Genshin Impact: The Vision of Gods Shines Again

"Thank you, sister."

The boy's words made Ningguang slow down her head-shaking motion, and she looked at the boy seriously once again.

She realized that the boy's eyes weren't on the meat bun; they were always on her.

"elder sister?"

Ningguang had heard this title before; Xiaoyunduo had often told her about her older sister.

She said: "My sister protects me like a mother, she's always so warm and caring, just like my mother, she's the best family member!"

Oh right, Ningguang remembers now.

They call their own family members, not their own people.

—But the boy in front of me should be able to understand, right...?

"What's your name?"

"My name is Mu Xian..."

"Mu Xian...what a strange name. You...must have other family members, right..."

"No...that's not my home."

"Like This..."

For some reason, even though the boy in front of her was saying sad things, Ningguang felt a huge weight lift from her shoulders.

"From now on, we're family..."

"There are no parents, only an older sister and a younger brother."

"So...you have to call me 'sister' one more time."

Chapter 189 Family 3 (Ningguang's Side Story)

Later, everyone knew that the barefoot little girl pulling the cart in Liyue Harbor had a boy next to her.

Although the boy was younger than her, he was much, much stronger than Ningguang.

Even when pulling a cart full of goods to Mingyun Town, it doesn't always need to stop and rest like Ningguang does.

With this younger brother, Ningguang discovered that she could always make a few more trips a day and earn a few more Mora.

Just as Ningguang said, the two of them gradually became family.

Every morning, the two of them would pull their cart out of the alley.

They pulled a cart to buy some things that the miners in Mingyun Town needed.

Then they took these things to Mingyun Town to sell.

Sometimes you'll encounter kids who try to steal your goods.

Then, Mu Xian would always use a wooden stick to drive them away.

My younger brother said he knows swordsmanship, and... he's very good at it.

Ningguang had no idea what swordsmanship was.

However, Ningguang noticed the proud gleam in his eyes when he spoke of swordsmanship.

Even Ningguang felt that her younger brother was amazing...

After delivering the goods to Mingyun Town, the two of them would pull the empty cart back to Liyue Harbor to pick up more goods.

Every day is the same, just like before.

But gradually, Ningguang felt that things were completely different from before.

If before, Ningguang was only happy when she actually received Mora, as she was always trying to earn more and more Mora.

But Ningguang is happy right now.

Moreover, this joy is like having one's own thoughts.

The closer I get to my younger brother, the happier I become.

Especially after finishing the last trip of the day, when the surroundings are bathed in golden sunlight as the sun is about to set...

This was Ningguang's happiest moment.

When she's happy, Ningguang always does some capricious things.

Or she would secretly climb onto the car, prop her chin on her hand, and watch her younger brother's retreating figure...

Or you can ride entirely on Mu Xian's back...

Then... she told Mu Xian everything about herself.

For example, the beautiful clothes that adults wear at night.

For example, the kind-hearted old woman from the past.

For example, the little cloud from before...

She knew that Mu Xian must be looking unhappy at this moment.

But whenever I make funny faces to amuse my younger brother, he always smiles just like me.

Perhaps this is what Little Cloud meant by... this is family.

Even without a single house...

Even if you don't have a single nice piece of clothing...

Even if the two of them only have one car...

But the two of them will stay together in the end, and if they don't have a house, they'll sleep together in a small alley.

If we're cold, we'll cuddle together and sleep.

Oh, and that little car too, it also belongs to the family...

—Right...

—Mu Xian...younger brother...

That period was the happiest time for Ningguang.

Even though she was hungry and cold, Ningguang felt what family meant.

She seemed to understand why children call for their parents when they cry.

Why do they not even care about food to fill their stomachs when they're shouting?

Every time Ningguang felt grateful, she was glad she had given Mu Xian that steamed bun.

If her younger brother suddenly disappeared one day, Ningguang thinks she would cry too...

Time flew by, and Ningguang's 100 Mora quickly turned into 1,000 Mora.

On this very day, Liyue Harbor became much more crowded, with passersby discussing the Summoning Ceremony.

The two, who had just pulled the car out of the quiet alley, saw the bustling Liyue Harbor.

In the past, Liyue Harbor and Ningguang had absolutely no connection.

But looking at the bustling streets, Ningguang suddenly had the thought of "wanting to rest for a day and play happily with her younger brother for a whole day".

The idea was quickly put into practice. The two excitedly hid the car in a very secluded corner and then squeezed into the crowd.

The two were dressed in clean clothes; this was Ningguang's first time squeezing into such a crowded street.

Unsurprisingly, Ningguang and Muxian got separated.

This was the first time Ningguang had been so far away from Muxian since they met.

Ningguang, who had gotten separated from Mu Xian, frantically tried to find Mu Xian in the crowd.

She was truly afraid that Mu Xian would just disappear right before her eyes.

As Ningguang walked, she noticed that the crowd was getting more and more crowded.

But because of her concern for Mu Xian, Ning Guang squeezed her way into the crowd.

The loss of support caused Ningguang to fall to the ground, and she felt that the surroundings had become much quieter.

Somewhat confused, Ningguang looked up and saw a colossal golden dragon.

The dragon's deep eyes shone like amber.

Just as the Thousand Rock Army was about to drive Ningguang away with their guns, the giant dragon stopped them and walked up to Ningguang.

The enormous dragon's body gradually shrank, and its golden scales, which were constantly emitting a faint light, gradually disappeared.

The tall figure was dressed in beautiful clothes that Ningguang had never seen before.

It's just gold and white, but Ningguang looks better than a mix of many colors.

The man in nice clothes reached out to help Ningguang up, but Ningguang timidly dodged the outstretched hand.

Such beautiful clothes... Ningguang knew she absolutely couldn't get them dirty...

Otherwise, it wouldn't be as simple as just getting a beating.

Ningguang saw the outstretched hand quickly retract.

Before Ningguang could even breathe a sigh of relief, she felt as if some kind of power had emerged within her body.

This force helped Ningguang stand up, allowing her to straighten her body and look at the man in front of her for the first time.

The man's eyes remained as deep as ever, but Ningguang sensed something in them.

She often saw those eyes in the eyes of the miners in Mingyun Town as they looked at the goods.

That seems to be... satisfactory.

"Liyue is a nation of diligence...wealth should be created through diligence."

"The hierarchy of wealth is meaningless to me; I see something in you."

“These things are worth you standing here and looking me in the eye.”

"At the Immortal Invocation Ceremony, you were the first person to catch my eye this year..."
