Yes, Lady Funina!

Now... Villette looked at Funina who was chatting enthusiastically with Ningguang. He could clearly feel that Funina was a little different from before. He couldn't tell exactly what was different, but it felt like Funina was dancing with shackles on before, but now it was as if the shackles were half loosened, and she seemed a lot lighter.

That's pretty good.

"I have official business to attend to later. Since you and Ms. Funina are here, there should be no need for me to accompany you." That Villette said to Richard.

Although Navilet was quite curious about how Richard would handle his many relationships with women, including Furninda, he was a self-disciplined dragon and would naturally focus on work when there was work to be done.

And Villette felt that his presence here might hinder the performance of Funina and Ningguang.

"Are you leaving now?" Richard saw that Villette was not joking and was really planning to go back to work.

No, the foreign dignitaries are here. Is it appropriate for you, the supreme judge of Fontaine, to just leave the guests here and go away?

Villette thought this was extremely appropriate. He had done all the necessary etiquette and shown the necessary attitude. Now that Finnina and Richard were around, he could naturally retire with his success.

Moreover, he knew clearly that Ren Ningguang was not coming for him at all, but for Richard. If he kept Richard here, wouldn't it make him, as the host, appear more "hospitable"?

The host and guests were all very happy.

"You...come on." After saying that, Villette stood up and said goodbye to Funina and Ningguang.

Vilette left, but his departure did not cause anyone's dissatisfaction, and Ningguang did not feel that the other party was neglecting her. After all, even if Vilette left, wasn't the water goddess Finina still here?

To put it another way, even if Furninha left, we still have Richard.

“Ms. Funina, two of my friends may come over later,” Ningguang said.

"Are the friends you are talking about the immortals from your Liyue?" Funina's eyes lit up.

"Yes." Ningguang nodded.

Funina had long wanted to meet the technical talent Richard mentioned, so she had no reason to refuse and readily agreed.

During the time they were chatting, it was already time for dinner. Funina had done her homework and knew that the people of Liyue liked to have dinner parties whether they were discussing business or strengthening their relationships.

So he took Richard and Ningguang directly to the dining box in Momang Palace which was specially used to entertain foreign guests.

The space in the box is very large and the interior decoration is very luxurious, but this luxury is relative. At least Ningguang’s original Qun Yu Pavilion was not worse than here, and it was even better.

But that is now a thing of the past. As the Jade Pavilion fell on the Whirlpool Demon God Osel, despite Richard's help, only one tenth of the buildings on it remained, leaving only a foundation. The rest were shattered more thoroughly than the Fontainebleau Academy of Sciences.

After Liyue stabilized, Ningguang also started to repair the Jade Pavilion. It is currently in the bidding stage and it will take some time before the full-scale reconstruction work can be launched.

Not long after Funina and the others arrived at the box, Shen He, who had received the message from Ningguang, also arrived at the dining place. True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng was worried about Shen He, so naturally he followed him.

As soon as he entered the door, Shen He locked his eyes on Richard, and the heart tied with a red rope began to beat accordingly. Time seemed to have gone back to the past, and long-lost and strange emotions gradually emerged, as if something deep in fate began to loosen.

After twenty years, Shen He finally felt the emotion called "excitement" again.

Master Liuyun Jiefeng noticed her disciple's emotional fluctuations. She sighed secretly. As expected, under the restraint of the red rope, only Richard could bring emotional fluctuations to her disciple.

Actually, Master Liuyun Jiefeng had thought of other ways to avoid the fate of 'Guchen Jiesha', and had also tried various means to reduce the side effects of the red rope soul binding, but all of them failed without exception.

Although it is heartbreaking to see the cabbage grow legs and run to the pig to beg for favors, Master Liuyunjiefeng is also fortunate that at least there is someone who can move his disciple. Otherwise, if this continues, Shen He will sooner or later lose the last bit of humanity and turn into a truly beautiful sculpture.

When True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng saw Richard looking at him, he said, "Why are you looking at me? Go look at Shen He."

The tone of her voice was so resentful that people who didn't know would think that Richard had abandoned her.

But in fact, it was Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng who was jealous of Richard's position in Shen He's heart. She had raised Shen He for twenty years but was not as good as a hands-off boss.

Very angry.

"Long time no see." Richard nodded towards Shen He.

"Long time no see. Thank you so much for what you did back then." Shen He nodded. Her pretty and cold face still showed no emotion. However, Master Liuyun Jiefeng, who was familiar with her, could see that Shen He's facial lines had become much softer, and even her tone had some life in it.

"You're welcome. How have you been these years?"

"Master treats me very well, but I miss you a little."

Finnina looked at Richard, then at the guest who came from afar, and listened to their conversation. Even though she was slow, she realized that something was wrong.

There won't be anything going on between these two people, right? Fu Nina suddenly felt a sense of crisis in her heart, and she couldn't help but look at Shen He carefully.

First of all, it's her hair. Her hair is white like hers, but hers is gray while hers is a beautiful milky white. As far as hair is concerned, they each have their own merits, and Funina feels that hers is better.

Then there is the face, well... very delicate, but without any expression, like an exquisite porcelain doll. Her temperament is the same as Clorinde's, that of an ice beauty, and her figure is similar, but Clorinde's is a little more plump.

However, unlike Clorinde who only looked difficult to get along with, the person in front of him was obviously difficult to get along with in a practical sense. It was almost impossible to detect any emotional fluctuations from him...

"Wow, she looked at me with such cold eyes...Is she going to hit me?" Fu Nina was frightened by Shen He's emotionless eyes and thought that she had made him angry because of her gaze.

However, Shen He nodded politely to Funina as a greeting.

"Huh... a false alarm." The mean person in Funina's heart wiped the cold sweat off her forehead, but on the surface she was still so elegant and decent, but her eyes did not dare to be as wanton as before.

Judging from the brief confrontation just now, Finina has already determined that she is not good at dealing with this cold beauty.

"Richard, won't you introduce these two friends to me?" Furninna asked. She seemed to be reminding Richard, but in fact she was telling everyone present that this was her territory.

Well...even though she was a little scared by Shen He's gaze, this was still her territory.

If you want to steal a man, go somewhere else. Don't come to her to steal him. Otherwise, she will send someone to kick you out.

Richard had no idea of ​​what was going on in Funina's mind. He acted as a middleman between the two sides and briefly introduced Master Liuyun Jiefeng and Shen He to Funina.

This should have been Ningguang's job, but because there were no outsiders present, and everyone on the scene knew someone in common, Richard, so Richard naturally became the link connecting everyone on the scene.

Volume 116: Chapter 6 How can a vegetarian grow so big? (K)

After Richard's introduction, Funina finally understood the relationship between Shen He and Richard. It turned out to be just the relationship between a savior and the rescued. She thought it was something else...

Wait, isn't this even worse?

Funina knew about Liyue's cultural history and knew that there was an old saying there.

I have no way to repay your life-saving grace, so I will only repay you with my body...

Could it be that Miss Shen He, who is standing before me, is thinking the same way?

But the key issue now is not what Shen He thinks, but what Richard thinks.

If Shen He really pledges his love to Richard, will he agree?

Funina looked at Shen He, who had a graceful figure and extraordinary beauty. To be fair, judging from her appearance alone, she felt that few men could resist such a pretty lady.

If he agrees, will Richard go to Liyue, or stay in Fontaine and let Shen He come over?

He should stay in Fontaine. After all, Richard's career is here. He also promised to help him solve the prophecy crisis and signed a contract.

But if Richard is really with Shen He...what should I do?

When Furninna thought that Richard might be with another woman, or even go far away and never see her again, she felt sad and her mood became uncontrollably low, even the alopecia on her head wilted.

The opponent hadn't even started the attack yet, but Funina was already in a state of panic.

"Funina, Lady Funina?"

Richard's voice pulled Funina out of her wild thoughts. She subconsciously thought that Richard was going to ask her to resign and follow Shen He back to Liyue, but she said directly: "I don't agree!"

"?" Richard slowly typed a question mark, not understanding what Furniture disagreed with. "Lady Furniture, what are you talking about? What do you disagree with?"

"I..." Finina reacted and realized that everything that had just happened was just her fantasy. The situation in reality had not developed to that extent. She had overreacted.

Fu Nina said, "I mean, it would be rude if I don't unify your dining needs and dietary restrictions..."

The explanation was far-fetched, but except for Shen He who was ignorant of the world, everyone present was a person with high emotional intelligence and good communication skills, so they did not expose Funina's desertion.

As for Shen He, he had focused all his attention on Richard since he entered the room. As for whether Funina was distracted or what she said, it was irrelevant to her...

Crane doesn't care.

"There is nothing to be restricted by. As the saying goes, the guest should follow the host's wishes. Ms. Funina can make all the arrangements." Ningguang replied with a smile.

"Whatever." Xianyun was actually very curious about Fontaine's food, but she wouldn't say it directly.

"What about Miss Shen He? Is there anything Miss Shen He likes to eat? I can also notify the kitchen to prepare it." Funina looked at Shen He and found that Shen He was looking at Richard, so she hurriedly asked.

Don't look at him anymore. Even if you keep looking at him, I won't let him go.

Hiss, I always feel like the second female villain is trying to break up the couple?

"Me?" Shen He heard Funina asking him, and after thinking for a while, he gave her daily recipes, "Qingxin, Liuli Lily, Liuli Bag... these are what I usually eat."

“……”Even if Funina had never been to Liyue, she knew that these nouns were the names of medicinal herbs in Liyue.

So Shen He usually eats vegetarian food?

Funina looked at Shen He's obscene figure, which was similar to Clorinde's. Tell her that this figure can be achieved by eating vegetarian food?

Is it true that what you eat is grass and what comes out is milk?

Seeing that Funina remained silent, Shen He thought that the food he mentioned might not be sold in Fontaine, so he was very considerate and imitated Ningguang's tone and said: "If not, just arrange it normally. I'm not picky."

Shen He paused, glanced at Richard and said, "I'll eat whatever Richard eats."

Here they are playing the game of husband and wife following each other! Funina almost couldn't hold it anymore, she glared at Richard fiercely. Although it was called "fierce", in fact, with Funina's delicate little face, she couldn't look fierce even if she wanted to, instead, she looked a little fierce.

It's like a three-month-old puppy who sees his bone being targeted by another puppy and starts to tell his owner in a fierce and fierce manner.

Richard saw Fernina looking at him fiercely, and after thinking for a moment, he replied, "Lady Fernina should know what I like to eat."

Of course, during the weekdays, Funina basically had lunch and afternoon tea with Richard every day, so of course she knew Richard's preferences.

Even when she was busy with work, there were several times when she was responsible for ordering food for Richard!

As for why a permanent secretary would be busier than the executive secretary...it doesn't matter!

And Richard said this, Fu Nina wondered if she could understand it this way: Shen He listens to Richard, and Richard listens to herself, so now it is clear whose opinion is more valuable, isn't it?

win!

Thinking of this, Funina's mood suddenly improved. There was a hint of complacency in her eyes when she looked at Shen He. She happily called the servants to inform the kitchen to add a few dishes that Richard liked.

Originally, Mo Mang Palace had its own regulations. The dishes used to entertain foreign guests were arranged early in the morning. They were fixed and particular. It was impossible to add whatever you wanted. After all, Mo Mang Palace was not a restaurant where you could order whatever you wanted.

But the person who said this was Funina, the water god of Fontaine. As long as it didn't cause a major accident and didn't violate the laws of Fontaine, what Funina said was basically equivalent to an oracle... No, this was an oracle.

Obviously, adding a few dishes would not cause a major accident, nor would it violate Fontaine's laws, so the servants quickly went to notify the kitchen.

Ningguang saw everything that happened just now. With her ability to judge people and her vision, she could basically see through all of Funina's little tricks.

This water god is really as lovely as the rumors say.

At this point, Ningguang has basically confirmed that Furninna, as she expected, has unusual thoughts about Richard. Well, these thoughts are similar to hers.

——Everyone wants to turn Mr. into Mr.

After they got to know each other, although Funina felt a strong sense of crisis because of the sudden appearance of her love rival, she did not forget the purpose of this trip.

“Ms. Ningguang, I have heard that the Jade Pavilion can float in the sky and overlook the entire Liyue Harbor. I wonder if it is true or not?” asked Funina.

"It's true, but the Jade Pavilion has not been rebuilt yet because of the disaster some time ago. When it is rebuilt, I will definitely invite Ms. Funina to go up there for a ride." Ningguang thought that Funina was curious about her Jade Pavilion, so she promised to take her up there for a ride after it was rebuilt.

"That would be great, but I'm very curious about how a building as big as the Qun Yu Pavilion could fly into the sky. Of course, if it's not convenient for you to answer, then forget it." said Funina.

"It's not inconvenient to answer. The reason why the Jade Pavilion can float in the air is actually because of a kind of stone that is unique to Liyue. It is called the Floating Stone, which has the ability to float objects in the air. The palace is built on the Floating Stone as the foundation, and the power is controlled by fairy magic. This is the secret of the Jade Pavilion."

Ningguang did not hide anything. In fact, these things could be known with just a little investigation. There was no need for investigation at all, because there were people around Funina who knew about it. Ningguang didn't believe that Funina had not asked Richard.

And seeing that Furninna didn't look surprised, it was obvious that she had known about it for a long time.

The means by which the Qun Yu Pavilion could vacate the sky has never been difficult. The real difficulty lies in whether one has the financial resources to collect the Floating Life Stones and how to obtain the magical power to control the Floating Life Stones.

As a special stone in the Liyue area, Floating Stone will never be sold to the outside world. Even if people from other countries can get it, they will only be some scraps.

At present, the main production areas of Floating Stone are basically controlled by Ningguang, and a de facto monopoly has been formed. Only a small part of the mines producing Floating Stone are in the hands of others. Of course, Ningguang does not want to make a profit from the Floating Stone, but to use it all to expand the Qun Yu Pavilion.

After all, apart from Ningguang, no one else would be free to build such an aerial wonder.

As we all know, spectacle spoils the country.

That is why Ningguang can support such a huge project without affecting the normal operation of its subsidiaries, and it continues to expand in an orderly manner every year.

I just don’t know why Funina is asking me this, Ningguang thought.

However, Funina gave the answer the next second, "Then Ms. Ningguang, do you think that Fontaine can build a city in the sky that can accommodate all the people of Fontaine within three years with the whole country's strength?"

"Huh?" Even someone like Ningguang was stunned when she heard what Funina said.

Build a city in the sky that can accommodate all the people of Fontaine? Or three years?!

It is true that Ningguang's ambition is to cover the entire Teyvat under the shadow of the Jade Pavilion in the future, but she has never thought of covering the entire country within three years.

Although the whole country of Fontaine is definitely much stronger than Ningguang's family, this kind of thing cannot be accomplished by just using great strength and flying bricks. There are many practical issues involved, such as whether there are enough floating stones, how to solve the problem of food, clothing, shelter and transportation after getting people up there, and whether the people of Fontaine are willing to go to the sky...

These problems may not be solved properly even if Fontaine is given thirty years, let alone three years. Once any of them goes wrong, it may be a burden that Fontaine cannot bear.
