Chapter 388: Ch 388 : Unexpected Situation in the Battle Against "Madame Ping"
"Here we go... here we go..."
With a tense heart, Su Yuan stepped forward and opened the door...
And just as expected—it was "Furina" standing outside.
She had actually managed to break free from "Madame Ping’s" control and arrive at his side in such a short amount of time...
Judging by how fast she moved now, it didn’t seem impossible after all that she had made it from Fontaine to Liyue so quickly before...
As soon as the door opened, Su Yuan immediately turned and leapt back onto the bed in the abandoned house—just in case anything unexpected happened.
"Darling, weren’t you staying in a luxurious suite at Yuehai Pavilion before? Why are you suddenly living in a shabby little shack like this now?"
"Furina" looked around the room, clearly puzzled by the scene before her.
"Did the people of Liyue... kick you out?"
"No, no, not at all..."
Afraid she’d charge off to Yuehai Pavilion and cause a scene, Su Yuan quickly explained:
"I’m just... trying to experience a different side of life, that’s all..."
"After eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, one needs to taste simple meals now and then. After living in luxury suites, it’s good to occasionally stay in an old rundown house..."
"But no matter the setting, I still stand by what I said—wherever you are, that’s home to me."
Hearing Su Yuan’s words, "Furina" gave a knowing smile and slowly walked to the side of the old, rickety bed, preparing to climb up onto it...
But just then, an angry voice suddenly rang out from outside the door—
"Su Yuan!!!"
"Furina suddenly broke free from my restraints... So she came to you?!"
"So all of this... was your doing?!"
"I clearly remember that the time we agreed upon hasn’t arrived yet! Even if we were going to fall out, why now?!"
Staring at the furious "Madame Ping," who was now radiating an intense, overwhelming eerie aura, Su Yuan knew—this battle could no longer be avoided.
Most of his eerie-enhanced forces were already lying in wait around this abandoned hut.
Now that they had sensed the overwhelming eerie power coming from Madame Ping, they were surely prepared to make their move as well.
"In that case... since you were the first to break our contract, then I have no reason to uphold it either..."
Madame Ping ground her teeth and spoke slowly and menacingly, word by word:
"Do you have any idea... who you’re standing before right now? I’m an Adeptus who has lived in Liyue for over a thousand years..."
"Su Yuan, do you really believe... that with those few stray souls clinging to your body, and with someone like Furina—who has no real combat ability—even if she’s fallen into an eerie state... do you really think that could amount to any true strength?"
Just then, Su Yuan suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
Where were his allies?
Why hadn’t they shown themselves yet—even now—to help him fight against Madame Ping?
Despite the overwhelming pressure coming from Madame Ping, Furina remained completely calm.
She spoke slowly and unhurriedly:
"Darling, when I arrived outside this little house just now, I noticed quite a few people hiding around the area..."
"They seemed to have formed a circle around this place—surrounding you and this little hut completely..."
"I figured they couldn’t possibly have good intentions. They were clearly planning something against you, Darling... so after I dealt with them, I came over and knocked."
Hearing that, Su Yuan froze.
"Dealt with them"? What did that mean?
If we’re talking in terms of the eerie... that likely meant she killed them.
Could it be that everyone who was lying in ambush outside—Baizhu, Qiqi, Yanfei, Gaming, and all the others—had already been wiped out by Furina?
Su Yuan had been marveling earlier at how quickly Furina had arrived...
But now he realized—it wasn’t just fast.
It was absurdly fast.
She had silently slaughtered all his hidden allies outside... and then casually appeared at his door.
And yet at the same time, this also served to prove one thing—Furina’s eerie power was beyond anything Su Yuan could have imagined.
And what happened next only confirmed that even further...
"Furina" slowly raised her head and looked at Madame Ping, who was radiating an overwhelming eerie aura, then calmly spoke:
"Old hag... just now, did you say... you were going to kill me and Darling?"
"Do you not understand? Everything that belongs to Darling... belongs to me alone."
"His body... his personality... his life..."
"Every last bit belongs to me!"
"What right do you have to kill him???"
"Besides, this is my time to be alone with him..."
"Your appearance has ruined my mood. And that... has made me very angry."
"Enough talk—die!!"
Madame Ping didn’t bother replying.
She instantly gathered a blast of eerie energy into her hand—her own version of the "Madame Ping Shockwave"—and hurled it straight at Furina and Su Yuan.
But Furina simply lifted a hand and waved it lightly—nullifying the entire attack.
This development shocked not only Madame Ping—but Su Yuan as well.
Su Yuan had suspected that Furina might be powerful, but to brush aside such a massive attack from Madame Ping that effortlessly—it was far beyond what he had imagined.
"Hmph... seems you do have some strength."
Madame Ping’s expression turned serious.
With a flick of her hand, she summoned the Serenitea Pot, activating its power to unleash a massive gravitational pull.
She shouted:
"Do you dare come fight me inside my teapot? I’ll show you the true might of my realm!"
As Su Yuan felt the tremendous force dragging at them, a thought flashed through his mind—Madame Ping really could suck people into a vessel just like the Ginkaku and Kinkaku in Journey to the West...
That must’ve been what she had planned to use back on Mt. Aocang!
After they signed the contract there, Zhongli had returned her divine authority... Ideally, Su Yuan should’ve asked him to reclaim it before Zhongli went into hiding in the remote wilderness—but in all his careful planning, he had overlooked this detail...
"A mere Serenitea Pot..."
Furina’s voice was cold and dismissive—completely unimpressed.
Su Yuan looked over at Furina’s expression—she didn’t seem to be resisting at all.
With how calm and composed she appeared... could it be that she was confident she could break out of the Serenitea Pot even after being sealed inside?
And just like that, both Su Yuan and Furina were sucked into Madame Ping’s Serenitea Pot.
The moment they entered, Su Yuan felt his entire body plummeting downward, as if endlessly falling.
The light inside the pot seemed strangely bright and glaring...
"Ahhhhhhh!!!"
Suddenly, beside him, Furina let out a terrified scream:
"Help!! What is going on?!"
"Su Yuan!!! Why are we in free fall right now?!"
