Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 928: Ningguang and Xianyun cooperate to raise a baby

Early in the morning, sunlight poured into the room through the window. Ningguang slowly opened her eyes, stretched numbly, and sat up from the soft bed.

Her long hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, a little messy, but it made her look more lazy and beautiful.

Ningguang sat in the bathtub like a robot, then walked to the dressing table and began to comb her hair and put on makeup in front of the mirror.

She no longer knew how she had survived the past two months. It all seemed like a dream.

In these two months, she has experienced too many things, including power struggles and human calculations.

And now, except for her three secretaries, everyone else seems to be distancing themselves from her intentionally or unintentionally.

This feeling of being isolated made Ningguang feel a sharp pain in her heart.

The inner demons caused by desire are constantly wearing away Ningguang's heart, and power is constantly devouring her spirit.

She once thought that having more Mora could fill the emptiness in her heart, but now she realized that no amount of wealth could fill the endless abyss of desire.

After finishing her makeup, Ningguang put on the gorgeous cheongsam again, which still outlined her graceful figure.

She sat at her desk, preparing to handle today's business and meetings.

However, just as she was about to open the file, an uninvited guest suddenly broke into her room.

Xianyun, the True Lord of Liuyunjiefeng, appeared in front of Ningguang without any warning, holding a baby.

Looking at the sudden visit of Master Liuyun Jiefeng, Ningguang lost her usual vigilance and the aura of confronting him. She simply greeted him:

"Good morning, Liuyun Immortal Family, what can I do for you? Are you here to take Ningguang's life?"

Xianyun looked at Ningguang, whom he had not seen for a long time, and found that her aura had become so low and she had lost her former charm.

She even wanted someone who was qualified to kill her to kill her... Hey, why did I push her so hard in the first place?

Xianyun kept things short and expressed his needs directly.

"I need your money to buy baby milk powder and diapers."

After hearing this, Ningguang opened her lips slightly and repeated Xianyun's words softly.

"Buy... milk powder... diapers?"

Then, her eyes slowly fell on the baby in Xianyun's arms, and she was a little confused by this sudden request.

I've heard that Liu Yunxian's family likes to pick up abandoned children, but this is the first time I've seen her ask me to help raise a child...

"Wait a minute, Liuyunxian family, the child in your arms..."

Xianyun saw Ningguang noticed the child in her arms and quickly explained, "This is Shao Yun and Ying's daughter."

Ningguang's body shook violently when she heard that, and her pupils slightly dilated due to shock.

Did she hear it right? This angel-like baby is Ying's daughter? Calculate the time.

"What? Shao Yun's daughter? As I recall, Ying, Paimeng, and his daughter were kidnapped by the God of Wind, right?"

Xianyun sighed, a helpless look on his face, and slowly said: "It's a long story. Anyway, someone entrusted Ying's daughter to me. But now the baby is hungry, and I urgently need money to buy baby supplies!"

Seeing that this was Shao Yun's flesh and blood, Ningguang put 100% of her energy into it and called out loudly to her secretary Bai Shi.

"Okay, Baishi, take the immortals to get the money, and I'll give you as much as you want."

After Bai Shi heard Ning Guang's order, he immediately responded, "Yes, Master Ning Guang!"

……

After Xianyun got the money, he first handed Shao Yun's daughter to Ningguang.

Then, she rushed to the "Wanyou Shop" like a gust of wind to buy all kinds of supplies needed for the baby.

Ningguang carefully took the baby, feeling a strong emotion in her heart.

This is Shao Yun's daughter! She looked at the little one in her arms.

That pink little face, tightly closed eyes, and slightly trembling lips, it's worthy of being from Ying's belly, it's so beautiful.

"This is Shao Yun's daughter..." Ningguang muttered to herself, "Then...then I must take care of her personally!"

So, Ningguang personally put the baby on the bed in the room where Shao Yun used to live.

She placed the baby gently on the bed, afraid to wake her.

Then, Ningguang sat quietly beside the bed, staring at the baby intently.

As for those official duties, Ningguang felt that they were no longer important at the moment.

Compared to taking care of the daughter who was the source of her own power, those things could be put aside for the time being.

However, the baby was restless and soon started crying because she was hungry.

“Wu ...!!!”

Ningguang quickly picked up the baby, rocked her gently, and hummed a lullaby to comfort her.

After a while, Xianyun finally came back with a large bag of baby supplies in her hands.

Seeing the baby crying, Xianyun quickly took out the bottle and milk powder from the bag, made the milk powder, and handed it to Ningguang.

Ningguang took the bottle and carefully brought the nipple to the baby's mouth.

The little baby "Xi" smelled the fragrance of milk, immediately opened his little mouth and began to suck greedily.

After a while, she finished the bottle of milk, burped with the help of Xianyun, and then lay quietly on the bed, curiously observing everything around her with her crystal blue eyes.

Ningguang looked at the adorable baby lying on the bed, and all the fatigue and stress from the past two months disappeared at that moment.

Her heart was healed by the innocence and cuteness of this little life, and a feeling of happiness welled up in her heart.

Ningguang finally understood at this moment, thinking back to her past self, she realized how ridiculous she was!

She tried to seduce Shao Yun with her sex appeal and even tried to restrain him with her child and tie him to her boat.

"Is this Shao Yun's daughter? She's so cute..." Ningguang said softly, with a hint of tenderness on her face.

She slowly extended her fingers in front of the baby and gently shook them, teasing the child.

Xianyun, who was standing by, watched this scene quietly, and suddenly asked without warning, "What are you thinking about when you look at Shao Yun's daughter?"

Ningguang of course understood the deeper meaning of Xianyun's words, which was simply referring to her shameless behavior back then.

She tried to use her lowly body and the bond of blood to tie Shao Yun firmly to her boat.

However, Ningguang did not evade the question this time, but answered frankly:

"Liu Yunxian Family, I know that I am a lowly woman who will do anything for power and even sacrifice my dignity."

After saying this, she slowly withdrew her hand from teasing the child.

Then she changed the subject and said, "But now we should put aside our grudges and discuss the matter of this baby together."

Xianyun narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Ningguang said straight to the point: "Xianjia, Ningguang is also welcome. I think I am more suitable than you to take care of Mr. Shao Yun's flesh and blood."

When Xianyun heard that Ningguang wanted to raise a child, he subconsciously thought of what happened when he was fighting against Ningguang.

Ningguang, you wouldn't just forget about the fight and eat, thinking this is a fight to win over Shao Yun, right?

"Ningguang, there's no need to argue about this kind of thing."

Ningguang did not want to provoke a fight with the immortals again. Ever since Zhongli sealed himself, almost the entire Liyue was under her control.

She acted this way simply to express her loyalty to the source of her power.

"Liu Yunxian's family can't even afford milk powder and diapers for babies. Don't you think it's ridiculous for you to take care of this baby?"

"This is Shao Yun's daughter. Taking care of a baby is ten thousand times more difficult than taking care of a pregnant woman!"

Having said this, Ningguang's gaze fell on the cute baby on the bed again. Her eyes softened and she continued:

"Besides, this is also my job..."

Xianyun wants to take care of the child, but he actually has his own selfish motives.

Shen He now relies on this little baby for spiritual comfort. If Ningguang takes the child away, what should Shen He do?

What if, after not seeing Xi for a long time, Shen He can no longer suppress his evil spirit? That would be a waste of all the previous efforts!

"I have raised many children before, so you don't need to worry about this. As for Mora's problem, I will naturally find a way to solve it."

Xianyun responded that although she was sure she could take good care of the baby, she felt a little uneasy.

Ningguang smiled slightly, and then confided her true thoughts to Xianyun.

"Ningguang's original intention was definitely not to compete with the Liuyun Immortal Family."

"It's just that this matter concerns Mr. Shao Yun's flesh and blood. Now that I know about it, I absolutely cannot sit idly by. This is a manifestation of my loyalty to the source of my power."

"The Immortals also know that Ningguang has brought all of this upon herself. The reason Ningguang is able to survive and continue to sit on the Tianquan Star is because of Shao Yun! Without him, Ningguang would have died two months ago!"

Xianyun looked at Ningguang as she expressed her inner thoughts, and didn't know what tone to use to respond to her.

"Condensing light..."

Ningguang began to reflect on herself and admitted her mistakes to Xianyun: "Ningguang was dominated by desire and did stupid things. I did a lot of things that violated human ethics!"

"But now, I have nightmares every night... I know that a lot of problems have arisen because of my insistence on doing things my own way."

Having said this, Ningguang knelt in front of Xianyun, tightly grasped Xianyun's arm, and said sincerely:

"I need to make amends to Mr. Shao Yun for my mistake, Immortal, please give me this opportunity!"

Xianyun saw that Ningguang was suffering a lot during this period and felt sorry for her.

And, strictly speaking, all of this has its own share of responsibilities.

"In fact, I have done some things wrong. There are indeed differences in the perspectives of humans and immortals when looking at things..."

"I did act too hastily on some matters... I am deeply sorry for that."

Ningguang didn't respond to Xianyun's apology, but just asked, "So, what about this baby?"

Xianyun took a step back and asked Ningguang to think about her official duties on Tianquan Star. She certainly couldn't abandon her nature and become a nanny!

Liyue can’t function without Ningguang now!

This is the side effect of centralization. Ningguang has to handle everything herself...

"How about this, let's work together and find a way to solve this problem."

Ningguang was filled with gratitude. She nodded repeatedly, indicating that she was willing to follow Xianyun's arrangements.

"Okay, Immortal..."

Ningguang and Xianyun reached a basic consensus. Ningguang provided the money, Xianyun provided the labor, and they, one an immortal, took care of Shao Yun's daughter together.
