Chapter 634
Neuvillette was silent for a moment and then said: "She was scared unconscious by Master Chen."
Scared unconscious?
Lumine looked at Paimon in her arms and then turned to look at Gu Chen, who was sipping fruit juice, feeling a bit confused.
Lumine knew Paimon's origin was very mysterious, but Lumine had never thought too much about it; after all, the days this little guy spent traveling with her were quite good.
Thinking carefully, Paimon hadn't shown any abnormalities along the way, so why was she scared unconscious today as soon as she saw a person?
Calling him "Father God"?
Lumine pondered for a moment; this title... should mean father.
But looking at Gu Chen's denial, the relationship between Paimon and him was very subtle.
Seeing that Lumine still had many doubts, Neuvillette said: "Feel free to ask if you have any questions."
Hearing this, Lumine didn't stand on ceremony and immediately asked: "What is this gentleman's identity?"
Neuvillette's expression became respectful, and he said softly: "Great Venerable of the Universe, Source of All Laws, Master of Heaven and Earth."
The three adjectives left Lumine very stunned.
Even for a god, like the Geo Archon of Liyue, there was absolutely no such high-end title. Just hearing it made one feel that the other party was noble beyond words.
Seeing Lumine stunned, Neuvillette continued: "Actually, you wouldn't understand even if I told you too much. It's not to belittle you, but... even if I explain it clearly, it's like a frog in a well peeking at the moon; shallow cognition cannot see the whole picture."
Saying this, Neuvillette shook his head and then said: "You just need to treat Master Chen as the root of all living things in heaven and earth. Do you still have any doubts now?"
The words seemed to carry a lot of condescending arrogance, but Lumine felt that what the other party said should be the truth. She wasn't angry, but asked calmly: "So, Paimon is...?"
"She seems to be the reincarnation of some existence, and before reincarnation, she should have had quite a bit of contact with Master Chen. This should be the source of 'Father God'."
After hearing Neuvillette's answer, Lumine felt complicated.
At this moment, Paimon in her arms made a faint sound, seeming to be about to wake up.
She slowly opened her eyes, her eyes like the starry sky filled with confusion.
She looked at Lumine and felt relieved, but when she turned her head, she saw Gu Chen leaning over.
After making eye contact with the golden pupils, Paimon's mouth twitched, and she peacefully closed her eyes again.
Lumine, who hadn't had time to care about Paimon's condition, looked at Gu Chen speechlessly.
"Sorry."
Gu Chen shook his head and said: "Why does she seem so afraid of me?"
Neuvillette pondered for two seconds and said: "She likely has quite a bit of relationship with the usurping king in the high heavens... The usurper seized the authority and status of the ancient dragons, and now seeing you again, I imagine there is a sense of guilt and fear of a thief seeing the master?"
Focalors nodded gently upon hearing this: "That's a good description!"
Lumine slowly came to her senses.
In that case, Paimon has a relationship with the gods on Celestia?
Lumine felt she knew more clues, but she still lacked key evidence and couldn't connect all the clues into a line.
While waiting for Paimon to wake up, Lumine was answering questions with Neuvillette.
Lumine felt good after asking some questions and getting answers.
Focalors took the opportunity to ask about many interesting things in other countries.
Time passed gradually in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
【Shikanoin Heizou】: Let's make a hypothesis: if Phanes is also a god evolved from the holy blood of the Primordial True King, then Phanes' actions are equivalent to coming to this world and seizing the authority and seat of his brother... and Phanes created four glowing shadows, one of which is likely the Time Archon 【Istaroth】, and the other three are very mysterious. Plus the attire of the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, do you think it's possible that the miniature version of the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles is Paimon? Or rather, if Paimon grows up to her current appearance and puts on the Sustainer's attire... isn't this the same person?!
【Albedo】: Teyvat people need external magic organs to use elemental power. I won't mention those achieved through some technology for now; normal use must rely on a Vision or Delusion... I have been thinking for a long time whether the Traveler's external magic organ is Paimon. (Albedo: Thinking)
【Tartaglia】: This little thing hides so many secrets?! Is it possible that she is a spy planted by the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles next to the Traveler? (Tartaglia: Shocked)
【Xingqiu】: Wait! This statement is a bit eerie but also quite reasonable! You know, the Traveler and her brother were blocked by the Sustainer at the very beginning. Someone who can trade two moves with the Sustainer definitely isn't simple... And the Sustainer herself said she was in a semi-crippled state, likely to fall as time goes on. So the Traveler's existence became a variable in Teyvat, and it's very reasonable to plant a spy to watch her movements at any time! (Suddenly enlightened)
【Furina】: Oh! So that's how it is, I understand too! Thinking carefully, the labels on Paimon are really full.
【Kaeya】: Brothers, if you want to say that, I suddenly recall some terrifying details. Many times Paimon doesn't appear to be that simple. She always seems to make reasonable trouble at certain moments, and then the Traveler is in a new situation... (Pondering)
【Lumine】: Paimon died after hearing this! (Photo of Paimon lying peacefully in Lumine's arms)
【Sustainer of Heavenly Principles】: Happy.
【Paimon】: I didn't! I'm not! Can you guys stop framing a good person! (Nahida: Pointing fingers)
【Nahida】: Don't take it to heart. Anyway, no matter what mysterious identity you have, you are just a little housekeeper in Gu Fu~ (Pats head)
【Azhdaha】: Paimon won't be scared, right? Is the power of you guys chatting blindly so great? (Funny)
【Zhongli】: Generally speaking, you guys are doing it on purpose.
【Kaeya】: You're right, but this is very interesting! (Funny)
Gu Fu.
Paimon is holding milk tea and sipping it, not as nervous as everyone imagined.
"Are you really not afraid that we will kick you out of the house?"
Seeing her fearless appearance, Lumine rolled her eyes.
"Afraid of what?"
Paimon raised her little hand to scratch her head, then put her hands on her hips and said: "If their analysis is correct, even if I am Brother Gu's daughter, you have to spoil me!"
"That seems to be the logic." Raiden Ei thought seriously and nodded.
Sister Guizhong shook her head: "That's not the logic at all! She isn't the Paimon in this video, so the relationship definitely can't be calculated like that."
"Hehe."
Paimon's little face smiled brightly.
No matter how the relationship is calculated, her status in Gu Fu won't change anyway. She can't escape when she needs to be ordered around, and there's no shortage of time being spoiled.
Doesn't matter, give up.
Paimon floated to Nahida, who was closest to her, lay down, adjusted her posture comfortably, and then said: "You guys continue to analyze, I'll take a nap first!"
In the video.
In half a day, Lumine became quite familiar with Gu Chen and Focalors.
Lumine finally understood why the people of Fontaine were not afraid of the prophecy crisis.
Although she couldn't understand how powerful Gu Chen was, judging from the three adjectives from Neuvillette, it must be an unimaginable realm.
Lumine also relaxed, no longer worrying about the Fontaine friends she had met.
After happily finishing afternoon tea, Paimon still hadn't woken up. Lumine prepared to take her back to the Court of Fontaine to rest, so as not to scare her unconscious again when she saw Gu Chen after waking up.
Neuvillette also had many things to do in the Court of Fontaine, so he simply left with Lumine.
After the two walked far away, Lumine, who was holding Paimon, asked curiously: "Are Mr. Chen and Focalors a couple?"
"How can you tell?" Neuvillette raised an eyebrow.
"Shouldn't anyone be able to see it?" Lumine's expression was subtle.
Neuvillette paused his steps and sighed: "Unfortunately, it is not as you see."
"Why?" Lumine's face was full of gossip, and she was as curious as if a cat were scratching her heart.
Neuvillette said while walking: "The physical closeness is just caused by long-term habits in life... There may still be some distance in the heart; it may need some external force."
Lumine's eyes lit up, and she said with a look of "I understand very well": "You mean to leave it to me, right?"
Neuvillette was stunned, and after carefully examining Lumine for a moment, he said: "That's fine too."
Lumine said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll just find a time to talk to them privately. As long as they release the real thoughts from the depths of their hearts... it'll be easy!"
Neuvillette nodded.
【Keqing】: I finally know why I had a strange feeling. Sure enough, as soon as I think that Miss Lumine in reality is the main wife of Gu Fu, I feel that Miss Lumine in the video who is wholeheartedly preparing to match Mr. Gu Chen and Focalors is very strange!
【Kaeya】: As long as you can't describe your mood, then there is a word prepared for you—abstract!
【Keqing】: Mood is complicated. (Paimon: Peaceful)
【Paimon】: Who is saving this meme! (Keqing: Sulking)
【Gu Chen】: Me. (Paimon: Peaceful)
【Lumine】: Aren't you taking a nap? (Paimon died after hearing this)
【Paimon】: Oh, I woke up to watch "The Main Wife is Busy Matching the Emperor and Concubines until She's Like a Dog."
【Kaeya】: Good job!
【Azhdaha】: Paimon is so bold?! (Tartaglia: Shocked)
【Candace】: Hope she's okay. (Candace: Praying)
【Sister Guizhong】: Lumine was roasted; this is Paimon's great victory! (Venti: Celebrating)
【Hu Tao】: Lumine went to the kitchen and took a kitchen knife; she's going to do business with her own family! (Hu Tao: Smirking)
