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

Juexi is still very afraid of Aponia. If Aponia could read her mind, it would be terrifying, especially since she still wants to save Kiana, not so much the previous civilization. Right now, Juexi feels like a student cheating on an exam, terrified of Aponia, the proctor, and feels guilty…

Aponia looked at Juexi gently and asked.

"Would you mind coming to the sanatorium with me to talk?"

Jue Xi didn't say anything, just nodded.

-

Kiana was getting anxious.

"Hey! What's she doing? That Aponia thing, I've been wanting to say this before, what kind of proper nun would wear clothes like that! Why weren't there so many beautiful women before I came here? As soon as I left, they all popped out, and the captain will see them all!"

The system was somewhat speechless; she didn't really understand relationships between men and women.

"This...isn't important, is it?"

"Of course it's important, little rabbit!"

The system also offered words of comfort.

"Okay, okay. I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush, let's take our time."

-

"You mean Juexi, right?"

Jue Xi was still very reserved and strange; today was really strange. Qian Jie seemed inexplicably hostile towards her. Although he was like that to everyone, he seemed to really dislike her coming to the sanatorium, saying that there was something wrong with her. It was strange. And Pa Duo seemed particularly afraid of her; why was that? Jue Xi didn't understand. Only Aponia was unexpectedly kind to her.

"Ah, yes, haha."

Aponia took Juexi's hand and gently placed it on her chest.

"There's no need to be so formal, Mr. Juexi, I meant no harm."

Jue Xi gasped in shock.

"hiss……"

Jue Xi subconsciously pinched her hand, thinking, "Sure enough, such great evil... no."

Jue Xi immediately pulled her hand away, feeling somewhat embarrassed, but Aponia didn't take it to heart.

Aponia said with a smile.

"Mr. Juexi is just like a child in some ways. Are you embarrassed?"

Jue Xi coughed.

"Um, Aponia. Let's get down to business."

"Okay, please come to my room with me to talk."

Jue Xi swallowed hard.

"it is good……"

As soon as the two reached the door, Aponia opened it but didn't go in first, instead letting Juexi go in first. After Juexi went in, Aponia followed behind him, and immediately locked the door after entering the room.

Jue Xi was a little confused. What was going on? When he turned around, he saw Aponia kneeling down with a sincere expression.

"Aponia, what's going on?"

Jue Xi panicked and immediately reached out to pull Aponia up.

Aponia said in a pleading tone.

"Mr. Juexi, please save the children."

Jue Xi was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, but then she thought about it and realized it made sense; it fit Aponia perfectly. She must have discovered something with her abilities, which was why she tried so hard to keep her here.

Upon hearing this, Jue Xi did not immediately go to La Aponia. He sat in his chair and asked.

"Aponia, you used your power on me? Did you?"

“I’m sorry, Mr. Juexi, it was just a subconscious thought. But I can’t see any of your thoughts or destiny. I only see that there are no ‘threads of fate’ on your head… In my barren life, I have seen many people rushing by. Without exception, I can see the ‘fate’ of others, but I cannot change it or save them. Isn’t this a kind of torment for me? God gave me the ability to see the fate of others, but not the ability to change it. How ironic.”

Jue Xi said with a hint of amusement.

"Aponia, so you're complaining to me? Blaming God? Grumbling against God?"

Aponia suddenly became nervous, lowering her head deeply as if it were pressed against the ground, and said in a trembling voice.

“That’s not what I meant, Mr. Juexi.”

"Alright, no need for that. I'm not a god. So, the moment you saw me and realized you couldn't foresee my fate, you thought I could save the children?"

Aponia looked up.

"Yes, Mr. Juexi."

"Just call me Jue Xi."

Aponia thought for a moment.

"Okay, absolutely."

Jue Xi wondered if she could save a few children without any problem. Suddenly remembering how Pa Duo and Qian Jie had witnessed her behavior, Jue Xi jokingly asked.

"Aponia, don't you think I'm different from other people, like I'm scary?"

Aponia was puzzled and didn't understand what this meant, but she smiled and said...

"No, Juexi. You still look very handsome."

Jue Xi thought for a moment and realized something. Qian Jie and Pa Duo both had some extraordinary abilities; they could sense and perceive danger. Aponia, however, did not. So Jue Xi released some of her control over her powers and asked.

"I mean, will I look evil or scary?"

Aponia lowered her head again and spoke sincerely.

"Even if you are some kind of evil god, I will do anything to save the children."

Jue Xi was speechless and facepalmed, thinking, "What is all this nonsense? This is confirmed. I look like a complete scoundrel now."

Jue Xi got up and helped Aponia, who was kneeling on the ground, to her feet. Aponia also stood up sensibly.

"Go and call the children here. Honkai disease, right? I'll cure them all today. You don't have to do anything for me. It's just a small favor for me."

Aponia said, moved.

"it is good……"

After saying that, Aponia went to find the seriously ill children.

The power that Jue Xi had just released was naturally sensed by Qian Jie, who was sleeping and suddenly woke up.

"It's truly a nauseating smell."

Qianjie came over as soon as he smelled it...

He pounded on Aponia's door.

"Hey, Aponia. What are you doing? Got your eye on that pretty boy? Open the door! He's dangerous!"

Aponia opened the door, her face showing an unusual expression of anger.

"A thousand tribulations... You mustn't say such a thing."

Jue Xi promised to heal all the children today, without asking anything of her. Even if Jue Xi was truly a heinous villain in Aponia's eyes, he was now a supreme god to her. Even if he might be an evil god, he hadn't done anything to wrong her; on the contrary, he had helped her…

After each flash of white light, even the weakest children would recover. Aponia watched the children regain their health, but she wasn't particularly happy, because… their fate remained unchanged…

Qianjie watched quietly, because Juexi seemed to be genuinely saving people.

"Hey, Juexi. Don't let me find out you have any bad ideas, or you're dead."

Knowing he was in the wrong, Qianjie slunk away after uttering those harsh words.

Aponia came to Juexi's side and explained.

"Qianjie didn't mean any harm, please don't take it to heart, okay? Juexi."

Jue Xi nodded.

“It’s okay. I know Qianjie. I know he doesn’t have any bad intentions. He just wants a home.”

Upon hearing Juexi's words, Aponia regarded Juexi as a god even more deeply in her heart.

After treating all the children, Aponia sat down next to Juexi.

"You've worked hard, Juexi."

That's a brilliant insight.

"Aponia, why are you unhappy? Is it because the children's fate hasn't changed?"

Aponia smiled wryly.

"As expected of Juexi..."

Then, looking somewhat sad as if she were about to cry, she asked in a choked voice.

"Why...why is this? Juexi...clearly..."

"Aponia, I'm sorry, there are some things we can't change, but at least they can face... the end in good health."

Jue Xi said nothing more. In this era, everyone except those few would die. No one's fate could be changed; if they didn't die from Honkai disease today, they would die from Honkai beasts tomorrow…

"Juexi...why are you apologizing? You've clearly done your best, haven't you?"

Jue Xi didn't say anything. Of course she had done her best, hadn't she?

Aponia tidied herself up.

"Sorry, I just lost my temper."

Jue Xi waved her hand.

"It's okay. I've been bearing so much all by myself. It's only natural to want to rely on someone as capable as me when I suddenly find out today, hahaha."

Aponia was amused by Juexi.

"Juexi, you're really witty."

Neither of them said anything more, and the room became somewhat awkward. Aponia spoke first.

"Juexi, I've never had a boyfriend..."
