Genshin Impact: One Hundred Confessions? Just a System Task

And you spoke in such a gentle tone!

He even said something that was almost a confession: "I don't want to cultivate immortality, I want to be with you!"

What a shame!

Shen He felt an unprecedented surge of anger mixed with intense sourness rush to her heart, overwhelming the emotions that had been suppressed by the red rope for many years and were almost dead!

Her hands, hanging by her sides, clenched into fists instantly, her knuckles turning white from the force. Her aura grew uncontrollably colder, and her eyes were so sharp they seemed to burn two holes in Yi Chen's back!

But! She dared not mention Yi Chen!

They dared not go forward to pull him away!

On the one hand, it was indeed "improperly established" and "unjustifiable"; on the other hand, the expression on Yi Chen's face showed only pure concern and joy, seemingly untouched by romantic feelings.

But even so!

It's one thing to be rationally aware, but it's quite another to feel anger and jealousy!

Shen He stared intently at Yi Chen's retreating figure, the dangerous thought uncontrollably resurfacing in his mind once more.

When this woman named Gan Yu is alone, you must slam her head against the ground three times! No! Five times!

Just as undercurrents were swirling and Shen He's murderous aura was about to be ignited by jealousy—

A light cough, meant to sound serious, came from not far away.

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun flapped his wings and slowly landed next to the three of them, his gaze sweeping over the extremely strange triangular formation in front of him.

One person was holding the other's face and asking about their well-being, while the other's cheeks were flushed from being held in their hands, and another was radiating a cold, murderous aura from behind.

“In this pure and tranquil place of immortals, to be pulling and tugging, to be hugging and embracing, is this proper conduct?”

Her gaze fell on Yi Chen's hands, which were still holding Gan Yu's cheeks, and then she glanced at Shen He behind her, who was turning into a "waiting-for-husband stone (murderous version)," and felt a headache coming on.

This is truly... indecent!

But she was actually watching with great interest, and even wanted to take out a handful of sunflower seeds.

Chapter 54 Mondstadt in Trouble

Upon seeing the arrival of True Lord Liuyun, the three of them, as if caught red-handed, hurriedly separated and respectfully bowed to each other.

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun nodded slightly with a reserved air, his gaze sweeping over the three of them before finally settling on Gan Yu.

Gan Yu was taken aback, then remembered the important matter. She quickly took out a letter with a dusty smell from her sleeve and handed it to Yi Chen.

"Yichen, this is a letter that was just delivered from Mondstadt this morning, specifically addressed to you."

Yi Chen took the letter, opened it, and the smile on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a deep frown.

The letter was written in a handwriting that Jean recognized. The wording was precise but could not hide her anxiety. It described in detail the recent frequent attacks by the Stormterror Dvalin on Mondstadt and its surrounding areas, the damage caused, and the panic among the people.

Despite their best efforts, the Knights of Favonius were stretched thin, and the situation was far from optimistic.

Yi Chen suddenly raised his head.

"Mondstadt is in trouble! Stormterror has gone out of control and is attacking the city! I must go back immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Gan Yu immediately covered her mouth, her face filled with worry.

"Wind Demon Dragon? Is that the East Wind Dragon? Attacking the city? Is it dangerous? Yichen, you..."

She instinctively wanted to dissuade him, worried about Yichen's safety, but seeing the unwavering determination in Yichen's eyes, she swallowed her words.

She understood Yichen and knew his feelings for Mondstadt; she knew he would never stand idly by while his homeland was in peril.

Shen He's reaction was more direct and straightforward. Almost the instant Yi Chen finished speaking, she stepped forward without hesitation and stood firmly beside him.

"I'll go with you."

Her fiancé was going to such a dangerous place, so as his fiancée, she naturally had to protect him closely and stay by his side every step of the way!

This is her inescapable responsibility!

As for Mondstadt's crisis?

That's just background; protecting Yichen is the core objective.

Looking at Yi Chen, who had instantly entered battle mode with sharp eyes, and then at Gan Yu, who was worried to the point of tears, and Shen He, who exuded an aura of "husband following wife" and "sworn to follow to the death," Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun understood.

"Since this concerns the safety of our homeland and the suffering of countless lives, I have no reason to stop you. Go ahead, but be careful in everything you do. You can continue your cultivation of immortal arts after you have dealt with this matter."

"Thank you for your kindness, Master!"

Yi Chen gratefully clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.

"but……"

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun subtly changed the subject, his gaze sweeping meaningfully over Shen He, who was determined to go, and Gan Yu, whose face clearly said, "I want to go too, but I'm too embarrassed to say it," before deliberately asking.

Are you planning to go back alone?

This question instantly made the atmosphere, which had just eased slightly, become delicate again.

Shen He's gaze hardened, and Gan Yu hesitated to speak.

However, Yi Chen's thought process once again demonstrated its powerful single-threaded nature at the crucial moment.

In his mind, such a dangerous task as returning to Mondstadt to fight Stormterror was something he should take on alone!

How can we involve Senior Sister or Gan Yu and put them in danger?

Thus, under the watchful eyes of Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun, Shen He, and Gan Yu, each with their own distinct meaning, Yi Chen made almost no hesitation, and his wind elemental power surged instantly!

"The situation is urgent, I have to go now!"

Before he finished speaking, he transformed into a streak of azure wind, soaring into the sky at top speed and hurtling towards Mondstadt. His speed was so great that only a drawn-out sentence remained—

"Bye-Bye--!!!"

Only three figures remained, frozen in place.

Shen He: "…………"

Ganyu: “…………”

True Lord Liuyunjiefeng: “…………”

Shen He and Gan Yu were completely stunned, never expecting that Yi Chen would run away so decisively, even to the point of "abandoning his wife and friends"!

The two subconsciously exchanged a glance, and in each other's astonished eyes, they saw the same disbelief, and... a hint of barely concealed wariness and competitive spirit towards each other.

He actually left alone?!

They didn't bring me/them either!

But... he went to such a dangerous place!

I have to go with her! I can't let her get there first!

It was as if invisible sparks were crackling in the air.

Looking at his two disciples, who were once again locked in a strange stalemate and whose atmosphere was about to explode, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun couldn't help but cover his forehead with his wings.

This...this is such a hands-off manager! How did I get dumped on this mess again?!

So, are we going to fight or what?!

Should I, this immortal, mediate the fight or just watch the show?!

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun felt an unprecedented mental exhaustion.

After a moment's thought, True Monarch Liuyun Jiefeng made a decisive move. With a flap of his wings, an invisible pressure instantly enveloped Shenhe and Ganyu, causing them to stop in their tracks.

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun cleared his throat, regaining the dignity and composure befitting a celestial mentor.

"Shenhe, Ganyu."

Both men looked at her at the same time, their eyes filled with urgency and resentment.

“I understand your intentions.”

Liu Yun borrowed the wind and True Monarch's gaze swept over the two of them.

"However, the matter of the Stormterror is a matter of domestic affairs in Mondstadt. As a member of the Knights of Favonius, it is only natural and reasonable for Yichen to return to his homeland to deal with the crisis."

"But your identities are special. Shen He, you are a disciple of the Liyue Immortal Clan;

Gan Yu, you also possess the blood of a half-immortal and the position of secretary of the Seven Stars.

If you two were to rashly travel to Mondstadt at this moment and intervene in its internal monster calamity, this would be tantamount to interfering in another country's internal affairs, which is both impolite and against protocol, and could easily trigger unnecessary international disputes and misunderstandings.

She deliberately exaggerated the situation, giving Gan Yu a particularly focused look.

“Gan Yu, you should know the stakes best. Although the Seven Stars and the Knights of the West are on good terms, it is no small matter to send armed forces to intervene without authorization.”

Upon hearing this, Gan Yu was speechless.

As a secretary of the Seven Stars, she naturally understood the principle that there are no small matters in diplomacy, and she had simply forgotten this concern in her moment of urgency.

At this moment, awakened by his master, although he was extremely worried about Yichen, he had to admit that his master was right. He could only bite his lip and lower his head unwillingly.

Shen He, however, didn't seem to be buying it.

All she cares about is protecting Yichen; nothing else matters to her.

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhen Jun was well aware of Shen He's thoughts and immediately added.

"Shen He, now that you have entered my immortal sect, you must abide by the rules of the immortals, be careful with your words and deeds, and do not cause trouble for your junior brother, putting him in danger. You will also have to explain and negotiate with Mondstadt regarding your actions!"

These words struck a nerve with Shen He. She could disregard the rules, but she couldn't cause trouble for Yi Chen.

Seeing that the two were finally temporarily subdued, although their faces were still full of reluctance and worry, they had finally given up the idea of ​​chasing after them immediately. Only then did True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng breathe a long sigh of relief.

She gazed at the horizon where Yi Chen had disappeared, shook her head helplessly, and silently murmured to herself:

Sigh, my foolish apprentice...

All I can do for you is temporarily hold off these two "great gods" so you can go back and deal with your family matters in peace.

As for the rest... well, good luck to you.

It seemed that True Monarch Liuyun had already foreseen the bloody scene that Yichen would face after returning from dealing with the Wind Demon Dragon incident.

She flapped her wings and spoke to Shen He and Gan Yu, who were still frozen in place.

"Alright, stop standing here. Shen He, go back and continue your cultivation. Gan Yu, if you have nothing else to do, you should also return to Yuehai Pavilion as soon as possible."

After saying that, she turned around first, flapped her wings and flew away, deciding to avoid seeing it and go back to think carefully about the next step of the "disciple's emotional crisis response plan".

Shen He and Gan Yu were left standing there, gazing in the direction of Mondstadt, each with their own thoughts, worries and jealousy flying at the same time, yet they were temporarily bound by the rules of the immortals.

The mountain wind howled, but it couldn't dispel the increasingly subtle and tense competitive atmosphere between the two.

Chapter 1 The Man Who Shows Off

Dark clouds loomed over Mondstadt, and a fierce wind howled, creating a more oppressive atmosphere than before any storm.

The Stormterror Dragon Dvalin hovered low in the sky, its massive wings whipping up terrifying gusts of air with each flap, snapping trees and tearing off roofs.

Its amber dragon eyes stared painfully at the panicked, fleeing people below, listening to their piercing screams and terrified cries.

Those sounds, like the sharpest knives, pierced its heart.

Aren't we...comrades?

Its gaze swept over the towering statue of Barbatos, over the houses and fields it had silently protected countless times, and over the people who were now looking at it with fear and disgust, even raising their bows and arrows at it.

Together for thousands of years, bathed in the blessings of the wind god, we have jointly protected this land...

Have you all forgotten?

Those songs of laughter in the breeze, those vows made under the starry sky, those sincere feelings I had for you—treating you as my people and my dearest friends—have all vanished with the wind?

A profound sense of injustice and bewilderment overwhelmed Dvalin's reason.

It remembers every time the breeze lifted a child's kite, every time the rain nourished the parched land, and every time the mist shrouded the mountains and forests was dispelled...

It remembers every moment of protection; that is the meaning of its existence as the "Guardian of the Four Winds"!

But what did all of this amount to?

It is oblivion! It is fear! It is cold arrows!
