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

She transformed from a clumsy, impulsive man who would draw his sword at the slightest provocation into a mature and elegant beauty.

If you're wielding knives and sticks, that won't look pretty.

...

Guided by the treasure-stealing weasel, Fang Xun successfully found the temporary camp where the Fatui were stationed.

Looking around, there were quite a few members of this Fools' Clique.

Two rock-dwelling guerrillas patrolled the vicinity, instantly alerting them to the slightest rustling of wind or grass.

Fortunately, Fang Xun was careful enough when he arrived and did not reveal his location.

There were also two portly, slow-moving water-ice heavy guards who carried the wooden crates in their arms and then arranged them neatly according to size.

Based on the description provided by Huzhai Palace, these wooden crates are undoubtedly the stolen goods.

The last one is the Fire Debt Settler, who hides in the shadows to oversee the entire operation and ensure its success.

The samurai previously mentioned a masked man, hidden under a cloak, who looked like a demon; he was probably referring to him.

Fang Xun observed the situation and planned to solve the problem in the most time-saving and labor-saving way.

hum!hum!hum!

Just then, a low whistle sounded from the sea, attracting Fang Xun's attention.

A black cargo ship slowly approached from a distance, its sails adorned with ice-related symbols representing the Winter Kingdom.

Once the cargo ship docked, two lightning sorcerers stood on either side of the stairwell.

However, they did not continue forward, but respectfully made way for each other.

Behind the two was a girl with a serene face, wearing a white blindfold.

Her skin was so fair it was almost translucent; bathed in sunlight, she looked like an angel slowly stepping out of a painting.

The girl simply stood there quietly, and she was the most beautiful scenery in the world.

Fang Xun recognized her at a glance; the girl standing there was the third seat of the Fools' Clan's Executive Officers.

Codename: "Girl", real name: Columbia.

Don't let her sweet appearance fool you into thinking she's a weak and helpless girl.

In Prince D'Artagnan's voiceover, it is clearly mentioned that he does not want to fight the "girl," and his words reveal a cautious tone.

This also shows that the girl's strength should not be underestimated; even the usually competitive young master dares not provoke her.

"Executive, Your Excellency!"

"It's just a small matter, why did it bother you?"

When the fools saw Columbia arrive, they all knelt down, their faces filled with fear and awe.

"Don't be nervous, the executive officer just happened to be passing by and was not supervising the scene."

"Please continue your mission, and the Winter Congress will remember your contributions."

Throughout the entire process, the Lei Ying sorcerers were the ones talking; Colombia did not utter a single word.

She only appeared briefly before leaving the desolate sea again.

No one knew why she came to Inazuma.

"I've spotted you."

Just as Fang Xun was making his guesses, a female voice rang in his mind.

The sound was gentle and pleasant, like the sound of a flowing spring or the sound of wind in a valley.

Upon hearing the girl's thoughts, Fang Xun was visibly taken aback.

Is this Columbia having a conversation with his soul?

Fang Xun looked around but did not see Columbia or the two other lightning magicians.

He speculated that Columbia's ability was to communicate telepathically with creatures within a certain range.

"Although I don't know your identity yet, I can sense that you are very powerful."

"To arrive silently at the Fools' camp, and wait for the opportune moment,"

Are you a friend or an enemy?

Then, Columbia's voice rang out again.

“I’m just doing what I think is right, Columbia,” Fang Xun replied.

"You know my name?"

Now it was Columbia's turn to be surprised.

She has never revealed her identity to the public; most people only know that she is an executive officer of the Fools, codenamed "Girl".

The name Columbia seemed like something from a very long time ago to her.

"I've suddenly become very interested in you. What else do you know?"

Fang Xun thought to himself that he didn't know much about Colombia.

All I did was watch miHoYo's PV 'Winter Fools' to get a little information, nothing more.

Fang Xun had only just learned that Columbia possessed the ability to communicate telepathically.

What do you want to know? You can ask, but I may not answer.

Fang Xun responded calmly and unhurriedly, gradually taking the initiative.

When communicating with someone like Columbia, you can easily become very passive if you lose your temper.

After saying this, Columbia remained silent for a long time, clearly not expecting Fang Xun to respond in this way.

"Believe me, even if you don't answer, I have a way to make you answer."

"So, it's better to just cooperate obediently."

Columbia said softly, as if she had done something like this many times before.

Fang Xun seemed to understand why D'Artagnan was unwilling to provoke the young girl.

This girl may appear quiet and gentle on the surface, but she could be quite cunning inside.

"Don't be nervous. I have more important things to do right now. I'll come back to you after I've finished."

After Columbia finished speaking, Fang Xun never heard her thoughts again; she must have already left.

Come find me again?

Fang Xun thought to herself that Columbia was very confident now and wasn't afraid of staying at the kindergarten to take care of the children.

After all, the person who once threatened him with a knife is now happily married and working as a cook.

It's not impossible that they could abduct the gods of Inazuma and turn the Third Executive Officer of the Fools into one of their own.

What was that saying again? As long as you wield the hoe well...

Chapter 478 Fang Xun: I am Wendy, and I will not change my name or surname.

The appearance of the young girl Columbia was just a brief interlude.

Pulling his thoughts back, Fang Xun refocused his attention on the Fools.

To this day, the group of fools continues their busy work, oblivious to anything amiss.

Columbia did not inform the Fools of Fang Xun's uninvited arrival, but chose to turn a blind eye.

Perhaps all her thoughts were focused on the mission, leaving her no time for anything else.

Or perhaps they were curious about Fang Xun's next move and decided to wait and see.

In short, Columbia watched all of this silently as an outsider.

Fang Xun wasn't particularly concerned about Columbia's thoughts.

Right now, what he cares about most is the stolen goods.

"Hurry up, stop dawdling!"

"It takes quite a while to sail from the desolate sea to Haiqi Island. If we don't step up our efforts soon, you'll be sleeping with this wooden crate tonight!"

"Have you brought all the wooden crates up? I'm ready to set sail!"

It was clear that the Fools intended to transport the stolen goods directly to Umi-no-Island.

The fools simply give away what they've stolen, without having to give anything in return, and still reap considerable benefits.

By using a borrowed flower to present to the Buddha, they've finally figured out how to play the game.

Fang Xun remained calm and composed, silently lying in wait.

He waited patiently until all the goods were loaded onto the ship before he came out.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone. Please sit down and rest for a while."

Fang Xun stepped forward, countless blue life-giving threads extending from his hands.

This is Yelan's elemental combat skill, which Fang Xun just drew this morning.

"I've been wanting to rest for a while now, you've really hit the nail on the head... Wait, who are you?"

The heavy guards with water cannons froze for a moment upon seeing the intruders, then desperately shouted, "Hurry! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Stealing! Someone is stealing!"

“Stealing? Can a scholar’s ​​actions be called stealing?” Fang Xun spread his hands and corrected him righteously.

"Besides, I took back my things; that's called returning them to their rightful owner."

As he spoke, he flicked his finger, and countless life threads instantly bound the water gun guards tightly, rendering them unable to move.

"Hey kid, who are you? What are you doing here?"

"You've got some nerve. Do you even know whose territory this is?"

The guerrillas rushed over immediately, raising their weapons and looking extremely wary.
