Ying poked her head over the wall and witnessed the whole process of Katarina fooling Xianyun.

She couldn't help but sigh that there are still many good people in this world. They were afraid that the fairy bird's Mora would not be used up, so they helped her spend some.

But on second thought, Katarina is Saphir's subordinate, well, that's okay, this is a typical case of the top beam being crooked and the bottom beam being crooked.

Thinking of this, Ying retracted her head and quickly returned to where little Paimon was.

Xianyun was returning with a few bags of tea. On the way, he passed by a toy stall owned by a Fontaine merchant and secretly bought a new toy, intending to take it back to study.

When Xianyun came back, Ying and Xiao Paimeng had already agreed on their statements and there was no problem.

Little Paimon pretended to be curious: "Oh! Xianyun, did your shopping go well?"

"Of course. I don't like socializing, but it's not like I can't socialize." Xianyun raised his head slightly, looking as if it was a matter of course.

Ying took a look at Xianyun's box and suddenly realized that this fairy bird really seldom interacted with people. Catalina had persuaded her to buy so much tea with just a few words, and it took her a long time to return, probably because she was delayed because of buying something.

Ying is now very sure that Xianyun is easily moved by sales tactics. To put it bluntly, he is a perfect sucker and a fat sheep.

Looking at this bird with such a clear and stupid face, I think of another guy who is also an immortal, but can force other countries to sign unequal treaties, cede land and pay compensation, and even thank her with a smile. Wow, the gap is quite big.

Xianyun didn't know what Ying was thinking, so she asked, "What about you guys? Aren't you here to buy anything?"

"I haven't had time to go shopping, but it seems that there are no kite stalls in Yilong Port... Instead, there are quite a few goods from Fontainebleau." Little Paimeng shared his discovery.

In fact, this is normal. After all, compared to Liyue Harbor, Yilong Port is closer to Fontainebleau. In addition, the opening of the first half of the Louise Line is earlier than the second half, so more people from Fontainebleau will come here.

Hearing the word "kite", Xianyun looked at the two little ones and frowned slightly: "You guys don't want to participate in that kite competition, do you?"

"Also?" Ying caught the key words and looked at Xianyun with scrutiny.

Realizing that he had let the cat out of the bag, Xianyun coughed awkwardly and said, "Ahem... I mean... the kids all want to participate.

Sometimes it jumps and hops, sometimes it wanders around people pitifully and refuses to leave. Who can resist it? I have no choice but to start a handmade kite interest group and teach everyone how to make kites by myself. "

"Oh! Who are the participants?" Little Paimeng became interested and very curious.

Xianyun reported a few names: "Shuyu, Shenhe, Ganyu, Yaoyao, Jiangli. Hmm..."

After reporting these names, Xianyun hesitated for a moment and added, "And Saphir and Keli."

"There are so many people!" Paimon exclaimed subconsciously, and then he felt something was wrong, "Wait, are there some strange names mixed in?"

"Well, that's not important."

Safir, who was called a child by Xianyun, is still on his way to Mondstadt and has no idea that he has been signed up for the kite-making interest group.

"You're a nice person. If you just wanted to participate in the competition, you could have just bought a ready-made kite." Paimon teased.

Xianyun crossed his arms and sneered, "Hey, what kind of mechanical vertical stretching device is this? It's just a crude mechanism made by ordinary people.

"I have studied the thousand-year-old art of mechanical devices. Without mentioning the source of the immortal, let's just talk about the structure of the devices that I created."

She pushed her glasses and began to talk nonstop: "The material used to build it is as light as bamboo and as strong as iron. If you throw it into the sky, it can travel thousands of miles with the wind. As for the method of building it, it follows the six knots and twelve paths..."

As she was talking, she suddenly realized that the two people in front of her could not possibly understand the mystery. If she talked too much, it would only annoy them. So she paused and sighed softly: "Forget it, even if I tell you, I'm afraid you won't understand, and it's a waste of my words."

"You're obviously speaking so freely, but it seems like you've been holding it in your stomach for a long time..." Paimon couldn't help but complain.

After being exposed by Paimeng, Xianyun turned away somewhat unnaturally. She didn't want to do that. As soon as Saphir came back, he was hanging out with the Emperor and didn't come to listen to her nagging. She couldn't find anyone to talk to with all these words.

The other immortals were not interested in these things, and she didn't want to go over to the Emperor and talk about these things.

The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became. Xianyun snorted, "Do you guys want to come or not?"

She has talked about so many mysterious things, shouldn't these two little guys be very interested and ask to join in?

Paimon also reacted at this time: "Ah? So you have been inviting us all along?"

"I'm very interested!" Ying quickly agreed to the invitation. She was really interested in this and it was definitely not just because she felt sorry for the fairy bird.

After receiving a positive answer, Xianyun nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, please prepare the materials, I will take care of it myself.

See you at Aozang Mountain the afternoon after tomorrow."

After saying this, she turned and left.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Paimeng was a little confused: "Xianyun is leaving now? Such a big wooden box, don't you need to hire an escort to help you send it?"

"What a joke! I can come and go freely, why should I rely on others?" Xianyun sneered and turned away. Then, the ordinary-looking box actually floated up and flew away with her.

Seeing this, Paimeng couldn't hold back any longer: "Ah?! This box... turns out to be able to float by itself? How could there be such an invention?"

Xianyun walked away, leaving behind a powerful sentence: "Its name is the Divine Machine of Flowing Wood and Transporting Objects."

"Uh...she's so proud." Paimon's mouth twitched, feeling that he was being played by this woman.

It’s just that... Xianyun walked very coolly, but people around her looked at her strangely.

All I can say is that some people are born to be conspicuous and always do things that attract attention without realizing it, or maybe she just likes this feeling of being the center of attention.

After the other party walked away, Paimeng whispered to Ying: "Let me tell you, there are a lot of mechanical... devices in her box!"

Feeling Ying's meaningful gaze, Paimeng quickly explained: "I didn't mean to peek! I didn't fly steadily and accidentally touched the brocade on the top...

The things inside almost slid out, and I had to help hold them back!"

"Oh...you..." Ying could almost predict what would happen next.

If there's a bump in the road, the things in that box...

I just hope this scene doesn't happen in public. Otherwise, with Xianyun's face-saving personality, he will probably hide in the mountains and forests and not go out for a hundred years.

Paimeng looked at the direction where Xianyun left and commented, "This woman really wants to save face... She talks about some rough mechanism, she must want to buy it back and take it apart to see what's inside."

"That's just the way she is, isn't she?" Ying shrugged, having long been accustomed to it.

Paimon nodded in agreement: "Yes, but to take care of her feelings, let's pretend we don't know.

This is the proper respect for elders, right? "

Ying did not comment. She simply could not understand how Paimeng treated the other party as an elder. He always talked about that woman and that fairy bird. The fact that he had not taught this little guy a lesson yet showed that Xianyun had too good a temper.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, immortals seem to be like this. They look very majestic, but in fact there is nothing that can really anger them. Or perhaps, this good temper also comes from a kind of alienation.

Isn't this a kind of indifference that comes from identity and status? This is what a fairy is like. In comparison, Saphir, who would quarrel and fight with them, is more like a human, right?

Ying frowned slightly. Actually, that couldn't be said. Saphir's attitude towards others seemed to be more complicated. Sometimes she was very friendly, and sometimes she was more indifferent. It was as if there was a strange standard in her heart that allowed her to clearly divide different people and give them different attitudes.

Shaking her head, Ying chose not to think about it anymore. She took little Paimon and started shopping. The Lantern Festival was coming, and she planned to take a good rest and relax by shopping.

In Fontaine, Funina and her group boarded the Louise Line patrol ship, and standing next to her was Aurelie.

"We are going to perform in Liyue this time. This has been arranged long ago as a performance program for the Lantern Festival Gala?" Funina asked Aurelie.

Aurelie nodded, "Yes, Lady Aurora said that the role of the heroine can only be given to Lady Funina."

Fininna frowned slightly and glanced at Delphi who was sitting in a wheelchair and coughing non-stop. "The role of Collio... huh... shouldn't you, as the leader, play it yourself?"

She could see the core of this character, pure, beautiful, kind, and brave. Combined with what Aurelie had experienced and the details of the crimes committed by the Vashé gang recorded in a notebook that Aurelie found when she returned the victim's belongings.

Furninha believes that the character of Collio is a perfect reflection of Aurelie and that she is the best person to play this role.

Aurelie chuckled and shook her head. "We have sung this opera countless times. I understand what Lady Finina means, but don't you think that Collio and you are very similar?"

"Me...?" Furninna was a little surprised. She had never thought about this before.

Aurelie nodded and said, "I have always wanted to thank you and Lady Aurora, but I am too insignificant to do anything for you.

Before, Lady Aurora took time out to come and see me. She said that neither she nor you need us to do anything special. She also read the script and made some suggestions for revisions.

However, her ideas conflict with mine and she doesn’t agree with some of my ideas, so I read her revisions, which may be more popular with the public, but are not beneficial to the characterization of Collio.”

"So you've made your choice?" The patrol boat had already started moving, and a few people started chatting.

Aurelie shrugged, “Of course we have to abide by Lady Aurora’s opinion, the content of our performance has been revised.

Then there was this time...Dilfi was ill and couldn't perform in Liyue, and I didn't plan to perform either. There weren't enough actors, so the modified content couldn't be performed."

"Do you want to perform the modified previous content in Liyue? That guy might be angry." Funina opened her eyes wide. She knew clearly that Saphir had always had a zero-tolerance attitude towards feeding him shit.

Aurelie looked away and looked at the sick Dilfi: "But... Dilfi needs someone to take care of him."

Funina understood what he said. It meant he was planning to act first and report later.

"You tell me all this, aren't you afraid that I will refuse to perform? The consequences of offending that guy are quite terrible..." Funina rubbed her waist subconsciously, her waist ached just thinking about it.

But Aurelie smiled and nodded: "If Lady Funina doesn't participate, Delphi won't need anyone to take care of her."

Furninna looked at Aurelie and got goose bumps all over her body. This person was determined to put a blind eye on Saphir. It was too scary, but...

She felt a thrill in her heart and was looking forward to that scene happening.

After a little consideration, Funina clapped her hands and said, "Done!" She had just carefully read the two scripts before and after the revision. In fact, the beginning was the same, but the ending was slightly different.

Before the modification, Collio sacrificed herself to bring a new water source to the town, which was a happy ending except for Collio.

After the revision, Collio sacrificed herself and completely destroyed the greedy town and its residents. However, because human greed tainted Collio's pure soul, she could no longer return to her past state and turned into a turbid water phantom and went crazy.

This is a completely tragic ending. Both scripts have their pros and cons, and it is nothing more than a collision between self-sacrifice and destructiveness.

Finnina thought both were good, but she preferred the revised self-sacrifice because Collio was nobler and more holy.

Moreover, both Aurelie and Funinna herself, and even Saphir, have done similar things. Aurelie left behind a detailed record of the Vashé case with her death, which, although it was not used, proved the value of her sacrifice.

Funinna spent five hundred years of loneliness and mental torture to buy Fontaine a glimmer of hope. Although her body was just an ordinary human, her spirit was already comparable to that of a god. The reason why Fontaine is still so peaceful and tranquil is because of her sacrifice.

And Saphir did more. Whether it was the battle between Inazuma and General Raiden or the redemption of King Roda in Liyue, they were all based on almost destructive self-sacrifice.

Self-sacrifice and dedication at all costs are the highest point of human morality.

And destructionism is also what Safire did, classic case: Blood and Fire.

Funina guessed that perhaps Saphir was not unwilling to see Aurelie adopt the original script, but there was a restless emotion in her heart that made her unable to help but vent this restlessness in the plot of the script.

Based on her handling of the Gunner case, Furninna knew that Saphir desperately wanted Veronica to shoot the damned man, but in the end, she did not do so. Instead, she chose to fulfill Veronica's dream in the form of a dream.

Hand Morris over to Xiawolei and ask him to take him back for trial.

Safir was struggling, she needed someone to step up at this point in time and give her some tips and encouragement. She clearly understood the consequences of destructiveism and had always restrained herself with reason.

It would not be a good thing if the destructive emotions were allowed to spread. Funina gave Aurelie a thumbs up in her heart. Regardless of whether it was an accident or not, Aurelie did a good job this time.

"Your Lady Aurora is a lovable lunatic in her subconscious. We need a perfect performance to help her calm down." Finina was very alert.

"During this Lantern Festival, let Collio's cleansing water droplets purify her soul."
