Genshin Impact: One Hundred Confessions? Just a System Task

This kid... he calls this "having some ability"?!

This is clearly a humanoid, self-propelled, ancient demon god-level strategic weapon!

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun felt his millennia-long cultivation of mental fortitude was about to crumble. She actually wanted to take him back to Mount Aozang and raise him as an ordinary celestial beast cub?!

What if he has a nightmare in the mountains one day, or gets into a fight with someone...? Will she still be able to keep her cave dwelling?!

Can Mount Okuzō still exist?!

After the immense shock came an even heavier sense of responsibility and urgency.

Power itself is neither good nor evil, but such terrifying power is in the hands of a child with a pure heart... If it is led astray or used by villains, the consequences are simply unimaginable!

The way she looked at Yichen had completely changed. She no longer saw him as a cub that needed to be protected, but as a walking nuclear bomb that needed to be guided and restrained with extreme care.

But that care did not disappear; instead, it became more complex and profound.

"Losing money... is not necessary."

The voice of the True Lord Liuyun Borrowing the Wind was slightly hoarse.

“The Guili Plain area is mostly unclaimed land, and landslides are a common occurrence.”

She had already begun subconsciously trying to cover up and make amends for Yi Chen.

This must not be made public! It must be suppressed!

"As for your power..."

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun took a deep breath, his crane-like eyes fixed intently on Yi Chen with utmost seriousness.

"Yichen, you possess such...powerful strength, so you must remember that strength is a means, not an end. Only by upholding righteousness can you live up to the gifts bestowed upon you by Heaven. Never act recklessly because of your own selfish desires or the instigation of others. Do you understand?"

Her tone was more solemn than ever before, even carrying a hint of earnestness.

She desperately wanted the Emperor to know what was happening here immediately!

This child doesn't need ordinary magical guidance, but rather guidance and discipline at a higher level!

Upon hearing that he didn't have to pay compensation, Yi Chen breathed a long sigh of relief, his face instantly brightening and revealing his carefree smile again.

"Understood, understood! Sister Crane, don't worry, I'm a righteous partner of the Knights of Favonius! My fists... uh, my Susanoo, only beat bad guys and... and those who block my path to wealth... uh, that doesn't seem right either..."

He started to get confused as he spoke, and finally patted his chest and declared, "In short, I'm a good person!"

Liuyun Borrowing Wind True Lord: "..."

I can't relax at all! In fact, I'm even more worried!

Gan Yu clutched her chest, looking at her master's incredibly complex gaze and then at Yi Chen's relaxed "problem solved" expression. She felt that the future was... vast and magnificent.

Gan Yu spoke softly, her voice filled with worry.

"This place is not safe to stay for long. Although the commotion just now occurred in the wilderness, it is hard to guarantee that it did not alert others..."

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun immediately reacted, and his immortal power surged once more.

"Let's leave this place first."

A gentle breeze once again swept up the two people and the crane, instantly disappearing into the wilderness of Guili Plain.

About an incense stick's time after Yi Chen, Gan Yu, and Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun left, a golden light flashed in the sky above the wilderness of Gui Li Yuan, and a figure silently landed on the flattened hillside.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze calmly sweeping over the huge, smooth cut beneath his feet, which even still retained a trace of strange, scorching energy. He then looked up at the direction where Yi Chen and the others had disappeared, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"I see……"

"When I noticed that amazing energy burst just now, I thought it was aimed at me. It seems that this mountain was just unlucky and just happened to become the target for that child to demonstrate his power."

Zhongli slowly squatted down, his slender fingers gently stroking the smooth rock face beneath his feet.

The touch from my fingertips was incredibly smooth, and I could even feel the residual, extremely sharp and domineering energy contained within it.

"The level of power... is quite peculiar, its strength is enough to shake mountains, it is indeed impressive. It's just that the control is a bit... casual."

Thinking of Liu Yun and Gan Yu's hurried departure, undoubtedly eager to report back to him, Zhong Li's lips curled into a smile.

That child's temperament seems to need proper training and guidance; otherwise, such power could indeed be a hidden danger.

Although he could clearly sense traces of his old friend Barbatos's power in Yi Chen.

But this did not prevent Zhongli from making a decision at this moment.

"Whatever 'mark' Barbatos left on that child..."

"I want this child."

A young Kirin with such potential, a pure heart, and in dire need of proper guidance is one of the cornerstones that Liyue needs in the future to support the "contract".

Thinking of this, a glimmer of shrewdness flashed in Zhongli's eyes, and his originally distant gaze became more practical.

His retirement plans seem...may be brought forward at the discretion of the authorities.

After all, finding a potential successor who can flatten a small mountain with a single stroke and make Liu Yun and Gan Yu panic at the same time is no easy task.

As for whether the poet in Mondstadt would breathe on his skin.

Zhongli felt that there was no major problem.

Chapter 9 You're a good fighter?

When Yichen and his companions returned to Liyue Harbor, the setting sun had already painted the clouds on the horizon a brilliant orange-red, and thousands of sails were returning to port, with lights just beginning to twinkle; it was already dusk.

With important matters on his mind, True Lord Liuyun Borrowed the Wind hurriedly gave Yichen a brief instruction as soon as he landed.

"I will go and report the situation to the Emperor. You... take care of yourself and do not use that power lightly again."

Then, his immortal form vanished into thin air, transforming into a streak of light and disappearing swiftly into the horizon.

Although Gan Yu was also full of worries, the General Affairs Department had a mountain of paperwork to do, so she gave Yi Chen an apologetic look.

“Mr. Yichen, I still have some official business to attend to. Please be careful with today’s matter.”

After receiving a reassuring look from Yichen (though she wasn't at all at ease), she quickly left.

So, Yichen strolled back alone to the inn where the Knights of Favonius delegation was staying.

As soon as he stepped into the yard, he saw Kaiya leaning against a pillar on the porch, with a tense expression on his face that said, "I saw everything."

"Oh dear,"

Kaiya drawled out his words, his teasing almost overflowing.

"Our busy man is back? It's only the first day, and he's already having a great chat with that elegant secretary. In the afternoon, they even went for a walk together until dusk... Tsk tsk tsk."

He took a few steps closer, nudged Yi Chen lightly with his elbow, and chuckled in a low voice.

"It seems our title of 'Mundane's most affectionate person' is about to become 'Liyue's most affectionate person'?"

So, is your target this time that blue-haired Kirin girl? How long do you plan to take to complete your hundredth confession?

Need some Liyue-style dating advice from me? Price's negotiable!

Normally, Yi Chen would inevitably exchange a few words with him, or retaliate with an elbow strike.

But at this moment, he was in a strange state of wanting to show off.

Yi Chen raised his chin slightly, looked down at Kaiya with his nostrils, and let out a haughty snort:

"Ha, Yuan Rang, you really underestimate me. All you know is love and romance, how vulgar!"

He paused, straightened his back, and tried to make himself look more imposing.

"Let me tell you, Miss Gan Yu and I were just having a friendly exchange between people of the same race! People of the same race! Understand? I'm a Qilin! A divine beast! Awesome, right? I'm not even on the same level as a mere mortal like you!"

Yi Chen had expected to see Kaiya's shocked, admiring, or at least enlightened expression.

To everyone's surprise, after hearing this, Kaiya's one eye widened suddenly, his face instantly filled with an extremely exaggerated shock, as if he had heard something earth-shattering. He abruptly took a step back, pointed at Yichen, and raised his voice eight octaves:

"You...you really aren't human?! Yi Chen! You're truly not human!"

Yi Chen: "..." My fist hardened.jpg

Just as Yi Chen's eye twitched, preparing to let this foul-mouthed cavalry captain experience the "Divine Beast Elbow Strike" firsthand, a West Wind Knight rushed in, his voice urgent:

"It's bad, Captain Kaeya! The Fatui's advance party is here! They're near the docks, and they seem to want to see the Liyue Seven Stars and our leader. They don't seem to have any good intentions!"

The playful and joking expression on Kaiya's face vanished instantly, and a sharp glint flashed in his single eye.

"The Fools... at this very moment."

He muttered to himself, then gave the order to the knight.

"Got it. Let's go see what tricks they're up to."

He turned and walked outside.

Yi Chen immediately abandoned his playful thoughts with Kaiya and followed behind him expressionlessly.

The fools, these troublemakers, are here to cause trouble. Their purpose is obvious even to a fool.

They simply can't stand seeing Mondstadt and Liyue getting closer, so they're trying every possible way to disrupt and sabotage this diplomatic meeting.

They might even be trying to gather intelligence or cause trouble for both sides.

Although Yichen's primary purpose in coming to Liyue was to learn the "way to make money" and earn enough to live a comfortable retirement.

If anyone wants to cause trouble for the Knights of Favonius, or try to create problems for his beloved Grand Master Jean...

He will not tolerate that.

When Yichen and Kaiya arrived at the inn, the sight before them made Kaiya's single eye narrow instantly, while Yichen's gaze turned completely cold.

There stood Tartaglia, the eleventh seat of the Fatui's executive officer, looking relaxed and carefree, with several Fatui advance team members behind him.

At his feet lay three or four Knights of Favonius, groaning in pain, clearly having been taken down instantly.

A circle of Liyue citizens and merchants, though hesitant to approach, were gathered at a distance, their curiosity irresistible.

Young master, your purpose in coming here is clear.

Firstly, he wanted to personally assess the strength of the Knights of Favonius.

Secondly, if they could take this opportunity to sabotage the peace talks between Mondstadt and Liyue and create some diplomatic friction, that would be even better.

After all, the Mondstadt delegation being injured in a "sparring" match with the Fatui Enforcers in Liyue was, by all accounts, a diplomatic incident.

D'Artagnan flicked his wrist, a smile on his face that seemed sunny but was utterly devoid of warmth.

"I've long heard that the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt are full of talented people, but unfortunately, I've been tied up with various trivial matters and haven't had the chance to meet them yet."

His gaze swept over the knight lying on the ground, his contempt undisguised.

"Now it seems, it's nothing special."

As he spoke, he seemed to think that wasn't enough, and he raised his foot, intending to symbolically and insultingly kick the nearest fallen knight.

However, his foot had not yet landed—

A dark shadow flashed by like a ghost!

The speed was so fast that almost no one present could see the movements clearly!

The next moment, Yi Chen's figure stood like an iron wall in front of the fallen knight, his right leg sweeping out like a steel whip, hitting the young master's shin with perfect accuracy!

A dull thud of flesh colliding rang out, and both men staggered, each taking half a step back, showing that they were evenly matched!

The young master's relaxed and playful smile faltered slightly. Feeling the faint pain in his shinbone and the domineering force emanating from the other's leg, his eyes, instead of being angry, instantly flashed with extreme excitement and a predatory gleam!

He was just ordered to go through the motions and stir up trouble, but he never expected to actually run into a big fish!

This power... pure and violent, it's just to his liking!

Yi Chen slowly withdrew his leg, stood still, and spoke in a voice so cold it seemed to freeze the air:

"You think you're a good fighter?"

The young master licked his lips, his smile growing more dangerous and filled with fighting spirit. He sized up Yi Chen as if admiring a perfect prey:

"That's right, I just think I can fight."

He readily admitted that the excitement in his voice was almost impossible to suppress.

"May I ask who you are? I don't recall ever hearing of you in the Knights of Favonius."

At this moment, Kaiya quickly stepped forward and spoke before Yichen could introduce himself:
