Chapter 231 Miss Penny’s Cake
After running all the way out of Fontainebleau, Funina broke away from Xia's arms and looked at the cake beautifully packaged in a box.
She looked at Xia with a repulsive look, as if she wanted to draw a clear line between herself and such thieves and robbers.
But in fact, even though she is the god of Fontaine, she often does some petty theft.
for example:
Guarding outside the Villette office on time, she intercepted the exquisite cakes that Hu Xiaomei Luxin would deliver at noon every day... And based on the market price of those cakes, over the years, Miss Funina could be imprisoned for 17 or 18 years. Year.
But can this kind of thing be stated openly?
No.
So she would never show that she was on the same side as Xia when it came to grabbing the cake.
She even had to criticize harshly from the moral high ground!
Because she hates people who rob just for the sake of robbing.
.
on the beach,
Xia brought her to a large Pumbaa basking in the sun and moved its position just enough to block the wind blowing from the valley.
After all, it had rained lightly in the morning, so the wind was still quite cool.
The two of them just sat on the beach with their backs to Peng Peng Beast.
Xia opened the cake and placed it between the two of them, then immersed herself in tinkering with the plate and fork.
Fu Nina first breathed a sigh of relief and took the initiative to enjoy the warm sunshine for a moment. She also thought about the rhetoric she was going to use to criticize Xia.
About a minute and a half passed,
Seeing her looking foolishly into the distance, Xia Shun looked around and saw only two different types of fish playing in the water.
In Funina's eyes, this scene was what she yearned for. She pointed and said:
"Look, they seem to have broken away from the established direction of the fish school and are releasing their natural instincts in each other's space. They must be very happy, right?"
"Miss Fufu, if you have nothing to do, read more books. Those two fish are in a predatory relationship."
Xia shrugged and continued to explain, "And they are not playing around. This is the method of some predators. They gradually exhaust their prey through constant chasing and playing, and get the maximum reward with the minimum risk."
Ah,
Xia frowned. His life was full of purpose, so when he looked at these two fish, he looked directly at the essence.
And what about this stupid girl?
She may have a little poetic feeling in her heart, or it may be a simple lack of knowledge that caused her to not recognize these two fishes, so she mistakenly thought they were playing.
For Xia, he only thinks that one of the two fishes is best steamed and one braised. Then make a bowl of fish soup...it must be very delicious.
However, the relationship between these two fishes is very similar to that between him and Miss Fufu.
She is Xia's prey.
Not a playmate, never will be, definitely not.
.
Soon, the two fish disappeared.
Xia then brought the cut cake to her mouth.
Unexpectedly, she avoided it in disgust...
Those clear eyes made Xia feel uncomfortable.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to eat cake?"
"I want to eat it. I can rob it myself... Bah, I can buy it! I'm not a robber. I can't do such a thing as snatching someone else's cake and eating it. I'll be struck by lightning!"
"It's just a cake."
Xia pushed it to her mouth again, hoping that she was just pretending to be reserved, but in fact she just wanted to be stronger.
After all, he has come into contact with many women for various purposes, and most of them have this habit. They like to eat hard food, not soft food, as if this will make them very satisfied...
"Just a cake?" She glared at Xia, her tone was fierce, but her expression was pitiful, and then she pushed Xia's hand away.
"Isn't it?"
Xia's mood cooled down, but his expression remained smiling, because he knew clearly that you have to be patient when fishing. He was just a fisherman, and he didn't really want to fall in love, at least not now.
"This cake is very expensive!"
"I do not care."
"Of course you don't care. You're a pharmacist who wishes the whole world would be filled with patients so that you could make a fortune selling medicines!"
Funina unexpectedly shouted, "Do you know what the cake means to Miss Penny?"
Xia took a breath and said nothing, quietly waiting for a story that was about to be heard.
Funina looked at the swaying trees in the distance, sighed and said:
"Five years ago, the best cake chef in Fontaine was still the fiancé of Miss Penny. They would have had a good life... Then something happened. He became seriously ill and his life began to count down early. Miss Penny spent all her money. The money is used to treat his illness...
Maura put a lot of money into the doctor's pocket, but the doctor only told her after she couldn't get a penny anymore that there was no possibility of curing her fiancé and advised her to give up.
In the end, they could only rely on the remaining 100,000 Moras to survive, but Miss Beni no longer planned to continue living... She asked him, 'What other gifts do you want? I buy for you! '
He said: 'I want to eat the best cake in Fontaine every day for the rest of my life. 'But the best baker in Fontaine is the one who is terminally ill.
Therefore, in the last two months, Miss Beni began to learn how to make cakes under his oral guidance, starting from learning how to beat eggs until the perfect cake was produced. During this time, they seemed to have forgotten the pain of separation... ...Enjoying the joy of every progress.
Until the end... he left, leaving a note that read: "Goodbye, dear Penny... My last gift to you is all my cake making skills, take it with you, open a Cake shop, live bravely."
Funina wiped away her tears, raised her head and said to Xia, "Cake has a life-like meaning to Miss Beni. She has developed from a table stall to the most unique cake shop in Fontaine...and You are just a thief! A robber!"
After saying that, she got up and left!
Just now, I was just afraid of being caught up by Miss Beni. Her identity was too special to be involved in such a thing, and she couldn't expose the identity of the Water God in front of Xia.
"Wait a minute, Miss Fufu."
Xia stopped her, picked up a piece of cake and handed it over, "Eat it, I'll pay for it."
Funina looked at him and said seriously: "I still want to apologize!!"
"...Okay, apologize."
Xia nodded and made do with you.
Funina raised her foot and stepped on him, then took the cake and ate it in small bites.
"Eat slowly, don't rush, there's more."
"Why don't you eat?"
"If you eat another piece, I will eat it."
Xia Yi handed over four pieces of cake in a row, and she actually wiped them all out. Didn't she feel bored at all? What a cake remover.
Fu Nina swallowed the last mouthful and licked her fingers. Thinking that Xia was still watching, she awkwardly went over to wipe them.
"I've finished eating, can you eat it? You can't be responsible for buying it, and I'm responsible for eating it, right? If it doesn't come out, I will rob it."
"Is not it?"
Xia raised her head and looked at him.
"You, you, you...what do you mean?"
Funina shouted, looking shocked!
Xia Yaya took a bite calmly and explained: "If Miss Fufu eats half of this cake, she will definitely not be able to escape, and she will have to pay for it together!"
"You...are you still shameless?"
She was so angry that she stamped her feet, which was really shameless.
"There's nothing we can do about it."
Xia smiled and said, "Miss Fufu also knows that I live in Baisong Town, which is really poor. If it weren't for Miss Fufu, I would never grab such an expensive cake... so"
"so?"
"So Miss Fufu, would you like to make money with me to pay off your debts today?"
Xia patted his clothes and continued regardless of her contemptuous gaze, "Isn't it more sincere to use your own labor in exchange for money to apologize to Miss Beanie than to ask for money from the family directly than Miss Fufu?"
"Ah."
Funina nodded slightly.
Very nice.
"So, Miss Fufu, I will give you a gift today... that is my technology to make money in this bustling city!"
"Steal?"
Funina rolled her eyes at him, "You still need to teach me?" Did I steal enough of Villette?
Xia shook her head.
"no?"
"Not just stealing! There are many more." Xia smiled stupidly, put his hands on his hips, and silently took out a copy of "Fontaine Criminal Law Encyclopedia, Third Edition" from his bag.
"goodbye!!"
Funina turned and left.
Xia hurriedly ran up to stop her shamelessly, and said aggrievedly: "I'm just kidding, Miss Fufu, didn't I just want to make you happy?
actually! I am really a legal citizen. You may not know it yet, but in this city full of desires, Miss Funina, the God of Justice, is my last belief! "
"..."
Funina looked at this fan with some embarrassment. Am I his last belief?
"real or fake?"
"real."
Xia nodded, of course it was a lie. The Water God was just his biggest tool. If Fengdan was going to be submerged eventually, who could save this place?
It must be the water god, he decided.
Therefore, he refused to agree to the mysterious voice in the Cardinal's decree. He must not be an enemy of the Water God...
Because when Fontaine was submerged.
The Water God is the savior. If one person must die, there is a high probability that it must be the Water God who carries everything alone.
But Xia couldn't die, so he wisely chose to avoid risks and only be the biggest winner.
……
Momang Palace.
Facing the group of Sumeru sages, Villette sighed alone.
It was agreed that there would be a meeting in the afternoon, but Funina actually... ran away!
Just run away.
He even pushed up the beautiful Ceciline who was delivering the letter, gave her a wig and a luxurious dress, and asked her to pretend to be the Goddess of Water and hold a conference with these sages who had half a library in their heads!
Don't hold your own meeting, let others pretend to be gods.
Is this a trick that God could come up with?
No need to show any real face!
At this moment, Navilette, as a midway participant, could only sit next to Ceciline, the "new" water god, hoping that she would not say anything too outrageous.
because,
She is really eloquent. She still remembers that when she went to Baisong Town last time, it was this Meluxin who helped him get rid of the old man who was making things difficult for him.
After thinking about it, Villette turned her head slightly and asked softly: "Miss Ceciline, how are your acting skills?"
"Don't worry! Lord Villette, I was just released from Merlot Petersburg not long ago."
"Ok?"
"It means that I have a lot of life experience! Just watch my show. Come on, tell me a line."
"..."
The corner of Villette's mouth twitched. This Meluxin was really different. He adjusted his expression and said, "Ms. Funina, I have some here..."
"Shut up, Lord Water God, do I give you permission to speak?"
Ceciline glared at Villette sharply.
"..."
Villette was startled and sat up straight in embarrassment. Not to mention... she was really more like a god than Ms. Funina.
But just looking like an imposing figure is not enough!
The other party is not a paper tiger.
.
I saw one of the oldest sages taking a sip of tea and continuing the previous topic.
"Lady Funina, you don't seem to be as tall and majestic as we thought."
"But I can jump two meters high in one go, you old thing, can you?"
"Ah? What did you say?"
The old sage spilled the tea without even holding it steady.
"I am stating the facts, but when it comes to being tall and majestic, is the god of Sumeru higher than me?"
After Ceciline finished speaking, her two horns stood straight up, and she grew another 20 centimeters in height out of thin air.
"..."
Seeing this, another sage interrupted the conversation and accused, "Lady Funina, your words are too vulgar."
"Nonsense, I'm very qualified, okay?"
What do you call quality?
Several great sages frowned slightly, but did not dare to say anything. After all, they could only imprison their own gods, but they had no ability to provoke the gods of other countries.
As a country that is almost without God, Xumi's current situation is really not much better.
Several people argued with each other for a long time, and finally felt that this water god was a bit hot-tempered.
In embarrassment, Villette leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Miss Ceciline, your personality is quite special."
"That's right. This is what my brother Xia taught me. If your life is not what you want, you must be tough when you speak."
She answered confidently.
Villette suddenly frowned, is this Mr. Xia again? Well taught.
.
the other side.
Funina was being dragged out of a clothing store by Xia.
"Okay, okay, I'll leave on my own, don't hold me back!"
She followed behind in embarrassment and looked at her maid's outfit from the glass window on the street. It matched Xia's work clothes very well.
The two of them walked together like a maid and a male worker in a noble house,
Xia doesn't care whether she is embarrassed or not. Making money is not a decent thing in most cases, especially when you have no status, no background, no connections, and are unwilling to have bad intentions.
"Xia, why are you taking me there?"
It was mysterious for a long time, and I had to change clothes.
Funina was a little curious.
"You'll know right away."
Xia was tying her hair from behind, but she didn't resist much, "Fufu, can you tie your own hair?"
"what?"
Funina turned her head and glared at him fiercely, "What? What did you say? I am a girl, and you ask me if I can tie my own hair! Are you insulting me?"
"Then can you do it?"
"certainly……"
Fu Nina was full of pride and prepared to answer, and then she saw in the mirror that Xia was twisting her hair around with extremely skillful and complicated techniques, and then finishing it, it instantly turned into a butterfly twintail with wings.
She is stupid...
"Well, actually I can't."
"If you want to have nice-looking hair in the future, you can come to me."
After fixing her for the last time, Xia returned to the front, held her shoulders and took a look.
"As expected of me, I saved Miss Fufu's dull face."
"Obviously I am good-looking!" she argued.
"No, I did it well."
Xia still insisted on her point of view, turned her hand and looked at her loose shoelaces. She smiled and knelt down to tie them carefully for her.
Funina stared at him, a little surprised at first, then her heart softened slightly, and she looked around pretending not to care.
After a while, Xia nodded with satisfaction and stood up, his eyes lingering for a moment.
Then he pulled her towards another street and briefly described to her what to do next.
……
It’s a 4000-word chapter, not an update!
