Genshin Impact: The Great Evil Dragon’s Death System

Inside the Buffati Mansion.

A servant handed Jing Fantian a cup of coffee, which Jing Fantian took and drank rather rudely, treating it like plain water, and seemed somewhat dissatisfied.

"What is this taste? It's so bitter!"

The servant said speechlessly, "You really can't stand even the slightest bit of bitterness! Coffee is supposed to taste bitter."

Jing Fantian said quite naturally, "I suffered too much in my past life, so I swear I will never suffer again in this life. I want sweetness, really sweetness."

The servant shook his head and instructed Lynette, "Lynette, go and make him a cup of milk."

Jing Fantian didn't forget to remind her, "Linette, don't forget to add some fine wine."

Ambrosia?!

The servants and Lynette seemed to have little question marks on their heads. When they asked Jing Fantian what it was, Jing Fantian said it was a girl's saliva.

Linette was immediately given a disapproving look by a servant, and she really wanted to spit on Jing Fantian's head.

What a pervert!

The servant looked at Jing Fantian helplessly and said, "Dragons are supposed to be noble and proud creatures, so why can't I find a trace of pride in you?"

Jing Fantian ate the desserts on the table and said, "There's nothing I can do about it, I was a tile maker in my past life."

"Ding Ti?!"

The servant was puzzled, thinking it must be a beastly act!

The servant took a sip of coffee, displaying her elegance, and anyone would subconsciously think that she was a high-ranking noblewoman.

If she hadn't joined the Fools, with her abilities, she would most likely have been granted the title of Grand Duchess in Fontaine.

Jing Fantian was puzzled: "Coffee is so bitter, why do you still like to drink it?"

The servant smiled and said, "Actually, there are many kinds of coffee. It's just that my coffee is a little bitter. I don't like bitterness, but I enjoy the process of refreshing myself."

Jing Fantian nodded.

The servant then asked, "Did you come to Fontaine just to compete with Funina?"

Jing Fantian smiled at the servant and said, "Of course not, I just came to see you."

"Come here, Pepe, let me see your hands."

"A grudge from Arecino, +100 Constellation Points."

Pepe was given the name by Clementine, a friend the servant had met in the House of Hearths when she was a child.

Her original name was Peruvieri, but Clévius thought it sounded too intimate, so she started calling her Pepe.

Only Clementine dared to call her that.

This represents the servant's purest past; if an ordinary person dared to call out to him, he would have been slowly stewed by the servant long ago.

Linni, Glend, and Shaplow were only chuckling at the servant's nickname before being sent to Moman Palace to carry out their mission, which was no different from being close-range observers of a nuclear bomb.

The servant didn't know how Jing Fantian knew about his past; perhaps he learned it from the ley lines or the World Tree.

Ley lines can collect all information from the earth, and the World Tree is the central hub that gathers all information. Legend has it that ley lines are the blood vessels of the Rock Dragon, and the Rock Dragon is the guardian that dwells at the bottom of the World Tree.

If this dragon becomes corrupted or is corrupted by the abyss, it will turn into the evil dragon Nidhogg, which will devour the roots of the World Tree and destroy the world.

Regardless of where Jing Fantian got this information, he shouldn't have addressed his servant like that.

The servants were not allowed to call her by her nickname except for Clementine, and she had never told anyone her nickname.

But Jing Fantian was someone you couldn't beat or scold away, so the servants could only let him shout like that.

The servants got used to it after being called that so many times.

She thought her life ended the moment Clementine willingly died by her own sword, and now, hearing the somewhat unfamiliar yet endearing nickname of her servant Pepe, she was filled with a myriad of emotions.

Perhaps soon no one will shout that anymore.

It wasn't that Jing Fantian died, but rather that something unexpected happened to her.

The crimson moon power within the servant is a corrupted power, the power preserved from the shattering of the rainbow moon in March and the crimson shadow sinking into the abyss. It is also the origin of the faith of the Kanria Crimson Moon Dynasty.

The power of the Crimson Moon—the Bloodfire of the Calamity Moon—gave the servant the ability to change his fate, but fate's gift had already come with a hidden price.

If the servant frequently uses the Calamity Moon Bloodfire within his body, his body will inevitably be swallowed by the abyss.

When the abyss devours the heart, the servant will be completely transformed into an abyssal monster.

This is the price of the power of the Crimson Moon.

Jing Fantian looked at the servant's somewhat dark hands. From a distance, others might mistake them for black gloves worn by the servant. Only upon closer inspection could one see that the servant's hands were indeed very dark.

Jing Fantian felt a pang of heartache: "Peipei, have you been using the power of the Calamity Moon within you again recently?"

The servant's words remained as cold and indifferent as ever.

"How can I maintain my position as an executive officer without that power? Power always comes at a price, no matter what kind of power it is, including the Dragon King's power within you."

Jing Fantian asked in confusion, "What price could there be for the power I possess? Doesn't it feel quite comfortable to use?"

The servant touched Jing Fantian's dragon horns and laughed, "It's just too powerful. Powerful, without any side effects, will make you look down on everything and do whatever you want."

"If you were a little weaker, you wouldn't act so irrationally."

Jing Fantian brushed the servant's hand away and said, "What do you mean by 'weak'? I like power that's strong enough to do whatever I want. If I take back the power of the Ancient Dragon, then the Heaven of Heaven will be the Heaven of Fantian."

"The power of Gu Long?!"

The servant was taken aback.

Jing Fantian realized that the Fools' research on dragons was actually very superficial; their research on power was more focused on the Evil Eye.

Not only had the servants never heard of the ancient dragon's great power, but some gods or rulers had also never heard of it.

After all, "The Story of the Sun and Moon" is a forbidden book, and Teyvat was once the world of Gulong, and also a secret among secrets.

The servant vaguely sensed that the ancient dragon's power mentioned by Jing Fantian was a major secret, perhaps related to the strange behavior of Fengdan.

She pressed on, "Brahma, what is this Ancient Dragon Power you're talking about?"

Jing Fantian quickly pretended to be deaf and dumb: "What Ancient Dragon Power? Did I say that? Ancient Dragon Power is a kind of food made by mixing 42 concrete evenly and adding Jueyun pepper. It..."

Jing Fantian started spouting strange nonsense again.

The servant listened to Jing Fantian's words speechlessly, guessing that this guy definitely didn't want to tell her about the power of the ancient dragon.

After rambling on, Jing Fantian returned to the main topic, stroking his servant's hand: "Your hands have been severely corroded by the abyss. You shouldn't use your Crimson Moon power anymore."

The servant removed his hand from Jing Fantian's and laughed, "Without the Calamity Bloodfire, I would be a weak woman with no strength to even kill a chicken. In the den of dragons and tigers like the Fools, I would not be able to protect myself without any power."

Jing Fantian grabbed the servant's hand again: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you. Anyone who dares to hurt you, I will kill their whole family."

The servant smiled and pinched Jing Fantian's cheek: "It's been a long time since anyone said they would protect me. The last time they said that, let me think..."
