Genshin Impact: Return of the Water Queen

"She, ah..."

Speaking of Fucaros, Luo Chaya's mood suddenly dropped. She sighed helplessly, her brows full of pity for Fucaros.

The guilt of those five hundred years came flooding back like a tide.

"It's not inappropriate to say that she's cute, but compared to being cute, she's more pitiful and lovable." Luo Chaya was silent for a while before she spoke to Zhongli slowly. Guoba in her arms also calmed down after sensing Luo Chaya's emotional changes and turned around to look at her.

Zhongli noticed Luo Chaya's mood change. He fell silent, staring at the tea in front of him, and then said to Luo Chaya: "I know she inherited the so-called "original sin" from you, but I don't think it's the fault of either you or her."

"It's not just that..." Luo Chaya shook her head, she looked at Zhongli, and stopped talking. She had originally intended to tell Zhongli about Fukaros's five hundred year plan, but when the words came to her lips, she remembered the most important part of the plan, hiding it from "heavenly principles", so she stopped herself from saying anything.

It seems that she needs to be more cautious and not let Fucaros' plan be discovered by "God's Law" because of her mistake.

After seeing Luo Chaya's reaction, Zhongli understood why she suddenly kept silent almost instantly. He nodded and said, "Luo Chaya, don't be too sad. Although the five hundred years of suffering were cruel, you have returned. As the heart of the original fetal sea, you will bring new hope to Fontaine, right? I believe that you will be able to save everyone, whether it is Fontaine or Fukaros."

"Thank you for your good wishes, Zhongli." Luo Chaya smiled, but a hint of sadness could still be seen in her smile.

Guoba stretched out his hands and pressed Luo Chaya's cheeks, comforting her in his own way.

"Thank you, Guoba." Luo Chaya knew Guoba's intention and rubbed its head with a smile. She originally thought that Guoba's hand felt similar to a doll, but when she rubbed it, she realized that although it felt good, Guoba was alive, so the hand feeling was naturally different from that of a doll.

It's a bit like kneading a big dog.

Xiangling came out of the kitchen with boiled fish. When she saw Guoba still in Luochaya's arms, she was shocked and hurried over. After she put the boiled fish down, she said to Guoba, "Guoba, how can you be in the guest's arms! This is so rude!"

"It's okay, I was the one who picked up the Guoba." Luo Chaya smiled without showing any sign of anger. She was the one who quietly picked up the Guoba, so naturally she was not angry.

Xiangling tapped Guoba's head gently and said, "Guoba, bad!"

Then she said to Zhongli and Luochaya, "The other dishes will have to wait a while. If the guests are hungry, they can try the boiled fish first."

"Okay, thank you for your help." Luo Chaya nodded slightly.

Luo Chaya didn't keep the Guoba in the end, and Xiangling took it to the kitchen. Without Guoba, Luo Chaya could taste the cooking skills of the chef of Wanmintang. She picked up a piece of fish and put it in her mouth. The spicy feeling quickly filled her mouth. The taste of Jueyun pepper and the freshness of the fish complemented each other, giving Luo Chaya an extremely amazing taste experience.

"As expected of Xiangling, her craftsmanship is so great! After the matter in Fontaine is over, trick her into going to Fontaine!" Luo Chaya praised Xiangling's craftsmanship highly.

Zhongli, who just heard what she said, reminded her, "Cheating is something that goes against fairness and justice. Would you do that?"

"Uh... a metaphor, just a metaphor." Luo Chaya smiled awkwardly. She would not really lie to or attack a girl in her teens or twenties. As an old comrade, she would definitely explain the beauty of Fontaine to the girl in a logical and emotional way, and let the girl experience the society of Fontaine.

Zhongli picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of fish. After tasting it, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Not bad, I have heard of Xiangling's cooking skills for a long time, but I have been busy with other things before and have never tasted it myself. Today, thanks to you, I have waited for a table of delicious food."

"Thanks to me?" Luo Chaya couldn't help but frowned after hearing this. She looked at Zhongli and asked suspiciously: "Are you going to let me pay? I don't have Mora on me!"

"Of course not. Since I am hosting a welcoming party for you, how can I let you spend money?" Zhongli smiled and shook his head, "The money for this meal will be charged to the account of Wangsheng Hall, so you don't have to worry."

"Uh……"

Luo Chaya looked at Zhongli and suddenly had the idea of ​​mourning for Hu Tao. This guest official of her family was good in every way except that he had no idea about Mora. In other words, Zhongli actually didn't think there was anything wrong with not bringing money, nor did he think there was anything wrong with his accounting.

Well, the God of Wind is having a seizure and the God of Mora is without Mora, both are reasonable.

During the meal, Zhongli suddenly mentioned something, "There is a pure water spirit from Fengdan in Qingce Manor. She is your follower. Do you know about it?"

"A pure water elf from Fontaine? Lodia?" Luo Chaya was slightly stunned, and soon knew who Zhongli was talking about. Thinking back to when she was playing the game, it was so difficult to fight this pure water elf without Ganyu. She didn't expect that the world has changed and Lodia has become her follower.

"Yes, her name is Lotia." Zhongli nodded and continued, "When she came to Liyue from Fontaine, it was the time when the power of the Fontaine Water God was changing hands, and it was not long after the Kanreya disaster. I was worried that there was some hidden reason for her sudden visit to Liyue, so I communicated with her."

At this point, Zhongli paused, pondered for a moment, and then continued to say to Luo Chaya: "She told me that after you died, the water quality of Fontaine changed. The new water god was unable to maintain the environment of Fontaine, so the pure water elves could no longer live in the water of Fontaine, so most of them fled Fontaine. These pure water elves have deep resentment towards the new water god Fukaros. Therefore, I sent a letter to Fukaros, stating that if Fontaine needs help, Liyue can help a little, and I will also help. Unfortunately, Fukaros did not reply, and then she cut off contact with the other seven gods."

Zhongli was talking about what happened during the period when Egolia had just passed away. Neither Luo Chaya nor Egolia today had any memory of this period of time.

At that time, the remaining consciousness of Egolia was lodged in the "Ten Thousand Mother Trees" and she had not yet regained any consciousness.
