Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Looking at the unfathomable cave in front of him, Paimeng blinked slightly, and then looked at Chang Ming with some surprise.

"Chang, Chang Ming, how on earth do you know that this thing can be triggered by immortal power?"

"Hmm? Because the shrines require immortal power to activate, is there anything hard to understand?"

Chang Ming's expression was very calm when he said this, as if he was saying - "This is common sense, Paimon, don't you know it?"

Hearing Chang Ming's words, Paimon scratched his face gently, then looked down at the bottomless cave.

"Eh? That's... Immortal Fujin?"

Paimon pointed at the golden light at the bottom of the cave and spoke as if in amazement.

"Fujin...?"

Xiao Mao looked at the people standing nearby with some confusion, as if he didn't understand what the name meant.

"Hmm... Immortal Fujin is actually the same friend who told Xiaomao that the nature of Chenyu Valley needed to be restored. He is the one who guides us, right?"

Funina's tone was quite gentle, just like when Chang Ming comforted a child before.

“Ah…I see…”

Xiao Mao nodded slightly, and then asked a question that made everyone present feel a little embarrassed.

"So...how do we get down?"

Looking at the deep pit in front of them, everyone fell into a brief contemplation.

It’s not that they can’t go down, but...what should Xiaomao do?

Ying and Funina have wind wings, Chang Ming is the God's Eye of the Lightning Element, and his speed is unimaginable, and Paimon can fly by himself...

What to do with this little guy?

Everyone's eyes unconsciously focused on Xiaomao, and Chang Ming stroked his chin and thought for a while, then gently grabbed Xiaomao's collar.

"Xiao Mao, close your eyes. If you feel a sudden downward urge, remember to hold onto your brother's arm. Do you understand?"

"Yeah! I understand!"

Xiao Mao nodded quickly. Based on the previous conversation in the cave, Xiao Mao's definition of Chang Ming was: an omnipotent demigod.

The reason why he is a half-immortal...is because he thinks Chang Ming is an immortal, but he himself does not think so.

In order to respect himself and Chang Ming's ideas, he has the status of "half-immortal".

Following Chang Banxian's instructions, Xiao Mao simply hugged Chang Ming's arm, and he jumped down without any hesitation.

"Chang Ming! Be careful——"

bang——

Before Paimeng finished his words, a sound neither light nor heavy reached everyone's ears. Not long after, Chang Ming's slightly lazy voice also came from below.

"oi! Come down, there are no monsters down there, we'll land safely!"

Hearing this, Ying and Paimon simultaneously turned their gazes to Furninna, as if asking, "When did Chang Ming become like this?"

And Finina shrugged slightly, then jumped down with a light leap.

Seeing this, Ying and Paimon blinked slightly, sighed helplessly, and jumped down as well.

......

After entering the cave, everyone followed the golden koi for a long time and finally came to a wider cave.

——No, this can no longer be described as a "cave".

This is simply an underground world!

"Ah... How come there is such a big cave under the Sunken Jade Valley? I thought this kind of thing could only be found in the Fontaine Sea and the Xumi Rain Forest..."

Paimon said with some sigh.

Just as Paimeng was sighing, Chang Ming and Ying had already walked across the stone bridge and arrived in front of the broken treasure ring that was suspected to be the same model as the one above their heads.

"Hey! Why are you guys leaving without saying anything again? Wait for me!"

Perhaps because she was flying, Paimon caught up quickly, and when she arrived in front of the treasure ring... the golden koi that was guiding them on the way took on the appearance of the Immortal Fujin.

"You four, we meet again..."

As Fu Jin spoke, he turned his gaze to Xiao Mao who was standing beside him, and then said softly:

"It seems there is a new friend here..."

"This is Xiao Mao. If it weren't for him, we might not have found this place so easily!"

Paimeng was very happy to introduce their new friend to Fu Jin, and she nodded with a smile and said in a very gentle manner:

"Hello Xiaomao, thank you for being willing to help them, you are such a good kid~"

Hearing this, Xiao Mao did not giggle like other children, but said happily:

"You really are the legendary Fujin! Wooah... I'm so happy! I've heard so many stories about you!"

"Besides...when I really meet you, you're not some slippery big carp, but a big sister!"

When Fu Jin heard the three words "big carp", his expression changed obviously, as if he was thinking of something in the past.

Paimon did not notice this, but complained in a strange way:

"Big, big carp...?! What kind of stories has Xiao Mao heard?!"

"...Ahem, I am also an immortal after all, so of course I can change freely. I chose to be like this now... because I am close to you humans..."

Fu Jin's tone suddenly became a little strange, as if he didn't want to continue talking about this topic, so he turned to Xiao Mao and asked:

"But... after listening to what you said, Xiao Mao, the aura on you is very unique. Have you ever encountered anything in the mountains? Was it a person with white skin and red eyes?"

Hearing this, Xiao Mao immediately shook his head and continued:

"No, Sister Fu Jin, you are talking about your other friend, right? My friend in the mountains is not as sparkling as Sister Fu Jin, but he is very good!"

“It helped me a lot and taught me a lot of things...”

"It turned out to be her..."

After listening to Xiao Mao's description, Fu Jin had some understanding in his mind, but when he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Chang Ming.

"Fairy Fu Jin, now that we have found Bao Jue, what should we do next?"

A barely perceptible smile flashed across Chang Ming's sea-blue eyes.

——At this moment, he has already figured out how to speed up the progress of all this.

Hearing this, Fu Jin was stunned for a moment, and after a moment of silence, he said:

"I would like to ask you to take this 'Silong' away. I originally hoped that it could remain here in its original state, but I didn't expect it to change so much..."

"Eh? The 'four dragons' that Immortal Fujin mentioned...are they dragons?"

"Of course not. After the great changes in the world, we... I mean, the ancestors of Chenyu Valley lost the ability to communicate with the heavens, and also lost the guidance of the beautiful messenger like the moonlight."

“So, they threw jade stones that were as warm as moonlight into the river, praying for good omens, restoring the water and soil, and praying for good weather and strong river banks.”

"As time went on, the ritual grew stronger and stronger, until..."

"Until the war that destroyed everything began, and the ritual was no longer meaningful."

Having said this, Fu Jin seemed to sigh a little, then shook his head gently and said softly:

"After all, this one next to us is the last precious jade Silong that was cast that year."

"Just as its part above the water can grow huge under the command of immortal arts and stop the flood, its core also grows larger due to the uncontrolled immortal power."

"This situation caused a lot of its power to escape to the surroundings along with the spirit veins."

"Also, the dissipated immortal energy might also--"

Before Fu Jin finished speaking, Chang Ming shook his head gently and said:

"In other words, we only need to collect the power that escapes from this gem and we can take it away, right?"

"Um... that's right."

"That'll be easy."

Chang Ming moved his shoulders slightly, and a purple-black light flashed in his sea-blue eyes.

"Just leave it to me. It won't take more than three minutes."
