Chapter 13 - The Treasure Hoarders Seem to Be Brewing Something

Wow.

As expected of the Liyue "car king," getting right to the point again, eh?

Fang Xun just wanted to say,

Keep it up!

Fang Xun touched his nose and said in all seriousness, "Yu Jin, I think you misunderstood. This money is for Ying'er."

"Ying'er is still young, so you should nourish her body,"

"Maybe twenty years from now, we'll be family. I might even have to call you mother-in-law, don't you think?"

Yu Jin was stunned at first upon hearing this, but then immediately understood what Fang Xun meant.

Her pretty face flushed with anger.

"You big jerk!!"

"I treat you like a younger brother,"

"And you want to be my son-in-law???"

Seeing Yu Jin's resentful expression, Fang Xun felt a surge of satisfaction.

He felt like he'd finally gotten one over on Yu Jin.

Just then, the system's voice rang out in Fang Xun's mind.

"The talent 'A Thousand Gold Coins Spent, Returned' has been triggered,"

"The 250,000 Mora spent by the host has been fully refunded and has also triggered an eight-fold critical hit, for a total of 2,000,000 Mora!"

As the system's voice faded,

Fang Xun saw the amount of Mora in his backpack steadily increasing.

Not only had he not spent a single Mora on this trip,

but he had actually earned two million.

He had to admit, this talent was truly amazing.

The more he spent, the more money he got!

Of course,

this is inextricably linked to Ningguang, who is like a little mascot.

Fang Xun realized that

every time he spent money on Ningguang, this talent would be triggered.

Based on this, Fang Xun needed to continue spending money on Ningguang.

It could both increase Ningguang's favorability and obtain intertwined fates, and also earn money.

Wouldn't that be a great deal?

He collected his thoughts, lowered his head to look at Ningguang, and then softly said, "Little Ningguang, let's go shopping."

"From now on, everything will go according to your itinerary."

Little Ningguang nodded obediently, then said earnestly, "Fang Xun, don't worry!"

"I'll definitely do a good job as a tour guide!"

Little Ningguang clenched her small, pink fists, looking full of fighting spirit.

Fang Xun had done so much for her.

Ningguang had seen it all, remembered it all.

Now, she finally had a chance to repay Fang Xun, and she would naturally do her best.

Yu Jin leaned against the shop door, watching the two of them walk away. A faint smile played on her lips.

Speaking of which, this outlander named Fang Xun is really interesting.

He's only been in Liyue for a few days, and he already has a little secretary following him around?

Yu Jin has always had a strange feeling about Fang Xun.

Her intuition told her that Fang Xun's arrival would bring about different changes to this ancient city.

Seeing that the tailor shop was free and there were no customers,

Yu Jin decided to close up shop and go take a look at the inn.

The Treasure Hoarders have been too active recently, causing a city-wide lockdown in Liyue.

The inn business wasn't doing well either.

Now that the Treasure Hoarders had left, Yu Jin planned to run a few days of discounted promotions for the inn.

Just as she was about to close up shop, a dense, heavy sound of footsteps echoed from not far away.

Yu Jin looked up and saw the Millileth. They were holding spears and wearing full armor.

The Millileth were quickly approaching, and then announced to the crowd,

"We have received news that the Treasure Hoarders have not left Liyue and are lurking nearby."

"Their motives are unclear, but we suspect that the Treasure Hoarders are likely planning to target the wealthy people in Liyue Harbor."

"So, everyone, please try not to leave the city during this time and protect yourselves! The gates of Liyue will also be closed shortly."

Hearing that the threat from the Treasure Hoarders hadn't been resolved,

the crowd immediately became anxious, their previous carefree demeanor vanishing.

The words "Treasure Hoarders" were a symbol of extreme danger to ordinary people!

Perhaps the Treasure Hoarders seen by players

were just some insignificant thugs easily defeated by the protagonist,

but in reality,

that wasn't how the Treasure Hoarders were in Teyvat!

Those people lived a life of constant peril; how could they be pushovers?

That group of people was extremely vicious and brutal; saying they killed without blinking an eye wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Previously, a member of the Treasure Hoarders,

just because of a dispute over whether a melon was ripe, directly injured the shopkeeper, using extremely cruel methods.

It could be said that the Treasure Hoarders were the residents' nightmare.

No one wanted to encounter the Treasure Hoarders.

Meeting the Treasure Hoarders meant facing a grim fate.

Hearing that the Treasure Hoarders hadn't left and were still causing trouble nearby,

everyone was naturally worried and uneasy.

Seeing the crowd so panicked, the Millileth immediately stepped in to reassure them.

"Everyone, there's no need to worry. Just stay home during this time and don't leave the city."

"The Millileth will apprehend those Treasure Hoarders as soon as possible, ensuring everyone's safety!"

"Please trust the Millileth's strength, trust the protection of the Liyue Qixing, and trust the protection of the Geo Archon!"

Someone in the crowd prayed, "May the Geo Archon protect us and resolve this problem with those troublemakers quickly."

"Trust the Millileth, trust the Geo Archon!"

While everyone was discussing, Yu Jin's expression was a little grim.

The Treasure Hoarders causing trouble and impacting business was one reason…

And the more important reason was that Yu Jin had just seemed to hear Fang Xun and Ningguang discussing leaving the city.

Those two were going to Wangshu Inn to see the scenery!

In other words, they were very likely to encounter the Treasure Hoarders?!

Thinking of this, Yu Jin couldn't worry about anything else and immediately stepped forward, saying to the Millileth, "It's not good! Ningguang and a foreigner named Fang Xun just left the city!"

"I wonder if they'll run into any trouble?"

Upon hearing this, the Millileth's expressions immediately changed.

Two people had just left the city before they announced the city closure?

An important duty of the Millileth was to protect the safety of the people.

It was naturally impossible to let Ningguang and Fang Xun, who had left the city, be in danger right now.

The Millileth's leading general had a grave expression as he said, "Send two people to inform Lady Ganyu of this. We may need Lady Ganyu's help."

"The rest of you, follow me to search for those two civilians outside the city."

"If the Treasure Hoarders find them first, we'll be in trouble!"

After the general finished speaking, he hurried to lead the team toward the direction outside the city.

"Let's hope those two haven't gone too far, and that we can catch up."
