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

"Sister Snake, is this reliable? Is it safe to eat?"

Mebius stared at Paddo as if a viper were flicking its tongue.

"Little Paddo, I'm the top scientist of the previous civilization's Fire-Chasing Moths, making a cream cake or a chocolate shouldn't be difficult for me, right? Why don't you try it?"

Paddo waved her hands quickly.

"No, no. Sister Snake, of course we trust you, haha, haha. We have things to do; Sister Eden asked us to find a few things, so we'll be going now."

As she spoke, Pado backed away little by little towards the door, and her hand immediately became wet when she touched the doorknob.

Pado was taking inventory of something in her little house.

"Hmm... candles, cutlery, balloons, desserts... what else was there? I think that's all."

After everything was ready, Pado quietly entered Ellie's room carrying large and small bags.

……

When Airi heard Mei mention that her past self in the Paradise of the Past had sent her out of Paradise, she sighed, "As expected of my memory." Although Mei didn't know what happened afterward, she could guess.

Airi patted Mei on the back.

"Okay, if you're upset about this, both she and I will be unhappy, okay? By the way, Mei, your phone keeps ringing, are you sure you don't want to check it?"

Mei waved her hand, her face clearly showing she was up to no good.

"it's okay no problem."

stare……

"Really?"

"real……"

Ellie turned her head away.

"Okay~_~"

After saying that, she was about to go back to her room. Mei followed behind her. Airi didn't ask any questions. As soon as she reached her room door, she heard a faint sound coming from inside.

"Ugh... Boss Juexi, you've stepped on my tail!"

"Shh, Pado, keep your voice down, don't let Ellie find out. Qibao, don't pinch me."

Airi glanced at Mei.

"Mei... this?"

Mei remained silent, her face dark.

Ellie pushed open her bedroom door, and with a "bang," Kiana fired the confetti cannon in her hand.

Eden held up a large cake, and the others looked at Alicia.

Happy birthday, Ellie!

Although Ellie had guessed it, she was still extremely happy to see everyone celebrating her birthday.

At that moment, Eden placed a cake with seventeen candles in front of Ellie.

"I'm sorry, Ellie. I've done my best to inform everyone. Aponia might be a little late because some guests have arrived at the sanatorium."

Thank you everyone, this has been the happiest birthday I've ever had. I hope everyone can be happy every day!

Chapter 182 Little White Bug?

Paimon nodded several times in agreement.

"Yes, yes, traveler, you mustn't be fooled by this nun, even though she's very beautiful. Have you noticed that the one outside wearing a mask is terrified of Aponia?"

Qianjie slammed the door open and walked in.

"A little white flying bug, who's afraid of her?"

Paimon immediately hid behind the Traveler. Although he was very scared, he still mustered his courage because he was behind the Traveler.

"I... I can't not be the Little White Bug, that sounds awful... and you, the one wearing a mask..."

Ying felt a sudden darkness before her eyes. She thought she had just seen a figure flash by, and when she came to her senses, she felt a hand on her head.

Qianjie placed one hand on Ying's head and the other on Paimon's head.

"You little brat, you dare talk back? Who gave you the courage? This blondie? She's not even as good as that kid (the stragglers)."

Aponia had just finished making some tea when she brought it over and saw Qianjie bullying the child again...

"A thousand tribulations!"

Qianjie let go and looked at Aponia.

"What? Aponia, are you angry? Come on, let me see just how twisted and ugly your face is under that hypocritical mask!"

"A thousand tribulations... 'Please'..."

Before Aponia could finish speaking, Qianjie swiftly appeared in front of her and crushed a teacup.

"Shut up, Aponia."

The people in the room remained silent, and the atmosphere became tense.

Xin Hai's mind was racing. Although the two hadn't fought yet, their strength was far greater than that of the traveler and himself. While they might not be able to defeat General Thunder, if he could make friends with them, it would greatly increase the resistance's chances of winning.

"Humph."

Qianjie snorted, flicked the tea in his hand, and turned to leave.

Aponia turned to look at Thousand Calamities.

"Qianjie, remember to change the patient's dressing."

Qianjie shoved the door shut with all his might, the loud slamming accompanied by a rolling sound...

Aponia ignored them, placed the tea on the table, and apologized to them with a faint smile and a hint of self-reproach.

"I'm sorry, gentlemen. Qianjie is just an overly enthusiastic child, please don't take it to heart."

Paimon was still scared. That masked man was too powerful. The oppressive feeling he had just experienced was comparable to that of one of the Seven Gods.

Ying didn't reply. She now truly realized how weak she was. If that Thousand Tribulations had wanted to kill her, perhaps…

Aponia smiled at the group. She poured Ying a cup of tea first.

"Please believe in yourself, Ying."

Ying was still in a daze, not yet recovered, but seeing the tea that Aponia was offering, she couldn't very well refuse it.

Ying took the tea and sipped it, and subconsciously felt much better, which was quite amazing.

"Thank you."

Aponia smiled but didn't say anything.

Paimon, seeing that Aponia was easier to talk to, quickly recovered.

“Mine, mine, Aponia.”

"Of course, both Little Paimon and this Miss Xin Hai have them."

Then Aponia poured two more cups of tea and handed them over.

……

"Whoo~"

Paimon finished his tea and let out a long sigh.

"If you ask me, Aponia, isn't that masked guy the one who likes to scare people and bully children the most?"

Aponia smiled.

"Paymon has a good eye for people."

"Humph, of course."

"By the way, Aponia. Didn't that masked guy just crush a cup? Are there still enough cups left?"

"That's fake. Qianjie didn't damage the real cup."

Paimon nodded, seemingly puzzled but impressed.

The group chatted for a long time before Xin Hai finally brought up the question she wanted to ask. However, Aponia simply nodded and glanced at her.

When those eyes were on him, Xin Hai felt as if he had no secrets from Aponia.

"Don't worry, Miss Xinhai. Your troubles will be resolved soon."

"Thank you."

Chapter 183 Doll or Machine

Xin Hai knew perfectly well that Aponia was just being polite; she must know his situation and was simply trying to comfort him. As Xin Hai thought this, Aponia smiled and continued.

“This is not meant to be comforting, Miss Xinhai. The turning point in this crisis is right beside you.”

Xin Hai glanced back at Paimon, who was devouring pastries and drinking tea...

Xin Hai was somewhat speechless, sighed inwardly, and then turned to look at the Traveler. Ying also heard Aponia's words and subconsciously glanced at Xin Hai. Ying was also puzzled; was she really that powerful according to Aponia? After all, she had just been chased and hacked by Thor not long ago...

Seeing that the others were silent, Paimon put down the delicious pastries in his hand and looked at the two people staring at each other and Aponia, who was smiling at him.

Paimon put his hands on his hips and said with a proud look on his face.

"That's right, the Traveler and I are the turning point; she's a formidable fighter."

Xin Hai smiled and agreed.

"Yes, you'll have to work hard from now on, traveler."

Ying waved her hand to indicate that it was okay.

......

By the time Paimon was completely stuffed, everyone had finished their conversation. Ying still hadn't gotten any information about Juexi. When she mentioned Juexi, Aponia just smiled and said they would definitely meet again. Hearing this, Ying was certain that Aponia and Juexi were connected. Finally, Ying apologized to Aponia, grabbed Paimon, and left with Xinhai.

"Paimon, really, you're so embarrassing, how can you eat so much?"

Paimon was a little embarrassed.
