Acheron, Do you Mind Cooperating with me in Performing a Ceremony?

Lin Shuang followed Acheron and walked among the ruins.

Fallen signboards, broken roads, and tall buildings covered with vines.

The traces of former civilization have now completely turned into ruins.

It was the first time that Lin Shuang witnessed with her own eyes what a civilization heading towards destruction looked like.

"Acheron, why did you come here? For the Stellaron?"

Seeing Acheron once again using her scabbard to kill the monsters like she was chopping vegetables and melons, Lin Shuang asked questions out of curiosity.

"No, I was just passing by, but I didn't expect to encounter a Stellaron, and as a result, the route was blocked, so I had to make an emergency landing. I wanted to come and take a look, but I didn't expect that the civilization here has completely disappeared."

Acheron spoke calmly, as if all this was as casual as going out for lunch.

Having said that, Acheron suddenly turned her head to look at the girl next to her, who looked powerless except for her strong body.

"I was planning to leave, but I didn't expect to meet you. Your body is too weak. If you want to leave here, you need a spaceship."

Acheron can cross the barrier generated by the Stellaron alone, but Lin Shuang cannot. She needs at least a spacecraft for protection.

Since she had seen her fall and had just extended her hand, Acheron naturally intended to take responsibility to the end.

When Lin Shuang heard this, she felt a little complicated for a moment.

"Then you are my savior. If I were to fall here by myself, I definitely wouldn't be able to survive."

"Hmm."

Acheron nodded slightly, although Lin Shuang wasn't sure whether she was confirming the first sentence or the second sentence.

But at this moment, the system gave a prompt in time:

[Establishing a Relationship with Acheron: Lifesaver]

[Although the relationship is special, it is far from the system goal. The novice task completion is not enough, and a white card draw is rewarded.]

[Will you use the white card drawing opportunity?]

Seeing the system prompt, Lin Shuang blinked.

She's beginning to understand the meaning of this system.

There are four levels of card drawing: white, green, purple, and gold. Maybe even a relationship as ordinary friends can get a green card.

But Lin Shuang didn't care.

She was just trying the system out and didn't expect it to actually trigger.

In addition, even though it's only the lowest level of card drawing, it's still a card drawing.

And based on the issue of probability, there is also an extremely low probability of getting a high-level reward when drawing a white card. It is nothing more than a matter of luck.

'Draw a card!'

Lin Shuang chose to draw a card without hesitation.

Then, a white light flashed in her vision, and a card appeared in front of her.

[Storage Card: Ordinary? Storage card, no size limit, but can only store one item and cannot store living things.

["Don't even think about it. Even if you bundle things together, they can't be considered as 'one item.'. But I still have a question. Is Nous and IX even considered living creatures?"]

Lin Shuang looked at the card introduction, and her lips couldn't help but twitch. The system wanted to recruit star gods with a white card? Why don't you just tell me to go to heaven?

But the first time she drew a card, she failed.

Lin Shuang secretly sighed in her heart that she was indeed an unlucky soul. Even after becoming a beautiful girl, she was still unlucky.

At this moment, Acheron suddenly spoke:

"What's wrong with you? Are you worried?"

Hearing Acheron's voice, Lin Shuang withdrew her attention and met Acheron's neutral but concerned eyes.

Randomly, she thought to herself for a few seconds before opening her mouth to respond.

"No, I just wonder if it's too much trouble for you. It shouldn't be easy to take me away from the influence range of the Stellaron."

"No, it's just a small matter."

Acheron paused for a moment, then added:

"I'm not saying you're weak; it's just that this is really easy for me."

Lin Shuang felt helpless. She knew what Acheron was saying was right. Although the truth was a bit heartbreaking, she still smiled and nodded:

"I know, but I still want to gain some power, at least so that I won't be a burden to you."

Acheron actually wanted to say that for the time being, even if Lin Shuang somehow absorbed the Stellaron, it would be difficult to not be a burden.

But after thinking about it, she kept her mouth closed, not denying or confirming Lin Shuang's words.

Seeing that Acheron did not comment, Lin Shuang took the opportunity to ask:

"Acheron, do you mind cooperating with me in a ritual? For you, it is absolutely just a simple formality and does not involve anything bad. If you feel something is wrong, you can interrupt it at any time."

Lin Shuang carefully chose her words, hiding words that might reveal the meaning of marriage and replacing them with more neutral words.

As for why, it all comes down to the function of Synesthesia Beacons.

As a translation system that directly reads thought activities, the Synesthesia Beacon can accurately translate the meaning of her words.

Despite Lin Shuang's caution, even if Acheron did not understand the meaning of "marriage," and even if there is no concept of marriage in her hometown, under the effect of the Synesthesia Beacon, Acheron was able to immediately understand the intimate relationship represented by "marriage."

"Just a formality? Doesn't that mean anything to you?"

Acheron stared at Lin Shuang. As a Galaxy Ranger and an Emanator, she could roughly sense Lin Shuang's emotions. The other party seemed to have some plans but had no intention of hurting her.

"Well, I can gain some power through the ritual. This is just a ritual that exists in my hometown. Normally, it should be held by fellow villagers. But for now, the ritual is only effective for us. For outsiders, it is just a simple formality."

Lin Shuang thought she was not very good at lying, so she just told the truth while hiding some words.

She can indeed draw cards and gain power by holding the ceremony, and the wedding ceremony she was thinking of does indeed only exist in her hometown, and she must be marrying an Earthling, and the marriage law certainly has no binding force on aliens.

"But anyways, the conditions are simple, and I don't know whether the simplified ritual will be effective, so I would like to ask Acheron for some assistance."

The only problem was that Lin Shuang didn't remember the entire wedding ceremony, whether it was Chinese or Western. She only remembered a few key parts.

She doesn't know whether the system will recognize it as valid or not.

After saying this, Lin Shuang's gaze slightly shifted from Acheron's face to her chest.

It must be noted that Acheron has a very beautiful figure, with perfect curves that are enviable for the average female.

Acheron looked at the white-haired girl, who seemed quite uneasy. She never rejected encounters across the stars and was confident in her own strength.

So she spoke.

"Okay, how can I cooperate with you?"

"!"

"You promised?"

Lin Shuang raised her head with a look of surprise and joy on her face, and Acheron looked at the girl and nodded.

After receiving the affirmation, Lin Shuang immediately began to look around. As expected of an alien civilization, the creations on the planet are naturally different, but as they are all man-made, some similarities can always be found.

"The ritual is simple, but it requires some preparation. Can I look for something useful around here?"

Lin Shuang asked.

"I'll accompany you."

Acheron held the knife and had no intention of letting Lin Shuang act alone.

The planet was filled with creatures of the Rift, and no place was safe except by her side.

T/N: Guys, if you want to know what the MC looks like, just think of her as a Kiana Expy. It's really iffy in the beginning chapters, but in the later chapters it's written that she looks extremely similar to Kiana Kaslana from Honkai Impact 3rd.

I fucking love Yuri by the way, so I'm happy.

It's basically Kiana x Mei lol.
