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

"The immortals have already discussed it, and the answer is... not necessarily."

At this moment, Juexi dared to speak calmly.

"It doesn't matter, I will take action."

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun then looked at Jue Xi.

"It was you, that mortal at the Wangshu Inn that day. You uttered such arrogant words..."

"Oh? What if I could help Liyue overcome this difficulty?"

"Ha, a mere mortal dares to utter such arrogant words. If you could..."

Just as Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun was about to speak, he was stopped by Xiao beside him.

"Liu Yun..."

Lord Liuyun Jiefeng was puzzled but did not continue speaking.

"Xiao, why are you stopping her? I'm just a mortal and can't help her. I'll just watch the show."

Chapter 78 Liu Yun's Bet

Upon hearing this, True Lord Liuyun also snorted coldly.

"Hmph, just a heartless and ungrateful person."

Jue Xi didn't take it seriously, but Kiana, who was next to her, was unhappy and clenched her little fist angrily.

"Hey, you crane! Say that again! Who are you calling a heartless person? My captain is definitely not a heartless person!"

Liu Yun said in surprise

"That crane?! How dare you! I am the dignified True Lord Liuyun Borrowing Wind! You little brat, you're pretty, how can you be so rude!"

Gan Yu then offered a reminder from the side.

"True Lord...a formidable enemy is at hand."

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun was just joking.

"It's alright, with this young friend here, it doesn't matter, he will take care of it."

Jue Xi knew that the two pieces of bird meat meant no harm; they were just some sharp-tongued, lonely old men from Jue Yun Jian. She replied.

"Liu Yun, if I can really solve this problem with Oser, how about you grant me a request?"

"Hmph, let alone one, even three..."

Just as Liu Yun was about to speak, Xiao beside him gestured for him to stop...

"Good, as expected of an immortal, such magnanimity, I admire you. Three it is then. The contract has been made, and those who break their word shall be punished by the Devouring Rock."

"Hmph, what if you, a mere mortal, can't do it?"

"If I cannot do it, then I will leave it to the immortal to do as he sees fit."

"Hmph, what use is a mortal like you to me?"

Upon hearing this, Jue Xi ignored the others and turned to ask Qi Bao beside her.

"Qibao, want to give it a try?"

"No, I'm scared..."

Before Kiana could finish speaking, Juexi naturally knew that Kiana was afraid she might not be able to control her strength and cause something bad. The surrounding immortals, looking at the Divine Eyes on Kiana and Juexi's waists, all thought the two were just an ordinary couple with powerful Divine Eyes. Only Ningguang and Xiao knew that the two were not simple.

"Okay, I'll go first then. Qi Bao, cheer me on!"

Kiana pinched Juexi's arm, and although she knew he was definitely safe, she couldn't help but show concern and say a few words.

"Stop being so vain, you idiot captain, come back here right now."

"understood."

After saying this, Jue Xi immediately soared into the air, holding his "Chang Gui Sword" (Sword of Domination), pointing the sword at Oser.

This sudden turn of events stunned all the immortals. This mortal... had he suddenly ascended to heaven? How come they hadn't even noticed the fluctuations in elemental power? Even Ningguang, who had prepared herself mentally, was shocked at this moment, while only Xiao remained unfazed.

"Kiana Kiana~ Is Juexi really the 'Sword God'?"

Paimon shook Kiana's arm and asked.

Kiana was speechless.

"No, the captain is talking nonsense. He's not some kind of sword god, he's just bragging."

Kiana recalled her first meeting with Juexi. That idiot captain actually thought of sneaking up on the Herrscher of the End... He was so stupid! Luckily, she held back a bit, and he could take a beating. Otherwise, if she had kicked him to death back then, she would still be all alone on the moon. Thinking about it, she suddenly remembered how Juexi bullied her at night, and she couldn't help but blush... Damn it, she should have kicked him to death back then!

Why are you blushing?

The simple-minded Meng was straightforward and asked directly.

Kiana was even more embarrassed now. She couldn't very well say that she was thinking about bad things. Just as Kiana was wondering what to say, Ying suddenly spoke up.

"Look, Osel has moved."

Looking at the "mortal" who dared to point his sword at him, Oser in the sea recalled bad memories. The last person to treat him like that was Morax.

"Roar!!!"

Aosael roared angrily at Juexi, accompanied by a powerful pressure. Although Juexi herself didn't feel it, the immortals below, including Liuyun, couldn't sit still. They kept saying, "Mortal, mortal, but in a critical moment, we still have to save him!"

Despite her stubbornness, Liu Yun was soft-hearted and wouldn't stand idly by and watch someone die in front of her.

“This guy is really courting death. Seven Stars, quickly activate the ‘Return to the End’ mechanism that you researched a few days ago. He has a bet with me and can’t die here.”

Liu Yun naturally knew that "Seven Stars" had been researching her "Return to the End Mechanism" all along, but she just pretended not to know. After researching it for so long, it should come in handy soon.

Ningguang also made a series of incomprehensible hand gestures with her hands, summoning a large array, and three huge Returning Machines appeared above the Jade Pavilion.

But Oser couldn't wait any longer, so he directly condensed his divine power. The immense energy seemed to blast a hole in the sky, and a huge energy ball condensed in his mouth.

Juexi is still watching the show...

Paimon frantically shook Kiana's arm.

"Kiana, Kiana, why isn't he moving?"

Kiana then spoke.

"The captain probably already knows, I didn't expect you to care about Paimon quite a bit."

She (Kiana) was thinking to herself.

What's the big deal? This is just scary to look at. If it were me, I wouldn't even need the End of the World. One Flame, one sword, and I'd wipe them all out.

Paimon thought for a moment and replied.

"He's a friend of everyone, after all, and he often treats me and travelers to meals."

Kiana also found Paimon quite amusing. No wonder her captain usually bullied her, so she jokingly said that she wanted to tease her too.

"Isn't Paimon afraid that we'll turn on you and the Traveler after we join the Fools?"

"Huh? You and Juexi are such good friends? No way, the Traveler and I can't beat you guys."

The traveler stood by, his face dark, saying nothing, thinking to himself, "Even if you really can't win, you shouldn't say it out loud..."

Suddenly, a large group of Fools appeared at the Jade Pavilion, and everyone in the Jade Pavilion (except Kiana, who was just watching) began to fight against the Fools.

Paimon asked a question.

"Kiana, why are you just watching?"

"Uh, the captain said I can't fight the Fatui..."

These words didn't sound good to Seven Stars. Ningguang had previously heard that Juexi and Kiana were inclined to join the Fatui, but she had always thought it was a false rumor deliberately spread by the Fatui to sabotage their cooperation. Now that Kiana had said it, it seemed that it was probably true. Ningguang also had her own thoughts: Mu Juexi... it would be best if he died in this war, so that he would be made into a hero of Liyue... otherwise, he would most likely become a variable that would disrupt the balance between Seven Stars and the Fatui diplomats.

At this moment, Oser finally gathered all her energy. The original plan—to shoot into the sky as a meteor and shatter the magic circle—didn't happen. Now, she only wanted to unleash all her energy on the man before her. This man's eyes were filled with disdain. Did he think he was stronger than Morax? Utterly arrogant. Morax could only barely seal me. And what right did you have?! (Clearly, Oser was affected by Kiana's brain-draining aura, hehe~)

Jue Xi yawned in the sky, looking at Ausel and thinking, "No wonder you can't beat Zhongli. You've been holding back for so long. I'm just bored and want to test my full swordsmanship. Otherwise, I would have killed you, you stupid demon god, long ago."

"Hey, can you understand human speech? Hurry up, I'm getting impatient."

Osel was able to speak human language.

"Mortal, you will pay the price for your arrogance."

After saying that, he immediately launched a full-force attack at Juexi.

"Well done."

"Tai Xu Sword Technique - Divine Charm" (Jue Xi's sword technique, not Fu Hua's sword technique, is a reward given by the system. Why is it called this? Because I... no, because Jue Xi couldn't think of any other name.)

A pure white sword aura struck towards Oser, an attack that seemed to possess both the power to devour heaven and earth and utterly powerless. To Kiana and the other immortals, this sword strike contained no elemental force (Honkai energy), yet it was terrifying to behold and utterly impossible to withstand.

It was too late for Oser to escape. He sensed boundless killing intent in this sword strike, which instantly shattered his full-force attack as it hurtled towards him...

With a deafening boom, Oser ceased moving, his entire body transforming into white specks of light that slowly vanished into thin air, leaving no trace. Thus, an ancient demon god perished, leaving no trace behind.

When the sword energy shattered Oser's full-force attack, the dissipated power still destroyed Ningguang's array and the three Returning Machines. However, this time, it wasn't Xiao's turn to save Yingmei who had fallen. Kiana reacted quickly, flying down to pick up Yingmei and flying back to the Jade Pavilion.

Kiana smiled at Yingmei, who was being carried in her arms like a princess.

"Be careful, Yingmei."

Ying blushed and stammered softly in reply.

"Um...um...I'm okay now, thank you..."

Kiana looked at the adorable Yingmei in her arms

"Why is Yingmei blushing? It's so cute. Is she embarrassed?"

At this moment, Yingmei's CPU was already fried. She thought, "How embarrassing! Kiana, why didn't you just say it directly? Couldn't you have beaten me up? There are so many immortals here, and Qixing is watching! Oh dear~ what are you doing~"

Having experienced this battle, Juexi had a good understanding of her own strength. Indeed, she was very strong. So she returned to the Jade Pavilion and witnessed this scene.

Juexi also went over and hugged her Qibao from behind, whispering in her ear.

"Oh~ why are you the one hugging Yingmei, Qibao?"

Kiana blushed when she felt the captain breathing into her ear and immediately put Yingmei down.

"I... I saw Yingmei fall, so I caught her."

Paimon seemed to be deep in thought.
