Ningguang's mother stood rooted to the spot,
She was already choked with sobs, tears streaming down her face.
To throw herself into danger for a promise, even at the cost of her life?
So foolish.
How could there be such a foolish girl in this world?
Yet, Ningguang's mother couldn't bring herself to say her daughter was wrong,
Because there were indeed many things in this world that were more meaningful than life itself.
Ningguang's mother wiped away her tears and walked against the flow of the crowd.
"Silly girl, Mom will help you look for it."
"You're right, we can't be people who break their promises!"
"Excuse us, everyone, please make way! Thank you for your understanding!"
With her mother's help, little Ningguang finally managed to squeeze through the crowd and knelt on the ground to pick up the Vision.
Seeing that the Vision was stained with some dirt, little Ningguang carefully wiped it clean, and then revealed a relieved smile.
She hadn't lost the Vision.
She hadn't disappointed Brother Fang Xun's expectations.
太好了.
Before Ningguang could breathe a sigh of relief,
the next second she felt an exceptionally dazzling light emanating from above her head,
along with a wave of scorching heat rushing towards her face.
The air she inhaled felt like flames were being forced into her lungs!
Ningguang instinctively looked up,
and saw the Ancient Rock Lizard spitting a fireball from its mouth, which was hurtling towards the crowd!
That fireball was too large,
As a result,
humans seemed insignificant and incredibly tiny in front of it.
It was unstoppable, like a meteor!
Several towering trees were instantly reduced to ashes the moment the fireball touched them.
One didn't dare to imagine what would happen if it landed in the crowd.
Just the terrifyingly high temperature alone could turn the entire village into a living hell!
Beneath that massive fireball, the villagers all wore expressions of despair and helplessness.
They knew,
At this moment, running away was utterly futile.
It was meaningless.
Suddenly, some people slumped to the ground, while others burst into tears.
Hearing the cries around her and feeling the approaching fireball, little Ningguang's mind went blank.
She hadn't had the chance to tell her mother that they wouldn't have to live in the simple wooden house anymore; they could live in a new one.
She hadn't had the chance to become Fang Xun's capable little secretary.
Little Ningguang still had so many things she hadn't done...
Am I going to die now?
The next second, Ningguang suddenly felt someone pull her.
It was her mother, who tightly held her in her arms.
Her mother chose to protect Ningguang with her own body.
Although this might not have any effect, it was the only thing her mother could do at that moment.
"Little Ningguang, don't be afraid, Mom is here,"
"Mom will protect you, don't be scared..."
Ningguang's mother was clearly terrified; it was obvious to see her body trembling slightly.
But at this moment, she was still trying to soothe Ningguang's emotions.
Her mother lowered her head and looked at Ningguang, a silent smile playing on her lips.
She was smiling, but tears were already streaming down her face.
The tears dripped onto Ningguang's face.
More than the unbearable heat, Ningguang felt that this tear was even more scalding.
Ningguang didn't want anything to happen to her mother.
She didn't want anything to happen to the villagers.
Everyone was so, so kind.
One should live well!
Little Ningguang didn't notice,
The Vision she clutched in her hand, once dim, slowly began to glow.
In the center of the Vision, a rock pattern gradually appeared!
On a nearby mountain peak, Cloud Retainer descended from the sky.
She had followed Fang Xun all the way here.
She had originally wanted to see what kind of person Fang Xun was,
Unexpectedly, she witnessed an Ancient Rock Lizard wreaking havoc.
Why was the Ancient Rock Lizard rampaging and destroying everything in the village?
It should be deep underground in Tianqiu Valley right now.
Who exactly was behind this, pulling the strings?
Cloud Retainer didn't have time to ponder,
because a massive fireball was about to slam into the crowd.
If it actually hit...
the consequences were unimaginable.
This village was likely about to be razed to the ground, and everyone's lives would be buried!
Cloud Retainer naturally couldn't just stand by and watch.
As an Adeptus, she had a contract to protect Liyue.
In an instant, the azure light in Cloud Retainer's eyes blazed,
Profound and majestic Adepti symbols slowly appeared behind her,
An invisible barrier was gradually taking shape to defend against the Ancient Rock Lizard's attack.
But the next second, Cloud Retainer paused slightly,
Because Cloud Retainer noticed,
Among the crowd, a fair-skinned young girl's Vision was erupting with dazzling light.
The light surged outwards in all directions like a wave,
driving away the darkness and illuminating the sky!
Looking at Ningguang below, Cloud Retainer couldn't help but murmur softly.
"This is..."
"What a strong desire."
"Even the gods have cast their gaze upon it."
Ningguang didn't know what was happening. She only felt a warmth emanating from the Vision in her hand.
The next second, the Vision emitted a dazzling golden light.
Slowly, a pattern of rock appeared on it.
Following that, Ningguang felt a primal urge in her mind, guiding her to raise her hand.
She complied.
At that moment,
Ningguang held the Vision in one hand,
and gently raised the other.
Aim at that blazing fireball.
The strong wind blew against little Ningguang's long hair and skirt.
The weak little girl seemed as though she might be blown over at any moment,
But her expression was so tenacious,
Even in the face of wind and rain, she had to strive to survive!
Xuanji Screen!
Deploy!
Instantly, a golden wind screen appeared in the sky.
That wind screen was crafted from gold and obsidian, adorned with phoenix patterns.
It hovered in the air, exuding an air of majesty and nobility.
Facing the incoming barrage of fireballs, the Xuanji Screen stood firm, possessing the steadfastness and stability of a boulder.
In the next moment, the Xuanji Screen blazed with light.
The rock pattern at the center of the screen also flickered constantly.
When the Xuanji Screen collided with the fireballs,
there was no deafening sound or explosion.
Quite the opposite, everything was serene.
The Xuanji Screen directly absorbed the entire fireball.
This was a characteristic of the Xuanji Screen,
It could block projectiles launched by enemies.
After absorbing the fireball, the Xuanji Screen seemed to have reached its limit,
And transformed into golden rain, slowly falling from the sky.
