"Captain, you need to make things clear tonight, or you're not allowed in bed."

Kiana whispered to Juexi, not wanting Yingmei to hear.

"Alright, alright, it's getting late. We've worried everyone. Let's go back and rest early."

On their way back to the inn, the group encountered "True Lord Liuyun Borrowing Wind," who spoke to them.

"Who are you? There are strange phenomena near Dihua Isle. Leave immediately."

"The bird is talking!"

Paimon was shocked.

"How dare you! I am the 'True Lord of Cloud Retention and Wind Borrowing'. I will let it go since you are not from Liyue and do not know who I am."

After saying that, he flew towards Dihua Isle.

"Traveler, is this...True Lord going to find Juexi?"

Before Yingmei could speak, Juexi whispered from the side.

"Shh... It's better to avoid trouble. Go back to sleep. Tomorrow is the 'Seven Stars Invitation Ceremony,' and Little Paimon, you don't want to miss it tomorrow because you didn't get enough rest today, do you?"

"Okay, let's go back and rest."

Inside Wangshu Inn...

As soon as Juexi entered the room, she wanted to throw herself onto the bed, but Kiana grabbed her by the back of her collar.

"Captain, confess and you will be treated leniently; resist and you will be punished severely."

"Well, here's what happened."

……

"Can I go to bed now?"

"Call me next time something like this happens, Captain."

"Good good."

After saying that, he kissed Kiana.

"I know my daughter Qibao is worried about me."

"Hmph ╯^╰, it's not your Qibao."

She acted all haughty, but then lay down on the bed and gave up half of her space.

Knowing that she had a proud and arrogant Kiana, Juexi immediately went up and hugged her.

"Qibao~"

"what?!"

Jue Xi kissed Kiana deeply.

……

……

"No... Captain, I'm a little scared..."

Kiana blushed and wouldn't let Juexi go any further.

"My Qibao has nothing to be afraid of?"

Jue Xi chuckled wickedly.

"I don't know either. My heart is beating so fast right now, Captain. I'm nervous, like... like when I failed an exam before. But, but, I was scared then, and now I'm scared but also a little happy."

Kiana blushed and stammered.

"Well, let's call it a day then. We have plenty of time later. I'll stay with you the whole time."

After saying that, Juexi patted her head.

"captain……"

Kiana blushed, seemingly lost in thought and making a decision. Her voice trailed off, and Juexi couldn't hear what she said next.

"What did you say?"

Kiana wrapped her arms tightly around Juexi, kissing him while also wrapping her legs around his waist.

"don't want……"

"What don't you want?"

"No means no, you idiot captain!"

"What do you mean? Qibao, I know you don't want to right now. Let's rest first. How can we sleep if you're like this?"

"Don't rest now, you bad guy!"

Upon hearing Qi Bao's shy tone, Jue Xi immediately understood the girl's reserve.

"Good~"

……

……

……

"Captain...you...did you...intend to do this from the very beginning...?"

"Kiana, you're so cute, of course I like you. When we first officially met on the moon, I decided I wanted you to be my wife."

"What if I'm not cute...?"

"Kiana is Kiana, cute or not, she's still you; frank or not, she's still you. I just love you. I've witnessed the experiences and growth of this girl named Kiana along the way. She's a silly girl, covered in wounds, yet still willing to believe in 'good' and fight for all the good things in the world. I find her incredibly adorable. Now, Captain, I'm quite powerful too, so you can rely on me a little, okay?"

Hearing Jue Xi's words, Kiana tried to cover her eyes with one hand and punched him with her other fist.

"Idiot Captain! Don't say things like that right after doing something like this!"

"Hehe, whose kitten is this? Why is it crying? Don't cry."

Kiana slapped away the hand that Captain was reaching out to wipe her tears, and immediately flipped over and straddled Juexi.

"Huh? We'll still be there tomorrow..."

"I do not care!"

……

Chapter 48 Passing Away?

the next day……

"Good morning...traveler..."

Paimon yawned and greeted Yingmei.

"Hey, why are your dark circles so bad? Are you not used to sleeping in this inn?"

Yingmei was on the verge of tears. "You're so carefree, sleeping so soundly. I really couldn't sleep in the middle of the night." When Paimon asked her, Yingmei remembered the noise from next door in the middle of the night and blushed. She gave Paimon a flick on the forehead.

"What are you doing! You're bullying me, I'm going to find Juexi! Humph~"

Paimon was about to fly directly to the next room.

"No!" Yingmei quickly stopped Paimon when she saw this. Yesterday... they should have just gone to sleep.

"Traveler... Don't worry, it's alright. I was just joking with you. I definitely won't leave you. Paimon will always be with you. We're best friends."

Seeing Ying's serious expression, Paimon stopped talking as well.

"Okay, Paimon. Juexi and the others probably didn't get enough rest yesterday either. Let's go downstairs and buy breakfast ourselves, and bring some for them too."

"it is good."

Yingmei and Xiaopaimeng saw a familiar figure at the breakfast counter of the inn.

"Oh, the end!"

"Oh? Good morning, Yingmei and Paimon!"

"You...you, what are you doing here?"

Ying was already a bit socially anxious, and after listening to Juexi and Kiana doing *that* all night... now she even started stuttering when she saw Juexi speaking.

"What's wrong, Yingmei? I was thinking of making some breakfast for Qibao, because I'm worried she won't like the food bought outside."

I want to eat your cooking too!

Paimon spoke up directly, and Ying couldn't keep an eye on him at all. She could only look apologetically at Juexi, just like a naughty child causing trouble for outsiders.

"I'll definitely do it next time, Paimon. I just finished. I'm going to take Qibao to eat; she hasn't had a good rest."

At this moment, Juexi also noticed that Yingmei's expression was off. He figured it must be because of Qibao's voice yesterday. Feeling guilty, Juexi took the porridge he had cooked and left.

After watching Juexi leave, Paimon muttered to himself.

"Why are you all acting so strangely today?"

"Let's eat quickly, Paimon. We'll go ask someone where the 'Seven Stars Summoning Immortals Ceremony' is later."

"Oh, aren't we going with Juexi and the others?"

"We can't stay with them all the time, and besides, I have a feeling that Juexi might not go to invite the Immortal Ceremony today."

"Why?"

"Children, don't ask."

Yingmei's face turned slightly red.

"Fine, don't tell me then. I'm not a child anymore, hmph!"

And the other side

"Qibao, are you hungry? Come and try the porridge I made for you."

"I'm so tired, you damn captain, I want to sleep."

"Come on, let me feed you, ah~"
