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

"Will this work for Qiqi?"

"Of course, immortals can't bring the dead back to life. They can only keep the dead alive with their magic before they die, turning them into zombies. You can give them a handful of ashes and let them turn this into a zombie. Do you think that's possible?"

"System, what you said makes a lot of sense."

"Right, for example, Himeko, you couldn't save her."

"You don't have to say that last sentence... I haven't even settled the score with you for trying to cheat me out of points yet."

"Hey~"

While walking and chatting with the system, you arrived at Bubulu...

"Welcome to... 'Bu Bu Lu', I am Qi Qi."

Hearing this, Juexi beamed with joy. "My poor little darling, I must quickly take you away from that bad guy, Bai Shu."

"Qiqi~ Would you like some coconut milk?"

"Coconut milk! I want some!"

Qiqi had no idea why you knew she wanted coconut milk as soon as you came up, but she still subconsciously answered that she wanted to drink it.

Why does Qiqi want to drink coconut milk?

"Qiqi is a zombie, she has no sense of taste, the coconut milk is cool...it tastes good."

"Qiqi, your brother can help you turn back into a normal person, but you will lose your eternal life. Although I don't know if the life of a zombie can be described as eternal life, Qiqi, I can let you be a normal person again and live a second life. Do you want to?"

"Seven Seven..."

"Thank you for your kindness, sir, but I won't trouble you to take care of my Qiqi."

Bai Zhu naturally overheard your conversation and couldn't sit still any longer, so he came out. He was joking; how could his plans be disrupted by a stranger...

Chapter 69 Am I a zombie or...?

Jue Xi said in an annoyed tone.

"Bai Zhu, right? Don't worry about how I met you. Anyway, I'm very grateful to you for taking care of Qi Qi before. But shouldn't we listen to Qi Qi's opinion? What if she's willing to come with me?"

"Sir, I don't know why you harbor such malice towards me. However, Qiqi was originally human. Years ago, she accidentally stumbled into the war between immortals and demons and was severely injured. She was later healed by the kindness of the immortals. After her recovery, Qiqi's body was forever frozen in this moment, unable to age. However, she couldn't control the power within her, causing her to go out of control. The immortals had no choice but to seal her away. Eventually, many years later, the seal dissipated, and I, Bai, encountered Qiqi on my way to gather herbs in the mountains and took her in. That's how Qiqi was able to live in Liyue in this form. For mortals to seek 'immortality' is defying the heavens, and the immortals were powerless to help her, so they had to resort to this drastic measure. Qiqi has lived through these hundreds of years; what ability do you have to restore Qiqi to a normal human state? Moreover, once she recovers, won't her body go out of control again? Please allow me to refuse on Qiqi's behalf."

Jue Xi responded.

"This is hilarious! You actually know that 'immortality' is defying the heavens? So, how could you, Bai Shu, a sickly and weakling, dare to sign a contract with the snake around your neck and have the idea of ​​wanting immortality? Trying to obtain 'immortality'? Besides, what are you talking about with me, this talk of immortals? Qi Qi's fate back then was due to the inadequacy of the person involved. I can do anything. As long as she has a breath left, I can bring her back to life, turn Qi Qi back into a human, able to run and jump, with joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. You've never given Qi Qi the choice, yet you want to decide for her. Bai Shu... do you still dare to say that you adopted Qi Qi without any ulterior motives? Don't you know that if I beat you to death, grind your bones to powder, and sever all your tendons, can that snake still heal you? Or turn you into a 'zombie' to prolong your life?"

After saying that, Jue Xi raised her hand and summoned her "Sword of Domination," pointing it at Bai Shu...

Kiana didn't know what had happened, but after hearing Juexi's words, she also felt that Baishu wasn't a good person. After all, the decision of whether or not to turn back into a human was Qiqi's, so why should Baishu make the decision for her? Baishu was really annoying; she was just indulging in the captain's dislike because of him. Meanwhile, Wendy, enjoying the spectacle, thought, "Wow, Juexi actually knows how to use a sword! This sword looks really powerful."

Bai Shu naturally sensed something was wrong with the sword; it was filled with a strange aura…

“It seems Mr. Juexi is indeed very powerful, but for Qiqi’s safety, I can’t entrust her to you…”

Just as the two were arguing, the Traveler and Zhongli arrived, and Zhongli immediately stopped them.

"Mr. Juexi, please don't be angry. Could you tell me about the conflict between the two of you?"

……

At this moment, 'Bubulu' was quite lively. Inside, Juexi and others were on the verge of a fight with Baishu, Zhongli and Yingmei were mediating the conflict, and outside, 'Young Master' was eavesdropping... even thinking that a fight would break out so he could get information about Juexi's strength. After all, the information 'Lady' gave him last time indicated that Juexi couldn't use a sword... (Normally, it would be Young Master's subordinates eavesdropping here, but why do we say that Young Master himself came to eavesdrop? Because Yingmei and Kiana had a phone conversation earlier, and the fact that Juexi would be coming later was mentioned by the big-mouthed Paimon as he walked by. So Young Master came to see what Juexi was up to.)

After telling Zhongli and the others about this, Juexi then spoke to Baishu.

“I’ve said everything I needed to say, Bai Zhu. You should give the ‘Fragrance of Immortality’ to the Traveler and Mr. Zhongli first, so that I don’t tear your shop down if we start fighting later.”

"Is Mr. Juexi going to rob us outright now?"

Jue Xi sheathed his sword and raised his hand; Mora appeared out of thin air like a spring and fell from his hand...

The visual effects are top-notch.

Looking at the Mora scattered all over the ground, Paimon couldn't help but wonder, "Is this paradise? No, this place has suddenly transformed from a pharmacy into a bank..."

"Three million, not a penny less."

"What?! Three million?! Preservative incense is so expensive!"

Wendy blurted out, "That's enough for me to drink so much!" Kiana, on the other hand, felt sorry for her spendthrift captain and said she'd definitely have to give him a good talking-to when they got home.

Zhongli suggested this after the transaction.

"Why doesn't Mr. Baishu let Mr. Juexi try first? If Mr. Juexi can't cure Qiqi and turn her back into a human, then we can just consider it as him being unreasonable and make him compensate for the losses. If Mr. Juexi can do it, then Qiqi can decide for herself whether to stay or leave. What do you two think of my opinion?"

"I agree with Mr. Zhongli's suggestion, but I'm worried that even if Qiqi recovers, what if the power within her goes out of control again? Also, if Mr. Juexi can solve the problem of losing control, how should it be resolved? Will this power be taken over by Juexi?"

"Bai Zhu, Bai Zhu, you're the one with ulterior motives, aren't you? I'm too lazy to talk to you anymore."

While the group was "discussing," Qi Qi came to Jue Xi's side, tugged at his hand, and gave Jue Xi her opinion.

"Qiqi, I want to become human again. I believe in Brother Juexi. Qiqi isn't stupid. Some people want to use me, some people are afraid of me, but you are different from them. Qiqi, I feel like I know you..."

"Mr. Juexi".

Everyone was speechless when they heard Qi Qi's words to Jue Xi. How could this little girl seem to like Jue Xi so much? At this moment, Bai Shu broke the silence first.

"Since Qiqi trusts you so much, I won't say much more. I just hope that Mr. Juexi won't disappoint her."

You can rest assured about that.

After arguing with Bai Shu, Jue Xi whispered to Qi Qi beside her.

"Relax, it'll be over soon, Qiqi."

Jue Xi placed her hand on Qi Qi's head and patted it gently, then closed her eyes and activated her talent... A vast amount of power filled the entire room. After a while, the power in the room gradually dissipated.

Qiqi asked in confusion.

"Qiqi has turned back into a human?"

Juexi didn't answer, but squatted down and rubbed her face. While rubbing, she said, "Qiqi's little face is so soft." Then she tore off the talisman from her head... Qiqi also rubbed her own face.

"So soft..."

After saying that, she hugged Juexi and burst into tears.

"Waaaaah... Qiqi, I can finally cry..."

"Qiqi, don't cry, don't cry."

Jue Xi picked up Qi Qi and comforted her gently, while subtly signaling to Qi Bao with her eyes. Kiana also moved closer.

"Can I have Kiana hug you, Qiqi?"

Kiana tried to put on a kind smile, but Qiqi glanced at her and cried even harder...

"What, what should we do, Captain?"

Kiana panicked immediately, while Juexi handed Qiqi directly to her and whispered something in a voice only she could hear.

"Qibao, Qiqi's family is all gone. She may have been reminded of her mother when she saw you, which is why she cried even harder. Before, as a zombie, she had no emotions and naturally suppressed them. Now, you must fulfill the responsibilities of a 'mother'."

"Huh? Me? 'Mother'...?"

Kiana muttered to herself, recalling her meeting with Lady Cecilia in a false memory space. Even though it was a false memory, it was still heartwarming. Qiqi must miss her mother very much, Qiqi is so young... Kiana hugged Qiqi and comforted her.

"Little Qiqi~ Cry all you want today, but you're not allowed to cry anymore. You've suffered a lot all this time, haven't you? You've worked so hard... I'll ask your brother Juexi to cook you something delicious later. He's a master chef."

"Wow, Kiana suddenly seems like a mother."

Little Paimon saw this and whispered to Yingmei beside him.

"I don't know, maybe her maternal instincts have awakened?"

Jue Xi asked Bai Shu arrogantly.

"Bai Zhu, do you see that?"

Bai Zhu, however, spoke with unusual humility.

“Mr. Juexi, what a brilliant move. Forgive my poor eyesight, but please treat Qiqi well in the future and don’t let her feel disheartened.”

"Of course, I don't think you have any bad intentions. After all, everyone has their own difficulties. I'm too lazy to ask you. Considering how well you've taken care of Qiqi, I owe you a favor. If you come to me when you're about to die, I'll save your life."

"Haha, thank you so much, Mr. Juexi. How about I give you a discount on the Eternal Fragrance? I'll sell it to you for 2.98 million."

"No need to..."

Wendy, who was standing to the side, immediately spoke up.

"No need for anything, 20,000 is nothing, it's enough to buy a lot of wine. Hehe, Mr. Baizhu is very generous, just give it to me."

……

Chapter 70 Zhongli Invites Guests?

“Mr. Baishu, then I will take Qiqi with me.”

Before leaving, Juexi informed Baishu. After all, she had abducted a child laborer, and Baishu did not intend to stop her. Although she could not stop her, it would not cause the relationship to become too strained.

“Mr. Juexi, I hope you can treat Qiqi well.”

"Don't worry, don't worry, she'll definitely be better off with me than with you. I'll treat Qiqi like family."

Before leaving, Juexi glanced at Paimon as if she had remembered something.

"Oh, right, Paimon, here you go. I don't need to tell you how to use it, do I?"

Juexi took out a white "mini phone" and handed it to Paimon.

"What? It's really for me? Hehe, there really is a share for me."

This was the first time Paimon had ever received a gift, and he found it incredible.

"Of course, I was in a hurry to go to Mondstadt and forgot about Paimon. On the way back, I remembered Paimon and immediately made a mini version for you. The functions are the same."

"Hehe, Juexi, you're so sweet. Traveler, look how much he spoils me."

Yingmei didn't say anything, just looked speechless with an "oh yes, yes yes" expression...

Paimon, who received Juexi's gift, naturally sided with Juexi and complained.

"Speaking of which, the owner of Baizhu is really too greedy, selling it for such a high price."

Yingmei agreed after listening.

"If you ask me, even robbing a 'golden house' wouldn't make you money as fast as this."
