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

"Alright, I'm in a great mood today. I'll treat you to a big meal tonight!"

Araki Ichito waved his hand, looking quite dashing.

The two underlings exchanged a glance, and Ah Shou asked with a complicated expression, "Boss, are we going to have roasted violets again tonight?"

"I already said it was a feast, how could roasted violets be a feast? Ah Shou, are you stupid?"

"The only thing worthy of being called a 'feast' is, of course, the violet hot pot!"

Genta and Ashou looked at each other, wondering if this was still a violet melon.

Araki Ichito: I will choose the same cooking method for violet cucumber depending on the different ingredients.

Genta looked up at the sky. There was a sunset when he came, but it had turned gloomy and looked like it might rain at any moment.

The autumn rainy season in Inazuma changes in an instant, giving no time to react.

Genta looked at Araki Ichito and asked timidly, "Boss, it looks like it's going to rain again. Should we still go out?"

"Of course I'm going out! Rainy days are perfect for hot pot!"

Upon hearing this, Ashou quickly suggested, "Then I'll take the umbrella with me, otherwise getting wet and catching a cold would be a real problem."

"A real man never needs an umbrella; facing the storm head-on is the true romance of a man! Wait, the rain seems to be getting heavier; quickly, open your umbrella!"

...

Although the three people were all small in stature, it was really difficult for that umbrella to fit them all under.

Araki Kazuto realized that if things continued like this, all three of them would get soaked in the rain.

So he quietly made room for his two underlings and chose to get soaked in the rain himself.

As the leader of the Ara-ryū-ha, it's natural that he'd be the one to get soaked in the rain.

"Hey, boss, your clothes are soaked from the rain!" A-Shou noticed Arataki Ichito's unusual appearance and exclaimed in surprise.

"What's the big fuss about? Hold your umbrella properly."

"Facing the storm head-on is the romance a man should have."

Araki Kazuto said without turning his head.

For some reason, when Araki Ichito said those words, Fang Xun's silhouette naturally came to mind.

It’s weird.

He looked down at the Eye of God hanging on his chest, thinking that he would get Fang Xun an Eye of God too when he had the chance.

After all, Fang Xun is the second-in-command of the Huanglong Sect!

Fang Xun himself is currently unaware that he has joined the Huanglong Sect.

Chapter 439 Switching Back and Forth Between the Little Devil and the Sweetheart

"Ying and Paimeng, seeing the words is like seeing the person."

"By the time you see this message, I will have already left my residence to meet two friends I haven't seen in a long time, and I may not be back until tonight."

"So during my absence, I'll have to trouble you to take care of the children. Fang Xunliu."

Having read this far, Paimon put down the letter and turned to look at the traveler Ying beside him.

"The original plan for today was to go to the Knights of Favonius to inquire about your brother,"

"But now it seems the timing conflicts..."

"It's alright, we can go to the Knights of Favonius tomorrow."

Ying smiled and gently shook her head, seemingly not annoyed.

Because she had a vague premonition that even if she went to the Knights of Favonius, she might not find any clues about her brother.

Finding my brother is an extremely long and difficult journey, so there's no need to rush.

On the other hand, Fang Xun's children can't be left unattended.

Paimon nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, then let's stay home and take care of the kids today!"

"Paymon seems very confident."

Sensing Paimon's high spirits, Ying casually joked.

"Of course, taking care of children is much easier than handing out flyers, right?"

"With the added benefit of watching Fang Xun's actions every day, Paimon has now learned how to take care of children!"

Paimon stood with his hands on his hips, looking very confident.

However, this confidence didn't last even a day, or even half a day, before Paimon went from a flying dwarf violet to a wilted eggplant.

If he had to choose between "taking care of the kids" and "distributing flyers," Paimon would definitely choose the latter without hesitation.

Taking care of children is so tiring, even more tiring than handing out flyers.

The main problem is that Fang Xun's little devils are just too mischievous, with no fear of causing trouble whatsoever.

Sometimes, when a dog walks by on the street, these little ones will look at it with curiosity and try to reach out and touch it.

This terrified Paimon, who quickly reached out to stop him.

From that moment on, Paimon never dared to take his eyes off the children again, not even for half a second.

In addition, the little girls are incredibly energetic and can't stay still for a moment.

Wherever there were lots of people and excitement, they would drag Ying and Paimon there, wanting to play all sorts of games...

Throughout the day, Paimon and Ying were running around everywhere without stopping to rest.

Fortunately, with the help of Mrs. Kamisato and Gan Yu, otherwise the two of them really wouldn't have been able to handle it.

"Fang Xun seems to take care of the children very easily, but in reality it is not simple at all."

"Taking care of children is really hard work."

Looking at those little devils running around and making a ruckus, Paimon couldn't help but sigh.

Upon hearing this, Ying silently complained, "Paimon is only responsible for eating with the kids, which doesn't seem to have anything to do with hard work."

"How can you say that? It's clearly a very tiring thing to eat with kids!"

Paimon stomped his foot angrily in protest.

Looking at Paimon, who was fuming, Ying found it amusing: "But when it comes to eating, Paimon seems to be the happiest."

"That's not important! In short, taking care of children is a very tiring thing!"

"When Fang Xun comes back, he absolutely has to treat us to a meal, no, no, he has to treat us to many, many big meals!"

"Having a big meal is no problem; we can arrange it tonight."

Just as the two were bickering, Fang Xun walked over.

After leaving Inazuma, he took Taromaru back to their residence immediately.

He could imagine the hardships Ying and Paimon faced in taking care of the child, so he agreed to treat them to dinner without hesitation.

"Brother Fang Xun, we miss you so much..."

"Brother Fang Xun, give me a hug..."

When the little girls saw Fang Xun return, they all put down their toys and toddled towards him, wanting a hug.

This scene completely stunned Paimon.

Is this still the same mischievous little devil she remembers?

How come she becomes such a sweet and obedient little darling in front of Fang Xun?

"Okay, hug."

Fang Xun smiled and squatted down, picking up one little girl after another and lifting them high in the air, while observing each child's condition.

Ningguang had grown considerably taller than when they first met, and her nutrition had clearly improved.

Shen He's skin looks even whiter and smoother, like it's been soaked in milk.

Ayaka Kamisato's face looks chubby and feels smooth and elastic when pinched.

These are all growths that Fang Xun has witnessed firsthand.

"Are you hungry? Come on, I'll take you to eat."

Fang Xun made a point of returning before dinner so as not to miss the time to eat with the children.

"Fang Xun..."

At this moment, Ying called out to Fang Xun and told him about her schedule for tomorrow.

"You mean...you're going to the Knights of Favonius tomorrow to ask someone about your brother?"

"I was just planning to visit the Knights Order anyway, let's go together."

Chapter 440 Paimon: Yes, yes, that's exactly what I meant.

"Ying, I've already spotted the Knights of Favonius! We're sure to find a clue about your brother today!"

Paimon pointed to the tall building in the distance and turned to call out to the blond traveler behind him.

"I'm supposed to be helping you find your brother, but for some reason, Paimon feels really nervous..."

As the knights drew ever closer, Paimon felt his heart pounding like a drum.

"I think Ying must feel the same way I do right now, right?"

In response to Paimon's sentiments, Ying slowly said, "I am very calm right now."

"Eh?"

Paimon's face was full of surprise; Ying's answer was truly unexpected.

"We're about to go look for clues about your brother. Aren't you nervous?"

Ying shook her head: "I think the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, after all, so much time has passed."
