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

Ying understood somewhat.

"Is this why you saved me?"

The divine child did not answer her question.

"You...have seen her, haven't you?"

"You mean General Thunder?"

"I'm not talking about that 'doll,' I mean...you should have seen 'her,' right?"

"You mean in that 'space'?"

The divine child nodded in satisfaction.

"Yes, the true Thunder General who engages in endless meditation in the Pure Land of One Heart in order to maintain his 'self'... his name is 'Shadow'."

Inside the "Dominion Theater" at this moment...

Ying ate instant noodles in a depressed mood. Had he really been isolated for too long? It had only been five hundred years, so how come these strange people under Jue Xi's command all seemed to be stronger than him?

Although he, Sakura, and Mei, who looked exactly like him, were evenly matched, Kage could clearly sense that they were both holding back. Meanwhile, Vilvie had completely messed up his doll, and he couldn't even touch Alicia when they fought. Only these two were lazy and good-for-nothing (definitely not referring to himself)...

Shadow's gaze swept over Kiana and "Little Rabbit"...

"Aaaaaaah! How did I lose again?!"

The little rabbit looked like a little devil.

"Hey, Kiana, no offense, but with your skill level, you're practically a single-celled organism! No wonder Master calls you a paramecium!"

Kiana was furious! This girl clearly has the same face as Bronya, but her expression is so much more irritating than Bronya's! (Because Bronya is emotionless and taciturn)

"You are not allowed to call the captain 'master'!"

The little rabbit was puzzled.

"why?"

"You need to call me host!"

"Why do you care what I call you? I call you Master. If I don't, are you the one who has to?"

"you!"

Kiana pounced on the bunny and started tickling it...

Ying couldn't understand a word these two were saying. He couldn't very well go and spar with these two not-so-bright people, could he? (Little Rabbit: You're slandering me!)

Shadow sighed inwardly. It seemed he was now a far cry from the person he once was, someone who sought to achieve 'eternity'. The puppets he'd intended to use to control him... were now all dismantled by Velvet, and he had to do everything himself when servants came looking for him. Sigh. He wondered what the Divine Child was doing right now...

Thinking of the Divine Child, Shadow shook her head vigorously. No! She couldn't continue down this path of depravity. How could she think like this? She had witnessed the tragedy of Kanria firsthand; the painful and sorrowful memories of that time were still vivid in her mind.

The shadow talks to itself.

"I am determined to uphold 'eternity'!"

After saying this, Shadow left the "Domination Theater" and returned to her own Pure Land of One Heart. She would become a puppet again. She absolutely could not let the tragedy repeat itself, she absolutely could not let the people of Inazuma, her only remaining divine child... she absolutely could not repeat the same mistake!

Chapter 187 Dream on!

'Aponia Sanatorium'...

This was Xin Hai and Jue Xi's first meeting.

"Hello, you must be the Mr. Juexi that Miss Aponia and Paimon often mention?"

Jue Xi glanced at Xin Hai, thinking to herself that this was the first time she had seen Xin Hai alive. This girl was cunning and shrewd, so she shouldn't talk to her too much.

"Let's not waste any more time on small talk. I'm sure you, Xin Hai, the backbone of the resistance, are very busy. I'd better not take up too much of your time."

Xin Hai sensed that Jue Xi seemed to have some prejudice against him, and was clearly not easy to talk to. However, since he was the real mastermind behind this sanatorium, he naturally had some extraordinary abilities.

"Mr. Juexi is joking."

Jue Xi waved her hand, stopping Xin Hai from continuing.

"First of all, I apologize to you on behalf of my colleague, Ms. Xin Hai. I will try my best to help you resolve some of the harm caused by the 'Evil Eye'."

Xin Hai was slightly surprised, but she didn't show it. Her mind raced, considering the relationships between the members of the Fatui and whether this matter carried any risks, ultimately...

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Juexi. Please feel free to ask if you need anything in the future."

Juexi became interested upon hearing this. She had thought Xinhai would refuse, after all, she had just been tricked by the Fools, and what she had just said clearly made it clear that she was a member of the Fools.

"Xinhai, you seem to trust me a lot?"

Xin Hai calmly explained.

"When I accepted this sudden help, I should have thought it through more carefully, but the situation was urgent, and there was no better way. As for the 'Evil Eye'... opportunities naturally come with risks. The Fatui only provided us with the tools, and it was my fault that this happened. Moreover, after doing something like this, the Fatui had no reason to provide treatment. So, this sanatorium and helping the soldiers affected by the 'Evil Eye' were probably your own ideas, weren't they?"

Jue Xi felt somewhat embarrassed, unsure of what to say. She had only intended to help Zhe Ping, but now that Zhe Ping had said this, she couldn't just help one person. How could this woman trust her so much? She was a member of the Foolish Ones...

Xin Hai looked at Jue Xi without speaking, then seemed to remember something and continued.

"Besides, I often hear Paimon mention you."

Jue Xi was a little confused. Xiao Pai Meng had mentioned himself?

"Huh? What did He say about me?"

Xin Hai said it in a joking tone.

"Paymon always says that Juexi is a 'great person'."

(But the actual situation is like this...)

(Xin Hai: "Traveler, Paimon, I often hear you mention Jue Xi. What kind of person is he?")

(Paimon was furious when he heard this. Although the Traveler should have been even angrier, given the relationship between Paimon and Luminous, Paimon spoke up for the Traveler as if it were perfectly natural.)

("Hmph! That guy is a two-faced bastard! I even called him a good person before. When I see him again, I'm going to give him a really nasty nickname!")

(Fire seemed less angry, and just told Paimon that he shouldn't give people nicknames so casually next time, as it was a bit disrespectful...)

Jue Xi looked shocked, clearly not believing it, but how did Xin Hai know about this? It was a bit unbelievable.

"Think what you want, you can leave now, I need to work."

Xin Hai smiled.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Xi."

After speaking, Xin Hai left the ward and quietly sipped Aponia's tea in the lobby. Hadn't she considered refusing? What if this Fatui executor had some ill intentions? In the past, she might have thought more carefully, but now she had no better choice. Perhaps she could gamble that he might actually do something good? After all, the Traveler didn't seem to dislike Jue Xi that much; Paimon had called him a good person, which meant he had done good deeds before. Besides, given the current strength of her Sea Island resistance... it wasn't worth the Fatui wasting their time and energy. Sigh! But then again, why would he help her for no reason? It was truly perplexing...

Just as she was feeling conflicted, Aponia appeared behind her without her noticing.

"Miss Xin Hai..."

Hearing that familiar and ethereal voice, she knew it was Aponia.

Xin Hai quickly wanted to stand up and greet them, after all, this was their place, and he had subconsciously sat down to drink tea. Was he inexplicably too relaxed...?

"Ms. Aponia..."

Aponia gently pressed down on Xinhai's shoulder from behind, indicating that she didn't need to be so reserved.

"Miss Xinhai, you seem very troubled."

Xin Hai fell silent, feeling a strange sensation in front of this Aponia.

"without..."

"Don't worry, Miss Xin Hai. Everything will be alright..."

On Juexi's side, he was playing on his phone in the ward. As for the patient? He had already recovered. The patient had only aged because he had lost too much life force. He had the 'creation' power of the Herrscher of Death, and Honkai energy was all-powerful. Did he understand? He didn't go out because he was afraid that going out too quickly would arouse suspicion.

"Ugh...so boring. At this rate, that lady's probably going to kill herself with her antics soon. Just in case, I should probably knock her out and capture her later. Also, Teyvat is so boring. What kind of stuff are the novelists under the Divine Child writing? It's not as good as 'Killing Blade' I read before I transmigrated. (Those who know, know what I mean.) After I'm done with my research, I'll make up Kiana's story and show it to these people in Teyvat. They're living too well; I need to feed them something good. Hahaha~"

Unlike Juexi's situation, our imprisoned travelers...

"Ugh, this 'Anti-Lightning General Special Training' is way too difficult!!!"

......

"I'm seriously speechless! How come it started raining halfway through the game?!"

......

The goddess secretly chuckled as she looked at the panting traveler. How could someone as clumsy as her possibly beat that country bumpkin? It was definitely not because she was angry after seeing Juexi and Ying leave, or because she wanted to make things difficult for Ying, that she increased the difficulty. Absolutely not.

After a period of time, one (hundred million)...

Ying arrived at the Divine Child's side, panting. Although she didn't know why, she just wanted to say something...

"No...that's all!"

The goddess was still a little surprised; she hadn't expected this little guy to have some skill. However, she covered her mouth with one hand and chuckled softly.

"Hehe~ Look at you, all covered in dust and dirt. If you went to wash your face before saying that, it would be even more convincing, little guy~"

Paimon looked at Ying with a hint of heartache, and perhaps she had exhausted her? Paimon stood with his hands on his hips, looking very tired.

"You've certainly had a good workout... By the way, why do you know so much about General Raiden, Divine Child?"

"Huh? You're asking me? Maybe it's because... I am the 'Thor's Familiar'."

"Oh... wait! Eh? Something like the relationship between Dvalin and Barbatos? I really couldn't tell..."

Upon hearing this, the divine child gave the traveler a seductive look.

"Hehe~ So it sounds like you're more interested in my 'Miss Fox' appearance?"

Ying nodded, intrigued. (She had unknowingly been assimilated by the scumbag fox and become scum herself. Oh, and just remembered, Arataki Kazuto is still lying at home right now. The demon is allergic to beans and hasn't recovered from his match with Miko.)

"Want to see... Interested!!"

"Dream on!"

Chapter 188 The last moment

Paimon scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.

The divine child, however, was deeply saddened.

"The strange thing isn't my appearance, but that we no longer see each other, is it? An unchanging kingdom was once our shared dream, but I don't believe that means complete 'stillness.' From a certain moment on, she embarked on a path that became increasingly unreachable for me..."

"Ah, perhaps it's just wishful thinking on my part. This might be Ying's way of keeping friendship lasting. That way, our relationship can remain as it was back then forever, or at least that's what she thinks."
