Chapter 157

Sword cultivators have always been free-spirited and unrestrained, but that does not mean their foundational sword techniques are poor.

The better one practices the foundational sword techniques, the more thoroughly they can master and integrate them.

This is a necessary step to experience, yet it made little Miss Miss Ganyu’s days even more bitter.

“Wuwuwu...”

On this day, little Miss Miss Ganyu was so exhausted that she threw herself into Gu Chen’s arms and wailed.

That pitiful appearance made Gu Chen chuckle for a moment before he said, “Go and rest.”

“Mm!”

Little Miss Miss Ganyu nodded heavily.

She didn’t leave; she just lay in Gu Chen’s arms, squinting her eyes, and soon fell into a deep sleep under the warm sunlight.

Taking advantage of his little disciple being asleep in his arms, Gu Chen stroked his chin and pondered.

“Clearly, she isn’t suited for sword practice. Then what would be good to practice?”

“To cultivate the Dao, one must cultivate the arts of protecting the Dao. Since she cannot become a sword cultivator, then spears, sabers, and the like are obviously not to be considered either.”

Gu Chen thought for a long time but could not come up with an answer.

He looked at his little disciple sleeping soundly in his arms and said with a faint smile, “There’s no rush; it won’t be too late to practice when she grows up a bit more.”

[Sangonomiya Kokomi]: It seems it really is a bit difficult for Mr. Gu Chen and little Miss Miss Ganyu. Then, what weapon does Miss Miss Miss Ganyu use in reality?

[Miss Miss Ganyu]: A bow.

[Tartaglia]: A bow, huh? A very useful weapon, but also the one I am least skilled with. (Kaveh: scratches head)

[Gu Chen]: Is that your excuse for losing to others? (Funny)

[Tartaglia]: What kind of talk is that! (Defiant)

[Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli]: Speaking from a general rational perspective, Miss Miss Ganyu practicing the Dao of the sword might truly be a bit discordant.

[Miss Miss Keqing]: Indeed, my impression of her has always been that she uses a bow and arrow. If the Miss Miss Ganyu in the video knew sword techniques... I can't imagine what that would look like. (Paimon: shocked)

[Paimon]: I think Gu Chen looks very dashing; he's actually quite handsome. (Paimon: shocked)

[Gu Chen]: To put it bluntly, don't you all want to become Sword Immortals? To roam freely between heaven and earth! It’s incredibly cool, isn't it? (Nods)

[Kaeya]: We one-handed sword users are all about being cool! (Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli: Dragon King smirk)

[Gu Chen]: I’ll give that a like.

[Kamisato Ayato]: It’s hard not to agree. (Kamisato Ayato: drinks milk tea)

[Albedo]: Indeed.

[Alhaitham]: It should be so.

[Xingqiu]: I’ve had a dream of roaming the world with a sword since I was a child!

Gu Chen was in no rush to teach little Miss Miss Ganyu how to use a weapon, letting her think it over before choosing one to practice.

On this day, someone suddenly came to visit.

“Immortal Master Gu, Immortal Master Gu, are you in?”

The visitor was an elderly man who looked full of vigor; he was a highly respected elder in the local area.

“What is it?” Gu Chen asked.

“Sigh, two little ones in the village are getting married, and since you live here, we thought we’d invite you to join in the fun. The young ones were afraid they couldn’t invite you, so they had me come and ask!” The old man grinned.

“I have nothing to do right now, so I’ll go and have a free meal.” Gu Chen laughed.

“That couldn’t be better!” The old man nodded repeatedly, then said to little Miss Miss Ganyu, “Little Miss Miss Ganyu, let’s go, we’re going to eat something delicious!”

“Coming!”

Little Miss Miss Ganyu ran over quickly.

While walking toward the destination, little Miss Miss Ganyu asked, “What does getting married mean?”

“Getting married, huh...” The old man smacked his lips, thought for a moment, and for the sake of helping little Miss Miss Ganyu understand, he said, “It means two people who like each other live their lives together.”

“Two people who like each other living their lives together?” Little Miss Miss Ganyu scratched her head, then said with pleasant surprise, “Then can I get married to Master too?”

“Hm?”

Gu Chen was stunned and couldn’t help but laugh.

Upon hearing this, the old man was stunned for a moment before waving his hands repeatedly: “No, no! Immortal Master Gu is your Master, how could you get married to Immortal Master Gu?”

“Is it not allowed?” Miss Miss Ganyu scratched her head in confusion.

“This...”

The old man pondered for a long time before saying, “I don’t know about the affairs of you immortals, but here in the mortal world, such things would be subject to gossip!”

The puzzled little Miss Miss Ganyu could only look at her Master.

Gu Chen patted her head and smiled: "You are still young; you wouldn't understand these things if I explained them. You'll understand when you grow up."

"Aye, it reminds me of my granddaughter. When she was little, she kept shouting that she wanted to marry the neighbor's boy, Erwazi, but when she grew up, she didn't want to anymore, haha." The old man recalled the past and couldn't

help but laugh.

Little Miss Miss Ganyu didn't understand, so she simply stopped thinking about it.

She followed the old man all the way to a certain place.

It was very lively here, filled with a festive atmosphere.

Little Miss Miss Ganyu saw someone use fire to light something red, and then a crackling sound exploded; she was startled.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just firecrackers." Gu Chen signaled for her to be at ease.

After watching for a while, little Miss Miss Ganyu stared curiously, feeling that it seemed quite fun.

As they walked in, many people had already seen Gu Chen.

The aura about Gu Chen was too obvious.

Whether it was his spirit or his appearance, he didn't fit in with ordinary people at all.

He could only be described as an exiled immortal.

"True Immortal Gu is here!"

"Oh my, True Immortal Gu has actually come! This pair of newlyweds is truly lucky today; even an immortal has come!"

"I heard that among all the immortals, only True Immortal Gu is a human immortal—an immortal who cultivated from a human. He is truly remarkable!"

"Bah, your news isn't even up to date. I happen to know that our True Lord of Sword Extremity and Demon Subjugation is an immortal from a foreign land!"

"Oh? How come I've never heard of that?"

"I heard it from my boy!"

"Her boy is in the Millelith!"

"No wonder then."

As soon as Gu Chen arrived with little Miss Miss Ganyu, people welcomed them warmly, all feeling happy for the newlyweds today.

For commoners to have a wedding and an immortal to attend—what an honor this was.

It could even be described as bringing glory to one's ancestors.

"That kid is going to be blessed from now on!"

"Indeed! If only an immortal had attended when my boy got married!"

"Just keep dreaming; this is the kind of thing that only happens when the ancestral grave smokes with good fortune!"

Coming to grab a meal, Gu Chen brought little Miss Miss Ganyu to offer blessings to the newlyweds.

The pair of newlyweds were both excited and nervous, fearing they might be negligent.

Perhaps the people at the wedding feast were right; this kid was truly blessed.

Although she couldn't see the bride's face, her voice was as melodious as an oriole, and her figure was quite lovely.

Little Miss Miss Ganyu leaned in closer, tilting her little head to stare blankly at the bride under the red veil.

Is this what people call a bride?

So beautiful.

After thinking for a while, little Miss Miss Ganyu returned to her Master's side and whispered: "Master, I saw her, she's so pretty!"

"You."

Gu Chen reached out to flick her nose, then pinched her little cheek and said: "Alright, just sit here quietly, or go off and play if you want. Remember to come back when it's time to eat."

"Mm, I won't go."
