Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Under the gaze of everyone, Chang Ming instantly soared into the air, the ceremonial sword in his hand was stained with a faint aqua blue glow, and he entered a relatively... gentle combat state.

In order for subsequent plans to proceed smoothly, Chang Ming does not intend to use too much abyss power to interfere with the current Narcissus Cross Courtyard.

The current level of strength... is enough.

As the pair of black wings behind him slowly spread out, the ceremonial sword in Chang Ming's hand suddenly burst out with an even more dazzling aqua-blue light.

The water-blue light shot up into the sky, until it formed a water-blue lightsaber that soared into the sky, emitting a heart-pounding murderous aura.

The swordsman holding this lightsaber is Chang Ming, who emits terrifying energy fluctuations that are even enough to distort the surrounding space.

"Master Magic Swordsman, what are you going to do?"

An looked at the figure floating in the sky in a daze, revealing some incomprehensible expressions.

Al fell into a brief silence, and after a while he said in horror:

"He wants to destroy the tower directly and kill the dragon Narcissus directly, but - but the princess is still in the tower!!"

Hearing Al's words, Ying and Paimon raised their heads in astonishment, looking at the god-like figure with a hint of disbelief.

Although I know Chang Ming may have his own plans, but...but isn't this a bit too extreme? !

Killing the person you want to save directly...this is not an extreme problem anymore!

Even if these little guys and the so-called princess are illusions, you can't do this!

It was at this moment that Paimeng instantly thought of the only person present who might be able to control Chang Ming——

"Funina! Please take care of Chang Ming! Did he get the question wrong?!"

At this moment, Finina gently shook her head, looked at the figure in the sky, and said softly:

"He is not mistaken. He just wants to use this method to absorb the water element that is used to form the so-called magic dragon."

"Although it looks scary, he uses the water element, not the fire element or other elements with stronger attack power."

After these words were spoken, Paimeng, who was originally a little frightened, fell into a brief daze, and only came to his senses after a while.

"So, is that so? I thought Chang Ming—"

Paimon shook his head quickly, but the expression on his face was still somewhat unbelievable, as if he was shocked to the extreme.

And what happened next was just as Finina had said, as a blue lightsaber fell from the sky, slashing towards the tower in front of them with overwhelming force.

boom--

A huge roar was accompanied by a thick layer of smoke and dust, and no matter how you looked at it, it didn't look like it would "not destroy the tower."

"Your Majesty the Princess!!!"

"Chang Ming!"

Al's voice and Paimon's slightly anxious voice rang out in this space at the same time. Al couldn't wait any longer and took the lead to run towards the direction of the tower.

But what our eyes see is not always the truth.

When Al ran to the bottom of the tower and was about to question Chang Ming, who was like a god descended from the earth... he suddenly found that the smoke and dust were gradually dissipating.

"That is--"

Al widened his eyes, looking in disbelief at the tower entangled by the dragon that had lost the water element. For a moment he couldn't believe it.

"T-This is actually true! He solved all of this?!"

"I've told you before, this is actually a very simple matter, just leave it to me."

Chang Ming gently patted the dust off his shoulders, then slowly landed from mid-air. He then turned his head to look at the people rushing over behind him and said:

"Everyone, perhaps you are mistaken. This is not a demon dragon, nor even a basic life form. It is just a statue made of water."

"Ann, I need a reasonable explanation - or... where can we rescue your princess?"

Hearing Chang Ming's words, An tilted his head slightly, then lowered his head, like a child who had made a mistake.

"Ouch... Sorry, I forgot to tell you just now... The dragon is not actually on the tower. It should be the polymer of its resentment..."

"It coveted our kingdom, the princess and her property, but the princess chose to sleep in the tower. It was very unhappy, so it created the bad water and this statue."

Having said this, An paused for a moment, and then said in a somewhat strange tone:

"But... I haven't seen this sculpture before when I was in the water. Is it because we drove away all the bad water?"

A thoughtful look appeared on An's face, as if he was thinking about the rationality of what he had just said.

Hearing this, Chang Ming shrugged indifferently, then looked at Al who seemed to have something to say to him, and asked softly:

"What's wrong? Is there something you want to say?"

"...I'm sorry, Master Swordsman! I shouldn't have been so rude to you just now! Sorry!"

As Al spoke, he shook his duck neck vigorously, as if this action, similar to bowing to wish a happy new year, meant an apology in his world.

Chang Ming chuckled and shook his head when he saw this.

"There's nothing to be sorry about, Al. It's normal to feel this way. It proves that you are loyal to Her Majesty. You are worried about her, aren't you?"

"If you ask me, it's normal for you to have this kind of emotion. Otherwise... I would start to wonder if there's something wrong with you."

Chang Ming smiled as if jokingly, and then turned his attention to the slightly damaged tower.

"Let's get back to the topic, everyone. I still want to know what we should do next to solve the problem, and then successfully enter the sleeping place to wake up the princess, and finally have a decisive battle with the dragon?"

Hearing this, Ann, Al, and Little Cabbage looked at each other, as if they were in a daze, or as if they were thinking about what to do next.

After a brief eye contact, An shook his body slightly, then looked at Chang Ming in front of him quite sincerely and said softly:

"Well... What we need to do next is to gather all the members of the Narcissus Cross Adventure Group, and then make further plans, such as how to open the tower, how to wake up the princess, etc..."

An stretched out his pitifully short little hand and scratched his head, an indescribable expression appearing on his face.

"I don't know what's going on, but I always feel like...something is weird..."

After muttering this sentence, An raised his head slightly, looked at Chang Ming in front of him, and said solemnly:

"Anyway, let's go find Jacques first. He should be in the square over there now. If it's him... he should be able to come up with a better solution, right?"

As he spoke, An gently floated towards the direction of the square not far from them, while Chang Ming and the others blinked slightly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"...I feel like we're going to unlock new aquatic creatures soon..."

Paimeng scratched his head, a hint of hesitation appeared on his face, then he looked at Chang Ming and asked:

"By the way, Chang Ming, what exactly is that method you just mentioned? Where should it be used, or what is the effect?"

Hearing this, Chang Ming did not answer immediately, but slowed down his pace a little, put some distance between himself and the remaining two members of the Narcissus Cross Adventure Group, and then said softly:

"If my guess is correct, the so-called Narcissus Cross Kingdom is a collective illusion with the ruins of Narcissus Cross Court as its core, and the solution to break the entire illusion lies in that sleeping place."

"As long as we can successfully reach the resting place, I have my own way to solve all this."

"Not only that, as long as this illusion is broken, Carter Pila and his team's subsequent investigation will be smoother. Of course, I added this point myself, and I don't know whether it will be true or not."

After saying something completely nonsensical, Chang Ming shrugged lightly, then walked quickly towards the square not far away.

Paimeng frowned slightly, and a look of confusion appeared on his childish face, as if he felt that Chang Ming's words were a bit... too difficult to understand.

But she didn't dwell on it too much. After all...she felt that not everyone could understand what someone like Chang Ming said, including herself.

If you understand it, it means your IQ has exploded; if you don’t understand it, that’s completely normal.

Ying and Funina looked at each other and shrugged at the same time, as if one of them had no idea how to deal with her own guide and the other had no idea how to deal with her own riddler.

But soon, they walked towards the square at the other end. After all, the next thing was more important.

However, they didn't know at this moment that when they all arrived at the square, they would witness a side of Chang Ming that he had never shown in front of others.

——As a regent, he was extremely venomous in diplomacy.

......

Since the square was not actually far away, everyone arrived at their destination in a short while.

When they approached the square, they saw a blue figure jumping around in the square from time to time.

"Ah! Look, there he is, Jacques!"

An seemed to recognize his companion, and then he floated forward quickly while speaking.

The frog named Jacques seemed to notice their presence as well, and then it also jumped towards them.

"Oh~ look who's here, two blue ones, a yellow one and a white one, and little Cabbage and Ann..."

"I see. The water was drained because of you. Great, great, it's really amazing. If I had hands like the white, yellow, and blue ones, I would applaud!"

"...?"

Although Chang Ming already knew the content of this part, when he was truly called a color block... he still felt a little uncomfortable.

It's just that...Al seemed to hear a hidden meaning in Jacques' slightly strange words.

"My dear friend, please be respectful. The little cabbage is working very hard."

"Well, you're right, she didn't do anything wrong, in the final analysis..."

Just when Jacques wanted to say something else, he noticed that An was looking at him with an indescribable look, and he snorted again and stopped talking.

"Forget it, what are these yellow, white and two blue ones...?"

"Ah, they are Knight Ying and Knight Paimon, as well as Magic Swordsman Chang Ming and Magician Funina!"

An excitedly introduced the foreign aid he had just moved in to his fellow adventurers. However, compared to these, Jacques himself...or rather, Ben Frog seemed to care more about something else.

"Oh? He is a knight, a magician, and a magic swordsman. He should not be a feudal warrior in the ordinary sense. He should not be an "honorary knight" or something like that, an identity with only a title but no actual benefits, right?"

Hearing this, Paimon frowned slightly, and then retorted unhappily:

"Ying has worked very hard for Mond to get this title, and she is also respected by the people of Mond! It's not like what you said at all!"

"And Chang Ming, he is the regent of Fontaine, supporting the operation of a country! Although he is idle now, his past contributions cannot be buried!"

"Funina is the water goddess of Fontaine! She is the water goddess who saved the country from danger! She is not the "feudal little warrior" you said!"

Paimon crossed his arms over his chest and spoke loudly to the frog in dissatisfaction.

However, Jacques didn't seem to care about Paimon's unhappiness. He just nodded slightly and then said:

"You seem to be a group of capable and pragmatic people. Well, welcome to join the Jacques Orchestra."

"?"

Paimon looked at the frog in front of him with some confusion, and was unable to react for a moment.

Isn't it the Narcissus Cross Adventure Group? How did it become something like... an orchestra?

"The name is just a metaphor, because we are like an orchestra, each of us has his own role, weaving the music of resisting Narcissus and saving Miss Lilith."

As if he had noticed Paimon's confusion, Jacques explained in a serious manner.

"Miss...? Isn't Lilith a princess? Why would she..."

Ying frowned. She was finding the current situation increasingly difficult to understand. What was going on?

"Uh... Dear friend, whether it's Princess or Miss, it's the same, it's just our way of addressing each other, let's put this aside for now, let's-"

Al seemed to realize that something was wrong. He was about to let these two friends he had just met escape from Jacques's inexplicably stubborn consciousness, but unexpectedly, the frog spoke directly at this moment:

"Listen carefully, the title of princess is a class title inherent in an oppressive system. It is not obtained through labor and wisdom, but is innate.

Just like the title of "Water God", although in the end he made something that lived up to the title, the process of obtaining it was innate, and it was not fair. "

Hearing this, Chang Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, then snorted coldly and said:

"You mean... this world should be absolutely fair?"
