Chapter 20 What is the end of loneliness?
"Le Yi"
"Uh...who's calling me?"
"Le Yi, Le Yi"
Qiuhe slowly opened his eyes and found that it was Claire calling him. Claire gently placed her hand on his forehead.
"Lei, you didn't get sick again before your injury even healed yesterday, did you? Your temperature is normal, you don't have a fever," Qiuhe slowly sat up and told Claire that she was fine.
Qiuhe's injuries had all healed and he could no longer feel any pain. Qiuhe himself found it amazing that his injuries had completely healed in just one night.
"Then let's hurry to the training ground. Everyone's going to practice combat skills today," Qiuhe said, also remembering the importance of combat practice.
Akikawa, dressed, followed Clévy and Peruvé to the training ground. The children there slowly followed their coaches to their training sessions.
At this moment, they saw Tian Yaochen, Cindy, and Kaile, but not Qie Hui. Qiuhe asked Tian Yaochen in confusion, "Why isn't Qie Hui with you?"
"Che Hui, he was taken away by a coach who said it was a special training program his mother arranged for him, and he's the only one being coached."
Qiuhe couldn't help but wonder what kind of special training it could be, watching as the surrounding children were slowly led away by the coach.
Kujavina also appeared, holding a one-handed sword. "Good children, today I will be your swordsmanship teacher."
The children using one-handed swords were overjoyed to discover that their swordsmanship was taught by their mother. At that moment, Qiuhe remembered. The swordsmanship Lynette used in the game was called Swift Salute Thrust.
Lynette's swordsmanship was taught by Arecino, which suggests that Arecino also learned swordsmanship from Kugavina when she was young.
After a long period of practice, everyone has learned this sword technique. "Good children, you will also have one-on-one training and sparring this afternoon, understand?"
"Understood!" the children shouted in unison. During free time, Tian Yaochen also shared his thoughts with Qiuhe.
"Leyi, I'm very happy that my mother taught us swordsmanship, but I always feel like I'm not performing well in it."
"Tian Yaochen, you also practiced swordsmanship when you were a child. What was it like back then?"
"That sword technique was taught to me by my bastard older brother. He told me it was called the Cloud Coming Sword Technique, and I felt I could use it quite well."
"But now that things have suddenly changed, I feel a bit powerless."
Upon hearing this, Qiuhe also recalled the sword technique—it was the one Keqing used. However, remembering that Tianyaochen was a child of Liyue, he naturally learned Liyue's swordsmanship.
"I haven't practiced swordsmanship much. I think the swordsmanship my mother taught me is pretty good. Tian Yaochen, you can get used to it gradually."
Qiuhe then seemed to have thought of something, and finally said goodbye to Tian Yaochen, telling him that he had to go out for a while. He also asked him to pass on a message to Claire, Lily, and Peruvian, saying that he would be back before noon.
Qiuhe then headed towards the beach, intending to conduct an experiment. After searching the beach for a while, he finally found a puffy beast lying on a rock, sunbathing.
Qiuhe slowly walked to the swollen beast's side and stroked its belly. The swollen beast's tail wagged slightly. Qiuhe then closed his eyes. He was trying to transfer his consciousness into the swollen beast.
At this moment, the eyes of the swollen beast gradually trembled, and its pupils gradually changed into human pupils. When Qiuhe opened his eyes, he found that he had succeeded; he had actually transferred his consciousness into the body of the swollen beast.
But he wasn't satisfied, because his body was still outside. If he wanted to use this skill in combat later, his body would be in a very dangerous environment.
He then shifted his consciousness back to his own body, this time attempting to possess the Beast's entire body to achieve 100% fusion.
With a thought, Qiuhe gathered energy around him and continuously used the Void Rift Intertwining technique. His body then became ethereal, and the surrounding environment changed according to his energy.
Gradually, Qiuhe's entire body began to enter a state of ethereal transformation. In an instant, Qiuhe's body transformed into countless star particles, directly enveloping the Pengpeng Beast. Once these star particles completely merged with the Pengpeng Beast...
When Qiuhe opened his eyes this time, he was extremely excited to find himself not in his own body, but inside the body of the chubby beast. He slapped the ground with his tail and emitted joyful sonic booms.
Then Qiuhe, propelled by the swollen beast's body, slowly entered the water. He discovered that he could not only breathe underwater, but also swim several times faster than before.
He was so engrossed in this dreamlike experience that he swam for quite a while before finally slowly returning to shore.
Then, I imitated the movements of the bouncy beast and lay down on the rocks, enjoying the feeling of my belly basking in the sun. I also felt incredibly relaxed.
Suddenly, she felt as if something was blocking the sunlight from her face. As soon as she opened her eyes, a hand was already stroking her head.
Looking at the girl in front of me, with her heterochromatic eyes, light blue jellyfish-like hair, a crown on her head, a blue dress, white underwear, and white shorts, and that signature ahoge (cowlick) on her head...
"Furina?"
Qiuhe noticed that there were still a few tears in Funina's eyes. "486 years, it's been 486 years already, why is it still like this? When will it finally end?"
As Qiuhe felt the girl's tears falling on his head and listened to her sobbing words, he realized that Funingna had been posing as a god for 500 years in a mortal body.
486 years have passed, meaning there are still 14 years left. Judging from his current appearance, one can imagine the immense mental torment that 486 years of disguise must have taken on him.
Qiuhe slowly withdrew himself from the body of the puffy beast. The energy in his body gathered not far behind Funina, slowly forming a human figure.
Qiuhe opened his eyes and looked at the heartbroken Funina in front of him, watching her weeping figure. He felt a strange sense of déjà vu.
"Have I ever seen a girl cry like this before? Who was that girl?" At this moment, a bunch of memories that he had never seen before flashed through Qiuhe's mind.
Seeing Funina squatting on the ground crying not far away, I felt very distressed and wanted to help her, but I didn't know how or what I could do.
Then, Qiuhe seemed to remember something and spoke up from behind, "Is that Lady Funina?"
Hearing a sound coming from not far behind her, Funinna quickly wiped away her tears and turned around to see a child.
"Who are you?" Qiuhe asked with a smile. "Hello, Lady Funingna, my name is Qiuhe. I came to the beach, but I heard some noises here and saw you."
"I'm your fan. I was so happy just now, but I didn't know how to say it," Funina said, looking at the boy with the sincere smile in front of her, and slowly put away her sad face.
She reverted to her previous arrogant and haughty self: "Ahem, before you stands Fontaine's most noble water goddess, and Fontaine's brightest star, Fontaine, Fontaine."
Seeing that Funina had returned to her energetic self, Akikawa was very happy. She slowly walked over and sat down next to Funina. "Lady Funina, may I have a chat with you?"
Fulina listened with a puzzled expression, wondering what Fulina wanted to talk to her about. "I've had a secret for 500 years, and now I feel terrible. I really want to confide in someone, so I was wondering if Lady Fulina could be someone I can confide in?"
Upon hearing this, Funina felt he was mocking her; after 500 years, he still looked like a child not even 10 years old.
"Hey, kid, are you making fun of the great Water God? Although Fontainebleau has laws protecting minors, the great Water God will be angry if you do this."
Qiuhe smiled slowly after hearing this, and gently channeled the energy in his body into his fingertips, transforming it into a very agile black-purple fish that circled around Funina.
Then it returned to Qiuhe's hand, turning into starlight in the sky. Funina was very surprised to see this, but then she realized that this didn't seem to prove anything, even though he didn't appear to have the Eye of God.
But what kind of people doesn't Teyvat have? Seeing Fryna's arms crossed and still looking incredulous, Qiuhe said just one sentence that forced her to believe him.
"Lady Frinina, you have completed the task entrusted to you by Lord Fucaros 486 years ago, haven't you?"
Seeing Funina's wide eyes and her face filled with fear and unease, he said, "Lady Funina, please don't worry. I was just trying to prove myself. I won't say it again."
Seeing the boy's sincere smile, Funina felt a little relieved and began to listen to his troubles.
