Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Chapter 595: Warm-up Activities for Shadow Chapter

"Go further?"

Funina tilted her head, seeming to not quite understand what Zhongli meant.

"Well, Ms. Finina still seems to be lacking in terms of power, but the demon gods in the Dark Sea... can make up for this deficiency and increase Ms. Finina's power."

Zhongli nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Chang Ming standing beside him.

"Of course, this kind of power enhancement is also inseparable from the help of Mr. Chang Ming."

Hearing Zhongli's words, Chang Ming frowned slightly, then lowered his head to think for a while, and after a while he asked:

"...Mr. Zhongli means that we can use the power of the light world and the rules of Teyvat to purify the high-purity "residues" left behind by the demon gods after their death and then use them?"

"That's right. The power of the light world can purify the pollution left over from the Dark Sea, and the rules of Teyvat can eliminate the remaining demon consciousness."

Having said that, Zhongli paused for a moment, then revealed a rare smile.

"What's more, Ms. Funina is a demon god. Her body and soul are already at the demon god level. It is very easy for her to accommodate this level of power."

"The people of Liyue always pay attention to 'the right time, the right place, and the right people' when doing things. Now these three elements have long been satisfied for the two of you."

"And the opportunity... has arrived at this moment."

Having said that, Zhongli took a sip of tea and then looked at Funina who was sitting next to Chang Ming.

At this moment, Funina was thinking with her head down, as if she was wondering what to do next.

She wanted to help him very much, but she didn't have the strength. If she got into danger, it would make things even more difficult for him.

And now, this contradictory psychology can finally be broken.

She no longer had to stand behind the front lines, praying for him and lamenting her own powerlessness.

Thinking of this, she turned her head slightly to look at Chang Ming who was sitting next to her, and gently squeezed his hand.

After their eyes met, Finina blinked her beautiful heterochromatic eyes slightly, as if conveying some message.

"I want to increase my strength."

Looking at the determined look in Fu Nina's eyes, Chang Ming sighed slightly, then smiled and nodded, which counted as a response.

"...I will do so once I have verified that this method of increasing my power is completely harmless."

"Okay!"

After receiving Chang Ming's gentle gaze, Funina immediately hugged Chang Ming's arm like a cheering little rabbit, and leaned her little head on his shoulder without hesitation.

She is no longer the Furninda who would blush at the slightest intimacy and would be so shy that she would bury her little head in the ground if she showed the slightest affection in front of others.

She had figured it out long ago. Chang Ming was her happiness, so why should she be so shy or hide it?

He had loved her silently more than four hundred years ago, so what was wrong with her choosing to express her love vocally now?

But...even though I say that, I will still be shy when I need to.

Especially in this environment.

As the initial emotions gradually faded away, Furninna also noticed Wendy's gaze that was as if she was sighing, "It's great to be young."

Such a look made her quickly pull her hand back, and then she lowered her head, looked at her skirt with a red face, and fell into a brief shutdown.

Looking at the suddenly shy Funina, Wendy shook her head with a smile and then turned her attention to Chang Ming standing beside her.

"Well then... we have concluded our discussion on this matter today. We will also have corresponding countermeasures for the Inazuma issue in the future."

"Well~ Today went smoothly. Now it's time to enjoy the festive atmosphere of Fontainebleau~"

As Wendy spoke, she took out a harp from somewhere and plucked it twice symbolically, producing pleasant sounds.

"Okay, the various warm-up activities for the Film Festival will begin in the next few days. If you have any good suggestions... just tell me directly, and I will ask them to make some adjustments."

After that, Chang Ming took Funina out of the box, planning to go back to Mo Mang Palace to check on the preparations for the Shadow Festival.

Of course, his purpose was not so simple - he was actually dealing with the Shadow Festival matters while waiting for Ying and Paimon to come find him.

After all, in their eyes, the place where this NPC most often appears is Mo Mang Palace.

......

The Eightfold Son of God looked at the prosperous Fontainebleau and the people of Fontainebleau coming and going, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

As the chief priest of Narukami Taisha Shrine, Yaegamiko, like Changming, is the type of person who rarely leaves her country.

So...her understanding of Chang Ming basically only exists in letters and other people's descriptions.

She had only heard that Fontaine had a regent with a mind as intelligent as a demon, and knew that Fontainebleau was becoming better and better under his leadership, but her understanding of these aspects only stopped at the level of "knowing".

However, when she actually stood here and traveled around for a while, she truly understood how powerful Chang Ming's abilities were.

"This guy... is really good at what he does..."

Hearing what Yae Shinko said, Xia Vole, who was standing beside her, smiled slightly, with a hint of pride on her face.

As a member of Fontaine, when he heard someone praising his hometown and the adult who built all this and created a better life for them, he would naturally straighten his chest and show a proud look.

"You two, the warm-up activities for the Fontainebleau Film Festival will begin in two days. The streets will become more lively by then, and... there will be more interesting things happening."

"What do you mean by interesting things...?"

Kamisato Ayaka tilted her head and looked at Xia Volei with some confusion.

"During the three days of the warm-up event, several excellent screenwriters and directors from Fontaine will hold scripts and conduct open recruitment for actors."

“Moreover, the films directed by these screenwriters and directors will be completed during the film festival and will eventually become the first batch of films officially released at Fontainebleau.”

"It is worth mentioning that... several big names from Fontaine will be involved in these scripts."

Hearing Xia Wo Lei's words, Yae Shen Zi nodded with interest, and then asked intentionally or unintentionally:

"Hmm? Since it's an open casting call, they should release part of the script, right?"

"Yes, the most recently released script is... Let me take a look..."

As Xia Wole spoke, she took out a small notebook, which recorded in detail various things that had happened recently.

These also include the names of several popular scripts that have been announced recently.

"There are three in total. The first one is "The Rose and the Gun". It is said that Miss Clorinde from the Shadow Chaser and Miss Navia, the president of the Thorn Rose Society, will be involved in it.

The second is "The Redemption of Dovran", the participant seems to be the Duke of Melo Petersburg? I am not sure about this.

The last one is "To the Immaculate Water", and the participants are said to be Chang Ming and Lady Funina, but I don't know if it's true or not."

Xiawolei shrugged as he spoke, then looked at the two thoughtful guests beside him and asked softly:

"Are you two planning to get involved as well?"

"Shenzi! And Linghua! So you've already arrived! I thought it would take you two days to get to Fontaine!"
