Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

Facing Fernina's worries, Fukaros smiled calmly and said softly, "Fernina, believe in Villette. His persistent pursuit of justice will allow him to make the right choice at the critical moment. Don't forget that he has established a deep connection with the people of Fontaine over the past five hundred years. This bond will become a powerful motivation for him to protect Fontaine."

Funina took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down: "Okay, maybe I think too much."

Fukaros patted Funina's shoulder gently, his eyes full of tenderness and encouragement: "You have endured too much in the past five hundred years. Now the plan is about to enter a critical stage, so relax. We have worked together for so long, and the dawn of victory is just around the corner."

"Yeah." Furninna responded in a dull tone.

Seeing that Funina was still a little confused, Su Xun took her hand and said gently, "Don't think too much. I'm here. No matter whether Violet is willing to help us or not, I will stand by you and accompany you to face all the problems together."

The warmth from Su Xun's palm gradually calmed Funina's originally panicked heart.

"Well... thank you, Su Xun." Funina said softly with a smile on her face.

"Okay, now that we have finished talking about things, I should go back and instruct the Cardinals to continue to speed up the collection of the Law Compensation Energy." Fucaros said, and without waiting for the two to reply, his figure gradually faded and disappeared into the mirror.

Funina was stunned for a moment, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

Why did Fukaros leave so soon? This was her first time meeting Su Xun, didn't she plan to get to know him better?

Su Xun was also a little surprised. He thought Fucaros would give him some more key information, or make further arrangements for the specific steps of the follow-up plan. He didn't expect her to leave so abruptly.

It seems that Fucaros is confident about his plan and firmly believes that we can do our respective parts well, Su Xun thought thoughtfully.

Without thinking much, he turned to look at Funina.

"Are you busy today? Do you want to go home and spend time with Xiao Yue'er?"

Hearing this, Funina was slightly startled, then nodded and smiled.

"Okay! There's not much work to do today anyway, so let's save it for tomorrow."

……

Liyue, Su Mansion.

The fragrance of colorful flowers wafted through the courtyard, and the copper bells hanging under the eaves jingled in the wind.

When Funina arrived, she saw Shen He sitting in front of the jade table, his long snow-white hair cascading on his shoulders like moonlight, and half of his little face poking out of the swaddling clothes in his arms.

"Shen——" Just as Fu Ningna was about to speak, Su Xun covered her mouth.

The young man put his index finger to his lips and tiptoed around behind Shen He.

Through the woman's shoulder, he saw his daughter's pink little hands clutching her mother's drooping hair, her fair eyes sparkling with tiny bits of gold in the sun.

"Yuer just fell asleep." Shen He said softly.

Funina squatted beside the jade table, holding her chin and looking at Xiao Yue'er's slightly flaring nostrils.

Gui Zhong, who was sitting nearby, smiled and pushed the celadon teacup to the center of the table. The tea soup reflected the faint light of the gilded bell on the eaves.

She tapped the table with her fingertips, and an ingenious mechanical doll came slowly from the end of the corridor carrying snacks, but it made no sound.

It quietly placed the snacks on the table, and the almond tofu trembled slightly in the celadon plate.

Gui Zhong adjusted the position of the glass cup with his fingertips, and the tassels hanging from his temples swayed slightly with his movements: "The lotus root powder from Qingce Manor is of excellent quality. When Yue'er celebrates her 100th day..."

There were brisk footsteps in the wooden corridor.

Hu Tao walked slowly, holding her waist. The wide hem of her coat cleverly concealed her eight-month pregnancy. Only the red plum blossoms in her hair trembled with her steps.

She sat down next to Shen He familiarly, and when she reached out to grab the lotus pastry, Gui Zhong gently patted her hand away.

"The almond soup is warming up in the kitchen." Gui Zhong pushed the tea that had been cooled to a suitable temperature over to him, "Sweets should be eaten in moderation."

Just as Kurumi was about to protest, she suddenly saw Raiden Mei coming out from the Moon Cave Gate.

The dark purple furisode kimono was embroidered with fine thunder patterns, and the tray in her hand was filled with Inazuma's special three-color dango.

As she placed the snacks in front of Funina, she glanced at Walnut's pregnant belly and said, "You can't eat it."

"Oh~ Husband~" Hu Tao turned and threw herself into Su Xun's arms, the scarlet plum blossom hairpin swaying with her movements, "Look at Mei Yi, she's really going too far!"

Su Xun helped Hu Tao sit down beside the jade table, and gently stroked her waist with his palm: "You should eat less sweet food during pregnancy."

His fingertips gently touched her bulging abdomen, and he could feel the vigorous vitality pulsating through the clothes. "There is a medicinal meal stewing on the stove. Can I feed it to you later?"

There was a slight sound of a mechanism turning in the corridor.

Gui Zhong adjusted the temperature of the jade teapot, and the fragrance of colorful flowers rose from the gilded incense burner. "Ningguang had a new cabinet made for her delivered this morning. She said it was for Yue Er to put the items for her 18th birthday celebration."

She tapped the table with her fingertips, and a mechanical puppet came over carrying a miniature model of Liyue Harbor. The 3,600 secret grids were engraved with totems of the seven nations, including the Inazuma Thunder Pattern and Mondstadt Wind Wings.

Shen He raised his head upon hearing this, and ripples appeared in his eyes.

She lowered her head to gaze at the sleeping baby in her arms, her fingertips gently brushing across the light blue birthmark on her daughter's forehead - it was a mark from immortal blood, glowing like moonlight in the sun.

The model of Liyue Harbor held up by the mechanical puppet was exquisite. Gui Zhong's white fingertips brushed over the raised corners and eaves, and the gilded mechanism unfolded layer by layer, revealing a secret compartment inside that was carved with the customs of the Seven Kingdoms.

"Ningguang said that each secret compartment corresponds to a professional heritage in Teyvat. Which mechanism Yue'er encounters during the one-year-old ceremony will foretell her future path."

Hu Tao leaned in for a closer look, the red plum blossoms in her hair almost touching the pointed roof of the golden house on the model: "The mark of the Hall of Rebirth is engraved on the southeast corner of the third floor? It fits the position of 'rebirth'."

She suddenly smiled slyly, "If Yue'er catches the mark of the Wangsheng Hall, I will accept her as a candidate for the 78th generation hall master."

Mei Raiden placed the three-colored dumplings on the jade table. Her purple sleeves swept across the table, creating a subtle flash of lightning. "Inazuma's sword-forging technique and tea ceremony are engraved on the sixth floor."

She lowered her eyes to look at the baby in the cradle, her stern brows softening for a rare moment, "The shogunate recently acquired a piece of excellent Leiying wood core, which is just right for carving into a longevity lock to ward off evil."

Gui Zhong chuckled, and put away the model as the mechanism on his fingertips turned: "The one who gets the first birthday is ultimately determined by fate. Liu Yun said before that when my husband was in Jueyunjian..."

She suddenly stopped and gave Su Xun a teasing look.

Su Xun, who was massaging Hu Tao's waist, paused for a moment, as memories of twenty years ago came flooding back to him - he had just been adopted by Grandma Ping at that time, and when he was doing the one-year-old ceremony in the cave of Master Liuyun Jiefeng, he unexpectedly grabbed the models of various immortal artifacts at the same time, shocking the immortals so much that they started to calculate his fortune.

"Master always says that you are 'biting off more than you can chew'." Xiangling's voice came from outside the Moon Cave. The girl still had the Wanmin Hall apron tied around her waist, and the food box in her hand wafted the fresh aroma of crystal shrimps: "But you say this is called 'all-inclusive'!"

Yaoyao followed behind, holding Yuegui in her arms. Hearing this, she raised her little hand and pointed at the model: "Sister Yue'er will definitely grab the glitteriest one! Last time, she stared at Master's Dust-Clearing Bell for a long time."

While everyone was laughing and talking, Shen He suddenly felt his arms lighten.

The sleeping baby opened his eyes at some point, and his little hands, like lotus roots, were clutching the ends of Mei Raiden's falling hair.

His obsidian eyes reflected seven colors of light, and he actually stretched out his other hand to reach for the glazed lily on Gui Zhong's temples.

"It seems that our Yue'er wants to catch more than one thing." Gui Zhong smiled and used the earthly chain to transform into a gilded rattle, "It has the style of her father back then."

Just as Su Xun was about to speak, Hu Tao in his arms suddenly snorted.

He quickly reached out and touched his wife's bulging belly. His powerful perception instantly enveloped the entire courtyard. The powerful pulse of the new life was transmitted through the fabric, resonating wonderfully with the weak immortal power in Yue'er's body.

"This little guy is really impatient." Walnut rubbed her belly and chuckled, "It seems that he can't wait to see his sister."

As the setting sun gilded Liyue Harbor, everyone began to rest.

Shen He held Yue'er in his arms and stood in the corridor, watching the model of the Guizhong debugging mechanism. Suddenly, he asked softly, "Husband, did you really catch several immortal weapons at the same time?"

Su Xun hugged his wife and daughter from behind, and rested his chin on Shen He's shoulder: "It is true."

He looked at his daughter's little hand holding his finger, with a gentle smile in his eyes: "But our Yue Er will definitely have her own legend."

In the twilight, the projection of the Qun Yu Pavilion passed over the Su Mansion.

Ningguang stood in front of the Yuheng screen, her fingertips stroking the blueprint of the newly made cabinet, and the lights of thousands of homes were reflected in her gilded eyes - a new chapter belonging to Liyue was slowly unfolding among these intertwined destinies.
