Chapter 54 Pure Water Celebration Chapter 2

This sudden action startled Funina, and a cold glint flashed in Qiuhe's eyes the instant he grabbed Funina's wrist.

However, Funina didn't notice, and Qiuhe was also puzzled by this scene, thinking that this hadn't happened when Clementine pinched his cheek before.

It's normal for Peruvier to pinch her own cheeks; even Tian Yaochen has pinched his own cheeks before. So why did this suddenly happen this time?

"Um, I'm sorry, Funina, I hope I didn't scare you. I don't know what's wrong with me these past few days, maybe I'm not feeling well. I'm sorry I startled you."

Coming to her senses, Funina cleared her throat. "Ahem, I... of course I wasn't scared. How could the great Water God be frightened by such a small gesture?"

Qiuhe glanced at the time one last time and realized it was already 6 o'clock. He had arrived here around 4 o'clock while Clementine and the other two were still asleep.

They only left a letter before they left, and now I have to go back to find them. And thinking about the bottle of Less I dug up from the ground last night, it looks like today's birthday celebration for Funina is definitely going to be anything but peaceful.

However, he couldn't tell him, otherwise he might worry, so he could only take care of those guys in secret.

Thinking of this, Qiuhe took a deep breath and said to Funina in a seemingly casual manner, "Funina, it's already 6 o'clock. I need to go find my friends."

“I told them it’s your birthday today, and they said they really want to meet the great Water God, so perhaps we’ll meet again today,” Qiuhe continued.

“But I came here without telling them. They’re still sleeping. I have to go find them now. You can study that instrument on your own first. I’ll be going now.” With that, Qiuhe turned to leave.

However, the moment Akikawa pushed open the door, he unexpectedly bumped into Violet. The two stared at each other, the air seeming to freeze, the silence awkward and unsettling.

Navelette's gaze swept quickly over Qiuhe and then landed on Funina in the room. She saw Funina intently playing with something that looked like a musical instrument, and since she seemed harmless, Navelette's heart calmed down slightly.

“Young Qiuhe, I expect you to give me an explanation for trespassing into the Water God’s bedroom.” Navelette’s voice was deep and serious, carrying an undeniable air of authority.

Qiuhe was speechless. If he continued to stall for time, who knew how long it would take? What if those guys were currently carrying out some dangerous actions in Fontaine?

Furina then noticed the situation. "Vilette? What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

Upon hearing the sound, Navilette shifted her attention to Funina. At that moment, Qiuhe seized the opportunity to quickly rush past Navilette.

They ran all the way back to their campsite. Navelette tried to stop her, but before she could react, Funina spoke first:

"Naviette, it's alright. Qiuhe came to celebrate my birthday. Look, this is the gift he just gave me. He's in a hurry to find his friend now."

After hearing this, Navelette did not press further, because he realized that Funina was not in any danger. He then whispered to Funina:

"Ms. Funina, today is Water Purification Day, and also your birthday. I'm just reminding you so you won't forget."

Funina smiled and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Vilette. Of course I remember. I'll get ready right away. You can wait for me outside for a bit."

Meanwhile, Qiuhe finally returned to their camping tent. Claire and the other two had already woken up and were quietly waiting outside. Seeing Qiuhe return, Claire immediately spoke:

"Qiuhe, you're finally back! We've all been waiting for you for so long!" Qiuhe quickly explained, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I just ran into some things that I needed to take care of. But don't worry, everything is resolved now."

"Let's go to Fontaine now," Akikawa said, leading everyone to the Opiclie Opera House. Along the way, Akikawa told Peruvéli about what happened the previous night.

"I suspect those guys are carrying out some dangerous mission in Fontaine, given the large crowds at the Opiclie Opera House today, but don't tell Clementi and Lily about it."

Peluvelli then nodded and said, "So, have you decided on your action plan? You said you'd bring them to the Opizley Opera House to see the water god. If it's just the two of us acting alone, they'll definitely come along."

Qiuhe had already devised a plan; all he needed to do was send Clévy and Lily to the Opéra Garnier to see a play. He had already learned this from his conversation with Fryna.

On the day of the Water Purification Festival, people will hold a theatrical performance at the Opipk Clay Opera House to praise the water god and offer gifts to him. So as long as Claire and the others stay at the Opipk Clay Opera House, everything will be fine.

Upon arriving at the Opéra Garnier Opera, Clementine was immediately captivated by the magnificent architecture. "Wow! Akikawa, look! The fountains around here are so beautiful!" Akikawa, however, was focused on the vast crowd.

As expected, many prominent families and wealthy individuals came to attend the Water God's birthday celebration. Qiuhe, having taken precautions beforehand, had been observing the area around the Opizlie Opera House...

They activated the Void Rift Crossing technique ahead of time, constantly sensing for any Fatui nearby. They found nothing unusual for the time being, but spotted a few familiar figures among the crowd.

Navia, Clorind, Myles and Silver, Carles, and Qiuhe also saw an old man leading a girl with pink hair, wearing a maroon dress, and a white feather in her hat.

Qiuhe recognized the girl as Charlotte. "Lei, look! Isn't that the wishing well?" Claire ran to the large fountain in the center of the Opéra Garnier Opera House.

Qiuhe also saw it and remembered that this should be Lujing Spring. Qiuhe couldn't help but think that if it was called a wishing well, then it was like that too, except that it seemed to be used to make wishes.

However, Clementine and Lily were unaware of this. They took out a Mora and threw it into the spring, making a wish upon it. Akikawa, who was nearby, saw this and tried to stop them, but it was too late.

The adults nearby, witnessing this, all cast strange glances their way. Qiuhe, feeling somewhat embarrassed, stammered, "Um, Clementine, this isn't...this..."

Qiuhe was speechless, completely unsure how to explain. Claire looked puzzled, thinking it was just a wishing well. Finally, she took Qiuhe's hand and said:

"Le Yi, make a wish, and make sure it's about us!" Everyone around gasped upon hearing this, glancing at the three girls beside Qiu He.

Then they all cast disdainful glances at him. Qiuhe hurriedly covered his face with his clothes, crying out, "My God of Fontainebleau! What heavenly law have I broken?! Executing me in public!"

Looking around at the numerous reporters, Qiuhe felt that if it weren't for the fact that today was a major holiday in Fontaine, he would be making headlines tomorrow.

(Breaking news! Lu Jingquan is caught cheating on his girlfriend with three women, and the victims are all girls under 12 years old!) Thinking of this, Qiuhe couldn't help but shudder.

Qiuhe thought that if that happened, she probably wouldn't be able to clear her name even if she jumped into the sea of ​​fetuses. Meanwhile, Navia and Claudia in the crowd also noticed the commotion and both turned their gazes toward Lu Jingquan.

Upon spotting Qiuhe and his group, "Lei!" Hearing Navia call out this name, Kares, standing nearby, reacted instantly, his gaze quickly shifting to Lu Jingquan.

He had previously instructed Miles and Silver to keep a close eye on Qiuhe, as he felt the boy was acting strangely. Finally, he heard a report that the boy had asked Navia how much Mora she had.

Even the people who were secretly following Navia reported back that the boy had taken Navia to the Debord Grand Hotel. Kares found it strange that the boy had taken Navia to dinner for no apparent reason.

A few days ago, Navia suddenly disappeared and couldn't be found no matter how hard they looked. Kares searched frantically all day but couldn't find her either. In his anxiety, he even went to the Moman Palace to look for Navia.

The next day, when Navia returned, she told me that she had gone on an adventure with that guy named Qiuhe, and that Qiuhe had actually taken her to fight the Ironclad Molten Emperor.

When Kares heard that his daughter had gone to the deep sea to fight the Ironclad Molten Emperor, his mind went blank, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
