Seeing "Furina" crush the Serenitea Pot with a single squeeze, a terrifying surge of Eerie power erupted from "Madame Ping."
From her eye sockets, thick, crimson, foul-smelling liquid began to stream down as she screamed furiously at Furina:
"Furina… why—how dare you do this?!"
"The Serenitea Pot is a rare and precious artifact—once lost, it can never be replaced!
And you had the audacity to destroy it right in front of me?!"
"This is a blatant insult—a direct challenge to my limits!
Even if you brought me rarer materials… even if you knelt and begged for forgiveness—I would never forgive you!!"
Watching as an overwhelming amount of Eerie energy surged from "Madame Ping,"
Su Yuan's heart sank—this wasn't good.
Because Furina had destroyed the Serenitea Pot, Madame Ping had entered a frenzied state—her second phase.
The power of Eerie energy largely stems from negative emotions, and now, with her precious pot destroyed, Madame Ping's emotional turmoil had clearly peaked, bringing a significant boost to her strength…
Faced with this form of "Madame Ping," could Furina still remain as calm and effortlessly dominant as before?
"Madame Ping" began to gather Eerie power once more in her hands, forming a larger, more potent energy sphere—a "Madame Ping Shockwave" that radiated even more terrifying pressure.
She charged it in mere moments and hurled it directly toward Furina!
But even against this far more powerful attack, Furina remained utterly composed, deflecting the blast with a single hand.
Seeing this, "Madame Ping" was unable to comprehend it— she screamed in hysteria:
"WHY!!! Furina!!!
Before you enter Eerie State, you were just an ordinary human… So why do you now wield such immense power?!"
"Madame Ping" roared madly, launching shockwave after shockwave — but all of them were effortlessly neutralized by "Furina."
In the next instant, "Furina" blinked forward, appearing directly in front of "Madame Ping", grabbed her by the throat, and lifted her high into the air.
"Madame Ping" writhed in pain, but still snarled through gritted teeth:
"Hahaha… Furina… Su Yuan… So what if you've defeated me?!"
"Do you see the pendant at my waist—the emblem of the Geo Archon?!"
"Everything you've done to violate the contract has been witnessed by Morax himself!!"
"Even if I die, Morax will come to punish you both for breaking the contract!!"
"I was never good at combat. Defeating me is nothing to be proud of…"
"No matter how strong you are, Furina… Could you truly stand against Morax?!"
"For destroying my beloved Serenitea Pot, you will pay a terrible price!!"
"Madame Ping…"
Su Yuan looked at her and spoke slowly:
"Morax will not be coming…"
"We've already completely destroyed the Geo Archon's throne. In this world, Morax no longer exists."
"Zhongli is just Zhongli— a Guest consultant for the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. Nothing more."
"Good night, Madame Ping…"
As Su Yuan's words faded into the air, in Madame Ping's shocked, disbelieving eyes, "Furina" clenched her fingers—snapping Madame Ping's neck without hesitation.
But she didn't stop there.
With her other hand, Furina struck clean through Madame Ping's chest and abdomen, leaving gaping wounds front and back.
She then released her grip, letting Madame Ping fall into a pool of blood.
The Eerie power surrounding her, along with her life, vanished without a trace.
Madame Ping—a celestial being who had protected Liyue for over a thousand years had fallen.
Su Yuan could feel a wave of sorrow rising in his mind—it must have been Xiangling crying.
But everyone knew… sacrificing Madame Ping, at least for now, had been a necessary evil—the only option they had.
"Darling…"
"Furina" turned her head back with a gentle smile, gazing at Su Yuan as she softly spoke:
"The nuisance has been dealt with. Now we should enjoy our night alone together…"
"But… this place is still a bit filthy, messy, and… there's a bloody corpse lying nearby.
Why don't we go somewhere else—change rooms?"
Just as Su Yuan was about to agree—for it was indeed difficult to sleep with Madame Ping's body still warm nearby—he suddenly remembered the warning on his left palm:
No matter what happens at night, do not leave the bed.
Even if Furina invites you.
Even if she allows it.
Do not leave.
So Su Yuan replied:
"Forget it, Furina. Let's just stay here for tonight. No need to change rooms…"
Upon hearing this, "Furina" smiled sweetly and walked over to him, gently caressing his cheek as she said:
"Darling, you passed my test perfectly…"
"If you had insisted on leaving, it would've only proved that all those sweet words you told me earlier… were just lies."
"Besides, don't you think… Madame Ping's bloody corpse, as decoration, adds a certain charm? A twisted thrill?"
Hearing those words from "Furina," Su Yuan couldn't help but think:
People tainted by Eerie power really are insane…
Even though he couldn't agree with "Furina" at all, on the surface, he didn't dare show it.
He forced a smile and replied:
"Yes, my dear Furina… You're right, of course…"
Su Yuan checked the time—it had been a while, and Zhongli still hadn't shown up.
That meant the plan to destroy the Geo Archon's throne, thus preventing Zhongli from falling into Eerie corruption had succeeded.
"Darling, it's already late. Let's hurry and get some sleep…"
As "Furina" said this, she climbed onto the dirty, worn-out little bed, snuggling up beside Su Yuan.
Although Su Yuan knew that as long as he stayed in bed, and followed "Furina's" lead he shouldn't be in any immediate mortal danger…
But when Su Yuan thought back to those two previous nights—the revolting, nauseating insects—he couldn't help but shudder…
Although, according to the boy Youngtore, those insects were said to be pure condensed Eerie power that his body could absorb to enhance his strength…
The taste, the disgusting and painful sensation… it was still far too tormenting.
He couldn't help but wonder—what kind of insect would "Furina" bring out tonight?
As Su Yuan was lost in thought, a sudden knock came from the door outside…
Then, the door opened— and Zhongli's figure appeared before both Su Yuan and "Furina"…
Su Yuan stared at the scene in shock, unable to comprehend it.
Why… why is Zhongli here?
Could it be… that even after the Geo Archon's throne was destroyed…
Zhongli still fell into Eerie state?
