Honkai Star Rail: Starting With Marrying Acheron

Chapter 4: We Have to Fill the Missing Piece.



Acheron, who had returned to her previous state, looked at Lin Shuang's frightened expression and quietly withdrew her hand:

"What's wrong?"

"No, nothing..."

Lin Shuang shook her head and quickly denied it. She picked up Acheron's long hair again.

Acheron guessed it? But I clearly didn't say the key words...

Lin Shuang fell into deep confusion.

But the person who just spoke was obviously that 'Acheron,' so she didn't dare to ask.

It's okay; it's not a big problem. If Acheron doesn't tell you, then she doesn't know!

Now that it has come to this, there is no time to regret her decisions.

She encouraged herself nervously and focused on tying the knot.

As for kissing and the bridal chamber.

That's definitely impossible. This kind of intimate contact can't be made up no matter what.

Of course, Lin Shuang was also a little worried. She didn't know whether the system would recognize this simple ceremony as a wedding.

But fortunately, when Lin Shuang clumsily finished tying Acheron's long hair.

The system prompt for the completion of the novice task popped up:

[Target: Acheron]

[Relationship: Husband and wife]

[Newbie Mission: Court Acheron.]

[The more passionate the feelings, the deeper the impression will be. (Overfulfilled)]

['Doesn't your conscience hurt for tricking an ignorant elder sister into marrying you? As expected, you are a born scumbag!']

[Novice Mission Reward: One Purple Card Draw, Extra Reward: A Pair of Wedding Rings]

[Taking shortcuts will reduce the reward level, and the next time it will be downgraded to green.]

Reward downgrade? Additional rewards?

Lin Shuang was stunned for a moment. It seemed that although her reward was downgraded due to her cheating, it was still an overachievement for a novice mission.

So a pair of rings was given?

Let's put aside the card drawing for now and look at the description of the pair of rings.

[Couple Rings: A pair of ordinary wedding rings]

['Although the ring is ordinary, love is eternal, and even time cannot fade it.'] Of course, you, a scumbag who cheats on marriage, can just read the description. It is not written for you.']

"…"

Hard, the fist is hard.

Who wrote this crappy review?

"Hah…"

Lin Shuang let out a long sigh and forced herself to ignore the comments.

Acheron in front of her felt the hand on her hair loosen and turned to look at Lin Shuang:

"Finished?"

"Yeah, it's done."

Lin Shuang nodded, suppressed the thoughts in her mind, and took out a pair of rings from her pocket.

The ring was made of silver-white metal, and the beautiful carvings are exquisite yet not overly fancy.

"This is what I had with me before I fell. It's just in time to be used. It's a ceremonial certificate worn on the ring finger of the left hand. Do you mind wearing it?"

As she spoke, Lin Shuang looked down at Acheron's left hand, which was covered by a black glove.

Then Acheron raised her hand, gently took off her gloves, and handed her crystal-clear and slender fingers that seemed natural to her to Lin Shuang.

"Are we going to put them on each other?"

Now that the mission is accomplished, technically there is no need to wear them on each other.

However, Acheron's unhesitating action made Lin Shuang inexplicably nervous.

She carefully took Acheron's hand, a delicate palm, so soft and tender that it didn't seem like that of a warrior wielding a sword.

Lin Shuang looked at the ring she was holding up, then looked at Acheron's palm placed in hers, and an inexplicable throbbing surged from her heart.

"Yes, yes..."

Lin Shuang swallowed her saliva. She didn't understand why she had been looking at a hand for such a long time.

But after seeing Acheron take off her gloves and now holding Acheron's hand, she behaved like an embarrassed and shy girl.

She carefully put the ring on Acheron's ring finger. The originally loose size automatically tightened to perfectly fit Acheron's size.

Then.

Before Lin Shuang could react.

Acheron took the initiative to hold Lin Shuang's hand and turned it over so that the back of Lin Shuang's hand was facing upwards.

She picked up the other ring and put it on Lin Shuang decisively but delicately.

"Is the ritual complete?"

She did not let go of her hand immediately. Acheron's voice awakened the somewhat dazed Lin Shuang.

"Oh, yeah, it's done. Thank you, Acheron, for cooperating with me in this ceremony."

Lin Shuang nervously withdrew her hand, clenched her fist, and held it against her chest.

The glittering silver wedding ring sparkled brightly and caught Acheron's gaze.

As if in response, the ring on Acheron's ring finger also flashed a light.

Inexplicably, it felt as if bright moonlight was softly shining in Acheron's heart.

Even Acheron, who should have been calm, was slightly dazed looking at Lin Shuang.

"Acheron?"

After coming back to her senses, Acheron saw Lin Shuang's concerned gaze and regained her usual calmness. She raised her hand and took off the red clothes on her body.

"I'm okay. Have you gained strength compared to me?"

"It should be there. Let me try."

Only at this moment did Lin Shuang remember her purple card draw.

The system's judgment obviously downgraded the reward, because according to the information previously given by the system, if you get married, it should be gold.

But it was obvious that Lin Shuang used a trick to downgrade the gold to purple.

However, the purple color made Lin Shuang very satisfied. After all, it was a good job of getting something for minimal effort.

I guess there won't be any chance next time.

Thinking of this, Lin Shuang silently said in her heart:

Draw a card!

Accompanied by a deep purple flash before her eyes.

[The Herrscher of Flamescion Core (High Replica Toy Version)]

['Isn't it normal for China to combine several effects into one? It's absolutely a one-to-one replica. Of course, I mean the special effects. As for the power, it depends on what energy you can provide.']

['I know what you want to say. Those who understand will understand. Anyway, since you are here, you have to make up for the missing power.']

Grr…

Lin Shuang now strongly suspects that there is something seriously wrong with this system.

Where the hell did this core come from in the original game? You can't imitate it at all.

But it does have that abstract mix-and-match vibe of supermarket toys.

But in Acheron's eyes.

Lin Shuang nodded slightly and looked thoughtful for a moment.

The flickering flames gradually spread, and Acheron could feel a force rapidly strengthening Lin Shuang's body.

At the same time, clothes that were originally unsuitable for combat were quickly replaced.

The flames clung to Lin Shuang's body, like a blooming red lotus, and her outfit turned into white armor. The swaying sparks were dragged into a long and narrow cloak.

The long white hair was tied into a ponytail, and a huge sword with a broad blade was forged in the flames.

The lit gems inlaid on the sword looked crystal clear.

Everything looks extremely gorgeous and stylish.

The raging flames released high temperature and light, appearing extremely aggressive.

Acheron looked at all these changes in surprise. She didn't expect that what Lin Shuang said was actually true.

Or rather, she had never thought about how such a simple ritual could bring about such a level of power out of thin air.

There was neither the gaze of an Aeon nor the existence of any source of power; this power seemed to have truly appeared out of thin air.

Although Acheron's memory is incomplete, she can still judge that such a scene must be the most outrageous one even across space.

Even someone as calm as Acheron couldn't help but feel a little curious when she looked at the girl in the flames.
