Okay, let’s go back to the present.

Ying rushed to Fontaine and just saw a few people chatting together.

"Ah, Ying, hello, you guys just arrived?"

Yu Xiuwen waved his hand and said in surprise.

"I was going to ask you guys, how did you get here... Never mind, that's not really surprising. The point is, how come you guys are so fast?!"

Ying said in astonishment.

There were so many of them, and when they set out, Yu Xiuming was still nestling peacefully in his own little nest, but when they finally arrived at Fontainebleau, they didn't know how long they had been there.

Is this the speed at which the demon god travels? It's so terrifying.

"You guys are just a little slow. How was your desert trip? Wasn't it nice?"

Yu Xiuwen joked.

Ying frowned. "Not bad, but I'm exhausted! Yang Wen, when can you open a path through the Xumi Desert? It's too difficult to walk on. I'm surprised you guys made it to Fontainebleau so quickly."

"Excuse me, are you from the desert?"

Linney interrupted the conversation at this point.

Under the puzzled gazes of Ying and Paimon, he smiled slightly and said, "Hello, my name is Linny, and this is my sister Linnet, a magician, and a friend of Mr. Xiu Wen."

"Magician? Friend? Yu Xiuwen, your social skills are amazing..."

Ying was a little shocked.

"Haha, I can't compare to you."

"Okay, back to the topic. Hello, Linny, Linnet, I'm Paimon and she's Ying. We're traveling together and indeed just arrived in Fontaine from the desert."

"Oh, so you're travelers. Uh, maybe no one told you, are you from Liyue or Xumi?"

"Well, strictly speaking, it's Liyue."

"Liyue? As for Liyue, the Sunken Jade Valley should be easier to travel to than the desert. There are trade routes there, and the environment is much more comfortable than the desert."

“…Where is Chenyu Valley?”

After a while.

"Yu Xiuwen! How dare you fool me! You actually lied to me that the only way to get from Liyue to Fontaine is through the desert. I really believed you!"

Ying swung out a punch, aiming at Yu Xiuwen's chest.

Yu Xiuwen gently waved his hand, releasing her force, and smiled awkwardly: "Don't be so angry, you helped a lot of people in the desert, didn't you? Think about it, if you didn't go, would they not get help?"

"...Okay, that's right—that's weird! These are two completely different things, right? Do you think I'm stupid?"

Ying threw another punch angrily, but it was blocked again.

"Isn't that stupid..."

"what?!"

"Well, um, nothing. I don't think you're stupid, it's just... just... well, I just thought it was funny."

Yu Xiuwen couldn't find any other excuse.

"... "

The veins on Ying's forehead bulged and she took a deep breath.

OK OK.

"you…"

Tuk-tuk-tuk!

Two rows of soldiers suddenly ran out of the tall building in an orderly manner, and then lined up in sequence, standing straight like javelins.

A woman in purple, dressed simply and neatly but slightly strangely, with a blank expression and a hat, followed closely behind, standing against the wall with one hand on her hip.

"Lord Water God is here."

Linnet spoke at the right time, distracting Ying's attention and rescuing Yu Xiuwen from the predicament.

Ying glared at him, then shifted her gaze to the platform.

Humph, when I get the chance, I will definitely settle the score with this guy.

Just try to trick her for no reason.

Yu Xiuwen touched his nose helplessly, exchanged glances with the other girls, and also looked up at the same time.

Funina, are you finally here?

Under the gaze of the crowd, a lovely girl with gorgeous clothes and a large head of aloof hair took a proud step onto the box on the platform, hands on her hips, and looked down at the audience with a smug look:

"Rich, poor, with a glass or..."

Before he finished his opening remarks, he suddenly changed his tone and stopped abruptly.

The people in the audience looked at their god in astonishment and confusion, only to see Furninna staring at someone with a dull gaze.

Everyone followed his gaze and saw a handsome young man with a gentle smile waving to Funina.

"You you you you... Yu Xiuwen?!"

Funina lost her composure for the first time in a long time, stuttering as she pointed at Yu Xiuwen with a trembling finger.

"Hey, Lady Finina, it's been a long time. I'm so honored to see you so excited to see you again."

After saying this, he saluted like a gentleman.

“Ah, um…”

Furninda blinked, at a loss.

After hearing about Yu Xiuwen, Funina thought about meeting him again.

But I didn't expect it to be so sudden.

How could her subordinates do their job? They only found the trace of the traveler, and didn’t tell her that Yu Xiuwen was already at the door?

In fact, you can't really blame your subordinates.

Yu Xiuwen is a forgotten "dead man". Even if he appears in Fontainebleau today, how many people can recognize him?

"Fontaine welcomes your return, my dear... subordinate, that... ahem, um, yes. Welcome back, Yu Xiuwen. This is truly the most dramatic and wonderful development today. The waters of Fontaine will also applaud and cheer for you!"

Funina's palms were full of sweat, but a good actor would always adapt to the changes in the play even if he encountered something shocking.

Having played the role of Funina for hundreds of years, even Yu Xiuwen's return could not make her show any flaws.

Then she was the first to applaud.

Then her people looked at each other and applauded.

Even though they didn't know Yu Xiuwen.

The women around Yu Xiuwen narrowed their eyes. This reaction...

Without a doubt, it was acting.

Based on their experience, they didn't believe that the water god of Fontaine could really adjust to his condition after meeting again after such a long separation.

And judging from her tone, a subordinate?

No established relationship?

"Well, Yu Xiuwen, remember to go to Mo Mang Palace after I leave. Now, let's get back to the point. You are not the protagonist today."

Furninna put her hands on her hips and smiled.

In fact, the words were completely against my will.

What she was thinking now was: "Ahhh, he's back! He's back! What should I do?

What expression should I have?

Help, the show has to go on...

You are the protagonist today, and the main topic should be welcoming your return!

Can't we just put the original purpose aside? It's unlikely that the traveler will be able to do anything in Fontaine, right?"

In short, despite her inner excitement and struggle, she was a god and couldn't lose her composure when being watched by so many people... Damn it! Why were all the girls around Yu Xiuwen so beautiful!

It's over, there's no chance of winning. I didn't even get a very warm welcome, just a greeting.

Oh no, look at me, look at me, Xiu Wen!

Ahhhh! Holding hands! Holding hands!

Don't hug him!

...

Life is so short.

Not alive anymore.
