Start daily card draw from Genshin Impact

But even so, his experience as an orphan since childhood and more than ten years of compulsory education have jointly shaped his values, making "marriage" and "love" still retain an indelible nobility and sacredness in his heart.

That is not directed at the act of "marriage" and "love" itself, but at the "love" and "marriage" that Yu Qi pursues in his heart.

Being in love with each other and being deeply devoted to each other, this is the love that Yu Qi longs for; supporting each other and growing old together, this is the marriage that Yu Qi desires.

It's a pity that he eventually saw all kinds of human conditions on Earth and completely gave up his desire and pursuit for love and marriage, instead becoming a "bad-ass" young man.

If one person is well fed, the whole family will not be hungry. This is the best portrayal of Yu Qi at that time.

But after arriving at the continent of Teyvat, things were different.

This world's views and customs on love and marriage are much more "conservative" than those on Earth, and are more in line with the goals that Yu Qi is pursuing; coupled with the ability to perceive other people's emotions, he will not be confused by the attitudes expressed by ordinary people.

He naturally knew that except for Alicia, whom he had drawn from the card pool, the other women, whether Yan Fei and Yae Shen Zi, who had already established a relationship with him, or Gan Yu, Raiden Zhen and other women, all had ulterior motives in approaching him at the beginning.

But there is no doubt that when they finally chose to establish a relationship with him, Yu Qi could feel the sincere feelings in their hearts.

You give me your true love, and I should return it with my true love.

Yu Qi didn't know why Alicia, Yan Fei and Yae Shen Zi suddenly "attacked" him last night, but since it had already happened and they had already "slept together", Yu Qi would naturally choose to shoulder the responsibilities that he should have.

—It becomes their husband’s duty and the responsibility of the head of the household.

This is also the reason why Yu Qi suddenly "confessed" to them and "proposed" to them.

After these words were spoken, not to mention the three people involved were shocked, Alicia and Yae Shenzi were stiff in expression, with red cheeks, and Yan Fei couldn't help but lie on the table, covering her cheeks tightly; even the women who were watching on the side were stunned for a few seconds, with different expressions.

After all, the phrase "getting married with a baby" is a bit too...

"Ahem, boss, did you misunderstand something?" With a red face, Alicia reached out and touched her burning pointed ears. She couldn't help but glared at him: "We are not that... unloving!"

"Do you believe what I said?" Glancing at Alicia with a hint of meaning, Yu Qi couldn't help but mutter, "I don't know who took the initiative to get into my bed this morning..."

"Boss!" The voice suddenly became much sharper. Alicia interrupted Yu Qi loudly and took a deep breath: "You must have misunderstood something! We did this last night for a reason!"

"Hmm?" Yu Qi tapped the table with his fingertips, with an expression that said, 'Go on, and see if I believe it or not.'

"Oh, this is actually the case!" Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly out of control, Alicia no longer cared about being shy, and immediately told Yu Qi all her previous guesses without hiding anything.

"...So, you chose to get into my bed just to help me better understand and face my own desires?" Frowning, Yu Qi glanced at the phantom of the world of Teyvat in his body, thoughtfully.

Her cheeks flushed again at the description of 'getting into bed', and Alicia couldn't help but sigh: "Yeah, if you really let the boss continue to escape, who knows if you will completely alienate us, then we will lose our boyfriends for no reason!"

"Besides, as the saying goes..." At this time, Yae Shenzi couldn't help but interrupt and said, "It's better to relieve than to block. If you keep escaping like this, and the desires in your heart continue to accumulate, who knows what will happen when it explodes completely?"

"Who knows, by then, Master, you might be completely dominated by desire and attack all of us!"

Spreading her hands, Alysia agreed, "That's right, in order to prevent everyone from falling prey to your vicious hands, it's better for us to take the initiative. After all, we've already established our relationship, so sleeping together or something like that isn't... that serious!"

At the end of her speech, Alicia seemed to have thought of something. Her eyes became a little vague, and her already rosy face became even more rosy.

Seeing this, Yu Qi naturally thought of the previous charming scene, and couldn't help blushing. He coughed awkwardly: "What you said makes sense!"

"But, if that's the case, doesn't that mean... ahem, anyway, I think we should just schedule the wedding first, otherwise I'll be doing something a little inappropriate."

For example, O behavior before marriage, O behavior before marriage, or O behavior before marriage!

"This is not good, boss." As if she finally saw through Yu Qi's thoughts, Alicia suddenly laughed, stood up, walked behind him, and gently hugged Yu Qi's neck.

"Boss, the reason you want to marry us now is just because of your sense of responsibility, not because your feelings for us have really reached the stage of marriage, right?"

"I……"

Gently stroking Yu Qi's hair to stop him from speaking, Alicia continued: "But, this is not good for us."

"Although I have thought about marrying you, boss, I don't want this to be a choice you are forced to make under the so-called 'sense of responsibility'."

"I will wait for you, until the day when you really fall in love with me and really want to marry me out of your own feelings. At that time, even if you don't say anything, I will take the initiative to bring up this matter."

"I……"

At this moment, Yan Fei, who had been lying on the table shyly and didn't dare to speak, couldn't help but look up and interrupted: "Actually, what Sister Ai Li said is what I want to say."

"Brother Yu, you can't fool me. Right now, you just like and love us, but you are not really ready to discuss marriage with us!"

The yellow-green horns shook, and Yan Fei couldn't help blushing again. She said softly: "Besides, even if you really want to, Brother Yu, you have to wait until... you meet my parents, and then talk about it!"

"...Okay!" After taking a deep breath, Yu Qi turned to look at the Eightfold Son of God not far away: "So, what do you think, Son of God?"

"Hmm? What do you think?" Raising an eyebrow, the Son of God lazily lay down on the table and said in a lazy tone: "I don't care about your human wedding. For monsters, becoming a couple only requires the consent of both parties."

"Since Miss Ai Li and Yan Fei have said so, then I have no objection. When you are ready to get married, just remember to notify me!"

"Well, maybe I can be the master of ceremonies for you then. Haha, getting married under the blessing of the chief priest of Narukami Taisha Shrine is something that no one has ever experienced before!"

"..." Glancing silently at the Eightfold Son of God, Yu Qi could clearly feel the complex emotions in her heart: anticipation, curiosity, fear, and a little relief.

Obviously, this fox's attitude towards marriage is not as indifferent as it seems on the surface. Instead, it takes it much more seriously than Yan Fei and Alicia.

"Okay, if that's the case, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Having said that, some words have already been said, how can we ever go back to the time when they never happened?

Shaking his head, Yu Qi felt the slightly strange atmosphere around him and suddenly felt a little regretful.

Maybe I shouldn't have brought this up at the dinner table when everyone was present.

"If I ask Alicia and the others secretly, will the answers be different?"

Such a question flashed through his mind, but without thinking deeply, Yu Qi stood up and walked towards the backyard cave: "By the way, there may be guests visiting later. If you see a young man named Albedo coming to the store, remember to notify me in time."

"Okay, got it!" Someone responded from a distance.

After returning to the central pavilion in the backyard and sitting down, Yu Qi looked at the barbarians who were still busy in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh again. Then his heart suddenly paused, and his brows suddenly frowned...

"No, my emotions seem to have become much more sensitive." Shaking his head, Yu Qi thought for a while, took out a 'leek sachet' and held it in his hand. The warm feeling instantly spread throughout his body, and his mind couldn't help but become a little lighter.

"Tsk~ It seems that what Alicia said is indeed correct. I am indeed affected by the 'defect'."

“But, desire…” His eyes patrolled the Liyue land in his body. Although its essence was still a little hazy, whether it was mountains, rivers, flowers, trees, cities and houses, as long as they existed in the real Liyue land, the world inside Yu Qi’s body would naturally have everything, except for those... real living creatures!

From the beginning to the end, all Yu Qi had was a completely dead world! Whether it was humans, birds, beasts, insects or monsters, the miracle of life had never appeared in his world.

"Desire, emotion, or soul?"

Closing his eyes, Yu Qi recalled the changes that had taken place from the time he got the second concept of "eating air" to now, and he had a vague understanding in his heart.

"Eating Qi (One Break) can swallow the Qi of heaven and earth and create a real world in the body, but is the Qi of heaven and earth that I swallowed really all the Qi of heaven and earth?"

Recalling the information he had learned before, Yu Qi couldn't help but sigh: "I should have thought of it earlier. Wind, rock, thunder, grass, water, fire, and ice. The world inside my body has instinctively divided the world into seven parts, and I need to fill them one by one through 'eating air'."

"So, what I swallowed is not so much the energy of heaven and earth, but rather the 'energy of the light world' that fills this world. Compared to the real world of Teyvat, I lack two other equally important powers!"

"That's why, even though I obtained the 'Power of Rock', I still failed to completely solidify the land of Liyue. From the beginning to the end, this world is incomplete!"

The power of the light world, the power of the human world, and the power of the virtual world are the most important and also the most basic powers in the world of Teyvat.

If Yu Qi wants to truly make the 'Teyvat' world in his body become real, he must obtain these three powers at the same time. Otherwise, a slight mistake will lead to a huge mistake!

"The power of the light world is the positive original power of the world. It is wild, ancient but not sacred. The power of the virtual world is the negative chaotic power of the world. It is chaotic and filthy but not evil!"

"These two powers have existed since the birth of the world. Then, as time passed, the miracle of life blossomed in the world. From their hearts, the power of the human world, though weak but not inferior, was born."

"Now, the light realm power has been split into seven elements. According to my original plan, I can collect them one by one. The virtual realm power... seems to have been contaminated several times and turned into the power of the abyss. Given my current situation, it is better not to touch it casually for the time being."

"And the power of the human world... faith? Is this also within the scope of the power of heaven and earth? Or is it..."

Just as Yu Qi frowned secretly, the world in front of him changed in a trance. The sky, the earth, and all things lost their color and turned gray.

It was just like the scene he saw when he obtained the second 'Eating Breath', but compared to that time, in addition to the colorful light that continuously emerged from all directions of heaven and earth and continued to flow in with Yu Qi's breathing, this time in Yu Qi's field of vision, there was another kind of light golden light slowly emerging.

Pure and heavy, it floats like clouds and mist, diffusing between heaven and earth.

Looking at the light golden airflow flying in front of him, Yu Qi hesitated for a moment, then raised his palm and slowly touched it.

In an instant, countless rays of light seemed to have been summoned and rushed into Yu Qi's body madly, continuously.

Even, with the passage of time, more and more golden light surged, condensed in the void, and turned into a golden river, flowing slowly.

As this light poured in, an indescribable sense of satisfaction slowly emerged in Yu Qi's body, as if the original missing part was gradually being filled, and his originally restless mood gradually calmed down.

Willing power!

A sudden inspiration came to Yu Qi's mind, and the word emerged, and then he suddenly understood.

Chapter 195: "Eating Qi"? "Eating" and "Qi"

The power of incense and vows, or the power of faith, is something that has been mentioned in many cultures on Earth, whether in novels, animation or traditional mythology, so Yu Qi naturally knows it very well.

At this moment, seeing the golden light in front of him, the first thing that came to his mind was this thing. As Yu Qi breathed, the golden light flowed into his body continuously, and the whispers of many people faintly appeared in his ears.

It was messy but not noisy. After Yu Qi concentrated and listened quietly, he gradually understood what these voices were saying.

Some were filled with gratitude, some with respect, some with blessings, and some with anticipation...but almost all the voices came from people who had taken his elixirs, or people who had been helped by him!

"Because of my help, they recovered from their serious injuries and near death, so they are grateful to me, and then they have the 'wish power'?"

Muttering to himself, Yu Qi roughly guessed the source of the golden light and was not too surprised.

What really puzzled him was why he couldn't see these things before, but now he could see these wishes, and even regard them as the existence of "qi of heaven and earth" and absorb them into the body through "food qi"?

"Could it be..." Recalling his previous thoughts, Yu Qi gradually understood, but at the same time he couldn't help but feel extremely shocked.

"Because I thought of the existence of 'power of faith', and felt that they were also a kind of air of heaven and earth, so I could devour them through the concept of 'eating air'?! Idealism? It's really just a pure concept, 'the Milky Way is also a river'?"

Unable to help but complain in his heart, Yu Qi scratched his head, feeling a little numb for a moment.

He was not surprised by the uniqueness of the concept of "eating air". On the contrary, his heart was full of doubts at this moment.

Having been in contact with the card pool for such a long time, Yu Qi has drawn quite a few things, from ordinary one-star vegetables to world authority at three stars. He has got his hands on them all.

Over time, Yu Qi naturally understood the upper limit of the three-star level card. At most, it would not exceed that "heavenly principle" that had only appeared in the words of Zhongli, Lei Dianzhen and others.

But, purely idealistic conceptual abilities...

To put it bluntly, let alone a 'heavenly law' that cannot fully control even an ordinary fantasy world like Teyvat, even a cosmic-level god may not be worthy of carrying its shoes compared to it.

So, can this thing be a three-star level thing?

Yu Qi expressed serious doubts.

"Moreover, the concept of 'eating air' that I drew, in its initial version, can only enable me to continuously strengthen my body through 'breathing in and out'. Only after it is broken can I swallow the 'air of heaven and earth'."

"According to the calculation of the increase in power after the breakthrough of other one- and two-star cards, even if the concept of 'eating air' is fully broken, it is absolutely impossible to compare it with the 'idealistic concept' that I know of!"

"So, am I wrong, or is it that... the concept of 'eating air' itself is problematic?"

Sitting upright in the pavilion, Yu Qi gazed into the distance, his eyes somewhat empty, his thoughts spreading more and more.

From a common sense point of view, since the first base material that Yu Qi's golden finger came into contact with was food, the card pool that was opened was also locked to 'food'.

This might make Yu Qi feel a little disappointed at first, but later, as he drew various "weird" cards and had not triggered the second card pool so far, he naturally had no objection to it.

Who cares if it’s ‘food’ or not, as long as it’s useful and powerful, that’s all.

The concept of 'eating air' is the three-star card that Yu Qi obtained when he first drew the card. In a sense, this can actually be called his 'initial ability'.

From a general perspective, initial ability, whether it is strong or not is another matter, it must be the most basic and the ability with the widest range of effectiveness.

"Why would the ability related to food be 'eating air'? Shouldn't it be something like 'cooking' or 'swallowing'? It has nothing to do with 'air'! Unless..."

With narrowed eyes, Yu Qi raised his finger, and a special vision unfolded. The golden power of will mixed with the colorful energy of heaven and earth, entwined around his fingertips.

"From my understanding, if concepts are complete in themselves, then after the breakthrough, at most they will only enhance the strengthening effect of 'eating air' on oneself, rather than suddenly having the ability to 'swallow the air of heaven and earth'."

"This kind of enhancement, rather than strengthening the effect, is more like simply expanding the scope of the 'qi' that is swallowed, and the method of 'eating qi' is still through breathing, there is no change at all!"

"So, the ability to eat has not changed, but the range of the energy has expanded?"

The light in his eyes became brighter and brighter, and Yu Qi suddenly felt that he was gradually getting closer to the truth. A series of inexplicable information began to slowly emerge in his mind.

“Is ‘eating air’ really what I understand as ‘eating air’? Or is it… ‘eating’ and ‘air’?”

He muttered to himself, and at the same time, a ray of light suddenly lit up in Yu Qi's mind. A card with the concept of "eating air" emerged, and a message came from the card. The familiar introduction had changed drastically at this moment.

"Three Star Card: Breathing: After using, you will gain the concept of 'breathing'. Those who eat breath are divine and long-lived. They can improve their physical fitness and lifespan through slow breathing."

This is the original card information.
