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

"Hua~~ Where are you? Why aren't you at my house yet? The captain has already prepared the meal, where are you?"

Hua replied, worried that Kiana might be concerned.

"We're almost there, um, Kiana-sensei (...teacher)."

Before he could even utter the word "teacher," Kiana interrupted him.

"Don't call me teacher."

"Um, Kiana, can I bring a friend?"

"of course!"

Kiana replied happily, "This is the first time the class monitor has made friends! That's right, it's the first time, not counting myself. I want to see what kind of friends the class monitor has made." Kiana continued.

"Then I'll wait for you at home, Hua~"

Kiana hung up the phone after speaking, and Carol spoke up after that.

"Yay! Today I can go to the house of the most mysterious young couple of teachers in the whole school!"

Hua didn't want to discourage Carol. After all, she felt that Jue Xi and the other two weren't that mysterious; perhaps she hadn't thought about it enough.

Before long, Hua led Carol to Juexi and Kiana's house.

Kiana, hearing the knock, went to open the door with great interest, complaining as she did so.

"Hua, you're finally here! I was going to starve to death if you hadn't come soon."

Jue Xi, seeing the people around Hua, knew that disaster was inevitable. Seeing Carol meant that a Herrscher would be born within six months at most.

Carol~

Chapter 128 The Calm Before the Storm (It shouldn't be considered erotica, hehe~)

Carol, of course, had no idea what Jue Xi was thinking, and looked at Kiana and said casually.

"Teacher Kiana! You're so beautiful!"

Kiana, who was at home with Juexi, naturally dressed more lightly than she usually did at school, since there were no outsiders at home.

Kiana looked at the energetic girl in front of her and couldn't remember who she was for a moment. She called her teacher... But even if she couldn't remember all the students' names, she should at least be familiar with them. She hadn't seen this classmate before. Just as Kiana was pondering, Carol finally reacted and introduced herself.

"Oh, right, you probably don't know me. Hello, Kiana-sensei. I'm from Class 5 next door. My name is Carol. I've heard about you for a long time! I'm so glad to finally meet you today."

Hua looked at Juexi somewhat awkwardly, thinking to herself, "Carol really can't see Juexi at all."

Jue Xi had no idea what Hua was thinking. Looking at Carol, Jue Xi noticed she seemed a little uneasy, as if she was injured. Thinking back, it made sense; Hua had punched the "death squad" and saved Carol in the original incident. After Jue Xi transmigrated, she realized this wasn't a game, but reality. There were no healing packs from fighting monsters, and injuries left untreated were very serious.

Jue Xi asked directly.

"Hua, what happened to you on your way here?"

Hua and Carol both looked at Juexi at the same time when they heard this.

Carol then noticed that someone else had blurted it out.

"Are you the Chinese teacher from the class next door who's always sick?"

"what?"

Jue Xi was dumbfounded. All she had done was slack off a few times and ask Qi Bao to help her with her lessons.

Carol realized she might have said something wrong, and after a moment's thought, she remembered that Hua had mentioned a name before, so she said...

"Oh, no, you're Teacher Juexi, right? I'm so sorry."

Juexi nodded and said.

"It's okay, let's go, let's eat first."

……

"Hmm~"

Carol made happy sounds as she ate the delicious food.

"It's so delicious! These are all dishes I've never seen before. Teacher Juexi is amazing!"

"Eat slowly, haha, Carol, why are you just as greedy as my Qibao?"

Juexi replied with a smile, after all, it makes her happy when others like the food she makes.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but Hua ate a lot this time. He must have been exhausted from fighting the "death squad".

Fortunately, Juexi heard on the phone that Hua had brought friends over and done a lot more, otherwise it really wouldn't have been enough.

Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating (except for Kiana), Juexi asked as well.

"By the way, Hua, what happened to you? Right?"

Hua nodded, recalling his encounter with Carol on the road.

"That's right, we encountered a strange... human-like but not human creature, we heard it's like... a 'zombie'?"

Kiana was shocked upon hearing this, and even stopped eating.

Kiana thought to herself, "Yeah, ever since I met Mu Juexi... ha, I've really fallen from grace. First I went to Teyvat, a world without the 'Honkai,' and I slowly became too comfortable. I'd completely forgotten that the world I've returned to is a pre-Honkai civilization destroyed... I wonder how Mei and the others are doing? The Captain said before that time in the original world was paused after I arrived in Teyvat. They should be alright..."

Juexi keenly noticed that Kiana had put all her chopsticks on the table and asked with concern.

"What's wrong, Qibao?"

Kiana gave an awkward laugh.

"Ah, it's nothing, Captain, hehe."

Jue Xi thought to herself, "Qi Bao is probably thinking about the 'Death Squad.' Six months... Sigh, six months after this incident, Canghai City will be destroyed by the 'Herrscher of Thunder.' Should I do something? Tsk... Why do I feel a little unaccustomed to the absence of the damn system?"

Kiana thought to herself, "I shouldn't worry the captain. I'm the Herrscher of the End now; I should be able to help the previous civilization through this crisis. Besides, the captain is also a Herrscher of the End now, so two of us should be enough. Moreover, the captain has some strange quirks about him, and that strange swordsmanship of his is quite powerful."

The two were each lost in their own thoughts, and the atmosphere became awkward for a moment.

Carol tried to lighten the mood by saying something.

"Well, 'zombies' aren't that scary, teachers. Don't be afraid. If things get out of hand, the higher-ups will intervene, right? Besides, Hua is really amazing. She's the one who saved me just now. Let me tell you, I was cornered by that 'zombie,' it was holding a long knife and it scared me to death. Just at the critical moment, Hua, whoosh! She stepped in front of me and stood there. She was so cool! That clumsy 'zombie' slashed at Hua several times, but she dodged them all. Then, after a few punches, Hua beat it back... and then she dragged me away. Hehe, so teachers, don't be afraid, Hua is really amazing."

Carol assumed the two teachers were silent because they were scared by the "zombies," and continued talking to herself for a while. Hua, standing to the side, thought, "Carol, whatever makes you happy, don't worry about whether I live or die." She felt so awkward; was it just her imagination...?

Jue Xi was amused by Carol. She and Qi Bao... were afraid of "death squads"? Also, it was fortunate that Hua was skilled; right now, she would probably die from a single stab.

"Thank you for your concern, Carol. Kiana and I know a little self-defense. You and Hua must have been injured earlier. I'll treat you later. By the way, that's not called a 'zombie,' it's called a 'death squad.'"

Jue Xi explained, turning to look at Qi Bao...

Kiana spent a long time thinking in the past few minutes, using up too many of her brain cells. After concluding that she and the captain were "invincible," she started eating again... Kiana felt that although she hadn't been thinking about anything, she had still worked hard.

Jue Xi was somewhat speechless. At this moment, Jue Xi even wondered if she was overthinking things. How could Kiana be like her, worrying about this and that? So carefree… But, wasn't this the Kiana she most wanted to see? Carefree and innocent…

After a while...

After Qi Bao finished eating, Jue Xi cleaned up the table and the kitchen, and then planned to check where the two of them were injured.

Juexi took out the first-aid kit she had bought on a whim. She had plenty of money, and it was cheap; the little box was quite cute. Even though she and Qibao wouldn't use it, it would still make the house look like a home. This time, it would actually come in handy.

Hua waved his hand at Juexi.

"Um, Teacher Juexi. I'm not seriously injured. Could you check on Carol first? She twisted her ankle; she was running with me for a long time just now."

Seeing how worried Hua was, Carol snuggled up to Hua and hugged her, saying excitedly.

"Hua~ You're so good to me~ Why aren't you a boy? If you were a boy, I would want to be your girlfriend."

Hua blushed and said awkwardly.

"No, don't joke around."

"hey-hey."

Jue Xi coughed beside her, thinking to herself, "Girls are so close." However, Jue Xi's assessment was that it wasn't as good as her and Kiana's "intimate moments" at night.

"Hua, let me take a look at your injury first. Your hand is injured, isn't it? You can treat it quickly."

Juexi held Hua's hand with one hand and used a cotton swab (soaked in safflower oil) to wipe the back of Hua's hand with the other, saying as she did so.

"Look, it's all swollen."

Hua felt a little embarrassed; this was the first time in all her years that she had been held hands by another boy… and besides…

"Um, Teacher Juexi, it seems like you can't apply safflower oil like that. It should probably be poured directly onto your hand and rubbed on..."

Jue Xi, seeing the somewhat embarrassed "Immortal" (Hua's nickname), felt a surge of playfulness. After all, seeing an "Immortal" who blush was a rare treat.

"What? Does Hua want to have more contact with me?"

Hua is also directly in the red temperature range...

"without……"

Jue Xi didn't tease Hua anymore, and lied to her.

"This is not ordinary safflower oil, it's my special formula. It works immediately after application, it's very effective, and you can't buy it outside. If you don't believe me, wait a moment and you'll see the swelling go down right away."

After all, Jue Xi couldn't exactly admit that he knew absolutely nothing about medicine and relied entirely on his "creation" power. Such a thing was still too early for Hua.

Hua wasn't afraid of being embarrassed and spoke her mind frankly.

"Um, Teacher Juexi, this safflower oil is from the XX brand..."

……

The situation became awkward for a moment.

Carol also felt that this Teacher Juexi was so handsome and had such a beautiful girlfriend as Kiana, so why was he still so improper, using lame excuses to take advantage of young girls... Even though he cooked very well, her opinion of him still dropped a bit.

He resorted to sophistry and deceit.

"This bottle... I just picked one randomly."

Hua didn't say anything more. After all, they had known each other for so long, and Teacher Juexi was indeed very capable.

In no time, I finished applying the ointment and called it a day.

"Is it all better now?"

Hua didn't care much. This Teacher Juexi was really something. He wasn't some kind of magic pill, so how could he recover so quickly? But Hua still stretched out his hands for the two of them to see.

"It's not that good..."
