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

Seeing that Wendy reeked of alcohol, Fang Xun couldn't help but ask.

The original plan was for Wendy to drive the Kamisato family back to Inazuma after the banquet tonight.

However, Fang Xun was very worried about Wendy's current condition.

"Of course, no problem. I can find the route from Mondstadt to Inazuma with my eyes closed. Mr. Fang, you can rest assured!"

Wendy assured him confidently.

Fearing that Fang Xun wouldn't believe her, Wendy even pointed out the direction.

Fang Xun was silent for a moment, then said with a complicated expression, "Well, you mean the direction of Sumeru?"

"Hey, don't worry about the details. Anyway, Dvalin will take us to Inazuma."

Fang Xun thought that although Wendy was unreliable, Dvalin was still reliable, after all, Dvalin was no joke.

Soon, the time for parting arrived.

At Wendy's summons, Dvalin appeared with a resentful look, having said the same thing so many times before: "Barbatos, do something worthwhile."

Meanwhile, Ayaka's mother and Ayato Kamisato had packed their luggage and said goodbye to Fang Xun and his group, thanking Fang Xun for his hospitality over the past few days.

Perhaps because of reluctance, Ayaka's eyes were red and glistening with tears, as if she would burst into tears at any moment.

What she hates most is separation. Why can't everyone stay together forever? Why do we have to separate?

The thought of not being able to see each other for so long made Ayaka Kamisato very sad.

At that moment, Ayato noticed his younger sister's dejection and stepped forward to gently comfort her, "Ayaka, I know you're very reluctant to part with her right now,"

"But all good things must come to an end. Parting is for a better reunion, don't you think?"

"Besides, Inazuma and Liyue are not far apart in age, so they can come anytime they want to meet in the future."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ayaka Kamisato nodded: "Brother, you're right."

"Then you and your mother must come to Liyue to see me often!"

Ayaka Kamisato was initially quite down, but she felt much better after her brother's encouragement.

Kamisato Ayato: ???

What do you mean?

Is Ayaka Kamisato not planning to return to Inazuma?

She was sad because she couldn't bear to see her brother and mother leave.

this...

Ayato Kamisato suddenly felt that not only did he not have a place in this house, but his sister had also moved to Liyue.

...

"Mother, why didn't you join me in persuading Ayaka to return to Inazuma?"

On the way back, Ayato Kamisato couldn't help but look up and ask his mother.

In the end, Ayaka Kamisato stayed with Fang Xun, while Ayato Kamisato returned to Inazuma with his mother.

"If you were to speak up, Ayaka would definitely obey, wouldn't she?"

Faced with Ayato's confusion, his mother smiled and replied, "It's clear that Ayato likes her current lifestyle. Let her be."

"As long as she is happy every day, that's enough."

The mother paused for a moment, then continued, "Also, things haven't been peaceful in Inazuma lately."

"The Fools, the Sea Demons, and the Wild Abominations—these forces are like undercurrents surging beneath a calm lake; no one knows what the future holds."

"Letting Ayaka stay in Liyue now is a way for us to protect her."

"To be precise, Fang Xun will take good care of Linghua, and I have always believed that."

Ayato Kamisato fell silent, gazing thoughtfully at the scenery in the sky.

Is Inazuma's peace about to be shattered?

If that's the case, then letting Ayaka Kamisato stay by Fang Xun's side might actually be a good choice.

...

After a period of rest, the author's health has improved, and normal updates will resume starting tomorrow!

Chapter 460 These things only have meaning when done together with you

"Normally at this time, Wendy would be fighting Paimon for Fisherman's Toast,"

"Suddenly, no one's fighting over breakfast anymore, and Paimon is actually feeling a little out of sorts..."

Looking at the lavish breakfast spread on the table, and then at the empty seat that belonged to Wendy...

Paimon let out a sullen sigh.

The traveler Ying, sitting nearby, silently observed everything. She hadn't expected that Wendy's departure would cause the usually gluttonous Paimon to lose his appetite for breakfast.

It turns out that Paimon is also a sentimental person who cherishes the past. I never knew that before.

"It's decided, Paimon will eat more today and help Wendy finish his breakfast too!"

"That means Wendy hasn't left us; he's still with us!"

"That's a brilliant idea!"

Paimon rolled in the air, his eyes brimming with undisguised joy.

For a moment, Ying stood there, stunned.

Only Paimon could describe gluttony so clearly and elegantly.

Feeling down and not in the mood to eat?

It doesn't exist for Paimon.

If Paimon ever gets to eat at a friend's house, he'll probably eat two big bowls of rice even with tears in his eyes.

This is called turning grief and anger into appetite.

"Hey, is it breakfast time now?"

"I'm actually hungry, so let's start eating."

Wendy appeared in the hotel at some point and, without saying a word, picked up a piece of fisherman's toast from the table and took a bite.

"Hey Wendy, didn't you send the Kamisato family to Inazuma? What are you doing here?"

Paimon was startled by Wendy and spoke with a look of surprise on his face.

"Obviously, I dropped them off at their destination and then came back."

Wendy blinked, her tone relaxed.

After he finished speaking, Paimon and Ying exchanged a glance, both looking incredulous.

It would take at least ten days to half a month just to get from Mondstadt to Inazuma.

How could they possibly return overnight?

Wendy must be joking, right?

"Oh, by the way, Paimon, would you like some fisherman's toast?"

At this moment, Wendy's question interrupted their thoughts.

"I don't want it."

Paimon looked at the fisherman's toast that Wendy had taken a big bite out of and shook his head without hesitation.

"OK then."

Wendy reluctantly said so, and then took all the fisherman's toast from in front of Paimon.

Paimon:? ? ?

She just doesn't eat fisherman's toast that Wendy has bitten, she didn't say she wouldn't eat fisherman's toast that's perfectly intact.

Wendy is such a jerk!

Paimon stomped his foot angrily: "I'm so angry, really so angry! I'm going to give you an awful nickname!"

Wendy blinked, looking completely innocent. "But when I asked you just now, you clearly said you weren't going to eat it. Why are you blaming me now?"

"You...I..." Paimon was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Fang Xun and his group were already used to Paimon and Wendy bickering, as similar scenes played out every day.

After breakfast, Fang Xun paid Wendy for the dandelion wine as agreed.

"Thank you for your hard work, Wendy."

"It's not hard work. I'll be in Inazuma after a nap, and in Mondstadt after another nap," Wendy replied with a smile.

It seems Wendy didn't contribute anything at all; it was Dvalin who suffered.

This is truly the behavior of the master, with the family footing the bill.

Fang Xun suddenly understood why Dvalin harbored such resentment towards Wendy; no one could bear such a thing.

Why can't we learn from him and take better care of Taro Maru on a regular basis?

...

After that, Fang Xun and his group immediately embarked on their journey home.

Along the way, Yunhan Society and the Zhongli trio also continued their journey.

As for Xiao the Demon Slayer, he returned to Liyue alone after the Windflower Festival to continue protecting the peace of Liyue Harbor.

"Let's go! Once we get to Liyue, we'll enjoy some local delicacies and participate in the lively Luna Festival!"
