Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

"Ah! Why is it raining so hard!!! We have helped Fontaine so much, why didn't Leosli bring us an umbrella!!!"

Feeling the rain hitting him continuously, Paimeng felt a little crazy for a moment.

It was just cloudy when we came back from Baisong Town yesterday, why did it rain so heavily today?

The strangeness of the weather changes is comparable to that of Inazuma and Sumeru Rainforest!

Ying looked at Paimon who was in a dilemma because of the heavy rain, sighed softly, and then took out a black umbrella from her four-dimensional backpack.

"The Duke actually handed us umbrellas, but he didn't have the size you could use, so he gave me one instead."

As Ying spoke, she opened an umbrella, giving herself and Paimon a place to stay in the pouring rain.

"Uh... So that's how it is..."

Paimeng scratched his head a little embarrassedly, then shook his head. Looking at the heavy rain in front of him that even formed rain curtains, he felt a little angry for a moment.

She raised her head slightly, looked at the gloomy sky, and shouted loudly:

"Shuilong, Shuilong, stop crying!!!"

......

After Paimeng made a brief complaint, Ying brought Paimeng to Momang Palace.

Putting aside the need for repairs, they still had to go to Mo Mang Palace to find Na Vilette and discuss future explorations.

As for the compensation that Chang Ming had promised to give them... Ying and Paimeng unanimously decided to wait until Chang Ming returned to settle the accounts.

In response, Paimeng expressed his intention to settle accounts with Chang Ming for what he had done to them before.

However, Ying did not hold out any hope for this.

First of all, she didn't think this was a calculation. Secondly...even if she thought it was a calculation, she didn't think that she and Paimon could defeat the meticulous Chang Ming.

Because she and Paimon together only have half a heart.

——There is only one of her and Paimon is missing half, so together they only have half.

Chang Ming has been the regent for nearly five hundred years. He is much more formidable than the two of them in terms of human relationships and scheming. It is no exaggeration to say that he has eight hundred tricks.

From this perspective...it's impossible to win no matter how hard you try.

"Hmm? It's you guys? Are you here to see Lady Funina? Or...are you here to see Lady Villette?"

Sedna's voice brought Ying's thoughts back to reality. Looking at the lovely Melusin in front of her, Ying nodded gently.

"We came to see Villette to talk about the exploration of the ruins."

"Yeah, I see. Lord Villette is in the office now. I'll go ask for you."

After saying that, Sedna quickly walked towards Villette's office.

Paimon looked at Sedna's gradually receding back and felt a little worried for a moment.

Although she and Ying did not come to Momang Palace very often, she was able to see Sedna every time, and she was always in charge of tasks such as reporting.

Before Chang Ming got into trouble, Sedna always walked in a skipping manner, as if she was in a good mood every moment.

But now...she basically stopped jumping, it was as if she was simply walking, without any ups and downs, as if she was worried about something.

This is not the point. The point is... Sedna did not show any bad emotions from beginning to end, as if she was completely unaffected.

Thinking of this, Paimon's mood gradually became depressed and he didn't know what to do.

Ying also noticed Paimon's emotions, and naturally noticed Sedna's changes.

She sighed softly, then began to speak:

"Let's ask Sedna later, and when we go to Baisong Town, ask Navia if she has any more clues."

Hearing this, Paimon nodded quickly like a chick pecking at rice, and then stopped talking.

......

About three minutes later, Sedna came in front of the two of them.

"Sorry for the long wait, Lord Villette said that the time for exploring the ruins depends on you. Since he has a lot of work on his hands right now, he may not be able to arrive immediately. Please understand."

"Also, regarding the commission fees for the two of you... Lord Villette has provided a solution."

Having said that, Sedna paused for a moment, then began to speak:

"If Lord Chang Ming returns before you two plan to leave Fontaine, then the settlement work will be handed over to Chang Ming."

"If Lord Chang Ming still hasn't returned when you two leave, please come to Mo Mang Palace to settle the account."

Hearing this, Ying nodded slightly. These contents were within her expectations.

After Ying and Paimon briefly exchanged glances, Paimon spoke to Sedna in front of him:

"Sedna, we are going to explore the ruins later. Please talk to Villette."

"Yeah, okay, I'll go right away~"

However, before Sedna could leave, Paimon called her.

"Sedna!"

"Hmm? What's up, guest? Is there anything else?"

"Uh..."

Paimon scratched his head in silence, and after a while he slowly spoke:

"Sedna...We will definitely help you find Chang Ming!"

Hearing this, Ying's mouth twitched involuntarily, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Sedna blinked, as if she could see the two people's worry about her. She shook her head gently and said:

"You two don't have to worry about me so much. I have always firmly believed that Lord Chang Ming will come back, but..."

Sedna lowered her head slightly and muttered softly:

"I'm still a little uncomfortable without Master Chang Ming here..."

After saying this, Sedna raised her head and said to the two of them with a smile:

"For me, as long as I complete the tasks assigned to me by Lord Chang Ming step by step, and then when he comes back, he will definitely be very happy!"

"This is the job and responsibility that Lord Chang Ming has entrusted to me, so I should do it well~"

"Excuse me, both of you~"

After that, Sedna walked towards Villette's office.

Looking at that petite but resolute figure, Ying felt a little emotional for a moment.

"As expected... You will be affected by the kind of people you are with... Even Meilushin who is next to Chang Ming is in this situation. It's really hard to imagine..."

As Ying thought about this, she focused her eyes on the heavy rain outside the window and whispered:

"But...who influenced you?"

......

After saying goodbye to Sedna, Ying and Paimon rushed to the location of the ruins without stopping.

For them, every minute and every second now is precious.

After all... they all saw the tragic scene in Baisong Town.

If they were to ask themselves, they didn't want to see this kind of scene happen again, so... they had to speed up and try to find a glimmer of hope for Fontaine before that ending came.

However, when they approached the ruins...they saw an unexpected figure.

A woman wearing a silver-white women's suit, a thick silver-white cloak and holding a black umbrella stood in the rain, as if waiting for something.

Looking at that figure, Ying narrowed her eyes slightly, and her alertness was immediately raised to the highest level.

"That's... a "servant"?! Why is she here?!"

Paimon couldn't help but scream, as if what she saw at this moment was not a person, but an elusive ghost.

Alechino also noticed them. She turned around gently, looked at the two people in front of her and said softly:

"You two, do you need some...intelligence sharing?"
