Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Looking at the light spots that were about to dissipate in front of him, Chang Ming's mouth curled up slightly, and then he began to stroll leisurely in the theater as if he had returned home.

"I've said before that the power of the abyss is not something that the creatures of this world can easily resist, Boethius, and you are no exception."

"You are right, you are a soul body, and I don't have the means to attack the soul directly, but... "pollution" is still possible."

"The power of the abyss will be firmly locked in your body like a maggot in the future. I hope you can solve this problem before we find Phobos's body, otherwise..."

"By then, both Phobos and you, Boethius...will become puppets controlled by the abyss."

"Of course, the only master of these puppets is not the abyss, but me."

The iconic smile on Chang Ming's face gradually turned into a sneer, and the threat in his words was fully exposed at this moment.

Anyone who can sit firmly in the position of regent for hundreds of years...definitely cannot be a good person. On the contrary, people like Chang Ming are often the most resourceful ones.

And this point is vividly reflected at this moment.

"You...%^$@#...#￥%@!"

Perhaps because he was about to collapse, Boethius couldn't even utter a complete sentence at this moment.

Listening to those meaningless and muddy notes, Cassiodoro sighed helplessly.

"Boethius, you were not like this before."

“When did it all start?”

Along with Cassiodore's sigh, the light spots that made up Boethius' body slowly dissipated at this moment, and everything in the theater returned to calm again.

After a brief silence, Cassiodore raised his head slightly and looked at Chang Ming beside him. His eyes, which belonged to a cat, seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

Even though he had lived in this world for thousands of years, he could not see clearly the man in front of him.

What kind of power does he possess?

But if you insist, this matter is actually not important. After all, he is on the same side as me now, and they are completely consistent in terms of interests.

He needs to destroy Phobos. That is a commission from the Supreme and his mission.

And this man needs to borrow the energy flow that erupted at the moment when Phobos was destroyed to help him tear open the seal...

Thinking of this, Cassiodoro nodded slightly, as if he had put aside his doubts, and said as if complaining:

"...I never thought there would be this solution."

"Isn't that because you don't know me well enough?"

Chang Ming looked at Cassiodore meaningfully, and just when he was about to say something, Paimon suddenly spoke.

"Hey...you two, now is not the time to discuss whether we understand or not, right? Next, where should we go to find this rude guy? That's the point, right?!"

Paimon crossed his arms across his chest, as if he was somewhat dissatisfied with Chang Ming and Cassiodore's strange attitude.

These two guys are usually so serious, why are they talking about weird things now?

"Hmm? That's not a problem. I can retrieve the corresponding power of the abyss, and Cassiodorus is familiar with the situation here. It's actually very easy to find Boethius."

Chang Ming spread his hands, as if he didn't think this was a problem.

"Yes, according to the scene I just saw... we should continue to explore downwards and head towards the real "Golden Palace". "

"Phobos is there, and then... everything will become simple."

Cassiodoro licked his paws gracefully, adopting the same attitude as Chang Ming.

"...Well, since both of you said so, there must be nothing wrong."

Paimeng shook his head, then looked at Ying and said:

"Ying, what do you think?"

Ying shook her head slightly, glanced at Cassiodoro and asked softly:

"Cassiodo, I want to know...why did Boethius call you a "traitor"? "

"He first called you a close friend, then called you a 'betrayer'. What's the story behind this?"

"And Chang Ming, what are the "Dragon Prince" Scylla and the "Golden Bee" Sibyl? Are these stories from Lemuria?"

Hearing this, Chang Ming and Cassiodoro looked at each other at the same time, as if trying to reach some kind of consensus with their eyes.

Finally, Cassiodoro sighed helplessly and began to tell about everything he had experienced.

While telling the story, Chang Ming would occasionally interject and add some "secrets" that he knew as a regent.

......

knock knock --

Hearing the gentle knock on the door, a thoughtful look flashed across Funina's eyes, and she did not open the door immediately.

With Chang Ming's personality, he would never forget to bring his keys, but...

What if?

Chang Ming was going to an extremely dangerous place, and even he himself was not sure he could protect himself. What if he got injured?

Or maybe...he just wanted to give himself a surprise?

Thinking of this, Funina bit her lip and muttered in an unnatural voice:

"What's the relationship? Why do you still want to do this..."

But even though she said that, she still ran to the door quickly and opened it violently.

"Chang Ming! Come back——"

When Finina saw the visitor at the door clearly, the smile that originally contained happiness and shyness froze on her face in an instant, and was replaced by an extremely decent smile.

"...Miss Columbia, you came to see me...is there something you need?"

Columbia nodded slightly, but then shook her head, then leaned forward slightly, with her delicate little face only about five centimeters away from Funina.

The tip of her delicate nose twitched slightly, and a smile that was difficult to describe flashed across her face.

"Hmm~ It seems that Miss Funina and Mr. Chang Ming have a good relationship... This makes me feel relieved~"

Hearing this, Funina blinked slightly, a little surprised for a moment.

"I... don't quite understand what you mean."

"It's nothing, Ms. Funina, just think of it as my soliloquy~"

Columbia said this quite cheerfully, then tilted her head and fixed her gaze on the room full of life, with a wider smile on her face.

But Funina could see that there was a hint of loneliness in that smile.

"That's great... Special fairies are not bound by the "curse"..."

She shook her head slightly, and then like a magic trick, she handed a cake to Funina and said softly:

"This is a cake I made myself. Although my skills may not be as good as Mr. Chang Ming, a very famous pastry chef, but... I think it's still delicious."

"Just think of it as... a souvenir for my friend when I come to Fontaine~"

"Huh? Ah...Okay, thank you Miss Columbia."

Fernina accepted Columbia's cake without thinking, and the sudden visitor left humming a cheerful note after seeing Fernina accept the cake.

"?"

Looking at the pretty figure gradually moving away, Funina was a little confused for a moment.

"Are all fairies so eccentric?"

She couldn't help but whisper.

Except for Columbia herself, no one knows what this gift means, and no one knows why the "girl" is so happy today.

Because...she saw the future of the fairy race.

It is a future full of light, hope, and the breath of life.

"As long as he's here, nothing will be a problem~"
