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

Is she sick?

Fang Xun didn't know; perhaps the answer could only be found at Narukami Shrine.

...

"Mr. Fang Xun, welcome to Narukami Taisha Shrine with your friends!"

The shrine maidens of Narukami Shrine didn't recognize the Raiden Sisters in their disguises, but they could recognize Fang Xun at a glance.

Because the former palace chief, Yae no Miko, often mentioned Fang Xun's name.

Therefore, the priestesses all had a deep impression of Fang Xun.

"Excuse me, where is your chief priest now?"

"Please pass on a message for me, saying that an old friend is visiting."

At this moment, Lei Dianzhen stepped forward and spoke politely.

The palace official she mentioned was none other than the Fox Palace Attendant.

Since Yae no Miko left, all affairs of Narukami Taisha have been handed over to Kosai-gumi for management.

"I'm so sorry, Lord Gongji had to go out on an urgent matter and hasn't returned yet."

Realizing that Fang Xun and his group had come to see the High Priest, the priestesses dared not be negligent.

"As for Ah Xing, let her show Mr. Fang Xun around. I'll try to contact Lord Gong Si."

As soon as he finished speaking, the shrine maiden beside him quickly stepped forward to remind him, "Ah-Xing hasn't returned from her field mission yet, have you forgotten?"

Fang Xun vaguely remembered the name A Xing; it must refer to Kuki Shinobu's older sister.

Hisaki Shinobu's parents lived far away, and the two sisters relied on each other for survival at Narukami Shrine.

Now that her older sister has gone out, only little Shinobu is left alone, which is quite pitiful.

"No need to trouble yourself, we can just wander around on our own."

Fang Xun waved his hand and went inside first.

In the game, Narukami Shrine is just a tiny place; you can see all the scenery by simply taking a few steps.

In reality, the developers deliberately reduced the content to save players' memory.

Looking down at the Narukami Shrine where I am, it is like a magnificent palace, stretching as far as the eye can see.

Even tourists getting lost and disoriented is a common occurrence at Narukami Taisha Shrine.

It was at this moment that Fang Xun saw Koji Shinobu again.

At that moment, the little girl carried several thorny plants in her arms as she walked towards the room.

Upon seeing this scene, Fang Xun immediately recalled the backstory of Hisaki Shinobu.

When Shinobu Hisaki was very young, she caught a cold, and coincidentally, her parents and older sister were not around at the time.

Not wanting to cause trouble for the other priestesses, she picked thorny plants and wrapped them around her body.

The reason for doing this is that there is a rumor that such an action can bring the blessing of Narukami and cure diseases.

The truth is that the rumors were completely useless. Hisuki Shinobu's entire body was covered in red marks from being pricked, but his cold showed no signs of improvement.

Suffering from both illness and torment.

Fang Xun didn't want Jiu Qi to suffer foolishly, so he had to do something.

Chapter 435 Shinobu Kyuuki: I Want to Study Abroad in Liyue

During this period, Inazuma has experienced continuous autumn rains, and the temperature is dropping day by day.

The tender green leaves gradually turned golden before finally falling to the ground in the wind.

The shrine maidens living on the mountaintop were the first to feel the autumn chill, putting on thicker clothes early on, and then standing under the sacred cherry tree to gaze into the distance and admire the autumn scenery.

Of course, not everyone likes autumn.

Every year around this time, some people fall seriously ill due to the change of seasons.

Among them was Hisagi Shinobu, who had caught a cold.

Hisuki Shinobu's daily life after falling ill can only be described as terrible.

First, I felt dizzy and listless, and often lost focus.

It's not that her thoughts are jumping around, but rather that she has no way to concentrate.

Another thing is that I'm extremely sensitive to the cold; even when I'm lying in a thick quilt, my body still trembles uncontrollably.

Every time he went to sleep, Shinobu Hisaki could only curl up into a small ball to keep his body warm.

But this didn't work; Hisaki Shinobu would still wake up from the cold.

In order to recover as quickly as possible, Kuki Shinobu found thorny plants and tied them to his body.

Legend has it that such a feat can earn the blessing of Lord Narukami and remove all calamities and illnesses.

"Lord Narukami, please bless me and help me recover from my illness soon..."

Hisaki prayed in a low voice, his face full of piety.

A chilly autumn wind howled into the small room.

Hishiru's body trembled uncontrollably, but she dared not move, for even the slightest movement would cause the splinters on her skin to injure her.

"Just let it go," Hisa thought cruelly.

If you just persevere, you will get better...

"You are very ill and you must see a doctor."

Hearing a sound beside him, Hisaki Shinobu groggily opened his eyes.

She tried to look Fang Xun up and down, feeling like she'd seen him somewhere before.

I remember now.

She had met this older brother once before, and the two had a brief conversation when they went up the mountain.

No one knows how Fang Xun got here; he probably just stumbled upon the sick Hisaki Shinobu by chance.

"It's okay, Hishitoshi will feel better after a good night's sleep."

Hisaru gently shook his head, declining Fang Xun's offer.

She is a very strong-willed person.

I'd rather suffer here in the cold than cause trouble for others.

Fang Xun looked at the thorny plants on Jiuqi Ren's body and said, "Even if you sleep with these things tied to you, your illness will not get better."

"Actually, you can tell even if I don't say it that rumors aren't always true, right?"

Hisaki Shinobu remained silent for a moment, then nodded.

As she trembled and endured the pain, waiting for Narukami's protection, she realized that the rumors were unreliable.

At that time, she had no choice but to wait for a miracle.

"Does it hurt?"

As Fang Xun spoke, he cleaned the grass and foliage off Hisahi Shinobu's body.

These splinters are very sharp; if you're not careful, they can easily cut your skin.

I don't know how the little girl mustered up the courage to wrap it around her body.

The wooden splinter left red marks on Jiuqi Ren's chubby arms, making Fang Xun feel sorry for him.

"It doesn't hurt," Hisagi Shinobu gently shook her head.

She was really a very well-behaved child, and she forced a smile so as not to worry Fang Xun.

"Get on, I'll carry you to the clinic."

Fang Xun squatted down and turned to look at Hisagi Shinobu behind him.

Seeing Jiuqi's hesitant expression, Fang Xun smiled and said, "What, are you afraid I'll kidnap you?"

“I know your sister, A-Xing, and I’m also friends with the chief priest here. I wouldn’t lie to you.”

As if to prove something to Hisaki Shinobu, Fang Xun even greeted the shrine maiden outside.

"This child is sick. Is it okay if I take her to the clinic?"

"Is Ah Ren sick? We haven't noticed it at all. We'll have to trouble Mr. Fang Xun for help."

Narukami Taisha is currently overwhelmed with affairs, and the shrine maidens are too busy to keep up.

Fang Xun offered to take Jiuqi Ren to see a doctor, which the shrine maidens were naturally more than happy to do.

From their brief conversation, Hisahi Shinobu also realized that Fang Xun was a trustworthy person.

Because all the shrine maidens at Narukami Shrine respected him greatly.

At the same time, it was also the first time that Hisahi Shinobu had learned Fang Xun's name.

Judging from the name, you must be from Liyue, right?

Just as Jiuqi was pondering, Fang Xun rubbed the little girl's head and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to see a doctor."

Seeing Fang Xun's insistence, Jiu Qiren nodded in compromise and obediently lay on Fang Xun's back.

Fang Xun's back felt warm, and Jiuqi Ren felt less cold.

"Big brother, I didn't mean to disbelieve you."

On the way down the mountain, Hisaki Shinobu took the initiative to speak.

"From the first time I met you, I knew you were a very, very good person."

"Really? Why is that?"

"Because seeing you reminds me of my sister, who is also a very good person."

When he said this, Hisaki Shinobu was in a somewhat downcast mood.
