Genshin Impact: I wrote the plot into a novel to spoil the future

Even though she was terrified of Arecino, she pretended to be terrified.

Arecino turned her gaze to Frynn, and little Frynn was still a little nervous under Arecino's watchful eye.

Is this the eye that has been cutting down trees from winter to Fontainebleau without ever blinking? It's truly terrifying!

"Ms. Furina, shouldn't this meeting be a diplomatic meeting between Zhidong and Fontaine?"

The implication is that they are wondering why Lin Qiu, a Liyue native, would be here.

“How can there only be two guests at my dessert table? That’s not befitting my status,” Funina argued illogically.

"Is that so?" Arecino remained noncommittal and didn't dwell on it, since she also wanted to befriend Lin Qiu.

"In that case, can I assume that if the following conversation is overheard by Liyue, Ms. Frynn will take responsibility?"

“Of course!” Funina nodded; she trusted Lin Qiu.

Arecino didn't care, since she hadn't intended to discuss any confidential topics anyway.

He simply wanted to make contact with the Water God and see what kind of being he was.

It's a bit strange. This Funina in front of me does have the aura of a demon god, but she seems to be quite different from Her Majesty the Queen.

Arecino wasn't sure; perhaps she needed to try it out herself.

As long as the other party makes a move, or she makes contact with the other party, she can draw an accurate conclusion.

"This diplomatic mission is primarily for the sake of friendship between the two countries. Recently, there have been rumors circulating that we, the Fools, are trying to seize the Heart of God."

At this point, Arecino glanced at Lin Qiu and said, "If it weren't for you, how could such rumors have arisen?"

"We hope that Ms. Funina will not have any unnecessary misunderstandings about us because of this; the rumors are all false."

Funina's animalistic intuition told her that the servant seemed to have ill intentions towards her.

The hair on my head stood up, as if it had received a signal.

"Really? I understand." Funina sat a little closer to Lin Qiu.

"Hmph, I am the Demon God Fucarus. Even if you want to take it, you are not qualified."

Furina emphasized her identity as a 'demon god' in an attempt to intimidate Arecino.

Unfortunately, this intimidation had no effect on Arecino; none of the Fools' Enforcers outside were afraid of the Demon God.

Even if they are no match for the Demon God's executor, they are not afraid.

Arecino smiled, but did not refute Funina's point.

"I'm glad Ms. Funina understands."

"Then, may I ask?"

"Why—are you afraid of me?"

Funina's subconscious move to Lin Qiu caught Arecino's attention.

Her children also instinctively gravitate towards people who provide them with a sense of security when they are afraid.

“Fear?! What a joke! I am the Demon God Fukaros, how could I possibly fear a mortal like you?” Funina explained.

"Oh?" Arecino picked up her teacup.

As Arecino picked up the black tea, the surrounding fire elements began to stir.

After switching to the fire element, Lin Qiu became very affinity-to-fire and quickly sensed the change.

Arecino slowly brought the teacup to her lips, and as the height of the teacup increased, the fire element became more active.

It wasn't until Arecino took a sip of black tea that the restless fire element calmed down.

"I understand, I misunderstood you, Ms. Funina."

From the moment she started, her manipulation of fire elements became increasingly obvious, but Funina showed no reaction whatsoever.

Perhaps this water god is truly confident? Unconcerned that he might suddenly make a move?

So her behavior wasn't out of fear, but simply because the two of them had a good relationship?

In any case, Arecino couldn't possibly make a move here, so the doubts had to be put aside for the time being.

The three of them were drinking tea and chatting, while things were in an uproar in Liyue.

Qiu Cheng's new book has been released, and Li Yue is the protagonist of the story.

Chapter 74 The Rock King Emperor is dead~

Chapter One: Act One: A Fleeting Life Amidst a Thousand Rocks.

The story begins with a paragraph.

[In full view of everyone, the God of the Contract was murdered]

This passage alone has led many Liyue residents to question the authenticity of the prophecy.

The Rock King Emperor was murdered? How could that be!

This is the Emperor! Who in the whole world could assassinate him?!

Ordinary people were indignant and unwilling to continue reading.

However, the higher-ups of Liyue took it seriously. Could something really have happened to the Emperor?

"I...I must go and inform the immortals!" Gan Yu rarely put down the documents in his hand.

"The Emperor actually..." Ke Qing was filled with disbelief.

Although she always says that she can't always listen to the Emperor, in reality, she sees him as an omnipotent being.

"How can this be! No, I have to find Ningguang!" Keqing knew there was no time to lose!

As for the immortals, there was no need for Gan Yu to inform them; the woman was already reading.

"In full view of everyone? Is this some kind of 'invitation ceremony'?" One of the large birds was a little angry.

Looking down, they saw the Emperor's immortal body, half-scaled and half-dragon, falling from the sky.

[“The Emperor has been assassinated! Seal off the entire area!”]

As expected, the Emperor was assassinated during the "Ceremony of Inviting Immortals".

"How could the Emperor suffer such a misfortune during the 'Invitation to Immortality Ceremony'! No, I must go to Liyue Harbor!" The giant bird flapped its wings and rushed towards Liyue Harbor.

Shen He watched the departing bird with a calm expression, thinking to himself: It's rare to see Master still going out.

Then, she discovered that Zhenjun had not taken the book with him when he left.

"Qiu Cheng? The author of that book last time, it seems, is also this person." Shen He picked up the book and started reading.

She was very interested in the author because she had also read 'If You Are Trapped in a Windless Place'.

At this moment, Ningguang had begun to ponder deeply.

Her hands unconsciously crumpled the paper into a ball; it was the Liyue development plan she had just written down.

[In full view of everyone, the God of the Contract was murdered]

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, even without looking down, Ningguang could guess that it was undoubtedly the "Invitation to Immortals Ceremony".

If the Emperor is indeed murdered during the "Invitation to Immortals Ceremony," should the ceremony be suspended?

But this annual "Ceremony of Inviting Immortals" has never been interrupted. Is it possible that an exception will be made in the hands of the Seven Stars of her generation?

"What kind of being could murder the Emperor...? Would stopping the 'Invitation to Immortality Ceremony' even be of any use if such a being were to commit murder?"

Since becoming "Tianquan Star", Ningguang has never had such a worry.

Just as she was worrying, two large birds and a male deer flew in through the window. Xiao was also there, but he kept a low profile and stood on the roof without showing himself.

"You should know about the Seven Stars of Liyue and the matter concerning the Emperor, right?" Lord Lishui Dieshan (the bird) spoke first.

With a bang, Ke Qing pushed the door open and entered; she had already overheard the conversation outside.

"Fellow immortals, I, Keqing, on behalf of the Seven Stars, assure you that no one within the Seven Stars would ever attempt to harm the Emperor."

Ke Qing's gaze was firm; if anyone among the "Seven Stars" wanted to harm the Emperor, she would be the first to not let them go.

Ningguang knew that the immortals had come to interrogate her. They probably suspected that the "Seven Stars" had tampered with the "Invitation to Immortals Ceremony" and wanted to seize power.

“Yuheng is right, the Seven Stars would never harm the Emperor,” Ningguang agreed.

The immortals nodded; they didn't believe that the "Seven Stars" alone could harm the Emperor.

The main purpose of this visit is actually to study countermeasures.

Having learned of the Emperor's murder, we can't just do nothing, can we?

"On the day of the Immortal Invitation Ceremony, Li Shui, Jin Peng, and I will be on-site to guard the scene, and there must be no mistakes!" said True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang (Lu).

"You Seven Stars must also do your best to arrange guard duties."

Xiaoyue didn't really trust the "Seven Stars'" strength, and asked them to arrange guards so that they could monitor the "Seven Stars'" movements.

“That’s how it should be.” Ningguang nodded, as she herself was also worried about not having enough manpower.

"Wait, what about me?" Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun discovered the key point.

You've included Li Shui and Jin Peng, and you're almost including A Ping too, but why didn't you mention my name? What about me?

"Ahem, if you're going to leave Liu Yun, why don't you go and prepare the immortal artifacts first?" Xiao Yue said somewhat perfunctorily.

The main problem is that True Lord Liuyun is a bit impatient, and if something really happens, she will be the one who is least able to stay calm.

Rather than having her there, it would be better to have her prepare the celestial artifacts beforehand, since someone capable of plotting against the Emperor is no ordinary person.

"Hmph." Liu Yun sneered. Although he didn't make her unhappy on the spot, he would let it go this time because you all know so much about my magic artifacts.

Xiao, who had been standing silently on the rooftop, suddenly appeared in front of Ningguang.

"If you find anything, call me by my name—Xiao."

After saying that, he disappeared again, this time heading straight back to Wangshu Inn.

“What Jinpeng said is also what we wanted to say. If you find anything, just call us over,” Xiaoyue added.

Ningguang nodded and said, "If there is any discovery, I will inform all the immortals first."

After the immortals left, Ningguang suddenly spoke up, "Any clues?"

Ye Lan came out and calmly found a seat to sit down.

Unfortunately, there are no leads.

"No one in Liyue has emerged who can rival the Emperor."

"None of the seals were loose or leaky."

"However, we discovered that the Fools seem to be researching something, and it will take some time to infiltrate them."

After listening to Ye Lan's report, Ning Guang analyzed the current situation.

While the Fools may be somewhat suspicious, it is undoubtedly a pipe dream for the Eleventh and Eighth Executive Officers alone to plot against the Emperor.

The extraterrestrial beings in the book themselves were unaware of what had happened, and were clearly not the murderers.

She knew about the Seven Stars incident, and the attitudes of the immortals didn't seem like an act. So who exactly was the murderer?!

"Sigh." Ningguang sighed deeply. How long had it been since she had encountered such a troublesome situation?

“I will organize the Thousand Rock Army for defense in advance,” Ke Qing said.

"Yes, thank you for your trouble, Keqing." Ningguang smiled slightly.

Although it was a difficult situation, as the "Tianquan" leader, she couldn't show weakness.

We've done everything we can. Now it seems that on the day of the ritual to invite the immortals, we can only do our best and leave the rest to fate.

Keqing rarely sees Ningguang sigh, but it must be said that anyone would feel the same way in this situation.

How could that emperor have met with such misfortune during their generation of the "Seven Stars"? Who was the murderer?

At this moment, Zhong Li was listening to a storytelling performance on the show "Three Bowls and You Can't Cross the Harbour," where Tian Tiezui was speaking with righteous indignation.

The story being told is from the first act of the newly released Liyue arc, and it's about the death of the Emperor! Tian Tiezui is about to cry.
