Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Chang Ming's words made Fu Nina subconsciously raise her head. Her beautiful eyes looked at Chang Ming strangely, then she snorted and said:

"Humph, I'm not the god in those operas who demands sacrifices from his followers and subjects. These are what you, as my follower... should do for me!"

Finina raised her head slightly, trying her best to maintain her usual external persona.

It's just...her performance today was a little bit lacking.

Hearing this, Chang Ming raised his head slightly, and wanted to comfort Funina in a gentle tone as before, but...

In the afternoon sunlight, he found a trace of tears at the corner of the girl's eye.

The tear marks were well concealed by Funina, and I guess they were just the remnants of a hasty repair...

"Ah...Funina's mental pressure is really getting greater and greater. In the past, she could calm down for at least half a year after being comforted, but now she can't bear it for just a few days..."

Chang Ming sighed silently in his heart, and then took the opportunity to drink black tea to observe Fu Ningna's room.

——He wanted to find the source of Furninna’s mental stress from the clues left in the room.

The pair of sea-blue eyes quickly scanned every corner of Funina's room, but didn't find anything.

Just when Chang Ming was still considering whether to beat around the bush to get information out of Funina, his eyes were attracted by a newspaper that was placed casually on the bedside table.

Perhaps because of the effect of that special divine eye, Chang Ming easily resonated with the thunder element in the air, and finally... saw the contents of the newspaper.

When Chang Ming saw the contents clearly... he really had an urge to rush out and demolish the Steambird Newspaper Office as an illegal building.

Although this is just one page of today's newspaper sold by Steambird News, almost all sections on this page are related to Funina.

"What the water goddess Funina said in the opera house... is she really confident or is she just pretending to be mysterious?"

"Faced with the prophecy, she chose to avoid talking about it. Was she planning a strategy or was she pretending to be profound because she was unsure?"

"Is Funina really the water goddess of Fontaine? Why is she indifferent in the face of the prophecy crisis?"

Seeing this, Chang Ming closed his eyes slightly and didn't want to read on.

This entire page...is devoted to criticizing some of the behavior that Fernina exhibited during the second trial.

After the "Water of the Original Fetal Sea" appeared in the public eye, the environment in Fontaine suddenly became a little... everyone was in danger.

They desperately wanted to get a solution to the prophecy from Funina, but they did not get what they wanted.

The rumors said that the so-called "prophecy" was actually a "problem" left by the first water god Egolia to the second water god Fukalos.

This statement is equivalent to putting all the responsibility for the "prophecy" on Funina's head.

They naturally thought that Furniture, who had lived for five hundred years, would come up with a solution. If Furniture didn't say it clearly... then she would be a sinner for all eternity.

But what did Funina say?

Could it be that she had to say: Fucaros told her to hold on, and when the time was right, the prophecy would naturally be resolved?

She did tell the public that she had a way, but she just couldn't say it openly. But what was the result?

——What did she get besides being labeled as "mystifying"?

Thinking of this, Chang Ming couldn't help but take a breath, then turned to look at Funina who was eating the cake in front of him somewhat carelessly, and felt a little distressed for a moment.

Five hundred years of loneliness is already unbearable for ordinary people, and now she has to endure the so-called "distrust" from the people...

This kind of content makes people feel suffocated just thinking about it.

Chang Ming shook his head gently, then looked deeply at Funina, and after calming down a little, he asked:

"Funina...did they say something about you again?"

Hearing this, Funina paused while cutting the cake, then pretended to be nonchalant and said:

"Isn't this normal? How can a mortal understand the thoughts of a god?"

"Since I said there is a way, then there is a way. I never talk nonsense or make empty wishes."

"I am a god, how could I bother with my people?"

"When the time is right...I will naturally solve the problem."

Furninna shrugged her shoulders pretending to be indifferent, as if she really didn't care about those opinions at all.

But...Chang Ming could hear it.

The words she said... were not only for him to hear, but also for herself to cheer herself up.

Compared to the five hundred years of dancing alone...the people's lack of understanding and trust hurt her more deeply.

Thinking of this, Chang Ming sighed slightly, and began to think about how to make Funina a little happier.

But... he couldn't comfort her so openly, nor could he say something like "Even if you are not the Water God, I will still stand by your side."

These words were not meant to comfort Funina at all, but to rub salt into her wounds.

She would feel that even Chang Ming thought she was no longer like the Water God, which meant that the mission given to her by the self in the mirror had completely failed.

——Her loneliness over the past five hundred years was completely meaningless.

Chang Ming is not a fool, he can't talk like that.

After another moment of silence, Chang Ming stared at Funina who was still eating the cake, and let out a long breath. He already had an idea in his mind.

As her regent, Chang Ming not only has to comfort her at this time, but also...

Stand up for her.

"It's just another interview, no big deal..."

As Chang Ming thought about this, he looked at Funina who was eating a small cake in front of him and called softly:

"Funina..."

"Hmm? What's the matter? Do you want some cake? My diligent regent?"

Chang Ming shook his head, blinked his gentle sea-blue eyes slightly, and said softly:

"As your regent...I will always stand by your side and protect you from those rumors."

"Even if one day... you will stand against the entire Fontaine because of your plan to save the world..."

"I will also stand firmly by your side, my Lord God."

After saying that, Chang Ming gently picked up the cane placed aside and hurried out.

He had to go find Charlotte. He had to do his best to... curb the impact of these guys' remarks on Funina's mental state.

The title of "Mo Mang Palace External Spokesperson"...can finally be re-used.

Let me tell you, including the chapter I added today... I still owe you eight more chapters as a gift. There should be another chapter this afternoon or evening.

After all, considering that this is a player's article, there will be more or less a transition period between versions. I will try my best to make this section of daily life and the meeting between the two top social animals of Fontaine Liyue more interesting.
