Chapter 367: Because the Heavenly Principles Dislike It

【The Tsaritsa: "Arlecchino indeed has a connection with the Doctor; she seems to have been used as an experimental subject by the Doctor back then."

"I even suspect that the experiments on her might be related to the Abyss."

Mu Yang: "That is not the case. I haven't sensed any Abyssal aura on Arlecchino. I am quite authoritative regarding Abyssal aura; if there really were any, I would definitely be able to react immediately."

The Tsaritsa: "Looking at it this way, it should just be the remnants of an Archon."

"However, Arlecchino must have used some special means; otherwise, just using the remnants of an Archon normally wouldn't make her this strong."

Shenhe: "Actually, not necessarily. If one has the remnants of an Archon in their body, under special circumstances, they can borrow a portion of the Archon's power, it's just that the consequences might be a bit severe."

Regarding the understanding of the remnants of an Archon, perhaps even the Seven Archons don't know as much as Shenhe, and only Madame Ping knows more than Shenhe.

Madame Ping: "This indeed requires paying a not-insignificant price..."

The Tsaritsa: "Is that so!? It seems Arlecchino's situation is not very good. However, with the help of my authority, she should be able to hold on for a few more years."

"I didn't expect that she would betray me without hesitation."

At this moment, the Tsaritsa was also feeling somewhat uncomfortable. The Jester betraying her—the current Tsaritsa could understand that.

After all, Pierro is inherently ambitious, and she was indeed a bit extreme and paranoid back then to achieve her goals.

These people from Khaenri'ah are indeed not trustworthy; those fellows fell into the Abyss long ago for the sake of revenge.

Thinking about it now, she should have cut the weeds and dug up the roots.

If there were a chance to start over, the Tsaritsa wouldn't mind wiping out Pierro early.

But now, even Arlecchino wants to betray her, which makes the Tsaritsa feel somewhat helpless. What kind of people are her Fatui, anyway?

Mu Yang: "After all, it seems the Fatui really have no future."

"She is a smart person. I am having her lurk within the Fatui now, acting as a double agent."

The Tsaritsa: "..."

It has always been the Fatui infiltrating other nations, but now they are being infiltrated by Mu Yang. Even the Tsaritsa doesn't know how to complain about this.

Are her Fatui really that rotten?

Mu Yang: "This way, I can let Arlecchino help you resolve the matter of the Jester and the others."

"At that time, we can also see if Arlecchino is truly loyal to me. If she doesn't even dare to deal with the Jester, then how is she fit to be my subordinate?"

Yelan: "For someone like Arlecchino, benefits might be the most important thing. I just didn't expect that she would still care about Fontaine and want to invite you to resolve Fontaine's flood problem."

If we look at it this way, Arlecchino is indeed a patriotic person."

Mu Yang: "Who knows?"

Furina: "My mood is complicated... But is Furina really doing such a poor job as a god?"

"Although I could completely say that what Furina does has nothing to do with me, Furina's actions were all done under my indulgence. Perhaps I have given everyone the feeling that the Hydro Archon is unreliable over these years."

Neuvillette: "Furina's performance is actually passable. She might be a bit naive in some aspects, but her heart is kind. The problem might be that there are too many historical issues left over; the law needs to be perfected, and at the same time, we need to ensure the seriousness and fairness of the law. This requires us to slowly perfect it in the future."

Furina: "Sigh, I still have to rely on you. I am still purifying the pollution of the Abyss."

"Fortunately, there is hope for the future."

Mu Yang: "You can start preparing for Fontaine's affairs. If you have no way to resolve them by then, I will have Arlecchino raid and exterminate most of the problematic nobles in Fontaine, which can be considered Arlecchino's pledge of allegiance to me."

Neuvillette: "..."

Furina: "..."

Seeing Seeing Keqing: "..."

Navia: "..."

This is indeed a familiar taste!

Mu Yang's attitude toward the nobility is still as poor as ever; no matter which nation it is, Mu Yang wants to take action against them.

Well, they also admit that most of these nobles are indeed parasites now, but there are quite a few people here who were born as nobles themselves, which makes their expressions somewhat subtle.

Jean, Barbara, Diluc, Eula, Seeing Seeing Keqing, Kamisato Ayaka, Kamisato Ayato—these people are all like that.

Fortunately, their usual performance is quite good; not only have they not been targeted by Mu Yang, but many have even become Mu Yang's women...

At this moment, in the hearts of Jean and the others, some small thoughts even arose; perhaps they also need to strike at the noble forces within their respective nations.

Some minor problems that could have been turned a blind eye to now need to be faced seriously. No way, who told them that Mu Yang, this Heavenly Principle, dislikes these nobles?

If you have a problem, go find the Heavenly Principles!

Perhaps the entire Teyvat continent does not need the existence of a so-called noble class!

Because, the Heavenly Principles dislike it!"

After Mu Yang finished the last piece of foie gras in front of him, he picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth and smiled at Navia: "Thank you for the treat."

He did not compete with Navia to pay the bill.

A little Mora meant nothing to Mu Yang, and while it might be a bit substantial for Navia, it was not something she couldn't bear.

But if he didn't let Navia treat him, that would be a sign of disrespect to her.

At the very least, this small gesture preserved Navia's dignity.

"Is there anywhere else you'd like to stroll around next?" Navia asked Mu Yang.

She mentally went through the many scenic spots in Fontaine.

It seemed there really wasn't any special place worth taking Mu Yang to visit specifically.

"Not for the moment." Mu Yang thought for a moment and shook his head slightly.

He had transmigrated quite early, so his understanding of the people of Fontaine was not very deep.

It seemed the three characters featured in the 4. banner were the Lyney trio, and they were all Fatui...

This left Mu Yang not knowing how to complain. Usually, one or two Fatui appearing meant being disgusted once every major version, but when it came to Fontaine...

Well, it seems Lyney isn't that annoying for the time being, and as for Lynette...

Hmm, she is quite popular!

Even when Lyney and Lynette joined the Fatui, Mu Yang had once felt there was a conspiracy; after all, everyone likes conspiracy theories.

It is indeed hard to be a good person these days.

And Arlecchino's act of saving Lynette also seems a bit too coincidental.

At least in terms of timing, it is so.

Even if this matter wasn't plotted by Arlecchino, Arlecchino definitely knew about it beforehand; otherwise, Arlecchino wouldn't have appeared so suddenly.

Mu Yang believes that Lyney and the others should also know this; perhaps Arlecchino herself didn't even deny this matter.

After all, Lyney and the others are smart people themselves; once trust is gone, it will only lead to bad things.

Clearly, Lyney and the others still trust Arlecchino, and there is likely no conspiracy theory to this matter.

Moreover, based on Mu Yang's understanding of Fontaine, the situation here is indeed similar to Mondstadt hundreds of years ago.

"I plan to head back first." Mu Yang paused and continued, "Beneath the shiny and glamorous surface of Fontaine, there hides too much darkness. I hope that the next time I come to Fontaine, I can see a beautiful Fontaine."

"You are excellent, yet still a bit immature. I look forward to seeing you become even more beautiful the next time we meet."

This...

Navia was a bit dumbfounded. Does Mu Yang think so highly of her?

Thinking about it, it makes sense. The people in the chat group seem to be either gods or immortals, and even if they are neither, they are big figures in some nations. And she, this so-called young lady of the Spina di Rosula, seems to be nothing in front of these people.

The Spina di Rosula is just a civilian organization, and furthermore, a declining civilian organization.

Even Navia didn't have much confidence in herself.

But since Mu Yang said so, there must be some trait she hasn't even noticed herself that makes Mu Yang look at her differently, even qualifying her to treat Mu Yang to a meal.

Perhaps she needs to conduct a thorough self-examination later to see what strengths she has that could make Mu Yang value her.

After thinking for a while, Navia looked at Mu Yang full of anticipation and asked, "Mr. Mu Yang, after I become excellent enough, can I follow in your footsteps?"

In Navia's view, Mu Yang is not only her benefactor but will also become Fontaine's benefactor; such an existence is worth her life to follow.

Moreover, in Mu Yang, Navia also saw the possibility of making Fontaine, and even the Teyvat continent, a better place!

To build such a Fontaine, Navia would be willing even to die.

"Uh..." Seeing Navia like this, Mu Yang was also stunned for a moment.

He knew that what Navia said didn't have any messy meanings, nor did she have any intention of accompanying him in that way.

She just wanted to follow him, to follow Mu Yang as a subordinate.

But why did he think wrongly after hearing Navia's words?

Have I been too indulgent lately?

No, I must go back to Does Does Liyue to decompress. I'll go find Hearing Hearing Ningguang later. That special fox tail I had Hearing Hearing Ningguang customize a while ago should be finished by now, right?

Her temperament should suit it very well.
