Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Looking at the two people in front of him who were stunned, Chang Ming smiled slightly, and then took the lead to cross the broken stone door and walk deeper.

"Let's go, I have a feeling we'll see Erinus soon."

Chang Ming's voice awakened the two people who were immersed in shock, and they immediately followed after exchanging a brief glance.

Looking at the tall figure, Paimeng blinked slightly, then quickly moved closer and asked curiously:

"Um... Chang Ming? What's the situation with your power? Why is it purple one moment and black the next?"

"Don't you control the element of lightning? Why is your element of lightning mixed with the power of the abyss?"

Hearing this, Chang Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, then chuckled and explained:

"The color of the energy symbolizes the intensity of the energy. Purple-black has a lower intensity, and pure black has a higher intensity. That's all."

"When I helped Mamehe collect those minerals, I used a relatively low-intensity force, and to destroy those obstacles just now... I used pure black."

"Oh, is that so? I thought you were used to mixing the element of lightning and the power of the abyss together."

Paimeng nodded as if he understood, and then said nothing more.

In this silence, everyone came to the edge of a pond, and Paimeng looked up at Chang Ming, as if he was looking forward to his actions.

"This is indeed a dead end. We have to go down from this place... to reach a deeper cave."

Chang Ming pointed to the cave in front of him and said calmly.

"Eh? Is that so... No, that's not right! Chang Ming, how did you know that?"

"Have you forgotten the abyssal power that I integrated into the rock earlier?"

Chang Ming said this as he jumped in without hesitation, as if intending to use this method to get the two of them to catch up quickly.

"Ah! How could this guy just leave without saying anything?"

"Ahhh!! I'm so angry. I must give him an ugly nickname!"

Just when Paimeng was thinking about how to give Chang Ming a nickname, Ying jumped directly into the pool as if she had turned on the automatic follow function.

thump--

As the cold zero-point water splashed on Paimon's face, her originally slightly thoughtful angry expression instantly turned into surprise.

"Hey! Why are you like this?"

......

After crossing the waterway and walking a few steps forward, they arrived at their destination this time - the heart of Erinath.

Looking at the huge crystal that was shining with dark red luster, Paimon was dazed for a moment.

"Why... are they so similar to the ores from before? Could it be that they are also part of Erinus?"

As Paimeng spoke, he looked at Chang Ming, who was studying the broken magic circle under the huge crystal, as if expecting an answer from this regent who could be called a living fossil of Fontaine.

"In theory, this is correct. After all, we just traveled back and forth in its body. Everything here... including this huge crystal is part of it."

“Huh?! So… the origin of the Meluseens is actually Erinath!”

"But..."

Paimon scratched his head in confusion, as if the current situation was a little... hard to understand.

"Why did Erinus destroy most of Fontaine, but Melusin, who was born from his body, has been helping Fontaine without even thinking of destroying it?"

"This involves a conjecture between me and Villette."

As Chang Ming spoke, he clapped his hands gently and shifted his gaze to the withered and unrecognizable heart.

"According to records, Erinus' death came without any warning, but Fontaine was not able to deal with this guy in time, so the most likely cause of death is..."

""suicide""

"Of course, this is just speculation for us. We don't know what exactly happened."

"But the fact is, the Meluseens do have good intentions towards human society, and the influence of Erinus on them is also... positive."

Having said this, Chang Ming's voice suddenly stopped, as if he had been deliberately interrupted because of something that had happened.

Perhaps because he was close to Erinace, what Chang Ming heard this time was not intermittent, but...coherent.

"Construct a link with my spirit, and there... I will tell you the truth, and then seal me away completely. Please."

Hearing this, Chang Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, then looked at Ying who was having a headache and said softly:

"Did you just...hear anything?"

"..."

Ying shook her head in silence. To her, Erinas' voice was just meaningless gibberish. Apart from being mentally unbearable, it contained no information at all.

Seeing this, Chang Ming nodded as if he understood, then spread out his hands, and a pure black energy emerged from his hands.

The energies turned into threads that constantly intertwined and reorganized in the air, eventually forming a mysterious formation.

"Chang Ming...? What are you doing...?"

"Build a bridge to communicate with the spirit world of Erinus, so that we can know the truth of the past."

Chang Ming said this very calmly, as if he had anticipated the current situation.

He glanced at Ying beside him. Although according to his current ability... he could definitely pull Ying directly into that space, but...

"Please show some respect to the players and don't mess with me again."

Chang Ming complained helplessly, and then said to Ying:

"Empty your mind and focus on this magic circle. Let's go meet this "father" of Meilushin."

Hearing this, Paimon blinked first, then spit out:

"In the end, we still have to fight..."

However, Chang Ming did not elaborate on this. Instead, he directly activated the magic circle without giving Paimeng any time to react.

As the scene before their eyes gradually became distorted and unreal, a rose-red mist gradually covered their eyes.

But soon, the rose-red mist dissipated little by little, and was replaced by a... familiar yet unfamiliar place.

Apart from the pink color that looks like a filter, this place is simply a mountain on the island of Erinath.

Looking at everything in front of him, Ying was a little surprised for a moment, and just when he was about to ask something... a voice suddenly sounded in this space.

"Hello~ Ying, I'm sorry to meet you in this way."

"Can you please come upstairs? I still have a lot to say to you."

"And Mr. Regent, I will tell you everything as agreed, and I also hope that you can abide by the agreement between us."
