This answer only made Funina more flustered.
Yes, I really worked very hard... but... but... how did you know about this?!
This was her biggest and most important secret—and seeing that she had not only failed to find out anything, but had also made her even more panicked, Funina's brain suddenly went blank.
What should we do next? Should I just go and ask, "How did you know?"
No way! Maybe he just stumbled upon this by sheer luck?
Kyoko:?
Apricot: What do you mean?
Back in her own world, sitting on the stone steps of an abandoned church, with a basket of bubble oranges given to her by Funina beside her, the red-haired girl stuffed an unpeeled bubble orange into her mouth while frowning slightly as she looked at the messages in the chat group.
Kyoko: Is there a problem with Kafnina?
Although she sensed that her new friend seemed to be hiding something, and that despite being a god, she seemed unusually weak, Kyoko, being mindful that everyone has their own unspeakable secrets and considering the feelings of others, naturally wouldn't ask.
But when Xingzi saw Jiang Qiao's information, she sensed something unusual.
She may be curious about this, but she is more concerned about it.
After all, as a lone wolf, Kyoko doesn't actually have many friends... or rather, it would be more accurate to say that she doesn't have any friends at all right now.
Funina was practically her only friend... Well, the others in the chat group seemed alright too, so it was somewhat better.
—But no matter what, if Funina gets into any trouble, Kyoko doesn't intend to stand idly by.
Seeing the apricot bubble, Funina panicked a little.
Let's set aside whether this man knows anything or not.
If they were to press this further...
Recalling Fukaros's warning, a flustered Funina hurriedly replied.
Funina: Hmph~ How could there be a problem? I am the Goddess of Justice, Your Majesty!
Funina: How could the God be tired!
Apricot: Really?
Frynn: How could the God of Justice lie! Lying is the act of a dog!
Funina: Ahem, but it must be quite tiring for a dazzling deity like me to be constantly in the public eye, receiving so much attention! (Proudly)
Funina responded in this way, trying to suppress the matter.
Walnut: Hey, what are you guys talking about? Let me see...
Walnut: Oh...the water god of Fontainebleau...
Hu Tao: Indeed, I've heard that the Water God of Fontaine is very beloved by the people of Fontaine and is completely different from our Emperor of Liyue.
Walnut: But speaking of which, since you're the water god, you should know our Rock King, right? (Looking forward to it)
Frynn: The Geo Archon of Liyue... Hmm, as one of the Seven Archons, of course I know him.
—Without a doubt, Funina did not know the oldest of the Seven Gods.
In reality, she was just an ordinary person who, in order to play the role of a god, didn't even dare to leave Fontaine, let alone go to the other Seven Gods' territories.
What if we get caught?
Funina had absolutely no confidence that she could fool the other seven rulers of the mortal world!
However, Frynn was completely unaware of the Seven Gods' interpersonal relationships, and even had very little knowledge of Fukaros. When faced with Kurumi's question, in order to avoid arousing suspicion, she could only pretend to be very familiar with your Geo God.
After all, I am Fucarus, the goddess of water!
This relaxed state naturally made it easy for Hu Tao to trust her, but it also brought some trouble to Miss Funina. For example, the very curious Master Hu started asking Funina all sorts of questions, mainly because he wanted to know more about his own Rock King Emperor.
After all, the people of Liyue have a very strong faith in the Geo Archon.
If only I could hear some secrets about my Rock Lord from the Water God, who is also one of the Seven Gods...
Funina was clearly at a loss in this regard.
She was just trying to fool them, using the names of the Seven Gods to bolster her own image as the Water God. How could she possibly know anything about the Rock King Emperor?
But after thinking about it, Funina suddenly had an idea.
Anyway, since the emperor is far away and I've heard that the Geo Archon rarely shows himself and has no contact with the residents of Liyue, well... since I've already made up the relationship, I might as well just make up some other little stories.
Anyway, the Rock King Emperor definitely won't know!
As a big star in Fontaine, Funina has quite a high talent for creation in this area. She also remembers that when she had nothing to do, she read books and collected inspiration in the Fontaine Library. She even saw a few historical books that were supposedly from Liyue. According to Melusin, who was in charge of maintaining them, they were called something like... unofficial history.
In order to understand the other seven gods and thus better assume the role of the water god, she deliberately studied a lot of their works, including those of Inazuma, Mondstadt, and Sumeru.
What, Thor can't cook... and he's inseparable from his retinue; the reference point for the Anemo statue at the entrance of Mondstadt Cathedral is actually...
Recalling what she had read in unofficial histories about Liyue.
It seems that... the demon god named Ruotu Dragon King actually had an affair with the Rock King Emperor, the Rock King Emperor was actually a woman, and there was also a special relationship with the Stove Demon God...
Hmm... does that Geo Archon from Liyue play such elaborate tricks?
Fulina gasped, thinking to herself, but ultimately stopped thinking about it and just casually took the wild enough history to fool Hu Tao.
Meanwhile, Hu Tao, who was in the Hall of Rebirth, was watching with great interest.
Although it seems a bit unbelievable—but since this was revealed by a water god who has a good relationship with the Rock King, it must be true, right?
Do you even know what it means to have divine endorsement for authenticity?
"Hmm~ Master, what are you looking at?" A gentle girl's voice rang out from the side. What came into view was a gray-blue-haired girl wearing a Cantonese embroidered fairy dress. Her appearance made Hu Tao a little excited - one of the two new guest elders recruited by the Hall of Rebirth.
Well, should we say they came back?
The original guest, Zhongli, bought the thing called "spirit" from her after seeing it in her hand, claiming that he liked it very much. However, because he didn't have the money, he took two years' advance from his salary.
Hu Tao originally didn't want to accept money from this knowledgeable elder, since she had just picked it up casually anyway. But the other party insisted on paying, and even offered to pay for two years...
Well, of course, that's not the most important thing.
After Hu Tao, who was initially a guest, returned from a period of leave, she brought back a very cute girl with an ancient Chinese style.
According to the introduction, the person named 'Gui Zhong' was very similar to Hu Tao in personality. They hit it off immediately, and since the person's knowledge was comparable to that of a guest, she simply kept him in the hall as a guest as well.
However, unlike Zhongli Keqing, Guizhong rarely keeps track of her purchases and always pays on the spot. Hmm... she's completely different from Zhongli Keqing.
"Hey, Sister Guizhong, let me tell you something..." Hu Tao, who gets along very well with Guizhong, enjoys spending time with her—although the latter often goes to Yujingtai to chat with that merchant named Granny Ping, she's been coming back earlier these days.
When something interesting happened, Hu Tao immediately told Gui Zhong the anecdotes she had heard from Fu Ningna:
"Our Rock King Emperor actually..."
Gui Zhong's expression was initially puzzled, but the more he listened, the stranger it became, until finally he simply raised his sleeve and covered his face.
'puff'
"Master, who told you this?" Gui Zhong, who was naturally lively, couldn't hold back any longer after hearing those wild stories and couldn't help but ask.
As a result, Hu Tao said:
"Hey, don't disbelieve me, this is what the water god of Fontaine told me."
"The water god... Fucarus?" Gui Zhong was somewhat surprised.
She initially thought this was something Hu Tao had heard about from somewhere, but it turned out to be... another one of the Seven Rulers of the Mortal World?
Could this really be true...?
Recalling Morax and Rota from the past... Gui fell into a brief silence, then covered his face with his sleeve...
'puff'.
Haha, no, I have to tell Morax about this... Oh right, and Ah Ping too, Ah Ping will definitely laugh out loud when she hears this, hahaha.
—It is foreseeable.
After learning of this incredibly wild 'Records of the Rock King Emperor' from Gui Zhong's mouth.
The guest advisor named Zhongli fell into a long silence.
And to this.
Looking at Funina frantically posting strange and unusual messages to Hu Tao in the chat group, Jiang Qiao couldn't help but sigh—"Your history is pretty wild."
"Jiang~Qiao~"
A sweet, girlish voice rang in my ears—Alicia smiled.
As a fellow member of the chat group, Jiang Qiao's movements within the group were clearly impossible for her to keep secret.
"You seem to know that child named Funina quite well."
"Ah."
He admitted it! This scoundrel actually admitted it!
The headlights, large enough to be seen by a young girl, flickered, which annoyed Alicia.
You're not acting at all, are you?
