Genshin Impact: Ningguang is still a pitiful little thing, I invested in her.

Perhaps because of the increased favorability, Gan Yu held Fang Xun's arm even tighter on the way back.

Fang Xun couldn't help but laugh at this.

It's one thing for the little ones to be clingy, but I didn't expect Gan Yu to be just as clingy.

Gan Yu's big, blinking eyes were filled with Fang Xun, and only Fang Xun.

You can't hide your feelings for someone; even if you cover your mouth, they'll show in your eyes.

...

An uninvited guest came to Fang Xun's house today.

A petite figure stood at the kindergarten gate, her big, watery eyes curiously surveying the building in front of her.

The girl had long, glossy black hair tied into pigtails, making her look very playful and cute.

The visitor was Little Walnut from the Hall of Rebirth.

When she met Fang Xun at Wuwang Slope, she sensed that he possessed an extraordinary aura.

Out of curiosity, Little Walnut came to find out.

"Who are you...who are you looking for...?"

At this moment, Qiqi walked out of the house and asked Hu Tao at the door.

When Fang Xun is not home, Qi Qi is in charge of protecting everyone's safety.

Upon discovering a stranger loitering at the door, Qiqi naturally had to come out to investigate.

Taro-maru followed closely beside Nana, still with a mouthful of food in his mouth.

"My name is Hu Tao. Hu means to eat and drink to one's heart's content, but Tao doesn't mean to be naughty!"

Little Walnut stood with her hands on her hips, introducing herself, her high ponytail bouncing lively.

But Qiqi, standing opposite her, looked completely bewildered, her eyes filled with confusion, clearly unable to understand what Hu Tao was saying.

"Hey, isn't it funny?"

Little Walnut stared intently at Qiqi.

She sensed that the peculiar aura emanating from Fang Xun came from the girl in front of her.

Hu Tao stared at Qi Qi for a moment, then asked, "What's your name?"

"Qiqi... my name is Qiqi... this is the name Fang Xun told me..."

Little Qiqi's big, peach-colored eyes were so innocent and pure.

She had long forgotten her own name.

All I remember is that when I first met Fang Xun, he said her name was Qi Qi.

From then on, Qiqi has always called herself that.

"Qiqi...I've written down your name."

The name Qiqi is easy to remember. Hu Tao only muttered it twice before she remembered it.

At this moment, Xiao Qiqi looked at Hu Tao in front of her and said in her childish voice, "Hu Tao... are you here to see Fang Xun? He's not home today..."

Hu Tao raised an eyebrow and asked, "Fang Xun? Is that the older brother's name?"

"I'm not here to see him, I'm here to see Qiqi."

Qiqi blinked her big eyes, her voice full of confusion: "Ah... looking for me..."

"You're looking for Qiqi...is there something you need...?"

Hu Tao said in a serious tone, "Qi Qi, you don't belong to this world."

After a brief observation, Hu Tao confirmed that Qi Qi had already passed away.

No body temperature, expressionless, body somewhat stiff.

They are pitiful souls imprisoned in this mortal world, unable to find liberation.

Hu Tao wants to help Qi Qi escape her pain.

In addition to holding funerals, the services of the funeral parlor also include sending the deceased to their proper place.

Hu Tao mimicked her grandfather's earnest tone and said to Qi Qi, "I'm taking you away to bury you in peace."

Qi Qi tilted her head, her eyes filled with increasing confusion: "If Qi Qi is laid to rest... then will Fang Xun also be laid to rest?"

Xiao Qiqi didn't understand the meaning of "to be buried in peace".

She simply wanted to be with Fang Xun no matter what.

Where Fang Xun is, Qi Qi will be.

She was unwilling to go anywhere without Fang Xun's help.

Hu Tao was clearly stumped by Qi Qi's question.

She scratched her head, looking quite troubled, and replied, "Fang Xun cannot be buried with Qi Qi."

"Because Fang Xun is still alive, unlike Qi Qi."

"Alright, alright, let's hurry up and go. It's getting late."

As Hu Tao spoke, she reached out her hand to Qi Qi.

According to my grandfather, these deceased people must be taken away at an inauspicious time.

Time is limited, so I cannot stay long.

Little Qiqi shook her head, her eyes filled with rejection: "No... Qiqi won't leave... Qiqi wants to stay by Fang Xun's side..."

As they were talking, Qiqi ran over from beside Hu Tao and hid behind Fang Xun, who was walking towards them.

"Qiqi, don't separate from Fang Xun..."

"Qiqi likes it here...she likes Fang Xun..."

Fang Xun glanced at Qi Qi, who was hiding pitifully behind him, and then at Xiao Hu Tao, who was standing at the door.

So you're called Hu Tao? You're here to bully my Qi Qi?

...

The data has been declining recently, and you can probably tell the problem from the number of people requesting more updates.

This is also the biggest drawback of fan fiction: its lifespan is extremely short, and it rarely goes on for a long time.

Family, please give me some free gifts, I'm a little overwhelmed!

Don't laugh, but the author wants to write a very long book, one million words.

After I finish writing the Mondstadt storyline, I also want to write the story of the little grass god of Mount Sumeru.

I hope everyone can give me some gifts to support this book and help it go further.

Chapter 267 is considered a unique exception.

"Good evening, big brother. We meet again."

Seeing Fang Xun arrive, Hu Tao waved to greet him.

Fang Xun glanced at Hu Tao, then at Qi Qi hiding behind him.

He could probably guess what had happened.

It must be that Hu Tao wanted to kidnap Qi Qi, but Qi Qi refused.

In the game, Hu Tao always wanted to capture Qi Qi and bury her.

Unexpectedly, even with the timeline moved forward, Little Walnut still wants to send Qiqi away.

This also shows that Hu Tao is really determined to catch Qi Qi.

Fang Xun naturally couldn't stand idly by in the face of this.

Although Qiqi likes to eat the small, guaranteed meals, she is really cute and adorable.

Fang Xun then said to Hu Tao seriously, "Little Hu Tao, Qi Qi is very kind, you mustn't bully her."

Upon hearing this, Hu Tao pouted and defended herself, "This isn't bullying at all. I'm helping Qi Qi alleviate her pain; I'm doing a good deed."

Influenced by the Hall of Rebirth, Hu Tao has believed since childhood that the deceased should cross the 'boundary' and go to their proper place.

Occasionally, unexpected events occur, resulting in deceased individuals remaining in the world.

This not only disrupts the balance of Yin and Yang, but also causes suffering for people on both sides.

Right now, Hu Tao feels that Qi Qi is going through a lot of pain, that she is a pitiful person who cannot find relief and is suffering.

That's why she wanted to bury Qiqi.

Upon hearing Hu Tao's words, Qi Qi immediately hid behind Fang Xun, not daring to show her face.

"Qiqi...doesn't feel any pain..."

"When she was with Fang Xun... Qi Qi was very happy..."

"Please...don't take Qiqi away...okay..."

Hearing Qiqi's words, Xiao Hutao's heart wavered.

It's not hard to see that there's a deep bond between Qi Qi and Fang Xun.

If we separate the two like this, will it really alleviate Qiqi's pain? Or will it have the opposite effect?

However, this is also related to the balance of Yin and Yang.

Does the presence of a deceased person in the world really have no impact?

Little Walnut bit her lip, hesitant.

Fang Xun noticed Hu Tao's hesitation and decided to tell her the story.

Fang Xun then said to Qi Qi, "Qi Qi, you can leave this to us."

"Taro looks a little hungry. Why don't you go home and prepare some dog food for him?"
