Genshin Impact: One Hundred Confessions? Just a System Task

Gan Yu felt as if her heart was being squeezed tightly by an invisible hand, and her breath caught in her throat.

Another world...

Although I had a premonition, hearing him say those words so calmly was far more impactful than I had imagined.

So it turns out... he really did grow up all alone.

It turns out that his complete ignorance of his own bloodline was not due to a lack of instruction, but because... there was simply no one to teach him.

Overwhelmed by immense heartache and guilt, Gan Yu was instantly overwhelmed.

She had so carelessly touched upon his pain of losing his parents!

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Yichen! I shouldn't have asked that!"

Gan Yu hurriedly apologized, feeling somewhat at a loss.

"it's okay no problem,"

Yi Chen waved his hand dismissively, and instead urged,

"What's there to apologize for? So, Ms. Gan Yu, tell me quickly! What's going on with this role of yours? What does it have to do with me? I feel like you're particularly concerned about this."

He looked at Gan Yu with clear eyes, filled only with pure curiosity, without the slightest hint of gloom.

Seeing him like this, Gan Yu felt an overwhelming pang of sorrow.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her turbulent emotions, and organized her thoughts before explaining in the gentlest and clearest tone possible:

"If my senses are not mistaken... Mr. Yichen also possesses the bloodline of the Qilin, right?"

She carefully confirmed it.

Yi Chen nodded, not denying it.

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Gan Yu sighed softly, her eyes softening further.

"As expected... These two horns are not headdresses, but one of the prominent characteristics of the Immortal Lin clan's bloodline."

She lowered her head slightly so he could see her more clearly.

"Just like my blue hair and your black hair, it's something we were born with."

"We Qilin are a race of celestial beasts born from the auspiciousness of heaven and earth. We have long lifespans and precious bloodlines. Twenty years old... is considered adulthood for humans, but for us Qilin, it is indeed still a very, very young stage."

She raised her eyes and looked at Yichen again.

"So, Mr. Yichen, please forgive my previous rudeness. I didn't treat you as an ignorant child, it's just... knowing that you grew up alone and know very little about your own bloodline, I couldn't help but..."

"If you don't mind, you can come to me if you have any questions about bloodline power or need any help in Liyue in the future."

"After all, in a sense, we... are of the same race."

Chapter 6 God of Wealth

"I see."

Looking at Gan Yu's tearful appearance, as if he had suffered a great injustice, Yi Chen nodded thoughtfully, finally understanding why Xiao and Gan Yu had given each other such strange looks last night and today.

Most likely, they heard that his parents had passed away, and their sympathy overflowed, so they treated him like a poor little thing who needed extra care.

"Miss Gan Yu, you don't need to treat me like a child,"

Yi Chen tried to appear more reliable by straightening his back.

"I'm capable of handling things on my own now."

He's the assistant to the Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, and he just bought a house!

As Gan Yu listened to his "mature" declaration and watched his expression as he tried to appear reliable, her expression not only didn't soften, but became even more... kind.

Those eyes seemed to say, "Mmm, baby, you're so great, you can live independently now."

Yi Chen shook his head helplessly, giving up on explaining.

Oh well, let them think what they want.

His attention quickly returned to those beautiful horns.

"But honestly, I really want those cool horns too. Will they hurt a lot when they grow?"

Gan Yu was pulled back to her senses by his abrupt change of thought. She gently wiped away the faint moisture from the corners of her eyes and patiently explained.

"Mr. Yichen is probably still too young, so his bloodline characteristics have not yet fully manifested. After all, in my perception, although your aura is extremely pure, it seems to be in a state of... dormancy and restraint."

She hesitated for a moment, then offered a suggestion, her voice even softer and filled with caution, as if afraid of startling him.

"If... if you don't mind, Mr. Yichen, could you give me a drop of your blood? Just one drop will do. Perhaps... I can use it to help you assess the extent of your bloodline awakening."

She wanted to understand the child's condition more clearly.

"Okay, no problem."

Yi Chen agreed very readily. Without hesitation, he lowered his head and gently bit his fingertip with his teeth, and a bright red bead of blood immediately seeped out.

Gan Yu carefully extended her finger and touched the drop of blood very gently, guiding it to her fingertip.

However, at the very moment that drop of blood touched her fingertip—

An unimaginable, extremely pure, and boundless auspicious power, like a gentle yet irresistible tide, instantly surged into her senses!

Gan Yu felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

This, how is this possible? !

This is just a drop of blood from a random bite!

The Qilin's primordial power contained within it, its purity, its concentration... it's almost catching up with the essence blood she painstakingly cultivated for a thousand years?!

This is no longer an ordinary pure bloodline!

This little guy...could he be one of those legendary, once-in-a-millennium... beings with ancestral bloodlines?!

Possessing the most perfect source bloodline closest to the progenitor?!

What a huge uproar this news will cause in Liyue, and even Teyvat!

How many malicious eyes will he be staring at?!

A storm raged through Gan Yu's heart, and the immense shock was immediately replaced by an even stronger panic.

Almost instinctively, she immediately mobilized all her immortal power to forcefully seal and cover up the astonishing aura emanating from that drop of blood, which was enough to stir up the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, not allowing even the slightest bit of it to leak out!

After doing all this, Gan Yu was shocked to find a layer of cold sweat on her back.

She abruptly looked up, grabbed Yichen's wrist, and her voice, filled with extreme fear and tension, became sterner than ever before:

"Yi Chen! Your blood... is so special! Has anyone else besides me seen it?! Or rather, have you given your blood to anyone else?!"

Her heart pounded like a drum, fearing she would hear an even worse answer.

Yi Chen was a little confused by her sudden sternness. He blinked and answered honestly.

"I've seen him. Last night I treated a hermit named Xiao, I bled quite a bit, and it seemed to work pretty well?"

"Xiao... So it was that person."

Upon hearing that it was the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons, Gan Yu's tense nerves relaxed slightly. At least Xiao was absolutely trustworthy, and given his personality, he would never reveal it to outsiders.

But just the words "a lot of blood was lost" made her vision go black again, and she could almost imagine how "tragic" the scene must have been.

Does this child even realize how precious he is?!

However, before Gan Yu could fully relax, perhaps because Yi Chen mentioned Xiao's name, or perhaps because that drop of bloodline aura, which Gan Yu had tried so hard to conceal but was still incredibly special, acted like a lighthouse in the darkness and eventually alerted the Yaksha Immortal who was always watching over this place.

The next moment, a gentle breeze swirled, and a figure suddenly appeared beside the dining table as if tearing through space, bringing with him a chilling aura.

Xiao, wielding both the sword and the kite, immediately locked onto Yi Chen.

"Yichen! You called me? What is it? Have you encountered danger?"

His gaze swept quickly across the scene, and he saw Yi Chen sitting there unharmed, with only a barely noticeable red dot on his finger, while the Seven Star Secretary opposite him was pale and nervously gripping Yi Chen's wrist.

Xiao's brows furrowed instantly, his aura turning even colder as he cast a scrutinizing gaze at Gan Yu.

Gan Yu: "..."

Yi Chen: "Wow, so fast?"

After a moment, with Gan Yu's concise explanation (but omitting details about bloodline purity), Xiao understood that it was just a false alarm and that no enemy was attacking.

He gave Yi Chen a deep look, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just nodded slightly to Gan Yu and left a message.

"Since there is no danger, I will leave. If there is any unusual activity, please call me immediately."

It transformed into a wisp of blue karmic wind and vanished instantly, coming and going like the wind, leaving no trace.

Only Yichen and Ganyu remained at the dining table.

Gan Yu looked down at the drop of blood on her fingertip, which had been completely sealed by her immortal power and whose radiance was restrained, yet still made her heart pound. Her eyes were filled with solemnity and worry.

This child is unaware of the immense treasure he possesses, and his mind is frighteningly naive; he's like an infant carrying a mountain of Mora while walking through a bustling city.

Can she really protect him all by herself?

Liyue Harbor may appear calm, but it is actually rife with undercurrents, far more turbulent than Mondstadt.

Gan Yu hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Yi Chen, who was picking up a matsutake mushroom stuffed meat roll and preparing to put it in his mouth.

“Yichen…the matter concerning your bloodline is of utmost importance. I…I am somewhat worried about you.”

She paused, observing Yichen's reaction, and her voice softened.

"May I inform my master about this, or... report it to the Emperor? They are knowledgeable and will surely be able to provide you with better guidance and protection."

Gan Yu's worried expression, as if she was afraid that her child would be tricked away with candy by bad people at any moment, made Yi Chen feel both helpless and a little amused.

So he swallowed the food in his mouth and nodded readily.

"Sure! No problem! You can meet with anyone you want!"

However, his next words immediately made Gan Yu's heart jump again, and she almost choked on her own saliva.

"Especially the Emperor!"

Yi Chen's eyes lit up instantly, as if he had spotted a huge business opportunity.

"After all, he's the God of Wealth. I really want to learn how to make money from him."

Gan Yu: "!!!"

She could almost picture Yichen holding a pile of shabby "antiques" or listening to some outrageous project "personally recommended by the Rock King Emperor, guaranteed to retain value," his eyes gleaming as he pulled out all his Mora, only to lose everything and be helplessly watched by the Emperor himself...

no! Absolutely not!

Before the Emperor gives clear instructions, we must keep a close eye on this child and absolutely not let him approach the Emperor with such dangerous thoughts!

Gan Yu took a deep breath, trying her best to maintain a gentle and reliable expression.

"Mr. Yi, Mr. Yichen, regarding... asking the Emperor for advice on how to make money, perhaps... perhaps we can discuss this further. The most urgent matter is to ensure your safety first."

She quickly and carefully put away the sealed drop of blood and stood up.

"I will go find my master immediately and report this matter as soon as possible. Mr. Yichen, you...you can have your meal here for now, but please do not mention your bloodline to anyone, and please do not...give blood to others so easily again, okay?"

Her tone was almost like she was telling a three-year-old not to go with strangers.

Although Yi Chen felt she was making a mountain out of a molehill, he still nodded in agreement.

"Oh, okay. Then hurry back, these dishes taste really good!"

Gan Yu watched him carefree as he began to enjoy his food again, sighed with mixed feelings, and turned to leave in a hurry.

We must find the True Lord of Cloud Retention and Wind Borrowing immediately! Or find a way to contact the Supreme Lord!

This incredibly precious yet perpetually troublesome Kirin cub from Mondstadt is truly a cause for concern!

Chapter 7 I'm very strong!

After a long while, Yi Chen, having eaten and drunk his fill, sat on a bench by the roadside. The warm afternoon sun shone on him, making him nod his head repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice, feeling drowsy.

Just as his eyelids were about to close completely, a delicate lotus fragrance, accompanied by a slight unusual air current, approached.

Yi Chen struggled to keep his eyes open, only to see Gan Yu return, her face still showing lingering urgency. Beside her was an extremely conspicuous "person"—
