As for life before having a gnosis, Illustrious would say, who the hell knows! This identity was fabricated out of thin air by Little Yellow Chicken distorting the world, allowing the world to know Illustrious as someone living here, but in reality, Illustrious had never lived here before.
However, to cope with Ganyu's question, Illustrious could only lie. "Ah! Uh! Yes... yes! Back then, after Keqing of the Ke Family got her vision, my parents would often say to me, 'Look at her, then look at yourself. You really are mud that can't be plastered onto a wall!'"
"'How did our Guang Family end up with a good-for-nothing like you! I really don't know if our Guang Family owed you in a past life, and you came here in this life specifically to drag us down.'"
Ganyu said angrily: "Your parents are too much. It clearly wasn't your fault, and you didn't want it to be like this either. They really aren't fit to be parents."
Illustrious didn't pay it any mind and continued spouting nonsense: "Whenever I go out, the neighbors are always pointing fingers at me, saying, 'That's the trash from the Guang Family! It looks like the Guang Family is going to decline, and from now on, one of the three great families of Liyue will be exiting the historical stage.'"
"Sometimes, children see me and say, 'Big sister, you're a piece of trash, right? When I grow up, I definitely won't become like you.'"
Illustrious made herself sound so miserable, exaggerating more and more as she spoke, as if that person wasn't her at all. Ganyu, standing to the side, felt her heart ache from time to time. Finally, unable to listen any longer, Ganyu pulled Illustrious's head directly into her chest and said in a gentle, soft voice: "Alright, stop talking. I already know, and I understand."
"Illustrious! You've suffered. Don't worry! From now on, I won't let you endure such torment again."
"You're so kind!" Illustrious's face was pressed against the 'face wash'; it was soft and elastic—a good chest, indeed. It's just, could she not hug so tightly? She couldn't breathe!
Just like that, Illustrious finished her bath in both happiness and agony. After the bath, Illustrious went straight to bed, and Ganyu turned off the lights.
Thinking nothing else would happen, Illustrious went straight to sleep. She was too tired and needed to sleep early. However, because Illustrious's chest was so large, lying flat felt like two great mountains pressing on her chest, making it difficult for her to breathe. Therefore, Illustrious could only sleep on her side.
Ganyu was furious to see Illustrious fall asleep immediately. I'm sleeping with you, and you don't have any reaction? What happened to the promised night raid?
Aren't men supposed to be beasts? Although you are a woman, you are, after all, a holder of a gnosis. Aren't you even a little excited?
There was no other way. Since Illustrious wouldn't take the initiative, Ganyu had to do it herself. She lay on the bed, turned on her side, and her hand constantly reached toward Illustrious's body. First, it slipped into the pajamas, then passed through the plains, and then reached the peaks. There was a rock on the peak, and finally, she pinched it.
A sensation like an electric current touching her body caused Illustrious, who had been sound asleep, to open her eyes immediately. She widened her eyes in disbelief; the rock on her peak had been pinched by someone. Who was it! How dare they pinch this lady's rock? She would destroy them.
Illustrious turned her head immediately, wanting to see which audacious flower-picking thief it was. If it were a man, she'd slaughter him. If it were an ugly woman, she'd kill her too. If it were a beautiful woman, then… wait, hmm! She would just have to let her use her body as compensation.
As it turned out, when Illustrious turned her head to see if the flower-picking thief was a man or a woman, she was suddenly stunned. She didn't know until she looked, and when she did, she was shocked—the flower-picking thief was actually Ganyu.
Illustrious and Ganyu stared at each other. Silence, quiet, as if the air had frozen solid. The atmosphere was very awkward.
Unable to stand this atmosphere, Illustrious spoke up directly: "My dear Miss Ganyu, it's the middle of the night, why aren't you sleeping? What are you doing?"
"I'm empty, I'm lonely, I'm cold!" Ganyu stretched her graceful body.
"If you're cold, pull up more blankets. Alright, sleep early! Goodnight." Illustrious indicated she understood and pulled the blanket all the way up to cover Ganyu's mouth.
Not minding Ganyu's unreasonable behavior, Illustrious carefully tucked Ganyu in and then went back to sleep.
Seeing Illustrious go back to sleep, Ganyu was furious and embarrassed, thinking to herself: I made it so obvious, and you're still ignoring me and continuing to sleep? Are you that tired? Fine! Since you won't take the initiative, then don't blame me.
Illustrious fell asleep quickly. However, not long after, she felt a hand reaching toward her lower body. Hmm? Again? Isn't Ganyu tired?
Illustrious threw off the blanket, sat up, and shouted at Ganyu: "What exactly do you want to do!"
"I want to do you." Ganyu pushed Illustrious down immediately.
"Wait, no! Help! Help..." Illustrious was startled. Just as she wanted to call for help, she realized she couldn't make a sound.
It turned out Ganyu had directly blocked Illustrious's cherry lips with her own, preventing her from calling for help!
Afterward, embarrassing sounds emanated from Ganyu's room, lasting for three hours.
...
Meanwhile, the room next to Ganyu's was the room of the Divine Seal Bearer Type 95.
Having just finished a bath, Type 95, who was originally preparing to sleep, heard the sounds of two young women coming through the wall from the room next door. The cries emitted by these two young women were soul-stirring.
These cries instantly energized Type 95, who had been sleepy. "Holy crap! Could the people in the next room be doing it? They sure know how to have fun. The voices of these two young women are so pleasant! Just listening to them, I know they must be great beauties. Since they are great beauties, I must listen carefully."
Type 95 jumped onto the bed, pressed her ear against the adjacent wall, and listened closely. It would have been fine if she hadn't listened, but she was shocked when she did. The battle in the next room was quite intense. "What, I can't take it anymore, please let me go! What, it's not enough? Let's go again!"
However, after listening for a long time, Type 95 discovered that only the cries of two young women came from the next room; there were no sounds of a man. Hmm! What's going on? No man? Then why are the two young women in the next room crying out so soul-stirringly?
Could, could it be the legendary yuri? My god! Is there yuri in the Genshin world? She had originally thought that the people in Genshin were relatively conservative, but it seems she was wrong—wrong to an outrageous degree. Listening to these show-off-like cries, it's clear that the people here are very open!
Type 95 listened very earnestly to the sounds of this yuri couple loving each other, occasionally commenting while listening. "Tsk, tsk, tsk! Doing it time after time, so impressive. It's so intense and so long-lasting! Truly, public morals are declining, and morality is being corrupted."
As Type 95 listened, she suddenly felt a bit wet below. She didn't pee herself, did she? My god! She's such a grown-up, how is she like a child? This is so embarrassing.
She touched it with her hand, and a white liquid stuck to her fingers. She pulled her fingers slightly, and a thin thread stretched out. "Good thing it's not pee, but what is this stuff? Could it be..."
Type 95 blushed instantly. She wanted to take a bath; she felt a bit sticky down there and was very uncomfortable. However, listening to the soul-stirring cries coming from the other side, she thought, since she had to wash anyway, why not...
"Just once! Definitely just this once! I guarantee there won't be a next time." She had only experienced the feeling of self-pleasure when she was in a male body; she hadn't experienced what it felt like when self-pleasuring as a female. Thus, Type 95 reached her hand downward.
Not long after, embarrassing cries also emanated from Type 95's room, though the sound was very faint. If people outside didn't listen carefully, they wouldn't hear it clearly. This was because Type 95 was afraid of being heard, so she lowered her voice.
...
On the other side, the shopkeeper was worried about whether Ganyu could successfully seduce Illustrious. If she didn't succeed, then Liyue and Snezhnaya would break out into war!
Just then, three guests walked up to her. Seeing the guests, the shopkeeper said very politely: "Hello, guests! Is there anything I can help you with?"
A middle-aged man with yellow hair said: "Shopkeeper! I want to file a complaint. The people in the room across from me are too noisy; they're so noisy I can't sleep. I have to take the Favonius Knight exam tomorrow; how am I supposed to sleep with all this noise?"
A young girl in blue, only thirteen years old, said: "That's right! I don't know what the two big sisters next door are shouting about. Could they be being abused by someone?"
Another mature woman with red hair said: "That's not abuse, that's... forget it, I won't say anything, lest I corrupt the child. Shopkeeper, you need to have a serious talk with them, make them stop immediately, and don't be noisy anymore. If you cause me to have dark circles tomorrow, be careful, or I'll report your inn. Do you hear me?"
"Is that so? I'm sorry for disturbing your rest. Please tell me the room number, and I will handle it immediately." The shopkeeper bowed and said.
"The number is room 206. Remember to tell them to be quieter, and as young people, they should exercise some restraint, otherwise, when they get old, they'll regret it." The middle-aged man clutched his kidneys and acted like someone who had been there before.
Room 206—isn't that Lady Ganyu's room? The shopkeeper heard the young girl in blue say there were the cries of two big sisters in the room. Doesn't that mean Ganyu succeeded? That's great! Liyue won't break out into war. This is truly worth celebrating!
"Uh! Alright, I will relay the message. It's getting late. If there's nothing else, you should go back and rest first! I'll handle the rest." The shopkeeper was ecstatic inside but wore a serious expression on the surface.
"Remember to tell them to exercise restraint!" the middle-aged man said with a serious face.
"The big sisters inside really weren't being abused; that's great," the young girl in blue said with relief.
"Oh! My beauty sleep. If my blind date fails tomorrow, I will definitely report this inn." The red-haired mature woman, worried about whether her blind date would succeed, said fiercely.
After hearing that the shopkeeper would handle it immediately, the three guests went back to their own rooms.
After watching the three guests walk away, the shopkeeper's expression changed immediately. She jumped up with joy. No, she had to report this good news to Lady Ningguang immediately. Right, first, she should go outside the room and record a segment of the sound with a phonograph as proof.
Arriving at room 206, the shopkeeper indeed heard the cries of two young women from outside the door, and it sounded like a rather intense battle. The shopkeeper was very happy; it seemed Lady Ganyu had truly succeeded. Now, it was time to record a segment of the sound.
After the phonograph finished recording, the shopkeeper hurried away. She intended to head to Liyue to present the news of Ganyu's success and the recording of Ganyu and Illustrious's intimate cries to the Liyue Qixing.
She believed that after accomplishing this, Lady Ningguang would definitely not treat her poorly, and the reward would certainly be generous.
As for what the guest had said about making them stop their noise, the shopkeeper had long since stopped caring. Just kidding, if they stopped, Liyue would go to war with Snezhnaya!
Could this stop? It could not stop. The louder the cries, the better. This was the sound of victory, the sound of success, the sound of Liyue being spared from war. So, let the cries come even more fiercely!
...
A beam of sunlight shone onto Ganyu's bed. Ganyu slowly opened her eyes and turned her head to see that Illustrious was still fast asleep, which showed that Illustrious had indeed been very tired last night.
Ganyu originally hadn't intended to go on for so long. She had planned to stop after the first time, but her vision had leveled up for no reason, reaching level 99.
This surprised Ganyu greatly. Her vision hadn't leveled up for such a long time; she had been training constantly without any signs of leveling up, so she hadn't expected it to happen now. She pondered the reason: could it be because of her intimacy with Illustrious, and Illustrious's gnosis had triggered the elemental flow in her own vision, causing it to upgrade?
But Ganyu had never heard of a gnosis having such a function! If it really had this function, the Geo Archon would have already created a group of powerhouses long ago.
To verify that it was indeed Illustrious who caused her vision to upgrade, Ganyu did it with Illustrious again. After finishing, she found that her vision had indeed improved, so the answer was clear: this was indeed caused by Illustrious.
Upon learning this, Ganyu kept pulling Illustrious to continue. Illustrious begged for mercy, saying she couldn't take it anymore and to let her go! But Ganyu ignored her; she was almost at max level, how could she stop now?
Thus, after about three hours, Ganyu's vision finally upgraded to level 100. Released, Illustrious was so exhausted that she collapsed, falling asleep shortly after.
Ganyu got up and put on her clothes. After dressing, she looked at the sleeping Illustrious and felt she couldn't hand Illustrious over to the Tsaritsa of Snezhnaya. If the Tsaritsa discovered that Illustrious's gnosis had the ability to upgrade visions, she would definitely make Illustrious create countless level 100 vision holders. At that point, Liyue would be in danger! No! The whole world would be in danger!
For the sake of the world, she absolutely could not hand Illustrious over to the Tsaritsa. Even if not for the world, she had to do it for herself! She and Illustrious had already become intimate; from now on, Illustrious was her person! How could she just hand her over to someone else?
It was getting late. After finishing off the Cryo Regisvine with Illustrious, she still had to take Illustrious back to hold their wedding. "Illustrious, get up quickly. If you don't get up, I'm going to do it again!"
"A-again? Oh my god! No! Please let me go! I really can't take it anymore." Illustrious jumped up in fright. That phrase, 'I'm going to do it again!', had already caused her psychological trauma. Last night, she had almost died at Ganyu's hands. Why did people from Liyue have such strong stamina? Keqing was like that, and Ganyu was like that too; people from Liyue were so scary.
"What! Don't you like me?" Ganyu said with a shadowed face.
"No... no, how could I not like you? I like you so much, I want to stay with you and grow old together. If I'm lying, may heaven strike me..." Illustrious tried to finish the rest of her sentence, but found she couldn't speak, and could only make muffled sounds.
