Chapter 389: Ch 389 : Unshakable Madame Ping
Feeling his body plummeting rapidly, and seeing Furina beside him in a state of utter panic, tears nearly spilling from her eyes, Su Yuan found himself a little dazed and confused...
What was going on now?
Just a moment ago, Furina had looked down on "Madame Ping" with complete confidence and disdain—so why did she suddenly snap out of her eerie state the moment they entered the Serenitea Pot?
But soon, as he took in the bright and well-lit space inside the Serenitea Pot, Su Yuan seemed to understand something...
Was it daytime inside the Serenitea Pot right now?
It was clearly nighttime outside, yet the moment they entered the Serenitea Pot, Furina exited her eerie state.
Did that mean the concept of time inside the Serenitea Pot took precedence over that of the outside world?
Did "Madame Ping" break Furina’s eerie state by accident... or had she planned it from the very beginning?
But Su Yuan also knew now wasn’t the time to be pondering such things.
Seeing the ground rushing up toward them, he realized that if he and Furina didn’t do something soon, they’d end up as a pile of bloodied mush...
To be honest, he had no idea what to do in this kind of situation.
He had never skydived, never bungee-jumped—he was totally unprepared for this kind of free fall from the sky...
The only similar experience he’d had was when he had just arrived in Teyvat and had to jump off the Palais Mermonia to escape from the Eerie Neuvillette...
But that time, the height wasn’t too bad, and there had been bushes below to cushion his fall, so he hadn’t been seriously injured...
This time, though, as Su Yuan looked down, all he saw were bare, solid rocks—rocky terrain that looked hard as steel.
"Madame Ping" was clearly trying to smash them to death...
Su Yuan thought to himself—if only he had control over the Anemo element.
If he could just generate an upward wind current using Anemo energy, he could at least slow their fall...
With a sigh, Su Yuan couldn’t help but think—looks like he really needed to go to Mondstadt soon and find Amber to learn and acquire the Wind Glider.
If they had the Wind Glider right now, even without much wind, at least they’d be able to glide down safely...
The Wind Glider really was an amazing tool.
Just as Su Yuan was growing anxious, Tartaglia’s voice suddenly echoed in his mind:
"Su Yuan, leave it to me. An emergency landing? I’ve handled that more times than I can count!"
Su Yuan thought—Right!
How could he have forgotten? Inside his body was Tartaglia’s armor!
He was a seasoned warrior who had been through countless battles—what seemed like a crisis to Su Yuan might be nothing more than a minor inconvenience to him!
"Tartaglia, I’ll leave it to you!" Su Yuan replied in his mind.
"Make sure Furina is safe!"
Immediately after, Tartaglia took over Su Yuan’s body, grabbing Furina tightly.
The Hydro Vision at his side glowed brightly, and a surge of powerful Hydro energy burst forth, forming a water path that extended downward...
Tartaglia, controlling Su Yuan’s body, stepped onto the waterway, sliding down in a surfing posture...
Watching this scene, Su Yuan suddenly remembered a meme he had seen before:
"3G signal from the heavens—so fast it’s divine!"
But Su Yuan knew now wasn’t the time for jokes or memes.
Still, thanks to Tartaglia’s masterful water-surfing maneuver, the two of them landed safely...
But now, a new problem arose.
Su Yuan and Furina were trapped inside Madame Ping’s Serenitea Pot.
If there was no way out, then even if Madame Ping didn’t attack them directly, they’d end up starving to death without any food or water...
Gazing at the vast surroundings of the Serenitea Pot—towering mountains encircling them on all sides—Su Yuan couldn’t even tell where the boundaries of this realm were.
Even if he wanted to attack, he didn’t know where to aim...
"Furina, didn’t you say you were going to destroy my Serenitea Pot?"
Just then, Madame Ping’s voice rang out from the sky above:
"Go on, do it! Destroy it! Show me how you’ll do it!!!"
Hearing that, Furina immediately looked confused and replied,
"When did I ever say something like that? Why don’t I know about this?"
"And also, Su Yuan, wasn’t I being held hostage by Madame Ping?"
"How did I suddenly end up back with you? And why are we even fighting with Madame Ping now?"
"We haven’t even been able to locate the Traveler..."
Su Yuan turned to Furina and began explaining:
"If we can’t make the Traveler kneel and apologize to Madame Ping, then the contract between us and her can never be fulfilled. In the end, it was bound to fall apart anyway..."
"To ensure your safety, Furina, I had to use your eerie state rule tonight to rescue you from Madame Ping’s side—so she couldn’t harm you..."
"But Su Yuan, don’t forget—you and Madame Ping signed a contract..."
Furina looked extremely worried as she said:
"Breaking a contract will make you a target of pursuit from none other than Mr. Zhongli!"
"If that happens, even if you manage to save me, you won’t escape unscathed!"
"It’s fine. I already arranged for Zhongli to hide far away in some desolate place—he shouldn’t be able to witness the scene of me breaking the contract..."
"No! Su Yuan, that’s not what I meant!" Furina said urgently.
"Even if you made Mr. Zhongli hide far away, even if he can’t personally witness you breaking the contract—"
"—the trigger behind his eerie transformation has never required direct observation!!!"
Hearing that, Su Yuan suddenly realized...
Now that Madame Ping had taken both him and Furina into the Serenitea Pot, yet hadn’t attacked them—it was as if she was merely stalling for time, trying to keep them trapped...
Could it be that Madame Ping’s true goal was to use Zhongli’s eerie transformation rule—to kill by contract?
"Furina... don’t tell me Madame Ping is..." Su Yuan asked in a trembling voice.
"Yes, Su Yuan, it’s just as you’re thinking. Madame Ping always carries a small pendant shaped like the Geo Archon..."
"Everything about your contract violation has likely been seen by that pendant. No matter how far away Mr. Zhongli is, it’ll still meet the conditions to trigger his eerie transformation!"
Hearing Furina say this, beads of cold sweat instantly formed on Su Yuan’s forehead, his whole body soaked in nervous perspiration...
Not because he feared Zhongli arriving to enforce the Warth of the Rock upon him...
But because—if Madame Ping had been carrying that Geo Archon-shaped pendant this entire time, then it meant he couldn’t violate the contract at all...
If he really couldn’t break the contract, and if they couldn’t locate the Traveler, Aether...
Then wouldn’t Madame Ping truly be standing in an invincible position?
