Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

"Eh?"

When Paimeng heard Chang Ming addressing Ying, his brain went into a state of shutdown and he was unable to react for a while.

Although she knew that Chang Ming was actually a sinister person, but...

But it’s not that straightforward, is it?!

Where has your manners as a regent gone? !

But then again...it seems like what Chang Ming said is indeed correct.

When they first arrived in Mondstadt, the Wind Dragon was attacking Mondstadt, and they happened to see Venti having her Heart of God taken away by the "Lady" on the spot.

When I first arrived in Liyue, I happened to see the emperor faking his death, and because of my identity as a foreigner and my mysterious actions, I was mistaken for an assassin...

Not to mention that later on, Tartaglia controlled the fake "Book of Unfettered Prohibitions" to release Osel.

As for Inazuma, she somehow got involved in the Eye Hunting Order and somehow became a member of the resistance army.

Xumi was even more like that. As soon as he entered the door, he was pulled into a dream and the cycle started. Later, he even fought a fake god.

As for Fontaine...she now felt that the moment they set foot on Fontaine's land, they had entered the dragnet set up by Chang Ming using his ability to "predict the future."

Thinking of this, Paimon's mouth twitched slightly. Although she wanted to say that all this was just a coincidence, but...

But who can last five times by chance? !

Thinking of this, Paimeng suddenly lowered his head, as if he had lost all the strength and means to resist.

If you can't argue with Chang Ming, destroy it.

Ying sighed helplessly, her big golden eyes full of innocence, and then she said softly:

"...Perhaps this is the fate of the Adventers?"

Chang Ming nodded without comment, and then continued to explain:

"The Adventers are independent of the continent of Teyvat. Their every move will have an impact on the destiny of this world. This is undeniable."

"If there really are ruins of Lemuria here... then we can just use this "characteristic" of the traveler to reveal the secret, right?"

Hearing this, Paimon, who was a little frustrated because he couldn't refute, scratched his head and said thoughtfully:

"It seems... that's really the case?"

"Right? So I said—"

Before Chang Ming could finish his words, a sharp pain suddenly swept through his nerves without warning, causing him to bend over involuntarily.

"What on earth is... happening...?"

The intense pain made it difficult for Chang Ming to open his mouth for a while. His career also gradually lost its luster at this moment, and finally... fell into darkness.

"Chang Ming?! Chang Ming, what's wrong with you?! Why did you just get here--"

Paimon's slightly panicked voice was the last thing Chang Ming heard. From then on... he knew nothing.

Looking at Chang Ming who had fainted, Paimeng was at a loss for a moment. She subconsciously looked at Ying beside her, as if wanting her to find a way to solve the problem.

Ying quickly drew out the edgeless sword, and her golden eyes looked around vigilantly, as if she was checking for any traps.

But think about it carefully...As powerful as Chang Ming is, what level of trap could have made him become like this?

Or...

How many secrets are hidden in this small fishing village not far from them?

However, the next second, when Ying's eyes fell on a headless stone statue not far from her, a strange melody sounded in her ears.

This melody had a bewitching power that made her head increasingly dizzy, as if she was about to faint in the next second.

"No... definitely not at this time..."

Ying tried hard not to listen to the drowsy orchestral music, but the sound seemed to ring directly in her heart and there was no way to stop it.

"Ying?! What's wrong with you?! Don't scare me!!"

"You two fainted, what should I do?!"

Seeing Ying also kneeling on the ground, Paimon's original fear instantly turned into panic, and his voice was so anxious that it sounded like he was about to cry.

Although Ying really wanted to comfort her guide, but... she really couldn't do it.

Under the catalysis of the strange orchestral music, her limbs gradually became weak, her mind began to become dizzy, and the sound of vicissitudes and ancient sighs reached her ears.

"How unforgettable, the Garden of Euan with its flowers and fruits, the great and glorious Chesallum, the House of Harmony with its beautiful melodies"

"But... fate, why can't it stop here..."

And these ancient sighs became the last sounds she heard before her consciousness collapsed.

......

When Chang Ming opened his eyes again, the scene around him was no longer the green grassland he was familiar with, but a space of black and white.

"What's going on again..."

Chang Ming climbed up from the ground with some difficulty, and the black ground was rippling like the surface of water.

He looked around in confusion, but... found nothing.

"Could it be that the historical echoes of Lemuria and my trials did not take place in the same space?"

Chang Ming guessed with some uncertainty.

"You are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

A slightly resentful voice interrupted his thoughts, and a cute little white cat stood in front of him at some point.

"You are...Cassiodoro?"

Looking at the little white cat that suddenly appeared in front of him, Chang Ming was a little stunned for a moment.

He really didn't expect that even though he had become an Adventer, he could still be influenced by him, the first generation Shadow Hunter.

As if he could see what Chang Ming was thinking, Cassiodoro said unhappily:

"It's not me who is influencing you, but Boethius, the fragment of the great movement "Phobos" that was able to influence your consciousness before, who is influencing you."

"When you step into this place, Phobos, which has been silent for a long time, suddenly becomes restless and makes a sound directed only at you."

"Fortunately, I reacted quickly and cut off that force, otherwise... you wouldn't just faint now."

As Cassiodoro spoke, he licked his paws, looking like a proud little white cat.

"...So, what is the situation now? I came here to take back my power, not here..."

Chang Ming drew several circles in the air with his hands, as if he suddenly didn't know what words to use to describe the current situation.

Cassiodoro nodded slightly, as if he understood what he wanted to say again.

"Let's get back to the topic. While you are regaining consciousness, I will tell you how to remove the seal in your body."
