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

Fang Xun first escorted the Thunder Sisters back to rest, while he himself went out to search for the Scarlet Cherry Blossom.

Liyue Harbor is a vast and resource-rich place; surely we'll find the Crimson Cherry Blossom somewhere along the way?

With that thought in mind, Fang Xun got up and began searching.

He can use the treasure-hunting compass, so the difficulty level shouldn't be too high.

After Fang Xun left, a little girl slowly walked out from around the corner of Wanmin Hall.

The girl had short, shoulder-length black hair, which looked refreshing and capable.

At this moment, her eyes were fixed on Fang Xun's back, and then she looked at the portrait in her hand.

The portrait was a figure drawing, and it perfectly overlapped with the image of Fang Xun who had left.

Watching Fang Xun's retreating figure, the girl became even more certain of her guess.

“Back then, our ancestor Boyang received help from immortals and escaped from the deep abyss.”

"The first thing our ancestors did upon returning home was to record the appearance of the immortals in a painting."

"Our ancestors told their descendants that if they ever meet their benefactor, they must repay this life-saving kindness."

"But centuries have passed, and the benefactor has not appeared in Liyue Harbor, and this debt of gratitude has not been repaid."

"That person who just left must be our benefactor, right?"

"Our benefactor... seems to have encountered some trouble?"

Chapter 281 My name is Ye Lan, please guide me in the future.

As for Fang Xun's side,

He first took out the treasure-hunting compass from his backpack, and then set the target as the Crimson Cherry Blossom.

Soon, the treasure compass needle began to spin, providing direction for Fang Xun.

This also confirms Fang Xun's conjecture that there are indeed Crimson Cherry Blossoms in Liyue Harbor.

Guided by the treasure-hunting compass, Fang Xun quickly arrived at the entrance of a shop.

Talking with the store manager, I learned that the store does indeed have a batch of hydrangeas used to decorate sea lanterns.

The problem is that those cherry blossom hydrangeas are no longer fresh and cannot be used as ingredients at all.

Therefore, Fang Xun could only set off for the next location where the Crimson Cherry Blossom Flower could be found.

Unfortunately, after searching the entire Liyue Harbor, Fang Xun still couldn't find a suitable Cherry Blossom Ball to make the Tricolor Dumplings.

After all, Inazuma and Liyue are far apart, and by the time the Scarlet Cherry Blossom Ball is transported to Liyue, it will have long passed the time for consumption.

Tsk...

This is a bit tricky.

If Lei doesn't get to eat the tricolor dumplings, he'll definitely cry his eyes out, so pitiful.

Just as Fang Xun was having a headache, he heard a little girl's innocent voice beside him.

"My benefactor, do you need any help?"

After leaving Wanmintang, the girl secretly observed Fang Xun for a long time, learning that he was troubled by the fresh cherry blossom hydrangea.

In response, she decided to step forward and help Fang Xun.

Because many years ago, Fang Xun had saved her ancestor.

At this point, it can only be considered as repaying a debt of gratitude.

Fang Xun looked in the direction of the sound and saw a little girl standing not far away.

Looking at the girl's short hair, plus the rather eye-catching jewelry around her neck,

Fang Xun recognized her at a glance as Ye Lan when she was a child.

The young Yelan has not yet grown into the aloof and mature woman depicted in the story.

A pair of innocent, big eyes; she looks very cute.

Her smile is like a gentle breeze, possessing a heartwarming power.

Looking at Ye Lan in front of him, Fang Xun felt something was off.

I don't understand why Yelan calls him her benefactor.

He pondered that he hadn't helped Ye Lan in any way,

This should be the first time the two have met.

Thinking this, Fang Xun said, "Little sister, you've mistaken me for someone else."

"I haven't helped you in any way, I'm not your benefactor."

After saying that, Ye Lan shook her head.

She said with a serious expression, "I have checked several times to make sure I am not mistaken. You are the immortal who saved our ancestor Boyang hundreds of years ago."

Upon hearing Ye Lan's words, Fang Xun was first taken aback, then immediately understood.

He altered history, changing the fate of the Four Yakshas.

It was probably the butterfly effect that occurred at that time that allowed Boyang to survive and always remember Fang Xun's kindness.

This also explains why Ye Lan addressed Fang Xun as her benefactor when they first met.

Then, Yelan continued, "My benefactor, are you looking for fresh hydrangeas?"

"I know a place where you can find what you're looking for. Please come with me!"

Ye Lan ran forward with her short legs, waving to Fang Xun behind her, signaling him to hurry up and catch up.

And you know what? Although Yelan is small in stature, she is quite agile.

I'm afraid even a few adults would have a hard time capturing Ye Lan.

Upon hearing Ye Lan's words, Fang Xun immediately followed.

He knew that Yelan in the future was a professional intelligence broker.

Ye Lan knew all the information that was unknown to others.

Although Xiao Yelan has not yet grown into an information merchant, Fang Xun believes that Xiao Yelan must know something to take the initiative to lead the way.

Seeing her earnest expression, Fang Xun believed her without a doubt.

Fang Xun followed Ye Lan all the way to the city gate.

He met a familiar face here, Uncle Liben.

Ye Lan tugged at Fang Xun's sleeve and said in a childish voice, "My benefactor, this strange uncle sells fresh cherry blossom hydrangeas!"

Fang Xun squatted down, rubbed Ye Lan's head, and said with a light laugh, "Little girl, you don't need to call me benefactor, just call me by my name, Fang Xun."

"Besides, he's not some strange uncle, he's my good brother."

Xiao Yelan nodded as if she understood, "Then can I call you Brother Fang Xun?"

"Of course, many children call me that."

Seeing Fang Xun's amiable and approachable manner, without any airs of an immortal, Ye Lan felt a warmth rise in her heart.

"Brother Fang Xun, my name is Ye Lan. Please take care of me from now on~"

Chapter 282 Is Liben carrying an all-purpose backpack?

Liben has always been grateful to Fang Xun for saving his life.

Upon noticing Fang Xun's arrival, the merchant Li Ben took the initiative to greet him.

"My benefactor, it's been a long time. How have you been lately?"

Seeing his good friend Li Ben being so polite, Fang Xun waved his hand and said, "No need to be so formal, just call me Fang Xun."

"I've been doing well lately, focusing on taking care of the kids. Watching them grow up is a good thing."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liben looked like he suddenly understood.

He had been wondering who was running a kindergarten in Liyue.

So that person was Fang Xun.

"Liben, how have you been lately?"

At this moment, Fang Xun spoke up and asked a question.

He was still quite concerned about Liben's life.

For no other reason than that Liben is a good brother, he really gives us raw stones, so it's only right that we care about him.

After saying that, Liben scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "Business has been so-so lately, just barely enough to make ends meet."

After a few brief pleasantries, Fang Xun got straight to the point: "Liben, do you sell cherry blossom hydrangeas here? The fresh kind."

Liben pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Fresh cherry blossom hydrangeas? Yes, please wait a moment."

Liben opened his backpack and began searching carefully.

A short while later, he pulled out a box and handed it to Fang Xun.

"Mr. Fang Xun, these are fresh cherry blossom hydrangeas, please keep them safe."

Fang Xun was somewhat surprised to see the cherry blossom hydrangeas in the box.

Because those cherry blossom hydrangeas were so well preserved, as if they had just fallen from the sacred cherry tree.

Why was Riben able to preserve the cherry blossom hydrangea so well?

Is his backpack a portable refrigerator?

Fang Xun was a little confused, but he quickly figured it out.

It's important to know that Liben, as a businessman who travels to many countries,

If he doesn't master some unique preservation techniques, then some of his goods won't be able to be sold.
