The Geo Lord Morax and the Dust King Guizhong were a union of unmatched strength.
Morax commanded overwhelming martial might, while Guizhong possessed wisdom beyond compare.
Under their leadership—and with the aid of many adepti—Guili Assembly prospered beyond imagination.
People now had food and warmth, no longer fearing that the chaos of war would reach their lands.
After all, Morax's territory had expanded greatly, and Guili Assembly lay within the very heart of it—safe and prosperous.
To celebrate the Assembly's flourishing growth, Morax decided to host a grand banquet to reward the adepti, both as praise and encouragement.
Good days had arrived, and he intended to make sure they would continue—and even grow better.
That was Morax's dream, and one of the reasons so many followed him faithfully.
That day, Guili Assembly was abuzz with life and laughter.
The great hall was filled with delicacies from both mountain and sea.
"Hic~"
Little Ganyu let out a satisfied burp.
Tilting her head, she looked toward the lively sounds coming from outside. Even from here, she could faintly hear the cheerful noise.
Having grown up in Jueyun Karst under Gu Chen's care, Ganyu had never experienced such festivities before.
Curiosity glimmered in her eyes; she longed to go out and take a look.
After thinking for a moment, she tugged on Gu Chen's sleeve with her chubby little hand. "Master, I want to go play~"
Gu Chen's eyes softened with amusement. "If you're full, go have some fun—but be careful."
"Mm-hmm!"
With her master's permission, Ganyu beamed with delight.
Her little legs didn't even reach the floor when she sat on the bench, but now she hopped down, waved a quick goodbye to the adepti, and darted off.
Within a few breaths, her tiny figure had already disappeared.
"This little one's quite lively," chuckled Liuyun the Windborne.
Lishui Dieshan, the Mountain-Carver, laughed heartily. "She's probably been cooped up too long in Jueyun Karst. Today's such a rare, festive occasion—of course she'd want to join in the fun! Shall we go have a look later ourselves?"
"That would be fine," Morax nodded slightly.
"By the way, Sword's Edge True Monarch," Xiaoyue Zhuyang asked with a grin, "how does the Stove God's cooking compare to the food from your homeland?"
Gu Chen replied without hesitation, "If the ingredients were identical, I might believe I was home again—not in Teyvat."
"Haha! You flatter me!"
The Stove God, Macozius, roared with laughter. "Those cooking methods you showed me have given me all sorts of inspiration. If I combine them with my own, I might create something even better!"
"Oh?" Morax's eyes lit up.
Liuyun tilted her head upward. "Such good fortune! When that time comes, you must invite me too, Stove God. Don't you dare keep it all to yourself!"
"Everyone gets a share, everyone!" Macozius said quickly, nodding.
"I'll take another table," Gu Chen said as he stood up and moved to one side.
Most adepti preferred vegetarian food, but Gu Chen was not fond of it—he liked his meals with meat.
Now that was true flavor.
"It seems little Ganyu's been making you suffer," Liuyun teased with a chuckle.
Gecheng Langshi smiled knowingly. "I saw her feeding her master vegetables while eating her own. She didn't notice his helpless look, but I certainly did."
Gu Chen sighed. "What can I do? You have no idea how hard it is to eat only vegetables every day. I sneak out of the cave at night for a secret meal when she's asleep."
The Dragon King Azhdaha burst out laughing. "That sounds miserable! Why don't you let Liuyun take care of her instead?"
"No way."
Gu Chen shook his head, speaking firmly as the other adepti exchanged surprised glances. "I've gotten used to it over the years—it's no big deal. Besides, I'm planning to teach her cultivation when she's a little older. Maybe I can raise her into a powerful adeptus—and if she can reach the rank of human-immortal, all the better!"
Liuyun smiled. "That will keep you busy. If she's gifted, it'll be easy enough. If not—well, good luck!"
"Step by step. If she fails once, she'll just try again," Gu Chen replied easily.
Xiaoyue Zhuyang added in a knowing tone, "Children her age are always playful. You'd better be ready for that."
Gu Chen thought for a moment, recalling something from long ago, and chuckled. "Don't worry, I've got experience."
"That's good to hear."
The talk naturally drifted back to Ganyu again, including the infamous story of how she once got stuck in a monster's throat and accidentally choked it to death.
(The following is an in-universe chat log among the characters, rendered in modern humorous tone as it appears in the source.)
[Kaeya]: @Gu Chen — You say you've got experience? What, you raised kids in a past life? (laughs)
[Venti]: Don't ask what you already know, Kaeya. You'll only make it awkward. (grins)
[Gu Chen]: What, none of you had a childhood? You all forget what little brats you used to be? (Zhongli shrug emoji)
[Diluc]: Hm.
[Kaeya]: Oh, I remember—some people used to be absolute troublemakers before they grew into stiff-faced gentlemen. Shame how that turned out. (sighs)
[Venti]: Who are we talking about? (teasing)
[Kaeya]: A certain former cavalry captain of the Knights of Favonius. (smirk)
[Diluc]: ….
[Paimon]: So Gu Chen was a mischievous kid too? (curious)
[Gu Chen]: Of course! Would you expect Klee to sit quietly in a library studying bomb theory?
…and the chat continued with chaos, teasing, and relentless banter, until finally—
[Liuyun the Windborne]: @Ganyu — This marriage, this immortal approves! (graciously nods)
[Ganyu]: ….
"W-why did it turn into this?!"
She stood frozen, face burning red, clutching her cheeks.
From behind a tree, Shenhe peeked out, a little bird perching on her head.
Ganyu's face was so flushed that even her ahoge trembled.
Shenhe blinked. Was her senior sister about to turn into a steam spirit?
How strange… What was she feeling right now? Shenhe couldn't quite understand.
Meanwhile, Liuyun's bird head bobbed lightly, and her aura radiated one clear message: This CP is absolutely adorable!
After watching the video of Gu Chen again, Liuyun grew even more pleased.
No joke—she had no intention of stopping this relationship!
After the meal and some chatting with the adepti, Gu Chen left the hall to find little Ganyu.
Before long, master and disciple reunited.
Her face was glowing with excitement as she ran up and grabbed his hand. "Master, master! Come with me!"
"Oh? You look delighted. What's the good news?"
"You'll see soon!"
Her little face couldn't hide her anticipation—she clearly had a secret she was dying to share.
They walked for a bit, climbed over a small hill—
"Master, look!"
Ganyu pointed ahead.
Gu Chen raised an eyebrow.
In the distance lay a vast sea of white and blue flowers.
Each bloom had a golden stamen surrounded by white petals, with larger blue ones on the outside— unmistakably Glaze Lilies.
These flowers, spread across all of Liyue, gathered the memories of the land and released them as fragrance when they bloomed.
Now was their peak season; even from afar, the air was rich with their scent.
Though common, it was rare to see them growing in such numbers—forming a breathtaking sea of color.
"Isn't it beautiful?"
Ganyu placed her hands on her hips, tilting her head proudly. "I found it and came to get you right away, Master!"
Seeing her bright, expectant face, Gu Chen smiled. "Indeed… a magnificent sight."
"Then let's go take a closer look!"
Hand in hand, Ganyu led him running into the sea of flowers.
[Venti]: Guizhong: Ganyu! How dare you use my flower fields to court my man?! (laughs)
[Gu Chen]: What kind of NTR storyline is this?! (shocked)
[Kaeya]: Oh, so that's what it's called? Great, I learned something new. I'll go NTR Diluc next. (grin)
[Diluc]: Can you not?
[Kaeya]: Don't be so cold~
The chat spiraled into teasing once more until—
[Liuyun the Windborne]: Such behavior should be punished, don't you think? (laughs)
[Furina]: And how would you punish them, True Monarch? (smirk)
[Liuyun]: Sentence them to be together—forever and ever! (Paimon pouts)
[Shenhe]: I don't understand, but I agree. (nods)
In the end, everyone—including the Hydro Archon and the Chief Justice—voted "in favor."
And as the chat exploded with laughter, teasing, and heart emojis—
[Liuyun the Windborne]: This couple is just too adorable! This immortal fully approves!
Ganyu, meanwhile, was about ready to melt into a puddle of embarrassment.
But Liuyun?
She only watched the scene before her and thought with immense satisfaction—
"Good heavens… this CP is divine. This immortal approves wholeheartedly!"
