Original God, Teyvat's own Great Love Immortal

It is better to be safe than sorry. You must not let any accident happen.

"Why? I've already confessed."

"You must have a more sinister purpose that you haven't explained clearly! I've seen through it! You are full of evil intentions, and now there's no one to record your confession. Who knows if you will suddenly change your confession tomorrow?"

Lu Sheng expressed his doubts. "You are the God of Water. If I confess my crime in front of you, do I need a confession? When the time comes, you can speak directly in court as a witness. Will the people of Fontaine not believe what you say? Or are you not so confident in your authority as the God of Water?"

Furninna's eyes narrowed.

Here we go again! This guy is hinting at something weird again! He must know some secrets!

Now we can't send him to court!

If he had accused himself of being a fake water god in front of all the people of Fontaine, the cardinal who ruled, and the chancellor, Villette...

No, no! We can't let that happen!

"Nonsense! I am the real Water God! How could I not have confidence in my authority... But... But before you tell me your true purpose, I cannot send you to court."

"Then if what I said is consistent with your expectations, what will you do?"

Lu Sheng stopped pretending completely.

If you tease Shafu any more, she might develop a mental illness.

Since there are only him and Funina here, he might as well make things clear.

She is just an ordinary girl, a poor person who has lost herself in her role

As for whether Funina wanted to kill herself, lock herself up, or deport herself in the end, it didn't matter.

He wanted to see how far Furninha would go to keep a secret.

Funina clenched her teeth, feeling extremely conflicted.

After a long while, her erratic eyes finally became firm again, and she said in a colder tone than ever before: "If your existence will affect the future of Fontaine, I, Funina! will get rid of you personally!"

Lu Sheng curled the corners of his mouth. This was the answer he wanted to hear most.

Funina is still the same Funina, the one who was willing to put her hand into the primordial fetal sea water and risk being dissolved in order to keep the secret.

Killing herself would mean that Funina would break the laws that Fontaine had always been proud of, and as a kind person at heart, she would not hesitate to get her hands stained with blood.

Under normal circumstances, she probably wouldn't even dare to kill a chicken, right?

For five hundred years, as a weak ordinary person, he has played the role of a god without revealing any flaws. Although he has Villette's support behind him, it is definitely not an easy task.

If there is persistence Gu in this world, the only person who can refine it is probably Funina.

Lu Sheng pushed open the iron door of the carriage, easily broke the iron chain wrapped around the outside, and walked out.

Furninna was so frightened that her face turned pale and she kept backing away.

She couldn't imagine that such a solid cage could be broken so easily. She completely underestimated the opponent's strength and put herself in a desperate crisis.

"You...why...don't come over here! I'm the God of Water!"

Her back hit the wall and she had nowhere to retreat.

"This is the bottom of the sea. You can't escape without my permission!"

Lu Sheng looked around. No wonder he felt so depressed since just now. It turned out that he had locked himself up in a secret facility on the seabed.

The steel cage and the underwater facilities, Funina had indeed considered everything fully.

She must have thought that everything was foolproof and never imagined that she could get out of the cage so easily.

Looking at Funina's panic-stricken appearance but trying to pretend to be calm, Lu Sheng wanted to laugh.

He said softly, "Funina, there are only two of us here, so you don't have to act anymore. You've worked hard for five hundred years. Take off the burden for a while and be yourself."

At this moment, the string that had been tight for five hundred years in Furninna finally broke.

She was stunned and couldn't utter a word.

Five hundred years... a full five hundred years! She dreamed of hearing these words.

She was expecting Fucaros to say it to her in person, Villette to say it to her in person, and the people of Fontaine to say it to her in person.

But she never thought that it would be said by an outsider who had no connection with her at such a time and in such a situation.

Just like the most aggrieved heart of a child being poked, Funina's emotions that had been pent up for five hundred years poured out.

Tears fell down her cheeks, and a trembling voice came from the depths of her throat: "Who...are you?"

Lu Sheng held out his hand to her, "I am the one who owes you an apology. Although the fault was not caused by me, I think it is not impossible for me to say sorry on behalf of that idiot."

"I don't understand what you are talking about..."

"You'd better not understand it in your whole life. You only need to understand one thing. I have no ill intentions. I am here to save Fontaine and save you. Please believe me, okay? I will prove it to you."

Fontaine: Chapter 141: From an Idol Girl to an Empress

Funina stared at Lu Sheng in a daze, her mind full of confusion.

The situation was frozen for a few minutes. Seeing that the other party had no intention of hurting her, Funina wiped away her tears and asked, "How do you want me to trust you?"

"Time will tell. If I was going to harm you, you would have died long ago. Why would I bother talking to you about this and that?"

Lu Sheng suddenly asked a question that surprised Funina: "How are you going to deal with the prophecy of Fontaine being flooded?"

"What? Me?"

There is indeed a prophecy circulating in Fontaine that when that day comes, the sea water will flood the entire country, leaving the water god alone crying on the throne.

"I do not know."

Furninha shook her head.

Byd is quite honest.

"What would you do if what I predicted was about to happen?"

Funina was visibly nervous, muttering, "Now...what...should I do? I...I...have to get everyone off the shore and to higher ground."

“How high is high?”

"How high... Let's go to the mountains! We won't be flooded if we go to the mountains!"

Lu Sheng frowned and almost laughed out of anger at her.

He began to understand why his math teacher had looked puzzled when he was marking his homework.

“What if the mountain is flooded, too?”

"Ah? The mountains are flooded... How high is the sea water?"

"Is it possible that, as the saying goes, a rising tide lifts all boats, so as long as you stay in the boat, you don't have to be afraid no matter how high the water rises?"

Funina suddenly had an idea. "That's right! I can build a big ship and transfer all the people of Fontaine to it!"

"Okay, this problem is solved. How are you going to face the doubts of the entire Fontaine? As the god of water, you are unable to prevent the disaster from happening. You allow the country to be destroyed, the lives of the people to be threatened, and the property of the people to be infringed. How are you going to deal with these criticisms against you?"

Furninna was very confused: "How could this happen? I saved them and I'm still being criticized? This is impossible... Shouldn't they love me even more?"

"Admiration? Ridiculous!"

Funina was indeed as innocent as a blank sheet of paper. In other words, she was extremely stupid.

"You've been busy being a big star for the past five hundred years, right? You haven't even learned the wisdom of a person in power."

Humans don’t thank Luo Ji, and the people of Fontaine will not thank Funina either.

Funina was scolded for no reason and retorted unconvincedly: "No matter what, I am still very popular in Fontaine. Every performance is always full. I don't believe that the people of Fontaine would treat me like that."

"You are totally wrong. What the people of Fontaine fear is the law supported by Villette. It has nothing to do with you. In the eyes of the people of Fontaine, you are just a good-looking mascot. You have the title of water god but not the authority of a water god. Once your identity is exposed, the surging public opinion will drown you like a flood and bite you all over. In an instant, you will go from being a beloved water god to an eternal sinner who has committed countless sins."

Lu Sheng had witnessed such a scenario once in the game.

"I ask you, besides performing, what else have you done to make the people of Fontaine love you? Whether it's policy or law, just name one."

Furninna was speechless.

"Let me ask you again, how many officials in Fontaine are completely loyal to you? How many soldiers are there? How many confidants have you personally promoted?"

Furninna still couldn't tell.

"Look, you haven't considered all this. If this isn't a mascot, then what is it? Once you lose the title of Water God, you will be completely alone. Who would be willing to become an enemy of the entire Fontaine for you?"

Lu Sheng's series of questions made Funina breathless. In her mind, she had already begun to imagine the scene of being scolded by the whole Fontaine.

"I know that the real Water God has given you a mission to act. I also know that you are just an ordinary person, living a life of treading on thin ice every day. You are afraid that your actions will be exposed, which will lead to all your plans going to waste."

"You think too much and hesitate to act, but you don't think about yourself."

"So what if you're just an ordinary person? Since you're in the position of the Water God, you should act like one. Didn't the person who asked you to play her find Villette to come to Fontaine to cover for you? As long as you can fool everyone, including Villette, then you'll be the real Water God."

"So what if you don't have strong power? The law, the army, Villette, they can all be used as objects. They are all your power. But you go and become a star."

Furninna squatted down with her head in her hands, shouting, "Stop talking, stop talking! I'm just a coward who has accomplished nothing, okay?"

Alas~ He became hysterical after just a few words. If I continue, I’m afraid he will cry.

Lu Sheng walked up to her and pulled her up. He looked her straight in the eyes and asked seriously, "You still have a chance to change. There are two paths for you to choose. Do you want to be a real water god and save Fontaine, or be an ordinary person?"

"If you choose the first path, I will stay and help you. Correspondingly, if you want to get something you have never had, you must do something you have never done before. This journey is destined to be full of unknown risks, but you can save Fontaine and save yourself at the same time."

"If you choose the latter, then it will be simple. I will take you away from Fontaine and live a normal life in a place where no one knows you. From now on, anything in Fontaine will have nothing to do with you."

Funina stared at Lu Sheng's face in a daze. This guy's identity, background and purpose were all so suspicious.

But...at this moment, she couldn't find any reason to refuse.

"I...I want to stay! I want to save this country!"

Lu Sheng felt relieved and said with a smile: "Okay! Now that you have made your choice, you must stick to it. You have persisted for five hundred years, so you won't miss the last bit of time."

"Then what should I do?" asked Furninna.

"It's very simple. First, do what a god should do, tear off the mascot label, and regain your prestige in the hearts of the people."

"That being said, I'm afraid it's not that easy, right?"

"You won't know if it works until you try it first. The more difficult the task, the greater the reward. First, you can solve the serial disappearance of young girls."

"The case of the serial disappearance of young girls? That case has been going on for more than 20 years, and the Enforcement Court and the Shadow Chasing Court have not been able to solve it until now. Can I really do it?"

It’s not that Funina lacks confidence, but this case is so incredible that even Villette has no solution.

"What are you afraid of? With me here, nothing is impossible. When you return, immediately reopen the Cares murder case and request a reinvestigation of the case."

"The Carres murder case..." Furninna recalled a little and had some impression, "Isn't he the former president of the Thorn Rose Society? He was tried for shooting his friend, but before the trial he gave up his defense and suddenly asked to use a duel to escape the trial, and eventually died in the duel."

"He had clearly lost the battle but still refused to lay down his weapon. This incident was talked about for a long time. It is indeed full of doubts. Could it be that this Carres is related to the girl's disappearance?"

Lu Sheng: "It is indeed related, but in order to train you, I cannot tell you the truth yet. You have to find evidence yourself."

Fininna curled her lips and thought to herself, "Is it my turn to be a detective this time? Great! I will definitely solve this unsolved case with my own strength!"

Seeing Furninna's expression as if she had eaten a fly, Lu Sheng gradually began to understand Zhongli, the old man.

It turns out that cultivation is so much fun, and cultivating beautiful girls is the best fun of all.

It’s so interesting to train a silly and cute idol girl into an empress!

Fontaine: Chapter 142: Judicial Duel

Early the next morning, at the Opéracle Opera House, also known as the Court of Fontaine.

Chief Justice Navilette arrived at the courtroom early in the morning to make today's ruling.

There haven't been many cases recently, and the Tribunal has been used as an opera house until a man from Winter who was causing trouble in Fontaine was caught not long ago.

Today was supposed to be the trial day for that case, but just now, Villette received bad news.

Last night, in the temporary prison in Fontaine, the prisoner named Sherlock was kidnapped by a mysterious man.

This was a very vicious prison break. Although there were no casualties, it put the strict laws of Fontaine under great pressure.

Almost all the troops of the Court of Justice and the Court of Shadows were dispatched to Fontaine to search for the whereabouts of the jailbreakers and the prisoners, but no news has been received so far.

Standing alone before the Cardinal of the Decree, Villette sighed softly.

If the news of the prison break had reached Mo Mang Palace earlier, he would not have come.
