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

"Every time I eat something delicious, all my fatigue disappears!"

Everyone was amazed by Paimon's appetite; despite her small size, she ate far more than they had imagined.

Will Paimon gain weight from eating so much?

"If I gain weight, will I be unable to fly?"

Ayaka Kamisato blinked her big eyes, her face full of curiosity.

Paimon said proudly, "No way, Paimon has a body that can't gain weight no matter how much I eat."

"So, does that mean Paimon is a flight emergency ration that won't make you fat?"

"That's right! No... Paimon isn't emergency food!"

"What was that saying again... Oh right, I'll remember this grudge!"

Paimon mimicked Yura's gesture, hands on her hips, pouting angrily.

Paimon has an exceptional talent for imitation.

Seeing that the little ones' attention was all on Paimon, Fang Xun and Taromaru finally had a rare moment of leisure.

Taro-maru's leisurely nature means the little demons won't use it as a mount, won't pull its fur for no reason, and can comfortably take a nap.

Fang Xun's leisurely pace stemmed from minimizing external distractions, allowing him to focus on fishing.

By the end of the day, Fang Xun had caught a total of ten fish.

In other words, he gained ten Entangling Fates that day.

Just by fishing, you can get ten entanglements, and the key is that those fish can also enhance your abilities, so it's pretty good.

As the sun slowly set, Fang Xun realized it was about time to shut down the network and head back.

After all, Fang Xun wasn't a night fishing enthusiast, and someone even left a lamp lit for him to return.

The little girls were all very well-behaved; they came over immediately after Fang Xun greeted them.

Ying and Paimon also returned to Mondstadt with Fang Xun.

Have you two thought about where you'll stay tonight?

On the way back, Fang Xun looked at Ying and Paimon.

The two exchanged a glance and shook their heads in unison.

Paimon doesn't seem like someone who's with Mora at all; his freeloading behavior rivals Wendy's.

Needless to say, Ying had just woken up from a deep sleep and had no money on her.

Yura in the group didn't speak. Once upon a time, she, like Ying and Paimon, had nowhere to go and had to live a life of hardship.

Thanks to Fang Xun's help.

Yura tilted her head back and quietly looked at Fang Xun's profile.

She was very glad that she chose to join Fang Xun's team, as she felt at home there.

Fang Xun, oblivious to Yura's expression, asked Paimon and Ying again, "So, we're going to have to sleep on the streets tonight?"

This question silenced Ying and Paimon once again; barring any unforeseen circumstances, this should be how things are tonight.

We'll have to figure out how to earn Mora tomorrow during the day, and then we can solve the accommodation problem.

"In that case, why don't you stay at our hotel?"

"Of course, it's not like I'm letting you stay for free. I'm just helping you pay upfront, and you'll have to pay me back tomorrow."

"Great! I have a place to sleep tonight!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Paimon's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly.

However, Ying didn't seem happy at all. She looked at Fang Xun and asked, word by word, "What if... we can't pay back the money?"

"Still not ready? That's easy to handle, I just happen to be short-staffed."

...

I'm late, sorry!

There was supposed to be another update, but I'll reschedule it. My body can't take it anymore.

Get some rest, everyone. Goodnight.

Chapter 386 The Super Invincible Paimon Combo

"Need manpower? Is it to help Fang Xun take care of these little ones?"

Paimon blinked, his gaze shifting to the little devils beside Fang Xun.

She immediately pictured the little girls clinging to her all day long.

"No, no... Paimon definitely can't take care of a child,"

"Just thinking about that scene makes Paimon feel exhausted. Taking care of children is a very hard job."

Seeing Paimon's serious expression, Fang Xun chuckled and said, "If you like children, then taking care of them won't feel tiring; on the contrary, you'll find it very interesting."

"But if you don't like children, you'll naturally find taking care of them painful."

Fang Xun paused for a moment, then continued, "Furthermore, I haven't considered having Paimon take care of the child... You're more like a mascot than a child."

Fang Xun was really hesitant to entrust the little ones to the care of a white-haired little girl wearing diapers.

As soon as he finished speaking, Paimon stomped his foot angrily: "Hey! What do you mean Paimon is just a mascot at best!"

"Paimon is Paimon, not some mascot... nor is it emergency food!"

Fang Xun ignored Paimon's complaints. If he were to listen to Paimon's grumbling, the little guy could talk for three days and three nights.

He turned his gaze to the traveler, Ying.

"Ying, what do you think?"

"If you don't earn enough to cover the rent tomorrow, come and babysit my child for two days. It's an equal exchange."

"If you make money, just give me the rent."

It's probably going to be tough for Ying to earn enough to cover the rent.

Because Paimon's food expenses alone amount to 300,000 moras a month.

Sometimes, Ying's earnings aren't even enough to feed Paimon.

Having Ying help take care of the child would be a good deal for both parties.

Seeing Ying's hesitant expression, Fang Xun continued, "Don't worry, taking care of the child won't affect your search for your relatives."

“You can absolutely raise your child while searching for your relatives,”

"The biggest advantage of doing this is having a stable source of income and not having to worry about expenses."

After she finished speaking, Ying lowered her head quietly and remained silent.

She is making a choice.

Fang Xun was right. Finding his brother wasn't something that could be accomplished overnight; there were many unknown obstacles ahead.

Without enough Mora, she would be unable to move an inch.

I need to stabilize my life first before I can better search for my brother.

After a moment of silence, Ying made her decision: "Fang Xun, then Paimon and I will be troubling you these next few days..."

"Tomorrow I'll go to work with Paimon, and then use the money I earn to pay off the rent."

"If I can't do that, I'll help you take care of your child for two days. Consider it an equal exchange."

In Ying's opinion, she could earn enough to cover the rent in a day.

The best outcome would be to return the money to Fang Xun later.

Paimon, standing next to him, nodded in agreement: "Ying, I believe we'll definitely be able to earn enough for the rent tomorrow."

"But before that, I think I'm a little hungry..."

A roadside restaurant caught Paimon's attention: "Fisherman's Toast, 1,000 Mora."

"Um... Fang Xun, could you lend us some more money?"

"I'll pay you back tomorrow, including the rent!"

Fang Xun was used to Paimon's gluttonous nature and gave him 5,000 Mora directly.

Ying suddenly felt immense pressure.

I haven't even started earning money to pay the rent yet, and now I've added another 5,000 mora to my debt.

However, seeing Paimon happily eating the fisherman's toast, I didn't feel so bad about the money anymore.

Upon arriving at the hotel, the traveler and Paimon looked up and surveyed the hotel's exterior.

The decor looks magnificent and stylish, with an artistic flair; I'm afraid a night's stay would cost quite a few Mora.

"Beware of vicious dogs inside, please do not approach."

At this moment, Paimon noticed a notice outside the hotel.

She looked around, finally fixing her gaze on the harmless-looking Taro.

"Does the so-called vicious dog refer to Taromaru? But Taromaru doesn't look like a vicious dog, that's strange..."

Ying stroked her chin thoughtfully: "Taromaru is probably very gentle with his own people, but not so easy to get along with outsiders."

Fang Xun smiled and explained, "Actually, Taro Maru is very docile to everyone. The reason I call him a vicious dog is just to keep the inn quiet."

Fang Xun still remembered how much attention they attracted when they first arrived in Mondstadt.

After all, who wouldn't like a bunch of cute little girls?

For several days, curious onlookers kept coming to watch, severely disrupting Fang Xun and the others' lives.

Left with no other option, Fang Xun had the boss write a notice saying "Beware of vicious dogs inside."

This approach proved effective; once the notice was posted, few people dared to come and join the fun.
