Chapter 60: The Celebration of Pure Water - The Final Chapter

Qiuhe calmly replied, "If I hadn't run away quickly, I would probably have been buried there forever, just like those members of the Rose Society and the Fools. As for the photograph, I know nothing about it."

Navelette gazed at Qiuhe for a moment, then turned to leave, leaving behind a meaningful remark before departing:

"Thank you for your efforts in protecting Fontaine's water source. I will inform Kales of your injustice, but rebuilding the Grey River requires a large amount of Mora, and the Fools will not be absolved of responsibility in this matter."

After saying this, Navelette added, "Also, thank you for the pleasure you brought to Ms. Funina, but after tonight, please do not approach Ms. Funina again."

After saying that, he left without expression. After seeing Villette leave, Qiuhe breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back in his chair, looked up at the ceiling, and was filled with thoughts.

Qiuhe sat there silently for a moment, then slowly stood up and walked out of the office. As he reached the door, a melodious pipa tune reached his ears.

The beautiful music made him stop in his tracks. He discovered that the sound was coming from the roof of the Mo Mang Palace, so he decided to follow the sound.

Qiuhe climbed the stairs step by step to the rooftop of Mo Mang Palace. As he got closer, the sound of the pipa became clearer and clearer. He had arrived at the rooftop.

There stood alone in the moonlight, playing the pipa. The moonlight shone on her, illuminating her exquisite face. Her fingers gently plucked the strings, producing a series of melodious notes, truly beautiful.

Qiuhe stood quietly to the side, not uttering a sound to disturb her. He gazed at Funina, a hint of tenderness in his eyes. Her figure appeared so enchanting in the moonlight.

Akikawa was captivated by the beautiful atmosphere, feeling the awe the music brought him. At this moment, Funina's performance was full of emotion and power.

Each note danced in the air like a sprite, weaving together a moving melody. Qiuhe was deeply impressed by her talent, and thought to himself, "No wonder she's a superstar in Fontainebleau."

Even at this moment, he wondered who would have a better singing voice if Furina and that wind god were to meet.

After the piece ended, Funina opened her eyes and looked at Qiuhe, who was coming up in the elevator. She then said gently, "The name of this piece of music is (Candlelight in the Dark Night)."

"It was my idea to commemorate our first meeting," Qiuhe said, slowly walking to Funina's side and taking the pipa, beginning to play a different kind of music.

The melody was equally beautiful, but unlike Furina, it didn't infuse the music with countless emotions. Furina listened quietly from the side.

The audience at the Opiclie Opera House had long since returned to Fontaine, and they heard the sound of that instrument once again. "Hey, did you hear that? It sounds like the water god's instrument!"

"Oh dear, now that you mention it, it's true,"

"Yes, but the playing doesn't seem to be as good as the Water God's, but it still sounds quite nice."

"I never imagined that besides our Water God, there would be someone else who possesses this instrument, and can even play such beautiful melodies!"

The people of Fontaine were all discussing the melody played by Qiuhe, marveling at its beauty. After the piece ended, Qiuhe quietly spoke:

"At first, I was thinking about what to name this melody. I didn't know then, but now I do. From now on, I'll name this melody (Encounter)."

In the end, Qiuhe chatted with Funina on the rooftop, looking at the stars together, but he didn't mention anything about what happened with Navelette.

Fearing that Funina would be saddened, at the final moment of parting, Akikawa turned back for one last look at Funina and gave her a knightly salute.

Furina smiled and responded. Meanwhile, at the Opikley Opera House, Clementine and the others sat on a nearby flowerbed. Clementine, resting her chin on her hand, sighed and said:

"Pepe, when will Leyi be back?" Navia and Clorinde were also sitting there with the three of them, because Cares had just been called away by Navelette.

Peruvieri responded softly, "He's probably busy dealing with something. We'll just have to wait a little longer." Claire, however, sighed slightly.

"The Water God was just here keeping us company, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye. We were hoping to talk to him a little longer."

"By the way, Pepe, I think I smelled that perfume that Lei bought for us the other day on the Water God just now. Could it be..." Claire rested her chin on her hand and pondered for a moment.

"Even the Water God has approved of that perfume," Qiuhe slowly returned to the Opéra Garnier Opera House, but on the way back, he bumped into Carles.

The two looked at each other without speaking, and eventually walked together toward the Opiclie Opera House. The night was very quiet, and Kares remained silent throughout.

Qiuhe was the first to speak, initiating the conversation: "My meeting with Navia was just an accident. We're just ordinary friends, but I promised him I'd take him on adventures and have fun with him. I won't let him get into danger; I'll protect him."

"If you don't want Navia to get too close to me anymore, then be a good father and spend more time with her. If you can't do that, then don't blame me."

“I’m just doing what you can’t do, fulfilling the promise I made,” Carles wanted to retort, but he couldn’t because he knew the other man had hit the nail on the head.

Despite being a father, he couldn't provide Navia with enough companionship due to his busy schedule. He usually had to rely on Myles and Silver to keep Navia company, and sometimes he even had to take Myles and Silver away with him.

In the end, all that could be left for Navia was to be accompanied by Clarin and the people of Grey River. Kares sighed helplessly, but remained silent.

Qiuhe stopped talking and the two slowly returned to the Opéra Garnier Opera House. Claire was very happy to see Qiuhe return.

She ran straight over and hugged Qiuhe. "Leyi, you're finally back! What did you do with that person? Did he do anything to you?"

When Navia saw Kares and Qiuhe return together, she didn't run to Kares, but instead ran to Qiuhe and took his hand.

Seeing this, Kares sighed helplessly and turned his head away in disappointment. Qiuhe then raised his hand, patted Navia's head, and smiled at him, saying:

"Navia, it's getting late, you should go home with Uncle Kares," Navia said, seeing that it was indeed very late, and then bid farewell to Qiuhe.

Finally, she ran to Cares and hugged him tightly. "Daddy, let's go home," Navia said, looking at him with a sweet smile as he hugged her.

Carles gave a kind smile, gently picked up Navia, patted her on the back, and said, "Okay, let's go home." He then led Claurind away.

As Qiuhe watched them leave, he suddenly felt a pang of emotion. He thought to himself, if his own father had acted the same way, would he be in this situation today?

"Lei?" Qiuhe immediately snapped out of her reverie upon hearing Claire call her name, and looked at Claire quietly. "Lei, what are you thinking about?"

Qiuhe hesitated for a few seconds, then smiled slightly and kissed Claire deeply on the cheek. The sudden kiss stunned Claire for a few seconds.

Coming to her senses, her eyes widened and her face flushed. Finally, Qiuhe said gently, "I was thinking about my beautiful Princess Clover. When will she finally wake me from my reverie?"

Clévy finally crouched down shyly, covering her face with her hands. Seeing this, Peruvée felt a pang of sadness for some reason, and then turned to leave.

Upon seeing this, Akikawa grabbed Peruvieri's hand, scooped her up in a princess carry, and Peruvieri instinctively wrapped her arms around Akikawa's neck.

But she still spoke with a touch of arrogance, "Go keep your Princess Clementine company, why are you looking for me?" Finally, Qiuhe gently kissed Peruvier on the cheek.

Then, laughing, she said, "Because it's a fair distribution." Seeing that she couldn't lift Clementine up, Lily had no choice but to pick her up helplessly. "Okay, Clementine, let's go home."

"Knock, knock, knock!" A masked member of the Fools' Guild urgently knocked on Kugavina's door. "My lady, I have urgent news to report!" "Come in," came the order, and the Fool slowly entered Kugavina's room.

"My lord, our mission in Gray River was disrupted by a child of unknown origin. We have no idea who he is, only that he is very strong, and none of us from the Fatui Clan are a match for him."

Kudjavina's eerie smile didn't fade after hearing this. He picked up the red wine, about to drink, but as soon as the glass reached his lips, he sensed something was wrong. Kudjavina gently sniffed it.

The red wine had just arrived from the group of fools standing nearby. "When was this red wine made?" one of the fools asked, thinking it had gone bad. Startled, he hurriedly knelt down and began to explain.

After learning the origin of the red wine, Kujavina pondered for a moment, then lightly tapped his hand on the table. At that moment, a person accompanied by a black shadow suddenly appeared in Kujavina's room.

He wore a fox mask, had blue hair, and held two daggers upright behind his hands. "Mother," a man's voice slowly spoke.

Kujavina finally spoke to the masked soldier of the Fools, saying, "Go and draw a portrait of that child."

Finally, he turned to the man who had suddenly appeared beside him and said, "Good boy, go and take care of the person in the portrait."

"Also, go to Fontaine and bring me back a man named Ranach. I need him alive or dead."
