Chapter 40

"So, as long as one stands upright, one need not fear a crooked shadow. I don't think Lumine is the unreasonable sort."

The moment those words left his mouth.

Furina stopped in her tracks at once.

After a moment's thought, she decided Su Bai had a very good point.

Deep down, Furina was still hoping the Reincarnation story might have a part written for her.

After all, in any drama, it's the male and female leads' scenes that draw the most attention.

The moment their conversation ended.

A crisp voice rang out from the heavens once more.

【The First Reincarnation Story Has Ended.】

【Calculating Rewards...】

【Congratulations to Lumine for obtaining a reward.】

【Reward: Fusion of her seven elemental forces into one.】

【Congratulations to Su Bai for obtaining a reward.】

【Reward: A five-hundred-square-meter floating island.】

【Drawing the Lucky Winner List...】

【Congratulations to Venti for obtaining a reward.】

【Reward: One hundred barrels of fine wine.】

【Congratulations to Aether for obtaining a reward.】

【Reward: One hundred million Mora.】

【Past-life memories will be restored in five minutes.】

Tianquan Ningguang: "Only a five-hundred-square-meter floating island? Isn't the system's reward to Mr. Su Bai a bit too stingy? It's not even as good as my Jade Chamber."

Keqing: "If Mr. Su Bai has the time, you could come to Liyue and take a look at our Jade Chamber."

Tianquan Ningguang: "Ahem, my Jade Chamber."

Venti: "Wow! How amazing—suddenly there are so many, so many big wooden barrels around me, let me have a look..."

Venti: "Good wine."

Paimon: "Wow! Lumine's body is glowing—huh? Her elemental forces have fused, and the mark on her that shows her element has turned white, just like Aether's! Lumine, your power is back!"

Lumine: "So amazing, but..."

Lumine: "Su Bai, tell me right now where you are."

Su Bai: "Hold on, let me study this reward first."

Aether: "That's so strange—I actually got a reward too. What's the use of giving me Mora?"

Dvalin: "You think that's strange? The strangest is Barbatos, right? Damn it—how did he get a reward too?"

Venti: "Hey, I helped Su Bai catch Lumine at the very end. I contributed to those two as well."

Diluc: "At this rate, the Anemo Archon's grin is going to split his face open."

Zhong Li: "So I really didn't manage to get a Mora reward, did I?"

Hu Tao: "My dear consultant, the great Geo Prince—could we go borrow some money from Aether first to patch up the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's accounts?"

Zhong Li: "Mm... that money alone won't be enough. We'll still need Young Master Tartaglia to chip in."

Tartaglia: "Have some shame. Back in Liyue I helped you and Lumine plenty, and yet you kept me in the dark the whole time."

Dainsleif: "Aether, how about we travel through Teyvat one more time?"

Aether: "..."

Charlotte: "This is bad—a floating island has appeared above Fontaine!"

Navia: "Huh? Really? And it's right above a residential area. What's going on?"

Neuvillette: "..."

It's not that I didn't want to help you hide it—the Reincarnation System didn't just expose your Reincarnation story, it exposed your address too.

For the rest, you're on your own, Reincarnator.

Neuvillette sat in his office and let out a long breath.

At least this matter had nothing to do with him.

But the next second, Neuvillette seemed to think of something, and his breath caught.

Neuvillette: "Furina, where exactly are you right now?"

..... Begging for flowers..

..... Begging for tickets.....

..... Begging for data.....

Thank you thank you thank you thank you, a thousand thanks!!!.

Chapter 35: Paimon's Great Use—The Divine Wingman

Fontaine Court.

Because of the system's broadcast.

The enormous floating island that had suddenly appeared above Fontaine Court did not cause the Fontaine citizens excessive shock.

What surprised them, however, was why a floating island had appeared in Fontaine at all.

And why it was hovering directly above a certain residential building.

"Hey, no way..."

"You don't mean to say Mr. Su Bai the Reincarnator lives here in Fontaine?"

"Could something like this really be true?"

"Otherwise, why would this floating island appear here? I remember when the Wind God Barbatos received his reward, it immediately manifested beside him."

"Hmm, perhaps the Reincarnator Mr. Su Bai really lives in Fontaine."

"Should we go..."

"Don't be foolish. Without an invitation, if we're deemed to cause disturbance to someone's life, we'll be punished."

"Right. Such a huge commotion, and even Lord Navette didn't come out—certainly because he can't disturb others lightly."

"Wait, I remember the person next door is..."

"It's Lady Furina's new residence. Hmm, Lady Furina is actually neighbors with the Reincarnator?"

Soon after the floating island appeared in Fontaine, Lumine and Paimon rushed out immediately to witness Su Bai's reward.

"Look quick, Lumine..."

"The island flew away—it seems to have gone toward the distant sea."

Paimon pointed at the departing floating island.

Lumine was instantly startled.

Since just now, she had regained her past-life memories of Su Bai.

No wonder, in her past life, she had acted as if she'd fallen head over heels in love.

She could only blame Su Bai for caring for her too perfectly.

It was exactly as the saying went: afraid he'd melt her if he held her in his mouth, afraid he'd drop her if he held her in his palms.

During their journey, Su Bai cooked her new, varied meals and made fresh juices every day.

He personally heated the water for her baths.

Add to that his sunny, handsome appearance and such doting care.

Who wouldn't be bewitched?

Most importantly, Su Bai truly centered everything on her, exhausting every effort to help her find Aether.

Especially in the days after learning that Aether had joined the Shenyuan Sect.

Faced with Lumine's shattered emotions, Su Bai stayed by her side without leaving, accepting all her negative feelings.

The only thing that displeased Lumine was Su Bai's final decision.

He went alone to find Aether—and ended up sacrificing himself to the Celestial Realm.

What did he think of her?

When trouble arises, the two of them should face it together.

Boom!
