Chapter 164

Miss Miss Ganyu was tearful, kneeling on the side, pushing Gu Chen with both hands: "You must not die!"

"?"

Gu Chen smiled helplessly: "Just a bit exhausted, it's not at the point of dying yet, right?"

As he spoke, Gu Chen coughed twice, the thick blood foam being so scarlet.

Cloud Retainer frowned and said: "Did you damage your foundation?"

There were no obvious wounds on Gu Chen's body, but it gave Cloud Retainer a feeling that he was injured very, very heavily.

Could it be the side effect of using some secret technique?

Cloud Retainer was a bit worried.

"Quickly transfer him to a safe place for treatment!" Sister Sister Sister Sister Sister Guizhong came over to look and said anxiously.

"It's fine, I'll be better after a rest." Gu Chen waved his hand and sat up, took a deep breath, and recovered some spirit.

"Master, are you really okay?" Miss Miss Ganyu was very worried.

How can someone with a pale face spitting blood say they are okay!

"Really okay." Gu Chen shook his head and looked into the distance.

Osial's fall made countless demonic beasts flee in terror.

There were no more demonic beasts in Guili Plains now, only a mess of land flooded by seawater.

Countless people would be displaced.

"Guili Plains is destroyed, what's the next step?" Gu Chen asked.

Sister Sister Sister Sister Sister Guizhong rubbed her brows with a headache and said: "This place obviously can no longer be used as a residence. We must move away and choose a good place to rebuild."

Because Osial fell here, and a large number of demonic beasts also died here, the land had been polluted to the point where it couldn't be lived in; otherwise, the commoners would dream of demonic beasts when they slept at night.

"Then let's move." Gu Chen nodded.

"Where is it better to move to?" Sister Sister Sister Sister Sister Guizhong was a bit worried.

"Wait for the Geo Archon to come back and discuss it." Gu Chen said.

"Alright, stop talking, you need to rest now." Cloud Retainer said.

"Okay, then you all get busy." Gu Chen nodded.

Sister Sister Sister Sister Sister Guizhong and the immortals left to save the commoners, and Miss Miss Ganyu stayed here to take care of Gu Chen.

Miss Miss Ganyu seemed a bit distracted.

Gu Chen asked with a smile: "What are you thinking about?"

Miss Miss Ganyu came back to her senses.

Thinking about how she held her Master back, and thinking about the disappointment and unwillingness of only being able to watch without being able to help, she said firmly: "Master, I want to become stronger!"

"Heh, grown up?" Gu Chen was a bit surprised.

"Mm!"

After experiencing a great battle, Miss Miss Ganyu had seriously realized her own weakness.

If she could become stronger, she should be able to help her Master, right?

"What do you want to learn?" Gu Chen asked with a smile.

"The strongest!" Miss Miss Ganyu replied.

"The strongest?" Gu Chen was stunned for a moment and then said: "The strongest are often the hardest to learn."

"I can learn it!" Miss Miss Ganyu said anxiously.

Seeing Miss Miss Ganyu's exceptionally serious expression, Gu Chen knew this child had been stimulated.

Seeing Miss Miss Ganyu’s exceptionally serious expression, Gu Chen knew this child had been stimulated.

Clearly, she had felt her own powerlessness in a battlefield far beyond her cognition, and then wanted to become exceptionally strong.

Gu Chen had also had such thoughts, so he could understand Miss Miss Ganyu very well.

Pondering, Gu Chen casually cast a cleaning spell to cover himself.

"Master, are you really okay?"

Miss Miss Ganyu looked at Gu Chen with concern.

"Where do you think I look like I have something wrong?"

Gu Chen shook his head and smiled: "Just coughing up some blood, it's not a big deal."

Miss Miss Ganyu felt relieved after seeing Gu Chen was really okay, then asked impatiently: "When will Master teach me?"

Gu Chen pondered briefly and smiled: "I repeatedly practiced the way of drawing the sword; after I practiced it a million times, although that move was ordinary, it also became the strongest. Do you like this method?"

[Continuation of previous line]

"Does that mean it will take a long time?" Miss Miss Ganyu found it hard to imagine how boring it would be to do the same thing a million times.

"It does take a long time, but the path to becoming stronger is like this, one step at a time, you can always feel yourself steadily becoming stronger." Gu Chen nodded slightly.

Becoming stronger has shortcuts, but shortcuts also mean there is a price.

No matter what the price is, it is clearly not a good thing, so Gu Chen wouldn't teach this method to Miss Miss Ganyu.

After considering for a moment, Miss Miss Ganyu gradually became firm: "Then I want to practice archery!"

"Mmhmm, when you practice ordinary drawing and shooting until it's no longer ordinary, that's when you become the strongest." Gu Chen smiled and nodded.

"Master, teach me!"

Miss Miss Ganyu picked up the bow and looked at Gu Chen expectantly.

"I'm a patient!" Gu Chen spread his hands.

"But Master, you said you were fine." Miss Miss Ganyu pursed her lips.

Gu Chen coughed twice and said: "Although I fought Osial very fiercely, I noticed something; some people usually can't even leave one arrow on the target in ten, but in actual combat, they hit the target every time... tsk tsk!"

[Continuation of previous line]

Being teased by Gu Chen like this, a blush instantly appeared on Miss Miss Ganyu’s little face; after pursing her lips and relaxing, she said as a matter of course: "Those fierce beasts' bodies are much larger than the target, so of course I can hit them every time!"

[Continuation of previous line]

"Is that so?" Gu Chen was a bit suspicious.

"That's how it is!" Miss Miss Ganyu nodded very firmly.

Gu Chen suddenly grinned, nodded, and didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Miss Miss Ganyu breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Gu Chen expectantly again.

"Alright, alright, a master’s duty is to preach and resolve doubts."

Gu Chen stood up.

Miss Miss Ganyu consciously approached Gu Chen’s arms.

She had grown up slowly over these years, and she was already sixteen.

Ever since she saw that beautiful bride, Miss Miss Ganyu had been silently controlling her weight.

She wasn't thin, nor was she fat, just having a slight fleshy feeling on her body.

Leaning in Gu Chen’s arms, Gu Chen was only a head taller than her.

She remembered that the mortal girls of this height were all at the age of getting married.

The height of that bride and groom was also like hers and Master’s.

"What are you thinking about?"

Gu Chen raised his hand and knocked on Miss Miss Ganyu’s head.

"Ouch!"

Miss Miss Ganyu came to her senses, then seriously drew the bow and nocked the arrow.

"Remember, only the trinity of heart, bow, and arrow can hit the target."

Gu Chen, as usual, calmly taught Miss Miss Ganyu how to shoot an arrow hand-in-hand.

[Kujou Sara]: This sounds so familiar...

[Kamisato Ayaka]: Seems like I've heard you say it occasionally. (Paimon: Surprised)

[Kaeya]: Did the Sect Master steal your lines? (Funny)

[Gu Chen]: What lines? You just tell me if that's how you shoot a bow to be accurate!

[Raiden Ei]: Indeed.

[Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli]: From a generally rational perspective, it is so.

[Tartaglia]: The bow is the weapon I'm least skilled at, so... Gu-ge teaches so well, I've gradually understood! (Paimon: Hmph)
