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

Dominating the theater.

Juexi quietly approached Ying, who put down the amulet that the god had given her.

“Mr. Juexi, please just say what you need. We are all fortunate to have this kind of life now, and I am happy to help.”

"Cough cough."

Juexi coughed, trying to ease the embarrassment of being discovered.

"Hehe. Sakura, how did you know I needed your help with something small?"

Sakura glanced at Juexi.

"As comrades, based on my understanding of you, since you're at home, you'll most likely be hanging out with that Kiana or chatting with that little bunny."

Jue Xi scratched his head.

"Hehe, you really know me. Sakura, it's nothing serious, it's just that a friend of mine who owns a small factory might have some people coming to her factory recently... uh... cause trouble, try to sabotage the business."

After saying that, Juexi handed Ying a photo.

"Disrupt the event..."

Sakura silently recited it once, then stood up.

"Understood, I'll get rid of her for you."

Jue Xi quickly stopped her.

"Wait, wait. This is also my friend, her name is Ying. I only want you to help me keep watch over the place, not to kill people..."

"Your friend wants to demolish the factory owned by another friend of yours?"

Juexi came to Ying's side and pressed her back into the chair.

"No, no, let me tell you, Sakura. My friend who owns a factory is named Rosalyn, and this friend who caused the trouble is named Ying. They have a bit of a conflict. Rosalyn asked Sanbing to watch the factory, but a small accident happened between them. It's possible that Sanbing might stand Rosalyn up, you know? If he stands Rosalyn up, the factory will be empty, wouldn't that be terrible? So I've come to ask you, a reliable person, for a favor."

Sakura understood the general idea, but she still didn't know how much force she should use.

"So, if Ying really comes, all I need to do is render her incapacitated and stop her from destroying the factory, right?"

Juexi thought for a moment, and the image of Ying being instantly killed in one blow appeared in his mind, something that Ying could see clearly, clean and swift...

"Um... Sakura, please go easy on her. Ying uses a sword, so I hope you won't hit her too hard. It would be even better if you could give her some pointers."

Although Ying felt a bit conflicted about Juexi, she didn't say anything. This mission seemed a bit tricky. She had done plenty of killing for the organization, but teaching... she had never taught anyone before.

Sakura finally nodded. She thought that the Firefly should have power similar to that of the god Inazuma.

"understood."

"Let's go, Sakura. I'll take you to that factory first. If nothing unexpected happens, Hotaru should be here soon."

On the way to the Evil Eye Factory, Juexi also saw many rebels using the Evil Eye.

"Oh, Teppei..."

Sighing as he was, this was the path he chose. As expected, Jue Xi didn't see any stragglers after entering the factory; those guys were really something. Jue Xi had absolute confidence in Sakura, so he directly gave the Fools in the Evil Eye Factory paid leave, of course, at Rosalind's expense…

Although they initially refused... Jue Xi's words persuaded the fools to give up.

"Hey, you guys don't want to see your boss, Rosalyn, get punished for secretly opening the Evil Eye Factory in Inazuma and affecting my plans, and then I report her to the Winter Queen, right?"

After arranging everything, Juexi returned to the Domination Theater and started cooking dinner, talking to herself as she cooked.

"Oh dear, the Inatsuma trip is almost over."

Meanwhile, inside the sanatorium on the other side...

Qianjie found it amusing to look at the reluctant soldier in front of him who had to change the patient's dressing because of Aponia.

"Hey! Kid, if you didn't want to do it, why did you come back? Weren't you going to help Juexi with something?"

"Hmph, I didn't realize someone had a habit of eavesdropping on other people's conversations."

"Kid, I think you want to go from taking care of others to being taken care of, right?"

As Qianjie spoke, he placed his hand on the arm of the stragglers.

"Kid, tell me, if I tear it apart, will it be bloody flesh and bones, or scattered, creaking parts on the ground?"

The soldier hated being called a "puppet" the most, and he shook off Qianjie's hand on his shoulder and glared at him angrily.

"A thousand tribulations!"

"Hahahaha! Very good, very good. Come on! Let me see how you are different when you're angry."

Before the soldier could reply, Qianjie pulled him away, leaving the bewildered patient halfway through changing his dressing.

"what about me?"

……

Aponia next door is talking to Velvi about something.

"Is that puppet kingdom still around? Aponia. I really want to observe it closely."

Aponia was somewhat sad.

“Vilvie, please don’t call that poor child that. His name is now Sanbing.”

"Oh, okay, Aponia. Skirmisher's been coming around a lot lately, hasn't he? Where is he?"

He is currently...

Before Aponia could finish speaking, she heard the sounds of fighting outside.

Looking at the happy Qianjie and the disheveled little boy, Wilvi understood.

"It's really lively here. This puppet, no, this skirmisher, is not bad."

Although Vervier praised them verbally, her gaze toward the skirmishers was unusually fervent.

Aponia didn't say anything. Although Velvi appeared to be like that, she knew exactly what kind of person Velvi was.

……

After some time, the Traveler and Paimon had just rested and decided to visit the ruins of the Demon God War...

Side story~ (Is it related to the main story at all~?)

Juexi, still sleepy, rubbed her eyes.

"Qibao, why does this bed feel so hard today..."

When Juexi opened her eyes, stood up, and looked around, she felt completely numb.

"Where am I?!"

Jue Xi opened her eyes and found herself lying in front of a small villa. A little girl with pale skin and hair covering one eye walked out of the door. The little girl looked cautiously at the unfamiliar man in front of her, and finally decided to speak first.

"Excuse me, big brother, who are you? What are you doing at the entrance of the House of Hyora?"

Jue Xi looked at this...emmmm, she didn't seem to be a girl anymore; to be precise, she was a young woman. Jue Xi pondered this somewhat familiar-looking young woman.

"Thera, the house? Natasha Thera? Raven's house? What's going on? I've transmigrated again? When did Raven open such a big orphanage? She's throwing a tantrum, crying and screaming."

Although the girl was a little scared, and although her older sister Seele had told her not to talk to strangers, she felt that this older brother shouldn't be a bad person. She also noticed the doubt in the man's eyes when he mentioned the House of Shiora, and she mustered her courage and took a few steps forward.

"Um, big brother. My name is Kong, you can just call me Xiao Kong. Are you feeling unwell?"

Juexi remembered when he heard the name, and he walked over happily to pat Xiaokong's head.

"Oh, Xiao Kong! How come you've grown so tall?"

Although Xiao Kong was a little scared, she didn't hide.

"Um, brother. Do we know each other?"

"You don't know your brother, but your brother knows you."

Xiao Kong didn't say anything...

Jue Xi realized that what she said might easily be misunderstood. Would she now be seen as a pedophile who spied on girls' lives? Jue Xi quickly explained.

"Ahem, Xiao Kong, don't overthink it. Your brother knows your sister Mei and sister Seele, and also your teacher, Natasha Theora, and Raven. I just didn't expect that you would all be doing so well after the Honkai ended. Raven's wish has come true, and you don't have to cry and make a fuss anymore."

Xiao Kong was initially quite suspicious that this strange older brother was a weirdo, until he mentioned that his teacher had been crying and making a scene, and then she believed that he wasn't a bad person... After all, she had only told Mei-neechan about that incident, and really, how could Mei-neechan tell anyone else about it? Xiao Kong thought to herself as she cautiously inquired.

"So, big brother, what's your name?"

"Oh, right, Xiao Kong, you can just call me Brother Juexi."

"Okay, Brother Juexi. Do you know the teacher?"

"Of course. Your teacher Raven and I are old acquaintances."

As Jue Xi said this, she thought to herself, "Aside from not being able to unleash her ultimate move, Lady Raven is actually quite useful."

"really?"

"Of course it's true."

"Then, Brother Juexi, how come you don't know about the House of Xiola?"

"Um, well... I just got back not long ago."

Juexi couldn't possibly say that she suddenly traveled back in time this morning.

Xiao Kong suddenly realized why he felt that Jue Xi looked familiar; he must have met her before.

"But Brother Juexi, were you lying on the ground just now?"

"..."

"Xiao Kong, you've mistaken me for someone else."

"Um, okay. Then, Brother Juexi, would you like to come in and take a look?"

"Okay."

……

Looking at the sweet and cozy decorations inside the room, Juexi found it hard to believe that they came from the hands of that ruthless Raven.

"How is it, Brother Juexi?"

"It's beautiful and cozy. Congratulations, Xiao Kong! It's so gratifying that you've finally settled down."
