Chapter 110

"We're saved, we're saved! Fontaine wasn't swallowed by the flood; we didn't dissolve in the sea."

"The Hydro Archon, my lord, saved Fontaine; she saved us."

"The Hydro Archon! The Hydro Archon!"

"..."

Klee: "It's over. End it quickly; please, stop showing the scenes that come next."

Amber: "What should we do? Furina will surely go looking for Mr. Su Bai when she returns."

Lisa: "Sigh..."

Jean: "I wonder if Furina can endure it."

Zhong Li: "That feeling of excitement, of hearts filled with beautiful fantasies, only to be dashed..."

Hu Tao: "Consultant, Prince, what are you suddenly drawing your blade for?"

Zhong Li: "My apologies; I was merely thinking with universal reason... Fortunately, this happened in a past life... In this life, we can simply cherish it well..."

Osial: "So, in this life, you intend to release me?"

Azhdaha: 557 "Release me or not, you must wait your turn in line. Morax, let us discuss releasing me; if any issues arise, Su Ye will intervene."

Su Bai: "Please, let no issues arise; I have no desire to intervene."

Scylla: "Is Mr. Su Bai afraid of trouble?"

Su Bai: "Not exactly; I just fear that once I act, it won't be a matter of sealing, but of truly killing the opponent, which would look unsightly."

Dainsleif: "....."

Lumine: "Su Bai, you are dying again in your past life, and you feel no pain? No, you must cry with me for a while."

Su Bai: "....."

The Primordial Sea waters surrounding Fontaine have vanished.

The prophecy that plagued the hearts of the people of Fontaine has ended forever.

The people of Fontaine are about to welcome a brand-new future.

After the flood receded, the people of Fontaine kept shouting Furina's name.

There is only one Hydro Archon of Fontaine, and that is Furina de Fontaine.

Yet, the present-day Furina has neither the time nor the mood to enjoy the enthusiasm of the people of Fontaine toward her.

She hurriedly arrived at the Opera House.

Standing at the entrance, she lingered for a long time without pushing open the great doors of the Opera House.

But the secret joy on her delicate face betrayed her.

"Oh my, I never thought it would truly succeed."

"Should I go to Su Bai to claim some reward?"

"Asking for a reward should be no problem, such as sharing a meal together, or having him sit beside me and watch an opera with me properly."

As Furina thought and thought, her expression paused.

"No, no, what if that fellow says the power he gave me doesn't count?"

"But my performance was also outstanding; as he said, I filled the original trial with a reversal."

"In the current understanding of the people of Fontaine, I have once again become the Hydro Archon of Fontaine."

"My performance was equally praiseworthy; asking for a little favor is not excessive, surely it is not excessive."

"After all, I am the heroine."

Furina hesitated at the entrance for a long time.

Finally, she made up her mind.

What does it matter? After all, she is now the recognized Hydro Archon, my lord, of Fontaine.

Su Bai is the Pope of the Church.

Even if he can issue orders behind the scenes, in public, she can still use her identity as the Hydro Archon to "order" Su Bai to accompany her to watch the trial.

With the idea settled, Furina nodded in satisfaction.

She inwardly praised herself for being so clever, able to devise such a method of "kidnapping" Su Bai using her identity as the Hydro Archon.

She pushed open the great doors.

The moment she saw the figure.

Furina removed the hat from her hand and extended it toward the air.

The panic of being tried that she had felt before was completely gone.

Instead, she smiled confidently and said:

"Ta-da..."

"Sing for me! The adorable Hydro Archon in your eyes has returned victorious after repelling the flood."

Chapter 73: Youth Su Bai, Buries Furina de Fontaine Alive

In the past life, Furina's easy and cheerful entrance formed a stark contrast with the atmosphere of the scene.

Just as the Geo Archon, Prince, had said before.

When cherished hopes and visions vanish completely, the happier one was before, the greater the painful impact one will face.

The live broadcast room.

Clorinde: "Sigh, my lord Furina is still looking forward to a sweet date with Mr. Su Bai, but..."

Xia Luodi: "Too cruel."

Arlecchino: "Is this reincarnation system really about to activate its indiscriminate killing mode? It seems it does not intend to let Furina go."

Lynette: "First the Hydro Archon Furina, then Mr. Su Bai the Pope, and now must it be Lady Furina's turn?"

Venti: "Give the Reincarnation System a blade, and it will slaughter everyone to the last man. One blade, not a single piece of armor left."

Dvalin: "Barbatos, where did you get all these lines?"

Kamisato Ayaka: "I have a question. Couldn't Mr. Su Bai have given Furina a little less power? Couldn't the two of them have balanced it out?"

Zhong Li: "Such a thing is hard to achieve. Giving her too little power would fail to reflect Furina's savior stance. If problems arose, it would only backfire."

Scara: "Moreover, exactly how much Furina herself could unleash, Mr. Su Bai likely had no hundred percent certainty. So he simply forced the use of overwhelming power to suppress the flood."

Yae Miko: "I do not think so. I lean more toward the idea that the man wanted Furina to become the true Hydro Archon in people's minds, so she would never again need to live in fear of any sudden incident. That must be his true heart."

Paimon: "Hmm, Miko's explanation makes more sense. Lumine and I know how many times Furina was terrified in this life. Every time she had to admit defeat and back down because she lacked power. Su Bai from the previous life must have been heartbroken."

Kujou Sara: "Teyvat may seem peaceful, but in the end, power is supreme. Otherwise..."

After all, it is a world possessing gods.

No need to say more about the rest; just imagine the Archon War of the past, and it explains everything.

Also, if Lumine and Aether's strength had surpassed the Heavenly Principles Sustainer back then, the two siblings would not have been trapped in Teyvat.

Nilou: "You all watch first. I'll turn off the viewing function for now. When there are any developments, tell me the general idea."

Amber: "I've turned mine off too. Klee, keep an eye on things for me."

Klee: "Amber, you..."

Eula: "Sigh, I've never been this irritable. Mr. Su Bai, can I hold this grudge against you?"

Su Bai: "Huh?"

Eula: "At first, I always thought you would take Furina with you to govern the flood. Who would have thought you gave the power to her, leaving yourself to face death? I am very angry."

Su Bai: "....."

【At the Opera House, the few people on stage saw Furina return, yet they appeared unmoved.】

【Furina's expression froze, looking slightly awkward.】

【But she paid no attention to these things; her gaze had already shifted, searching for Su Bai's figure.】

【"Ahem..."】

【She did not see Su Bai.】

【Furina felt a bit disappointed. She had originally wanted him to praise her, but the person was not even present.】

【However, quickly, Furina understood.】

【Back then, the two of them had completed everything within the consciousness space.】

【All these matters, including the fact that she was Furina's substitute, were known only to the two of them.】

【Presumably, even if Su Bai truly wanted to give her praise, he could not do so in front of this crowd.】
