Genshin Impact: Starting Guide - End of the World Qi Bao

"Okay, two segments it is."

……

"Hey, Kiana. Alicia touched your captain's face."

"Hmm, touch...what!"

Kiana realized what was happening and saw Alicia playing with Zetsu's face in the video...

"This, this isn't caring about my captain's health at all, it's taking advantage of him!"

The system waved its hand dismissively.

"Weren't you just looking like you had no will to live, like you were going to sacrifice yourself for the previous civilization? Why are you jealous now? By the way, if the host saves the previous civilization and you disappear, do you think Alicia will end up with him? Then I'll transform into your appearance again, having two women on either side of me, tsk tsk tsk, just thinking about it is awesome."

"Hey!"

Kiana is really angry.

"He wouldn't do that!"

"Alright, alright, let's continue watching."

After all that commotion, Kiana didn't really want to think about it anymore; there was no point in thinking about it so much.

……

Kiana was both ashamed and delighted when she saw Juexi's heartfelt words.

Kiana thought to herself.

That perverted captain… he actually tried to use the power of the 'Herrscher of Knowledge' on me, that's just too much… But, next time we meet, it's not like I can't grant your wish… So what if you call me ○○, ○○… you're just bullying me. Also, it's clearly your own thinking that's wrong, Captain, yet you blame the power of the 'Herrscher of Domination,' really. Thinking of this, Kiana glanced at the Bronya-like system beside her. This system was probably led astray by the captain.

Kiana chuckled when she saw Juexi silently reciting the Heart-Cleansing Mantra. It seems the Captain really does like her; as expected of this young lady, her charm is astounding!

Kiana didn't say anything more, and sat down next to the system, staring intently at the screen.

Meanwhile, on Juexi's side...

As soon as they got off the plane, everyone was arranged to rest, except for Jue Xi and Alicia, who were not given rooms to rest in.

Jue Xi knew from the fact that no room had been arranged for her to rest that she was going to be working for "Moths of Fire" again.

Jue Xi scratched his head.

"Alicia, is this how you 'Fire Moths' always treat newcomers?"

Alicia comforted her with a smile.

"No, Juexi, it's because of the 'Herrscher of Thunder'. Her birth caused too many messes, so people like us who are capable should naturally do more work. Things will be easier from now on."

Jue Xi naturally knew that this "Moth Chasing Fire" would probably be busier every day from now on, and complained helplessly.

"Alicia, has anyone ever told you that you're good at making empty promises to your employees?"

"Making empty promises? What does that mean?"

Jue Xi remained silent for a while, then sighed.

"Oh, forget it."

Alicia seemed about to say something, but her communicator rang. After receiving the notification, Alicia naturally took Juexi's hand.

"Let's go, let's go on a mission."

"Hey, Alicia, I don't even know what kind of mission it is yet."

"It's nothing serious, just going to find two people."

"Changkong City is so big, how are we supposed to find it?"

Alicia pulled Juexi with all her might.

"Let's go, let's talk as we walk. Honestly, Juexi, no girl will like you if you're so serious! We're going to Chiyu Academy now~"

"Looking for Kevin and May?"

Jue Xi asked the question directly, leaving Alicia completely bewildered.

"Um, did you hear what was said on the communicator just now?"

No, I was just guessing.

Juexi can't very well say he knows the script, at least not now.

Alice didn't take it seriously and held onto Juexi's hand tightly. Juexi just let Alice hold her hand. Alice turned around and smiled happily.

"It's okay, everyone has their own little secrets, right?"

Jue Xi recalled that it was true. For example, Alicia had concealed the secret that she was the "Herrscher of Origin." Seeing that Jue Xi didn't speak, Alicia continued.

"By the way, guys like you, Juexi, with a mysterious aura, are really popular with girls, right?"

"Oh."

At this moment, Alicia, along with Juexi, boarded another spaceship, intending to head to Qianyu Academy.

On the way to Qianyu Academy, Alicia turned around and chatted with Juexi while piloting the spaceship.

"Juexi is very cold. Does she not like me?"

"Hey! Alicia, focus on driving! You won't die if you fall, but it'll be a real hassle!"

"Hey, it's okay, I still have you, right? So, Juexi~ ​​do you like me?"

Jue Xi changed from slumped in the chair to sitting upright.

"Hiss... I'm a married man, Alicia, please have some self-respect."

Ellie persisted, as if to say, "Are you kidding me? I've lived for over twenty years and this is the first time I've met someone just like me, and someone so outstanding. How could I give up so easily? Really."

"Is she the girl named Kiana? Can you tell me about her?"

Juexi was also surprised that Ai Li would suddenly ask about Kiana. Logically speaking, she should have forgotten about Qi Bao. She just mentioned it casually in the morning and Qi Bao remembered it.

"Kiana, she has beautiful white hair, is adorable, and a little clumsy, hehe. Sometimes she can be very serious, always thinking of others' good. Iris, you weren't wrong when you comforted me this morning, she's also an excellent and strong warrior. When I first learned about her experiences, if I put myself in her shoes, I probably would have given up and committed suicide long ago. Although Kiana is very beautiful, I think what I like most about her are all sorts of qualities and personality. In short, I like everything about her, hehe."

Alicia listened attentively, then sighed.

"Juexi is so lucky! I'm so envious. You tricked such a wonderful girl into becoming your wife. Humph, you've ruined so many lives!"

"How can this be called deception? Besides, isn't it a responsible thing to deceive her for a lifetime? I'm only good to Kiana. We like each other, and she's willing to be with me."

Alicia mentally added a few more points to Juexi's score.

"I didn't realize you were so loyal."

"Of course, after all, this is the most basic thing for two people to be together. Being responsible for her is also being responsible for yourself."

The two remained silent for a while.

Alicia seemed to be thinking about something. Suddenly, she turned around and looked at Juexi. Then, she grabbed his hand and looked at Juexi with a mixture of embarrassment and expectation, asking him earnestly.

"So, Mu Juexi, can we be good friends? Really, really good friends. I also want to be someone very important to you... maybe second only to Kiana? Is that okay?"

Chapter 135 Future People

Looking at Alicia, who was holding his hand tightly, Juexi was momentarily stunned. This Alicia... she's so beautiful...

—(This symbol is a dividing line and will appear multiple times later, just to let you know.)

Meanwhile, Kiana, who was watching the live stream, was flailing her arms wildly, as if she wanted to smash the screen to pieces with her sword.

"Aaaaaaah~ Alicia~ You can make friends, fine! But what's with that last part?! And don't look at my captain with those affectionate eyes! Don't hold his hand and take advantage of him!"

The system silently hugged Kiana from behind.

"No, no, Kiana. It's just a screen. The host can't hear you. Calm down. If I smash this screen and rebuild it, it will cost me a lot of energy."

-

Looking at Juexi's expression, Alicia was secretly delighted. It seemed that she was quite to Juexi's liking. Alicia pressed for an answer.

"Is it good? Absolutely!"

Juexi felt she couldn't look anymore. Ai Li was such a little devil! It wasn't that she lacked self-control; she was just so beautiful...

"Okay, okay, we're just friends."

After saying that, Juexi forcefully pulled her hand out.

Alicia smiled contentedly, having achieved her goal, and then continued.

"Yes, my best friend, the most important friend after my girlfriend."

"Alright, alright, whatever you say. Just drive the spaceship properly, or we'll be collecting Kevin and May's corpses soon."

"Actually, it's okay, no rush, there are other people over there with them."

"Since there are other people protecting you, what do you need me to do?"

Ellie gave an awkward laugh.

"Hehe, actually, I was originally the only one they asked to go. Kevin and May are safe, and Möbius is there too. The main purpose of this trip was to invite May to join 'Moths of Fire.' Normally, Möbius would handle this kind of thing himself, but Kevin wanted to come too when he heard that May wanted to join. So, Möbius said he wanted to test him, and that's why he sent me."

Jue Xi was completely bewildered.

"Seriously? Mebius really doesn't want Kevin to join, so he's having you, Ellie, test him?"

"There's no way around it. I guess Mebius is worried that Kevin might influence Mebius, since they're a couple. Secondly, if Kevin doesn't join 'Moths of Fire,' he'll probably have a better life, right? After all, he won't have to fight against 'Honkai' on the battlefield."

Jue Xi shook her head after hearing this.

“That’s not right, Ellie.”

"Ah, what, is this salt already?"

Jue Xi suddenly remembered that Alicia had never been to school and might not even be as well-educated as Qi Bao.

"It's nothing. What I mean is, Alicia, you're not saying that correctly."

"What's wrong?"

Alicia remembered something and continued in a half-joking tone.

"Oh right, Juexi, didn't you say you're a time traveler from the future? So you're saying Kevin joined the Firemoth in the future?"

"What kind of strange new nickname is 'future person'?"
