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

If you're so capable, then take action! Talking without doing anything is just empty talk.

"Alright, I know you want to ask about 'pearls'."

After teasing Fang Xun, Lisa got down to business.

“After I returned to Mondstadt last night, I spent the whole night in the library looking up information about ‘pearls’.”

As he finished speaking, Fang Xun noticed the dark circles under Lisa's eyes and the weariness in them.

He initially thought Lisa hadn't slept well the night before, but it turned out she had stayed up all night helping with research.

This suggests that Lisa is quite concerned about Fang Xun's situation.

"Although I didn't sleep all night, I did manage to gain some insights."

"The pearl contains unimaginable power, unlike anything that current human technology can create... more like something from the hand of a god."

As they spoke, Lisa placed a stack of documents in front of Fang Xun.

Fang Xun picked up the document and examined it. The first word that caught his eye was Sky Island.

What do you mean?

Is that 'pearl' related to Sky Island?

At this point, Lisa added, "I searched through all the materials in the library and finally found some clues in an ancient magic book."

At this point, Lisa paused and looked at Fang Xun: "Little cutie, do you know about the strange pillars at the top of the snow mountain?"

Fang Xun thought for a moment and realized that the building Lisa was referring to was probably the Frost Nail.

"Lisa, you mean... the 'pearl' is actually part of the pillar?"

“That’s right,” Lisa nodded.

"I compared the data repeatedly and finally determined that the 'pearl' was part of the fragment."

"Legend has it that the pillars of the snow mountain fell from Sky Island, so I guess the pearl originated from Sky Island."

Upon hearing Lisa's analysis, Fang Xun suddenly understood.

This explains why Yura's ultimate attack could blast the dragon Usa into dust, yet this pearl remained intact during the explosion.

Because pearls are part of the Frozen Nails, a product of the Sky Isle.

"Alright, that's all the information I can find for you. That's all I can do."

"Put this back, I'm going to sleep."

Lisa returned the pearl from the Frostfire Nail to Fang Xun, her weariness becoming increasingly apparent.

She didn't get any rest all night and now she needs to catch up on her sleep.

As for work...

Mondstadt is a free country with flexible working hours.

For example, right now, Lisa can leave work with just a greeting.

For someone in a relatively easy position like her, the Knights of Favonius would usually grant her leave.

"Then I'll go out with you."

Fang Xun also planned to return to the hotel, and it just so happened that he was going the same way as Lisa.

"Your teacher will protect you."

Lisa smiled and did not refuse, then said something strange.

Fang Xun was completely confused by Lisa's words and didn't understand what she meant.

He did not agree to become Lisa's apprentice.

I don't know what kind of protection Lisa is providing.

Fang Xun was about to ask what was going on when he noticed Lisa walking briskly away with her hands in her pockets.

Lisa's words and actions are very much like a mature, sophisticated woman; her only shortcoming is perhaps a lack of maturity and experience, which makes her less charming and sophisticated.

In the end, she's still just a fake mature woman; deep down, she's probably just a girl.

Fang Xun quickened his pace to catch up with Lisa, walking side by side with her.

The two walked out of the library together, immediately attracting the attention of many knights.

It turns out Fang Xun wasn't looking for the Grand Master, but for Miss Lisa.

Miss Lisa, are you taking the day off today? Are you going with Mr. Fang Xun?

Although the Knights of Favonius didn't say anything, they all assumed that Lisa had taken leave to go on a date with Fang Xun.

Fang Xun finally understood why Lisa said she wanted to protect him.

Because Lisa's suitors, upon witnessing this scene, were filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.

If they hadn't known they were no match for Fang Xun, they would have definitely challenged him.

Soon, the Knights of Favonius approved Lisa's leave request.

The main problem is that Falga wasn't in the office; he didn't come at all.

So Lisa stamped her own seal, which is how her department always does it.

Even if Falga were in the office, he would probably have Lisa stamp it herself.

Fang Xun glanced at Lisa's leave application.

Good grief, they either don't take a vacation at all, or they take three days off.

Lisa took a vacation and went straight through the Flower Festival before returning to work.

Walking through the streets of Mondstadt, Lisa seemed to be in a good mood.

"The weather is really nice today, even the air smells fresher."

"Because the Flower Festival is coming soon, every household is preparing fresh flowers."

Fang Xun pointed to the windmill chrysanthemums that could be seen everywhere on both sides of the road.

Just then, a little boy ran over and tugged at Fang Xun's sleeve: "Big brother, your girlfriend is so pretty, buy her a bouquet of flowers!"

This is a common flower-selling tactic: children stroll down the street with fresh flowers, targeting newly dating couples.

Generally speaking, the man will buy a bouquet of flowers to save face or to show his affection for the woman.

This sales tactic may be old-fashioned, but it's still very effective.

During the Flower Festival, many children sell flowers from their homes on the streets.

Right now, the children are treating Fang Xun and Lisa as a couple, and they're even asking Fang Xun to buy flowers for Lisa.

Fang Xun and Lisa exchanged a glance, and both smiled knowingly.

"Little friend, I'll buy all the flowers you have here."

"Could you help me wrap up the flowers and give them to this beautiful lady?"

Because of the orders, the children were very happy and even became more proactive in their work.

While wrapping the flowers, he complimented Lisa on her beauty, saying the two were a perfect match.

"Sister, here's some flowers for you!"

Then, the child wrapped the flowers and handed them to Lisa.

Lisa accepted the flowers and smiled politely at the child.

Lisa often receives flowers from suitors, but she remains unmoved and politely declines.

If she really couldn't refuse, she would give the flowers to the girls of the Knights of Favonius, thus politely rejecting her suitors without embarrassing them.

But this time, it seems a little different.

Lisa doesn't plan to give away the flowers; she intends to keep them in vases for a while.

After all, the Flower Festival is just around the corner.

Without flowers, the festival loses its meaning.

The two continued walking down the street. Lisa, holding flowers, remarked with some emotion, "It's so nice not having to go to work... No wonder the Grand Commander is always so hard to find."

Fang Xun smiled and said, "It's fun to slack off for a while, and it's even more fun to slack off all the time."

"If you want more flexibility in your work schedule, you can become a teacher at my kindergarten."

Lisa feigned surprise: "Oh? That sounds like a good suggestion. I wonder what the salary and benefits are like at the kindergarten?"

"How about one million Mora a month?"

Lisa laughed and joked, "It would be more like it if we added a zero on top of that."

Fang Xun reluctantly replied, "Well... okay, then one million Mora over ten months."

Lisa didn't worry about the salary; she didn't care about money at all.

Otherwise, why would she become a librarian?

"If you agree to become my disciple, I'll take care of your child for free, how about it?"

Fang Xun didn't know why Lisa was so insistent on taking him as her apprentice, but he still refused.

I'd rather starve to death, die outside, or jump off this cliff...

As they were about to part, Fang Xun seemed to remember something.

He told Lisa to wait where she was, then turned and went into a restaurant.

Taking advantage of a moment when no one was looking, Fang Xun took the milk out of his backpack and handed it to Lisa.

"Drink a glass of milk before bed; it's calming and helps you sleep."

"Thank you."

Lisa didn't stand on ceremony with Fang Xun either. After spending some time together, the two had long since become familiar with each other.

"Oh, by the way, about the kindergarten job you mentioned earlier, I'll consider it."

"I'm going back now. Happy Flower Festival."
