The rest of the Little Ones, worried that Ningguang might encounter some danger, also hurried out of the house.
But soon, they realized their worries were a bit excessive,
because Taroumaru carried Ningguang, nimbly weaving through the mountain forest as if on flat ground.
In just the blink of an eye, Ningguang and Taroumaru had already arrived at the place where the wild glaze lily bloomed.
That glaze lily bloomed in a very high crevice, making it difficult for Ningguang to touch even when she stood on her tiptoes.
She could only watch, anxiously.
At this moment, Taroumaru, who was waiting beside her, silently lay down, using his body as a step for Ningguang.
Ningguang thanked Taroumaru, and with Taroumaru's help, she successfully picked the wild glaze lily.
Looking at the flawless, quietly blooming wild glaze lily in her palm, Ningguang revealed a relieved smile.
As long as she picked this flower, then everything was worth it.
It was also at this moment that Taroumaru barked twice towards Sanka.
Ningguang looked in the direction Taroumaru was looking and saw that Makoto had returned.
"Taroumaru, let's go back."
"Don't make Makoto worry."
Ningguang rode on Taroumaru's back, her hands tightly wrapped around Taroumaru's neck.
During this process, Ningguang protected the picked wild glaze lily very well,
the kind where she would rather be injured herself than have the glaze lily damaged.
...
On the way home, Makoto had already seen the Little Ones standing at the door.
Unlike usual, Ningguang and Taroumaru were missing.
After some inquiry, Makoto learned that Ningguang and Taroumaru had gone up the mountain to pick flowers.
Makoto surveyed the steep, muddy mountain path and couldn't help but frown slightly.
Such a difficult mountain path, even herb gatherers who specialized in traversing mountains would take a detour, fearing danger.
Ningguang was too reckless.
Without time to think, Makoto prepared to set off to find Ningguang, leaving Ganyu to take care of the other Little Ones.
It was also at this moment that Ningguang's voice came from the mountain forest.
"Makoto, Taroumaru and I are back."
Makoto looked in the direction of the voice; he saw Taroumaru dashing like a fierce tiger descending a mountain, while Ningguang rode steadily on him.
"Makoto, look, this is a wild glaze lily! Taroumaru and I worked together to pick it."
Ningguang came before Makoto, eager to share her joy.
When the glaze lily appeared, all the Little Ones gasped in admiration,
because this flower was truly too beautiful, flawless, noble, and elegant, emitting faint wisps of fragrance.
Even Ganyu's attention was drawn to this glaze lily,
because he had also seen many glaze lily, and he had to admit that the one Ningguang picked was of the best quality.
Makoto looked at the glaze lily in Ningguang's hand, then nodded: "Indeed, it's a very beautiful wild glaze lily."
"Compared to the artificially cultivated glaze lily on Yujing Terrace, this wild glaze lily is even more precious in quality.
"If there's a discerning merchant, it might fetch a good price."
Makoto paused, then changed his tone: "But I still have to criticize you for not staying home as you were told, and instead sneaking out."
"Doing so is very dangerous; I will worry."
As his words fell, it was clear to see tears welling up in Ningguang's eyes.
The little girl looked very remorseful, pouting pitifully.
"I'm sorry, Makoto, Ningguang made you worry."
"From now on, Ningguang will be obedient and stay at home when Makoto goes out, absolutely no running around."
"Makoto, please don't be angry, okay?"
Seeing Ningguang's pitiful appearance, Makoto felt heartbroken.
Makoto squatted down, gently rubbed Ningguang's head, and then softly said: "I'm not angry, I just think what you did was not good; you didn't follow our agreement."
Makoto paused, then continued: "Besides, taking risks to earn money is not advisable."
"What I want to say is, no matter how much Mora you earn, it's not as important as your safety, understand?"
This girl, Ningguang, is truly thinking about how to earn Mora all the time.
Originally, such a thought was not a problem, after all, in the game, Ningguang also takes pleasure in earning Mora,
but her own safety must be put first.
Taking risks to earn money, in Makoto's opinion, is simply not worth it.
At this moment, Ningguang shook her head and explained: "Makoto, Ningguang picked the wild glaze lily not to sell it,"
"but, but to give it to Makoto."
Although Mora is good, in Ningguang's eyes, Makoto is more important.
