Furina: It Was All Bai Ye's Fault

The members of the "The Heresy Group" took the opportunity to leave and return to their base to deal with the thieves.

Upon seeing that scene, Bai Ye felt an intense sense of disgust welling up from the bottom of his heart.

A huge hole appeared in the sky, from which purple energy poured down. And Bai Ye was perfectly clear about this energy...

Energy from the Abyss Khaenri'ah.

"What's going on over there?"

Bai Ye pointed to the scene over there and asked Srosh a question.

He almost couldn't resist the urge to rush over immediately and use his own power to suppress the scene.

However, Bai Ye still managed to kill her.

The source of that scene is unknown, as is the sheer power of the Abyss it contains. What if Bai Ye rushes over, only to have all the Abyss power rush towards him?

Bai Ye knew how important she was.

From the perspective of those on the other side of the Abyss, they are willing to pay any price to eliminate themselves.

"On the other side of the Temir Mountains lies the Burning True Celestial Phenomenon that I intend to seal," Srosh replied after glancing around.

"Burning True Heavenly Phenomena?"

Bai Ye asked curiously.

Srosh nodded.

"Yes, it is our mission. That kind of terror is beyond your imagination and coping ability. Only we Srosh, can accomplish the sealing by emulating the divine bird [Simurgh] and consuming our entire existence."

"Come, take up the human tools in your hands, and record and praise our names."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ye and Guizhong couldn't help but glance at it a few more times.

Then,

A conclusion was reached.

This bird is a bit of a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur).

However, he is very responsible.

Bai Ye didn't dislike this guy at all.

"He's a cute guy."

At this moment, the spirit- Rupal emerged from Bai Ye's Serenitea Pot and spoke in a teasing tone.

"Huh? What is this? How can this lamp talk?"

Upon seeing Rupal actually speak, Srosh instinctively flew backward and exclaimed in surprise.

"If even a bird can talk, why can't I?"

"How can these be the same? We are the great Fleur Fair Clan."

"Fleur Fair? I've never heard of that race before."

Rupal shook his head and said.

"Hmph..."

Srosh is very happy.

Then, Rupal continued slowly, "Judging from your background, you must be closely related to the Flower Goddess, right? Coincidentally, we were also the Flower Goddess followers back then."

"Wait, followers of the Flower Goddess... you wouldn't happen to be from the Spirit Suppressing Clan, would you?"

Srosh was just pondering when she suddenly remembered Rupal's identity.

"Yes, I am."

"I see..."

Suddenly, Srosh's arrogance diminished considerably.

The person in front of me is my senior.

However, this low mood only lasted for a few seconds before it returned to normal.

However senior they may be, I still have to personally handle the task of sealing the Burning True Celestial Phenomenon.

Yes, I'm still pretty strong!

Srosh regained her clarity.

"As expected, I Srosh, am extraordinary among the Fleur Fair. When I decide to do something big, many people will surely come to witness my great deeds."

It thought to itself with smug satisfaction.

However, because of this, Srosh found Bai Ye and Guizhong even more pleasing to the eye.

"Come, follow me, I'll show you some wonders you've never seen before."

She spoke to Bai Ye and Guizhong.

"I..." Rupal wanted to reveal Bai Ye's identity, but Guizhong Rupal gave her a look, telling her not to rush to say it.

Rupal immediately fell silent.

The two of them and Zhenling silently followed Srosh towards the direction of the Heresy Group.

When they arrived, Srosh curiously asked Bai Ye and Guizhong about it.

"What kind of hatred is there in your family that can't be resolved? Also, why are you dressing up as a boy to go to school? I don't remember there being any laws in Liyue that prevent women from attending school. You two are definitely dating in school now, so how do you plan to deal with this?"

Upon hearing Srosh's question, Bai Ye looked at his teacher.

Teacher, please explain.

You've said we've become like Romeo and Juliet; how you interpret that is up to you.

However, it was clear that Bai Ye underestimated Guizhong's mischievousness.

Guizhong immediately fabricated a history of the two families.

From the war that began five years ago to the later struggle for the succession of the Seven Stars, and even the fabrication of a mine's ownership, Bai Ye almost believed it all.

Finally, she said helplessly.

"We originally intended to ease the family feud, but in the end we were forced to go to Sumeru. Next, we plan to go to Fontaine."

"You guys, your story is quite legendary."

Srosh was still somewhat skeptical and somewhat convinced, but now that she heard Guizhong speak so confidently, she truly believed in the experiences of Guizhong and Bai Ye.

After thinking about it, it felt it should still help these two 'poor' people.

Srosh said to Bai Ye and Guizhong, "Here's what we'll do: after I sacrifice myself, tell them that you played a very important role in saving the world. At that time, the humans will definitely regard you as heroes, and perhaps you can achieve your goal."

"Well then, thank you for your kindness."

Guizhong.

"Haha, don't you even know who I am!"

Srosh laughed and nodded.

Then, it spread its wings and flew forward.

"I'm going to the [The Heresy Group] first. I'll tell them that you can see it if you keep going straight ahead."

Srosh flew away like that.

After it flew far away, Bai Ye looked at his teacher.

"Teacher, you don't plan to keep it a secret until the final ceremony is performed, and then you'll reveal our identities, do you?"

Guizhong tapped Bai Ye's head and said with dissatisfaction, "Hey, hey, hey, that's too wicked! A prank is only a prank if it makes the other person happy! I plan to keep it a secret until the very end, so that it will always think that it completed the ritual on its own. Our happiness will remain in our hearts."

Hearing the teacher's plan, Bai Ye nodded happily.

The two continued towards the direction of the Heresy Group.

At this moment, Guizhong reached out and grabbed Bai Ye's hand.

Bai Ye looked at his teacher with some confusion.

"Teacher, what are you doing?"

He asked, puzzled.

"We're a couple who eloped under a pretense, so naturally we have to keep up the pretense."

Guizhong said to Bai Ye.

"Huh? You really have to pretend!"

Bai Ye said, somewhat dumbfounded.

Guizhong glanced sideways at Bai Ye: "Of course, when you're acting, you have to go all the way. What, are you feeling cheated?"

"Um."

Bai Ye nodded.

Then, he felt Guizhong bite his palm hard.

After taking the bite, Guizhong kicked Bai Ye's calf.

That finally satisfied her anger. Then, she pulled Bai Ye, who was pleading for mercy, and walked away with Fang from the Heresy Group.

Upon arriving at the camp of the Heresy Group, Srosh was waiting for them at the entrance of the camp.

Beside Srosh was a middle-aged man with a beard.

Upon seeing the man, Asmodeus, the Gods within Bai Ye's body, immediately made his assessment.

"This person is not a paralyzed person."

Not long after, Narilupal also came to the same conclusion.

"There's something off about this guy at first glance. I reckon he's supposed to be helping Srosh deal with that the Heavenly Phenomenon of Burning Truth, but he's probably up to something else behind the scenes. I just don't know if he's planning to steal the credit or get some treasure from the Burning True Heavenly Demon."

"Perhaps there is a third possibility."

Bai Ye squinted at the middle-aged man and thought to herself.

Looking at him, Bai Ye keenly sensed a familiar yet repulsive aura.

This guy, I'm afraid he's secretly colluding with the Abyss.

"Bai Ye I was thinking," Ye thought to herself.

However, on the surface, he and Guizhong walked hand in hand in front of the Heresy Group as if they were truly unaware of the situation.

"Come on, Naxianzhuna, come and witness the witness we have found."

Srosh said to the middle-aged man.

Naxianzhuna nodded with a smile.

However, he was somewhat taken aback when he saw the look in Bai Ye's eyes.

Bai Ye guessed that he had also seen his own version of the scene. It's just that this place is remote, and those who claim to be the reincarnation of the Scarlet King probably haven't arrived here yet.

That's pretty strange.

"That..."

Naxianzhuna wanted to ask a question.

Bai Ye shrugged and said, "Naxianzhuna, you don't want to know what happened back then, do you? I was adventuring in the Scarlet King's ruins with a group of people, and somehow it got broadcast. Because of this, quite a few people think I'm the Scarlet King's reincarnation. Do you think Gods could be a reincarnation?"

Guizhong look at my schoolwork.

Hmm, that's a pretty awkward way of avoiding the main point.

They didn't say that they had obtained the power of the Scarlet King.

"I see. Well, young man, you've become quite famous in the desert."

Upon Naxianzhuna immediately smiled and said...

Actually, he didn't believe that Bai Ye was the reincarnation of the Scarlet King.

Srosh was startled again, and then exclaimed in surprise once more:

"I never imagined there was such a strange sight. I thought you were just an ordinary young couple who had run away from disaster. Well, the stronger you are, the more impressive I am."

"We are just ordinary adventurers."

"Bai Ye I said in a very serious tone."

Srosh nodded, somewhat doubtful.

It believed it.

Naxianzhuna invited Bai Ye and the others into the camp.

He immediately arranged for people to prepare a clean and tidy tent, and also arranged for hospitality.

That evening, the members of the Jiaolun Group and Shinobu Surusa held a bonfire party together.

Around the campfire, Bai Ye and the members of the Heresy Group began to chat.

During their casual conversation, Bai Ye also told everyone that her next goal was to go to Fontaine.

"Going to Fontaine?"

Upon Naxianzhuna smiled slightly, and then spoke to Bai Ye about the situation in Fontaine.

Although they were in the desert, they were close to Fontaine and were quite familiar with the Fontaine.

As they chatted, Bai Ye asked Naxianzhuna, "By the way, what's the situation with their gods? How much do you know?"

"I don't know about that." Naxianzhuna shook her head upon hearing this. "However, it's said that their Hydro Archon often appears before the people, so it's easy to see Hydro Archon. What, are you planning to go see the Hydro Archon?"

"Yes, I'm planning to visit the Hydro Archon."

Bai Ye nodded firmly.

Fontaine, Furina's bedroom.

After a wonderful bath, she wore her pajamas, drank milk, and watched news from various countries.

"Okay, you can go to sleep after drinking the milk. As the Hydro Archon, I must maintain my elegance and absolutely cannot stay up late and get dark circles under my eyes."

"Furina said to herself, with her legs crossed."

Soon after, she saw the news from Sumeru.

"What? The King Deshret has been resurrected! And then there were the Fatui causing trouble, but a boy named Bai Ye took care of it."

"Why does that Bai Ye,' sound so familiar?"

Furina quickly went to retrieve other intelligence.

"Morax's 'assassination' was witnessed at the ceremony of the Bai Ye of Morax!"

"The construction of Gui Lijie in the night."

"Bai Ye Inazuma was taught swordsmanship by the Raiden Shogun, and later even killed the head of the Tenryou Commission, one of the Tri-Commission!"

"..."

" At Bai Ye, he went to the desert and was mistaken for a traitor to the Scarlet King Ahmar."

Furina only saw the last part, and only noticed Bai Ye's recent movements.

"Bai Ye I passed by the place where the Grass Dragon Apep lived, Apep disappeared."

"Ah!"

Upon seeing this, Furina was so frightened that she immediately pulled her outstretched legs back tightly and sat down in her seat.

He curled up into a ball and began to tremble.

"Judging from his actions, is he planning to come to Fontaine? Will he come looking for me then?"

If someone with the skills to kill Apep were to fight me...

Furina trembled even more violently.

She quickly threw herself onto the bed and wrapped herself tightly in the blanket.

"Is he... is he here to kill me? No, no, no! I'll do anything..."

She said, her teeth chattering.

At this moment, Furina felt that nowhere was safe.

Although she felt that Bai Ye couldn't possibly come so quickly, she still had the feeling that Bai Ye was lurking under her bed.

Furina wrapped herself up even tighter.

At this moment, she had absolutely no desire to sleep.

I spent the night worrying under that blanket.

The next day, she emerged from her bedroom looking unwell, dressed in rags.

Ah~

She yawned as she walked.

At this moment, a palace maid, noticing Furina's condition, asked her, "Lady Furina, what's wrong?"

"I..." Furina just noticed that the maid had seen how tired she looked.

Oh no, this is embarrassing.

She felt a little dizzy.

It's all because of that guy named Bai Ye.

Thinking this to herself, she slapped her cheeks hard on the surface.

"Ahem, I was dealing with Fontaine's official business, which is why I stayed up a little late."

"Oh..."

The maid nodded.

He looked completely disbelieving.
