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

"It's just that people have different physical constitutions. If it were the host's body before transmigrating, you would have died ten times over with that kick just now."

"Hey, what are you thinking about? Did I kick you until you went mad?"

Kiana pinched Juexi's cheek hard. She had to admit it felt good; looking at him more closely, he was way more handsome than her father. She really didn't know how Cecilia's mother had fallen for her father. If it were her, she'd definitely be with him...

Wait, what am I thinking? I already have Mei, that's enough. Kiana suddenly felt embarrassed and pinched Zetsu's other cheek hard with her other hand.

"Hey, hey, it hurts, it hurts! Stop pinching me! I'm not stupid!"

Juexi struggled for a moment. Kiana released her hands, and Juexi calmed down before speaking.

"Hello, Kiana, it's nice to meet you in real life. My name is Mu Juexi."

After saying that, Juexi revealed a smile that she felt was pretty good.

"Huh~"

Looking at the smile of the man named Mu Juexi in front of her, Kiana gave this assessment and continued speaking.

"Hey, how do you know my name is Kiana? You seem to know me quite well. And what do you mean by 'meeting me in real life'?"

"With your intelligence, this might be a bit difficult for you, Chongchong. To put it simply, you can think of me as someone who has traveled through time. That's why I said I was happy to meet you in reality. I don't know if you've ever read those novels where the protagonist travels through time."

"I'm not stupid! Does that time travel stuff really exist? And you still haven't answered me, why do you know me so well?"

"Because I was the captain of the Hyperion before I transmigrated, and I witnessed your arduous journey of growth..."

Chapter 8 I want to drink?

Kiana seemed thoughtful. So it was the captain? If that were the case, it was normal for him to know her story. No wonder he mentioned White Comet after seeing her… I even felt a sense of familiarity with him… wait, what if this man was lying to her?

"Then what is that strange power within you? Why did you come here? How did you get here? What is your purpose?"

Jue Xi explained little by little.

"Why are you throwing out so many questions all at once, Bug? Let me tell you one last thing about my strange power: please believe me, I won't do anything bad. First of all, why am I here? To complete my mission."

"Warning! Do not reveal the system to outsiders!"

"Huh? How am I supposed to explain this clearly?"

Juexi asked the system in her heart.

"I don't care. If you reveal the system, you can forget about getting any rewards anymore."

Kiana listened to Mu Juexi's words, and when he suddenly stopped talking halfway through, her face turned dark. This perverted man must be thinking about how to deceive her, right?

Kiana asked with a gloomy face and a forced smile.

"Hey~ Captain! Why aren't you saying anything?"

The originally pleasant voice sounded particularly eerie. Looking at Kiana's murderous expression, Juexi immediately went mad and said...

"Bug, you have to believe me. How could I lie to the ultimate, invincible, super cute bug?"

Kiana's expression softened somewhat, but she still spoke seriously.

"Stop grinning and talk! Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely."

I thought to myself, how can this person be so indecent, saying such things to flirt with me without batting an eye? I can't let you meet Mei.

Jue Xi looked at Kiana again, pondered for a moment, and then spoke in a sentimental tone.

"Alright, alright, I'll continue. I'm from another world. Although time travel itself is complicated, and I don't know how to explain it, anyway, I knew your story a long time ago. Back then, I fell in love with you, this sunny, hot-blooded, silly paramecium. Haha. From the Sky Ranger to the Herrscher of Fire, and finally landing on the moon, defeating Kevin and wielding the power of the end. You did all of that so well, Kiana. I'm so moved and reluctant to let you go, I can't sleep thinking about it. Hehe, little Kiana, little by little, you've grown from that naive little girl who dreamed of becoming an S-class Valkyrie into a Herrscher of the End who bears the fate of humanity and is willing to fight for all the good things in the world. Watching you grow up really feels like watching your own child achieve great things."

"What are you even talking about? You still haven't explained it clearly... What a weirdo..."

Kiana's voice grew softer and softer, while Juexi chuckled wickedly.

"Hehe, it's because I was thinking about Qi Bao. I wonder if she's eating well all alone on the moon. She's baking pizzas every day, which isn't nutritious. I don't usually cook, since the Kaslana family shouldn't be in the kitchen. Qi Bao must be so lonely. I couldn't sleep, and maybe God knew how much I missed you, Qi Bao. I woke up here. Isn't that amazing, little bug? Haha."

"You're talking nonsense again. I don't believe you're a captain who traveled from another world. How could a captain be so frivolous? To wake up from a nap and find yourself in another world... no one would believe that."

Kiana said this in a huff. Actually, she already believed most of it; after all, he had explained things in quite detail, and he had seemed very serious just now—she could tell. As for not believing him, she was just being stubborn.

"Ha~"

Jue Xi smiled, thinking to herself, "Kiana, you're still too young," and spoke up.

"Qibao, let's make a bet. I'll just say one sentence and you'll believe I'm the captain. If I win, you'll grant me one request. If I lose, I'll grant you one request. Are you up for the bet?"

Kiana looked at Juexi's smug expression and thought, "I knew you weren't thinking anything good." But this bet was completely in her favor. Even if she admitted that you were the captain, she could still win by refusing to admit it out of spite.

"Alright, I agree. No going back on your word."

"Okay. It's a deal, and you can't go back on your word."

After saying that, Kiana looked at Juexi with a smug expression, as if to say, "Please begin your performance."

Juexi took a deep breath, raised her voice, and spoke loudly in Kiana's coquettish tone.

"I want to drink Mei's sister (Z)..."

Before Jue Xi could finish speaking, Kiana's face flushed red, and she immediately covered his mouth.

"Shut up! You, you, you!"

Kiana was so angry she didn't know what to say. Of course she knew what was behind those words. This was too embarrassing. How could the captain be so shameless?

At that moment, Juexi seemed like a devil, removing Kiana's hand from his mouth and whispering.

"Hmph, now you believe me, right, Bug? You're a man of your word, and you don't want Mei to find out you lost the bet and didn't admit it, do you?"

Chapter 9 Gun Fighting Technique

Kiana picked up that cat-faced girl again, looking defiant as she spoke.

"Hmph! ╯^╰ I'll accept my loss. I'm not going back on my word. I'm a man of my word. You perverted captain, tell me what you want me to do."

Jue Xi could naturally see that Kiana was not convinced, but he didn't expect Kiana to be convinced. Anyway, the request he wanted to make was not excessive.

"Teach me gunfighting."

"Huh?"

At the same time, two voices appeared in Juexi's ears: one was Kiana's voice, and the other was the system's voice.

The system said.

"You want to learn gun-fu? Such a precious opportunity, I have something even more amazing for you to learn."

Juexi thought to herself.

"That costs points, and as for the system, just play dead and stop complaining."

Kiana felt she was getting a good deal, and since she wouldn't lose anything, she immediately agreed.

"That's settled then, I'll teach you gunfighting."

Kiana noticed that the captain seemed serious and wasn't joking. She hadn't expected him to be so earnest; she had thought his request would be outrageous.

Jue Xi asked.

"So when do we start?"

Kiana looked at Juexi. Although he was a novice, he had good physical fitness and should be fine.

"Now, come with me."

Juexi followed Kiana to an open space outside the base. Kiana stretched her body and asked a question.

"Alright, are you ready?"

Absolutely perplexing.

"Huh? What's ready?"

"Are you ready to get beaten up?"

"what?"

Before Jue Xi could even react, she saw Kiana attack her. A simple, unadorned punch came hurtling towards her; she could see it, but it seemed impossible to dodge… Her body couldn't react in time. Jue Xi struggled to twist her body, and the punch was indeed dodged. But she almost fell because of the loss of balance. Kiana immediately raised her leg and kicked Jue Xi from above. This time, Jue Xi really couldn't dodge; she was once again trampled under Kiana's foot…

"Hmm~ Not bad. Compared to last time, you were able to last one more move against me. You've improved a lot."

Despair and complaints.

"You're just torturing me, this isn't like teaching anyone at all."

Kiana was talking nonsense with a straight face.

"That's a misconception. That's how my dad taught me when I was a kid. He would beat me so badly I couldn't get up."

Jue Xi was speechless. This really seemed like something that hot-blooded idiot Siegfried would do. Kiana lifted her foot and pulled Jue Xi up.

Kiana grinned mischievously.

"Let's continue, Captain~"

…………

Juexi was carried back by Kiana again, for the second time.

"Chongchong, couldn't you be a little gentler? I seriously suspect you were just retaliating against me on purpose."

"What? I've already been very careful. And don't call me 'bug,' call me Kiana."

"Okay, bug, I understand."

"Captain! Do you feel the training intensity just now wasn't high enough?"

"This level of training might be child's play for you, Herrscher of the End, but it's just right for me."

"I see you can still talk back to me, so you must still have energy left. Get down and walk by yourself."

Kiana threw Juexi on the ground.

"Hey, Bug, can't you teleport me back? You're the Herrscher of the Void, can't you use your spatial abilities?"

"No, we can't use it recklessly. Just treat it as exercise."

Kiana said no, but at that moment she was thinking to herself, why didn't I think of that?

"Could it be that you, Chongchong, have never actually thought about using your powers for transportation?"

Jue Xi seemed to see through Kiana's thoughts.

"Let's hurry up and go back, I'm starving."
