Chapter 778: Real People Are Made of Water

The clear and transparent water ball rolled in the air, and no human features could be seen at all.

But there is more to a person than just appearance. To some extent, inner emotions may be a better basis for judgment.

Everyone looked at the water ball from afar, and even though they were a long distance away, they could still feel the fear and panic in it.

Human emotions are perfectly reflected in this water ball.

“Someone come here.” Yu Jin stared at the water ball for a while, then turned around and shouted to the crowd who were holding their breath.

Everyone was in a commotion when they heard this. They looked at each other, wondering what Yu Jin was going to do.

“Make way! I’ll do it!”

The commotion did not last long. After a spirited response, a woman wearing a wide hat and a long yellow rose skirt squeezed out of the crowd and strode towards the embers.

Behind her, there were two men in suits who were either bodyguards or servants following closely.

“Miss……”

“Myles, I believe in this strange gentleman.” The woman waved to the somewhat old-looking follower behind her, with a calm expression.

She turned her head and stretched out her slender arms to Yu Jin: “Navia, the current president of the Thorn Rose Society! What about you? The hero who saved Baisong Town!”

Navia raised an eyebrow at Ember, seeming happy to meet him.

“Yu Jin, um… just an adventurer passing by.” Yu Jin stretched out his hand and shook hands with Navia. At the same time, a strange feeling arose from Navia.

She looked up at the ember’s peephole, and the darkness inside seemed to see everything about her clearly.

And this is indeed the case. The reason why Yu Jin called someone over was to study the body structure of the Fontaine people.

“It’s really strange. They say people are made of water. You are all really like this.” Letting go of Navia’s hand, Yu Jin muttered a few words.

There is nothing controversial about the fact that the human body is mostly water, but the Fontaine people are different – their bodies are all water.

The water that makes up the Fontaine people is very different. It is kneaded into various forms, blood, flesh, bones… Everything about the Fontaine people looks no different from other humans, but Yu Jin knows that these are all fake.

The highly plastic nature of water not only creates the lifelike bodies of the Fontaine people, but also allows them to uncontrollably merge with the homogeneous water flow when they come into contact with it.

The unfortunate creature named “Jianli” probably melted into a pool of water for this reason.

“what?”

Navia was full of questions as to why she couldn’t understand anything Yu Jin said.

“Nothing. The water that glows blue… should be called primordial fetal sea water? Stay away from this kind of thing next time you see it. It can decompose you Fontaine people.”

“Just like this unlucky guy.”

Yu Jin pushed the water ball in Navia’s direction, successfully causing the three people to retreat one after another.

“The fetal sea water… will dissolve us?” After hearing this information he had never received before, Myles lowered his head and began to think.

Further away, Lorend’s ears moved and he quietly recorded the information.

Today, the rise in sea levels is mostly occurring on remote and uninhabited coasts, and the Fatui do not yet know that the rising fetal sea water will dissolve the Fontainebleaus.

Perhaps there are people who are dissolved into it, but as Yu Jin said, they will eventually merge into one with the ocean, and no one knows.

“So that’s how it is. Don’t worry, miss, I will protect you!” Silver stood in front of Navia at the right time.

But unfortunately, he was pushed far away by Navia.

“You are so small, you should protect yourself first.” Navia spread her hands to Silver, and then she asked:

“We will pay attention to it in the future. Then, Gianli, he…”

“I can try.”

Yu Jin nodded, then held the water ball in both hands and began to rub it hard.

He pressed his palm on the water ball, and the other side immediately bulged out. He repeated this process over and over again, making it look like Yu Jin was hitting a ball instead of kneading plasticine.

Gradually, Yu Jin stopped his movements because he found that the fetal sea water was rejecting him and refusing his power to flow into it.

“Hey, I don’t reject you, but you reject me instead!”

Yu Jin was immediately furious. He, who hated water so much, didn’t comment on the Taihai water, but this thing actually turned against Tian Gang and rejected him!

The water ball was still suspended in the air as usual, and it turned a deaf ear to Ember’s words.

Seeing that Taihai Water was so uncooperative, Yu Jin knew that he could only mold a person himself.

He pressed his palm against the water ball again, and wisps of white mist emerged from the water ball and then gathered on Yu Jin’s hand.

Soon, a tiny and fragile white candlelight floated quietly in his palm.

Navia couldn’t help but stare at the white candlelight when she saw this. Then, fear, confusion, panic…all kinds of strong emotions flooded into her mind.

“No? It’s just a soul. What’s so good about something you all have?” Yu Jin’s words made Navia’s eyes clear up.

Only then did she realize that not only her, but many others were attracted by the white soul containing strong emotions in the palm of the ember.

“Gianli’s…soul?” Navia uttered a few words intermittently.

“Well, that’s a good guess.” Yu Jin thought Navia didn’t believe it, so he moved his palm closer to her.

But he was proven wrong. Yu Jin stretched out his hand, and Navia could not wait to grab it.

“Wow! Soul! It’s actually a real soul!”

Instead of doubting the authenticity of the soul in her hand, she was quite curious.

“Hurry up and pull your young lady away. She’s scaring people!” Yu Jin retracted his hand, and the trembling white candle flame moved away from Navia.

The latter also reacted at this time. She held her hat with one hand, pinched the hem of her skirt with the other, and bent down slightly gracefully.

“I apologize for my disrespect just now, Yu Jin, and Jianli.”

Then she suddenly jumped up from her bent body.

“But it’s really amazing that the human soul is like this! Don’t you think so? Myles, Silver?”

“Miss, you made too many mistakes in etiquette just now. You need to practice more when you go back.”

“Yes, yes! Magic, magic!”

Myles and Silver were both treating Navia perfunctorily in their own ways.

Ignoring the two’s perfunctory expressions, Navia looked at Yu Jin with curious eyes again.

“Yu Jin, you peeled off Jianli’s soul…”

“Of course it’s convenient to put it back in.”

Yu Jin answered quickly. He originally thought that Navia would be a big sister-like character, but now it seems… an adult woman with a girlish heart?

I don’t know if this description is correct.

As he spoke, Yu Jin extended a finger and nodded at the blue water ball. The fungus had been planted, and all that was left was to wait for it to bloom.

The blue color instantly dimmed, and then red and white covered the surface of the water ball. The spreading hyphae used the fetal sea water as nutrients, rapidly filling everything in the water ball.

Soon, the water ball turned into a fluttering red and white ball. The red and white colors interlaced, and from a distance, it looked like a piece of meat floating in the air.

“Snapped!”

Yu Jin snapped his fingers, and the red and white mycelium quickly withered and rotted, melting into a pool of bright red blood.

But this was not the end, the blood contracted and agitated, becoming viscous. At first it was blood, then red mud, and finally squirming pieces of flesh.

The piece of meat began to stand up from its collapsed state, and as it changed, a “person” with more and more details appeared before everyone’s eyes.

“Snapped!”

With a clap of his hands, the white soul in his palms entered into the new body.

“Well……”

“What are you talking about? Put on your clothes. There are so many people watching us.” Yu Jin picked up the clothes on the ground with a stick and threw them at Jianli.

Chapter 779: The Fools Who Changed Their Personalities

2024-07-14

“Hello, my name is Lorenz Schnetzwich, nice to meet you.”

In the reception room of the Rose Thorn Society, Lorende, dressed in the robes of the Fatui, extended his hand to Yu Jin with a flattering smile.

“stare–“

Yu Jin sat on the sofa and glanced at Lorende who was looking flattering.

“I’m warning you, don’t cause any trouble. Many of your companions have been sanctioned by me.”

He stretched out his hand, pointed at Lorend first, and then shook the hand he extended.

“No, no, the Fatui you met are not the same as us.” Lorend hurriedly cut off his companions.

“That’s right, Ember. At least in Baisong Town, the Fatui are still very reliable.” Navia on the side nodded and added.

“What? The Fatui have changed their nature?” Yu Jin looked left and right, his face full of disbelief.

There must be some ulterior motive behind this – he speculated with the utmost malice.

“You can understand it that way. Of course, you can also say it’s due to the situation.” Lorende said with some emotion.

But Yu Jin was even more surprised after hearing this.

“What? Forced by the situation? Aren’t you fools fearless?”

“Flooding Liyue, fanning the flames, burning the World Tree…is there anything else you can’t do?”

Yu Jin counted the deeds of the Fatui on his fingers, and mentioned many things that Navia and Loren had never heard of.

[Did you really do this? ]

【I do not know. 】

Navia and Lorenzo exchanged glances, but no useful information came out of them.

“Tell me, what kind of situation can force you fools to become good women?”
