[Rabbit-Ji, you're STILL stuck watching the event cutscenes? Hoyoverse already dropped a NEW Ye Luo PV!]
[Bro turned out to be an ancient fossil — alive since Khaenri'ah era!]
[AND HE SOLOED HEAVENLY PRINCIPLES!!]
[AND HE TRAVELED WITH AETHER!!]
[AND HE GAVE HIS MASTER THEIR FINAL LESSON!!]
[Family, you all know me — I've always been Aether × Luo CP trash.]
"Huh? My husband is THAT strong?"
Rabbit-Ji was still replaying the duel CG on loop, eyes sparkling with reverence.
She didn't expect Ye Luo to be that strong — capable of firing a literal curry-beam cannon.
My god, these gacha pulls are ALL for you—the dowry is READY.
"Hurry, Hoyoverse, hurry!
I've never begged you for anything before, but THIS character — you must release him! Fast!"
"Okay okay, let me check!"
Overwhelmed by her barrage spamming, Rabbit-Ji finally switched tabs to the official account and opened the new short PV.
"..."
After watching the PV, Rabbit-Ji was even MORE confused.
The information inside was so dense it felt like a lore salad.
And the title was… "Companion."
When he was young, his master accompanied him. Then the master vanished.
He grew up and lived in Khaenri'ah — then returned to find the nation destroyed.
He traveled briefly with the Traveler — then the Traveler left too.
What kind of walking disaster-star was this?!
She muttered internally.
Though, to be fair, Khaenri'ah's fall and Aether's departure were inevitable.
But the real question was —
Who the hell is his master?!
So mysterious you couldn't even tell the gender.
Okay… ignoring that part.
WHY DOES HE HAVE A GUNDAM?!
Dual-blade style.
Gundam.
Laser cannons.
You really just grabbed every cool idea possible and threw it onto one man, huh?
She was done for. Fully fallen.
This man… What is he trying to do?
No matter what — she was on the Traveler's side!
But to comply with the nation's one-husband-one-wife policy…
"I, Rabbit-Ji, am willing to MARRY Lumine — and be Ye Luo's wife!"
————————————————————
[Ding! Congratulations, host — popularity increased.
Current value: 1500.
Teleport Waypoint usage permission unlocked.
Please continue working hard, host!]
The cheerful system notification rang in Ye Luo's ears.
He was still undergoing "special training" when he heard the voice, and for a second, he almost broke composure.
Popularity increases… unlocking teleport waypoints?
That was a HUGE blessing.
He finally didn't need to run everywhere like a peasant!
Especially now, he could teleport to other nations to take commissions and earn Mora.
The poor life… finally had a glimmer of hope.
Wait—
He had an official position.
The Fontaine treasury he built up wasn't even brought over yet.
When I get home, just wait for me, family!
"Oh? Little one, what's with that look?"
Even though Ye Luo only reacted for a split second, Yae Miko caught it instantly.
She leaned closer, smiling meaningfully.
"Could it be… that my special training is making you excited?"
"...You damn fox enchantress!"
Ye Luo's heart jolted.
He assumed the expression even General MacArthur would compliment — stoic, unbreakable, manly.
He looked like a war god standing upright.
Ever since this fox spirit met him, her attitude toward him had been… weird.
Of course he knew Yae Miko had figured out his writer identity long ago.
Never underestimate the intelligence network of this ancient fox.
But that was before.
Now was now.
Before awakening his system, he would've loved to trade blows with this fox lady — she was beautiful after all.
But now?
He had a reputation to preserve.
He, Ye Luo, was going to become the Number One Most Popular Man in Genshin.
As for shipping him with female characters? Absolutely not.
He refused to let there be ANY stain on his character path!
What?
The system says it can auto-correct story fragments to remove CP implications from the main narrative?
…AND YOU'RE ONLY TELLING ME THIS NOW?!
His face cracked as the system calmly responded.
This opened a world of possibilities.
Still—
He needed to keep his distance from this fox spirit.
He wasn't the Traveler — he didn't have that protagonist aura where "turn on domineering mode, and eight beauties fall in love."
"No, no. I just thought of something happy."
Ye Luo replied smoothly.
He and Lumine were currently undergoing mushrooms… no, Pokémon trainer— cough cough— Shroom Beast training.
Ye Luo believed he and Bruce didn't need such things.
Their bond was pure, flawless, unbreakable.
But Paimon dragged him here anyway — "to stop Lumine from winning too easily."
Hehe.
You underestimate Bruce and me?
Tonight, I'll give you a duel you'll NEVER forget!
"What? Something happy?? Tell us!"
Paimon stomped the air excitedly.
The REAL reason she insisted Ye Luo join was simple:
She was afraid he'd wipe out every commission in Port Ormos again.
Lumine had finally gotten serious about earning Mora — she wasn't letting Ye Luo ruin that.
"Uh… do you know which country in Teyvat never has plague?"
Ye Luo regretted his words instantly.
Why did he even try to tell a joke?
"Which one?"
Paimon gulped nervously.
What do you mean plague exists in Teyvat?!
"Ahem… Mondstadt."
"…Because they have Wendy."
Ye Luo coughed and finished weakly.
"...?"
Everyone stared at him blankly.
Only Lumine twitched — "Wendy, Wendy… nemesis of plague… ha."
"You're WHAT? Fontaine's version of Cyno?? That joke was SO cold!!"
Paimon flew straight into his face and pinched his cheeks.
This was next-level unfunny.
She didn't think she'd hear something THIS cold even in Ormos Port.
"Hehehe… fascinating, little one."
Even Yae Miko's seductive smile froze for a moment.
She clearly didn't expect THAT answer.
So he was attempting riddles now?
Then her gaze sharpened — dangerous and foxlike.
Hey— Hey! You all ASKED for the joke! Why are you looking at me like that?!
Ye Luo felt every gaze turn murderous.
He just wanted to go home and study teleport anchors…
Too late.
Yae Miko grabbed him with a foxlike flourish.
"Training isn't over yet. Come, let us thoroughly enjoy it."
"No! No no no! The bond between Bruce and me ABSOLUTELY does not require this training!!"
Ye Luo struggled desperately.
He hadn't forgotten the "Raiden Shogun special training" from the event storyline.
This time…
Wasn't it going to be even MORE dangerous?!
