"Don't worry, even if she really is a dragon, I will take action immediately if she tries to disrupt the peace of Fontaine. Besides, she hasn't done anything yet. It's not the style of a Supreme Judge to suspect someone without evidence."
"Then I'm relieved. Vilette, I'll leave this matter to you."
"Hey, she's looking at us! She's coming this way! Violet, she's not going to attack us, is she?!"
"Lady Funina, and Lady Vilette, hello both of you. It's an honor to meet you here."
"I wonder if there's enough room for me here, you two."
Bai Zhi walked to the two of them and said very politely.
She didn't use an official announcement this time; instead, she came here with some staff from the General Affairs Department to recruit a large number of engineers for Fontaine.
Although Liyue has immortals like Liuyun Jiefeng, most tasks still need to be done by ordinary people. Therefore, it is still necessary to recruit a large number of mechanical engineers for Liyue.
Bai Zhi never expected that she would run into Vilette and Funina on her very first day here.
"Of course, I allow it. Please have a seat, you're an outsider..."
“I am a businesswoman, Miss Funina, you may call me Bai Zhi.”
"Alright, Bai Zhi, as the water goddess of Fontaine, the queen of all waters, all directions, and all laws, I welcome you here."
Seeing that Bai Zhi was very friendly, Fu Ningna couldn't help but relax a little.
At least in her current view, Bai Zhi's arrival in Fontainebleau was not intended to cause trouble.
“Miss Bai Zhi, I also welcome you, but I’m curious, what exactly do you want to do here?”
Villette, however, seemed somewhat serious. He found it hard to understand why someone as powerful as Bai Zhi would need to do business.
With such power, there are plenty of people willing to throw money at you.
"I'm just an ordinary businessman. However, besides recruiting some Fontaine engineers, I also sell some interesting items. I wonder if you two would be interested?"
Bai Zhi smiled and said, "This time, I'll play the role of a mysterious merchant."
As a dragon, the waters of Fontainebleau seem to be under her control after her transformation.
That way, you can do a lot of things.
"You're selling things? What are you selling?"
After realizing that Bai Zhi was not hostile, Funina became interested, and then Vilet said that this girl was a dragon.
As a dragon species, it must be very different from ordinary people, and the things it sells must also be extraordinary.
“I sell a lot of things.” Bai Zhi clapped her hands and took out several cards.
“Some small power, such as flight, Miss Funina, come and take it and use it.”
Bai Zhi handed a card to Fu Ningna.
"You're just being mysterious. I'd like to see what kind of power this is."
Funina glanced at Navelette, and seeing that Navelette did not react, she took Baizhi's card with a straight face.
179. Gift a Funina ring.
"Huh...."
After receiving the card from Bai Zhi, Funina made a sound of surprise.
"Furina, what's wrong?"
Navelette looked over with some interest, only to see Funina float up from her seat with a curious expression on her face.
"It's nothing. I've encountered all sorts of situations before. It's just a simple flight."
Fu Ningna coughed twice, regained her balance, and slowly floated back to her seat. Bai Zhi could clearly see that Fu Ningna's gaze was bright and sparkling, seemingly filled with anticipation and curiosity.
“I have many more cards here. This one can grant a person the power to temporarily control fire, this one can fly, and this one... Miss Funina can't afford the price, so I won't mention it.”
Bai Zhi casually took out a handful of cards and placed them on the table; they were cards she had made in her spare time.
"Hey, you! You said you were going to sell something, so why didn't you introduce it? Besides, who am I? I'm the Water Goddess of Fontaine, rich in the four seas. What is there that I can't afford?"
Funina looked completely unconvinced.
"Really? Miss Funina, the power of this card is..." Bai Zhi drew out a seven-colored card with a dog pattern printed on it.
"It can save a person from death once. During its effect, no matter how terrible the harm suffered, the blessed person will not die. Miss Funina, how much do you think such a thing is worth?"
"Can you afford such a price?"
"Huh? You must be talking nonsense. To spare someone on the verge of death from dying again? There's no such thing as a god. I've never even heard of it!"
Funina put her hands on her hips and said with great disdain.
But the feeling of soaring into the air after using the card left a deep impression on her.
A thought flashed through her mind: what if it were true?
But she immediately dismissed this ridiculous idea. Although she had no power, as someone who had ruled Fontaine for 500 years, she still knew far more than ordinary people. Even if such power existed, how could it appear here so easily?
They're definitely lying!
"Hmm, I know Miss Funina might not believe me, but I do have a little bit of skill that can help you solve a lot of problems."
Bai Zhi did not force Funina to believe her.
Fufu can't be that stupid to trust a stranger on the first meeting, right?
Hmm...maybe, perhaps...
"This is my first time in Fontainebleau, and many people here have left a deep impression on me."
"Hmph, this is Fontaine, a place with perfect laws and happy people. Of course it will leave a deep impression on you."
Hearing Bai Zhi's praise, Funina felt a little smug. She was used to being praised by others, but as Vilet had said, Bai Zhi might be a very powerful dragon. She rarely heard praise from such a being.
Navelette was also an old-fashioned person who only discussed the matter at hand and rarely praised others.
"Of course, these impressions come not only from people's enthusiasm and their character, but also from... some profound physical impressions. Miss Funina, as the water goddess, surely knows some of their surprising little secrets~"
"What...what are you talking about? I don't know any little secrets. Vilette, let's go. This person is too strange."
Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words and seeing the somewhat amused look in her eyes, Fu Ningna suddenly felt a little flustered.
Could it be that the other party has figured something out?
Vilette was also a little puzzled. Even if the creature in front of her was some kind of fire dragon comparable to a god, Funina was the water goddess. Why was she so flustered?
"It seems Miss Funina doesn't like me, but that's alright. Since it's our first meeting, I'll give you this. I hope you like it~"
Seeing Fufu's panicked look, Baizhi laughed instead.
She suddenly realized that she had a wicked sense of humor, as if a natural talent for causing trouble was spreading in her heart.
If I were to go to hell someday, I'd definitely be a qualified devil, capable of bewitching people.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi took out a ring and handed it to Funina, "If Miss Funina wishes to seek power, perhaps you could wear this~"
"Hey, a ring?!"
Funina was startled by what Bai Zhi had brought her.
This thing probably has special significance in most countries.
"No, no, I can't accept this."
Fu Ningna waved her hands repeatedly, and it didn't seem right for her to accept the ring directly.
Although the other person was a girl, and quite pretty, and the social atmosphere in Fontainebleau was quite open...
"Oh dear, Funina, what are you thinking?"
This is too easy for people to misunderstand.
“Miss Funina, there’s no need to rush to return it to me. You can think about it carefully before you do. I’ve also been recruiting people in this area recently.”
Bai Zhi waved her hand, then stood up and left decisively, not giving Fu Fu a chance to return the ring.
“Furina, if you don’t want to accept it, you can give it to me. I’ll have the administrators at Momang Palace return it later.”
Navelette frowned and said.
He was very curious about the girl who had suddenly arrived in Fontainebleau and called herself Bai Zhi.
But he is also the Supreme Judge, and he will not use unconventional methods to do things unless necessary.
"Very well, let Zhu Yingting keep an eye on this person."
Navelette shook her head and made the decision.
Although the opponent's power seemed to be fire, and also seemed to be dragon, he had absolute confidence in his own power.
Moreover, this is Fontaine, the Land of Water, a geographical advantage that allows his power to be amplified to the greatest extent.
If they are truly enemies, I will make sure they never return!
"No...."
Upon hearing Villette's words, Furness hesitated for a moment, then held the ring in her hand and shook her head, expressing her thoughts.
Although this unexpected visitor was indeed strange, the power that the card had just granted her was real.
If... I possessed some power, I could play the role of the water god even more convincingly.
A thought arose in Funina's mind, and at the same time her heart trembled.
Over the years, she has always expressed her arrogance and disdain for the divine in an exaggerated manner, but in reality, it is just a cover for her inner emptiness.
She never dared to show anything related to power.
But what if something unexpected happens?
180 Disrespectful to the Immortal Master!
In the Mo Mang Palace, Funina played with the glittering silver ring, thinking about what Bai Zhi had said to her earlier that day.
"If you seek power, wear it..."
Furness stroked the ring, which was engraved with beautiful irises, representing Fontaine.
This style is not uncommon in Fontainebleau; in fact, it is quite common.
If someone else had given her this ring and told her that wearing it would grant her power, even someone as naive as her would have scoffed at it.
However, Bai Zhi's strength has been certified by Navelette, making her an absolute powerhouse.
"How about... we give it a try?"
Funina hesitated for a moment, captivated by the feeling of flying she had experienced today.
Looking at the ring in her hand, Funina gritted her teeth and put it on her index finger.
The moment she put it on, some simple instructions for using it came to mind.
"Can I borrow power by silently reciting it in my mind?"
As soon as Funina heard the words appear in her mind, she did as she was told without much hesitation.
If you've already put the ring on and don't do anything else after that, wouldn't that be a complete joke?
Since we've already made this choice, let's see it through to the end.
"Hey, really?"
Funina felt a sliver of energy being drained away, while power gathered in her hand, and a blazing fireball hovered in her palm.
This made her somewhat flustered.
Using that method again, she felt her body slowly levitate, able to fly freely within the Mo Mang Palace as if she were in water.
"Wow!!"
Funin exclaimed in surprise, then smiled.
"what?"
Bai Zhi, who was eating a hamburger in a store, was stunned for a moment. She could feel the spiritual energy that was constantly flowing towards her, which was the price she paid for borrowing power.
