Soon, Qiqi followed Fang Xun and Ningguang out of the mountain forest and headed towards the village.
As they got closer to the village entrance, Qiqi instinctively lowered her head, her hands fidgeting with the hem of her clothes. She looked a little nervous and uneasy.
Because Qiqi was afraid that her appearance would once again cause panic among the villagers.
However, things weren't as bad as Qiqi had imagined. On the contrary, the villagers not only didn't intentionally avoid Qiqi, but also took the initiative to greet her.
Because everyone already knew about Qiqi's sad past,
and that Qiqi wouldn't hurt anyone, being a kind-hearted Zombie,
they all tried their best to make Qiqi feel kindness and warmth.
"Qiqi, welcome to our village!"
"Qiqi, want to play marbles?"
"Qiqi, you're so cute~"
Looking at the hospitable villagers, Qiqi blinked her pink eyes and then softly said: "Everyone... is very kind to Qiqi..."
"Qiqi... likes it here..."
Qiqi felt her eyes moisten.
It was completely different from the sadness and sorrow she had felt before; this time, Qiqi's heart was filled with emotion.
Because the villagers no longer avoided or feared her,
and they had accepted her and were willing to be her friend.
For Qiqi, who was afraid of loneliness and longed to have friends,
this was truly a happy thing.
The little girl was the type who was easily satisfied,
and a little bit of warmth could make her feel happy.
Qiqi felt very happy right now.
At the same time,
some villagers who had done wrong stepped forward.
They scratched their heads and said to Qiqi, embarrassed, "Qiqi, we've heard what the Immortals said about you,"
"We misunderstood you before, and we hope you can forgive us."
"Yes, the Immortals told us that Qiqi is a kind Zombie. We feel very guilty, we shouldn't have hurt Qiqi like that before."
People kept coming forward to apologize to Qiqi.
The innocent and kind Qiqi forgave them all.
"Qiqi... doesn't blame everyone..."
"Qiqi likes it here..."
During this, Qiqi didn't understand what the Immortal meant, but it felt familiar.
She also knew that the villagers' Immortal referred to Fang Xun.
It was Fang Xun who helped the villagers understand Qiqi.
He helped them accept her.
Regarding this,
Qiqi looked up at Fang Xun, and said, word by word, very seriously: "Fang Xun... thank you..."
"Qiqi... wants to repay Fang Xun..."
The little girl was innocent and naive.
She felt that Fang Xun had helped her, so she wanted to repay him.
Looking at the adorable and charming little Qiqi,
Fang Xun couldn't help but laugh, and he rubbed her head while whispering, "Qiqi, I feel your sincerity."
"However, I don't have anything for you to do right now, Qiqi."
"So, let's do it next time."
Qiqi nodded obediently upon hearing this: "Okay..."
"When Fang Xun wants to do something… tell Qiqi…"
"Qiqi… will go and do it…"
Little Qiqi's voice was soft and childish, yet her tone was firm.
However, as soon as Qiqi finished speaking, her complexion visibly worsened, becoming extremely pale.
This was because it was the time of day when the sun was strongest.
Qiqi, as a Zombie, needed to live in a cold and dark environment.
When the sunlight shone on her, it made her feel very uncomfortable.
"Qiqi… not comfortable…"
Fang Xun also noticed Qiqi's unusual state and immediately said, "Qiqi, your constitution is special. You can't be in direct sunlight. You need to rest in a cool place."
As he spoke, Fang Xun turned to Ningguang and said, "Ningguang, take Qiqi to rest under the shade of a large tree. Both of you should rest."
"Little Ningguang, you've been climbing mountains with me today, and you've worked hard too, so you should rest as well."
Ningguang, however, shook her head and said, "Ningguang can take Qiqi to rest, but Ningguang cannot rest."
"Because Ningguang isn't tired, Ningguang can continue working."
Little Ningguang's thoughts were very simple.
As Fang Xun's secretary,
how could she rest when even Fang Xun wasn't?
That would be too irresponsible.
"Ningguang, take Qiqi to rest under the tree first, and then come back to supervise everyone."
"Since Brother Fang Xun has entrusted the task of building the new house to Ningguang, Ningguang doesn't want to disappoint Brother Fang Xun."
Yes,
building a new house.
Now that the village needs to rebuild the houses,
Fang Xun also wants to build a house here at the same time.
After all, for a merchant, buying property is a long-term investment.
Furthermore, considering the long-term perspective,
Fang Xun would eventually travel to Mondstadt, Inazuma, and Sumeru, among other nations.
Naturally, he needed to acquire more properties.
The task of building new houses naturally fell to Ningguang.
The workers would be responsible for the construction, while Ningguang provided relevant advice.
This was also a way to hone Ningguang's abilities.
Fang Xun hadn't initially been in a rush to build new houses.
He hadn't expected little Ningguang to be so enthusiastic.
This made Fang Xun a little touched.
He hadn't doted on the little girl for nothing.
At this moment, Qiqi's weak voice sounded from the side.
"Sun... makes Qiqi uncomfortable,"
"But... Qiqi can endure..."
"Qiqi also wants to help..."
