Chapter 390: Ch 390 : My heart is filled with nothing but love
Only now did Su Yuan truly realize—not only could he make use of Zhongli’s eerie transformation rule, but Madame Ping could use it just the same...
As long as she carried something related to Morax on her person, something that could witness everything, then he would never be able to break the contract so easily...
To break it would mean paying the price—with his life.
In other words, from the very moment he signed the contract with Madame Ping, there were only two possible outcomes:
Either he found the real Traveler, Aether, fulfilled the agreement with Madame Ping, and lifted her eerie transformation...
Or he broke the contract—and died.
Now Su Yuan finally understood: to break free from this situation, he would either have to find the real Aether, or somehow render the contract between himself and Madame Ping null and void—or make it so that the punishment of the contract could no longer take effect.
But with Aether still missing without a trace, it seemed only the second option remained...
That is—before using Furina’s eerie qualification to rescue her, he would have to destroy the Geo Archon’s divine seat, severing Zhongli’s connection with Morax completely, so that he would no longer fall into eerie state because of it...
However, another thought still troubled Su Yuan.
Madame Ping had set the time inside the Serenitea Pot to daytime, brought both him and Furina into it, and in doing so had dispelled Furina’s eerie state—
But was that purely accidental... or intentional?
If it was accidental, then fine.
But if she did do it on purpose—
Who had leaked the intel about Furina’s eerie state...?
Just as Su Yuan was deep in thought, Madame Ping’s voice once again rang out from above:
"Furina, I don’t know why you suddenly exited your eerie state, but it doesn’t matter anymore..."
"Even if you were still in your eerie form—do you really think you could stand against the Eerie Morax?"
Those two sentences revealed quite a bit to Su Yuan...
If what she said was true, then the daytime setting inside the Serenitea Pot must have been purely coincidental...
And it also meant that the Eerie Zhongli was likely about to arrive here very soon...
The next moment, Su Yuan and Furina felt the world spin around them—and then they were ejected from the Serenitea Pot, returning to that old, run-down house once more...
Seeing Zhongli now standing before them, radiating an eerie and oppressive aura, Su Yuan and Furina instinctively swallowed hard, exchanging a tense glance...
Immediately, a dense wave of eerie power erupted from Furina’s body, while Su Yuan instinctively scrambled back onto the bed...
"Wait—Furina, is your condition for entering the eerie state triggered by making eye contact with Su Yuan?"
Madame Ping narrowed her eyes at the scene before her and murmured thoughtfully:
"But... that doesn’t seem quite right either... That still doesn’t explain how you suddenly slipped out of my control and returned to Su Yuan’s side..."
"You old hag..."
Furina turned to Madame Ping, her voice icy cold as she snapped:
"That was my carelessness just now. You won’t get another chance..."
"Heh... And yet, even when facing the Eerie Zhongli, you still speak so calmly?"
Madame Ping let out a cold laugh and said:
"As expected of an outsider—you truly have no idea of the terrifying power of the Geo Archon, the God of Contracts, the God of War—Morax, Liyue’s greatest force of might..."
"I don’t know why someone like you, clearly lacking even the strength to truss a chicken, was able to gain the upper hand in a direct confrontation with me..."
"But when it comes to facing the Eerie Morax, neither you nor Su Yuan will escape death..."
"The contract has been sealed. Those who break their word shall suffer the Warth of the Rock."
At the same time, "Zhongli" also began to speak slowly, walking toward Su Yuan step by step...
"Had you both simply left, I might not have even bothered with you..."
Facing the approaching Zhongli, Furina also spoke—her voice calm, but ice-cold:
"Everything that belongs to my beloved... belongs to me."
"Even if he’s made mistakes and must be punished—that right belongs to me alone."
"No one else has that qualification."
Su Yuan watched this unfold, realizing that a battle between Furina and Zhongli was now inevitable...
As for who would win—between Furina and Zhongli—Su Yuan’s opinion actually aligned with Madame Ping’s...
Furina’s eerie state was indeed unusual, and unquestionably powerful...
But from what he had observed so far, a person’s strength after eerie transformation seemed to be closely tied to how strong they already were before it happened.
Those who were powerful to begin with became even more terrifying after their transformation.
Among everyone he had encountered so far, the ones whose eerie forms were the most overwhelmingly strong—were the fully awakened dragon Neuvillette and Zhongli himself.
Neuvillette’s advantage came from his race—he possessed the full authority of an ancient dragon...
Zhongli, on the other hand, earned his strength through sheer power—fighting his way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood in the Archon War...
Of course, Inazuma’s Raiden Ei also displayed formidable strength after her eerie transformation...
These individuals could be considered the first-tier elites.
As for who among them was stronger, Su Yuan had never seen them actually fight each other, so he naturally couldn’t tell who would come out on top...
Speaking of Inazuma, he wondered what the current state of the Shogun puppet’s consciousness was.
And had Kazuha awakened yet?
All in all, while Su Yuan believed Furina was powerful, he still doubted she could defeat Zhongli...
"I no longer wish to waste time with you people..."
Furina spoke coldly:
"I just want to finish you off quickly... and spend a lovely night with my darling."
Zhongli turned his gaze toward Furina and said flatly:
"Are you attempting to obstruct me from enforcing the Warth of the Rock upon Su Yuan, the one who broke the contract?"
"In that case... you shall be treated as an accomplice."
A surge of dense eerie energy suddenly erupted from Zhongli’s body, crashing down toward Furina with immense pressure!
He was confident in his strength, certain that he had completely suppressed Furina.
So he stepped forward, intending to pry open her mouth with one hand and stuff rocks and dirt into it with the other—
to carry out the Warth of the Rock punishment.
"My mouth... is not something you are allowed to touch."
Furina spoke coldly—and then something completely unexpected happened.
With blinding speed, Furina thrust her right hand forward—so fast it was almost invisible—and drove it straight through Zhongli’s chest!
Zhongli instantly coughed up blood, clutching the gaping wound in his chest as he stumbled back several steps, speaking in disbelief:
"Why...? I have you completely suppressed, but why you were still able to move freely???"
A faint smile tugged at the corner of Furina’s lips as she calmly replied:
"Because in my heart... there is only deep, unwavering love—
for My Darling."
