The next day, early morning.
"Mmm..."
Sunlight streamed in, growing warmer.
Qin Yu, still in his dreams, let out a soft moan.
His chest felt heavy, and he grew hotter as he slept.
Who was kicking his face?
Subconsciously, he stirred his tired body, wanting to adjust his position and continue sleeping.
But after a few twitches, he found himself completely unable to move.
"??"
Qin Yu frowned, his mouth and eyes closed.
Pinned down by several layers of blankets, he could bear it no longer and opened his eyes.
"..."
A vast expanse of warm, soft white light reflected, slightly blinding.
Qin Yu turned his head, moving the unknown object off his face.
A crystalline thread streaked through the air.
"??"
"What did I even do last night."
Finally breaking free from the encirclement of the blankets, Qin Yu leaned against the headboard, his eyes vacant.
His memories gradually cleared.
Alright, he hadn't been entirely clear-headed at the time.
But after all they had been through together, their hearts were in sync.
Their feelings for each other no longer required many words.
The rest of the actions only needed a small nudge, a catalyst.
It was as if he were dreaming, always doing something out of the ordinary.
So he did it.
"..."
He felt as if his entire being had been emptied...
It was like trying to empty a pond of fish all at once.
Didn't they know about sustainable utilization!
Qin Yu expressed his heartache at the actions of certain individuals.
He instinctively smacked his lips.
This taste... cough, no.
He raised his slightly trembling hand, removing the Padisarah from the corner of his mouth.
Legend had it that when the God of Flowers danced, beautiful flowers bloomed wherever her footsteps landed.
Qin Yu had now witnessed it.
But when had it grown there, and who had planted the seed?
Was it Nahida, who possessed the power of the God of Flowers, or Nilou?
Or perhaps flowers planted by both of them...
Qin Yu felt that either was possible.
"Sigh."
On the other side, Nilou was curled up, hugging herself.
Her hair stuck to her cheeks, her expression weary.
Her small cherry lips were slightly parted, as if still calling out to her teacher.
Compared to the young girl, Ei and the Great Tree King were much more elegant.
They lay on their sides, their curves alluring.
Their hands, which had been holding Qin Yu's, were now intertwined.
Before them lay a scene that could drive any man to madness.
Unfortunately, for Qin Yu, who was in a state of "sage mode," it held little appeal.
He looked at the Padisarah in his hand and smiled wryly.
Under normal circumstances, the flowers shouldn't have bloomed so soon.
But who could help it when the flowers had been intensified?
No matter, Teyvat was such a magical world.
Here, there were all sorts of wondrous elemental reactions.
Nahida was responsible for planting, and Nilou for watering.
The two women, who hadn't yet practiced planting flowers and trees, were surprisingly gentle.
Like kittens tasting cat food for the first time, they were reserved, taking one bite at a time, chewing slowly.
"..."
But there were always older cats, who had eaten cat food many times, watching covetously.
A normal amount was hard to satisfy them.
Thinking of the great leader and the Great Tree King, Qin Yu held his forehead in a headache.
All he could say was that the alchemy experiment was a great success.
The great leader and the Great Tree King were naturally warlike deities.
Furthermore, with the aid of alchemy... cough, no.
In short, at that time, Electro and Dendro elements permeated the air, which was terrifying.
Catalysis, Electro-Charged, Bloom.
When several deities gathered, the elemental reactions were truly understood.
So, who was the one being ravaged by all sorts of elemental reactions?
Qin Yu: "..."
Qin Yu closed his eyes, indicating that joy and sorrow were none of his concern.
He just wanted to rest well now.
But obviously, the morning's rest was always short.
A warm and delicate sensation quietly pressed against his body, drawing near.
"My sun, good morning."
A gentle voice sounded in his ear.
Like the first dewdrop in the morning forest, clear and sweet.
Qin Yu opened his eyes, looking at the mature woman beside him, her hair disheveled, her face flushed and alluring.
The two exchanged a smile and snuggled together gently.
The tranquility of the morning was always reassuring.
Of course, the wife's broad chest was also very reassuring.
"Our daughter is already asleep."
The wife suddenly said, her tone playful.
As she spoke, she playfully punched Qin Yu.
What a greedy and bold fellow, truly asking for a beating.
"Cough... Nahida is tired, she needs to rest."
Qin Yu gently held the wife's hand and pretended to be serious.
As for why she was so tired, that was another matter.
Anyway, when she softly called out "Papa"...
He couldn't think about it anymore.
Qin Yu buried his head in the wife's shoulder, not wanting to say a word.
Like a little boy quietly acting spoiled.
"You want to replenish your energy?"
The wife gently smoothed Qin Yu's messy hair, smiling.
That's right, Qin Yu's divine powers had been sealed again.
Everything had gone smoothly at first.
First, he discussed some issues about divine powers with Nilou and Nahida.
Then, he joined forces with everyone to confront the Electro Archon, the great leader, pushing her back step by step.
Finally, he joined forces with the great leader to deal with the newly awakened Dendro Archon, the Great Tree King.
For a moment, Qin Yu felt a sense of triumph.
So this was how it felt to stand at the top, with such fresh air.
But soon, Qin Yu's plan was seen through.
When Ei and the Great Tree King joined forces...
It was beyond words.
"Are there really Archons who suppress divine powers when they can't win!"
Qin Yu mumbled into the wife's embrace.
None of them fought honorably.
"This is a punishment for a certain greedy fellow."
The wife said softly, patting Qin Yu's back.
Her maternal radiance was overflowing, mixed with a hint of amusement.
"I'm tired," Qin Yu said.
Come on, wife, give me the life energy quickly.
"Eh... then you'll have to beg me properly."
The wife flicked Qin Yu's forehead playfully, her smile joyful.
"?"
Qin Yu blinked, was this some kind of playful game?
I like it.
He leaned close to the wife's ear and whispered:
"Please... My dearest wife."
"...!"
The Great Tree King's eyelashes trembled, fluttering beautifully in the sunlight.
She looked into Qin Yu's earnest eyes, her own eyes widening slightly.
A stunningly beautiful smile bloomed quietly.
The wife gently hugged Qin Yu, whispering close to his ear.
Perhaps no oath, however long, could compare to these simple and sincere words.
"I am very satisfied, my dear husband."
"But... it's not enough yet."
"Ah?"
Qin Yu tilted his head, looking at the wife, whose smile grew more joyful, radiating maternal warmth.
No way, even this isn't enough to win you over?
Suddenly, a spark of inspiration flashed through his mind.
He seemed to understand something and buried his face in the wife's embrace.
"The child is hungry,..."
Qin Yu opened his mouth, silently forming two words.
Like a child begging its mother.
"..."
The wife's breath hitched, and a blush spread across her face.
She sighed softly, her breath trembling.
After calming herself for a while.
"Good child, close your eyes."
The wife smiled slightly and took Qin Yu's hand.
While there was still time, she could make other preparations.
