Genshin Impact: Ningguang is still a pitiful little thing, I invested in her.

For Gan Yu, marrying the boy she loves is like eating a delicious, icy watermelon on a hot summer day.

...

Are we just going to walk up the mountain like this?

Arriving at the foot of Mount Aozang, Gan Yu stopped and looked weakly at Fang Xun beside her.

Normally, she would use immortal techniques to see True Lord Liuyun, and ascending to the immortal abode was just a matter of a blink of an eye.

Now, Fang Xun plans to climb to the summit along the mountain path like an ordinary person, which makes Gan Yu feel a little uncomfortable.

"Of course, proposing marriage is a very important matter and should not be taken lightly."

"Some formalities are definitely necessary; this will demonstrate our sincerity."

"We must climb to the top of the mountain step by step, that's the decision."

Fang Xun spoke eloquently, showing that he had a well-thought-out plan and had taken all factors into account.

He paused for a moment, then casually asked, "Oh, by the way, how long does it take to walk from here to the Immortal Abode?"

Gan Yu looked at the seemingly endless mountain road and said after a long while, "It will probably take a day and a night."

one day one Night?

By the time we reach the immortal abode, won't it be too late?

Fang Xun coughed and said shamelessly, "Gan Yu, actually I think the same thing as you."

"Since we're already so familiar with True Lord Liuyun, there's no harm in skipping some of the tedious formalities,"

"So let's skip the mountain path and use magic instead."

Gan Yu blinked, looking confused.

Fang Xun just said he wanted to show his sincerity by climbing the mountain to the Immortal Abode, why did he suddenly change his mind?

"What are you daydreaming about? The sun is almost setting. Don't keep her waiting."

"Oh..." Gan Yu felt something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

It feels like being sold out and then helping to count the money.

...

Mount Aozang, the immortal abode of the Cloud-Retaining True Lord.

At this moment, the True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng sat alone in the pavilion, gazing at the mountain scenery in the distance.

"Gan Yu rarely gets a day off, but instead of going back to Mount Aozang to visit me, she went to Mondstadt to attend some kind of Wind Flower Festival."

"What's so great about human holidays? You'd be better off sitting down and having a chat with me."

"I find sitting alone every day utterly boring. It would be nice to have someone to talk to to relieve my boredom. How about I take on another disciple to help me find some relief?"

Just as True Monarch Liuyun was pondering, the sound of footsteps behind her interrupted her thoughts.

Turning my head, I saw Fang Xun and Gan Yu standing in front of me, carrying large and small bags.

"Why are you here?" asked True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng curiously.

Fang Xun put down the gift in his hand and then replied, "I was afraid that Zhenjun would be bored staying here alone, so Gan Yu and I came to keep you company and chat. We also brought some gifts."

True Lord Liuyun snorted in dissatisfaction: "This immortal has found solace in nature and focused on cultivation; my days are quite pleasant."

"On the contrary, your visit has disturbed my peace and quiet."

True Lord Liuyun remained as arrogant as ever. Although he wanted to chat with someone, he put on an unhappy look as if he had been disturbed.

"Alright, I'll chat with you guys since I'm free. Chatting is what I'm best at."

"Let's talk about Gan Yu's childhood..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gan Yu blushed deeply, feeling extremely embarrassed.

"True Lord Liuyun..."

Actually, True Lord Liuyun is good in every way, except that he likes to talk about Gan Yu's childhood all the time.

It's like when guests come over, my mom always likes to bring up embarrassing stories from my childhood to liven things up—it's a total social disaster.

“True Lord Liuyun, Gan Yu has already told me about her childhood,”

"How about we talk about the holiday?"

Seeing Gan Yu's embarrassment, Fang Xun took the initiative to change the subject.

Gan Yu blinked, somewhat surprised.

She thought Fang Xun would get straight to the point about marriage, but unexpectedly he brought up the holiday first.

Fang Xun's approach had its advantages. He first talked about some unhurried things to lighten the mood, and then gradually introduced the main topic.

If you start by talking about serious matters, the atmosphere will immediately become tense, which can easily have the opposite effect.

"Holiday?"

Liu Yun Zhenjun was taken aback; she hadn't heard anyone mention the word "festival" in a long time.

Fang Xun hummed in agreement and explained, "The Moon Festival is approaching. Would True Lord Liu Yun like to go to Liyue Harbor and celebrate the festival with everyone?"

Fang Xun plans to host a banquet for everyone at the upcoming Moon Festival, where friends from Mondstadt and Inazuma will be attending.

The more people there are at a gathering like this, the more lively it is.

As Gan Yu's relative, Fang Xun naturally hoped that Liu Yun Zhenjun could appear at the Zhu Yue Festival banquet.

"No, why should I, an immortal, join in the human festival?"

"The constant noise is not as good as the tranquility of Mount Okuzō."

Without even thinking, True Lord Liuyun refused outright.

Fang Xun had actually anticipated Liu Yun Zhenjun's rejection.

He smiled and changed his tone: "I have a friend, the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons, Xiao. You should know him, True Lord, right?"

"When I first met Xiao, he was unwilling to integrate into human society; his face clearly showed his rejection,"

Xiao always felt that there was a difference between humans and immortals, and that immortals should be kept separate from humans.

"But... even the Geo Archon often walks the world in human form, silently witnessing the rise and fall of Liyue."

"Do we really need to make such a clear distinction between immortals and humans?"

Faced with Fang Xun's question, True Monarch Liuyun remained silent, because she could not answer it.

To be clear, the Emperor enjoys listening to storytelling and drinking tea, and sometimes he even takes his birds for a walk. It's just like the daily life of an ordinary person.

I feel that it's inappropriate to make such clear distinctions.

Fang Xun seized the opportunity and continued, "All of you immortals have protected Liyue for over a thousand years,"

"Over the past millennium, Liyue Harbor has undergone tremendous changes,"

"My Lord, how about we get to know Liyue Harbor anew?"

Gan Yu also hoped that Liu Yun Zhenjun could attend the Zhu Yue Festival and persuade him from the side.

Faced with Fang Xun and Gan Yu's explanation, True Lord Liuyun remained silent.

He neither agreed nor refused.

This shows that there is room for things to change.

Should the boundary between immortals and humans be drawn so clearly?

What has Liyue Harbor become over the past thousand years?

These questions remained in the mind of True Lord Liuyun.

"Fang Xun, you've brought me gifts and invited me to celebrate the festival today. Is there something important you want to discuss with this immortal?"

After a brief silence, True Lord Liuyun began to discuss serious matters.

She looked at Fang Xun, then at Gan Yu: "You two must have already discussed this before coming to see me, right?"

“The True Lord is right.”

Fang Xun took a deep breath, sat up straight, and became serious and solemn.

"I have come here specifically to propose marriage."

"I want to marry Gan Yu."

Chapter 467 I'm angry because you never make me angry.

"I have always seen the affection between you two who have been together day and night, so today's marriage proposal is not unexpected."

"Furthermore, the bloodline of the Qilin clan needs you to continue, so I naturally approve of this marriage."

Liu Yun Zhenjun nodded slightly, indicating his attitude.

Although they knew beforehand that True Monarch Liuyun would agree, Fang Xun and Gan Yu were still relieved.

Once Lord Liuyun has expressed his opinion, the matter of Fang Xun and Gan Yu getting married will be settled.

After that, True Lord Liuyun specifically sent Gan Yu away and spoke privately with Fang Xun about the matter.

He said things like, "Tell him to take good care of Gan Yu," and "Don't let Gan Yu suffer any injustice."

Fang Xun obediently nodded in agreement. Since True Lord Liuyun had entrusted Gan Yu to him, he naturally had to live up to True Lord Liuyun's expectations.

"What did True Monarch Liuyun say to you just now?"

On the way down the mountain, Gan Yu asked curiously.

I wonder what important things True Lord Liuyun had to tell me, that he specifically sent her away.

"She said that if you ever make me angry, I should go back to Mount Aozang and tell her, and she will help me resolve the matter."

Fang Xun teased Gan Yu on purpose, making a joke.

"No way." Gan Yu shook her head upon hearing this.

"How do you know that True Monarch Liuyun won't stand up for me?"
