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

The woman hated being called that, but since this idiot woman named Kiana Kaslana was someone close to Juexi, she decided to give her some face (even though Juexi herself would get angry if she called her Rosalina), and besides, she was so cheerful, it was really... hard to hate her...

"Hehe, I think this is more friendly. Calling me 'Lady' sounds too cold. From now on, I'll call you Rosalyn, and you can call me Kiana."

After Kiana finished speaking, she walked straight over and naturally took Rosalind's hand.

"Hmph ╯^╰ What are you doing here?"

The woman immediately pulled her hand away. It was strange; she hadn't refused immediately. She must have been careless. This was the first time in so many years that someone had held her hand. It felt uncomfortable, so strange, yet somehow warm…

"Since you didn't refuse, I'll call you Rosalyn from now on. Hehe, the captain asked me to deliver something to you."

Kiana was thinking to herself, "Tsundere? That's nothing, I've got plenty of experience dealing with that!"

Meanwhile, Xingqiu watched with wide eyes. This 'lady' seemed different from the rumors. Their relationship seemed unusual; how come Kiana was so popular? To him, she looked like a naive and innocent heroine from a novel by Yaedo… He was now in an awkward situation, unsure whether to leave or stay…

Chapter 62 The Arrogant Rosalyn

"what?"

The lady asked with an arrogant expression.

Kiana snapped her fingers, creating a small imaginary space. She reached inside and pulled out a deep red phone with a red butterfly pattern on the back.

Kiana's sudden display of skill stunned both of them. The "Lady" was a little better off, since Juexi possessed even more terrifying power, and Kiana, as her lover, naturally had extraordinary abilities as well. Xingqiu, on the other hand, was utterly shocked, saying, "I've been stunned for a whole year."

What is that? It's not elemental power. I didn't notice it before, but now that I look closely, Kiana has a red Eye of God tucked into her waistband. She doesn't need me to protect her at all...

"what is this?"

Rosalyn was puzzled.

"Hehe, if you call me something nice, I'll tell you."

Rosalyn looked at Kiana coldly when she heard her words.

"Hehe, don't be so fierce, I was just kidding. Let me tell you, this is called a cell phone."

""cell phone"?"

"That's right, I'll teach you..."

Xingqiu naturally learned how to use the "cell phone" as well. The more he listened, the more astonished he became. He couldn't help but marvel at how this "Sword Master" could actually create such a thing. He was truly ingenious. It was a pity he was a member of the Fools. He didn't want to imagine what would happen if this continued...

"You gave this to me?"

"Of course, you can see the patterns and colors on the back were specially prepared for you. Do you like them?"

"It's alright, I'll take it. Thank you..."

"Huh? What?"

Kiana said she didn't hear clearly.

"Kiana, don't go too far."

"Hehe, Rosalyn, the captain's gone and I have nowhere to go. Can I sleep with you tonight?"

Kiana spoke pitifully, and then reached out her little hand to pull Rosalyn's arm.

"Okay, huh? No way!"

What did I just say? I actually agreed! What's wrong with me today? The lady felt she was acting strangely; it must be because of the argument she had with the young master earlier.

"You just agreed, so I knew you were the best to me, Rosalyn~"

Kiana hugged the "lady" without waiting for her consent.

"Hey! Let go!"

"No, I won't! If you don't agree, I won't have anywhere to sleep tonight!"

Xingqiu stood to the side... Sigh, is nobody going to care about me? Oh well, I'll just watch the show.

Kiana, I'm saying it one last time, let go!

"No. Rosalyn, I won't let go unless you agree."

"Sigh... Okay, let's sleep together, let go, Kiana."

The lady reluctantly agreed, while Kiana, having received the consent, looked as if her scheme had succeeded.

"Rosalyn, you're the best."

"Ugh."

Life is tough, the "lady" sighed. Without realizing it, the "lady" had tacitly accepted Kiana's way of addressing her...

Why couldn't I bring myself to be harsher on Kiana? It must be because I'm afraid of her man, that's for sure. Could it be because she reminds me of my younger self? No way! I've forgotten what I used to be like; all I remember is the 'Burning Witch'...

"Rosalyn, I'll come see you again tonight. I'm going out with this friend now. Want to come along?"

"Lady," she said sarcastically, "finally found an opportunity to attack Kiana."

"Your friend? This second young master of the Flying Cloud Merchant Guild, as your friend, didn't even provide you with accommodation~ Kiana, you didn't sincerely invite me to go out with you either."

Xingqiu, who was watching the drama unfold, was completely bewildered. "Huh? You guys were having a perfectly good chat, how did you suddenly bring me up? Kiana didn't mention that she had nowhere to stay..."

Kiana, as if she didn't understand Rosalyn's words, replied with a smile.

"Is Rosalyn jealous because I'm going out with Xingqiu? It's not like I can't be alone with you~"

"Huh? Kiana, can't you understand me? Me? Jealous? Jealous of you? No way."

"Hehe, Rosalyn can contact me by phone if she misses me, but Xingqiu can't."

"I won't miss you at all."

The lady regretted her words as soon as they left her mouth. Something felt off about what she had said; it sounded so coquettish... What was going on?!

Kiana saw that Rosalyn had fallen for her trap and knew when to stop.

"I'm off now, see you tonight, Rosalyn~"

After saying that, Kiana let go of Rosalin's hand without turning her head, turned around, grabbed Xingqiu's arm, and ran out of the Northern Bank.

"Hey! Kiana!"

Rosalind could only stand there, raging helplessly, wondering what had happened today.

Meanwhile, the "young master" who was secretly watching from the side was in a great mood. It was rare to see this arrogant "lady" helpless against others. If he remembered correctly, this girl named Kiana was Mu Juexi's lover. She seemed carefree, but she was not simple at all.

"Kiana... don't run... we've run too far..."

Xingqiu spoke breathlessly.

"Oh, I see. The second young master's health isn't very good. When I grabbed your arm just now, you seemed so delicate, like a girl."

Kiana said nonchalantly, feeling that they were already familiar with each other.

"Ahem, please don't joke with me, Kiana. Speaking of which, Kiana's personality is really like a man's, so carefree."

"Hehe, it's alright. Also, sorry, Xingqiu."

"Hmm? Why is Miss Kiana apologizing all of a sudden?"

"Rosalyn, um, don't take what 'Lady' said to heart. She's all bark and no bite. I didn't know the Fools and your Flying Cloud Merchant Guild were at odds, and I'm so sorry for bringing you here."

"No, it's alright. The Flying Cloud Merchant Guild and the Fatui aren't as irreconcilable as you think. It's just that we don't like the actions of some people in the Fatui. I didn't expect Kiana to have such a thoughtful side."

"Hey, Xingqiu~ that doesn't sound like a compliment. How could I not be thoughtful?"

Kiana raised her fist to scare Xingqiu.

"Haha, I misspoke, don't take it to heart, don't take it to heart. Where would you like to go, Miss Kiana?"

"Hey, what are you playing around with? I was worried you'd feel uncomfortable there, and I'd already delivered my things, so I was just looking for an excuse to leave. If Xingqiu wants to show me around Liyue, how about taking me out for a meal? Hehe, just so you know, I didn't bring any Mora. Usually, the Captain handles Mora, and I don't know what he was thinking by not giving me any pocket money this time." (Captain's innocent! He meant for you to go to the Northern Bank and find the 'Lady,' and once you found her, the 'Lady' would naturally reimburse your expenses...)

"Haha, good, Miss Kiana, Mora is a small problem."

Xingqiu, who is usually obsessed with martial arts novels, really enjoys the feeling of chivalry and revenge. Being with Kiana makes him feel relaxed without having to think too much. (Perhaps Kiana has a buff that makes those around her stupid...)

“Let me take you to ‘Wanmin Hall’. The food there is one of Liyue’s specialties. I have a friend who is the head chef there, and her cooking skills are exceptional.”

Chapter 63 Xiangling

Xingqiu led Kiana to the "Wanmin Hall" and introduced it as they walked.

"As the saying goes, food is the first necessity of the people. Kiana, our Liyue is divided into two major traditional cuisines: Liyue cuisine and Moon cuisine, each occupying half of the culinary world. The restaurants representing these two cuisines are 'Liulite Pavilion' and 'New Moon Pavilion', respectively. But today I want to take you to try 'Wanmin Hall'. Although it's a small restaurant, the fact that it has been able to operate for so long under the control of these two behemoths that monopolize the market, and is still thriving, speaks volumes..."

"Alright, alright, Xingqiu, stop talking. My mouth is watering."

Kiana got even hungrier after Xingqiu talked to her, so she interrupted him, thinking to herself that he talked much more than Seele.

"Haha, don't worry, Kiana, we've arrived."

Xingqiu pointed ahead and strode forward.

"Master Mao, is Xiangling here?"

Kiana and Xingqiu arrived in the afternoon, not during mealtime, so there weren't many customers in the restaurant.

"Xiangling, she's playing with Master Hu right now. That child has been busy all afternoon, and Master Hu came to bother her as soon as she had a break. She hasn't eaten yet. Is this your friend?"

"This is Kiana Kaslana, just call her Kiana, Master Mao."

Master Mao quickly glanced at the girl beside Xingqiu. He felt like she had been here before, but there were too many customers and he couldn't remember. Oh well, he decided not to think about it anymore. He continued talking.

"Oh, you've come at the right time. You haven't had lunch yet, have you? Have lunch with Xiangling, and we'll forget about the bill."

"That won't do. One thing at a time."

Xingqiu immediately refused.

"Hey, you... this lady next to you is a traveler, right? A new face I've never seen before. How about this, this meal is on me again, and next time this Kiana lady brings a friend to support me, we can charge normally then. It's a good deal for everyone, how about that?"

"This……"

Xingqiu was in a bit of a dilemma. It wasn't right to accept a free meal, but Master Mao's actions had certainly boosted his reputation and fame. He just wondered if that "Sword Master" was a good person like Kiana...

"Okay, thank you, Master Mao."

Kiana didn't think too much about it and readily agreed. She would bring the captain next time and make sure Master Mao made a profit—consider it punishment for the captain not giving her any pocket money this time in Mondstadt.

"Young Master Xingqiu, look how straightforward this Kiana is, come on in."

"Hehe, hurry up, Xingqiu, I'm starving."

Kiana pulled Xingqiu inside. Just then, Kiana's phone rang... but there seemed to be an echo?
