I'm in Genshin Impact, and I started by teaming up with Luna.

The system glared back, though it no longer had eyes, its glare still piercing through the air. "No! Only three!"

Five!

Three!

Five!

Three!

"five……"

"Alright, alright!"

The system interrupted Wu Qiu and said, "Okay, three requests, plus a bet with my God Path. That's all. Any more and I won't give you anything."

"A Shinto gambling game? What's that?"

Wu Qiu asked. The system replied naturally, "It means you have one chance to gamble with me. If you win, I'll grant you any request; if you lose, there's no penalty."

Wu Qiu thought this was a good idea, so he said, "Okay, the Divine Path Betting Game is settled."

But then I thought, "Wait a minute, if that's the case, we can have a Shinto bet, and you can deliberately lose so you can do it yourself."

The system shook its head. "We shouldn't do things that go against the laws of nature. Each administrator of the Divine Path Gamble only has one chance, and once it's used, it's gone. Besides, even if you win, I still need the help of the Upper Realm to intervene in this matter without going against the laws of nature. So, do you understand?"

"Then I'll use it now, and I bet I'm better looking than you!"

Wu Qiu spoke up decisively. The system promptly slapped Wu Qiu on the forehead: "First, the outside is now sealed off. Even if you win, I won't be able to get help from the Upper Realm. So, using it now is meaningless."

"Secondly, the Shinto gambling game requires me to set everything up, it's not like you can just say what to bet on! And even I don't gamble randomly, it needs to be absolutely fair, so it's impossible for me to deliberately lose."

"In the end, you can't win this bet either!"

Wu Qiu was stunned by the bet. After a moment of reflection, he finally spoke up: "So, you're saying you get to decide what's on the bet, and it can't be used right now?"

The system nodded. Wu Qiu immediately exploded, "Holy crap! Aren't you just messing with me? And why can't I win?! Am I even as handsome as you, a mere dumpling?!"

Wu Qiu was completely screwed over by the system; it was a total rip-off. The system, feigning helplessness, said, "Anyway, you've already agreed, so there's nothing you can do now."

Wu Qiu took a deep breath and then immediately let go. "It's okay, it's okay. There are three more requests."

So Wu Qiu spoke up: "Then I'll make my request."

The system nodded. "Okay, remember that, within the allowed limits."

Wu Qiu thought for a moment and said, "Let Noelle go out and help us."

The system slapped Wu Qiu on the forehead with a loud bang! "I already said it's within the allowed limits! And it's not that I don't allow it! It's that it's not allowed!"

Wu Qiu took a step back. "Alright, alright, let's change it. Then... raise me to level ninety."

Bang! Another slap.

"Within the permitted scope!"

Wu Qiu stepped back again, and after thinking for a moment, he finally said, "Then give us three divine artifacts."

"You're fucking giving me a bug!"

The system was about to hit him again, so Wu Qiu dodged backwards, saying at the same time, "Hey hey hey! You say this won't work and that won't work, what am I supposed to do with these three! You're messing with me again!"

The system seemed a little guilty, then stopped what it was doing and said, "I don't care. Anyway, that's it."

"you!"

Wu Qiu was about to curse when Ying tugged at him from behind and said, "Little Qiu, can you ask me for something?"

Wu Qiu was taken aback, then said, "Of course, I want to give it all to you, Sister Ying."

Ying shook her head, then stepped forward. "Excuse me, System, may I make a request?"

The system nodded. "Of course you can, since there's nothing you can't do."

Ying smiled slightly and then said, "I hope to get a promise from you: in the future, you will not erase any trace of Xiao Qiuzi's existence, okay?"

The room fell silent upon hearing this, and Wu Qiu was stunned. Suddenly, it occurred to him that in the world two hundred years from now, everything about his existence had been erased. Wu Qiu himself had almost forgotten it, but Ying, clearly, even now, still cared deeply about it.

"Sister Ying..."

Wu Qiu spoke softly. Ying continued, "In this world, no one but you can do this. I'm sorry for doubting you so much, but I hope to get your promise."

The system hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "I can promise you that I will not actively erase his existence."

Ying shook her head. "It's not voluntary, it's all of it, no matter what..."

The system shook its head before she could finish speaking. "That's too general and not within the allowed scope. Taking the initiative means representing myself, and I mean I won't actively eliminate him. That's the biggest promise I can make."

Ying was somewhat disappointed, but Wu Qiu stepped forward and said, "Sister Ying, you have done it. My future will not be erased. Sister Ying, you have changed the future."

Ying glanced at Wu Qiu, then said, "Maybe..."

The system then spoke up: "Why do you all think I would erase him? That wouldn't do me any good."

Wu Qiu glanced at him sideways and said, "Who knows what you'll think?"

"Forget it, we still have two requests and one unreliable gambling scheme. Let's save them for later."

With that, he took Ying's hand and said, "Let's go, Ying-jie, let's go back."

However, Wu Qiu had only taken one step when she realized her hand was being grabbed. Turning around, she saw Ying standing there with her head down, her hand gripping hers tightly.

"Sister Ying?"

Wu Qiu asked curiously. Ying, on the other hand, gripped Wu Qiu's hand so tightly that Wu Qiu felt pain.

"Xiao Qiuzi."

Suddenly, Ying spoke, her voice low, without looking up. She said, head bowed, "I've always believed we have plenty of time, that we have all the time in the world, so I've never been in a hurry."

“But Inazuma told me that I could lose you at any moment. After arriving here, my heart began to feel uneasy. I realized that we had come so far, and that we had waited so long.”

She paused for a moment, then continued, "I know we're not ready, we... it's not the right time yet. But just this once, regardless of whether you're ready now or not, Xiao Qiuzi, I want to push you this once."

"So, Akiko..."

Looking up at Wu Qiu with a smile, Ying slowly revealed the thoughts she had made long ago, under the illumination of countless stars in the sky.

Let's be together...

Chapter 466: Something Went Wrong

"let's be together."

Brothers, I have to change the person in this part. I can't use "Wu Qiu" anymore, I have to use "I." But don't get me wrong, this is just to make the plot more immersive, there's absolutely no other reason.

Of course, don't worry, don't fret! I'll only have two segments, just two, definitely not many, haha! Hahahaha... It's wonderful.

When those words were spoken, I was completely stunned, staring blankly at Ying in front of me. Silence fell; the entire Falling Star Plain seemed frozen in my eyes at that moment.

Looking at the girl in front of me, I still couldn't believe it, I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Yes, I was confessed to! Ying confessed to me! Hahahaha... cough cough!

This wasn't the first time Wu Qiu had been confessed to, and he didn't seem to care much about it. Compared to Lu Xiao's confession at the coronation ceremony, Ying's confession this time was much less impactful and could be described as hasty.

However, Wu Qiu's behavior was completely different. Last time, Wu Qiu was very calm, even somewhat indifferent.

Now, Wu Qiu's heart was pounding. He could clearly feel the excitement in his heart, the rapid heartbeat, and his heavy breathing.

Before he knew it, Wu Qiu's eyes reddened, and a tear rolled down his cheek. In his eyes, it was the first time he had met Ying, the first time they had seen each other, and the first time they had spoken.

How pathetic and useless I was back then. I fooled Ying, deliberately stirred up emotions, and made Ying protect me, constantly holding him back. But Ying never showed any disgust towards me from beginning to end, not even a little bit.

Because of that unreliable remark when they first met, and because of that promise she made when she accepted Fenghen's offer, Ying shielded him from so much, so much. He really owed her so much.

At this moment, Wu Qiu finally couldn't hold back anymore. He cried and slowly knelt down in front of Ying. I reached out and hugged her, holding her waist, my whole body trembling uncontrollably.

I started to hate myself. Why didn't I have the courage to face this relationship when it was so obvious? Ying had been waiting for me all along, but I had forced that relationship onto Canyang, hurting them all.

And now, even at the very end, when that relationship is right in front of him, he still needs Ying to confess to him.

Holding Ying in my arms, I sniffled hard, then uttered a single word in a trembling voice.

"Great..." (That feels so good)

......................................................

Outside, when Wu Qiu and the others woke up, they saw a group of people surrounding them, staring at each other with wide eyes and curiosity.

When Ying woke up, Fengshan Jueyunpai Meng, Fengzai Cangyu, and others surrounded her, their faces full of curiosity. "How was it? What was it like inside? What's the Falling Star Plain like?"

Ying was caught off guard by being surrounded like this. Then she glanced at Wu Qiu.

Wu Qiu decisively stepped forward to block their way.

"Hey everyone, before your curiosity is satisfied, let me announce something."

As he spoke, he glanced at Ying, whose face flushed slightly, a rare occurrence. Ying rarely blushed, and almost always it was because of Wu Qiu.

At first, no one seemed to notice anything amiss, but then they saw Ying lean against Wu Qiu. Wu Qiu gently put his arm around Ying's shoulder and pulled her into his arms. "Um, it's like this, buddy, I'm no longer single! Ahahahahahahaha!!!"

He laughed so wildly. Then, he noticed the scene had quieted down.

"They must have been stunned."

Wu Qiu coughed, about to say something more, when he saw everyone looking at him with curiosity.

"No, you guys, your behavior is wrong."

Everyone looked at each other, then Paimon waved his hand and said, "I'm guessing it was Sister Ying who said it first."

Everyone nodded in agreement, creating a scene of unwavering certainty.

"No, how did you know?"

Wu Qiu was stunned, and Ying next to him lowered her head even further, clearly embarrassed.

"Brother Qiu, we're not stupid. If you had the guts to say it, Sister Ying would have been yours long ago. Why would it have dragged on until after chapter 460?"

Fengshan Jueyun spoke with a smile. Fengzai next to him also chimed in, "Yeah, if you had said so earlier, your wedding would be over by now, and your kids would probably be old enough to run errands. I don't know how you can be so happy now.

Wu Qiu's lips twitched, then he turned to look at Ying. "Is that so?"

Ying's face was already burning hot, but she still coughed and then nudged Wu Qiu in the chest with her elbow. It was a loud thud! Wu Qiu felt like he almost suffocated.

"Cough cough!"

He coughed twice, then saw Ying walk forward, looking at everyone, "Alright, let's go, we have important things to do."

Then they all looked at the coffin over there. According to the system, Zhongli and the others jumped into that large coffin and then traveled through time.
