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

"No need. If Miss Eden likes it, why talk about selling it? Talking about money is too hurtful. Just take it. I'll consider it making friends with Miss Eden. What does Miss Eden think?"

Eden couldn't tell the difference between real and fake gold; her only knowledge was of gemstones. She'd learned her lesson the hard way, buying plenty of substandard goods, though she'd bought even more expensive gems. But she didn't dwell on it, simply considering it giving her "common things" to those who needed them more. She'd only noticed the gentleman while eating, seeing his somewhat embarrassed state, and wanted to help him out.

Judging from this man's confident demeanor, he must truly be "golden." I thought to myself, this guy is quite interesting. I noticed him when he first entered the hotel; after all, such a handsome young man with a beautiful female companion is certainly memorable. But the fact that he came out to eat without any money...

Eden asked with a smile.

"Want to be friends? Sure, sir. May I ask your name?"

"My name is Mu Juexi. Miss Eden, you can just call me Juexi."

"Eden said gently."

"Okay, Mr. Juexi. By the way, you came with a female companion, right? Is that convenient for you?"

"Convenient, of course convenient. If Miss Eden is willing, we can eat together over here."

As Jue Xi led Eden to his and Kiana's private room, the hotel manager arrived late and, after hearing the front desk's description, also spoke.

"Xiao Wang, you did a great job. When you collect your salary this month, go to the finance department and ask for my payment. You can collect an extra month's salary. As for the meal expenses for Eden and Jue Xi, just say the hotel paid for it. You don't need to come in tomorrow. Have a good rest. I'm giving you a break. You just finished your college entrance exams this year, right? It's your first time working during the holidays, and you're already so sensible. You'll definitely make something of yourself in the future. Keep it up and do a good job."

Xiao Wang bent down, nodded, and smiled as he spoke.

"Thank you, manager. Thank you, manager."

......

As soon as Juexi and Eden entered the private room, Kiana looked up at them and let out a burp.

"Hiccup~ Captain, why did you take so long to come back? Wait, didn't you go to the restroom? And who is this?"

Eden looked at the white-haired girl before him. He had only vaguely noticed her before, knowing that Juexi's companion was beautiful. But now, looking closer, he realized that Juexi's companion was truly stunning. Although there was still grease on her lips, she possessed a sunny, unconventional charm with a powerful charisma. If he were to mentor her, she could definitely become a big star one day!

Eden lowered his head slightly and asked with a faint smile.

"Hello, lovely lady, it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Eden. Do you have any ambitions to become a superstar?"

"Superstar?"

Kiana pondered that if she became a celebrity, she would spend less time with her captain. Oh well, it's good that her captain is supporting her; it's what he should do. Heh heh, who told that idiot captain to deceive her feelings? Since he's already lied, he might as well go all the way.

Kiana had her own answer and refused.

"I'm sorry, Sister Eden, I appreciate your kindness, but I'm not interested in that kind of thing. Perhaps..."

Kiana glanced at Juexi.

"Why not spend more time with him?"

Eden felt a little sorry, but she naturally respected the person's choice. Eden smiled with a gossipy air.

"It seems Mr. Juexi is quite lucky with women. Your female companion must be very happy, since even I refused her."

Before Juexi could speak, Kiana interrupted.

"Hehe, it is quite blissful. By the way, Sister Eden, I didn't introduce myself just now. You can just call me Kiana."

Kiana looked at the mature Eden with a touch of envy. Although she was quite pretty herself, what if the captain preferred the mature type? Oh well, she'd made up her mind. If the captain liked that type, she'd just beat him up.

Jue Xi remembered something and took out a Nightstone that she had left over from giving away Immortal in Liyue from the Domination Theater.

"Eden, this is my gift to you when we meet. It's called 'Night Stone.' Although it's not particularly precious, it's one of a kind in the world."

Eden picked up the "Night-Stabilized Stone" and examined it carefully. She was truly knowledgeable about it; she didn't have this kind of stone in her collection and had never seen it before. Eden was overjoyed and said happily.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Juexi. I have a little hobby of collecting 'stones' in my spare time."

“No problem, Eden. That shiny, gold-like thing at the front desk earlier. You can think of it as something I made. I call it ‘Mora.’ Do you like it? I have many more here.”

Eden understood after hearing Juexi's words; it wasn't 'gold' at all. Otherwise, how could Juexi have made it herself? This person was truly interesting. However, Eden wasn't short of money. He happily wrote this.

“Great! That Mora, so shiny, I’m really interested in it too. By the way, I came in a hurry and didn’t prepare any decent gifts. Would you two do me the honor of attending my concert tonight?”

Kiana, in a moment of decisiveness, refused outright.

"I'm sorry, Sister Eden, we made plans with our friends tonight to attend that... something else..."

Kiana (not responding)

Eden said with a smile.

"If nothing unexpected happens, I'll be the only one holding a concert in the entire Changkong City today, Miss Kiana."

Chapter 118 Concert (Part )

Jue Xi was afraid of embarrassing Qi Bao.

"Thank you very much, Miss Eden. Kiana, two friends, and I also like you very much. Is this convenient for you?"

Eden suddenly remembered that he seemed to have asked Juexi the same question earlier, and replied with a smile.

“Of course it’s convenient, my friends. Wait here for me for a few minutes, I’ll go find my agent and be right back.”

After saying goodbye to the two, Eden temporarily left the private room. Kiana also sneakily moved closer and hugged Juexi from behind.

"Captain, you're already attracting attention while you're just in the bathroom? Do you really think I, Kiana, have a good temper?!"

Jue Xi said with a grin.

"Hehe, my Qibao is the most understanding, isn't she?"

"Hmph, do you think I'll forgive you just because you say nice things? You bastard captain."

Jue Xi pulled away from Kiana's hand, turned around to face Qi Bao, and hugged her.

Kiana was inexplicably happy to be hugged by Juexi, wondering what was going on lately. "Why is my heart beating so fast even though nothing's wrong..." Kiana said, blushing.

"Even so, Captain, I will not forgive you easily. I will teach you a lesson."

Juexi loosened her grip slightly, lifting Kiana's face with one hand to look at her.

"What are you doing, Captain?"

Juexi lifted Kiana's face and looked at it for a while, then used her other hand to wipe the grease from Kiana's mouth. Kiana continued speaking.

"Being cute won't work, I'm telling you..."

Before Kiana could finish speaking, Juexi silenced her with a kiss.

......

He looked up in despair.

"Qibao, can I explain now?"

Kiana felt a little uncomfortable, her legs pressed tightly together, her pupils dilated, and she looked at Juexi with deep affection. Before Juexi could speak this time, Kiana stood on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around Juexi's neck, and kissed him.

After a while, the two separated, and Kiana leaned unsteadily against Juexi's chest.

"Qibao..."

Before Juexi could finish speaking, Kiana replied in a soft, sweet voice.

"I'll let it go this time, you idiot. Eden seems like a good person and isn't interested in you, Captain. But please don't flirt around like that next time, okay? I'll get jealous."

Juexi patted Qibao's head. Honestly, how come her Qibao is so cute, obedient, and gentle now? "I love her to death, hehe," Juexi replied.

"Okay~ Don't worry, Qibao, I promised I'd only sleep with you~"

Just as Juexi said this, Eden entered the private room and saw the two of them embracing.

Because the two were embracing, and Eden was behind Juexi, Juexi couldn't see her. Kiana watched helplessly as Eden covered her mouth, giggled, and retreated. Kiana was mortified with embarrassment...

After Eden left, Kiana immediately got out of Juexi's arms, though she felt strangely comfortable.

"Hey, Captain. Eden just came by, he saw and heard everything."

"So what? We're having our love talk in our own private room."

"Oh dear, I'm so embarrassed, let's get out of here."

After Kiana finished speaking, she pulled the captain out of the private room, where Eden was waiting for them at the door. She greeted Juexi and Kiana warmly when they came out.

"Juexi, Kiana, hello there, my friends. Are you having fun?"

Jue Xi said it in a very casual way.

"happy."

Kiana looked a little embarrassed.

Eden took out four tickets and handed them to Juexi.

"Alright~ Here you go, four tickets. You and Kiana are welcome to bring your friends. Due to time constraints, please excuse me for leaving now, my dear friend."

Juexi handed Eden a heavy bag of Mora, saying it was just a small, inexpensive gift and hoped she would accept it. Eden happily accepted it nonetheless.

See you tonight, Eden!

After a warm farewell, Juexi headed to the vicinity of Qianyu Academy, intending to find Kevin with Qibao and tell him that she had taken care of the ticket problem herself.

......

A beautiful pink-haired girl had been waiting in Eden's car for a long time. As soon as Eden sat in the back seat, she pounced on him.

"Eden~ my dear Eden~ I miss you so much~ Have you missed me too?"

Eden's smile deepened, and he let Alicia hug him affectionately.

"Of course I missed you, Ellie. I remember you told me you had some kind of mission in Changkong City this time. How come you had time to come see me?"

Ellie replied with a grin.

"Of course I missed you~ My dear Eden, hehe. You really care about me~ Don't worry. I entrusted that task to two trustworthy little ones, they'll definitely do a great job. So, I came to find you~ My dear Eden~"

Eden wanted to give Ellie some "sparkling little things," but after thinking about it, he said with some regret.

"I'm so sorry, Ellie, this was all in a rush and I didn't prepare a decent gift."

"Hehe, it's okay, Eden. I'm just happy to see you~"

Eden was quite happy to hear what Ellie said. She remembered that Juexi had given her a lot of things earlier. In front of Ellie, Eden took out a bag, then took out a Mora and put it in the bag, then closed the bag and gave it to Ellie.

"Aili~ This was given to me by a friend just now. It might be worth a little money, but I hope you like it."

Ellie naturally noticed that the bag contained what appeared to be gold artifacts and inquired about them.

"My dear Eden~ I love you to death, but is this really okay?"
