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

As he walked, Fang Xun slowed his pace.

Because he saw a familiar figure not far away.

The girl was flat-chested, but her two high pigtails were particularly eye-catching.

Those are small walnuts from the Hall of Rebirth.

Fang Xun asked the Thunder Sisters to wait a moment while he went to check on the situation.

Hu Tao also noticed someone approaching, and she subconsciously looked up.

Upon seeing that it was Fang Xun who had arrived, Hu Tao waved to him in greeting.

"Big brother, what a coincidence, we meet again!"

Those big, plum-blossom eyes blinked brightly, full of liveliness and energy.

At this moment, Fang Xun's feelings were very complicated.

Because Hu Tao was holding an iron shovel and was diligently digging a hole.

Could this hole be used to bury Qiqi?

Fang Xun subconsciously looked around, and only after confirming that he did not see Xiao Qiqi did he feel relieved.

Fortunately it was just a false alarm.

"Little girl, what are you doing?" Fang Xun snapped out of his thoughts and asked Hu Tao softly.

Little Walnut put down the shovel in her hand and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

“If anyone else asked me this, I wouldn’t tell them this secret.”

"But if it's your older brother who wants to know, then I'll share this secret with you."

Little Walnut lowered her voice and whispered to Fang Xun, "Big brother, I found an ordinary treasure chest outside the city."

"I'm planning to bury it in the ground so that lots and lots of treasure chests will grow next year!"

Fang Xun found Xiao Hu Tao's serious expression quite adorable.

If they dig up the treasure chest she painstakingly buried, the little one will probably cry for a long time.

Of course, Fang Xun wouldn't bully Little Hu Tao like that; he might bully Taro Maru occasionally.

Just then, Little Walnut looked up at Fang Xun and asked, "Big brother, can you help me bury the treasure chest?"

"After the treasure chest grows next year, let's split it in half, okay? Okay?"

Seeing the adorable, expectant expression on Xiao Hu Tao's face, Fang Xun couldn't refuse and nodded in agreement.

Fang Xun took the shovel from Hu Tao and then began digging a hole.

The Thunder Sisters watched all this silently from the side.

Lei Yingdian tilted his head, completely bewildered: "What is Fang Xun doing? Why did he suddenly start digging a hole?"

Raiden stroked his chin and shared his insights.

"I'm not sure either. Mr. Fang Xun was probably helping the children."

Watching Hu Tao and Fang Xun's busy figures, Lei Yingdong nodded as if he understood.

It's so nice to be a child, to be able to receive Fang Xun's care.

...

Fang Xun was far more skilled at digging than Hu Tao. In just a short while, he had dug a pit that was half a person high.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Xun buried the ordinary treasure chest in the ground and filled the pit with an iron shovel.

After doing all this, Fang Xun put down the shovel and turned to leave.

Watching Fang Xun leave in a hurry, Hu Tao looked puzzled: "Big brother, where are you going?"

Fang Xun stopped and replied to Hu Tao, "I'll go fetch two buckets of water."

"Fetch water?"

"If you don't water them, how will other treasure chests grow from the original treasure chest?"

Although Fang Xun knew perfectly well that no other treasure chest could grow from the ground,

But in order to preserve Hu Tao's innocence, Fang Xun still took this matter seriously.

Upon hearing Fang Xun's words, Hu Tao was taken aback for a moment, then nodded happily: "Big brother, you're right!"

"Once we finish watering it, tons of treasure chests will definitely grow here next year!"

Just then, the system's voice rang in Fang Xun's mind.

"Ding! Walnut's favorability has increased from level 1 to level 2. Congratulations, host, you have obtained an Entangled Bond."

"Also, you will receive the item 'Teyvat Flower Quotes',"

"This book records in detail the meanings represented by all the flowers on the continent of Teyvat."

I helped Little Walnut bury the treasure chest, so my favorability rating increased again.

Chapter 279 The Language of Flowers: Eternal Love and Beauty

After saying goodbye to Little Walnut, Fang Xun led the Thunder Sisters to Jueyun Mountain and found the Glass Bag and Qingxin in a mountain valley.

Fang Xun used the power of wind to soar into the air and perfectly picked both types of flowers.

Fang Xun handed the two kinds of flowers to the Thunder Sisters and explained, "The purple flower is a glass bag. It is said that its downward-facing shape is to lock in the fragrance. It is a kind of medicinal material."

"The white flowers are said to have a calming effect and can be eaten raw. Would you like to try some?"

Lei stared intently at the fresh, refreshing plant.

She was curious about what this plant, Qingxin, which grows high in the mountains, tasted like.

It looks pretty good.

Lei Movie is planning to try a refreshing taste.

She then heard Fang Xun continue, "The taste of Qingxin is bitter, and many people cannot accept it."

"Liyue immortals feed on tranquility to achieve the effect of cultivating their mind and body."

"Of course, there are also people who genuinely enjoy the refreshing bitterness."

"Shadow, would you like to try some?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Yingdian immediately shook his head vigorously, his face full of resistance.

After Fang Xun said that Qingxin tasted bitter, Lei Movie lost all interest in Qingxin.

She only likes sweets and doesn't like bitter foods.

Instead, Raiden Shin looked up at Fang Xun and said softly, "Mr. Fang Xun, may I try Qingxin?"

"Many years ago, Gan Yu always told me that Qingxin was delicious."

"I didn't have the chance to taste it back then, but now that I do, I'd like to give it a try."

Fang Xun was somewhat surprised to hear Lei Dian's words.

I never imagined that I really had such a past with Gan Yu.

"Of course, please have a taste."

After saying that, Fang Xun handed Qingxin to Lei Dianzhen.

After tasting the refreshing flavor, Zhen gave her evaluation: "The refreshing flavor is better than I expected."

"It has a strong bitter taste when you first taste it, but then it has a sweet aftertaste."

"Overall, Qingxin is not bad, at least I personally like it."

After hearing Lei Dianzhen's evaluation of Qingxin, Fang Xun seemed somewhat dazed.

This passage seems familiar.

It seems like someone said something similar to him a long time ago.

I remember now, when Fang asked Gan Yu why she liked Qingxin, she gave the same answer.

Speaking of which, rain and lightning are quite similar.

One is a gentle, kind, and well-educated girl.

One is an introverted girl who blushes easily and has a charmingly naive personality.

They even share the same view on Qingxin.

"Really, besides eating it raw, there are many ways to cook Qingxin,"

"If you like to eat refreshing food, I can cook it for you."

Fang Xun often uses Qingxin to cook, so he has gained some cooking experience.

You could cook all sorts of dishes and use them to generate lightning, no problem at all.

Upon hearing Fang Xun's words, Lei Dianzhen showed a surprised expression.

"Really? Is this really possible?"

"I am very much looking forward to the dishes that Mr. Fang Xun will make using Qingxin."

Lei Dian was very happy because this was the first time Fang Xun had said he would cook for her.

In his joy, Lei Dian seemed to remember something.

She told Fang Xun to stay where he was, and then hurriedly pulled Lei Yingdian away.

Fang Xun didn't know what was going on either, but he stayed where he was and waited.

Time passed, and the two sisters, Raiden and Raiden, returned.

Raiden Shin held a large bunch of Qingxin in her hand, which she wove together to make it look like a bouquet.

Lei Dianzhen walked up to Fang Xun and handed Qingxin to him.

"Mr. Fang Xun... I would like to give you these tranquil gifts."
