Bengyuantie: I was honest with Bai Heng

"Haha...what's wrong with that?"

"Yes... I see that this stone statue only has a helmet, and the inside is hollow."

"Then I will imitate the Rock King and give the Ruota Dragon King an eye-opener, and I will also give your two stone guards an eye-opener~"

Gui finally became playful and unconsciously showed his tongue again, and two round jade-like stones flew out from his sleeves.

"Hey, these are the stones we picked up by the stream that day!"

When Bai Heng and Gui Zhong were playing in the mountains, they found these two almost identical round jade stones on the beach at the bend of the stream.

The two thought it was curious, so they took it away.

"Well, that's right!"

Gui Zhong waved his sleeves, and the two pieces of jade were infused with a large amount of elemental power and flew into the helmets of the two stone giants.

laugh--

Two sounds embedded in the rocks rang out at the same time, and dazzling golden light emanated from the eyes of the two stone giants, filled with a sacred breath!

"what……"

The old village chief looked up at the two stone statues in a daze, then slowly knelt down to worship them. The other villagers also knelt down and kowtowed.

……

Yoshihisa

After finally seeing the villagers off, Wang Xing lay down on the kang in his residence to take a rest.

"Ganyu, you can sleep in the same room with your sister Bai Heng."

Wang Xing gave some instructions tiredly and fell into a deep sleep.

After all, I had to walk all the way back from Ao Zang Mountain and deal with the villagers' enthusiasm in celebrating the completion of the new house, which made me physically and mentally exhausted.

"Um……"

Little Ganyu still held Bai Heng's hand somewhat nervously and responded in a low voice.

Afterwards, Bai Heng and Xiao Ganyu entered their bedroom and lay down on the bed.

Ganyu's cheeks flushed slightly, and she curled up in the quilt and whispered.

"Sister Bai Heng, can you... touch my horns while I sleep? I can't sleep."

Seeing such an adorable child, Bai Heng smiled lewdly and hugged her in his arms, rubbing her continuously.

"Ganyu, you are so-so cute!"

"Um... Sister Bai Heng, don't~"

……

The next day

"The food is on the table, eat it early before it gets cold."

While adjusting his collar in front of the mirror, Wang Xing spoke to a pair of people, one big and one small, who had just woken up and walked out of the bedroom in a daze.

"I'm going to build Liyue Harbor these few days. You can go to the village to play and even better, deal with some monsters that attack the village."

"Well...be careful on the road."

Bai Heng and Xiao Ganyu held hands, and they rubbed their eyes sleepily.

"Ah."

Wang Xing responded lightly and went out.

"Xiao Ganyu, let's go to the village and play!"

"There are a lot of kids your age there, you two will definitely have fun together."

……

Wang Xing looked at Liyue Harbor from afar on the cliff south of Guiliyuan. It was not a prosperous place at the moment.

If I have to say, it's probably just a larger fishing village.

It’s just strange that although it is a fishing village, the houses are built very far away from the coastline.

"Economy, politics, culture, education..."

“Urban layout, drainage system, transportation system, supply chain…”

Wang Xing sorted out his thoughts and walked towards Liyue Harbor.

……

Liyue Harbor Market

Wang Xing ordered a boiled fish in a restaurant and sat down to listen to some local people's livelihood.

"My boat was also damaged by the huge waves. Oh... how can I live like this?"

"Hey...did you hear about it?"

"The day before yesterday, the Hu family couple went out to sea to fish. It seems something happened and they haven't come back yet!"

"Ah? What about their child?"

"Damn you, Eight Tribulations!"

……

"Are you from out of town?"

A bearded uncle walked up to Wang Xing and asked.

Wang Xing was wearing a white gown, and he was handsome and elegant, as if he were an immortal.

He stood out from the crowd with these fishermen in coarse linen clothes and naturally attracted their attention.

"I... can be considered an immortal."

Wang Xing stood up and summoned the "Mysterious Lotus of Abundance", and a light blue scent filled the restaurant.

The fishermen inside felt their bodies lighten and their fatigue disappeared.

"Is he really an immortal?!"

They were in disbelief and quickly saluted to show respect.

"Well, tell me about the situation here."

……

After a while

After listening to the fishermen's explanations, Wang Xing had a general understanding of the situation.

At this time, the ocean was still the home of giants and demons. The people of Liyue Harbor lived in fear of the ocean, fighting against it with their meager strength.

The magical beasts called "Eight Qiong" by the people of Liyue have no rivals in the depths of the abyss.

Occasionally, it will float up to shallow water from the bottomless abyss, causing huge waves that destroy houses and boats like a landslide, and the people will suffer terribly!

Wang Xing thought about it and walked to the door of a dilapidated thatched house and pushed open the creaking door.

What surprised Wang Xing was that although the outside of the house looked shabby, the inside was very clean and tidy.

There was a thin little girl in thin tattered clothes, who was cooking for herself.

(At that time, the Stratum Chasm Mine had not yet been fully exploited, and Liyue Harbor mainly relied on fishing for its livelihood. There were also magical beasts wreaking havoc in the sea, which led to such poverty...)

Wang Xing thought as he looked at the thin little girl.

"Huh? Are you a friend of my parents? What brings you to our house?"

She put down the soup spoon, got down from the small stool and asked Wang Xing who broke in.

Wang Xing was a little shocked. He learned from the fishermen that her parents had just passed away, but he didn't feel any sadness from her.

Wang Xing calmed down, squatted down and asked her.

"Are you Hu Ling?"

"Well, that's right."

"Your parents..."

"already dead."

She answered without hesitation.

The little girl pulled Wang Xing to the backyard with her dry hands.

"Look, I've already erected tombstones for them~"

"Forehead……"

Wang Xing didn't know what expression to make. The little girl was so calm that it didn't seem like she was at her age.

Wang Xing had originally thought about how to comfort a child who lost his parents, but it turned out like this.

"Do you also think I'm cold-blooded? They all think so."

She turned her thin face and smiled at Wang Xing.

"Every time my parents went out to sea, they would tell me that they might never come back, but this time it came true."

"They always tell me that we are all going to die, some just die earlier than others."

……

She was still talking to Wang Xing.

(What kind of desperate family would say such things to their children every day?!)

Wang Xing hurriedly held her in his arms and gently stroked her back, feeling the rows of ribs.

"From now on, you will stay by my side."

"Hey, why?"

She blinked, confused.

Wang Xing originally came here to adopt this lonely girl. The surrounding fishermen also had poor living conditions and were alienated from her because of her "cold-bloodedness".

"Brother, I am an immortal. There are many benefits to being with me, such as..."

Wang Xing summoned the "Mysterious Lotus of Abundance" to activate his skill. Three kinds of silk threads, green, gold, and blue, emerged from the lotus magic weapon and merged into the little girl's body.

The little girl's rough skin gradually turned rosy and smooth, and flesh and blood began to grow rapidly inside her shriveled body.

After a while, the skinny little girl looked brand new, even with some baby fat.

The little girl turned around and looked at her body in disbelief.

"how?"

Wang Xing asked with some pride.

"You really are an immortal... Well, I can't resist you anyway."

The little girl spread her hands and showed a helpless expression.

After she finished paying homage to her parents' cenotaph, Wang Xing took her little hand and left.

However, when I left, I saw three plates on the dining table in the room!

Wang Xing looked slightly startled, but quickly suppressed himself.

After a long silence, he murmured in a low voice.

"Then... the first thing I will do when I arrive at Liyue Harbor is to kill these Eight Snakes."

"Hmm? Did you just say something?"

Hu Ling asked, not hearing Wang Xing's mumbling clearly.

"It's okay, let's go."
