The cemetery in Baisong Town, Bailu District, on the evening of the second day.

Mu Feng followed Navia, with Miles and Silver on either side, all in silence.

Near the desolate outskirts, the vague outline of the cemetery could already be seen in the distance, and at this moment, a figure was already standing in front of Kares's tombstone.

"Lord Vilette?"

Navia snapped out of her slump and asked questions with a mixture of confusion and ambiguity.

After all, the verdict at the time was approved by the Supreme Court before it could take effect.

Navelette put down the bouquet in front of the tombstone, turned around, and nodded to the crowd.

"Miss Navia, Mr. Mufeng, good evening."

"I'm sorry about Mr. Carles' case."

"As you can see, in accordance with human emotional expression, I think I should come here to offer my apologies."

Navelette bowed slightly to Navia and calmly admitted her mistake.

"Thank you... Mr. Navelette."

Navia's blue eyes flashed with a complex light as she let out a deep sigh.

Navelette nodded slightly, then hurriedly turned to take her leave and returned to Fontainebleau to handle official business.

"Dad."

"I didn't let you down, did I..."

Navia placed a bouquet of flowers in front of Kares' grave, hesitated for a moment, but couldn't say a word, two lines of tears sliding down her cheeks.

"Boss, I saw it."

"The young lady has not disappointed you."

"She will become a qualified president of the Rose Society..."

Miles stepped forward, placed his right hand on his chest, and bowed his head deeply.

Silver put on his sunglasses, stared silently at Carles' tombstone.

“Your father will be proud of you, Navia.”

Mu Feng handed over a handkerchief and whispered words of comfort.

"Similarly, you should also be proud of Kares."

"He was a great father."

Tick, tick.

It's raining.

A light drizzle began to fall, blurring the distance. Navia lifted her teary eyes and seemed to see Kares smiling kindly at her in the distance, just like when she was a child.

Well done, Navia.

"Tick."

Raindrops pattered on the delicate petals, splashing up a spray of water that refracted into a dazzling array of colors.

……

Three days later, at the Opiclie Opera House, "Daughter of Water" premiered.

"Has she arrived?" "Why hasn't she come yet?"

The people, with unfriendly expressions, kept urging him on.

"She won't come!"

The young lovers screamed, as if refuting the villagers, or perhaps comforting themselves.

"Do not."

"She is coming."

The village chief tapped his cane, and his dark, sunken pupils flickered with a light like will-o'-the-wisps.

Aurelia, dressed in a sky-blue dress, slowly made her way onto the stage, her graceful steps leading to a light and elegant dance.

Life chases the murmuring stream~

Wildfires ignite, and malice breeds.

"To be human means to bury secrets, experience pain, and live with loneliness."

Even so, are you still willing?

The girl transformed into a clear spring, gradually flowing across every piece of parched land.

"My...wish?"

"I will always be here."

"Gazing upon this beautiful world..."

As the music faded and the lights dimmed, the elegant curtain fell, and the young girl, perched atop the cliff, slowly looked up, seemingly lost in thought.

In the sky, descending along with the falling confetti, was a water elemental eye gleaming with a gentle light.

The gentle light of the water illuminated the opera house, reflecting Aurelia's innocent and holy face.

Even if it means burying secrets, enduring pain, and being accompanied by loneliness, would you be willing?

"I am willing."

"I love them."

……

The performance was an unprecedented success.

The captivating music, the actors' superb performances, and especially the moment when the Eye of God descended, felt like a divine recognition and blessing upon them.

As for what Fufu herself is thinking, we dare not say, nor dare we ask.

Invitations poured in like snowflakes, and the struggling troupe was revitalized overnight.

"The performance was a great success, wasn't it, Aurelia?"

Mu Feng arrived backstage and congratulated Aurelia, who was tidying up props.

Upon seeing Mu Feng's arrival, Aurelia showed a delighted expression and quickly welcomed him into the theater troupe.

Inside the theater troupe, a harmonious and joyful scene unfolded.

The chubby Lauwick was struggling to take off the Water Sprite's costume, while Dilfi grumbled helplessly on the side, but his hands never stopped helping.

Verman and Poirot were arguing quietly, but they couldn't hide the excited smiles on their faces.

Biro and Eran leaned against each other, enjoying the hard-won ease and tranquility.

"so good……"

Aurelius watched all this from afar, her arms clasped to her chest, her eyes filled with tenderness.

"It will get better and better."

Mu Feng smiled and said with some emotion.

"The 100,000 Mora that sponsored this performance, was it donated by you, Mufeng?"

Aurelia gazed at Mu Feng's profile and suddenly asked softly, though her tone was full of certainty.

Mu Feng scratched the back of his head, revealing a smirk that seemed to suggest he was trying to get away with it: "Is it that obvious?"

Aurelia smiled too, gazing at the shimmering Eye of God in her hand, and murmured:

"Mu Feng, you really are a very gentle person."

He saved his own life, and he saved the troupe's life.

"Brother Mufeng!"

Clancy, with her silver hair, ran over and clumsily bumped into Mu Feng's arms.

After joining the theater troupe, Cressy, who had washed and cleaned herself, no longer looked pitiful. Although there were still some signs of illness on her tender face, her complexion had become much rosier.

Mu Feng picked up the silver-haired little girl, affectionately pinched her cheek, and stuffed a box of cookies into her arms.

"Cressy, you're recovering quite well."

Kresh had curved eyebrows and bright, sparkling eyes that seemed to hold the sun, moon, and stars.

"Sister Siegwen is taking good care of Cressy, Brother Mufeng, you don't need to worry."

"Right now, all Cressy wants is to grow up quickly, at least to become someone like her sister Aurelia."

Aurelia chuckled and pinched Cressy's cheek, deliberately making a face as if to scare a child: "Cressy! Come on, tell me what 'at least' means?"

Clare stuck out her tongue and cowered behind Mu Feng, making funny faces.

Mu Feng stroked Clancy's little head, wondering with a mischievous grin whether little Clancy would one day actually obtain a Geo Eye.

After all, everyone in Liyue knows that the Emperor is a fan of white-haired characters.

But that's a thing of the future.

All in all, things are going pretty well so far, aren't they?

Mu Feng smiled and looked up at the distant blue sky, where several white gulls were soaring freely.
