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

"Oh dear~ Your little sister Ying looks so pitiful, I'm so worried about you, Jue Xi~"

Jue Xi glanced back at Qi Bao, still quite afraid of upsetting his wife. Seeing that Kiana didn't seem displeased, Jue Xi then retorted to Rosalin.

"Comrade Rosalyn, you have a problem with your thinking. How could you think of me and the traveler in that kind of relationship? We have a pure comradeship between us."

Rosalyn looked at her with an expression that said, "Even if you kill me, I won't believe you."

"Hmph~ I don't believe you for a second. You're a wicked guy. You've probably been playing that stupid traveler for a fool for a long time. She's really pathetic, but she's also incredibly arrogant. She thinks she can beat you? She can't even beat me."

Jue Xi thought to herself, "Can't beat you? I'll just beat you to death."

Alicia also stepped in to help.

"Hey, everyone, stop arguing. If you ask me, Ying must be a very kind and lovely girl. Anyone would be upset in that situation. Look, she almost started fighting with the Inazuma people and the Inazuma gods. Stop arguing, let's watch."

Juexi glanced at Kiana again. Kiana was silently eating popcorn, and something seemed off... As Juexi's gaze shifted from Kiana, she saw Mei looking at her with a resentful expression. That look clearly meant Kiana was unhappy, and she needed to go and comfort her...

Jue Xi moved closer to Kiana and took one of her arms.

"Qibao~"

Before she could finish speaking, the little rabbit said in a cheeky tone.

"~TvT~ You're not angry, are you~~"

Jue Xi was a little angry.

"Hey!"

"I can guess what you, a straight man, are going to say. It's so easy to understand otaku."

I was just a little angry, but that sentence was really offensive.

"you!"

Kiana tugged at Juexi's hand.

"Captain... I'm not angry, hehe. I was thinking we should add Yingmei back. You even deleted her from my phone last time, we went too far. You saw it too, she was really worried about you just now."

I'm heartbroken and speechless. My precious Qibao is truly an angel!

Kiana then brought her mouth close to Juexi's ear and whispered something in a voice that only he could hear.

"And, Captain, you were peeking at me right away, weren't you? I felt it, hehe. I never expected you to be so worried about me being unhappy~ Master~ I'm so happy~"

Jue Xi blushed immediately, her face turning bright red. Then, she looked around at everyone with a guilty conscience.

Before the others could say anything, Kiana suddenly spoke up.

"Captain! Why are you blushing?"

"Qibao, you!"

Alicia immediately came over.

"Really? It's so cute~"

Jue Xi placed her hands on her cheeks, forcing herself to calm down.

Kiana was a little disappointed.

"How can you still use your powers, Captain? You're cheating."

Jue Xi gently pinched Kiana's cheek to show her displeasure.

"You can't learn everything from Ellie anymore. Of all the things you've learned, you've learned to flirt with people."

Kiana naturally draped her legs over one of Juexi's legs, then wrapped her arms around Juexi's neck and leaned her head on Juexi's shoulder. Although the two had done all sorts of intimate things that night, Kiana had never been so intimate in front of everyone during the day... Kiana blushed a little.

"This... is what Ellie taught me... Do you like it, Captain..."

Jue Xi swallowed hard...

Alicia noticed that Juexi was embarrassed, so she put her arms around Eden on one arm and Mei on the other.

"How could Jue Xi be so unreasonable? She doesn't care about our feelings at all."

Eden smiled but didn't say anything, leaving Mei speechless.

"Ellie, aren't you the same way..."

The little rabbit was getting a headache.

"Are you guys still watching? Those two have finished chatting and started fighting."

The group then turned their attention back to the screen.

Castle Keep

Ying struggled to dodge Ying's attacks. Although she couldn't win, she wouldn't lose in a short time either. Ying herself was somewhat surprised at how capable she was. Perhaps it was the Divine Child's "Anti-Lightning General Training" that was working. And why did she feel that her sword was slower than Sakura's? It must be her imagination.

......

Shadow's eyes flashed with purple lightning, and Ying also felt herself getting more and more exhausted as the fight progressed. When Ying managed to block Shadow's sword and fly away, she could hardly stand up straight. At this moment, Ying suddenly remembered the amulet that the divine child had given her.

Ying took out the pink amulet, and after a burst of pink light, Yae no Miko also appeared in this space.

"Divine Child...is this your plan?"

When the goddess heard what the shadow said, she was as happy as if she had heard a joke. Perhaps she would be happy if she talked to the shadow.

"Don't forget who taught you to harbor your consciousness in objects, my lord."

After saying this, the divine child bent down and moved closer to Ying.

“Little guy, you don’t actually think that your ‘wishes’ alone can overcome the will of the shadows, do you? Although you are here, ‘their wishes’ have already been placed on you.”

So, close your eyes.

'Reaching the depths of the Silent Sea...'

To become the greatest swordsman in the world...

Shadow waited silently as Firefly stood up, watching golden light gradually gather around her, and a ring of purple eyes unfolded behind Shadow. Shadow closed her eyes, thinking to herself, "Is this 'the people's wish'? Absolutely not. But do you really think something so ethereal can defeat me?"

I want to see pure white snow...

"To avenge a single sword strike..."

"Find a way to heal your daughter..."

"I hope to be treated equally..."

"..."

"I hope the Eye Hunting Order can be abolished!"

After Ying stood up straight again, Ying also opened her eyes.

......

The divine child revealed a rare expression of melancholy. He both hoped that Ying could defeat his general, yet he did not want to see his general lose.

Finally, the divine child spoke in a somewhat forlorn tone.

"Ah...you've lost, Shadow."

Ying seemed quite relieved, and her tone even seemed to reveal some happiness.

"Ah...yes...I have lost, Divine Child."

The divine child walked up to the shadow.

Why not try to trust your people? Trust in the power of their desires?

"When people go all out... they can even take over the work of the gods."

The goddess turned around and looked at Ying, who had suddenly spoken, with some curiosity. This little guy was usually not very talkative.

"Is this what you gained on your journey in Liyue?"

"Yes."

"A nation where humanity races forward, leaving the gods behind...?"

After saying this, the divine child turned to look at the shadow.

"But why should we just give up on moving forward on our own... wishful thinking?"

"Moving forward, the losses we've both witnessed... Only eternity, only eternity can..."

...

The goddess listened to Ying talk a lot about the nation, the people, promises, and eternity. She was a little unhappy; this country bumpkin hadn't thought about herself at all.

"In short, all you want is to protect your beloved Inazuma forever, right?"

The shadow looked like it didn't understand.

“Divine Child, you are underestimating it too much.”

"Heh, but does such a country have any value in its eternal existence? Without desire, without change, it's just an empty shell, a mere shell of a country. What does it matter if it's destroyed?"

Ying frowned.

“Divine Child! Take back your delusions! This eternal promise, unchanging through countless generations, is a promise I have made to my people.”

"But is it possible that your subjects don't need your promises, but rather want your 'gaze'?"

"Humans only live for a hundred years, and they cannot bear the loss of such things. Only I, who have experienced all of this, will choose to guide them to the right 'eternity'."

The divine child sighed.

“But ‘eternity’ is too cruel for you, Shadow.”

"for me?"

"You no longer look at the world, and you no longer look at yourself either. You must have been very lonely here all these centuries."

The originally fierce-looking Ying softened inexplicably upon hearing these words, and her tone even seemed somewhat aggrieved.

"But, but it's necessary."

Ying looked at the Divine Child with admiration. She thought to herself, "As expected of you, High Priestess. I really wanted to say something earlier: 'What right do you have to make choices for your people?' But thankfully I didn't. Didn't expect the Divine Child to use this appeasement tactic?" Ying looked fierce, but why did she seem a little foolish?

The divine child immediately struck while the iron was hot.

"If you don't move forward, you'll miss out on so much... Even if you remain still until eternity, aren't you also losing something? Enduring this loneliness, you choose to infinitely stretch its measure for the sake of eternity..."
