Genshin Impact: I am an ordinary executive

Chapter 820 Fukalos

"Oh...hehe~" Ying suddenly giggled after realizing what was happening. "So you were considering my feelings, right? Thank you, Zuo Xi."

"Now you know how to thank me? I wonder which crazy woman was trying to drag me down with her just now," Zuo Xi said sarcastically.

He was truly exasperated by Ying's recklessness. Unable to win, she resorted to self-destruction. Wasn't she just taking advantage of their good relationship so he wouldn't abandon her? What a despicable woman.

"You were in the wrong first!" Ying said angrily, her face flushed. "Although I did run away early, so I can say I brought it on myself... but you didn't have to be so harsh! What you said before was clearly meant to provoke me!"

Looking back now, Zuo Xi's words were practically a blatant provocation, a challenge to take action. I bet he was secretly delighted at the time!

“That’s a bit hard to explain,” Zuo Xi shook her head and didn’t continue the topic. “Anyway, let’s rest for a while. I will take care of these people on the ground. I have some other things to take care of. The Fengdan matter is still not finished.”

"Finishing things off?" Sandoni raised an eyebrow.

“Yes, the end.” Zuo Xi nodded. “The prophecy has been fully fulfilled, and the ‘original sin’ of the Fengdan people has been completely erased. But the curse in their blood has not been eliminated, or rather, their innate ‘characteristics’ are still there.”

In other words, they would still dissolve when they encountered the primordial waters of the womb. What Zuo Xi did before only eliminated the near-causal result of "being destined to dissolve completely".

It's like someone being prophesied to be stabbed to death. Solving the prophecy actually solves the "certainty," but it doesn't mean that the person will be immune to knife wounds afterward.

If we really want to be free of worries, we still need to resolve the "bloodline" issue of the Fengdan people... no, now it's the Fengdan people.

"Huh? So that means they'll still dissolve in the sea?" Paimon understood quickly this time, but her jumpy nature still made her seem a bit silly.

“Yes, so this problem must be solved…” Zuo Xi was halfway through his sentence when he noticed Ying Zheng looking at him with a squinty smile. “Why are you smiling so disgustingly?”

"So you really are worried about everyone. Seriously, Zuo Xi, when are you going to get rid of this stubborn habit? Wouldn't it be better to be more frank?" Ying smiled, half relieved and half regretful. She was relieved that Zuo Xi was still so kind, but regretful that he was still so stubborn.

"...If you have nothing to do, do a couple of math practice tests, or cook me a couple of dishes if you can't." Zuo Xi was speechless. Couldn't they have stopped making such obvious accusations?

Ying ignored Zuo Xi's reaction, or rather, she was quite pleased to see Zuo Xi's secretive behavior.

"So what do we do? Use Fontaine to get the Heart of God?" Sandone, too lazy to pay attention to the blond guy who was grinning like a pervert, turned to ask Zuo Xi what she planned to do.

She didn't know much about the situation, and frankly, she didn't care what would happen to Feng Dan. But since Zuo Xi wanted to do it, she was naturally willing to help.

Moreover, judging from the dialogue and the prophecy, it's not hard to deduce that the people of Fontainebleau have a special body that dissolves in a special type of seawater.

Since it's seawater, and Fontaine is a country of water, the most obvious thing to think of is the Heart of God.

"Well, I plan to go and meet the god himself."

“The deity herself…” Ying looked at Funina, who was sleeping soundly in Zuo Xi’s arms and didn’t seem to be waking up anytime soon. “Then we really have to wait for her to rest.”

“It’s not her. She is indeed the deity in the public eye in Fontaine for the past five hundred years, but the person on the throne is not Funina.” Zuo Xi walked towards the Opicley Opera House, which was now in ruins, and said to the three people behind her without turning her head: “If you’re curious, come and see for yourself, and witness this ruthless and helpless deity.”

Without hesitation, Sandone followed Zuo Xi, and Ying and Paimon nodded to each other and followed as well.

They walked through the ruins of the opera house, the broken walls and rubble always being pushed aside by an unknown force as they passed by, until they finally arrived at the place where the stage used to be, and directly in front of them was the Cardinal of Decree and Judgment.

Before they could even have any questions, the mechanism that Linni had used for her performance on stage suddenly activated on its own, and Zuo Xi led them back to the place they had investigated earlier—the modified underground space, the secret location of the mechanism for that large-scale magic trick.

"Could there be gods here?" Paimon looked around. They had searched extensively during their previous investigations. Could gods stay in a place like this?

"Maybe we haven't arrived yet." Ying looked around, her gaze finally settling on the ventilation duct. "It can only be here, right? Is that god at the end of the duct?"

Come to think of it, I ran into Zuo Xi here once before. I didn't know why at the time, but now that I think about it, he was probably searching for the real god who had just met Fontaine, alive and well?

Paimon noticed Ying's gaze and looked over, his tone becoming hesitant: "Zuo Xi, are we... going to crawl through?"

Putting aside how Zuo Xi crawled through the ventilation duct while carrying someone, it just felt a little...undignified for the group to crawl through the ventilation duct like dogs.

"Go ahead and drill if you want," Zuo Xi rolled her eyes at her. "Relax and don't resist."

Before the three of them could ask anything, they felt a sense of disorientation. When they came to their senses, they found themselves in a space that was no different from the opera house lobby, only more dreamlike.

Don't ask them why they know this is another space and not the original opera house, because the original one is already in ruins and couldn't possibly be this intact.

In the center of the hall, a barefoot woman wearing a pale blue dress that was almost white, with a figure and appearance exactly the same as Funina in Zuo Xi's arms, stood quietly.

She turned around and slightly lifted her skirt:

"Welcome everyone, I am Fucarus, the god of Fontaine."
