Honkai: Star Rail, Marrying Acheron Upon Landing Chapter 44

Speaking of the rewards I got yesterday.

The Mystic Seal of True Sight, the description even mentioned idealism.

I slept too early yesterday and didn't think of this. Now that Acheron pointed it out, it made Lin Shuang remember that she could use this to examine the ring and see what functions it had.

No sooner said than done.

Lin Shuang reached out and, under Acheron's confused gaze, took her left hand.

On her fingers, which were not wearing gloves, the silver-white ring and the ring on Lin Shuang's hand echoed each other.

Lowering her head and blinking, complex mystic seals gradually appeared in her pupils.

Soon, Lin Shuang saw through the surface of the ring and perceived the unspoken power within.

Surprise, shock, and confusion.

After clearly seeing the power within, Lin Shuang's eyes widened.

Damn, it's real.

When this ring was given to me, there was a comment. Lin Shuang originally thought it was just a common blessing slogan.

"But only love is eternal, and even time cannot make it fade."

Who knew this sentence was meant literally? This thing actually gave the wearer a function that could help preserve memories related to them.

Memories related to Lin Shuang, scents, and everything else would be carefully preserved.

Originally, its purpose was just a fun hidden feature to add color to love.

Who would have thought that the person who put on this thing was Acheron, who was tormented by The Nihility?

This immediately smoothed over the side effects of The Nihility on Acheron.

Not only were her memories not lost, but even those that were originally lost were forcefully brought back because of Lin Shuang.

If any other Pathstrider of a different Path wore it, they wouldn't have such good results.

For example, for Lin Shuang, wearing it was like wearing an ordinary ring, with no magical properties whatsoever.

While Lin Shuang was lost in thought, her head lowered.

Acheron stared motionlessly at Lin Shuang's white hair and her prominent nose.

The scent from Lin Shuang wasn't strong.

She didn't like makeup, unlike Acheron, who carried a faint, elegant scent of makeup.

But to Acheron, it was a comforting smell.

In just half a month of being together, Acheron surprisingly found that she had actually gotten used to having someone around.

Leaving alone, Acheron even felt a sense of discomfort and a 'loneliness' she hadn't felt in a very, very long time.

Perhaps this was the downside of memories not disappearing?

Acheron couldn't help but think this in her heart. Because memories disappear, there was no loneliness even when parting.

But if memories didn't fade, the beautiful, comforting moments would constantly stir up desires.

And desire, when unfulfilled, would turn into a feeling of loneliness.

Volume 1: Chapter 62: Her Face Was Too Close!

Unconsciously, Lin Shuang suddenly realized she had been holding Acheron's hand for too long.

Just as she was about to let go, she looked up and was startled to find that Acheron's face, at some unknown time, had appeared right in front of her.

The tips of their noses seemed about to touch, and their warm, moist breaths fell on Lin Shuang's face through her nasal cavity, feeling slightly itchy.

So close?

Lin Shuang clearly remembered that they weren't standing far apart, but their faces weren't this close.

They were practically about to kiss.

I didn't move, so Acheron must have moved closer. Did she do it while I was thinking?

Acheron actually moved closer on her own?

Then would it be okay if I kissed her...

As Lin Shuang's thoughts wandered, she met Acheron's eyes.

Because she had lowered her head, her eyes, which were previously hidden, were now visible through her parted bangs.

As their eyes met, those eyes blinked innocently, as if none of this had anything to do with her.

It was as if the act of lowering her head wasn't something she had done.

Before Lin Shuang could even comment, Acheron, acting as if nothing had happened, raised her head and created distance.

Not only did she create distance, but she even tried to shift the blame.

"Why did you suddenly want to look at the ring you gave me?"

"…Let's just take a look."

Lin Shuang pouted, glossing over the question.

Seeing that Acheron had no intention of withdrawing her hand, Lin Shuang also didn't plan to let go.

Immediately.

A small ball of blue-green flame appeared on Acheron's left hand.

Although it looked like flame, it didn't transmit any heat. Lin Shuang curiously observed this Suiyang.

"This is the Suiyang you caught? It doesn't look very strong. Does it have a lot of energy reserves? I asked Fu Xuan before I came; the size of the flame when a Suiyang manifests is proportional to its strength."

"Is that so?"

Acheron tilted her head slightly, then recalled.

"When I first encountered it, it seemed quite large… but after coming out of my body, it got smaller. However, the overall feeling hasn't changed much. Why don't you try it first? If it doesn't work, I'll catch some more for you to fuse with next time."

Acheron said it so casually, as if she were going to the backyard to catch a grasshopper, which made Lin Shuang a little nervous as she squeezed Acheron's fingertip.

"Suiyang aren't that easy to encounter, and powerful ones are even harder to find. Don't take the risk. You can still get stronger by absorbing other Suiyang."

Suiyang that are well-known, named, and powerful can rival a Xianzhou General. Phantylia, who is still roaming outside, is a Great Annihilation Lord, an Emanator of Destruction.

They are all players on the same level, and Acheron wouldn't be able to handle them so easily.

Lin Shuang didn't want Acheron to go looking for trouble with an Emanator for such a reason.

Even if she had to go, she should choose the right time.

For example, Phantylia, Phantylia, and Phantylia…

The thought of being able to devour an Emanator made her feel like she would ascend to the heavens.

"It's not a risk."

Acheron's response was brief and firm, her tone full of confidence.

But Lin Shuang was still uneasy.

However, she also knew that people like Acheron were the hardest to persuade in their own areas of expertise.

Giving up on the topic for now, Lin Shuang chose to take out a semi-transparent small bottle that looked like crystal from her pocket.

"What is this? Aren't you going to use that card?"

Acheron curiously touched the exquisite small bottle with her hand. She had expected a card like last time, but she didn't expect a small bottle this time.

These two looked like completely different craftsmanship.

"There's only one of those cards, and cards can't hold living things. This is called a Full Load Bottle, and it's more suitable for storing energy sources."

"But I'm not sure if the Suiyang can fit in it."

Lin Shuang explained simply as she unscrewed the cap of the Full Load Bottle.

As the empty Full Load Bottle approached the Suiyang, it automatically activated and began to emit a not-so-powerful suction, attempting to draw the defenseless Suiyang into the bottle.

Threads of flame turned into silk threads and entered the Full Load Bottle. Soon, the white transparent bottle was gradually dyed blue-green.

However, the flames seemed endless and began to surge wildly, growing larger and more vigorous.

The surge of energy even gradually became violent and vigorous!

Boom—Boom—

The roaring sound of flames rising, accompanied by air currents, began to surge between the two. Disordered vibrations, heat and cold, electric currents, light, and other chaotic forms of energy spread out in visible forms.

The blue-green flames grew larger and larger, even expanding to the point of almost engulfing the entire ruin.

But it quickly shrank and weakened due to the suction from the Full Load Bottle.

Acheron watched the Suiyang, which was floating in her palm, being drawn into the bottle amidst the commotion.

The diffused energy did not interfere with her. Acheron just felt that Lin Shuang always managed to pull out some magical little gadgets.

In Acheron's perception, the vast power of the Suiyang seemed to be compressed and concentrated at the small bottle opening.

Even the leaked parts were mostly condensed on the bottle body, forming an opaque blue-green shell at the bottom, top, and opening of the Full Load Bottle.

At the same time, a flame symbol appeared on the bottle.

The flames gradually extinguished until the last wisp of flame entered the bottle, and the Full Load Bottle was considered completely finished.

The system even displayed a prompt:

[Empty Full Load Bottle (Imitation Upgrade) upgraded to: Suiyang Full Load Bottle]

['Ding ding ding—Item quality has been improved, Suiyang Full Load Bottle has been upgraded to Green quality.']

Lin Shuang didn't pay much attention to the system prompt.

However, it was somewhat unexpected that it could improve the quality like this.

As the Suiyang was absorbed into the Full Load Bottle, Lin Shuang even felt that the small bottle in her hand had become noticeably heavier.

Acheron picked up the bottle curiously and examined it closely. It looked like an ordinary small bottle.

She didn't even sense the presence of the Suiyang within the bottle.

"This, like the card, do I insert it into your greatsword?"

Acheron returned the Full Load Bottle to Lin Shuang, who took it and gently twisted the cap:

"It can indeed fit into the greatsword, but... I recall it can be used directly?"

As she spoke, Lin Shuang gave the Full Load Bottle a few gentle shakes.

Immediately, a peculiar power began to flow through her entire body from the bottle, and blue-green flames spread across her.

Her body could withstand it, and this power was indeed much more stable than a Stellaron.

The nature of the energy was ever-changing, sometimes glowing, sometimes discharging, perfectly fitting the characteristics of Suiyang.

It was just that Lin Shuang couldn't control these changes. She could only enjoy the gamble of random transformations.

After trying for a while, Lin Shuang gave up on using it directly. This method was completely inefficient and lacked fine control.

A waste.

Volume 1: Chapter 63 Acheron: Your Face Looks as Tempting as a Peach

Thinking this, Lin Shuang raised her hand and retrieved her greatsword from the flames.

She skillfully opened the slot, and after the card popped out, a slot for installing the Full Load Bottle appeared.

Lin Shuang took out the Stellaron card and inserted the Suiyang Full Load Bottle.

A gentler power surged into Lin Shuang's body.

The red flames transformed into the blue-green of Suiyang, and at the same time, Lin Shuang could feel that the ordinary flames had become a fiery manifestation consistent with Suiyang's characteristics.
