Genshin Impact, Teyvat's own beloved immortal.

In particular, the act of burning the photos at the end demonstrated the indifference and authority befitting a ruler.

Funina basked in the adoration and cheers of her people.

The applause I received after a performance was a completely different experience from what I usually get.

This is a cheer for the water goddess Funyna, not for the actress Funyna.

Fontaine Chapter: Chapter 161: The 69 Style

With the trial of Marcel concluded, Fontaine solved the serial disappearances of teenage girls that had plagued the city for over two decades, and the entire city was immersed in joy.

Parents no longer need to worry about their beloved daughters suffering undeserved misfortune, and teenagers no longer need to fear that their close lovers will suddenly disappear without a trace.

But while some rejoiced, others grieved. In the Mo Mang Palace, Navelette was overwhelmed with worry because of the appearance of the primordial seawater.

The mysterious girl's words that day, and the sudden appearance of the primordial seawater that could dissolve the Fontaine people, all prove one thing.

The prophecy in the Legend of Fontainebleau may actually come true.

According to observations in recent years, sea levels have indeed risen considerably in some areas.

If a disaster were to actually occur, how should we respond?

Navelette summoned Funina, wanting to ask the water goddess for her opinion.

"What brings you here, Chief Justice?"

Fu Ningna rushed to the office as soon as she received the news.

Navelette cut to the chase: "How much do you know about the prophecy that Fontaine will be submerged?"

"The prophecy... I've heard about it for a long time. It's just that the sea in Fontainebleau will rise and I will cry alone on the throne."

"Not so much? You seem completely unconcerned about it."

Fulina sighed, "Ah~ Who knows about prophecies? If the whole country is led by the nose by a prophecy, then we're doomed."

Navelette cautioned, "But the rising sea levels and the discovery of primordial seawater are facts. We cannot gamble with the lives of the entire nation's people."

"Don't worry, I will absolutely not let the prophecy happen. I am the Water Goddess, an omnipotent deity! You want me to cry? Impossible! I have never shed a single tear since I was born!"

Seeing Funina's confidence, Vilette was still a little uneasy. "We have to do something, just in case."

"Yes, we should do something, so... I have already ordered people to build a ship."

"shipbuilding?"

"Yeah, the prophecy says the sea level will rise, right? As long as everyone gets on the ship, everything will be fine, right?"

"So this is the solution? It's not a bad approach... By the way, any new information about the investigation into Sherlock? You seem to have a good relationship with him; he's even willing to be your dueling agent."

Funina smiled awkwardly, "Of course, with my personal charm, who wouldn't be captivated by my beauty?"

Navilette: "..."

"To be honest, there's not much to investigate about him; he's just an ordinary person with great abilities."

"Is he just very strong? I think he's a bit too strong..." A hint of worry flashed in Vilette's eyes. "But never mind, since he has a good relationship with you, I think at least he won't harm Fontaine. I'll visit him in person later."

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. There are still many reporters waiting to interview me outside."

As Funina walked out of the office, her face immediately fell.

She was also very worried about what Fontaine had predicted, but she could only pretend to be relaxed in front of Navelette.

This matter concerns the survival of the nation; it is an immense responsibility that she, Funina, cannot bear.

No matter how much you hypnotize yourself, power will not appear out of thin air, and the authority of the water god will never be exercised from your body.

After dealing with the reporters, I still need to find Sherlock and ask him what to do next.

Black Cat Detective Agency.

Lu Sheng returned home and had barely sat down when he suddenly smelled a familiar perfume scent.

A beautiful face instantly flashed into his mind.

Turning her head to look out the window where the fragrance was coming from, she saw Rosalyn perched on the windowsill like a Persian cat, her long golden hair hanging down naturally, her hand supporting her cheek, looking at her with a charming expression.

The young man from mainland China immediately stood at attention.

"Sir? It's been a long time."

"Hehe~ Commander?" Rosalyn curled her red lips. "You dare to call me that, but I wouldn't dare to acknowledge you."

Lu Sheng saluted her. "What are you saying? You call me 'sir' all my life. I am nominally the debt collector for the Fools. Isn't it only right that I call you 'sir'?"

"Come in, have a seat. Coffee or tea? I have everything!"

Rosalyn appeared in the room in an instant, sat down without any ceremony, and ordered a cup of black tea.

She picked up the teacup and cautiously brought it to her nose to sniff.

"Don't worry, this isn't a sedative tea."

Despite Lu Sheng's words, Rosalyn still checked it before taking a small sip.

She put down her teacup, crossed her legs, and stared directly at Lu Sheng, asking, "So, what are you up to in Fontainebleau this time? Are you after the Heart of the Water God? If I remember correctly, the Heart of the Thunder God is still with you, isn't it?"

"Yes and no."

Lu Sheng's answer was baffling.

"But your appearance in Fontaine is quite unexpected, and young master... I say, you're not the one who instructed Marcel to do those things behind the scenes, are you?"

"What? Me? How could I be bored? I only recently arrived in Fontainebleau, with that idiot D'Artagnan. But I'm not sure why he's with Marcel either. We have a terrible relationship. I went to find my servant as soon as I arrived in Fontainebleau. You can go to the Northern Bank, which the young master often contacts, to find out the reason."

"Speaking of which, you really gave me a good thrashing today! I've had enough of that idiot D'Artagnan's self-righteous attitude. He only realizes how ignorant he is when he hits a snag."

Lu Sheng's inner thoughts: You're not much better yourself...

Rosalind paused, then asked with some concern, "You didn't kill him, did you?"

"He shouldn't have died; his master rescued him."

“That’s fine then. It’s not that I’m worried about you, young master, but if you kill an executive officer in public, the Fools will definitely not let you off the hook. I can report to headquarters that you’ve simply gone missing.”

Lu Sheng: "I'm also a member of the Fools, how can you treat me like this?"

"Haha!" Rosalyn couldn't help but laugh out loud. "You mean the Fools who tried to steal the Heart of God from the Queen? I only kept this secret for you because you saved my life, otherwise you would have been the Fools's most wanted person long ago."

Lu Sheng sighed helplessly: "Alas~ I never thought that my sincere feelings for the Fools would be misunderstood like this. How can it not be considered loyalty if I collect all the Hearts of God and then offer them to the Queen?"

Rosalind gave him a disdainful look.

It's utterly despicable to say such things without any shame.

"Let's make this clear first, I've already repaid your favor in Inazuma. This time in Fontaine, we'll each rely on our own abilities. Whoever gets the Heart of God first gets it."

Lu Sheng responded: "Even if you get it, I'll still try to snatch it, but I'll definitely get it before you do."

"Rob? This time I have a servant behind me, the fourth seat of the Executive Committee. He's not as weak as you, young master. You'd better think twice about your abilities."

"Alright, let's see who has the best skills then, but please keep my identity a secret."

Rosalyn suddenly gave a sly smile and said meaningfully, "Oh? Can I assume... that you have something on me?"

Wow~

Suddenly, blue vines rose from beneath her feet and bound Rosalyn's entire body, rendering her unable to move.

Lu Sheng's cold voice rang in her ears.

“Normally, I would never leave any leverage over others... Since you brought it up, I have no choice but to leave you here.”

"You brat! I was just joking! Let me go!"

Lu Sheng shook his head. "I don't believe it."

"You bastard! If I wanted to harm you, I would have revealed what you did in Inazuma long ago!"

"Hmm..." Lu Sheng pretended to be deep in thought. "Sigh~ Oh well, what can I do? You're my superior."

"Hey! I've got it!" Just as Rosalind breathed a sigh of relief, the other person suddenly had another idea, ran into the room and took out a pill.

"This is a lying pill. If you break your promise to someone after taking it, you will immediately feel an itching all over your body, as if a thousand ants are crawling on your body. Eventually, you will lose your mind and strip naked and run into the street dancing wildly. If you really do that, your life will end there!"

Rosalyn gritted her teeth, making grunting noises as she cursed.

Lu Sheng wasn't going to joke around with you; he simply pried open her mouth and forced her to eat.

"Lu Sheng! You bastard!!!"

"It's okay, the medicine only lasts a week. Just keep it a secret for a week, okay?"

In reality, there was no lying pill; it was just an ordinary herbal pill.

But it's more than enough to fool someone like Rosalyn, who's all looks and no brains.

After he released the Blue Silver Grass, Rosalyn revealed an expression of being defiled and uttered a harsh threat: "I will definitely avenge this!"

After saying that, she slammed the door and left angrily.

A short while later, Clorind returned.

She smelled the lingering perfume scent in the room and asked in confusion, "Master, has anyone else been here?"

"Oh, a client just came by, it's irrelevant."

"Is there a new commission?"

"No."

"I see. Can we continue the training of the Eighteen Styles then? After watching this duel, I deeply feel that I am still far from being a true strongman. Fortunately, the case has come to an end, and I have already asked for leave from the Shadow Chasing Court, so I have enough time for special training."

Riku nodded. “Very good. With this kind of awareness, how can you not improve? We’ve already learned Kato’s technique, right? Let’s start with playing the piano to improve finger dexterity.”

It just so happens that Lu Sheng's rented apartment has a piano. Fontainebleau is an art capital, and almost every household has some kind of musical instrument.

Claude was from the upper class, and playing the piano was an essential part of her upbringing.

She immediately sat down at the piano and began playing a fast-paced piece. While practicing, she asked, "Master, although asking this might seem a bit impatient, I still want to know what the third move is."

"This third move, ah, it's quite something. It's called the 'Six-Nine Move.' It allows you to stick to your opponent like a leech in a bizarre posture, instantly incapacitating them."
