Chapter 390 The world is at peace, and we are living the life we wanted.
"You've worked hard. Let's wipe the rain off you first."
Fang Xun approached Xiao with an umbrella, handing him a towel at the same time.
Before leaving home, Fang Xun had considered the possibility of Xiao arriving in the rain, so he specially prepared a towel.
"It doesn't matter."
Xiao gently shook his head, declining Fang Xun's offer.
He came in the rain, and he'll leave in the rain too.
So it doesn't matter whether you wipe the rain off your body or not.
"Fang Xun, isn't your friend cold?"
Just then, Paimon flew over.
Seeing Xiao completely soaked, Paimon instinctively shrank her neck; she felt cold just looking at Xiao.
Paimon had fallen into the water before and knew that wet, dripping feeling—it wasn't pleasant at all...
If she had gotten caught in the rain, she would definitely have taken the towel without hesitation and dried herself off.
But Xiao stood there unmoved, seemingly not caring at all about being soaked.
Fang Xun's friend... didn't talk much, and had an inexplicable air of detachment.
It was as if nothing could stir up any emotion in him.
He seems like someone with a lot to tell.
"Mr. Fang Xun, here is the White Shadow Sword you requested."
At this moment, Xiao handed the silver greatsword in his hand to Fang Xun.
He traveled all the way from Liyue to Mondstadt just to help Fang Xun buy a White Shadow Sword.
Fang Xun took the greatsword and weighed it carefully.
The White Shadow Sword felt heavy in my hand, and it looked much thicker than a typical two-handed sword.
When you swing it, it makes a whooshing sound as it cuts through the air.
Paimon seemed interested in the White Shadow Sword as well; she gripped it tightly with both hands and drew it with all her might.
However, the greatsword remained motionless, while Paimon himself tumbled several times in the air, nearly flying away.
"Phew... So tired, so tired. Is this sword made of stone? Why is it so heavy? I can't even lift it..."
"Ying, do you want to give it a try?"
"it is good."
Ying nodded gently. She stepped forward and raised the White Shadow Sword. It was a bit difficult to operate with one hand, but it was just right with two hands.
After a brief trial, Ying also discovered the extraordinary nature of this greatsword.
That is, it is sturdy, exceptionally sturdy.
If every member of the Knights of Favonius were equipped with this greatsword, they probably wouldn't need to change their weapons for the rest of their lives.
Because it's almost impossible for this greatsword to chip.
Looking at the white shadow sword, Fang Xun nodded in satisfaction, thinking that Noelle would be very happy to see this greatsword.
"Stay and have lunch together, then head back to Liyue later?"
Gathering his thoughts, Fang Xun patted Xiao on the shoulder and extended an invitation.
Xiao shook his head slightly: "No, I must return to Wangshu Inn as soon as possible."
"So urgent?"
Xiao looked up towards Liyue and softly hummed in agreement: "Although the Emperor has given his permission for this trip, it's still best not to leave for too long..."
Before Xiao could finish speaking, Fang Xun switched to his deceptive mode: "You said the Emperor has approved it, so there's no need to rush back."
"Xiao, you should follow in the footsteps of the Emperor."
"Following in the footsteps of His Majesty the Emperor... what does that mean?"
Xiao was somewhat confused.
After pondering for a moment, Fang gave a serious answer: "Simply put, it's about retiring to relax, tend to flowers, and walk birds, things like that."
"You've been working for over a thousand years, it's time for you to rest."
"Who knows, you might meet the person you're looking for in Mondstadt?"
To meet...the person I want to meet?
What does Mr. Fang Xun mean by this?
Just as Xiao was pondering, a breakfast shop owner walked up behind him.
"Young man, it's raining heavily outside, so it's not a good time for you to travel in a short period of time,"
"Why don't you come to our shop and have a bowl of ginger water to warm yourself up?"
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Xiao seemed to be electrocuted, and abruptly turned around.
After a brief silence, Xiao slowly uttered the name that had been buried deep in his memory.
"Fushe...is that you?"
The breakfast shop owner chuckled and ruffled Xiao's hair: "You little rascal, it's only been a short time! Don't you recognize me?"
Immediately afterwards, three more employees walked out from behind the boss.
One of the employees looked as steady and reliable as a rock.
The other two shop assistants were women; one seemed incredibly enthusiastic, and the other appeared gentle and kind.
The enthusiastic girl took a towel and wiped the rain off Xiao's face, saying in an annoyed tone, "Without your older brothers and sisters around, is this how you take care of yourself? You're such a worry."
Another gentle girl looked worried: "You must be feeling uncomfortable all wet, right? Go to the shop and take a shower, then put on the new clothes I sewed."
Perhaps in the eyes of the world, Xiao is a demon-slaying hero who appears and disappears without a trace and is difficult to get along with.
But in front of these four people, Xiao was just a younger brother who needed to be taken care of.
"How have you all been lately?"
Looking at the four people in front of him, Xiao slowly asked the question that was on his mind most.
The four of them smiled at each other: "We're living very fulfilling lives these days."
"When I'm in a good mood, I open the shop and work; when I'm in a bad mood, I close the shop and go fishing. Occasionally, I can even go on a trip or vacation."
"Yes, yes, it's so nice to have some free time! Every day is so enjoyable!"
Listening to the four people's cheerful laughter, Xiao vaguely remembered a phrase that Fu She and the others often said.
"When the world is at peace, we will also go and live a normal life."
Now, they are finally living the life they wanted.
"Let's go, don't disturb their reunion."
Fang Xun whispered, then quietly left with Ying and Paimon.
At this time, let Xiao reunite properly with his brothers and sisters.
Chapter 391 Give the coat to Ying, Paimon, drink more hot water.
After obtaining the White Shadow Sword, Fang Xun immediately set off for Noelle's residence.
I imagine the little girl would be overjoyed to see this greatsword.
Ying and Paimon chose to accompany Fang Xun.
After working at the breakfast shop, the two realized that taking care of children was relatively easier and the pay was more substantial.
Besides these, Ying also felt that with Fang Xun's help, they might be able to find her brother more quickly.
If she could meet her brother sooner, Ying would be willing to help him take care of the children.
Fang Xun sensed the decision Ying and Paimon had made, and he smiled, welcoming them to the group.
The heavy rain was still pouring down.
Fang Xun had prepared two umbrellas beforehand, and gave one of them to Ying.
Paimon lay on Ying's back, one giving verbal instructions and the other carrying them out, both carefully seeking shelter from the rain.
However, this method was not very effective; the rain drifted in obliquely with the cold wind, and the two of them still got soaked.
Fang Xun didn't say anything, but silently took off his coat and draped it over Ying's shoulders. After all, Ying was wearing a white dress, which made things a little inconvenient.
Ying paused for a moment, then thanked him softly.
Besides her brother, Fang Xun was the first person to lend her his coat to shelter from the rain.
Paimon, standing next to her, pouted, looking sulky and a little upset.
Fang Xun was so focused on Ying that he forgot there was someone else standing there getting soaked in the rain!
"Paimon..."
At this moment, Fang Xun called out Paimon's name.
"I'm here!"
Paimon immediately stopped being angry; she knew Fang Xun wouldn't ignore her.
"You got caught in the rain today, remember to drink plenty of hot water when you get home."
Fang Xun gave a serious and earnest instruction.
Paimon:? ? ?
You lent your coat to Ying to shield her from the rain, but when it was my turn, all you said was "drink more hot water."
