On the beach near Fontainebleau.

Funina squatted on the beach, poking the belly of the bloated beast with her hand, muttering something from time to time.

As Chao Ke took a few steps closer, the gentle sea breeze carried with it the murmurs of this "water demon god."

"what the hell..."

"I'm unusually free today, so I'd like to participate in the work of the Mo Mang Palace and set an example for my subjects..."

“But Violet actually refused, saying that ‘there is no important task that can be entrusted to the gods at present.’”

"What? They clearly don't want me to get involved..."

"I'll poke you, I'll poke you!"

"Navilette!"

While chanting Vilet's name, Funina kept poking at the belly of the chubby beast with her little hands.

Even the good-natured Puffy Beast turned its head away, issuing a silent protest.

Fu Ningna didn't stop.

After poking around for a while, Funina probably got tired and simply sat down on the clean sand nearby.

As she watched the golden sunset cast its glow over the ocean and mountains, Funina couldn't help but sigh.

"Although I was a little disappointed."

"However, it's a good thing to have these substitutes around."

"I've heard that gods in other countries always have endless big and small things to worry about. I guess it's not easy for me to have this leisurely life..."

Fufu is really thick-skinned; Chao Ke was almost right in front of her face and she didn't react at all.

Perhaps her long-term comfortable life made her lower her guard.

Deep down, she believed that no one would dare to ambush or challenge the majesty of a god, so within Fontaine, Funina always considered herself absolutely safe.

Perhaps it was the increased confidence brought about by his strength that made Chao Ke less timid and hesitant than when he first obtained the system.

At least, Chao Ke would dare to greet someone with a divine destiny.

"Good afternoon, Miss Funina."

"Ah! Who?"

Fu Ningna was clearly quite startled by Chao Ke's sudden greeting.

She quickly turned around to look at Chao Ke, and said in a somewhat flustered manner.

"When did you come here?!"

"Forehead..."

"It probably started when you criticized the Supreme Judge, Mr. Navelette?"

Funina was stunned for a moment, then she came to her senses.

"Damn it! How dare you eavesdrop on the words of the gods! In the name of the Water God, I command you to forget what just happened!"

At least, Fu Ningna's threatening words had no deterrent effect on Chao Ke; on the contrary, they were somewhat endearing.

Chao Ke felt an urge to pinch Funina's cheek.

But at this moment, Chao Ke discovered something even more interesting.

"Miss Funina, what's that red patch on your forehead?"

Funina was taken aback, then remembered that when she was playing with the hat jellyfish a while ago, a bubble from it had hit her right in the face.

The red mark on her forehead is a trace that hasn't faded yet...

Funina quickly pulled her hat down to cover the red mark remaining on her forehead.

"This...you shouldn't ask about this; it's a secret of the gods. But did you understand what I just told you?"

But a strange smile appeared on Chao Ke's lips.

"Miss Furina, what a pity, I am not a citizen of Fontaine!"

"Well, to make me forget what you just said about Mr. Villette, you should at least give me a price that satisfies me, right?"

"Wha...what?"

Funina took a few steps back, a look of panic on her face.

"What...what do you want to do?"

"Wait, I recognize you! You're from the Fatui! The adjutant of the fourth executive officer of the Fatui."

"Oh?"

Chao Ke showed a hint of interest.

"It's an honor that Miss Funina knows me."

"However, we should also talk about the cost."

“Miss Furnessa, you wouldn’t want your gossip about the Supreme Judge Navelette to make headlines in tomorrow’s Steambird newspaper, would you?”

Funina's face showed obvious panic, and she didn't even bother to cover up the red mark on her forehead.

He quickly said, "No! You can't do that!"

"Oh? So Miss Funina means you're prepared to pay a price to shut me up?"

Funina lowered her head dejectedly. "Tell me your terms, you wretched fools."

Seeing Fufu back down, Chao Ke's eyes gleamed.

"I've been waiting for your words!"

As soon as Funina finished speaking, Chao Ke placed his sinful hands on Funina's left and right cheeks and began to gently knead and lift them.

"Ugh! Wait! Ugh!"

"Um! I haven't, um! agreed to your, um! request yet..."

But obviously, Chao Ke, who was already fondling her, couldn't care less about that. In any case, with Fu Fu's strength, she couldn't escape Chao Ke's grasp.

After a while, Chao Ke released his hands with satisfaction.

In his past life, Chao Ke had wanted to rub Fu Fu's little face, and now he could say he had fulfilled his wish.

At this moment, Funina's face was slightly flushed, and with a touch of red on her forehead, she looked both cute and a little comical.

Yes, I like Chao Ke even more.

But it's clear that at this moment, Funina probably doesn't have any romantic feelings for Chao Ke.

"How dare you offend the gods like this! As the god of justice, I will duel you in court!"

Fu Ningna, puffing out her cheeks, said to Chao Ke.

"Oh?"

"Shall the trial proceed in the presence of the very same Supreme Judge, Mr. Navelette, whom you just arranged?"

Funina: "?"

"You fouled! You already... we can't bring this up anymore."

Chao Ke revealed a smile of triumph.

"So, Miss Funina, you're admitting that pinching your cheek just now was your reward for making me forget about it!"

"In that case, my pinching your cheek is considered to have your approval, and it can't be considered an offense against the gods."

Fu Ningna naturally wouldn't let Chao Ke escape so easily.

"No, I didn't admit to pinching my cheek just now. It was my reward for making you forget!"

"What you just did was an offense against me, the Water Demon God Fucarus!"

But Fu Ningna's attempt to intimidate Chao Ke clearly failed.

Moreover, Chao Ke's smile was even more pronounced.

"Oh?"

"Is the Water Demon Lord truly here?"

Funina replied, "That's certainly true."

"Oh!"

"But if that's the case, there's still one condition you haven't met for me."

"And my condition is that you also forget my offensive behavior of pinching your face."

"Isn't it fair to forget each other like this?"

Funina was somewhat stunned. "So, you can do that..."

"What cunning fools..."

Chapter 126 Shocking! Chao Ke actually made Funina groan!

Funina sighed and lowered her head.

Even though she was unwilling, she had no choice but to accept it.

"Humph."

Funina snorted coldly.

"Rejoice, you cunning stranger! Your experience of persuading me, the Water Demon God Fucarus, will be a glory you can boast about for the rest of your life."

After saying that, Funina turned around, no longer looking at Chao Ke, and instead squatted down to continue "persecuting" the cute puffy beast next to her.

Although Funina ignored him, Chao Ke did not leave.

Instead, they continued to watch from behind her.
