"Ms. Funina, please go back first." Navilette said after concentrating himself, "I have some important things to do. I will return to Momang Palace later."

"...Okay, remember to be safe."

"Definitely." Furnina held her forehead and took a deep breath. After a moment, she looked up and said to Violet, "Vilet, I feel like we seem to have underestimated the magnitude of this incident."

Villette frowned slightly and couldn't help asking, "Ms. Fnina, do you mean... there are still variables?"

"I think so." Fenina sighed softly, calmed down and said to Villette, "Then, I will go back to Momang Palace with them first."

Funina turned to Ying and Paimeng and said with a smile: "Everyone who comes from afar is a guest. You are all my guests. I just issued an order to conduct a search today. As outsiders, you should not be able to rent a house at this time. How about staying in the guest room of our Momang Palace for a night?"

Fu Nina patted her chest and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will cover all your expenses in Fontaine City these days."

"As for the money, it will be withheld..." Fenina's gaze subconsciously turned to Villette.

Villette coughed lightly and said, "The money will be kept in Ms. Fu Nina's vault! In addition, Ms. Fu Nina, how many times do you need me to remind you? These private matters are not worth using the public treasury of the Mo Mang Palace."

"Okay, then you're right, Villette." Fenina sighed helplessly, looked up at the sky and regretted the small amounts of money that flew away because she pretended to be rich.

Navilette said calmly: "Using public funds for personal use is the most shameful behavior."

"Really? Thank you, Fonina." Ying put her hand on her chest and nodded happily.

This was five hundred years ago, and the coins from five hundred years later might not be spendable in this era. Fortunately, the appearance of Fenina solved this crisis and also solved the problems of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

"All, all included?" Paimon couldn't help wiping the saliva from the corner of his mouth. She heard everything that Fenina said just now.

Paimon quickly flew to Fenina's side and tried to curry favor with her, "Um, Miss Fenina... No, Master Fenina. You are a master who doesn't bear grudges. Can you include me in that?"

"Oh? I didn't expect Paimon to know how to flatter!" Fenina smiled helplessly, then reached out and touched Paimon's soft cheek, smiling, "In that case, the beautiful and kind-hearted Lady Fenina will forgive you!"

"Great, yeah!"

Paimon happily swung in the air.

Seeing this, Fenina smiled helplessly and then said, "Can you please bring back the Thousand Spirits Mousse from before?"

"I have something else to do, so I might be back a little late. But don't worry, I will greet my subordinates in advance!"

Ying and Paimon looked at each other, then asked, "Do you need my help?"

"No, it's a small matter. I can handle it by myself." Fenina chuckled and politely refused.

After all, it would be inconvenient for them to see what happened next.

"Also, Violet." After Ying and Paimon left first, Fenina turned around and looked at Violet without changing her expression and said, "I think the cause of the problem may be [under the sea], I'm going to go out and take a look in the next few days."

"Is the problem [on the seabed]?" Villette asked after thinking for a moment, "Ms. Furnina, what is your basis?"

"This is just a hypothesis. I'm not sure." Fenina frowned and said softly, "Maybe Melusine is just a trigger. Maybe it's a trap set by the Fatui to distract you and me. It's also possible that the truth behind Melusine's disappearance is a huge trap in itself."

"Although I try not to think about it, I am really worried." Fenina raised her head and looked into Villette's eyes, and said calmly, "Villette, I hope that one of us must stay in Fontaine for the next few days to be prepared."

"When you told me that the Fatui were involved in this disappearance, I felt a little uneasy."

"Perhaps all this was just to lure us out like today, or perhaps everything that happened today was just part of the Fatui's plan."

Villette's eyes changed slightly, and he roughly understood the seriousness of what Fonina said, and said seriously: "Ms. Fonina, you mean..."

After Fu Nina sighed lightly, she turned around and looked up at the sky and said calmly: "It seems that it is too late to attack head-on. I always thought that I had enough time to wait for that day to come, but I didn't expect that day to come so quickly."

Villette's pupils shrank slightly, as if she had guessed something vaguely.

That Villette looked at Fernina's petite and familiar back and couldn't help asking: "Could it be..."

"Yes, she is coming."

Fonina suddenly rolled up her sleeves to reveal her snow-white arms. Fonina raised her arms into the air, and after calming herself down, she looked at her arms.

Fnina narrowed her eyes slightly, and the divine heart in her heart seemed to be responding to her call.

"[Heart of God] doesn't seem to be the remedy for curing the curse of the abyss?"

Dark purple lines similar to those on Holmes' skin suddenly appeared on Fenina's snow-white arms. It seemed that they were not a curse, but her pulse.

And what was flowing in her veins was her blood, which had already turned purple.

"It doesn't seem right. The blood was red not long ago." Fenina didn't seem to be scared. Instead, she looked at her arm that was completely equivalent to a monster and muttered to herself, "Or, [it] was originally purple."

Navillatte, who was standing behind Fonina, saw it all clearly. Alarm bells rang in his heart. He ignored Fonina's attempts to stop him, stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, observing her carefully in disbelief.

Finnina's arms continued to spread downward from the fingertips, and her skin instantly turned black, just like the arms of a hillbilly.

The five fingers were slender and long, and they didn't look like human fingers at all, but rather like the claws of a monster.

The skin of the arm turned black in an instant, and some hard granulations appeared on its epidermis instantly.

Cold sweat broke out on Fonina's forehead and she squatted down in pain.

Navilet's pupils shrank slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to use his water elemental power to purify them, but Fenina raised her hand to stop him.

"It's useless. It's just a waste of time." Furnina frowned and said with concentration, "I want to see what it will make me become."

"You're crazy!" Villette looked at Fernina's calm expression. Even though he was calm, he couldn't help but scold her, "This is not a joke!"

"I know, so I want to test the depth." Fenina took a breath of cold air with difficulty, and then forced a smile towards Villette, "You should remember, right? I am the only clone who has Holmes's original memory, but the memory after that is..."

Fenina looked up at Villette's expression and couldn't help but chuckle and said, "I will have to take this step one day. I think you should feel for me...ah——"

The piercing pain in her arm made Fenina fall to her knees and scream. A trace of panic flashed in Villette's eyes, which was not often seen. He was anxious for a moment, and his eyes turned downward, calming his mind and looking at Fenina's arm.

Villette's pupils trembled, and he stared at Fenina's arm in disbelief.

"What's with that expression on your face? What's wrong with my arm?" As the pain gradually eased, Fernina came back to her senses, breathing heavily, and looked at her arm, her eyes visibly stunned.

Her dark arms...seemed to have grown dark scales.

After a long time, Fenina suddenly sneered.

"Sure enough, Holmes put the [Heart of God] into my body not to suppress it or heal my body..."

Fenina chuckled and said slowly, "It is a neutralizer that balances the power of the abyss and water elements!"
