[Genshin Impact]: I can become stronger by cooking.

This tomato sauce is leftover from making the squirrel fish.

Since there was only a little left, Chao Ke didn't plan to save it for later. He decided to treat it as an appetizer, something to eat and finish it off.

only...

When Chao Ke sat down and ate the first spoonful of tomato sauce, Violet's eyes looked a little strange.

Fufu was chewing on a golden shrimp ball. Having been partners with Villette for a long time, she noticed the strange look in Villette's eyes.

Fulina glanced at Chao Ke, "This cunning Fools, would he make such a mistake?"

But Chao Ke didn't react to anything and continued to enjoy the high-quality tomato sauce in his bowl.

Chao Ke was naturally aware of Violet's gaze.

But Chao Ke didn't take it to heart and continued eating on his own.

After all, this was Chao Ke's first meeting with Navelette, so it's understandable that the Water Dragon King was somewhat wary of him.

After Chao Ke slurped it down several times, the tomato sauce in the bowl was quickly emptied.

And it seemed that Villette was about to open her mouth to say something.

Fortunately, at this crucial juncture, Fu Ningna stepped forward.

"Since your drinks and food are so delicious, I'll help you out this time!"

As she spoke, Funina placed a [Golden Shrimp Ball] into the tomato sauce in Chao Ke's bowl and said to him.

"Eat it quickly!"

Chapter 155 Everything I said tonight is true.

"Ok?"

Seeing Fu Ningna suddenly feeding him, Chao Ke looked on with a puzzled expression.

What's wrong with Silly Fufu? Why is she suddenly putting food on her plate?

hiss~

Surely she can't be secretly in love with me...

Chao Ke shook his head, dismissing the unrealistic idea from his mind.

Since he couldn't figure it out, he simply stopped thinking about it. Chao Ke held the tail of the [Golden Shrimp Ball] in his hand, dipped it a few times in the tomato sauce in the bowl, and put it in his mouth.

Yes, it really is delicious.

At that moment, the scrutiny from Navelette shifted away from Chao Ke.

Chao Ke paused, clearly realizing this, and pondered in his mind.

"Why did this change occur after I ate these [Golden Shrimp Balls]?"

Wait a minute, suddenly, Chao Ke thought of something.

Among the complex laws of Fontainebleau, there seems to be one such law.

[Eating ketchup alone is prohibited in the cafeteria and restaurants]

Okay, the case is solved.

It turns out that it wasn't Fufu who made the foolish mistake, but herself.

To commit an illegal act before the Supreme Judge of Fontainebleau is itself a form of blasphemy.

Chao Ke quickly thanked Funina for her timely help.

Fufu, on the other hand, crossed her legs and looked at Chao Ke with a haughty expression.

"Ahem, stranger, I am Fucarus, the water demon god, a just, loving and generous deity."

“Even if you are not my subject, I will not withhold my love.”

Sing praises of my glorious name!

Chao Ke's lips twitched, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Fairness and compassion may be true, but as for generosity...

Chao Ke stared at the iron plate on Fu Fu's chest for a few moments, and he really couldn't see any generosity in her.

The sect leader's developmental stage isn't over yet; perhaps the future is bright. But Fufu's scale over these five hundred years seems to have already reached its limit...

But since Funina had helped him out of a predicament, Chao Ke didn't go too far. He only glanced at her briefly before withdrawing his disrespectful gaze.

The banquet was generally well-attended.

Funina, who loves desserts and fine cuisine, was naturally the happiest of the group.

Whether it's the sweet almond tofu or the exquisitely crafted golden shrimp balls and squirrel fish, she was amazed not only by the techniques but also by the delightful flavors.

It truly made Funina very happy.

And the Supreme Judge, Mr. Navelette, also sampled the dishes on the table on several occasions.

However, the dishes that Villette tasted most often were the juicy boiled cabbage and almond tofu.

As for the dish "Squirrel Fish," Navelette only picked up a few pieces out of courtesy, and only put them into her mouth after the fish was soaked in tomato sauce.

As for the golden, crisp, and completely dry [Golden Shrimp Balls]...

Villette preferred to appear rude rather than try a single bite.

As time passed, the banquet came to an end.

"Whew, I'm so full!"

Funina rubbed her stomach and sighed contentedly.

Navelette nodded slightly, taking small sips of the seventh cup of "Bamboo Forest Spring" that Chao Ke had refilled for him.

Now that the banquet is over, the true purpose of this gathering will be revealed.

After clearing away the dishes, Chao Ke looked at Fu Ningna, and Fu Ningna read his meaning from his expression.

Fufu didn't speak, but just silently looked at Navelette.

The tacit understanding developed from working together for so long made Navelette instantly realize that Funina wanted her to leave for a while.

Navelette said nothing, stood up from her seat, and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, she gave Chao Ke a slightly warning look, and... took the cup of "Bamboo Forest Spring" with lots of pearls with her.

With Navelette's temporary departure, the atmosphere inside the [Delicious Taste Restaurant] became slightly quieter.

Chao Ke wasn't in a hurry. He leaned back in his chair in the restaurant and silently watched Fu Ningna.

With her mind filled with all sorts of thoughts, Funina had no time to care about the attention from the outside world.

After a long while, it was Funina who couldn't hold back any longer and asked the first question.

"Um, what did you mean when you said 'it's about to end'?"

Chao Ke stood up from his chair in the restaurant, walked to Fu Ningna's side, and began to speak slowly.

All people will dissolve into the sea, leaving only the water god weeping on his throne.

Only then will the sins of the Fontainebleau people be atoned for.

Fu Ningna paused for a moment, then forced a smile and teased Chao Ke.

"Haha! I didn't expect that even a stranger like you would have heard of this absurd prophecy. You didn't invite me here today just to verify it, did you?"

As she spoke, Funina used a variety of body language to accompany her words.

He was laughing while clutching his stomach with his left hand, and lightly pounding the table with his right.

It's as if what Chao Ke said was utterly ridiculous.

"Stop your doubts, stranger."

"I, Fucarus, the water goddess, am the queen of all waters, all lands, all peoples, and all laws!"

"If I so choose! Not only will the waters that submerge the Fontaines be subject to my command, but the vast oceans that cover the entire continent of Teyvat will also obey my orders!"

"This matter has touched upon the realm of the gods, and it's not something someone like you can handle..."

However, before Funina could finish speaking with feigned composure and authority, Chao Ke's figure was already standing behind her.

Funina's expression became somewhat flustered. She put her hands in front of her body and looked at Chao Ke.

"What...what are you going to do? Don't...don't come any closer."

Chao Ke stopped walking, but continued his previous narration.

"However, things are not without hope."

"All of this... will end in a grand, dramatic trial..."

"Everyone will be saved."

"Am I right? The water demon goddess who has 'played' a deity for nearly five hundred years, yet possesses no divine power, Ms. Funina?"

Funina's pupils contracted, and a series of violent waves of shock surged through her mind.

The secret she had tried so hard to conceal for nearly five hundred years was revealed by Chao Ke in one night.

This shock caused her to lose her composure.

Chao Ke stepped forward again and placed his hands on Funina's shoulders.

"After playing the water god for so many years, you've reached your limit, haven't you?"

"You just asked me what I meant by 'it's about to end'?"

"It means..."

"This long, lonely drama, in which you starred, is about to come to an end with that grand, theatrical trial."

"Your perseverance has meaning."

"Your efforts have brought a turning point for the people of Fontainebleau."

"Your disguise will come to an end in less than ten years!"
