Chapter 407

~8 min read 1,478 words

The burning of the flames distorted the void, and the ape-like k seemed to be roaring silently.

Gu Chen's heart shook.

Memories gradually emerged from the depths of his heart.

"You didn't die completely either..."

A light laugh carried coldness and murderous intent.

The ominous ape stretched out a huge hand, a hand so huge that it seemed it could pick up a planet and play with it like a marble, and grabbed toward Gu Chen and Teyvat.

Focalors, who was looking up at the deep space scene, had her heart in her throat.

Human vision could only see everything blurred in the sky, and even as a god, she could not peek at the whole picture, and could only silently worry.

"Hmm?!"

Suddenly, Neuvillette was stunned.

A sacred and ancient aura was transmitted from the deep space.

It didn't bring any pressure. Every living being felt as if they were wrapped in warm water, as if they had fallen into a mother's embrace, feeling peaceful and harmonious.

And in that deep space, a majestic phantom slowly emerged.

The huge ominous ape was as small as a speck of dust in front of that phantom.

The sacred and majestic Ancient Dragon slowly lowered its head, its gaze already fixed on them.

Humans, gods, elemental creatures, monsters, etc., all watched this scene in deep shock.

The reverence from the depths of their hearts emerged, making them bow down involuntarily.

I don't know when, the distant horizon had been filled with colorful clouds, surging from all directions.

The rolling colorful clouds sealed the entire deep space, gradually forming a new sky.

No one could see what happened outside the sky, all this made all living beings feel as illusory as a dream.

In the manor.

The void rippled, and Gu Chen, dressed in long black clothes with dragon horns on his head, walked out of the ripples.

"Are you okay?!"

Focalors stepped forward quickly, touching him with concern, and only breathed a sigh of relief after finding no injuries.

"All are remnant souls, k is just a wisp, what do they have to fight me with?" Gu Chen leaned into Focalors' ear and whispered: "For this merit of saving the world, how will sister reward me?"

Feeling the hot air blowing in her ear, Focalors blushed and lowered her head like an ostrich, not daring to speak.

Neuvillette saw this and consciously retreated. Lumine was stunned for a moment, then picked up Paimon and followed Neuvillette away.

――【Dackub】【Starrysky】Thanks to the two big bosses for the monthly tickets! (Yunjin? Wink)

Gu Chen said leisurely: "Now the crisis outside Teyvat has been resolved, and I have also rewritten Teyvat's fate by the way... Sister doesn't need to worry so much anymore, the big stone pressing on your heart can land. Now that you've relaxed, shouldn't you think about other things?"

Focalors, who was lowering her head and feeling her cheeks burning, was stunned.

Is this silly brother implying something?!

After learning that there was nothing to worry about, Focalors felt very relaxed in her heart, and hearing the second half...

It was really hard not to think too much!!

Focalors was flustered and couldn't say a word.

Gu Chen had already sat down at the tea table at some point, took a sip of black tea, and teased: "Why is sister standing there?"

Focalors then came back to her senses, moved her bare feet lightly to sit aside, and had no words to say. She didn't know what she should say in such an atmosphere.

[Nilou]: Urgent, urgent!! I am the urgent king!! Can Focalors stand up? Gu Chen's implication is so obvious!! (Urgent, urgent)

[Collei]: This video makes me feel like I'm burning with anxiety! Can't take it anymore!!! I'm going to Fontaine now to move the official marriage office over for you!! (Paimon? Leave it to me muscle version)

[Kaeya]: This Focalors is no good, she actually chickened out at the critical moment. (Tartaglia? Practice more if you're bad)

[Azhdaha]: If you ask me, anyway, these two sleep together every night, can't Brother Gu just knock them out and cook the rice? Anyway, I don't think Focalors would refuse, she just can't say it. (Hu Tao? Smirking)

[Yae Miko]: Too rough! There must be a process between young lovers!

[Alice]: Exactly, exactly! Support Sister Miko's point of view!

[Raiden Ei]: I think... you can drug them. (Serious)

[Raiden Shogun]: Ah?

[Raiden Makoto]: Ah?

[Kamisato Ayaka]: So Lady Ei's solution is actually this? (Kamisato Ayaka? Confused)

[Hu Tao]: Very abstract, but feels very useful! (Hu Tao? Smirking)

[Furina]: Clearly the opportunity is right in front of her, but this Focalors can't grasp it. If it were me, it would be fine! This is A-Chen's confession to me! (Klee? Great)

[Focalors]: What words, what are you all saying... (Sangonomiya Kokomi? Energy dropping)

[Kirara]: The main character has appeared, start criticizing! (20 Nahida? Pointing fingers)

[Paimon]: At this time, I think Lumine really needs to take action and drug them both. (Paimon? A piece of cake)

[Lumine]: Master Bai, prepare some medicine and send it to them directly. @[Baizhu]

[Baizhu]: Really? (Adjusting glasses)

[Gu Chen]: Heaven-defying...

[Focalors]: Is it a bit too absurd? (Scared and shrinking into the corner)

"Why isn't sister talking?"

Gu Chen asked with a smile while holding a teacup.

Focalors twisted her little hands together and said softly: "Feel like you are so different today..."

"Hmm?"

Gu Chen raised his eyebrows and then said: "Solved a big trouble, my heart is naturally happy. Converting it proportionally, it probably means sister doesn't have to worry about Fontaine's affairs anymore, isn't sister happy?"

"Is that so..."

Focalors immediately understood Gu Chen's meaning.

After everything relaxed, Focalors was slightly dazed.

She was examining her own heart.

She was a god, and a smart god at that.

In fact, a long, long time ago, she realized that she might be deeply trapped in a vortex, but she didn't resist it.

Thinking back to the beginning, just after succeeding to the position of Hydro Archon, thinking about countermeasures on the seabed, she accidentally discovered an anomaly deep underground, and then entered the Primordial Sea Water and found the silly brother who had just been born and hadn't opened his eyes yet.

From the beginning of raising a small pet to raising a little brat, and then watching him grow up slowly... How come there is suddenly a feeling that she has become a mother?

Focalors reached out to rub her cheeks and patted them gently to make herself clearer.

At first, Focalors didn't dare to fantasize about these, because the gap between the two sides was greater than a chasm, just like the whole planet and a speck of dust... completely unequal.

But this stinky brother had been clinging to her since he was a child, and the more he grew, the more presumptuous he became. The occasional silliness also made her not feel how powerful the reincarnation of the Ancient Ancestor was, and the gap in status seemed to become blurred.

After getting along slowly for hundreds of years, Focalors felt this was not bad.

But today... is it too sudden?!

She didn't have any preparation at all!

Focalors' first thought was not how to refuse, but to work hard to build her own psychological construction.

Anyway, besides not confirming the relationship and not doing some things that broke the bottom line, the relationship between herself and the stinky brother really seemed like lovers...

The only obstacle was probably psychological?

Looking up slightly, Focalors saw Gu Chen rubbing his chin and thinking about something. She asked instinctively: "What are you thinking about again?"

"Hmm?"

Gu Chen came back to his senses and said: "Oh, I'm thinking about what to eat tonight."

"Just thinking about this?!" Focalors' eyes widened.

"Yeah, otherwise?" Gu Chen nodded, then suddenly said meaningfully: "Sister, what do you think I should be thinking about at this moment?"

Focalors was stunned, her pretty face flushed, and she slapped him angrily: "Stinky brother, you only know how to bully your sister every day!"

"I'm wronged, my lord!"

Gu Chen raised his hands to surrender.

"Hmph~ what do you want to eat, I'll go buy groceries, let Neuvillette cook tonight." Focalors stood up and said.

Gu Chen leaned back on the lounge chair. The afternoon sunlight fell on Focalors' cheeks, allowing him to see the face where the faint blush hadn't faded. He considered it seriously before saying: "I'm not picky, I can eat anything, just listen to sister's arrangement."

Focalors knew he would mostly say this, and wasn't surprised, lifting her feet and walking out.

After leaving the manor, Focalors saw Neuvillette standing on the hillside in the distance with his hands behind his back, and Lumine squatting to the side, gossiping with Paimon, who had just woken up and looked dazed.
