Genshin Impact, Teyvat's own beloved immortal.

The thought of herself being treated like a thief made Funina feel inexplicably resentful.

"Forget it, let's just consider it a challenge for the new role."

She comforted herself, thinking that playing glamorous, positive roles was not a good thing for an actor. Only by challenging herself with different styles of roles could she hone her acting skills to a higher level and make them more perfect.

Arriving at the cell door, Funina peeked out and secretly observed.

She saw two Meloshens standing guard at the cell door, their eyes bright and piercing, like two guardian deities.

Hmm~ Looks like I'll have to do something naughty.

With two muffled thuds, the two guards of the cell, Meilushin, fell to the ground.

Funina stood between them and bowed deeply: "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I'm also very heartbroken! But I had to do this! Please forgive me!"

After apologizing, she bent down, took the key from Melusin, and broke into the cell where Sherlock was being held.

Lu Sheng looked up in confusion and saw an unidentified humanoid creature dressed in all black, his face full of question marks.

"Hmph! I am the Black Cat Phantom Thief. Kid, if you don't want to go to the courtroom, then come with me!"

Although he deliberately lowered his voice, Lu Sheng still recognized who was behind the mask.

What's Funina up to? How dare she come looking for me in the middle of the night?

Could it be that I startled her and caused her to become stressed?

Seeing that the other party remained unmoved, the Black Cat Phantom Thief became anxious and urged, "What are you still standing there for? If you don't leave now, you'll be sent to court tomorrow. The evidence that Zhu Yingting has is enough to convict you. If you're sent to Petersburg, you'll never see the sun again for the rest of your life."

She's here to break her out of prison... What is she thinking?

Could it be that they intend to secretly silence me?

Okay, okay, so you're the scheming version of Fryna, right?

To see what Fu Ningna was up to, Lu Sheng went with her.

The two left the cell. Funina was eager to leave this place of trouble and returned along the same route, only to accidentally bump into Melusin, who had just returned from patrol.

The two locked eyes, and the atmosphere was quite awkward.

It wasn't until Melusin blew the whistle that Funina snapped out of her daze, grabbed Lu Sheng, and ran outside.

"Someone's breaking into prison! Someone's breaking into prison! Beep beep beep beep beep!"

The piercing whistle quickly spread throughout the entire detention center, and the mechanical guards of the Law Enforcement Court and the Melousin of the Shadow Chaser Court were all mobilized to capture the prison breakers and escapees.

Funina's mind went blank. If she were caught, even with her status as the water goddess, she would find it difficult to explain why she did what she did.

Click, click, click!

Suddenly, the sound of a group of mechanical guards approached from ahead.

Behind them were the relentless pursuers, the Meilushin girls.

"Hey! What are you doing?"

Just as Funina was caught in a dilemma, she was suddenly pulled to a corner by a brute force, and then a cold mirror stood up, blocking the two of them.

Oh, what a fraud! He even claimed he didn't know how to use elemental power!

Fu Ningna's heart pounded, and she glared fiercely at Lu Sheng from behind her mask.

The close contact caused her body temperature to rise rapidly.

This is blasphemy against the water god!

But the footsteps coming from outside made her too afraid to move.

"Strange, how come they suddenly disappeared after we chased them all this way?"

Meiluxin's puzzled voice rang out from just a few meters away.

"They must be hiding around here. Search them thoroughly!"

A group of people began searching the area, and the sound grew closer.

Funina bit her lip, her mind filled with the embarrassing scene of being caught.

Oh no, oh no! My beautiful image as the Water God is about to be ruined on this unfortunate night!

At the critical moment, Lu Sheng summoned his clone.

"I see it! It's there!"

"Chase!"

The guards rushed towards Lu Sheng's clone, and the crisis was successfully resolved.

Fu Ningna, unaware of what had happened, instantly relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Great! Although we don't know who lured the guards away, let's get out of here while we can!"

The two quickly escaped from the prison, turned into a small alley, and found a carriage that had been prepared in advance parked across the street.

"boarding!"

Fu Ningna hurriedly pushed Lu Sheng into the carriage, closed the door, and locked it from the outside.

Why did you lock the door?

Lu Sheng then realized that the carriage was filled with thick steel plates.

Without a doubt, this was an elaborately prepared cage specifically designed to imprison him.

Ignoring Lu Sheng's question, Fu Ningna took out an extremely thick iron chain from under the seat and wrapped the carriage with layers of chains.

She then decisively climbed onto the carriage and sped away from the scene.

P.S. I caught a cold yesterday and took a day off. It wasn't a pigeon, so I didn't go to the palace.

Fontaine Chapter: Chapter 140: Frinina's Tears

Click...thump...

After a series of mechanical sounds, Lu Sheng felt the carriage being lifted up, moved a distance in the air, and then lowered back to the ground.

After a brief moment of calm, the metal plate on the car window was removed, and dim light shone in.

Through the narrow view of the car window, he saw that he had been moved to a closed facility.

Just as he was wondering where he was, Funina's big head suddenly popped out.

She has already removed her mask, revealing her true identity.

"Isn't this Lord Water God?" Rikuo feigned surprise perfectly. "What do you want with me after you got me out of prison? I'm going to be put on trial tomorrow."

"Hmph! You liar!" Funina stood with her hands on her hips, staring at Lu Sheng with a scrutinizing gaze. "You said you couldn't use elemental power, but I easily tricked you into admitting it, didn't I?"

"Please, if I hadn't done anything, how were you and I supposed to get out of this predicament?"

"That's a different matter! The point is that you lied!"

"Sometimes, lying isn't a bad thing. There are many white lies in this world. Have you never lied before, Lord Water God?"

Furnessa's expression changed drastically. Seeing Sherlock's smug look, she really wanted to teach him a lesson.

But if we really let him out, we might not be able to beat him.

"Speaking of which, what is your purpose in going to such lengths to bring me here? You don't mean to skip the trial and just kill me, do you? That's against the laws of Fontaine. As a god, you can't break the law."

"Don't make wild guesses about things that don't exist. If I really wanted to silence you, I wouldn't need to do it myself."

Funina composed herself and steered the conversation back on track.

"I ask you, what is your true purpose in coming to Fontaine?"

Seeing this, Lu Sheng became even more certain that the question he had asked during the interrogation that afternoon had aroused Fu Ningna's suspicion. So he decided to tease Fu Ningna and confessed, "Okay, I admit it. I did take 500,000 Mora from the Fools and came to Fontaine specifically to cause trouble. So what?"

"Ha! I knew it! It must be the Fools! They finally admitted it themselves!"

"Yes, I plead guilty, so please send me back. Tomorrow in court, I will confess all my crimes truthfully and strive for leniency."

“Uh…no!” Funina shouted.

If we take him to court, who knows what strange things he might say.

It's better to be safe than sorry; I absolutely cannot allow even the slightest accident to happen.

"Why? I've already confessed."

“You definitely have even more sinister motives you haven’t revealed! I’ve seen through you! You’re full of bad intentions, and now that no one is recording your statement, who knows if you’ll suddenly recant your testimony tomorrow?”

Lu Sheng expressed his doubts, "You are the Water God. If I confess my crimes to your face, do I need any confession? You can speak as a witness in court. Do you think the people of Fengdan won't believe you? Or are you not so confident in your authority as the Water God?"

Funina's eyes narrowed sharply.

Here we go again! This guy is hinting at something weird again! He definitely knows some secrets!

Now we absolutely cannot send him to court!

If he were to confess to impersonating the water god in front of all the people of Fontainebleau, in front of the Cardinal and the Chief Justice Navilette...

No, no! We absolutely cannot let that happen!

"Nonsense! I am the real Water Goddess! How could I lack confidence in my authority... It's just... I can't take you to court until you reveal your true purpose."

"If what I say aligns with your expectations, what will you do?"

Lu Sheng has completely stopped pretending.

If I keep teasing Silly Fu, I'm afraid I'll cause her to develop a mental illness.

Since it was just him and Funina here, they decided to be frank.

She was just an ordinary girl, a pitiful person who played herself to the point of losing herself.

Whether Furna ultimately wants to kill him, lock him up, or deport him is irrelevant.

He wanted to see just how far Furness would go to keep the secret.

Funina gritted her teeth, her heart filled with immense inner turmoil.

After a long while, her wavering gaze hardened again, and she said in an unprecedentedly cold tone, "If your existence affects Fontaine's future, I, Funina, will personally eliminate you!"

Lu Sheng smiled; this was the answer he most wanted to hear.
