Chapter 95

【"Forceful, with presence..."】

【As if they had found the key.】

【Furina suddenly burst into loud laughter: "Excellent, excellent, my subjects—only you deserve to be ruled by me, Furina."】

【"I used to wonder: if one day a timid puppet ascended this stage and claimed to be the master of this opera house, would the people of Fontaine still obey?"】

【"Now I see—good. None of you are boring."】

【"You deserve to sit with me in this opera house and witness the judgment."】

【"Alright, that performance was a gift to you all—a debut I deemed fitting for this opera house."】

【Furina's sudden shift made the audience below suddenly understand.】

【"So that was all just performance? No wonder—I forgot this was an opera house."】

【"The new god is so distinctive—it startled me, but it's far more reassuring than that weakling before."】

【"....."】

【"There is no problem in this world that judgment cannot solve, as long as you... my subjects."】

【"As long as your hearts firmly believe in justice."】

【"In this Opicla Opera House, before this Arbiter of Edicts..."】

【"I, the demon god Fucalos, can judge even the gods of this world."】

Huanglong Yidou: "Hey, I used to think Madame Furina was a coward—now I realize she's truly incredible."

Jean: "It only seemed like acting, but with Fucalos's advice weighing on her, Furina's psychological burden is terrifying."

Yaoyue Shenzǐ: "So she's just an ordinary person who wanted to save Fontaine—and yet she's done this much."

Zhong Li: "She made a pact with herself to save Fontaine, and upheld it for five hundred years. Furina is the God of Justice."

Venti: "Bards excel at playing the lute and singing, but a stage performer possesses far more abilities than that."

Lei Dianying: "The Thundering General once battled me in consciousness for hundreds of years to test whether my will would waver. Furina, though human, endured five centuries of performance as spiritual combat—this kind of endurance has reached the divine realm."

Nahida: "Such a performance demands not only unwavering will, but true wisdom."

Navia: "Sigh... we Fontainians didn't know any of this. Back then, we all forced Furina to endure judgment. We..."

Clopinde: "So she carried five hundred years of pressure, silently saving Fontaine."

Xia Luodi: "Sob sob sob—we were all wrong."

Lin Ni: "Back then, I tricked Madame Furina into a moving box. Now I think about it—I deserve to die."

Arenochi: "Sigh... at least in the last life, Su Bai was there to support Furina..."

Naviriet: "Not necessarily. You're thinking too simply. Furina's psychological burden in the last life may have been even greater."

Paimon: "Why?"

Naviriet: "Didn't you notice? Even Su Bai only learned the truth at the very end. Furina kept the secret so tightly, she never told Su Bai."

Chapter 66: Furina and Su Bai's relationship—a belated confession

【Furina's path as a divine impersonator has now settled into its proper course.】

【"Madame Furina, here is today's case report and the subsequent resolutions."】

【"Please review..."】

【Furina: "I was present at every hearing. Leave the trivial details to Naviriet."】

【"Madame Furina, here is the recent hydrological report. The parameters you asked us to monitor remain unfavorable."】

【Furina: "As expected. As a god, I already knew the outcome—I merely wished to see how far human intellect could analyze it."】

【"Um, Madame Furina, the Fontaine Academy of Sciences is also researching the rising water levels."】

【Furina: "Really? Have they found any leads?"】

【"Um, unfortunately, no viable solutions have emerged so far."】

【.....】

【Furina sat on the edge of her bed, head drooping, looking utterly exhausted.】

【"Today is finally over. Playing the god left not a single moment to breathe..."】

【"But it's reassuring—things are slowly falling into place. I no longer hear any doubts."】

【"Perhaps this is fine. If things continue like this, everyone will be saved..."】

【"Don't overthink. Tomorrow's the same—rest now."】

【...】

【"Madame Furina, hydrological anomalies have been detected in Baishong Town."】

【Furina: "Understood. Keep monitoring. Any new developments from the Academy?"】

【"Apologies, Madame Furina. None."】

【.....】

【Another heavy night.】

【Furina sat alone on the edge of her bed.】

【"Today's performance under '553' must not have slipped anywhere."】

【"I must show the people a calm, assured face..."】

【"But I still don't know when this will end. The mental fatigue is overwhelming. I'll rest early tonight."】

【.....】

【"Have I done something wrong?"】

【"Why has the Shenquande Sect, which should support divine authority, begun to oppose me?"】

【"I'm clearly popular in my subjects' eyes..."】

【"What? You say someone is willing to reorganize the sect?"】

【Furina enthusiastically summoned the young-looking fellow who wished to reorganize the Fengdan Sect.】

【The moment they met, Furina suddenly froze.】

【"You are..."】

【"Ah, I'm Su Bai, My Lord of the Water God."】

【Him?】

【Furina finally remembered the man before her—a figure who frequently appeared at the opera house.】

【Every time she went to the opera house, she could spot him in the crowd.】

【Furina didn't understand why this was so, as if it were some magical fate.】

【"You were previously..."】

【"At the Academy of Sciences, I served as a research staff member."】

【"Someone from the Academy of Sciences taking a post in the sect? Can you truly reorganize the Fengdan Sect?"】

【Su Bai patted his chest: "I will absolutely fulfill My Lord's instructions."】

Lumine: "My Mr. has made his entrance—feels so awkward."

Paimon: "Has Su Bai officially begun his quest to clear monsters as the Fengdan Sect's Pope?"

Navia: "My Lord Furina seems to find Mr. Su Bai in the opera crowd every day—could it be..."

Navialet: "Perhaps it has something to do with Fucalos."

Lisa: "Sigh, for some reason, my heart feels unsettled—I sense something bad is about to happen."

【"My Lord of the Water God..."】

【"This is a dessert sent over from the sect."】

Furina: "Wow, it's the Thousand-Mile Mousse—my favorite dessert! Isn't this item limited to daily sales?"

【"But no one can resist lining up early every day—this new sect, though now only one person remains, is far more diligent than those previous bunches."】

【Him? Su Bai...】

【"My Lord Furina, Lord Navialet has led the Shadow Pursuit Corps to the Narcissus Cross Society."】

【The Narcissus Cross Society?】

【"Yes, word is they're conducting terrifying experiments—the tip came from Su Bai."】

【Su Bai?】

【Why would he report the Narcissus Cross Society?】
