But in the end, she held back.
Although it was somewhat frustrating, in order to uphold the laws of Fontainebleau, we had to cooperate to some extent.
As for why Fengdan's prophecy seemed to be saved, yet she still wanted to keep the exchange a secret, it wasn't because she and Jiang Qiao had any agreement... no, there was an agreement.
This agreement was originally made to avoid exposing the truth about the water god's falsehood, which would have led to the breach of the agreement with Fucarus.
But now that the pressure of the prophecy has decreased significantly, Miss Funina has become somewhat concerned about her image.
After all, you see.
Jiang Qiao has been acting as the Water Goddess so well lately. If the truth about the 'exchange' is exposed, wouldn't that mean that I, the real Fulina, have lost to Jiang Qiao, the fake 'Fulina'?
Miss Funina, who is so concerned about her reputation that she often suffers for it, could not accept this outcome. She had been the Water Goddess for so many years and had accumulated such a good reputation. If this were exposed and caused the people to gossip about things like, "I always feel that the fake Lady Funina is more powerful than the real Lady Funina," Funina probably wouldn't even dare to leave the Mo Mang Palace.
What a shame!
Therefore, even if she may not continue to be the water goddess in the future, Funina still intends to bring her experience as the 'Water Goddess Funina' to a perfect end.
Even if the process might not be so enjoyable, at least it's still quite prestigious, isn't it?
That way, I'll have something to brag about to others in the future.
Moreover, Funina is not actually that averse to her experience as the 'Water God' anymore.
After all, she discovered this while chatting with people in the chat group and people from Fontainebleau.
The identities of 'Water Goddess' and Queen of Fontainebleau are definitely a huge plus, and they might come in handy when needed later.
If I were to remove these titles, wouldn't I, as an ordinary person, be completely uncompetitive?
Of course, Funina understood that not everyone valued this kind of thing, but for someone like her who wasn't very confident, having something that sounded impressive gave her a boost of confidence, making her stand up straighter.
Moreover, Furnessa hadn't been to Mero Petersburg in a long time, and she was indeed interested in visiting it.
That sentence isn't even that long, is it?
But what really annoyed Furna was the fairy Ellie.
Upon hearing that they were going to Mero Petersburg, they actually ran away.
Not only was he branded as a fugitive from justice, but he also ended up all alone.
She had originally planned to take the fairy Ellie around and see if she could gather some useful information.
"Not cute at all!"
Recalling that innocent and adorable face, Funina puffed out her cheeks, looking sullen.
She actually left me alone to go to Sumeru to find that guy... Hmph, that little demon might as well just get lost in the Sumeru Desert for three days and three nights!
"...What's not cute?"
An innocent, childlike voice rang in my ears. Looking up, I saw a white-haired UFO wearing a strange dress and a crown, accompanied by a blonde girl in a white dress named Ying.
This little guy is called Paimon. He was supposedly a fellow inmate that Ying met when she came in. His crime was stealing the supplies that Fontaine sent to Mello Petersburg. At the scene of the incident, Miss Emergency Food was fast asleep with a round belly.
Then, somehow, I ended up hanging out with Ying.
Miss Resentful Seed was quite satisfied with this.
After all, ever since seeing the fairy Airi, Ying has longed for a flying creature just like her.
Now I have achieved my wish.
Although this Paimon seems a bit useless and clumsy, a far cry from the pink-haired one, Ying made do with it after comparing them.
"no!"
When Fu Ningna saw the appearance of the "Rivals" duo, she curled her lip and turned to leave.
Thanks to that pink floating spirit, her attitude towards Paimon was rather indifferent.
As for Ying... well, let's not even go there.
The moment that blond guy opened his mouth, it was as if she could see that guy in her mind.
Full of resentment, Fufu had no desire to chat with this pair of frenemy duo and silently went to fix screws.
"That's strange, he seems really angry." Paimon spread his hands, looking puzzled.
Ying also scratched her head:
"...Maybe he's just in a bad mood, after all, this is a prison."
She was initially quite happy to see 'Jiang Qiao' come in, thinking she might see 'Funingna' and that pink floating spirit, but there was only one...
...Never mind, let's go to that thing she mentioned first...What was it again? I think it was some kind of hat...
While Ying stroked her chin, pondering what Jiang Qiao had asked her to do.
It is located in the Pure Goodness Palace, far away in Sumeru.
Fukaros, who was chatting with Egolia while waiting for Jiang Qiao to return, was delighted to see her return.
"You're finally back!"
Because of the spiritual reasons, and because Jiang Qiao needed to avoid the forbidden knowledge on the Great Tree King contaminating Fukaros—which, while not unsolvable, would undoubtedly add a lot of trouble—Fukaros did not go to the World Tree with him.
Although Fukalos was unaware of the details, she obediently waited for the former to return.
However, she had already decided that once this guy came back, she would definitely give him a good scolding.
After all, as a pure water spirit, Fukaros had never seen the legendary World Tree.
Even in Egolia's memory, there was none.
But before Fukalos could even eagerly try to revive her, she instantly sensed something unusual.
—It smells like another woman!
Fukalos was absolutely certain, and smelled a vibrant, fresh grassy scent.
...Could it be?
In a bold vision, a badminton shuttlecock sitting on a duck appeared in the mental space.
Upon seeing the conspicuous and familiar badminton shuttlecock, Fukalos's lips twitched instantly.
Then, he glared fiercely at Jiang Qiao, and said with a forced smile:
"Jiang Qiao, shouldn't you explain this to me properly?"
Okay, okay, you brought me back another one after just one trip to the World Tree, right?
It's one thing to mess with other people's women, but what happened to the promise not to lay a hand on Little Lucky Grass King?!
Now that we have both witnesses and physical evidence, let's see what your crime should be!
Chapter 277 Miss 55kg's Sudden Attack
"Ugh...where am I? I feel so dizzy..."
The Great Tree King, clutching his head in disbelief, was stunned to see Fukaros and Jiang Qiao in the form of Funina.
"Huh? Two...two Fucaros?!"
"And this familiar feeling..."
"...Tree King?" A gentle voice broke the Tree King's surprise. Ergolia appeared first, looking at the former with some surprise.
"Agoria!?"
The Great Tree King was also stunned when he saw Egolia, and subconsciously said, "Weren't you already...?"
"Yes, thank you for your help."
"If it weren't for the myriad-species mother tree you planted back then, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to retain this sliver of consciousness."
“That is what I should do. After all, you have made great sacrifices for the people of Teyvat and Sumeru. I have no reason to let a foreign god die far from home.”
"Besides, it was just a small favor for me."
The conversation between the two old friends made Fukaros, who was glaring angrily at Jiang Qiao, suddenly realize what was happening and look at Miss Jie, the badminton player, with some surprise and disbelief.
"You're not the Little Lucky Grass King...you're the Great Charity Tree King?!"
"Yes."
"But you look like this..."
Fukalos looked at the tiny creature, whose appearance was exactly the same as Narcida's, and while somewhat puzzled, he began to examine it more closely—no longer just looking at its appearance, but looking at it from a spiritual perspective.
.....Um?!
Fukaros, initially just out of curiosity, followed the Great Tree King's gaze towards Jiang Qiao, and then...
The anger level spiked instantly!
Well, you two are getting so close, you're practically one person now, aren't you?
From a purely spiritual perspective, she herself was simply someone who would frequently get close to Jiang Qiao and then take the opportunity to have a kiss.
This already represents a de facto spiritual exchange.
