Chapter 57 Pure Water Celebration Chapter 5

Navelette had seen the joy on Funina's face before, but he seemed to be able to see the true joy deep in her heart from this smile.

Navelette did not disturb Funina, who was engrossed in the beautiful melody. She simply gazed at her quietly, and as the last note faded away, Funina's hands came to rest like a weary bird returning to its nest.

As the music faded, Navelette slowly raised her hand and gently knocked on the door. Funina, as if waking from a dream, opened her eyes and saw Navelette. "Navelette? Is there something you need?"

“Ms. Funina, a seat at the Grand Hotel de Bois has been reserved for you. I noticed you seemed to be engrossed in that beautiful melody, so I didn’t disturb you.”

“But since you seem to be finished by now, I’m just reminding you that it’s lunchtime.” Funina replied casually, “Oh, let’s go then.”

Funina carefully put away the pipa, then followed Villette out of the room. However, Funina remained silent the whole way, and Villette seemed to sense her slight sadness.

Then Furna slowly grabbed Villette's collar. Villette noticed and glanced at Furna out of the corner of his eye, but he couldn't fathom her state of mind.

After all, the heavy responsibility on Furna's shoulders and the abyss of loneliness in her heart could not be understood by anyone except Qiuhe. Furna's low mood was also because she could not find Qiuhe at the Opikley Opera House.

Navelette gently took Funina's hand in the end. He didn't know why, but he felt that it might soothe her.

When Funina felt the warmth of his hand, her heart was stirred like a spring breeze. She smiled slightly and said softly, "Thank you for your companionship all these years, Violet."

Upon hearing this, Navigette did not respond. His mind was blank, unable to grasp the deeper meaning of her words. He simply led Funina towards the Grand Hotel de Bois.

Meanwhile, Qiuhe followed Ranach all the way, but at several intersections ahead, he discovered that Ranach and his group had gone down several different roads.

Akikawa was also in a dilemma, since everyone entering each passage was carrying a bucket of ice cream. But Akikawa made a very decisive decision at this moment.

"Peruveli, you go to the right passage, I'll go to the left. If you see them making any moves, stop them immediately, but be very careful!" Qiuhe said seriously to Peruveli.

Looking at the numerous passages before her, Peruvieri couldn't help but worry: "But how are we going to deal with so many passages? How can the two of us possibly manage them all at the same time?" she asked anxiously.

Without hesitation, Qiuhe replied, "Now is not the time to think about these things. Let's focus on solving the problem at hand." After saying that, he quickly ran towards the left passage, leaving Peruvier alone to face the right passage.

Qiuhe followed the passage all the way and finally arrived at the end of the passage that Lanah had walked through. There was a huge well there, which continuously supplied Fontaine with groundwater.

"Boss, this is the groundwater that supplies Fontaine," Lanah reported to the mysterious masked figure behind him.

"And the other channels also supply water to different places."

The masked figure nodded slightly, indicating satisfaction. "Very good, not bad," he said softly.

Suddenly, he pulled a strange device from his pocket and gently pressed a button. Instantly, everyone in the different pipes seemed to receive the signal and began preparing to pour the Les from their buckets into the water.

Upon seeing this, Qiuhe's expression changed drastically. He realized that if he didn't intervene soon, once Les fell into the water, the situation would become uncontrollable.

Finally, Akikawa placed his hand on the sword at his waist and instantly drew his royal longsword. Meanwhile, Claire and her group had been searching for Peruverie for a long time but still hadn't found her.

With noon almost over and the audience and actors having returned to the Opikley Opera House, Clementine grew increasingly anxious. "No, we won't find it if we keep searching like this. I need to go out and look for it."

At this moment, Lily quickly stopped Clementine, "No, Fontaine! Clementine is too big to wander around like this. Maybe Peruvieri just went out on some business and will be back soon."

“If she comes back and can’t find us, then we’ll all be disoriented and won’t be able to find each other,” Navia chimed in.

"Yes, Claire, Peruvier is pretty good, she'll be fine. Let's go back to the stands and wait, she might be back soon."

Although Clementine was still worried, seeing what everyone else was saying, she had no choice but to go back and wait a while. Meanwhile, Kares fell into deep thought, wondering if Qiuhe had done something detrimental to Fontaine.

As time passed and afternoon approached, the battle on Qiuhe's side had reached its later stages. Many Fatui soldiers lay on the ground, but due to their numerical superiority...

Although Qiuhe was slightly more skilled, he was now covered in injuries and panting. "Damn it, these guys actually have evil eyes. This is going to be difficult."

Ranach stared at the corpses lying on the ground. No matter how rich he was, he was still just an ordinary person, and the wealthier people became, the more they feared death. Seeing this scene, he was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.

But the masked man next to him looked smug. "Hahaha, how about that, brat? You probably don't have much strength left now, though I don't know where you came from."

"But a little brat dares to oppose us? You think you're a knight? Hahahaha," seeing the Fool's Thunder Hammer and the Wind Warriors eager to try, the Thunder Hammer one finally charged forward and swung his hammer down at Qiuhe.

Qiuhe swiftly leaped to dodge the attack, then unleashed a devastating slash. Although he was also injured, Qiuhe discovered that his mental strength was now vastly different from before.

I unleashed several powerful attacks during the battle, yet I felt no fatigue. It was as if my mental energy was inexhaustible.

Therefore, every time he uses the Severing Slash, it contains extremely powerful energy. A single strike instantly killed the Thunder Hammer, while the Wind Warrior quickly approached Qiuhe and unleashed a powerful slash.

Qiuhe struggled to parry with his sword, but was thrown back. He managed to regain his balance and land on the ground. Feng Yiren didn't stop, and the two continued their fierce fight.

But at this moment, the surrounding pipes were spraying water, as if they were about to explode at any moment. Due to the intensity of the previous battle, the microwaves from the fight had also reached the nearby water pipes.

Qiuhe managed to repel the wind-wielding man with difficulty, when suddenly a crisp camera shutter sounded behind him, followed by a shout of, "Stop right there!" Qiuhe turned around and saw several men in black wearing sunglasses.

Qiuhe, recognizing them as members of the Rose of the Thorns Society, exclaimed, "You beasts, how dare you tamper with Fontaine's drinking water!" The Rose of the Thorns Society members also noticed Lanah.

"And you, Ranah, you actually colluded with the Fools! Now the evidence is irrefutable, just wait for your trial in the courtroom!"

Finally, they turned their attention to Qiuhe beside them. "And you, Chairman Kares was right, you really are one of their accomplices. Everyone says the Fools are a bunch of freaks, but to actually train a child soldier like you, it's truly an eye-opener for me."

Qiuhe was also dumbfounded, wondering if this guy couldn't tell that he was fighting them? He wondered if this guy was blind or stupid, couldn't he see the wounds on his body?

However, the Fools' group had the Wind Warrior, whose speed was extremely fast. He quickly closed in on the Rose Society members, and the battle between the two sides began.

The members of the Rosethorn Society continuously fired their submachine guns at the Wind Warrior, who skillfully dodged them. As they entered the station, both sides engaged in sword fighting. The Rosethorn Society, with their numerical advantage, inflicted considerable damage on the Wind Warrior.

Even with their superior numbers, they gained little advantage; several people still fell, and the bullets they fired even hit a nearby water valve, where the pressure had already reached its limit.

It was about to explode, and the aftershocks of the battle were causing the passage to collapse. Qiuhe noticed all this and shouted, "Hey, stop! Stop fighting! Retreat now! This place is about to collapse!"

The members of the Rose Society also felt the ground tremble and stones falling continuously from above. Taking advantage of the moment when the Wind Warrior was distracted, Qiuhe directly swung a slashing sword.

The Wind Warrior was caught completely off guard and instantly obliterated by that attack. Seeing the passage about to collapse, the members of the Thorn Rose Society also quickly retreated.

Qiuhe noticed the broken rubber barrels on the ground, littered with rubber. The rubber contained a very high concentration of ozone; if the water here were to burst open and spray out...

That seawater would instantly dissolve everyone in Grey River and Fontaine.
