"Huh? Did Brother Fang Xun buy a new house??"
Upon hearing Fang Xun's words, little Ningguang showed a surprised expression.
It seemed Brother Fang Xun hadn't been in Liyue for many days.
Yet, he'd already bought a house so quickly!
Besides her surprise, little Ningguang also secretly clenched her small fists to encourage herself.
She needed to work even harder!
Strive to get a new house soon!
Because only then,
She and her mother could avoid living in a dilapidated, simple wooden shack.
However, the motivation didn't last long, as Ningguang became somewhat disheartened again.
They say that ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel.
In a place like Liyue Harbor, where every inch of land is precious,
even buying a cheap house wasn't affordable.
Ningguang didn't know when she would finally save enough money to buy a house...
Thinking of this, little Ningguang unconsciously let out a sorrowful sigh.
While her peers were still growing up carefree and happily,
She was already suffocating under the weight of life.
Even not waking up frozen in the middle of the night was a luxury for her.
Fang Xun saw the little girl's dejected expression.
Although little Ningguang didn't say anything,
her big eyes stared straight at the new house, revealing a look of longing, which was enough to explain everything.
"Let's go, let's see if you like your new home," Fang Xun said softly, ruffling the little girl's head.
Ningguang was stunned for a moment, then looked at Fang Xun incredulously: "New, new home?"
"Is this Ningguang's new home?"
The little girl suspected she'd misheard,
after all, this was something she wouldn't even dare dream of.
However, Fang Xun had already placed the house keys in her hands.
"Little girl, you heard correctly. From now on, this is your new home."
Fang Xun squatted down, speaking earnestly to Ningguang.
"As my secretary, you will naturally have many things to do in the future."
"But if your residence is too far away, it will affect many of my plans."
"And if you live in the city, it will be convenient for me to find you."
Fang Xun paused, then continued, "And, you've always wanted a big house, right? Somewhere we could bring your mother to live with us?"
"Well, your wish has come true."
"Bring your mother here too. Her illness might improve faster."
"At the very least, you won't be hungry or cold here, will you?"
Fang Xun listed all the advantages of living there for Ningguang.
Little Ningguang didn't say anything,
just let the tears stream down her face,
Although Fang Xun said that living there was a better job for her,
Yet, deep down, she knew exactly what was going on.
The reason Fang Xun said that was simply to give her a reason to move in.
He wanted to help her improve her family's circumstances.
And Ningguang couldn't refuse Fang Xun's kindness.
Her mother's illness was indeed severe.
Although she was taking medication on schedule,
the current living environment was simply too poor, significantly impacting her mother's recovery.
If they could move to a different environment, it would indeed be much better.

And Fang Xun had considered all of this for Ningguang.
It was precisely because of this that little Ningguang was crying like a fountain.
Ningguang saw and remembered everything Fang Xun had done.
No one had ever been as gentle to her as Fang Xun.
Fang Xun, you're the best!
"Fang Xun, thank you, thank you," the little girl choked out, repeatedly thanking Fang Xun.
Looking at her delicate and pitiful appearance, Fang Xun couldn't help but tease, "Silly girl, I'm a wicked capitalist,"
"Letting you live here is also so you can work better for me,"
"Why are you still thanking me like an idiot?"
This made Ningguang laugh, too.
She wiped away her tears and then said earnestly, "Big brother Fang Xun, consider this house as me borrowing money from you to buy it."
"Don't worry, when I have money, I will definitely pay you back."
"If I really don't have any money, then I'll stay by your side and be your little secretary for the rest of my life, okay?"
The little girl was crying like a rain-covered pear blossom, but her tone was unusually firm.
Big brother Fang Xun was willing to let her and her mother live in the house,
so they wouldn't have to endure the wind and rain.
Little Ningguang was already very grateful for this.
How could she accept Fang Xun-gege's room for free?
She could never take things without giving something in return,
That was the little girl's bottom line!
Fang Xun didn't insist, allowing Ningguang to do as she wished.
He gently pinched Ningguang's smooth cheek, then said affectionately, "You go look at the house first, and later I'll go with you to pick up your mother."
Little Ningguang nodded obediently, her beautiful eyes gazing quietly at Fang Xun's profile.
Actually, there was one thing she hadn't said,
Even if she really saved enough money in the future, she wanted to stay by Fang Xun's side forever.
Even if she could only be a small secretary.
"Ding! Detecting Ningguang's favorability has increased from Level 3 to Level 4. Congratulations, Host, you have received an Intertwined Fate, and have additionally obtained a 'Sanctifying Charm'!"
At this moment,
The system's voice rang in Fang Xun's mind.
He was quite lucky this time, even getting extra rewards.
It was another kind of paper charm, probably something with a similar function to the Enhancement Charm from before.
[Sanctifying Charm: Using this charm will allow you to randomly change a Sacred Relic's sub-stat, and also increase the sub-stat's attributes yourself.]
Looking at the Sanctifying Charm, Fang Xun instinctively raised an eyebrow.
Wow, this is even better than the Enhancement Charm.
It's a bit like using three Sacred Relics to sanctify one on the synthesis table.
Except this Sanctifying Charm doesn't require so many Sacred Relics.
And it lets you choose the sub-stat attributes.
Overall, it's much better than the Enhancement Charm.
Fang Xun immediately pulled out his feather, which was completely skewed towards HP, and then used the Sanctifying Charm.
He naturally didn't want any HP or DEF.
Fang Xun quickly selected four sub-stats:
Crit Rate, Crit DMG, Elemental Mastery, and... the big rooster.
After selecting the stats, Fang Xun could also enhance the attributes of the sub-stats himself.
The effect here was exactly the same as the Enhancement Charm.
When it came to enhancing the attributes of Sacred Relic sub-stats,
it was all about balanced development, without being too extreme.
So, it was best to develop them in a balanced way.
Soon, Fang Xun finished enhancing the attributes of this Death's Feather.
Critical Hit Rate +18.5%
Critical Hit Damage +21.2%
Attack +3.2%
Elemental Mastery +19
Hmm,
It's barely usable.
Just average, I guess.
