Yes, Lady Funina!

Of course, there may be more than these three. Richard couldn't help but touch the mark on his right hand. In addition to Finina, the hiding Fucaros can actually be counted as one.

Even though they haven't actually met each other yet.

"There is no doubt that I am a normal man who is very healthy in terms of sexual orientation and everything else. I hope the three ladies can keep this in mind," Richard emphasized.

“Don’t play with fire, or you will suffer the consequences.”

After saying this, Linnet shook her cat ears angrily and tucked her hair behind her ears with her hands.

She just wanted to play with fire, but she failed to do so and was knocked down by a glass of red wine. This was a shame for her whole life, and Linnet decided to improve her alcohol tolerance when she returned, at least she would not be knocked down by just one glass.

G Wait, why do I have to drink?

Linnet fell into deep thought, and she found that she seemed to have fallen into some misconception.

"Okay, the Q&A session is over, and it's time to get to work." Richard clapped his hands and said, seeing that the misunderstanding was almost resolved.

"Lady Fu Nina, the Liyue Embassy has submitted an application, hoping to conduct cultural exchange activities with Fengdan. At that time, Tianquan, one of the seven stars of Liyue, will lead the team, and it is said that there will be immortals accompanying them."

"And the immortal who came with them is also an acquaintance of mine. She is quite knowledgeable about mechanical devices. I remember that Lady Funina was very interested in the technology of the Qun Yu Pavilion. We can take this opportunity to have a good exchange with each other." Richard said.

"So fast? But the funding..." Funina didn't expect the money from Liyue to come so quickly.

It shouldn't have been that long since the Yunlai Sea Demon God Rebellion, right? Has the situation in Liyue stabilized?

"Lady Fu Nina, don't worry about the funding. Since this is a cultural exchange, technology is also a kind of culture. We can have a good exchange with Liyue on anti-gravity technology."

"Although Fontaine's anti-gravity technology is still immature, it is still very valuable from the technology itself. In addition, I have some connections in Liyue, and I believe that Liyue should be happy to discuss and cooperate with us on technology."

Richard knew that woman. She had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. He only needed to reason with her and appeal to her emotions, and it would be easy to... ahem, it would be easy to get her to help. Referring to the successful case of the Qun Yu Pavilion, it should be possible to come up with some feasible suggestions for Fontaine.

As for the cost, we will discuss it in detail when the time comes.

At this moment, Master Liuyun Jiefeng, who was far away in Liyue Jueyun, sneezed suddenly. She looked at her disciple who was packing in the bedroom and said, "Shenhe, there is no need to prepare so many clothes. We are just going there for an exchange and visit, not to settle down there..."

PS: I went to the dental hospital, so the update is a little late...

Volume 113: Chapter Shen He & Xian Yun

The morning glow crossed the sky, and the golden light streaked across the fish-scale clouds, leaving a gorgeous arc.

Although it was only early morning, the docks of Liyue Harbor were already bustling with activity. After more than a month, time seemed to have healed the scars of the Emperor's departure, and the tenacious and hardworking people of Liyue had regained their former vitality.

Today is the day when the Liyue Cultural Exchange Delegation sets out for Fontainebleau. Because it is a friendly visit between Liyue and Fontainebleau and an exchange between countries, the standards of the trip are quite high.

This can be regarded as the first major external action since Liyue encountered great changes. Everyone in Liyue attaches great importance to this matter. Not only is the team led by Ningguang, the most prestigious of the Seven Stars of Liyue, but even the immortals are on the follow-up list this time.

"Alas, if it weren't for the kid Shen He, I wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles to Fontainebleau to find that guy. I'd rather spend this time studying mechanical engineering. To be honest, I've always been introverted, and I may not be able to help you much in this exchange visit." True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng sighed as he stood beside Ningguang.

At the moment, she is in human form. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she uses a pseudonym, Xianyun, in the accompanying list of this trip.

In fact, it is not really a pseudonym. After all, Master Liuyun Jiefeng has already decided to use this name when he travels in the world from now on.

Since the Emperor passed away, immortals will become a thing of the past in Liyue. Today’s Liyue is the Liyue of humans. This is the Emperor’s choice, and they, the immortals, should follow it.

It’s just that other immortals can ignore worldly affairs, but Xianyun can’t. With Shenhe and Ganyu around, it’s hard for her not to get involved in worldly affairs.

After all, Shen He is not a real immortal. Xianyun knows that it is not realistic to let Shen He live with him in Jueyunjian, a secluded deep mountain forest.

Especially because of Shen He's fate of 'Gu Chen Jie Sha', the immortals used the method of binding her soul with a red rope in order to let her grow up safely without bringing harm to innocent people. While restraining the evil and murderous aura in her, it also inevitably imprisoned her human emotions.

With the influence of this side effect, Shen He became less and less human, and daily trivialities were less and less likely to stir up waves in her heart. The things that ordinary people valued were nothing but passing clouds to her.

As Shen He grew older, she became more and more like a beautiful sculpture devoid of emotions.

Xianyun knew that in order to ease and change this situation, Shen He must be exposed to human society. However, this was not enough, and he must find someone who could shake her emotions.

Obviously Xianyun knew who this person was. Over the years, the only person who could leave a mark in Shen He's life, besides her master, was the man who saved her life.

As soon as she heard that she was going to find that man, Shen He packed her luggage overnight and put all the clothes that Master Liuyun Jiefeng had made for her over the years into the suitcase, as if she was going out and not coming back.

Do you think Master Liuyunjiefeng wants to go to Fontainebleau to visit his old friends?

Pok, he was afraid that the disciple he had raised for nearly twenty years would run away with someone!

She raised Shen He with great difficulty. If she let him run away without being careful, wouldn't it be a huge loss?

The most crucial thing is that the person who abducted Shen He was none other than the guy who acted as a hands-off boss back then.

This is like giving seeds that were easily obtained to a fruit farmer. The fruit farmer works hard and takes good care of the tree, and finally grows the seeds into a big tree. As a result, the peaches on the tree are ripe, and the person who gave the seeds to the fruit farmer doesn't want to pay a penny and just wants to pick the peaches. Do you think this is appropriate?

Of course, the reality is definitely different from the metaphor, because peaches cannot be delivered to someone's arms on their own, but Shen He can.

Hey, I’m even more angry!

“Master, don’t say that. Your coming with us to Fontaine is already the greatest support to us. The fact that Liyue could stabilize so quickly is inseparable from the help of all the immortals.” Ningguang said sincerely.

The fact that Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng was able to participate in Liyue's visit to Fontainebleau this time has far more symbolic significance than practical significance. No matter what the other party's starting point is, as long as he can participate, he has already revealed a message to the outside world.

Although the Immortal and the Seven Stars cannot be said to have reconciled, this at least shows that there is no irreconcilable contradiction between the Immortal and the Seven Stars, and everyone can sit down and have a good chat calmly.

In this way, the rumors of internal discord in Liyue will naturally be dispelled, and it will be difficult for those who have ulterior motives to use this to make trouble.

"Call me Benxian... No, just call me Xianyun. I will use this name in Liyue Harbor from now on." Xianyun corrected her speaking habits. If she continued to call herself Benxian, everyone would know that she was an immortal. In that case, what was the point of the alias?

"Then Master Xianyun can just call me Ningguang." Ningguang also let Xianyun call her by her name out of courtesy.

However, Xianyun looked a little strange, and said puzzledly: "Haven't I always called you like this?"

Even a woman as shrewd as Ningguang couldn't help but be stunned when she heard Xianyun's words, but when she thought about it carefully, it seemed to be true. These immortals have always addressed the Seven Stars of Liyue by their names.

But it is also true that the status of these Liyue immortals is actually similar to that of the Liyue Seven Stars, or even more transcendent. After all, those immortals truly followed the Emperor to conquer the world, unlike these Seven Stars who are replaced every generation.

It is like the immortal is permanent, while the seven stars are transient.

"This makes me seem a little unfamiliar." Ningguang laughed.

“It’s okay, I… I don’t mind.” Xianyun had a good impression of Ningguang. Although her overall impression of the Seven Stars was not very good, she also recognized Ningguang’s contribution to Liyue.

Especially since the other party spared no expense to build the Qun Yu Pavilion after years of hard work, a group of immortals including Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun felt admiration for him. It was this move that made the immortals temporarily recognize the current Seven Stars.

"Miss Shen He, please come over here. Lady Ningguang has already arranged a guest room for you. Just put your luggage there. The staff will take care of it for you..."

While Xianyun and Ningguang were chatting, Shenhe had already arrived at the dock. The staff in charge of reception kept wiping the cold sweat from his head and giving directions to this beautiful fairy who was ignorant of the world.

Of course, if it was really just as simple as giving directions, the staff wouldn't have sweated. In fact, when they went to pick up Shen He, a group of Qianyan Army soldiers had already gathered around him.

Don't get me wrong, it's not that Shen He did something wrong, but someone provoked Shen He.

Several hooligans who hang around the dock set their eyes on Shen He, a beautiful woman who seems innocent and gullible. Since Shen He's dress made it obvious that she was a wealthy man, they became evil-minded and wanted both her money and to take advantage of her.

As a result, by the time the Qianyan Army arrived, these hooligans were already unconscious, lying on the ground, their lives unknown, and they were probably suffering from at least a third-degree concussion.

After all, according to eyewitnesses at the scene, this fairy-like woman knocked down several adult men in just a blink of an eye, and grabbed their heads and slammed them hard on the ground three times, three times for each man!

At this point, the eyewitness couldn't help but admire those hooligans. Although they usually bullied the weak and feared the strong, they were so tough that they didn't say a word when their heads were lifted and hit on the ground.

The sound was very clear.

Fortunately, Shen He knew his limits and, following the advice of Master Liuyun Jiefeng, he did not use his full strength, otherwise even the toughest head would have been broken.

Although the other party was at fault in this matter, Shen He had to go to Qianyan Army to record her statement. Fortunately, the staff who came to pick her up arrived in time. When they heard that she was a guest from Tianquan Star, the statement was naturally expedited, and the whole case was concluded in a short time.

While they were unconscious, those hooligans were sentenced to three years in prison for attempted robbery. However, due to their physical condition, they can receive medical treatment first and serve their sentences after they wake up...

"As for the luggage, I can do it myself." Shen He said without a trace of emotion.

There is really no emotion in this, and the words are cold, giving people the feeling that he is a puppet with only a shell.

Fortunately, it is broad daylight. If I had encountered such a creature at night, no matter how good-looking the other party is, there would always be some people.

After all, a beautiful thing may not necessarily be a fairy, it may also be a female ghost.

"Well... okay." Seeing Shen He say this, the young lady staff member in charge of reception did not force it anymore and prepared to take the other party on board.

However, just as Shen He was carrying his luggage onto the ship, the staff who had boarded the ship earlier could clearly feel that the entire ship was sinking a bit.

At first she thought it was caused by the wind and waves at sea, but soon she looked at the calm sea and the slight dent made by the luggage in Shen He's hand on the deck of the ship, and she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Master Liuyun Jiefeng finally noticed the situation of his disciple. He came to Shen He with a fairy-like air, looked at the luggage in the other's hand, and fell into deep thought.

I told you not to bring so much luggage. Are you planning to separate?

With the eyesight of Master Liuyunjiefeng, it was clear to him that Shen He had used a method similar to the cave expansion method to expand the space inside the small luggage bag and fit more things.

Unlike Linnilinnit's magic pocket, Shenhe's has a larger space. However, it also has a disadvantage, which is that the weight of the things stored inside will not be reduced, but will instead be concentrated on the entire luggage.

However, this disadvantage is useless to Shen He. There is no other way. She is very strong and this weight is not enough for her to lift with one hand.

"I guess this must be Miss Shen He. Seeing is believing. I've heard Xianyun mention you many times. After you're settled, why don't you come to my room and have a chat." Ningguang came here with Master Liuyun Jiefeng, and she had heard of Shen He a long time ago.

She knew that the other party went to Fontaine this time because he had the same goal as her, which was Richard.

In fact, Shen He knew Richard earlier than Ningguang. Richard met Ningguang on his way back to Liyue Harbor after entrusting Shen He to Master Liuyun Jiefeng. From a certain perspective, if it weren't for Shen He, Richard might not have met Ningguang.

After all, Ningguang was a traveling merchant at that time, and her whereabouts were erratic. If Richard had arrived late or early, he might not have met Ningguang, and even if he met her, he might have missed her.

Maybe this is fate.

Shen He looked at Ningguang, then at her master. She had heard from her master that the person in front of her was the current ruler of Liyue. Facing the other party's invitation, Shen He thought about it and nodded in agreement, replying with a brief and powerful "OK".

Shen He agreed to Ningguang's invitation not because of the other party's power, but because Master Liuyun Jiefeng mentioned that Ningguang seemed to have some connection with Richard. Shen He wanted to know more about his savior before meeting Richard, so when he saw that Master Liuyun Jiefeng had no objection, he directly agreed.

As for why Ningguang invited Shen He to talk, it was even simpler. Through the conversation with Xianyun, we can learn that the child in front of her was entrusted to Xianyun by Richard back then, and she has a close relationship with Richard. In addition, the other party is determined to travel thousands of miles to Fontainebleau, so he is very likely a potential rival in love.

Since he is a love rival, you should get to know him well. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.

What's more, they are not necessarily enemies. They can join forces when necessary...

However, based on Ningguang's observation and his previous performance in Liyue Harbor, Shen He may indeed have some defects in his character. No, it should be said that he is unique.

Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun once commented on Shen He, saying that she had extraordinary talents, but her personality was unique, she was ignorant of worldly affairs, did not understand common sense, could not distinguish between beans and millet, and did not know high and low...

But one thing is certain, since the other party is a disciple of an immortal, he must not be a bad person. Therefore, Ningguang attributed it to the fact that he had been isolated from the world for too long and did not understand the secular world. In addition, his mind was very pure, which made him seem a little different from ordinary people.

When facing such people, Ningguang also has a set of means to get along with them. Although they are called means, in fact, there is no need for so many means in communication between people. It is nothing more than exchanging sincerity for sincerity.

For a disciple of the immortal family like Shen He, she can tell at a glance who is good to her and who is bad to her. Although she has an indifferent temperament, the more indifferent she is, sometimes the more she can feel the kindness and malice from others.

The hypocritical communication between adults doesn't work on her.

In response to this, True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng said: "My disciple has the same temperament as me. He is introverted and can't speak. I hope Ningguang, you can bear with him."

Ningguang agreed with a smile, but she felt a little puzzled. Master Liuyun Jiefeng was so talkative, and they had been talking non-stop ever since they met, even though they had some grudges against each other before. Why did she always say that she was indifferent by nature, introverted, and didn't like socializing?

Volume 114: Chapter Funina: What a mess!

Liyue’s cultural visit to Fontaine is also a very important event for Fontaine, and Momang Palace has also sent sufficiently influential figures to provide a reciprocal reception.

That person is... Navilette.

After all, we can't always ask Funina to take action, and the person coming from Liyue this time is from Tianquan Star and an immortal, so it would be most appropriate for the highest judge of Fontaine to come forward.

However, it was called a reception, but in reality the two sides just met, exchanged politeness, and pretended to discuss the process arrangements that had been agreed upon long ago at the banquet. Then they accepted interviews from media reporters, saying that they were very happy to promote friendly cultural exchanges between the two countries and so on.

There were no accidents during the process and everything went quite smoothly, but it was also quite boring.

Fortunately, both Ningguang and Villette had already gotten used to such boring and tedious social activities. After all, ZZ is such a boring thing.

Such boring things will happen again when Ningguang and the others are ready to leave. Apart from that, it is "free time".

Since it is in the name of cultural exchange, it is naturally impossible to just come to Fontaine for show. The list of Liyue’s visiting people this time includes top talents in many fields of Liyue, such as music, food, literature, Liyue traditional drama...

Various competitions will also be held, and the purpose is definitely friendship first and competition second, but in reality, who is willing to let the other side ride on their head?

What's more, this is also a matter of face for both countries. You don't have to think about how tense the atmosphere will be at that time.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Funina for now. Even if she goes to the competition, she will be there as a judge, not a contestant. After all, that would be too bullying.

What Funina cares about now is the Qun Yu Pavilion, the possibility of Fontaine avoiding the prophesied crisis, and the immortal technology master from Liyue mentioned by Richard.

"Richard, when do you think it would be appropriate for us to go visit them?" asked Funina.

She didn't think that as the water god, she had to have people visit her.

After all, she was asking for help from others, so she naturally had to show the corresponding attitude. Funina still understood the principle of respecting the wise and humble.

"Lady Furnina, please make your own decision. And why 'we'?" Richard was looking at the newspaper, which had reported on the exchange delegation from Liyue.

The people came in the morning, the special edition of the newspaper came out at noon, and Richard read it in the afternoon.

I have to say that in terms of efficiency, Steambird Newspaper is indeed much more efficient than Mo Mang Palace. After all, the official newspaper of Mo Mang Palace is still in the drafting stage, and it is estimated that it will take at least until tomorrow for the official report to come out.

"Of course it's us. You're not going to go, are you? Didn't you say you would introduce your friend to me?" Furniture came up to Richard, stretched out her hand to push down the newspaper in his hand, and said while looking at his face.

She found that since they got to know each other, this guy took her less and less seriously. Even the "Lady Funina" he called her seemed a little frivolous. Now he even dared to respond to her while reading the newspaper.

However, even though she discovered it, she really couldn't do anything about this guy. After all, the current situation is a seller's market. In this office, she is not the one who calls the shots, not to mention that it is now Furnessa who asks Richard for help.
