Genshin Impact simulation, the Shura field is endless
Chapter 218: A moment of trance, time passed in the blink of an eye
In the end, Yu Xiuwen did not do what the mysterious voice said.
He was sent to jail for no reason and the explanation was vague, so how could he possibly listen?
What's more, regardless of the fact that he is Funina's pastry chef, at least his parents are old and still in Fontaine City. You can't just throw them into prison, right?
So the matter was put on hold for the time being.
But every time he went to watch the trial afterwards, he would hear the same voice, which disturbed him.
Until one day, it rained continuously and thunder rumbled in the sky. Several bolts of lightning struck, leaving some streets in ruins, but there were no casualties.
At the time, Yu Xiuwen was still at the opera house. The voice relayed another message to him: "They've got their eyes on you."
...
Yu Xiuwen's expression changed.
Is this thunder coming towards him?
But why?
Over the next few days, there were occasional thunderstorms, but they gradually decreased and eventually disappeared.
People in Fontaine City talked about this incident, but because there were no casualties, the panic disappeared as the weather returned to sunny, and people just regarded it as a special weather phenomenon.
Yu Xiuwen came to the Cardinal of Oracles again, and the voice once again warned him that he had to leave the ground in the last few years, otherwise the consequences would be irreversible.
At this point, Yu Xiuwen had no choice but to believe it.
So, after a few years, when both his parents passed away and the funeral was completed, Yu Xiuwen finally made up his mind.
"What?! You're going to Mello Petersburg?!"
Furninna stood up suddenly.
After decades, her appearance remains the same, while Yu Xiuwen's face looks a little weathered.
But he doesn't look old at all, instead he has some of the charm that is unique to mature men.
Because the funeral had just taken place, there was still fatigue in his eyes.
Yu Xiuwen was not surprised by Funina's reaction.
He just smiled helplessly: "Lady Funina, after all these years, you are still not very stable."
"How can you be so calm? What time is it and you're still joking?!"
Finina didn't bother to argue with him, and couldn't maintain her dignity as a god. "Why? Are you unhappy about your parents' death, so you plan to go underwater? You can't possibly have committed a crime and are here to confess, right?"
"No, no, how could it be a crime? I'm a law-abiding citizen."
Yu Xiuwen waved his hands and rubbed his brows. "It's not that I'm so heartbroken because of my parents' death that I'm planning to end up in prison and live out my life in solitude."
"Then why?!"
"Well... you think I'll be old in a few years, and you don't want you to see my aging appearance?"
Yu Xiuwen said with a smile.
The decree ruled that the cardinal must not let Funina know the reason for his departure.
He couldn't understand why the consciousness within the water god's creation would hide it from the water god, but he had no choice but to do as he was told.
Moreover, what he said was not entirely a lie.
He became Funina's exclusive pastry chef when he was young, and he knew her tastes and preferences very well. He could proudly say that he must have left a good impression on her.
Yes, he is just a mortal after all and cannot escape the passage of time.
To be honest, if Funina saw him like this when he was old and gray, she would not be able to bear it.
I should be a handsome young man, not a handsome old man.
Furninna was silent.
She had been forcing herself not to think about the fact that Yu Xiuwen would grow old sooner or later, but she didn't expect it to be pointed out directly.
"I don't believe that's all your reason."
"Of course not. But I'm sorry, Lady Finina, I never thought that there would be a day when I would need to hide something from you... These are my personal reasons."
Yu Xiuwen lowered his head.
Just as Fernina had been hiding something from him, he also had to hide it from Fernina.
"..." Finina bit her lip tightly, her eyes starting to moisten uncontrollably, but no drops of water condensed and fell. "I won't allow it. I'm a god, I don't approve."
"If you don't approve, I'll have to do something illegal. Well, actually, I'm a person who values my reputation quite a bit. When I go to Melo Petersburg, I'd rather claim that I'm on an important mission than have committed a crime."
Yu Xiuwen spread his hands.
"Do you threaten me?"
Furninna clenched her fists.
"... "
"Okay, you're awesome! From today on, you're fired. Get out! Go find that Villette!"
This time, Funina was really angry. Her usual acting skills disappeared and she was so aggrieved that she almost cried.
Yu Xiuwen looked at her in a daze.
What kind of emotion is this? Sadness, loneliness, anger, mixed in the air, with a sour taste.
The lies vanished.
He bowed deeply and made a final salute. "Lady Finina, I'm sorry, but I've left the recipes for various desserts in my house. If you're interested, you can take them. If you can accept a small request, after I go to Melopentery, please have someone place a few bouquets of flowers at my parents' graves every few years on my behalf."
Then he sighed deeply and slowly retreated.
The sound of a door closing gently was heard behind her. Furninna stood in front of the mirror, squatted down, and buried her face in her arms.
"As a god, I won't cry."
------
"Isn't Lady Fernina here?"
In front of the entrance of Mello Petersburg, Navilette came in person to see Yu Xiuwen off.
There was a hint of regret in Yu Xiuwen's eyes.
"She said she was coming, but she hasn't done anything yet."
Navilette shook her head.
"...Never mind. I guess he's mad at me."
"... "
The two were silent.
"Why do you have to go to Mellow Petersburg?"
"I said it was for Fontaine, do you believe me?"
Yu Xiuwen said casually, his tone sounding like he was joking.
Villette hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."
"Huh? Do you really believe it?"
Yu Xiuwen was surprised.
"Besides that, you don't have any other excuse. It didn't seem like you were lying just now."
That Villette looked serious.
"...Well. They say I'm good at controlling people's hearts, and it seems that Lord Navilette, as an Inquisitor, is no less capable than me."
Yu Xiuwen scratched his head.
"I can't compare to you. I just understand people I'm familiar with better."
"You're so modest! If there's a case that won't be solved soon, you can send me the files and evidence in Mellow Petersburg. They'll be sitting there in the dark, doing nothing anyway."
"it is good."
That Villette did not refuse.
After all, Yu Xiuwen has indeed played a significant role in this regard.
"Well, okay, then, Mr. Villette, see you again..."
Before he finished speaking, another energetic voice rang out from not far away: "Humph, as my close subordinate, about to go to Melo Petersburg to help this god with his worries, you didn't even wait for me?"
Furninna paced over with a hint of dissatisfaction and a smile on her face.
Yu Xiuwen was stunned.
"You're here?"
"Of course, you have served under this god for so many years, so it is only right that I come to see you off."
Finina acted as if it was a matter of course.
The smile remains unchanged.
"...Lady Finina, it's truly wonderful to see you smiling like this as I prepare to leave."
"...Of course. I'm a god, and I've seen generations of my people come and go. You're my pastry chef, and I'm deeply sorry to see you go. But don't think I'll be sad for days on end because of you. Maybe I'll find a new pastry chef someday!"
Furninha had a proud attitude.
She was just as arrogant as when she asked Yu Xiuwen if he could be her pastry chef.
but…
The smell of lies is too strong.
There is no truth in the wind.
"Really? That's great."
Yu Xiuwen said nothing more and turned to step into another world.
But in the end, he turned back and said, "Lady Finina, I don't know what you have been hiding from me, but it doesn't matter now. I just hope that you can always be happy, instead of forcing yourself to smile like you do now."
