Genshin Impact: One Hundred Confessions? Just a System Task

It was a giant crane with a graceful figure and an ethereal aura.

Its feathers are as white as snow, but the tips of its wings and tail feathers have a metallic bluish-black sheen. Its neck is long and elegant, and its eyes are sharp and full of wisdom. You can tell at a glance that it is no ordinary bird.

This crane is none other than the True Lord of Retaining Clouds and Borrowing Wind.

When Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun's sharp crane eyes fell on Yi Chen, they softened considerably.

Looking at Yichen's bewildered and dazed appearance after being woken up, she seemed to see, for a moment, the same clumsy and shy little Ganyu from thousands of years ago, when she had just brought her to her side.

What a... well, you can't help but worry about that little cub.

Moreover, her aura was so pure and approachable, seemingly even more innocent and naive than Gan Yu was when she was a child.

“Little guy,”

Liuyun Borrowing Wind True Lord spoke.

"What's your name?"

Although Yi Chen was still sleepy, he still maintained basic manners.

He immediately stood up and bowed respectfully to the enormous crane before him.

"Hello, Sister Crane, my name is Yichen."

That cry of "Sister Crane" made True Lord Liuyun Borrowing Wind feel completely at ease, and the satisfaction on his face was almost overflowing.

"Hmm, Yichen... very good, very polite."

The more she looked at Yichen, the more she felt a connection with him, and her desire to take him under her wing and care for him grew stronger.

"Gan Yu has already told me the general details of your situation."

Liuyun Borrowing Wind True Lord's tone softened.

“This matter is indeed of great importance. I will find an opportunity as soon as possible to report to the Emperor in person.”

She paused, looked into Yi Chen's clear eyes, and made a suggestion that seemed perfectly natural to her, a tremendous opportunity for any descendant of a celestial beast:

"Yichen, it's a pity that you, with such a refined and spiritual bloodline, are left to wander in the mortal realm, easily attracting covetous eyes. Why not come back to Mount Aozang with me to cultivate? The immortal caves are quiet and peaceful, which will greatly benefit your awakening of your bloodline and the consolidation of your foundation. Are you willing to cultivate immortality with me?"

In her mind, even if the cub wasn't overjoyed, it should at least have given it serious consideration.

However, Yi Chen's reaction once again surprised her.

He shook his head very decisively, even showing a hint of confusion on his face as if to say, "Why would you make such a suggestion?"

"No, no, thank you for your kindness, True Lord. I came to Liyue to learn how to make money; cultivating immortality... I won't consider it for now."

Liuyun Borrowing Wind True Lord: "..."

Gan Yu: "..." (Here we go again!)

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun's elegant crane-like neck seemed to stiffen for a moment, as if she had misheard.

Cultivating immortality is not as good as making money?!

Does this child know how many people would beg for such a divine opportunity?!

The threshold of Mount Aozang has been worn down by seekers of immortality, and she took the initiative to speak up, only to be rejected for... such a reason?!

Gan Yu closed her eyes in anguish, unable to bear the sight of her master's expression.

The air seemed to freeze for a few seconds.

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun took a deep breath, trying his best to maintain his immortal demeanor.

"Bricks, making money? Yi Chen, you cultivate immortality and seek eternal life, roaming freely across the world. How can mortal Mora measure that? If your cultivation is successful, turning stone into gold will not be difficult for you. Why bother..."

“Midas turned into gold?!”

Yi Chen's eyes instantly lit up like two small light bulbs.

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun: "I..." (I was just using an analogy! Your Majesty, what's wrong with this child?!)

Gan Yu quickly stepped forward, gently tugging at Yi Chen's sleeve, trying to stop him from continuing to play on his master's nerves, and whispered urgently.

"Mr. Yi, Mr. Yichen! Turning stone into gold is not that simple, and it goes against the natural order and common sense..."

Looking at the Qilin cub in front of him, whose mind was filled with nothing but Mora, who had discarded the supreme immortal destiny as if it were worthless, yet who possessed an unparalleled bloodline, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun felt for the first time a deep sense of powerlessness called "parenting frustration".

This child... is much harder to raise than Gan Yu was when she was little!

"No, Miss Gan Yu,"

Yi Chen shook his head.

"Bearing the hopes of the people of Mondstadt, I must learn the way to make money!"

He paused, then looked at Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun, his face regaining that bright, sunny smile that could infuriate even immortals.

"Furthermore, I haven't really considered cultivating immortality. Because—"

"—I'm very strong."

The air was quiet for a moment.

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun's elegant and slender crane-like neck tilted slightly.

"This child is probably still half asleep."

Gan Yu, meanwhile, was holding her forehead with one hand and had already begun to pray silently.

"How powerful? Could it be... capable of moving mountains and filling seas?"

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun's question was naturally tinged with a bit of teasing. Even immortals find it difficult to do this, let alone a cub whose bloodline has not yet awakened.

"That's impossible,"

Yi Chen honestly admitted it, but his confidence remained undiminished. On the contrary, he became even more serious because of the questioning.

"However, I'm really strong! I'm especially good at fighting!"

He looked at the obviously disbelieving look in Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun's eyes and Gan Yu's worried expression, as if "the child is talking nonsense again."

"If you don't believe me,"

Yi Chen looked around and decided that the main street of Feiyun Slope was clearly not the place to use his skills.

“We can go to a more spacious place, I’ll show you! I guarantee you’ll be amazed!”

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun and Gan Yu exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness, curiosity, and a hint of indulgence in each other's eyes, as if thinking, "Let's play with the child."

Fine, let this kid demonstrate his so-called "strength," so that he'll know there's always someone better, and maybe then he'll be able to calm down and start thinking about cultivating immortality.

Lord Liuyun Borrows the Wind nodded slightly.

"The area outside Liyue Harbor, around Guili Plains, is quite open, so let's go there."

After saying that, she slightly moved her immortal power, gesturing for Yichen and Ganyu to come closer.

Gan Yu gently pulled Yi Chen's arm: "Mr. Yi Chen, stand firm."

Half an hour later, the two unicorns and the crane had left the bustling Liyue Harbor and found themselves in a vast wilderness.

Ancient ruins and scattered reeds can be seen in the distance, offering an extremely wide view.

"This place will suffice."

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun landed gracefully and looked at Yi Chen.

"Little fellow, let me see just how 'strong' you really are."

Even so, the eyes of True Lord Liuyun still held the tolerance of an elder watching a junior play.

Yi Chen nodded, quickly walked to the center of an open space, and solemnly stretched his wrists and ankles, doing a few warm-up exercises.

Gan Yu couldn't help but whisper a reminder: "Mr. Yichen, please be careful and act within your capabilities..."

"Don't worry!"

Yi Chen gave her a no-questions-asked gesture, then closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again—

What beautiful yet eerie eyes they were!

The original black pupils have been replaced by intricate patterns, and just looking into them gives one a chilling feeling as if their very soul has been seen through!

Mangekyō Sharingan!

Both Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun and Gan Yu were taken aback; the aura of this power was incredibly strong.

Immediately afterward, Yi Chen whispered a command.

"Complete Susanoo!"

boom--! ! !

An unimaginable surge of immense energy erupted from his body!

A dazzling, blinding purple light shot into the sky, rapidly coalescing and forming!

A gigantic, purple giant, resembling a demon from mythology, appeared out of thin air!

It was clad in ancient and majestic armor, with its bones, meridians, and muscles clearly visible, and its immense elemental power boiling around it like burning purple flames!

Just by standing there, the oppressive feeling it exudes almost makes the surrounding air freeze!

The sudden appearance of such a towering giant in the wilderness of Guili Plain was a truly terrifying visual shock!

The composure and teasing in Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by utter shock!

Gan Yu covered her mouth, staring in disbelief at the unimaginable creation before her!

However, what happened next left them even more dumbfounded.

Under Yi Chen's control, the purple giant slowly drew out an enormous katana made of the same purple energy!

Yi Chen's gaze was fixed on a small, uninhabited hill in the distance, which was not very high but could definitely be described as majestic.

There was no earth-shattering roar, only a sharp buzzing sound that made your teeth ache and seemed to cut through space itself!

The purple giant blade drew a perfect arc, like a hot knife through butter, and silently swept across the peak of the hill!

The next moment, the entire summit of the hill, along its smooth, mirror-like surface, slowly, slowly slid down, finally crashing onto the ground with a thunderous roar, kicking up clouds of dust!

One stroke! Flattened a mountain!

A deathly silence fell over the wilderness. Only the rustling of the wind and the echoing sound of a distant landslide could be heard.

Yi Chen deactivated Susanoo, and the kaleidoscope pattern in his eyes slowly faded, returning to his usual black eyes.

He clapped his hands, a hint of smugness on his face, and looked expectantly at the two petrified spectators:

"How about it? You've got some skill, haven't you?"

Liuyun Borrowing Wind True Lord: "..."

Gan Yu: "..."

Their brains seemed to stop working simultaneously, unable to process the terrifying information they had just received.

Having some ability?! Is that what you call having some ability?!

This is already a power worthy of being recorded in the Demon God War!

Seeing Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun completely frozen, even his beak slightly open, and Gan Yu's pale face as if she were about to faint, Yi Chen's smugness gradually disappeared.

He blinked, then suddenly realized a very, very serious problem. His face fell instantly, and his voice trembled with tears:

"Wait, what's with your expressions... I... I'm not going to... have to pay money?! That mountain... is it very expensive?! Oh no, Mora hasn't even earned anything yet, and we're already in debt for a fortune!"

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun finally recovered from his extreme shock, and upon hearing Yi Chen's words, he almost choked on his own breath.

Pay...pay me money?!

Is this what you're thinking about now?!

Chapter 8 Wendy: Wow, there's a cow!

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun coughed suddenly, as if he had choked on his own immortal power.

She looked at the smooth, flat mountainside in the distance, still emitting a slight cloud of dust, and then at the black-haired young man in front of her, who was looking miserable and worried about losing everything.

At that moment, all the "infant filter" and "pity and tenderness" were shattered by that earth-shattering blow, leaving only overwhelming shock and a lingering fear that was almost terrifying.
