Night fell, and the stars twinkled. As Furninna strolled along the quiet streets, she suddenly heard a faint meow. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a small, dainty cat hiding in a corner, its round eyes gazing at her curiously.

Attracted by this cute little creature, Funina walked gently towards the cat, trying to attract its attention. The cat seemed to sense Funina's kindness and did not run away, but looked at her with gentle eyes.

Finnina reached out her hand, wanting to stroke the cat's fur, but it nimbly jumped away and began to play a game of chase with her. The cat didn't run very fast, always stopping after a few steps and looking back to see if Finnina was still chasing it. When Finnina approached, the cat would quickly run away, maintaining a safe distance.

"Haha, don't run, let me touch you." Funina said to the cat with a smile.

The cat seemed to understand what she said. It tilted its head to look at Furninna, then made a soft call: "Meow? Meow." as if responding to her request.

However, when Funina approached the cat again, it ran away swiftly, looking back, as if telling Funina that only by catching up with it would it have the chance to touch its soft fur.

Funina never tires of playing with the cat, enjoying this simple happiness. In this quiet night, she forgets all her worries and immerses herself in the joy of interacting with the cat.

However, this night was different from usual, no longer peaceful and tranquil. In the distance, a mysterious figure in a black robe leaned against a tree trunk, silently watching Funina chasing the cat. He whispered, "You seem completely unconcerned with the prophecy. Is there something you're relying on? Lord Water God, please forgive my offense." The black-robed figure gently wiped the short blade in his hand and slowly approached Funina.

Meanwhile, Funina finally caught the naughty kitten and gently held it in her arms. She chuckled and said, "Haha, you're such a naughty little fellow! I finally caught you." She gently stroked the kitten's head, and the kitten purred contentedly, "Meow~ Meow..."

At this moment, Finina had no idea that the black-robed figure was approaching silently not far behind her, and the short blade in his hand was flashing coldly in the moonlight.

Suddenly, the cat screamed in fear and jumped up, knocking Funina off balance. This sudden change made the black-robed man's attack miss.

Finina looked at the man in black robes in horror, her body trembling, her voice filled with fear and despair: "Ah! Don't... don't kill me... please, let me go..."

The black-robed man's voice was low and cold: "Don't be nervous. I don't intend to take your life. On the contrary, I just want to borrow your other heart."

As the black-robed figure spoke, she slowly lifted her hood, revealing a clean face. Finina's eyes widened as she finally recognized the figure before her—the Fourth Fatui Executor—Servant Alechino.

However, despite recognizing the other person, Furniture was still shrouded in fear and even forgot who she was. Her mind was filled with panic and helplessness, and she was completely unable to think.

"How dare someone assassinate me in this dark night? Take my peck! Chirp!" As soon as the words fell, a shadow rushed towards Alecino. Alecino raised her hand and caught the origami bird.

"Ha, interesting." Alechino looked at the origami bird. Although she was quite curious about this paper creature, it seemed that someone had noticed the commotion here, so it would be better for her to leave quickly.

"Clang!" When she was about to retreat, she suddenly swung the short blade in her hand backwards to block Clorinde's long sword.

Alechino was startled; she hadn't expected to encounter such a formidable opponent here. Clorinde's sword strikes were fierce, each one imbued with immense power, forcing Alechino to fight with all her might.

The two exchanged blows, dozens of rounds in a flash, the air around them seemingly cleaving with their swords. Alechino's short blade was as cunning as a venomous snake, while Clorinde's longsword was as steady and powerful as a towering mountain.

In the fierce exchange, Alecino gradually realized that she could not continue to fight. She feinted, dodged, and quickly retreated. Clorinde pursued her relentlessly, swinging her sword again. Sword energy whistled out, and it hurtled towards Alecino.

Alechino dodged Clorinde's attacks, searching for a chance to escape. Finally, she found an opening, and with a flash, she vanished into the darkness. Clorinde chased her around a corner, but could no longer find Alechino. He frowned, knowing the assassination attempt had failed.

In a corner not far away, Furninna witnessed all of this, the fear still lingering in her heart. She didn't know why these people wanted to kill her, nor did she know what to do next. She could only pray silently, hoping that this nightmare would end soon...

After arriving at the scene, Cares looked at Funina sitting on the ground in shock. He asked the origami bird beside him, "Assassination? Or targeting the Water God?"

The origami bird tilted its head and said in confusion, "Chiu? Is this God? Why do I feel like he's even worse than Tatarov?"

Clorinde sighed, "What a pity, the assassin got away."

Silver and Myles exchanged a glance, then said to Origami Bird, "Mr. Origami Bird, if the assassin's target is this person, maybe we really shouldn't bother with it."

When Funina heard their conversation, she became very nervous. She was worried that her identity as the fake water god would be exposed. She didn't know how to respond for a moment and could only remain silent.

At this moment, a man's voice suddenly emerged: "The Water God has returned his power to the Dragon King. Facing that kind of assassin, he certainly has no power to fight back."

Hearing this voice, Clorinde instantly became alert and looked around for the source of the sound. Her eyes finally fell on King Hao, who was standing next to Funina with a calm expression.

"It's you?" Clorinde asked in surprise.

Carles also followed Clorinde's gaze and saw Queen Hao. A puzzled expression appeared on his face and he said, "Um... Mr. King Hao?"

Navia looked at King Hao curiously and said to herself, "How amazing! I didn't see him just now. When did he arrive?"

At this moment, a small origami bird flew over to King Hao and said in its clear voice, "It's been a while since I've had some Suleda. If I had enough energy, I could have knocked that guy who was trying to do something bad away. Don't tell me you didn't bring Suleda with you."

Navia's eyes widened as she pointed at the origami bird and asked, "Is this magical bird yours?"
