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

"I feel like you've said this conversation to Kiana before, host."

"Hey, believe me, would the host lie to the system?"

"Ok."

Juexi obtained the system-branded Small Sparrow Food... suitable for a wide variety of small animals.

Juexi patted Qiqi's little head, and she realized what was happening.

"Qiqi, look, your brother has some special bird food for the little magpie..."

Juexi suddenly took out a packet of something that looked like small cookies.

Kiana complained.

"Captain, how come you have all sorts of strange and unusual things?"

"Qibao, don't worry about so many details. I'm omnipotent. This captain can do anything."

"Um, Captain, I advise you not to say that."

"It doesn't matter, in Teyvat, the two of us are everything."

Juexi opened the bird feed while blowing on it... and handed it to Qiqi, who then fed the little finches as she wished.

"Little sparrow, eat slowly. There's more here, Qiqi."

After eating the system-branded bird food, even the little magpie's intelligence increased by leaps and bounds. It actually nodded after hearing Qiqi's words.

"Damn, system, this bird food is pretty amazing."

"Well, you see, I already said it's a high-quality product."

Kiana also noticed that something was wrong, but she didn't pay attention and asked.

"Little Sparrow, do you have a home? If not, would you like to come home with us? My little Qiqi likes you very much. If you want to come home with us, just nod."

The little sparrow nodded after hearing this, and Qiqi also showed a happy expression. So the little sparrow landed on Qiqi's head, and the three of them and the bird went home. It was so nice, but it seemed like they had forgotten something.

……

"Why hasn't Juexi come back yet, Morax? You're so boring. Listening to a storyteller bragging about himself every day is really dull. If you ask me, you'd rather listen to me, the best bard in the world, tell you stories."

"In terms of general rationality, you know, I know, Wendy."

Zhongli took a sip of tea and spoke casually. He was leading Wendy to listen to Tian Tiezui tell stories. As for why Wendy dared to call Morax directly, it was because the two gods naturally had their own ways of talking behind the backs of mortals, which can be referred to as internal voice communication.

"Ha~ I'm so bored, Morax. What's so great about that tea? I want to drink some alcohol."

Zhongli smiled faintly.

"Hehe, it's just self-cultivation."

"You're so boring, Morax. You're not attractive to girls at all."

"Oh? Indeed, but rationally speaking, Wendy, you consider yourself very popular with girls, so why didn't you gain Juexi's favor after you transformed into a woman?"

"Ugh~ That's too much, Morax, don't be so direct."

"Hehe, Wendy, I advise you to give up. In my opinion, Juexi is a person with clear goals."

"Hmph~ I'm a demon god, do you think I'll outlive Kiana?"

"Don't deceive yourself, Wendy. That day in Dihua Island, when Kiana and I first met and confronted each other, did you think I didn't know you were spying? The power Kiana exuded was no less than mine, and she even intentionally suppressed what I could feel..."

"That's enough... Morax."

"You know that you may have lost your only advantage, so you changed to this kind of body, right?"

Zhong Li looked Wendy over and had to admit that her current body was very feminine.

"Oh, Morax, you're so cruel. Why did you have to say it out loud?"

"If your heart isn't here, you'll naturally find this storytelling boring. Why didn't you mention it at all yesterday? He's back today, you must have sensed it, but Juexi hasn't come to see you yet. If you ask me, would the Wind God be jealous?"

Zhong Li wore an amused expression.

"Morax... I never expected you to be so happy to laugh at me. Is it worn out that badly?"

"Hehe, no, it's just that this kind of interesting thing hasn't been seen for thousands of years."

"Hmph, never mind you anymore, Morax, I'm going to find Juexi."

Meanwhile, Juexi felt something was off, as if she had forgotten something. Kiana, upon arriving home, remembered someone was missing and immediately asked Juexi.

"Captain! Where's Wendy?"

"Yeah, where's Wendy?"

Jue Xi was shocked. Oh right, she had forgotten about Wendy...

Chapter 89 The Upside-Down Seven Gods Statues

Juexi and Kiana went to the Hall of Rebirth to find Wendy. This time, they didn't bring Qiqi; she was at home playing with Xiao Tuanque. On their way to the Hall of Rebirth, they happened to run into Wendy and Zhongli, who were walking back.

Jue Xi then explained to Wendy why she had come to see Him so late. Wendy listened to Jue Xi's explanation and heard what had happened recently. She was actually quite happy, but she pretended to be angry and complained.

"So... that's your excuse for forgetting to look for me?"

Hearing Wendy's complaining tone, both Juexi and Kiana lowered their heads, and Juexi replied shyly.

"That's right, that's right, I'm sorry, I got so busy I forgot about you, Wendy..."

Kiana was speechless upon hearing the captain's words. Captain, do you really not know how to charm a girl?

"Juexi...do you think you're good at sweet-talking people?"

Jue Xi was completely dumbfounded.

"Ah? What's wrong?"

Kiana, on the other hand, ignored everything and went straight up to Wendy and grabbed his arm.

"Wendy~ We were wrong~ Don't be angry~ Okay?"

First, Qi Bao is inherently cute; second, Wendy wasn't really angry, and she pretended to forgive him.

"Alright~ This is the last time. Mr. Zhongli, I'll take my leave then."

After saying goodbye, Wendy happily followed Juexi and the others home, while Zhongli just sighed.

Meanwhile, Juexi, Kiana, and Wendy unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance on their way home.

The three of them unexpectedly encountered the Traveler and Paimon while passing by the Adventurers' Guild.

"What a coincidence, Yingmei."

Juexi greeted her warmly, and Yingmei extended an invitation.

"Juexi, Kiana, would you like to come with me and Paimon to the ruins to find the treasure-hunting group?"

Jue Xi pondered for a moment. At this time, she should go to the ruins to find the treasure-hunting group. The traveler was probably going to see his brother, and she should join in the fun, so she agreed.

Yingmei and the others arrived at the ruins location on the map, but of course, Wendy wasn't brought along this time.

Juexi used another strange excuse to send Wendy away, jokingly saying that she absolutely couldn't let Wendy know that his Statues of the Seven had been stolen and were hanging upside down by the Abyss Order... Even though he was usually so unserious! But she was still afraid that he would be angry if he found out that his Statues of the Seven could be stolen. So it was better to send Wendy away...

Jue Xi and the others also arrived at this ruin, but there was no treasure that the treasure-hunting group wanted, only a ground full of dead people and countless traps.

Ying also thought to herself that it was good that she had found Juexi and Qiyana. She was really lucky. Otherwise, she would have had to spend a lot of time solving puzzles and deciphering obstacles along the way.

When the group reached the end, they found only the corpse of the treasure-hunting gang kneeling before an unsettling upside-down statue of the Seven Gods.

Paimon asked fearfully.

"Ah, that's..."

Yingmei continued.

"A bizarre sight never seen before."

Jue Xi's words revealed the truth.

"Isn't this just an upside-down statue of the Seven Gods holding a strange bead? There's nothing to be surprised about."

Paimon spoke nervously.

"This is nothing to be surprised about! Besides, I remember... the statue should be holding a precious jewel, right? Now... what is the statue holding? Ugh, this oppressive feeling is very ominous..."

Paimon also stepped forward to question the member of the treasure-hunting group who was kneeling on the ground.

"are you OK?"

Paimon asked him several more times around him, but there was no response. He only realized what was happening when he got closer.

"This person is dead... Traveler, Juexi, I have a bad feeling, let's leave quickly. Let's get out of here and tell Ganyu and Sister Lan what happened."

Paimon must have been overheard by someone. Nothing happened before he said it, but right after he finished speaking, an earthquake suddenly occurred.

Jue Xi sighed and rubbed her forehead.

"I must say, as expected of you, Paimon..."

As they ran, they came to a small room and met the 'Abyss Apostle' who had been waiting inside for a long time.

"The mysteries of the Abyss are not to be fathomed. You have come here, you have looked directly into it. Therefore, you should bear the price commensurate with it. The punishment will be brought down by the Apostles."

Jue Xi was too lazy to interrupt his spellcasting; since he was about to die anyway, she figured she might as well take it as his last words.

Paimon asked, puzzled.

"The Abyss...Apostle?"

Yingmei also answered.

"It was something Dain mentioned..."

The Abyss Apostle naturally heard Paimon's words and said...

"Dains Reeb? I see. I thought you were just rats who had wandered in by mistake, but it turns out you're also connected to that persistent person... The stench emanating from you is truly nauseating."

"Dain sent you here to your deaths? It seems he's already reached a stalemate with 'Rebellion Against the Abyss.' He won't let such a trivial disturbance create any new variables..."

At this moment, Juexi stepped forward. "You're so annoying! You're so slow and indecisive. You were the most annoying person when we played the game, weren't you? Today I'll show you why the flowers are so red."

Chapter 90 We Will Meet Again

"Hey, that's enough. Who are you calling a rat? Who are you calling insignificant? Why are you introducing yourself, you Abyss Apostle? Let's start fighting already. I'll let you say your last words."
