Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Although there is Ying among the people present who will not be affected by the fetal sea water, it is still a bit risky for her.

After all, no one knows what is under the water, or what will happen after Ying goes down.

So...this matter naturally fell on Villette.

He raised his head slightly, looked at the clear water in the pool, and slowly stretched out his right hand.

hum-

With a buzzing sound, the originally calm water surface in front of him began to ripple layer by layer, and a touch of sea-blue light gathered in Villette's right hand, which had just been spread out.

As the sea-blue light in Villette's palm became stronger and stronger, the clear water in the pool began to surge.

With the help of the remaining authority of the water element, Villette's consciousness began to spread along the clear water and gradually go deeper.

As time passed, Villette's consciousness finally spread to the bottom of the clear water.

Here, he "saw" a "line" that was shining with a strange light.

This "line" is like cutting something, dividing the entire pool into two areas.

The upper layer of the "line" is harmless clean water, while the lower layer... is the water from the original fetal sea that can "dissolve" the Fontaine people.

Looking at the water of the original fetal sea that was shining with a strange light, Villette's brows relaxed slightly, and then when he wanted to spread his consciousness to contact it in order to achieve the purpose of resonance...an accident happened.

Before Villette's consciousness touched the fetal sea water that was flashing with a strange light, the "line" that separated the clean water from the fetal sea water directly blocked the spread of his consciousness.

"Well..."

Feeling the pain coming from the depths of his consciousness, Villette's brows, which had just relaxed, frowned again and he let out an unconscious groan.

However, he did not give up, but continued to try to spread his consciousness, trying to find out the reason why it was cut off.

As if sensing that Villette's consciousness was approaching again, the "line" that was shining with a strange light began to gradually twist and deform, eventually forming a purple-black magic circle.

——Just like the seal that Villette placed on the gate of the "Forbidden Zone".

Before Villette's consciousness could take a closer look at the seal, the purple-black magic circle burst out with a very dazzling purple-black light, directly knocking Villette's consciousness back.

However, just when Villette's consciousness was suppressed by this strange magic circle, he sensed a hint of Chang Ming's aura from the magic circle.

......

Villette suddenly opened his eyes, adjusted his overly rapid breathing, then subconsciously touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

Everyone also noticed that Villette's posture had changed, and they all focused their eyes on him, expecting him to give an answer.

And after being silent for a long time, Villette shook his head gently.

"I'm sorry... maybe because the water of the fetal sea is temporarily sealed, I can't resonate with the water of the fetal sea again."

"But this exploration is not without results."

Hearing this, Finina raised her head abruptly, and stared at Villette with her beautiful heterochromatic eyes, waiting for his next speech.

For Funina now, being able to gain something, or in other words... being able to know that Chang Ming has not been "dissolved" is the best news.

As if sensing Furninna's eager gaze, Villette did not keep the secret and said straightforwardly:

"When exploring the space at the bottom of the pool, I found a seal that completely separates normal water from fetal sea water."

"And the resistance of this seal is extremely strong. You could even say that it won't let anyone touch it at all."

"But... I sensed a little bit of Chang Ming's aura on this seal."

Hearing this, Navia fell into deep thought, and then said:

"That is to say... Mr. Chang Ming's current state is definitely not being 'dissolved', but being 'swept away'?"

Villette nodded.

"That's understandable, but if you want more specific information... I'm sorry, I can't help you."

After hearing what Violet and Navia said, Finina's face, which had been tense due to nervousness and worry, finally showed some signs of relaxation.

Although we still haven't found where Chang Ming is, he has not been dissolved, and that's enough.

Furninna knew very well that as long as he was alive, he would never abandon her.

Absolutely not.

Therefore, there is only one thing she needs to do now, which is to play the role of "Water Demon Fukaros" well and wait quietly for Chang Ming to return.

Then she would wait for the prophecy to end and confess to him, and ask him if he knew everything from the beginning to the end as she thought, but chose to remain silent and stay by her side.

Of course, it doesn’t matter what Chang Ming’s answer is, because her affection for him has long been overflowing, and it won’t change because of this answer.

To use an inappropriate analogy, if Funina didn't have that "responsibility"...she and Chang Ming might even have a child.

It seemed that the little cat in Furninna's arms also felt the change in Furninna's mood. It placed its cat head in Furninna's palm, rubbing her palm while making a purring sound.

Navia also noticed the changes in the kitten in Furninna's arms. She blinked slightly and asked in confusion:

"Lady Fu Nina, isn't this... the kitten that Mr. Chang Ming keeps in his office? How did you bring it here?"

After hearing this, Funina's brain froze for a moment, and then began to work rapidly, thinking about what words she should use to explain her behavior.

She certainly couldn't say something like, "I didn't want to believe the fact that Chang Ming fell into the primordial womb sea, so I hugged the cat that he and she raised together to seek some comfort."

But Finnina is Finnina after all. In her five hundred years of performing career, she has learned to use madness to cover up her other emotions.

As a flash of inspiration came to her mind, Funina cleared her throat and slowly spoke:

"...I think there is some kind of bond between pets and their owners, so I want to find Chang Ming through this little guy."

Hearing this, Navia blinked in confusion.

She thought that what Furniture said made some sense, but... not much, but it seemed like something Furniture would say.

Just when Navia wanted to continue asking, Paimon, who was floating nearby, asked a very crucial question.

"By the way, since Chang Ming is not here now... who will take on the work he is usually responsible for?"

"I remember Charlotte said last time that Chang Ming's work involves all aspects of Fontaine. He's not here now... So what are you going to do?"

Hearing this, Navia and Clorinde turned their attention to Funina and Navilette standing aside.

Although they didn't know whose job Chang Ming would take over, but... they were the only two people in Fontaine who had the authority to take over Chang Ming's job.

As if she had noticed everyone's gaze, Furninna lowered her head slightly and played with the little Sanhua in her arms.

——It is the best way to divert attention.

Of course, no one expected Funina to do anything. After all, in the eyes of the people of Fontaine, Funina only had two labels:

"Water God" and "Mascot"

The word "work" has nothing to do with her, and no one expects Funina, who doesn't like clerical work, to suddenly do clerical work.

Seeing this, everyone naturally shifted their gaze away from Finina and onto Villette.

When Villette had just joined Mo Mang Palace, he was actually in charge of all the work that Chang Ming had on his hands.

So...he has at least eleven years of experience, and is more reliable than Funina who has no experience at all.

As if he had figured this out, Villette sighed slightly, and then said without any emotion:

"I have been in charge of clerical work for eleven years, so I should be able to take over Mr. Chang Ming's duties temporarily."

Just as he said this, dark clouds began to gather rapidly in the sky above Fontaine, and the weather, which had originally had a little sunshine, suddenly turned cloudy, as if it was going to rain in the next second.

At this moment, Navrette remembered how it felt to be dominated by paperwork.
