Chapter 776 This is the power of water
"Liyue, Xu Ning."
Xu Ning casually repeated the name he had given countless times.
Although he had seen the dragon-shaped stone sculpture on that beach long ago, Xu Ning did not directly regard his predecessor as a dragon, let alone an ancient dragon.
But now, looking at the dragon-shaped phantom in mid-air that represents the great power of the ancient dragon, it actually hesitated between himself and Vilet, which was quite intriguing.
Could it be that my predecessor was not only a member of the ancient dragon clan, but also possessed considerable power?
However, these things can only be verified in the future. The most urgent task is to finish this performance and not let Fukaros's "sacrifice" go to waste.
"Your Honor, you must be determined to obtain this power over the ancient dragon, and Fucarus did indeed intend to bequeath it to you on his deathbed..."
Xu Ning looked at Vilette thoughtfully and asked, "...We Liyue people are noble and have always had the habit of helping others achieve their goals, and I am no exception. But I voluntarily gave up such a big piece of the pie, so it's not too much for the Inquisitor to owe me a favor, is it?"
Villette frowned slightly. "I wonder what kind of favor Mr. Xu Ning is looking for?"
Upon hearing this question, Xu Ning couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Do we need to be so cautious? Do you really want me to name a price on the spot? Well... if my wine can sell in Fontainebleau, then I would appreciate it if Lord Vilette would take good care of me and not use any strange decrees to restrict my wine business. Is that too much to ask?"
Villette seemed surprised to hear such a simple request from Xu Ning, and couldn't help but ponder the potential dangers hidden behind it.
"As long as your caravan behaves itself and follows the rules, Fontaine will certainly be willing to make things easy for them."
Xu Ning shook his head. "Sometimes I'm really impressed with you. As the Water Dragon King, you're not as agile as water at all. Oh well, I'm already satisfied with your promise. I'm going to rest for a while. You should focus on experiencing your ancient dragon power!"
Xu Ning reached out and took the "Peak-Slaying Blade" that Kong had found, and despite the pain in half of his body, he slowly walked up to the VIP seat and casually placed the Dust-Concealing Gourd.
Meanwhile, Qingyi and Wendy, who had just been watching the show, hurriedly tidied themselves up like thieves, not daring to say a word, and transformed into two streaks of white light as they fled into the Dust-Hidden Cave.
Xu Ning hadn't come to cause them any trouble, so he went straight to Fu Ningna, who was silently weeping on the throne.
From the moment the trial ended, Funina never spoke again, sitting there as if she had been forgotten by the world.
But Xu Ning did not forget her.
"Has everything... come to an end?"
Funina's voice seemed to come from another world, ethereal and empty.
Xu Ning shook his head slightly, "The grandest performance has only just begun. We will give this greatest performance a perfect ending. We will not allow and will absolutely not leave any regrets."
"We just need to wait a little longer, and we will definitely be able to do it."
A flash of white light appeared on Xu Ning's body, and he entered the Dust Concealment Cave.
With Xu Ning's sudden disappearance, the dragon-shaped phantom representing the ancient dragon's power, which had been hovering between the two, immediately made a choice and flew directly to Vilet's side, slowly merging with his body.
Claude, Linni, and the others who had been waiting outside the opera house had quietly re-entered the place after suddenly feeling a strange palpitation.
Upon entering, one sees Xu Ning's wine gourd hanging in the VIP section, while Villette stands on the stage with her cane and eyes closed, standing between the two with a somber expression.
Upon seeing them enter, Kong recounted to them what he had just seen and heard.
Upon hearing this, the others all wore the same expression as Kong.
Clarin looked at Frynn, who was sitting blankly on the throne, and wanted to go up and say a few words of comfort, but when she thought that she had also contributed to Frynn's predicament, she could only stand below and sigh.
"I just hope that everything we've done will be worthwhile in the end."
Upon hearing this, Kong smiled bitterly and said, "Perhaps we have always been swept along by fate, drifting with the tide, and have not accomplished anything at all. Perhaps the only ones who can truly accomplish something are Brother Xu and Lord Vilette."
This statement plunged everyone into silence once again.
After Xu Ning entered the Hidden Dust Cave, he saw Qingyi snatching the magic bottle from Aji's hand. Wendy, afraid of having an allergic reaction, could only stand far away and cheer. Then, Fukaros inside the bottle angrily greeted him, making quite a scene.
"This isn't that annoying Lilupal. She used to be a genuine god. Even though she lost her power and fell into decline, who can resist the feeling of rolling a god around in the palm of their hand? Let me play with her for a while, because I won't be able to play with her when Xu Ning comes. Ouch!"
The girl in green, who had just received a sharp rap on the head, ran away clutching her head. Xu Ning reached out and took the magic bottle from Aji's hand.
Just moments before the throne shattered, Fukaros, whose soul had been absorbed by Xu Ning's magic bottle in his palm, was sternly condemning Xu Ning's reckless and arbitrary actions that disregarded the fate of others.
Xu Ning gently tossed the magic bottle in his hand. Fukaros, who had not yet learned to fly using the power of the magic bottle, was startled and screamed, instantly forgetting how to continue her condemnation.
"No matter what, it feels good to be alive."
Fukalos's little golden dumpling turned around in the bottle, as if admiring this fairyland-like garden paradise, and then said softly, "Yes, it's so good to be alive, to see such beautiful flowers... Thank you."
Xu Ning smiled, carried the magic bottle to the "Sweet Rain" spring, and then slowly opened the bottle, letting Fukaros's soul roll into the spring.
Before the soul even touched the spring water, the sweet dew gushed upwards and gently enveloped it. In an instant, a water-based body, just like Funina's, condensed and then slowly emerged from the spring water.
Water can transform into any form; that is the power of water.
In fact, Fukaros and her appearance are just like the spirit summoned by Shen He's version of Funa. Although they both have light blue bodies, Shen He's clone is like ice crystal carving, while Fukaros is like pudding or jelly.
"For now, just stay here and play around like this. That's the Fetal Sea over there, where there are many pure water spirits. If you're bored, you can go and chat with them..."
Fukaros glanced at the several small animals playing in the womb behind him, nodded but did not go immediately. Instead, he looked at Xu Ning's arm.
"Your arm is badly injured."
Fukalos reached out and gestured into the spring water, and a pure water sprite wearing a crown slowly condensed into form. As its wings slowly folded, a water sphere gradually formed in its arms.
Just then, Xu Ning seemed to hear a faint, beautiful singing voice.
