Chapter 82

{Aiwelson looked anxious. }

{"What's wrong?"}

{Su Bai's good mood vanished instantly under Aiwelson's anxiety. }

{He knew his butler well. }

{Unless faced with something extremely troublesome, he would never wear such an expression. }

{And he was holding a cat in his arms. }

{"My Lord, someone attacked the Water God tonight."}

{Su Bai: "!!!"}

{Xiao Gong: "Wow! Furina was attacked?"}

{Shinri Ayaka: "Could it be...?"}

{Sangul Gong Xin Hai: "It must be her."}

{Dadalia: "Arenochi? She just said she made Furina cry loudly."}

{Arenochi: "I only gave a small test—I'm not stupid. How would I dare kill Furina in Fontaine? Even if she's weak, she's still the publicly recognized Water God."}

{Lin Ni: "Ah, Father, your little test in the last life..."}

{Linniet: "It won't affect this life, right?"}

{Arenochi: "@Su Bai, Esteemed Mr. Su Bai, are you really this petty?"}

{Su Bai: "Petty? Extremely petty. Tell me what to do—how do you compensate me for my wounded soul?"}

{Furina: "Hey, she attacked me—why are you the one with a wounded soul?"}

{Lumine: "This just shows how much you mean to him. Su Bai's mouth is coated in honey."}

{Yae Miko: "I don't believe it—unless I taste it."}

{Lumine: "???"}

{Chapter 60: My Lord Water God, why are you crying? }

{Teyvat welcomed the night. }

{In Su Bai's living room. }

{Lumine was intently watching the next part of the plot. }

{Furina, meanwhile, sat restlessly, her eyes sneaking glances at Su Bai. }

{She hadn't expected that a single lie from her past life had completely thrown Su Bai off course. }

{What did this prove? }

{It proved that in Su Bai's heart, he believed everything she said without doubt. }

{The chat in the livestream mostly expressed recognition of Su Bai's efforts and regret over their helplessness. }

{But to Furina, Su Bai shouldn't be subjected to such so-called pity. }

{Heroes don't need pity—they deserve reverence. }

{"Huh..."}

{Furina let out a deep, long breath. }

{Su Bai, Lumine, and Paimon all woke up at once, turning to look at Furina in unison. }

{"What's wrong?"}

{Su Bai asked curiously. }

{"Furina, suddenly breathing like that really is strange."}

{Lumine wore a mischievous smile. }

{"You haven't recovered your memories yet, and you're already falling for him?"}

{"No way!" Furina pouted, but quickly calmed down. }

{"I want to clarify to the livestream audience—I'm not the Water God."}

{Huh? }

{Su Bai and the others froze. }

{They couldn't understand Furina's sudden strange thought. }

{"Hey, don't look at me like that!"}

{Furina protested, her eyes darting nervously toward Su Bai. }

{"I can't stand watching the livestream crowd pity Su Bai's failure."}

{"His plan didn't fail—he wanted to completely purge the Primordial Amniotic Water, and that's the only way to prevent Fontaine's people from dissolving."}

{"No one knows the truth—they still think I have a solution. That's unfair to Su Bai."}

{So that's it. }

{Lumine and Paimon exchanged glances. }

{They were among the few who knew the truth. }

{Fontaine's people hadn't fully dissolved in the Primordial Amniotic Water because Navia had used his authority to absolve them of their sins. }

{That freed them from their simulated identity as Pure Water Spirits. }

{According to the development of the last life... }

{Su Bai had no power to change the reality that Fontaine's people were transformed Pure Water Spirits. }

{Yet, before anyone knew the truth, he had devised a second plan to prevent Fontaine's dissolution. }

{That plan was to have the Star-Swallowing Whale absorb all of the Primordial Amniotic Water. }

{He intended to seal and destroy the Star-Swallowing Whale. }

Since the identity of the Fontaine people as Oceanids cannot be changed, Su Bai decided to solve the problem of the Primordial Sea water on Teyvat.

As long as the Primordial Sea water is gone from Teyvat, the people of Fontaine will not be dissolved.

"If you tell everyone in the live stream right now that you are not the Hydro Archon, aren't you afraid people will laugh at you?"

"What is there to fear?" Furina suddenly stood up.

She pinched her small waist with tsundere pride: "I have already been to the Court of Justice and judged publicly by people."

"Isn't it just clarifying your identity in the live stream?"

"There is nothing shameful about it."

Lumine looked at Paimon and Su Bai.

Su Bai pretended not to notice Lumine's gaze and looked elsewhere on his own.

"Before memories of the past life have even recovered, you are already starting to protect Su Bai's image?"

Lumine smiled: "As you said, as long as you publicly admit your identity as a fake Hydro Archon, Su Bai's plan will be the best method to save Fontaine so far."

"His image will immediately stand tall again, even higher and more towering than before."

"Tsk tsk tsk, Paimon, look at her. Furina hasn't even entered the door yet, and she is already starting to protect Su Bai."

"If she enters the door, and I say even one bad thing about Su Bai later, won't she beat me?"

Paimon awkwardly touched her head: "Um... this..."

"I have no choice, Lumine."

"If you must say it, Su Bai is a good person; why do you want to argue with him?"

"But I think Furina's Decision of this nature is really impressive."

"Alright then." Lumine smiled: "If people talk nonsense later, don't cry."

Live stream.

Furina: "Ahem, ahem, actually I have a huge secret to tell everyone."

Neuvillette: "....."

Kaeya: "What huge secret?"

Venti: "Is there a new story again?"

Yae Miko: "What's wrong? Did you stumble upon a little secret between Su Bai and Lumine?"

Lumine: "Fox, can you have some serious things in your brain?"

Raiden Ei: "Is it about the power you accumulated in the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale? That power must be very strong, right?"

Furina: "Uh uh uh... whether the power is strong or not, I definitely don't know, after all I am a fake Hydro Archon."

Arataki Itto: "Huh? You really are not the Hydro Archon?"
