Yang Ming followed Ning Guang to Dihua Island, where Ning Guang started looking for herbs, and Yang Ming watched from the side. But it was really boring, so Yang Ming leaned against a tree and took a nap, not knowing when Ning Guang disappeared.

Ningguang had already dug up a lot of herbs. She rested for a while and checked the herbs.

"Mom, I've found all the medicine for today. Let's find some and take them to the Bubu furnace to exchange for some Mora."

After Ningguang rested for a while, she started looking for herbs again. At this time, a group of hillbillies were slowly approaching, about five of them, and they seemed to regard Ningguang as prey.

Ningguang was digging herbs and was completely unaware of the approaching Hilichurls. By the time she reacted, it was too late. A Hilichurl shouted and hit Ningguang's backpack with a wooden stick. The huge force knocked Ningguang to the ground.

"Demon, monster! How could there be a monster in Ogihua Island... No, don't come over here! Help!"

Ningguang's voice woke up the dozing Yang Ming. Yang Ming looked towards the place where Ningguang was just now and found that she was gone. He quickly found Ningguang by following the voice!

"Condensing light!"

Ningguang had already fainted. A spear appeared in Yang Ming's hand. Before Yang Ming could react, a dark green figure rushed out, and all the Hillilians were wiped out in an instant.

This dark green figure is none other than the three-eyed and five-manifested immortal "Xiao"!

Yang Ming came to Xiao and squatted down to check Ningguang's condition. Ningguang was not hurt, just had some scratches when she fell, and most of the damage was borne by the backpack.

Yang Ming breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ningguang was fine, and then looked at Xiao.

"Thank you, Immortal Xiao, for your help. I would like to thank you on behalf of Ningguang."

Xiao was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yang Ming.

"you know me?"

"Reporting to the Immortal, I am Yang Ming, a disciple of True Monarch Liuyun Jiefeng. I have heard about the Immortal's deeds from my master many times."

"Master Liuyunjiefeng? I see. I understand."

"Also, you don't need to thank me. It was my fault that I allowed the monster to appear in Ogihua Island and caused harm to innocent people."

"Since you know her, I'll leave her to you."

After saying that, without waiting for Yang Ming's reaction, Xiao disappeared from the spot. Yang Ming couldn't help but sigh that Xiao really came and went without a trace.

After all, when playing games, Yang Ming liked Xiao's personality, who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, with a strong sense of responsibility, although he was a little bad at speaking.

Yang Ming carried a backpack and held Ningguang in his arms as he walked towards Liyue Harbor. When they reached the foot of Tianheng Mountain, Ningguang woke up in his arms and was startled to find herself being held by someone. However, she relaxed a lot after seeing that it was Yang Ming.

"Are you awake? Do you feel unwell?"

Ningguang felt it herself and shook her head.

"Brother, put me down. I can walk by myself."

Yang Ming put Ningguang down. Ningguang looked at Yang Ming and felt a little uncomfortable. Her hands unconsciously crossed together. Yang Ming guessed the situation.

"Thank you, Brother Yang Ming..."

Ningguang was interrupted by Yang Ming before she could finish her words.

"I didn't save you. I just happened to pass by and saw you fainted there. There were monsters around, so I brought you back."

"So that's how it is. I have to thank Brother Yang Ming too. If it weren't for Brother Yang Ming, I might have been dragged away by a wild beast or met a villain somewhere."

"Well, let's go back to Liyue Harbor."

It was already dusk when the two returned to Liyue Harbor. Ningguang first went to the Bubulu to hand over the backpack and herbs to the master.

Ningguang picked herbs for the entire afternoon. Although she kept some, there were still quite a few that she only exchanged for 500 Mora.

"Ningguang, so many herbs for only 500 Mora?"

"Well, actually, this is already very high. The gentlemen of the Divination Furnace buy my herbs at high prices. The value of herbs is estimated based on their age. One hundred Mora can buy a lot of ordinary herbs."

"So that's how it is, where are you going next?"

"I still have to go to Wanmin Hall to help. By the way, Brother Yang Ming, the dishes made by Chef Mao are delicious. Do you want to try them?"

"Wanmintang? What Ningguang recommended should be good, so let's go and try it."

"Yang Ming followed Ningguang to Wanmin Hall. Master Mao was already busy alone. Ningguang saw this and immediately went to help."

It was around seven o'clock before Master Mao finished the day's work. He took a break and drank some tea.

"Xiao Ningguang, take a rest for a while. I'll wash the dishes later. What do you want to eat today?"

"It's okay with me. I'll eat whatever Master Mao cooks. I'm not picky about food."

"Alas, is my cooking skill so bad?"

"No, no, that's not the case..."

"Haha, alright, alright, I'm just teasing you."

Ningguang smiled, and suddenly she seemed to remember something. She hurriedly ran out of Wanmin Hall and saw Yang Ming sleeping against the railing not far away.

It wasn’t that Yang Ming was sleepy, he was just too bored, so Ningguang carefully woke Yang Ming up.

"Brother Yang Ming, Brother Yang Ming, wake up, Ning Guang is done with her work."

"Hmm? Ningguang, are you done with your work?"

"I'm sorry, Brother Yang Ming. I was so busy that I forgot about you for a while..."

"It's ok, can we go eat now?"

"Yeah! Brother Yang Ming, come in quickly."

Yang Ming followed Ningguang into Wanmin Hall, but did not see Master Mao. Ningguang brought him a menu.

"Boiled black bass, dry-pot pork slices, stir-fried shredded vegetables, and golden shrimp balls."

"Brother Yang Ming, did you order so much for yourself?"

"Don't we have you here? Let's eat together then. Didn't you not eat either?"

Ningguang shook her head

"Brother Yang Ming is a guest, and I am a clerk. How can a clerk eat with a guest?"

After saying that, Ningguang went to place the order. Master Mao was also wondering why someone came to eat so late.

Soon, Ningguang brought up the delicious dishes, and Master Mao walked out and picked up the teacup to drink water.

"You look strange, young man? Where are you from?"

"From Qingce Village, Ningguang said that the master's craftsmanship is very good, so I came to taste it."

"Ningguang, can you introduce me?"

"Well, Master, you've been busy all afternoon. Have you eaten yet? If not, let's eat together."

Master Mao did not refuse because he didn't want to move the spatula anymore.

"Ningguang, the owner has already sat down to eat with the customers, why are you still standing there?"

"Ah? Brother Yang Ming, this..."

Without waiting for Ningguang to refuse, Yang Ming pulled her to sit at the table.

Then the three of them started to eat. Ningguang was a little reserved while eating, so Yang Ming picked up a dish for her.

"Don't be so reserved, just eat."

Ningguang nodded, and relaxed a little, eating bowl after bowl. Yang Ming was a little stunned, how could such a small stomach hold so much?

Master Mao noticed Yang Ming's confusion and began to explain.

"Ningguang is still growing up, and she works hard from morning till night to make a living."

"Although she eats so much, most adult men can't handle such a large amount of exercise."

"That's why she doesn't gain weight. She uses up all the energy she eats every day."

Yang Ming nodded and stopped talking and continued eating. Master Mao's cooking skills were indeed good.

Master Mao is only 20 years old now and has not yet married or had children.

It can be seen how talented Master Mao is in cooking, as he has already developed his own style at the age of 20.

After dinner, Ningguang went to wash the dishes while Yang Ming chatted with Master He Mao.

"Ningguang is a good child. Her father died early, and she was raised by her mother alone. When Ningguang was six years old, her mother was seriously ill. I was still an apprentice at that time."

"When I was shopping for food with my master, I saw a dirty Ningguang helping her mother sell food."

"She helps other vendors watch their stalls from time to time, and gets some Mora or food in return. People around her like Ningguang very much."

"Then, for some reason, her mother became seriously ill, and we pooled our money to send her to see a doctor in Bubuluo."

"The master said that it was because of the sadness and overwork that caused the mental and physical exhaustion, and he needed to rest."

"Since then, I have seen Ningguang buying vegetables by herself, and after selling them she would go looking for herbs."

"Last year, I opened the Wanmin Hall and asked her to come here to help every day at noon and in the evening when the customer flow was high. I wanted her to have a hot meal and earn some money."

"But Ningguang was so stubborn that she refused me. I had no choice but to ask her to have dinner with me before she agreed to help."

Yang Ming listened to Ningguang's past. When he was ten years old, he was still watching Ultraman, and when he was ten years old, Ningguang was already struggling to make a living.
