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

Perhaps it's because of this period of time spent practicing under the guidance of Gan Yu.

In short, Shin-ho's growth surprised Yae no Kamiko.

Given time, the little girl will surely master the magic, and might even be regarded as a fairy of Liyue by the world.

Compared to Yae no Miko's感慨 (sentiments/reflections), Fang Xun's concern wasn't how long Xiao Shenhe could hold his breath underwater.

He was worried that Shen He would catch a cold, so he told her to take a hot shower and change into new clothes.

That set of clothes was soaked through and could no longer be worn.

Shen He nodded gently and obediently did as Fang Xun said.

After she finished showering, she changed into a clean set of new clothes.

Fang Xun took out a towel and gently wiped Shen He's wet hair.

"You silly girl,"

"Other kids hide in closets or under beds when they play hide-and-seek, but you hid in a water tank instead,"

"That's very dangerous. You're not allowed to do that again, understand?"

Although he knew that Yae no Kamiko would protect Shen He's safety, Fang Xun still couldn't help but lecture him.

Because children are still very naive, there are many things that must be clearly told to them that they cannot do.

This was the first time Shen He had ever seen Fang Xun so fierce.

She pouted, looking wronged, as if to say that she did it because she was confident.

Even if you hold your breath underwater for a whole day and night, you won't have any problems.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Xun said, "Why are your hands still frozen like ice cubes after you took a shower? Come here and let me warm them for you."

Shen He nodded gently and obediently stretched out his hands.

Fang Xun's palms were very warm.

It made her think of her deceased mother.

Her mother used to warm her hands like this when they were cold.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Xun brought over a bowl of steaming ginger tea.

"Drink this bowl of ginger tea to dispel the cold."

While Shen He was taking a bath, Fang went to the kitchen and made ginger tea.

Looking at the ginger tea in front of him, Shen He subconsciously shrank back, his expression full of resistance.

Shen He didn't like ginger tea because it tasted bad.

"Brother Fang Xun, can He'er not drink ginger tea? I don't like it."

Shen He looked up at Fang Xun, his clean and clear eyes blinking.

"No, you have to finish it."

Fang Xun shook his head.

"There's no room for negotiation on this. Even pleading or acting cute won't work."

Fang Xun paused for a moment, then continued, "After dinner, I'll take the kids out shopping."

"But disobedient children can only stay at home and cannot go out."

Fang Xun figured the kids had been cooped up at home for the past two days, so he decided to take them out for some fresh air tonight.

And the trick of 'taking them out to play' is always effective in getting the little ones to obey.

Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, Shen He immediately said in a childish voice, "He'er is an obedient child."

Immediately afterwards, she picked up the ginger tea and gulped it down.

Seeing that Shen He had finished the ginger tea, Fang Xun finally felt relieved.

He turned and went to the kitchen to make dinner for the little ones.

Just then, Yae no Miko stood up and bid farewell to Fang Xun.

"Priest, won't you stay for dinner?"

The goddess chuckled and shook her head: "I won't eat now. I'll eat it another time when I have the chance, and I'll eat it slowly."

"I've finished my tasks for today, now I'm going back to rest."

Yae no Miko stood up and stretched lazily.

Whether it's her temperament or her figure, there's nothing wrong with Yae no Miko.

She perfectly embodies the phrase "a feast for the eyes".

"I think Kage and Makoto must also have a lot to say to me."

"Go listen to what they have to say, it's actually not bad."

"Alright, it's getting late, I'll take my leave now."

Yae no Miko waved goodbye and disappeared around the street corner.

Fang Xun scratched his head. What's wrong with Yae no Miko lately? He didn't even bother to eat dinner before leaving?

He didn't think much of it and went to cook for the kids.

The little ones ate their meal with gusto, except for Wendy and Taro, who didn't seem to enjoy it.

Needless to say, Taro-maru makes even the sight of food nauseous.

When Fang Xun was away, Qi Qi was either feeding it or on her way to feed it.

Wendy's situation wasn't much better; she unwittingly ended up on Fang Xun's ship and became his guide in the snowy mountains.

Whenever I think about this, even my food loses its appeal.

Fang Xun also noticed this.

"Wendy, why do you look so listless?"

"Taro Maru, why do you seem so weak?"

Wendy and Taro looked worried.

"What's wrong? Is something on your mind?"

Wendy and Taro didn't look up, and didn't even hear Fang Xun's words.

Both the person and the dog became withdrawn and isolated.

This state cannot be adjusted in a short time.

I feel like I'll never be happy again...

Fang Xun looked at the two of them and then said, "Going out to play?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wendy and Taro both looked up.

Before Fang Xun could react, a person and a dog were already standing at the door.

Wendy opened the door, her eyes fixed on Fang Xun.

Taro-maru, with the leash in his mouth, pointed his chin toward the door.

It's as if to say, "What are you standing there for? Come on, let's go!"

...

I've been quite busy these past few days, often getting home very late.

So I was temporarily transformed into a beast, I'm so sorry.

Once I'm done with these next couple of days, I'll catch up on all the chapters I've missed.

I swear in the name of the great wind god Barbatos!

Finally, everyone should get some rest early and avoid staying up late.

Chapter 287 Qiqi Has a New Friend

Liyue Harbor is a completely different world at night compared to during the day.

During the day, Liyue is mainly a trading town. Merchants walk briskly with their heads down, not lingering even for a moment because of the beautiful scenery.

As night falls, people who have finished their work begin to unload their burdens and relax.

Families came out for a stroll, and the streets were lined with all sorts of stalls.

This city is dazzling, quiet, and beautiful.

At this moment, Fang Xun was walking down the street with a group of little guys, Wendy, and Taro.

Fang Xun kept turning back every few steps, worried that the little ones might run off while playing.

Fortunately, the little ones were all very well-behaved and stayed close to Fang Xun, never leaving his side.

However, this constant closeness seems to have gone a bit too far.

Because the little ones were holding Fang Xun's hand tightly, or tugging at his clothes and refusing to let go.

If they accidentally separate halfway through, the little ones will immediately grab Fang Xun again.

Their nervous little expressions made it seem as if they were afraid Fang Xun would abandon them.

Seeing how adorable the little ones were, Fang Xun let them do as they pleased.

This also meant that Fang Xun couldn't free his hands to grasp Taro-maru's leash.

Taro-maru carried the rope himself and silently followed behind the group.

Many passersby stared at Taro-maru, then showed expressions of surprise.

I never expected that this scorpion would have such a strong sense of self-management.

Shaluo tugged at Fang Xun's sleeve, intently surveying their surroundings.

This was her first time visiting the Liyue Night Market.
