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

After saying this, the priestess returned to her shrine, since there were other guests inside.

Paimon looked deep in thought.

"She's such a mysterious person. What's the deeper meaning behind her words... Hmm, I can't figure it out. If only Juexi were here, she might be the 'Riddler' according to him. Let's talk about it another time. Let's go back and report to Miss Shenli first."

Yingmei nodded and returned to the Wooden Leak Tea Room with Paimon.

-

Seeing the stragglers return safely to the Fatui, the lady's anxiety subsided; thankfully, he was alright. With the stragglers alive, she could finally leave for her Evil Eye factory, though the factory janitor... sigh...

The stragglers, their feelings a bit complicated, were still thinking about that strange woman.

"Aponia...utterly hypocritical."

The stragglers beckoned to one of the debt collectors.

"come here."

The foolish debt collector cautiously approached.

"What's wrong, Executor?"

"Come out and practice with me."

"I???"

"Yes, it's you."

evening......

Himeko lay in bed, pondering what Juexi had told her during the day. It was hard to accept, but it had certainly overturned her understanding of the world. Himeko glanced back at the phone on the table, trying to piece together the current situation.

At least I'm still alive, my silly student is doing well, Theresa has become the new bishop, and Fu Hua is surprisingly powerful. Looking at it this way, my sacrifice was actually worthwhile...

"hungry."

Himeko rubbed her stomach. She had just sat up in bed to find something to eat when she heard Kiana's voice getting closer and closer.

"Himeko-sensei! Himeko-sensei~ Dinner's ready~"

As she spoke, Kiana pushed open Himeko's door.

"Hey, Himeko-sensei, everyone's here today, let me introduce you to everyone. But this Hua might not be the Fu Hua you know, no, it seems so too, oh well, whatever, everyone's a really nice person."

Himeko was amused by Kiana's words. She had heard Juexi's introduction before. That Hua was Hua from 50,000 years ago and had no memories of spending time with everyone at St. Freya Academy.

"I know, Kiana, you're still so easily startled."

"hey-hey."

Kiana grinned foolishly and pulled Himeko's arm as they entered the living room.

......

Himeko couldn't help but sigh, these 'Thirteen Heroes' really each had their own unique personality, but overall they were all quite easy to get along with (except for that one, Qianjie). At dinner earlier, Himeko also became good drinking buddies with Wendy and Eden.

After the meal, Airi happily invited Himeko to join a group chat called "Golden Garden"~

Chapter 177 'Heart'

That night, Juexi was lying in bed when Kiana lifted the covers and crawled in, nuzzling against him like a kitten.

Jue Xi happily patted Kiana's head.

"What's wrong? Qibao, why are you so happy today?"

"Hehe, Captain, aren't you just asking the obvious? I'm so happy to see Himeko-sensei again today, thank you Captain~"

After saying that, Kiana cupped Juexi's face and gave him a big kiss.

"A verbal thank you isn't enough!"

As Jue Xi spoke, he patted Kiana's shapely buttocks.

"Perverted captain..."

"Qibao, have you gained weight?"

"Get out of here! How dare you talk about me like that, you idiot captain."

Jue Xi looked at Kiana, who was pretending to be angry, and started tickling her. However, as she tickled her, their posture became ambiguous...

"Om~Om~"

Juexi's phone rang at an inopportune moment, and Kiana blushed, looking somewhat unhappy.

"Don't answer!"

Juexi immediately silenced her phone and tossed it aside.

"As you command, my dear wife."

Kiana wrapped her arms around Juexi's neck.

"That's more like it, honey~"

……

Rosalyn was speechless. No wonder these two were a couple; neither of them answered the phone. She was so angry she wanted to smash the phone, but she couldn't bring herself to do it, so she tossed it onto the bed and went to take a shower.

"I'll tell you tomorrow that I want to have a good talk with Juexi."

-

“We will meet again eventually, Ying. We’ll explain everything next time.”

……

"Ying, we will meet again eventually, but not now..."

Ying shook her head and suddenly woke up with a start, tears still clinging to the corners of her eyes. She looked at her chest and saw that Little Paimon was lying sideways with one foot shoved into her face and the other leg pressed against her chest. No wonder she had a nightmare.

Looking at the sleeping Paimon, Ying recalled the day she parted from her brother and Juexi, when she was heartbroken and cried, and little Paimon also hugged her and cried. Thinking of this, she smiled faintly.

Paimon's "tears" flowed from his mouth.

"Sweet and delicious stuffed chicken with flowers... hehe... it's all mine..."

Ying was speechless for a moment. This guy had eaten her out of house and home, and suddenly she wasn't so touched anymore.

Ying pinched Paimon's little face.

"Hmm~"

Ying teased Paimon a little, took her legs off her body, and went back to sleep.

Early the next morning, on Inazuma Street...

"Hand it over obediently, or I'll have to do it."

"Huh? What do you mean, brother? Protection money... This is too blatant. We don't have anything valuable on us. Please, brother, have mercy."

"Stop spouting nonsense. Hand over the Eye of God! If you think you can use elemental power to defy the Eye Hunt Order, you'd better wake up. You know that people who have done this before never had a good ending, right? They just brought trouble upon themselves."

This morning, after having lunch with everyone, Pado went out for a stroll, intending to buy some supplies and digest the food. However, she was "arrested" shortly after leaving the house. She was so upset, everyone.

Paddy was bewildered. "The Eye of God...that's the little charm Boss Juexi gave me, right? I liked it and hung it on my waist, thinking it was just a decoration. Turns out it's some valuable treasure? If you'd told me sooner, I definitely would have hidden it. Also, what's elemental power? Is it a type of Honkai energy?"

Ying and Paimon had just finished breakfast and were walking down the street when they saw someone confiscating the Eye of God.

"We've stumbled upon the scene of the confiscation of the Eye of God; we can't just stand by and do nothing, can we?"

"Wait, Paimon, take a closer look at who that person is."

"It's that thief!"

Ying was a little embarrassed and lectured Paimon.

"They don't seem to be considered thieves..."

Paimon pulled the traveler.

"Should we help her?"

"help!"

Just as Yingmei was about to make a move, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Hey~ wait, wait..."

Paimon pointed to the box behind him.

"Hmm? Traveler, someone is calling us from over there."

"Over here! Come here!"

The two walked over.

"Your voice sounds exactly like Pado's! What's wrong? It's an emergency, let's get ready."

"We'll just watch the show."

Paimon was angry.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Just because you don't have the Eye of God doesn't mean you can act like it's none of your business."

Xiao Gong explained.

"Keep your voice down, or they'll come and take mine too. Her Eye of God is fake, it's okay."

Paimon expressed skepticism and didn't quite believe what the man said.

"0.o Zun Du is fake? How did you know?"

"Really, look."

After saying that, Xiaogong took out his God's Eye.

"The true Eye of God is always bright, only shining brighter under certain special circumstances. But if you look closely, you can see that her Eye of God is flashing."

Paimon looked at it carefully.

"Right, Traveler, her Eye of God looks like the one Juexi gave Kiana before, so it must be fake."

Ying nodded, and Paimon immediately apologized.
