Lu Bu, the Thunder General, is my adoptive father in Genshin Impact.

The katana is broken, and I don't have a suitable weapon on hand. Using Guoba's ability to spray him won't be very effective, and Huangxing can't create distance either...

Almost instinctively, Xiao Yi raised the Qilin horn and thrust it fiercely into the Heavenly Venerable's left eye—the enemy, whose entire body was engulfed in flames, still had a conspicuous spot of light in his left eye.

Xiao Yi believes that since the weakness of the projection is this, the weakness of the original body may also remain unchanged.

The fire-man covered his eyes and staggered backward, falling to the ground and turning into black, humanoid ashes. With that, the self-proclaimed Celestial Venerable disappeared completely, and the restless Dragon King Ruoduo gradually calmed down, bringing the farce of the Righteous Society to a close.

"I'm sorry, Miss Gan Yu." Xiao Yi stroked the Qilin horn in his hand, his expression complicated. "I poked something strange with your horn."

"I don't mind."

The clear female voice from behind prompted Xiao Yi to turn his head. Gan Yu, who had rushed over, put her hands behind her back, blushed, and awkwardly avoided his gaze.

"But could you give me back my horn first? Please stop touching it with those weird touches."

"Haha, sorry, sorry." Xiao Yijiao handed it to Gan Yu, "I'm afraid it will leave scratches..."

Before he could finish speaking, he lost consciousness from exhaustion and collapsed forward into Gan Yu's arms.

Volume 3: A Certain Yura's Railgun

Chapter 152 Wedding Night, Beautiful Wife and Coconut Sheep (6k)

When Xiao Yi woke up again, he found himself in a wonderful area that looked like a fairyland, with Gan Yu lying not far away.

He slowly got up and observed his surroundings, looking at the sky dyed pale red by the setting sun, then squinted and slowly lowered his head.

Beneath my feet lies a floating island suspended above the clouds, its edges edged by a beautiful railing made primarily of white jade, beyond which lie ethereal, ethereal clouds.

Luofu Cave is like a dusty, melodious pot.

He touched his head and recalled that after defeating the so-called Celestial Venerable, he lost consciousness and collapsed into Gan Yu's arms.

He could have used his willpower to hold on until he returned to Liyue Harbor to rest, but since everything had already been resolved, it was understandable that he collapsed on the spot.

So, this is a dream!

But why is Gan Yu here as well?

He ran to Gan Yu's side and tried to wake her up.

The way to awaken a graceful lady must be done in a gentlemanly manner, of course not by slapping her. Xiao Yi picked her up and gently rocked her.

The girl's eyelids fluttered, as if she was about to wake up.

Suddenly, the glow of the setting sun gradually and unnaturally shifted, forming a shape resembling a dragon—a dazzling golden dragon—combined with the surrounding hazy clouds.

Xiao Yi thought to himself: Is this the kind of situation where you can make a wish?

Wait, this looks like the Rock King Emperor!

Just as he recognized the Emperor's appearance, Gan Yu opened her eyes, and the slightly bewildered Qilin girl helped Xiao Yi stand up straight by supporting his shoulders.

"Hey, where is this..." Gan Yu finally came to her senses, "...the space where the Emperor appeared in a dream!"

Sure enough, in the dream, the dragon was indeed Lord Rock.

Before Xiao Yi and Gan Yu could react, the golden dragon soared to the edge of the floating island, and its sound, as if enhanced by special effects, reached their ears.

"In resolving this issue, you chose the riskiest method, infiltrating a local organization by assassinating Thor as a pledge of loyalty—yet your recklessness yielded good results. Generally speaking, since you have succeeded, I cannot criticize you for your 'recklessness,' and besides, I, who have been sitting idly by, should not make arbitrary judgments."

"Not at all, Emperor Zhong..." Xiao Yi said modestly. "It is precisely because I understand that you are Liyue's strongest support that I dare to adopt this plan."

The golden dragon hovering in front of the two continued, "Therefore, the matter of forming a society will be put aside for now. The reason for bringing you here is to discuss your marriage."

Xiao Yi and Gan Yu were stunned for a few seconds, then looked at each other in bewilderment.

Indeed, although many troubles occurred in the middle, they could not overshadow the initial major problem—what would become of the engagement and agreements between the two parties?

Although they pretended to be a married couple for several days during their infiltration of the society, it was a means for Xiao Yi to eliminate suspicion, and it was part of Gan Yu's job. There was also a partition between them while they slept, so it could not be called sharing a bed.

However, news of the marriage between the two countries spread almost throughout Teyvat, and the hasty decision became a joke.

Perhaps the Emperor sensed this, and deliberately appeared in their dreams to let them discuss and make a choice based on their own will.

Ultimately, this marriage stemmed from a misunderstanding. Whether Xiao Yi and Gan Yu want to continue the charade as a real relationship or pull back the curtain and choose to break up is entirely up to them.

Xiao Yi remained silent, and Gan Yu also remained silent, both waiting for the other to speak first.

Seeing this, the Emperor had no choice but to get involved himself.

"Xiao Yi, what do you think of Gan Yu?"

Xiao Yi was stunned for a few seconds: How come even the highly respected emperor started asking the strange question of "how to evaluate"?

Xiao Yi frowned and hesitated for a long time before suddenly becoming serious and saying quickly and continuously, "Miss Gan Yu—she is very cute, gentle, and extremely serious in her work. She cares about and is considerate of others' feelings. Her heart is as kind and beautiful as her appearance. She is a vegetarian and loves small animals. She is very self-disciplined. She will take the initiative to clean up the dishes after meals. She will prepare hot water for me to wash up before going to bed. She is very quiet in bed except for occasionally rolling around. She likes cleanliness and often cleans the house on her own. Even though her sweat smells good, she still takes a bath every day. The food she cooks is incredibly delicious. She is not afraid of difficulties and perseveres when she works—she is an exceptionally excellent and virtuous girl!"

With each sentence, Gan Yu's face would blush even more. After this series of compliments, the girl's cheeks were even redder than the setting sun.

Even the Emperor was stunned by Xiao Yi's words. Even the stiff old stone could tell that Xiao Yi was confessing his feelings. Now it was up to Gan Yu to decide.

"Gan Yu, what is your opinion of Xiao Yi?"

"Uh, I...I...I...I..." The Qilin girl, her face flushed, gradually panicked. Finally, she mustered her courage, clenched her fists, and said, "I think Mr. Xiao Yi is a good person!"

Xiao Yi: "..."

Emperor: "..."

“I really like good people, especially capable ones!” Gan Yu added quietly, her voice barely audible. “I hope he can work and live with me, and witness the country gradually prospering through our joint efforts, even hundreds or thousands of years from now.”

The momentum is pretty good right now. The Emperor thinks that if they put in a little more effort, these two kids might have a chance.

"Back to the original question, since you have feelings for each other, then the marriage contract..."

Of course, the Emperor cannot make such a decision. Even though he has helped to this extent, the attitudes of both the man and woman are clearly written on their faces, and the conclusion must still be stated by the parties involved themselves.

However, Xiao Yi and Gan Yu, with complicated expressions, fell silent again, waiting for the other to express their opinions.

Although Xiao Yi is a shrewd and flexible person, and Gan Yu has thousands of years of experience, it is their first time getting married, and they are inevitably a little nervous.

The golden dragon, floating in mid-air, was utterly puzzled. He had pushed them so many times, so why did they end up back where they started when it came to the crucial issue?

All my previous efforts were in vain.

……

On Tianheng Mountain, Wendy, who was admiring the moon, turned around and ran to the stone table where Zhongli was drinking tea.

"Grandpa, I've never seen you with that stomach-ache look on your face before!" the bard boy said with a beaming smile. "When I came to Liyue for tourism, I saw a wealthy family having a blind date. The couple involved were very shy and didn't dare to say much. Their parents had the same expression."

Wendy smiled, took out a Mora, flicked it into the air, and covered the back of her left hand with her right hand.

"When in doubt, flip a coin." Wendy slowly moved her right hand away, but Mora had vanished. "What do you think, old man?"

Zhong Li took a sip of the fine tea and shook his head: "Xiao Yi and Gan Yu's thoughts are already very clear, they just haven't expressed them. If the coin flips to the side that they want to break up their engagement, it would be like breaking up a loving couple and doing more harm than good, which is not advisable."

“Old man, your thinking is as rigid as a stone!” Wendy whispered in Zhongli’s ear, “Just do this first, then this, and finally this…”

……

"Since you cannot decide, leave the choice to fate."

The Emperor's strange remarks caused the two people, whose gazes had been wandering, to turn their attention to the golden dragon.

“The Mora has different sides. The front has intricate patterns with interlocking rings, while the back is as flat as a calm lake,” the Emperor explained earnestly. “Next, I will toss a Mora. If it’s heads, the marriage will continue; if it’s tails, we will part ways.”

"This is just my suggestion. If you want to reject the results of Mora when the time comes, I will not object. I will throw out a new Mora until you are all satisfied."

Ding! ! !

A small golden dot fell from the sky and landed on the ground in front of Xiao Yi and Gan Yu, spinning rapidly as if in a dance.

Although the Emperor had said beforehand that the outcome of the coin toss could be ruled out, Xiao Yi and Gan Yu were still full of anticipation, staring intently at the spinning coin.

Finally, the coin fell over, heads.

"Ms. Gan Yu, do you accept this result?"

"I……"

Before Gan Yu could finish speaking, the dream space rapidly disintegrated, and everything returned to silence. Xiao Yi did not hear her reply.

……

Xiao Yi suddenly awoke to find himself sitting in the carriage of the Thousand Rock Army, who were heading towards Liyue Harbor after a great victory.

Gan Yu, still fast asleep, sat beside him, her head, now restored with its two horns, resting on his shoulder.

It hurts so much!

Xiao Yi recalled everything that had just happened.

Was it all a dream? The Emperor's question, and the coin toss—were they all nonexistent?

Just then, Gan Yu murmured in her sleep, "I accept... the result of the coin toss."

Hearing Gan Yu's indistinct ramblings in his sleep, Xiao Yi gradually relaxed and leisurely slumped back in the carriage chair.

……

A month later, after careful preparations by both Liyue and Inazuma, the business agreement was officially put into effect. On the same day, the wedding of the Sage Secretary and Narukami's adopted son was held in grand style.

As night fell over Liyue Harbor, the streets were brightly lit and decorated, filling the largest commercial city in Teyvat with a festive atmosphere.

The incredibly luxurious and lavish banquet was held at Yujingtai, and only the most distinguished and wealthy businessmen were fortunate enough to receive an invitation—an invitation that couldn't be bought even for hundreds of millions of Mora.

Strangely, there were two empty seats near the center, each with an invitation on it, addressed to Inazuma Wandering Samurai Miyamoto and Lu Renjia, former member of the Liyue Treasure Raiders. Most merchants were unaware of the fact that these two commoners had received invitations and had not even attended.

Even more strangely, General Thunder arrived in Liyue again by boat, specifically to attend his adopted son's wedding banquet. However, the people at the table with the deity were not the Liyue Seven Stars, but Mr. Zhongli, the representative of the Hall of Rebirth, and a young bard with no official status.

It is said that this was arranged by the groom himself, and no one dared to ask any questions.

Ms. Social Anxiety couldn't escape it in the end.

Seven Stars sat at a table with the Kamisato siblings who were organizing the wedding banquet, and Yae no Miko who was in charge of the ceremony. Tianquan Star finally stepped out from behind the scenes and Yuheng changed out of his tattered clothes.

As for the bride and groom, the necessary ceremonies have already been held. After paying respects to the Thunder God and the immortals of Liyue, they were carried to their bridal chamber in a grand sedan chair carried by eight men. As expected, we will see them tomorrow.

The location of the bridal chamber was chosen by Xiao Yi. Surprisingly, he decided on the luxurious inn where Keqing had arrested him when he first arrived in Liyue, implying that the trouble would begin and end there.

……

The room was filled with high-quality red silk, and with the fiery red candlelight, it seemed as if everything had been dyed red.

Dressed in a red robe and wearing a red veil, Gan Yu sat silently on the edge of the bed, her hands placed gracefully on her thighs. Xiao Yi, dressed as the groom, rubbed his black and white hair and moved closer to his wife.
