Chapter 62

Keqing: "No way, your behavior really doesn't fit how a god should act, but hearing you admit it yourself, I'm still quite shocked."

Tianquan Ningguang: "You're really not the Hydro Archon?"

Nahida: "Eh? Didn't you say you lost your power because you gave it all to the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale?"

Furina: "Fake. If that power were truly mine, how could I not know the reason why the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale was malfunctioning?"

Lisa: "Look, everyone, I told you so..."

Jean: "Hey, you like this..."

Furina: "Mm-hmm, the Su Bai of the previous life was deceived by me; he took my words as the truth."

Yoimiya: "I'm having trouble wrapping my head around this. How could someone actually dare to impersonate a god?"

Sangonomiya Kokomi: "Sigh, how could you bear to deceive Mr. Su Bai in your previous life? He was always giving everything for you."

Kamisato Ayaka: "This means that the power accumulated by the so-called Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale..."

Furina: "Sorry, as for that power, I don't understand it at all."

Alhaitham: "That's bad. Mr. Su Bai still thought you were doing this to resist the prophecy."

Enjou: "Hmph, so that's how it is..."

Klee: "Hmph, so that's how it is, you actually deceived Brother Su Bai."

Aether: "Enjou, what are you humming about?"

Enjou: "Your Highness, actually, I don't think there's any need for everyone to worry. After all, Master Su still has a second plan."

Yae Miko: "What is there to worry about? I actually have no ripples in my heart; I even feel like laughing a little."

Furina: "Ah? Don't you find this unexpected and surprising?"

Neuvillette: "You... uh... I really don't know what to say to you..."

Yae Miko: "Please, this is a reincarnation story. Su Bai is the true protagonist. From the very beginning, I never felt things would end so easily."

Clorinde: "I didn't expect Furina would actually dare to say it here. I admire your courage."

Navia: "So, in the end, it was Mr. Su Bai who saved Fontaine in the previous life? He must have followed his own method and completely erased the Primordial Sea Water."

Neuvillette: "As it stands, that should be roughly the case, provided no accidents occur."

Skirk: "Destroying the All-Devouring Narwhal after sealing it? Mr. Su Bai is truly far-sighted. He even accounted for the Narwhal erupting with Primordial Sea Water. Looking at the situation, this should be the ending."

Consultant Zhongli: "Speaking from a general theory, as a reincarnator, little brother Su Bai must at least have a death ending."

Lumine: "???"

Paimon: "Lord of Geo, have you manifested as a consultant for the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor to take on clients?"

Hu Tao: "But Mr. Su Bai is a long-lived species; his lifespan is very long. Could he die because of sealing the big whale?"

Skirk: "That's impossible. With the abilities Mr. Su Bai has shown so far, once he unleashes his full power, that whale is definitely no match for him."

Paimon: "Did you all forget? Teyvat itself is in a cycle, as mentioned before, unless Lumine can ascend to a new throne, or someone else does."

[Palais Mermonia.]

[Furina cried a little.]

[Thinking of what happened tonight, she couldn't help but tremble.]

[She never thought that someone in Fontaine would actually want to kill her.]

[She was so scared that she slumped onto the floor, even crying for help.]

[Fortunately, at the critical moment, a noise nearby made the assassin afraid to linger, and they left without doing anything more.]

Arlecchino: "A noise? I remember in this life, there was no noise."

Paimon: "It must have been the butler by Su Bai's side. He must have been protecting Furina in secret; otherwise, why would he be holding the kitten Furina was playing with?"

[Bang, bang, bang...]

["Who is it!"]

[Furina was like a taut spring.]

[The sudden knocking on the door immediately made her alert.]

["Lady Furina, the Pope is here to see you, saying there is an urgent matter to discuss."]

[Su Bai?]

[Hearing that Su Bai had come, Furina's trembling body immediately relaxed a lot.]

[She adjusted her emotions.]

[She feigned calmness and said: "I know. Tell him to wait in the living room for a moment; I'll be out after I tidy up."]

[The words fell.]

[Furina hurriedly got up and went to look in the mirror.]

[She washed the tear stains off her cheeks with clear water.]

[However, when she arrived in the living room.]

[Furina realized that besides her favorite Mille-Feuille cake on the table.]

[Sitting obediently beside Su Bai was a well-behaved kitten.]

[And that kitten was the very one she had been playing with before she was ambushed tonight.]

["It's over."]

["With this cat in his hands, he must know I was ambushed tonight."]

["He didn't hear me crying and screaming for help, did he? That would be too embarrassing."]

[Furina held her forehead in distress. She had been terrified just a moment ago, but for some reason, the moment she saw Su Bai, she didn't feel that afraid anymore.]

["You came so late, surely not just to deliver cake?"]

[Furina pointed suspiciously at the Mille-Feuille on the table.]

[She had had no appetite at all just now, but now she suddenly felt hungry.]

["And the cat."]

[Su Bai patted the kitten, and it ran to Furina's side on its own, rubbing against her again and again.]

[This made Furina's mood even better.]

["What's wrong with you?"]

["You seem quite happy today, actually coming to bring me things."]

[Hey, hey, hey, you're not happy because you saw me make a fool of myself, are you?]

·· ······Seeking flowers··· ···

[That person was so terrifying, she wanted to kill me.]

["It's alright." Su Bai sat opposite Furina, crossing his legs, looking triumphant.]

[He didn't mention anything about Furina being attacked.]

[Instead, he said: "I have finally understood the painstaking efforts of the Hydro Archon to save Fontaine."]

[What!]

[Su Bai knows the truth?]

[Furina was stunned upon hearing this.]

[A trace of imperceptible fear flashed in her pupils.]

[Fortunately, Su Bai's subsequent words made Furina breathe a sigh of relief.]

["I deeply apologize for my misunderstanding of you before."]

["You are right; as the Pope, I should just do my own job."]

["As a god, you have your own strategy for dealing with the prophecy."]

[Ah?]

[Furina was completely confused by what she heard.]

[Undoubtedly, the Su Bai before her must have sensed something, but he seemed to have misunderstood something because of her lies.]

[However, facing Su Bai's pained expression.]

[Furina's eyes flickered a few times, and she whispered tentatively: "You..."]

["What did you investigate?"]

[Hearing this, Su Bai told Furina the information he had obtained from Vacher, combined with his own conjectures.]

[Mm!]
