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

However, she has many things beyond her control. As a living, divine priestess, she must always consider the people of Haiji Island.

Seeing that Xin Hai and Coral Palace Chizuru remained silent, Fang Xun pondered for a moment, then stepped forward and spoke.

"Miss Chizuru, you should listen to Shinkai and go back to rest first."

"If you trust me, you can delegate some simple tasks to us."

Chapter 486 Follow along and see

Fang Xun's strength is evident to all; he once saved Coral Palace Chizuru and a group of soldiers from the jaws of a giant python.

If Fang Xun is willing to help, he can indeed relieve a lot of the pressure on Coral Palace Chizuru.

However... Haiqi Island has never been ruled by outsiders.

Sangomiya Chizuru didn't want to set a precedent either.

Let the people of Haizhi Island handle the matter.

Just as she was pondering how to refuse Fang Xun, Fang Xun spoke first, saying, "Haiqi Island is a place of beautiful mountains and clear waters, peaceful and undisturbed by the world, like a paradise on earth."

“I really like this living atmosphere and intend to establish a residence here to live here long-term.”

"I hope that Ms. Chizuru will grant my request."

Fang Xun's desire to build a residence on Haiqi Island could not be kept secret from Coral Palace.

Not only can it not be concealed, but approval from the Coral Palace is also required.

Instead of stammering and being vague, it's better to bring this up openly.

It would be a good thing if the two sides could reach a cooperation agreement during this opportunity.

As soon as she finished speaking, Xin Hai appeared extremely happy. Her big, watery eyes couldn't hide her joy, and her eyebrows curved into a happy smile.

She thought Fang Xun would leave after a few days of sightseeing on Haiqi Island, and that it would be difficult to see him again.

Unexpectedly, Fang Xun intended to settle on Haiqi Island long-term.

Doesn't that mean she can see Fang Xun every day?

Just thinking about it makes me very happy!

Chizuru Sangokami was also quite surprised.

Over the years, she has seen many tourists visit Haegei Island.

However, those tourists only stayed for a few days before leaving.

Unfortunately, although Haiji Island has beautiful scenery, it is severely lacking in resources.

Tourists from other places initially only seek novelty, but later they discover the difficulties of life and then run away with their buckets.

People like Fang Xun who want to settle down are rare. The last person who wanted to settle down on Haiqi Island was Jiang Xue, the fisherman.

Pulling herself back to reality, Sangokami Chizuru began to re-examine Fang Xun's proposal.

If Fang Xun really wants to stay, then he can be considered half a person of Haiqi Island, right?

Since he's from Haizhi Island, it's understandable to ask him to help with the work.

"Fang Xun, if you want to settle down on Haiqi Island, that's fine. On behalf of the people of Haiqi Island, I welcome you to join us."

Sangokami Chizuru paused for a moment, then continued, "Then I'll have to trouble you to help with the work these next few days."

...

After leaving the Coral Palace, Fang Xun and the Thunder Sisters split up.

The Thunder Sisters went to choose a suitable location to build a house, while Fang Xun went to the Mengyun Shrine to help repair the defensive devices.

bang bang bang!

Fang Xun could hear the sound of trees being chopped off from a great distance.

Immediately afterwards, he saw the soldiers holding axes, working hard to cut down trees.

This reminded Fang Xun of a long time ago, when Ningguang Village was destroyed by the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard, and everyone rebuilt the village.

Back then, Xiao Qiqi was the hardest worker. She wielded an axe and performed a cloud-like axe technique, leaving several young men speechless.

Time has passed, and Fang Xun couldn't help but sigh that he had been on the Teyvat continent for so long.

"Mr. Fang Xun, what brings you here?"

"Everyone, put down what you're doing, Mr. Fang Xun is coming!"

As Fang Xun arrived, the soldiers put down their axes and greeted him warmly.

After all, Qian Xun had saved everyone from the giant snake's jaws not long ago, and he would never forget that gratitude.

"Lady Coral Palace is unwell, so I'm here in her place to help everyone repair the defense devices."

Fang Xun got straight to the point, using more formal language in public, referring to Lord Coral Palace.

“Mr. Fang Xun, we can handle these small matters ourselves. How can we trouble you to do them personally?”

“That’s right, Mr. Fang Xun, please sit down and rest. We can fix the device.”

The soldiers kept trying to persuade him, none of them wanting Fang to end up doing hard labor.

In their minds, Fang Xun was a benefactor and a guest who had come from afar, and it was inappropriate for him to do the dirty and tiring work of cutting down trees.

Fang Xun didn't respond to the question, but looked around and asked, "Does repairing the defense system require a lot of wood?"

The leading general nodded: "Yes, we plan to collect the timber first before proceeding to the next step."

Fang Xun thought for a moment, then asked further, "How much wood do you still need?"

"It's far from perfect; it'll probably take another two or three days to cut it down."

Upon hearing this, Fang Xun couldn't help but sigh, "So the demand for timber is huge."

At this moment, he remembered that he had previously won the item "Wang Shurui You" in a lottery, which was a tree-cutting artifact.

This is the perfect way to help these soldiers right now.

"Goro, can you do me a favor?"

Fang Xun turned to Wu Lang beside him and said.

With nothing to do, Goro followed Fang Xun to the Yunmeng Shrine.

Fang Xun initially thought Wu Lang was just there for the fun of it, but he never expected him to be able to help so quickly.

Without even thinking, Wulang nodded: "Brother Fangxun, please speak freely!"

"This device is named Wang Shurui You. I will now activate it, and all you have to do is take it and run around the forest once, is that alright?"

Fang Xun originally intended to hand over the work to Taro Maru.

But considering that Goro was more familiar with the terrain of Haigi Island, this important task also fell on Goro's shoulders.

After all, Goro can run very fast too.

"No problem!" Goro took Wang Shurui's help and ran around the woods in a flurry of activity.

Wherever Goro went, all the big trees fell down with a crash, turning into pieces of timber.

This scene left the soldiers of Haizhi Island dumbfounded and speechless with astonishment.

"What kind of technology is this??"

"Just one simple lap is equivalent to two or three days of our work?"

The people of Haiqi Island were amazed by his extraordinary talent, and when they looked at Fang Xun again, their eyes were filled with respect.

Such divine power is something even Lord Coral Palace doesn't possess.

With Fang Xun's help, the soldiers' workload was greatly reduced; they only needed to carry the timber and stack it together.

Of course, Fang Xun wasn't idle during this process either.

He was scanning each soldier.

First, a large number of relic mechs attacked Haiqi Island, and then an out-of-control giant python attacked the civilians.

Fang Xun certainly didn't believe that no one was behind these events.

We must find out who is hiding behind the scenes, otherwise there will be no peace and stability on Haiqi Island.

Fang Xun then used his mind-reading ability to scan every soldier present.

However, after scanning the area, they found nothing.

These soldiers had no ill intentions; they were all loyal to Haiqi Island.

Just as Fang Xun withdrew his mind-reading ability, a voice rang in his ear.

"Who is this Fang Xun? The device he brought has completely disrupted our plans!"

"No, I have to go back and report this right away!"

Watching a soldier leave mysteriously, Fang Xun wasn't in a hurry to go forward, worried about alerting the enemy.

He touched the treasure-stealing weasel in his pocket and whispered to the little creature, "Follow them and see."

Chapter 487 A Question He Knows Nothing Of

As the saying goes, "You raise a weasel for a thousand days, but only use it for one."

After receiving the mission from Fang Xun, the Great Golden Treasure Weasel immediately jumped out of the pocket and quietly followed behind the soldiers.

In fact, that soldier had a strong sense of counter-surveillance.

Constantly taking detours and looking back is a way to prevent being followed and having one's secrets exposed.

But the soldiers never imagined that what was following them was not a human, but a plump, white treasure-stealing weasel.

Before long, the treasure-stealing weasel returned, chirping at Fang Xun, clearly having made a new discovery.

Fang Xun followed behind the treasure-stealing weasel, and the two of them disappeared silently from the crowd.

Following the treasure-stealing weasel, Fang Xun arrived at Wanglong Village, heading southeast.
