Chapter 821 We Decide for Ourselves
Our silly Fou, of course, couldn't see the gloomy expressions on the faces of the two "Elemental Masters" beside her.
Now, all she can think about is the "extra fun" thing Xu Ning promised her.
They pushed the three shapeshifting beasts in front of Xu Ning like treasures, their faces full of anticipation for what Xu Ning would take out of that magical gourd.
Xu Ning did not disappoint her, taking out three small orbs of light from the gourd.
"These little things are called Zhenling, the children of the Flower Goddess. Because their mother made a pact with me, they are very obedient to me. Don't underestimate them just because their souls are incomplete. In certain aspects of life and combat, they surpass most humans. I will merge their souls into these three shapeshifting beasts. From now on, they will take care of you."
Xu Ning took a drop of pure water from the gourd and placed it on one of the light clusters. The spirit-suppressing essence immediately dissolved in the drop of pure water.
“This little one used to serve the mistress of the city of Juer. She is very good at tidying and cleaning, and she also knows a lot of cooking skills. With her, you can throw away those sauce packets, and next time we come, we shouldn’t be unable to find a place to sit. Just put her in… put her in it.”
Xu Ning held a drop of pure water containing the essence of the spirit in her fingertip and placed it on the forehead of the armored crab, since its legs seemed to be the most suitable for cleaning and tidying up among the three little ones.
"And this little guy was once a statistician in charge of data management for a city. You can rest assured to entrust your Mora to her. As long as you are willing to listen to her advice, you will never have to worry about Mora one day."
Xu Ning dissolved the drop into the body of the bubble seahorse, then lifted the last drop and placed it into the spherical octopus.
"And she, the court etiquette master and martial arts instructor, although I think you can have more fun after you retire, you still need to maintain your image as a lady. I believe she can definitely be of great help to you."
Paimon whispered to Kong again, "Wow, don't you think that the big drunkard suddenly smells so much like a father? It's like he arranged everything related to Funina before he even came here? Hmm? Why aren't you saying anything? Hey, you're not envious of those little things' functions, are you? Hmm, hard to say, I feel like I'd like to have a set too, what's wrong with me?"
Faced with such a simple and messy environment, the hardworking Miss Shebeleta had already jumped out and started her tidying and cleaning work.
Paimon had never seen such a flexible crab claw before!
While holding Lady Hevima with great joy, Fulina heard Xu Ning's last words and, although she really wanted to immediately put on a sad face for him, she couldn't help but reach out and hug him after seeing Lord Uther take off his hat and politely greet her.
It has to be said that these little spirit-suppressing creatures are indeed quite versatile in their skills, but Kong was really not thinking about that just now.
He was still thinking about how Brother Xu had just dissolved the spirit of Zhenling directly into pure water, and then merged it with the water elemental phantom beast, becoming one with it.
The spirits of Zhenling are not like the Fontaine people or pure water spirits that are easily soluble in water. The only legend to date that can dissolve the power of the flower spirits is that when Seymour drank the "nectar of life," his divine form shattered and transformed into "a hundred kinds of spiritual light."
The "nectar" was formed from the body of the first water goddess Egolia, so it naturally possessed that magical power. But what power did Brother Xu use?
Was it because he obtained Agoria's power? Or was it because the "Holy Sword" combined with the power generated by pure water?
Or perhaps... both?
Regardless, that power was already infinitely close to the might of a demon god, yet Brother Xu seemed to wield it with ease...
"Alright, it's getting late, we should head back."
Xu Ning suddenly spoke, breaking Kong's reverie. Only then did he realize that it was nearly halfway through the night, and he quickly got up to say goodbye.
I'll come see you again tomorrow when I have time.
Clarin said goodbye to Frynn and turned to leave.
Xu Ning walked last, and just before leaving, he remembered that there was something he hadn't told them. He turned to the three little ones inside and instructed them: "Remember, those cleaning and cooking things are just minor details. Your task is to protect Funina at all times, eliminate any threats that may appear around her, and ensure her safety, understand?"
The three little ones seemed to have received a supreme command, and immediately nodded in unison.
"Don't listen to him. From today onwards, we'll be in charge ourselves."
Fu Ningna hurriedly pushed Xu Ning out the door, then quickly closed the door and ran off to find some new friends to play with.
As the door clicked shut, the people standing outside in the moonlight suddenly burst into laughter. Even Clarinde, who was usually stern, smiled and looked quite happy.
"Because of us, Ms. Funina has been living a lonely life. We are very grateful for your visit, which brought her so much joy, especially Mr. Xu Ning. Thank you for everything you have done for her."
Xu Ning waved his hand and smiled, "Don't say thank you so soon. If I cause trouble someday because of what I did today, I'll be very grateful if you remember not to blame me then."
Clarin glanced at the small attic behind her. "Frinna isn't a person without principles, so what trouble could she possibly cause?"
Less than three days later, Claurind realized that she might have spoken too soon.
I don’t know when it started, but suddenly a story about “three bullies” began to circulate in Fontaine.
According to people who frequently engage in outdoor activities, anyone who encounters those "three bullies" will suffer the consequences. Those who accidentally bump into them will be blown away by the water bubbles, and those who bravely intervene when they see a little girl being chased by them...
Even worse, someone was simply setting up a campfire by the roadside to grill a fish when suddenly a "bully" appeared out of nowhere and spat out a water ball, extinguishing their campfire!
This indirectly led to a sudden increase in the number of requests from the Adventurers' Guild, which naturally boosted the spirits of those who were bored and just passing the time by taking on quests.
"These all seem to be missions to find the three bullies and teach them a lesson. Let's just take them all."
Kong nodded upon hearing Paimon's words. He naturally wouldn't actually teach Furna a lesson, but by accepting these commissions, he at least helped Furna out of her predicament without letting the Fontaines continue to issue bounties without any scruples.
But during those few busy days, Xu Ning had already disappeared from Fontaine without a trace.
