Genshin Impact: The Vision of Gods Shines Again

"Like water, water always accumulates where it is blocked."

"The glow comes from the souls of those who have died but have not yet been reincarnated in Teyvat."

"Isn't it beautiful?"

"Of course it looks great."

Muttering to herself, Ningguang took out a wooden sword without a tip.

"After all, among those souls is Mu Xian's soul."

Before I knew it, Ye Lan had already walked over.

She looked at Ningguang, whose expression was almost obsessive, and wasn't sure if this was really the right thing to do.

—After all, if that's the case...

—This has disturbed the peace of countless dead.

In Ye Lan's memory, Mu Xian would absolutely not want Ning Guang to do something like that...

-but...

Her hesitant eyes hardened again as Ye Lan looked at her hands.

—So many mistakes I made...

—What's wrong with making a few more mistakes for Mu Xian's sake?

Chapter 187 Family (Ningguang's Side Story)

There is a very, very kind and benevolent person in Liyue Harbor.

It was a small breakfast stall, and the kind-hearted person at the stall was an old woman.

Every time the store opens, the old lady always gives a few hot steamed buns to the children who have been staying there for a long time.

The homeless children never knew what Mora was.

They felt that the most precious thing was a steamed bun that could fill their stomachs.

If the steamed bun is warm, it's worth keeping it tightly in your shirt pocket close to your chest.

Homeless children wouldn't fight over steamed buns in front of a great philanthropist.

After this incident, the old woman was so angry that she didn't give out steamed buns for several days in a row.

So, they always fought over ownership of the steamed buns in a corner where the old woman couldn't see them.

Every time, towards the end, the big, round steamed buns would be torn into several pieces and then swallowed haphazardly.

Even a fragment of a steamed bun has never been managed by Ningguang.

The other children were stronger than Ningguang, and they had at least a few days of good food before being abandoned by their parents.

But Ningguang has lived alone on the streets ever since she can remember.

She didn't know what those children were calling for as they cried...

However, she knew that whenever they called for their parents, that was the easiest time to snatch the food from their hands.

And because they're so busy crying, they won't chase after us at all.

Well... I'm really grateful to their parents.

Ningguang was also glad that she didn't have parents, because that way her food wouldn't be easily taken away.

...

Ningguang felt that she was smarter than the other children.

She knew that sometimes people would throw away dead fish at the dock.

The fish smelled a bit rotten and tasted very bad when raw.

But if you roast it over a fire, it can fill you up even more than a steamed bun.

And outside Liyue Harbor...

If you can't find anything to eat in Liyue Harbor, you can find plates with pieces of meat at the entrance of Liyue.

Although there are often fierce people and vicious four-legged dogs there.

But the meat on the plate was really delicious, so delicious that even if I was in pain for a whole day, it wouldn't matter.

Of course, Ningguang's favorite thing is not filling her stomach.

It was at night in Liyue Harbor, and I was secretly watching the adults coming and going outside from a secluded alleyway where no one could see me.

But be careful when you're watching. If the Thousand Rock Army and the adults find out, you'll be driven away, and you might even get whipped.

But... the clothes the adults are wearing are really nice.

The kind-hearted old woman who sells breakfast stalls told Ningguang.

Once I grow up and become an adult, I'll definitely have these clothes...

really?

Ningguang was unaware of this, because the old woman did not appear at the breakfast stall the next day.

Ningguang and the other children searched for a long time.

Finally, I learned something from a person dressed in black.

The old woman died...

Die...

Ningguang was no stranger to the other children, because they knew that people would die if they didn't eat.

Then it will rot and stink when it dies, and slowly become ugly, covered with lots and lots of bugs.

Ningguang remembered that the little cloud that used to accompany her looked just like this.

When I first met Xiaoyunduo, she was as clean and pure as a cloud in the sky.

She's so beautiful... so Ningguang always saves some of the food she gets for Little Cloud.

However, for a period of time, Ningguang was unable to find food.

Hungry Ningguang saw the little cloud slowly close its eyes and then quietly fall asleep in the alley.

No matter how Ningguang called out, she couldn't wake up Little Cloud.

Even after Ningguang brought back a piece of meat from the entrance of Liyue, Little Cloud still didn't get up.

Then...

Ningguang watched as Xiaoyunduo's whole body slowly became smelly, her white face turned yellow, and finally turned black.

Little Cloud slowly stopped resembling Little Cloud; while asleep, she looked like a dead fish that had been rotting for a long time.

Then, many insects appeared around Little Cloud's body.

No matter how hard Ningguang tried to swat the bugs and drive them away from Little Cloud, Little Cloud never woke up.

Until... a group of adults covered their noses and carried Little Cloud away in front of Ningguang.

It was only then that Ningguang learned about it from those adults.

Little Cloud... is dead.

but...

How could the old woman have died when she had so many steamed buns?

Ningguang and the other children didn't know this, but they did know that after the old woman died, there would be no more steamed buns for breakfast.

After that, the children stole the dead fish that Ningguang had worked so hard to get, and the pieces of meat that Ningguang had bled so much to obtain.

Therefore, Ningguang knew she needed to find something else to fill her stomach.

She left Liyue Harbor and found many people picking things off the trees and eating them.

Ningguang quickly realized that it was something that could fill her stomach.

An excited Ningguang plucked all those things off and then took a bite.

It had a very comforting taste, like drinking lots and lots of soothing water, even better than roasted meat.

However, Ningguang won't bring them back to Liyue Harbor, otherwise they'll steal them again.

So Ningguang walked outside for a very long time before finally meeting an adult.

"Little girl, there are so many sunset fruits, can I have one?"

This was the first time anyone had spoken to Ningguang, and Ningguang looked up at the adult with some fear.

However, the adult smiled at Ningguang.

A huge, huge smile.

"Please have pity on me. I've been mining for so long, I need to eat something to quench my thirst."

"Or, I'll give you some Mora as a way of buying the Sunset Fruit you have."

Before Ningguang could answer, the adult placed two or three golden objects in her hand.

That wasn't the first time Ningguang had seen this golden thing.

People who wear nice clothes always manage to exchange them for lots of delicious food and lots of nice clothes...

However, this was the first time Ningguang had ever owned this thing, and the first time she had ever heard its name.

"Is it called...Mora?"

That day, Ningguang returned to Liyue Harbor.

Holding Mora, she stepped onto the streets of Liyue for the first time.

For the first time, I traded Mora for a hot steamed bun.

Steamed buns... are really delicious...

...
