Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Just as the God of Wind and the God of Rock were galloping towards the deep waters of Fontaine, Chang Ming's consciousness slowly recovered from the chaos.

“Hiss…it hurts…”

He now felt that every part of his body was wailing, as if... he had been beaten up in his sleep.

But before he could think about where the pain came from, the discomfort receded quickly like the tide.

Hua Hua Hua——

Listening to the unique sound of flowing water from Lujingquan, Chang Ming blinked. He always felt that something was missing.

What is he doing here at Lujingquan today?

"Chang Ming? Why are you standing by the Lu Jing Spring in a daze again? Are you...nervous?"

A slightly playful female voice interrupted his thoughts.

Chang Ming turned around suddenly and saw the girl with the sweet smile standing behind him, looking at him with a smile.

"Hmm? You finally came to your senses? You feel nervous now~"

Finina smiled and blinked, like a big sister who was very familiar with the process.

——But her slightly red cheeks and slightly rapid breathing completely betrayed her current mood.

Yes, Miss Funina was also very nervous. As for why...

Chang Ming was a little confused.

Seeing that he was still standing there in a daze, Funina put away her playful expression.

She walked up to him quite seriously, gently put her hand on his forehead, as if she was worried about his condition.

"Chang Ming? If you're not in a good mood today...we can just change the date to register. At worst, we can ask Sister Xianyun to calculate another auspicious date for us."

"Then Villette will definitely understand us. It's just a matter of changing the date. It won't be a particularly difficult thing for him."

Feeling the cool touch on his forehead, Chang Ming immediately understood what this scene was.

——Register for marriage.

Although his relationship with Funina did not require a wedding or so-called marriage certificate to prove it, but... this sense of ritual was very important to every girl.

"You can do without it, but you can't live without it" probably means this.

Just like getting a key clue in a puzzle game, Chang Ming's memories that had been obscured by layers of fog unfolded again at this moment.

He remembered it all.

He came here today...to get the marriage certificate with Funina.

Three years had passed since the disaster, and he and Funina had been seen as a couple going out to various occasions by the people of Fontaine.

When he felt that there were more and more ambiguous or blessing glances from the public, he instructed Charlotte to make their affairs public.

After this...he and Funina were no longer an underground couple, but lovers blessed by the entire Fontaine.

Today is the day when they have nominally achieved their goal.

Thinking of this, Chang Ming held Fu Nina's slightly cold soft little hand, and then said softly:

"How could that be? I was just thinking... where should we go for our honeymoon, and when and where should we hold our wedding."

"Let's go. Although I don't think Villette will be anxious, but... we can't keep him waiting, right?"

After that, Chang Ming, under the blessing gaze of the people of Fontaine, took the hand of the girl he had loved for hundreds of years and went to the sacred opera house.

And Furninna let him hold her hand, with a happy yet shy smile on her face.

For her, meeting Chang Ming was already a blessing in her life, and now...

She had him completely captured.

......

After entering the Oprykle Opera House, Chang Ming saw Navilette, who had been waiting for a long time, at first sight.

But...the moment he saw Villette, he suddenly felt something strange, as if something was missing from Villette.

"Maybe I'm overthinking it... Why are you acting so weird today? Am I too nervous?"

Chang Ming shook his head gently to dispel the indescribable strange feeling from his mind.

At this moment, Villette had a very natural smile on her face, as if she was also offering her blessings to the newlyweds.

When Chang Ming and Funina stood on the stage, Villette also stood behind the specially prepared lecture table, picked up the "Complete Works of Fontaine Law" compiled by Chang Ming with a smile on his face, and then said softly:

"Although I have no doubts about your relationship, but... rules are rules, and the necessary procedures must be followed. Please forgive me."

After he finished speaking, Villette cleared his throat and said something that Chang Ming was extremely familiar with.

"Then Mr. Chang Ming, are you willing to marry Miss Funina and love, respect and protect her forever, whether in health or sickness, rich or poor?"

"I am willing."

"Miss Fu Nina, are you willing to be Mr. Chang Ming's wife, and love him, respect him, and support him forever, whether in health or sickness, rich or poor?"

"I am willing."

"Then... in the name of the Supreme Judge of Fontaine, I declare that the two of you—"

Rumbling--

Before Villette uttered the last few words, a loud noise was heard outside the opera house, accompanied by some... screams from the people of Fontaine.

"What are those things?! Eyes?"

"Could it be that... the prophecy has not actually ended, but has just come to us in another form?!"

"No!"

"It was as if a huge hole was torn in the sky..."

Hearing the continuous shouts outside, the three giants of Fontaine in the opera house exchanged glances, and then rushed out without hesitation.

"What it is?"

Finina looked at the eye that slowly opened in the black and red square in the sky with some astonishment, and was at a loss for a moment.

As the eyes opened, the sky suddenly turned black and red, and the originally bright Fontaine was stained with a layer of strange blood light.

——Just like the vampire castles in those fantasy light novels.

Chang Ming frowned and looked at the eye, feeling an indescribable sense of familiarity in his heart.

"This thing... uh..."

An unreasonable pain swept through Chang Ming's consciousness like a tide, and he could feel that his memory was falling apart.

False memories are disintegrating, but reality is returning little by little along with pain.

All of this... is fake.

What public? What three years? What marriage certificate...

Fake, all fake.

These are all illusions created for him by the eye in the sky!

He should be in the Old Sea now, not next to the Dew Spring in Fontaine!

No wonder he felt something strange the moment he saw Villette, because there was no dragon prince named Scylla by his side!

So what should he do now? What exactly is that eye? Is it Phobos or the power of the abyss?

What on earth is going on?!

"No! Chang Ming...!"

A scream from a young girl suddenly pulled Chang Ming out of his thoughts.

He turned around and looked in the direction of Furninna, with unprecedented anxiety and astonishment flashing in his eyes.

Those black and red blocks that were supposed to float around the eye ended up next to Funina at some point.

Not only that, those black and red blocks seemed to have consciousness. They quickly hit Finina's body and wrapped her up layer by layer.

This scene...seems familiar.

The other twin also disappeared in the same way when fighting against Tianli.

But at this moment, Chang Ming didn't have the mind to think so much.

Even if this is an illusion, even if the Funina in front of him is not the real Funina, he will try his best to save her!

Chang Ming's mind flashed through the scenes just now, the girl's shyness, the girl's anger and tenderness...

Even if it was an illusion, he would not give up Funina!

"Funina, grab my hand!"

As if hearing Chang Ming's call, the little white hand stretched out from the cage made of black and red blocks and reached towards Chang Ming with great effort.

Snapped--

On the blood-stained ground, the two held hands again, which made Chang Ming look happy. Just when he was about to free Funina from this miserable cage...

The accident happened again.

Those black and red squares seemed to have life, extending along Funina's arm towards Chang Ming's direction.

Perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps the power from Sky Island wanted to give Chang Ming enough "despair", one of Finina's eyes... had not yet been covered by the black and red square.

She saw the black and red squares spreading upwards, and she also saw Chang Ming who was trying his best to save her.

A layer of mist slowly gathered in that deep blue eye, and eventually turned into tears and slid to the ground.

"Goodbye, my love..."

"Funina! No!!"

She gently loosened her hands, and the black and red blocks stopped spreading and instead completely swallowed her up.

Before she was completely swallowed, Chang Ming saw a smile flash across those deep blue eyes.

It was an encouraging and relieved smile.

But this smile was fleeting, because the owner of the eyes had been swallowed by the strange black and red squares, and then... disappeared without a trace.

Looking at Funina disappearing before his eyes, Chang Ming's pupils began to tremble chaotically, as if his spirit had suffered a great shock.

He now finally understood the scene of the twins' separation.

This feeling of powerlessness...is enough to turn a calm person into a real madman in an instant.

"Chang Ming, stay calm!"

Villette's calm voice once again pulled Chang Ming back from the brink of consciousness collapse, but when he turned around to look at Villette... the last glimmer of hope in his heart was extinguished.

The Dragon King, who had already mastered the complete authority over the water element, was also being devoured by those strange black and red blocks.

Although the progress of the black and red blocks on Villette's body was very slow compared to the speed at which Fininna was eroded, it was only enough to give her a few more words of conversation.

——Even a perfect dragon would find it hard to resist the power of Sky Island.

"This is the power from the sky. No creature born on the continent of Teyvat can resist it."

"But you are an exception, Chang Ming."

"You possess power from outside this world, which means... you are the only one who has the ability to break this deadlock."

"I leave it to you, Mr. Regent."

After saying that, Villette's figure was also swallowed by the black and red cube, and then disappeared in front of him in the same way.

Now, he is the only one left of the Fontaine Big Three.
