Genshin Impact Simulation: Starting with Melsin's Friend

Mello Peterburg, nestled beneath the dark, deep waters of the Fontainebleau district, is a place of lamentation and gathering for exiles.

Since its founding, Fontaine's laws have not included the death penalty. The most severe punishment the court can impose on the most heinous criminals is exile.

Criminals were driven far away by the crowd to the cold, desolate seashore, where they endured the torment of cold, hunger, and loneliness day after day, in order to atone for the many crimes they had committed.

During the endless exile, some criminals began to sincerely repent, praying to the water god for a way to atone for their sins.

God always has mercy on all people, even sinners who have gone astray.

The first water goddess Egolia answered their request, granting them the power to change their situation and aid from Fontaine, while also bestowing upon them a solemn mission.

"Children,"

"Go to the bottom of the sea and guard my secret."

Thus, the initial prisoners worked day and night, eventually building the prototype of Mero Petersburg. They firmly believed that by continuously paying off their debts in this way, they could one day regain their freedom.

As one generation of criminals grew old, a new generation of prisoners took over their work and continued to improve Mero Petersburg until this colossal structure situated in deep water was completed and ultimately became the only place of refuge for all prisoners.

Over the past century, some have served their sentences and left, while others have chosen to stay. Some have entered this place, while others have never returned.

The ancient secrets were buried with the passing of the first prisoners, but Mero Petersburg has always stood beneath the deep waters of the Liffi district, becoming a "country within a country" where exiles gather.

"However, these are just some legends passed down by word of mouth."

"The true history of Melo Petersburg may have long been swallowed up by the ceaseless ocean currents."

The current ruler of Mero Petersburg, or rather the former warden—a kind-looking old man—was there to greet them and was gently introducing the situation of Mero Petersburg to Mu Feng and Sigwen.

A few days ago.

After some friendly (coercive) conversation with Mu Feng, and after Mu Feng promised to provide the Water God with a brand new dessert specially for the Thousand Spirits Festival, the satisfied Water God happily granted Mu Feng's request.

It wasn't that Fufu lacked resolve, but rather that Mufeng's little cakes were too tempting.

Overwhelmed with curiosity, Ms. Funina subtly inquired about the renowned pastry chef Mu Feng and the untold secrets of Mello Petersburg. After receiving the answers, she unusually fell silent.

Frynn was involved in the recent trial and, having a clear understanding of the case, naturally knew that the series of accusations imposed on Siegwen by the nobles were nothing more than kicking her while she was down, and that the law used as the basis for conviction was not perfect or reasonable.

However, even Fufu, who was a water goddess and a mascot, could not help in this matter and could only pray silently for this great little doctor.

"As the god of justice, I am honored to participate in an action to pursue justice."

Fufu stopped her exaggerated movements and solemnly greeted the pastry chef in front of her.

Thus, with the full cooperation of Funina and the tacit approval of Navilette who knew everything, Mu Feng quietly obtained tickets for a two-week trip to Petersburg.

All that is known to the outside world is that the owner of Maple Dew Cafe is away for half a month and desserts will not be available for the time being, but no one knows Mu Feng's whereabouts.

Of course, for some die-hard dessert lovers, this doesn't seem like a small matter, does it?

……

"Then, I hope you two will have a pleasant life in Mero Petersburg. If you need anything, please be sure to let me know."

The old man, with a standardized smile on his face, bowed slightly to Mu Feng and Xigewen, then beckoned a group of guards to come forward and instruct them to lead the two to the prison area for accommodation.

Mu Feng's lips twitched slightly. Despite the old man's kind and gentle appearance, he was no ordinary person who could rise to a position of power in a place like Mero Petersburg, where the law of the jungle prevails.

Although Melo Petersburg is nominally closed and autonomous, it is not immune to infiltration and influence from the outside world, and the people inside are not completely ignorant of outside information.

Mu Feng had every reason to suspect that the man in charge of Mero Petersburg must also have a considerable network of connections and informants on the water, as evidenced by his unusual enthusiasm for the two of them.

However, this is irrelevant to them; their immediate priority is to settle down as soon as possible.

Mu Feng gently pulled Xigewen's little hand, and the little girl seemed to wake up from a dream and hurriedly followed Mu Feng's footsteps, walking towards the prison area under the guidance of the two guards.

Throughout the journey, Siegwen carried her medicine box and remained absent-minded, walking silently with her head down, showing none of her usual gentle and lively demeanor.

Even after arriving at their destination and settling into their cell, the little guy still looked sullen.

Mu Feng squatted down, reached out and gently hugged the somewhat downcast Xigewen, and rubbed her little head.

It's not hard to guess what the little guy is thinking; he simply feels guilty because he thinks his behavior has dragged him down again.

Mu Feng sighed helplessly, pinched Siegwen's cheek, and jokingly teased, "Scared yet? How about we take my advice and stage a Shawshank Redemption right here and now? It'll be a hit."

The preoccupied Siegwen didn't notice the novel words in Mu Feng's words. Instead, she began to apologize repeatedly in a muffled voice, as if dragging Mu Feng into Mero Petersburg was some unforgivable taboo.

Mu Feng chuckled and gave Siegwen's soft cheeks a good squeeze, then gently cupped her face, gazing into the little one's slightly moist ruby ​​eyes, and casually lightened the mood:

"Don't feel guilty, Siegwen."

"Look on the bright side, I could call this a preliminary assessment of future business directions."

"Maybe one day I'll open a branch of a coffee shop in Melo Petersburg. With such a huge market, I have to get a feel for it first, right?"

As he spoke, Mu Feng winked at the nurse, deliberately lowered his voice, and made a tense expression as if he were discussing business secrets, successfully making the little guy laugh through his tears.

Xigewen stretched out her little hands and hugged Mufeng's waist, snuggling closer to him. She buried her face tightly in his embrace, enjoying the warmth that was uniquely hers.

If she didn't do that, it wouldn't be like the gentle Mu Feng she always was...

Hicks actually knows everything.

Thank you, Xigewen's most beloved Mufeng brother.

P.S.: Happy Qixi Festival everyone!
