Genshin Impact: Rise of the Desert

Ivan had his people take him back to the hotel, and then accompanied Funina on the cruise ship to the Moman Palace.

Ivan looked up at the sky and suddenly remembered what the chieftain of the Blade Tribe, Laka, had told him.

"The desert sky is real, and everyone's destiny can be changed, but outside the desert, an unimaginable price must be paid."

Ivan discovered that the sky in Fontainebleau was the same as the sky in the Sumeru Rainforest, as if a sticker had been pasted on it.

Seeing Ivan staring motionless at the sky, Funina couldn't help but poke his waist: "Ivan, what are you looking at?"

"The starry sky in Fontainebleau is different from the starry sky in the desert."

"What's the difference?"

"The starry sky in the desert moves."

"real or fake?"

"If you don't believe me, come and see for yourself in the desert."

"I will definitely go in a while."

The flood predicted by Fontaine is coming. Let's see what that woman does then. If she survives, she absolutely must go to the desert...

After they cried together, their relationship quickly grew closer, and they became acquainted in a way that could be described as a life-or-death bond.

The two seemed to have endless topics to talk about along the way. Funina was clearly sleepy, but she still forced herself to keep talking to Ivan.

Until, when Funina was listening to Ivan talk about his flock of sheep, Funina tilted her head and leaned on Ivan's shoulder.

Ivan felt a strange sensation on his shoulder and turned his head slightly to see Funina leaning on his shoulder. Her tall ahoge (cowlick) stuck into her nostril as Ivan turned his head.

Suppressing the urge to sneeze, he turned around, got out of the car, and picked up Funina around the waist.

At that moment, Ivan keenly sensed that Funina's heartbeat quickened and her breathing became erratic.

She woke up, but wouldn't go downstairs.

Ivan's lips curled up. A god playing hard to get with a mortal?

The Immortal Venerable has lived for five hundred years and his calculations are always accurate. You, the Water God, have lived for five hundred years as if you've lived in vain.

Fortunately, the stalls in Fontaine had already closed, so there were relatively few people, and Ivan was holding her tightly, so no one could see Funina.

However, it's also possible that some people noticed but didn't say anything.

Just as they were about to enter the Momang Palace, Ivan was figuring out how to fool the guards when Funina woke up.

"Oh dear, how did I end up on you?" Furnessa blushed and jumped out of Ivan's arms. "You didn't take advantage of me, did you?"

"Got it. I fucked you as soon as I got off the ship. Melousin recorded it." Ivan yawned and replied nonchalantly.

"Courageous!"

Funina quickly pinched Ivan's soft waist, while Ivan grabbed Funina's ahoge (cowlick).

"Don't pull my hair!" Funina was very concerned about the tuft of hair that she used the best conditioner on every morning, and she quickly grabbed Ivan's hand.

Taking advantage of the moment, Ivan bypassed the guards of the Moman Palace and ran inside.

"Ivan! You stop right there!" Funina's face turned red with anger, and she quickly chased after him inside.

The guards of Mo Mang Palace stared wide-eyed and clutched their chests.

"The god I worship is actually playing around with a man, and a foreigner at that! I can only stand guard at the door and can't even go in, I can't even take a peek..."

"What a disgrace!"

.........

The two joked and played along the way until they arrived outside Villette's office. They glanced at each other's disheveled clothes, straightened themselves, caught their breath, and then pushed the door open to go inside.

Navelette's office was soundproof, so you couldn't hear anything from the outside. As soon as the door was opened, a slightly angry voice came from inside.

"Navilet, you're really living it up! Inazuma's water, Liyue's crystal goblet, Fontaine's chair. Three great nations serving you alone? Is this what you get paid for with the people's taxes? When are you going to settle things with my son?! I can't sleep a wink until that Abyss Apostle is dead!"

Ivan saw three elegantly dressed men standing in front of Navelette, who was calmly writing official documents.

It's worth mentioning that only one person was facing off against Navelette; the other two... were just standing there like elementary school kids being punished.

The man who was facing off against Navelette turned around angrily, saw Funina, was taken aback, bowed, and then looked at Ivan.

Ivan's clothes were damaged in the battle, and he was now wearing a uniform that had been taken from a member of the special patrol team. The man was furious when he saw him: "Who are you? How dare you break into the Grand Inquisitor's office?"

Navilette said quietly, "He is the man who traveled with your son, Ivanliulik."

At this moment, the elementary school student who was being punished raised his head, and the person who had been full of hostility suddenly became serious.

He patted his clothes and bowed slightly, saying, "Aidan de Rouden, it's an honor to meet you, sir."

Ivan paused, then heard the surname 'Soft Lamp'. Ivan shook his hand: "Mr. Willie's conduct was truly worthy of the name of a gentleman, it's just a pity..."

Aidan waved his hand: "He died a worthy death, setting an example by protecting the weak, and dying with noble honor. The Softlight family will be proud of him."

The other two also stepped forward to shake hands with Ivan.

"Sean de White".

"Daniel de Cangjing".

"Ivan Rurik".

Aidan turned to Villette, his tone softening this time: "Very well, I won't count on you. I beg Mr. Rurik to help me capture that wretched Abyss Apostle, damn it!"

Navelette carefully put away the document and said, "Mr. Rurik is currently employed to protect Ms. Funina and is being sued by Mr. Marcellus. The trial is scheduled for noon tomorrow."

Just as Aidan was about to say something more, the office door was pushed open again.

One after another, people dressed in gorgeous clothes and carrying silver-plated canes walked in.

They ignored everyone and immediately started to belittle Navelette.

“The Abyss Apostles have killed nearly a hundred people in the past few days. Vilette, look at what you’ve done!”

"All you do all day is deal with government affairs, government affairs! What the hell? I have to report to you every time I come up with a policy? Who the hell do you think you are?"

"Navilet, the Abyss Apostles' continuous killings demonstrate that you cannot guarantee the safety of Fontaine under your leadership. Tell me, what should we do?"

At this moment, Aidan had already led Daniel and Sean aside and came to Ivan, whispering something.

"Well, apart from Mello Peter, all the dukes of Fontaine are here. Hehe, they are all pure-blooded. I hope you won't laugh at me."

【Pure bloodline】is easy to understand. Take Ivan's uncle, Galga Borjigin, for example. His lower body was practically useless and he wasn't very bright. These nobles, on the other hand, are decisive and efficient, and they seem quite energetic.

They all spoke like machine guns, belittling Navelette and implying that they wanted her to resign.

Well, they're putting on a show of forcing a resignation right in front of me, a desert dweller?

Seeing Aidan and the other two watching the spectacle with glee, Ivan figured this coup attempt was just a joke.

Just then, someone got carried away with their insults and said something.

"Naviette! Who do you think you are? You're nothing but Frinina's dog!"

Frynn, whose smile had been fading ever since the dukes entered the room, finally snapped.

"You bastard! And whose dog are you?!"
