Thousand Spirits' Day is one of Fontaine's most important festivals.

Legend has it that on this day thousands of years ago, the Pure Water Knight found traces of the Pure Water Spirit. Under his protection, the first Water Goddess, Egolia, overthrew the rule of the stubborn monarch, Remuria. From then on, the prototype of modern Fontaine gradually took shape.

To commemorate the heroic deeds of the Knights of Pure Water and the founding of Fontaine, and to highlight the unique justice of Fontaine's "law" and "judgment," the Thousand Souls' Day was established.

Every year on the day of Souls' Day, people would imitate the Knight of Pure Water, wearing special clothes, carrying a golden cup, and going from house to house asking for pure water as a symbol of justice.

Since the first water goddess Egolia passed away in the Dewdrop Sea, Furna became the new water ruler of Fontaine. At the suggestion of the lively Fou, she changed the Thousand Spirits Festival into a carnival for the people to enjoy together.

Children, their golden cups overflowing with candy, knocked on the doors of houses along the street, shouting, "Give us candy or we'll be judged!" Their laughter echoed through every corner of Fontainebleau.

In addition, the establishment of the Furnessa Award adds a cinematic element to the Souls' Day celebrations. Every year, the announcement of the best director and best film always captivates the hearts of all residents of Fontainebleau.

"So, this is why the Water God visited our shop at dawn?"

Mu Feng put down the piping bag in his hand and asked a question with a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Sleeping at 3 AM and waking up at 5 AM, even the King of Hell praises her good health. No wonder she's Fufu; her time management is comparable to a college student who was giving up on exams in her previous life, basically following a Schrödinger's cat-like schedule.

It is well known that staying up late is harmful to your health, so staying up all night is a worthwhile option!

When Frynn knocked on the coffee shop door in the early morning, she gave a "heh heh" look, just like a certain Mondstadt wind god, and then righteously put her hands on her hips and retorted:

"Ahem... As your god, I have a duty to inspect the preparations for the Thousand Spirits Festival and ensure that my subjects have the best possible festival experience."

If someone goes out at night to feed the cats and relax, and then gets hungry and wants to go to a coffee shop for food, they'll be laughed at for five hundred years!

This is why Mu Feng worked tirelessly through the night to prepare the desserts for the Thousand Spirits Festival. In the past, poor Fu Fu would have been turned away when the desserts were freshly made.

Mu Feng gave her a look that said, "Guess if I believe you?" and helplessly served a small cake to the Water Goddess to Funina, who looked like she was about to cry if she didn't get to eat the cake.

The opera cake doesn't actually have an opera house, and the cake dedicated to the water god isn't actually dedicated to the water god in the true sense, which makes perfect sense, right?

Taking advantage of the moment Mu Feng turned around, Funina shyly stuck out her tongue, then her eyes lit up as she forked a small piece of cake and began to enjoy it.

The aromas of coffee and almonds blend with the smooth, lingering aftertaste of chocolate, complementing the creamy texture of the mille-feuille cake. Each flavor unfolds in turn without interfering with the others, creating a dramatic and captivating experience.

Funina squinted her eyes happily, savoring the rich, sweet aroma dancing on her taste buds, and her tense body involuntarily relaxed slightly.

Desserts are indeed the best way to relax... especially after frequent performances.

Yes, the performance has no end.

The performance has been underway ever since she accepted the task of playing the water goddess from her reflection in the mirror.

A grand performance, the entire Fontaine is her stage, all the creatures of Teyvat are her audience, and the place where countless spotlights converge is her location.

She must portray the perfect image of a water goddess without the slightest flaw, until the grand judgment promised by her reflection in the mirror arrives.

Only in this way can everyone in Fontaine survive that terrible prophecy.

Without companions, without guidance, and even the time for the curtain call was uncertain.

This is destined to be an endless solo dance.

Only when enjoying desserts from Maple Dew Cafe can Funina feel a taste of happiness, allowing her to indulge in it and enjoy a moment of peace.

However, the newly arrived Supreme Judge Navelette seemed to have keenly sensed something amiss, which is why Funina decided to go out late at night to feed the cats and clear her head.

Shaking her cute jellyfish-shaped head, Funina temporarily cleared her mind of her troubles and focused on the delicious dessert in front of her.

Only small cakes should not be missed!

As the last bite of cake disappeared from the plate, Funina couldn't help but show a regretful expression. But the shy Funina didn't want to bother her any longer, so she straightened her slightly disheveled skirt, got up, and said goodbye.

Mu Feng had already noticed Fu Ningna's absent-minded expression. Knowing the reason, Mu Feng silently picked up a bag of Thousand Spirit Mousse and handed it to Fu Ningna, who was about to leave.

"Is it for me?" Funina blinked her clear heterochromatic eyes and asked with some surprise.

"Yes, the performance must have been very tiring."

Funina tilted her head in confusion, but still happily accepted the paper bag containing the Thousand Spirit Mousse.

"Thank you very much for your gift, my people. May justice be with you."

It seems she's quite concerned about herself as the water goddess; her job is definitely going well.

But... with so much Thousand Spirit Mousse, I'll have to lose weight again...

With a happy kind of trouble, Funina walked towards Mumang Palace with unusually light steps.

Behind her, Mu Feng sighed softly, turned around with a complicated expression, and went back to the coffee shop.

……

"Brother Mufeng, over here!"

Inside the Opiclie Opera House, Ebel stood in a relatively open area, tiptoeing and waving her small round hands, calling to Mufeng and Xiaomeilushin who were lagging behind.

Caroline, Sedna, Ofini, and Chiara, along with a group of little Melusians from the Shadow Chaser's Court, escorted Mu Feng toward the main booth. The little Melusians, attending the Thousand Spirits Festival for the first time, seemed very excited, frequently glancing curiously at the surrounding booths with longing expressions.

Mu Feng temporarily took on the role of a human handbag machine, buying whatever the little ones wanted without hesitation. He couldn't help it; having just secured a million-dollar order, he was just indulging in whatever he pleased.

The surrounding crowd warily moved away upon seeing the Melusens, creating a gap in the center of the stands. Mu Feng, unfazed, pulled the little Melusens along and unconcernedly took the best seats with the best view.

The little ones were initially a bit sad and awkward, but after Mu Feng promptly changed the subject with a few jokes, they gradually forgot about the minor unpleasantness.

As the lights dimmed and the curtain rose, the host, dressed in an exquisite Pure Water Knight outfit, slowly walked to the center of the stage and greeted the audience filling the opera house.

"Brother Mufeng, it's about to start!" Aibel pointed her little round finger at the stage and excitedly tugged at Mufeng's sleeve.

Mu Feng handed the milk tea he brought from the coffee shop to Caroline, who was sitting to the side. The little girl affectionately hugged Mu Feng's arm, rested her head on his shoulder, and began to sip the tea.

After casually touching Aibel's little ears, Mu Feng distributed the desserts he brought to the little Meilushin girls around him, and then turned his attention to the center of the exhibition stand.
