"Hey, Juexi, I remember in Mondstadt, it's usually the woman who cooks for the man and then delivers the food. Why are you, a grown man, cooking?"
Jue Xi said this while cooking.
"Wendy, aren't you the free wind goddess? How can you have such a stereotype? Besides, the Kaslana family is best off not entering the kitchen; bad things will happen."
"Huh? I've never heard of the Kaslana family before."
"Uh, that's right, you haven't heard of it. Don't ask me anything. Besides, I'm a good cook, while Qi Bao's cooking is... so-so. Whose cooking do you want?"
Wendy refused without even thinking.
"yours."
Jue Xi said with a slight air of nonchalance.
"Then look."
"but……"
Jue Xi turned around and asked when she heard Wendy's argument fall flat.
"But what?"
Wendy said happily.
"However, I still like to eat even if your cooking isn't very good."
Jue Xi suddenly thought of someone, turned her head back and talked while cooking.
"Tsk, don't let Lei Yingdian hear you say that, or you'll lose your life."
Wendy, however, said somewhat angrily.
"Hey! Mu Juexi, that's not the point, is it? You really don't understand romance. Besides, if you say that, be careful she (referring to Lei Yingdian) strikes you down. I'm too lazy to collect your corpse."
Jue Xi looked disdainful.
"I have General Qi Bao who can slay General Inazuma Raiden."
Wendy asked, a little confused.
"Huh? What do you mean? You're going to Inazuma to fight?"
Jue Xi calmly stated something that most people on Teyvat wouldn't even dare to dream of.
"No, go get the 'Heart of God'."
Wendy crossed her arms. With one eye closed and the other she looked at Juexi, pretending to be angry as she asked.
"No way, my Lord Fatui Enforcer, you're really planning to work for that Empress? Look at me, wouldn't it be better if you worked for me?"
"It's just mutual exploitation. I help her, and she helps me in return. There's no real affection between us."
Wendy seemed to suddenly remember something and asked.
"By the way, I heard you've been getting quite close to Rosalyn lately, Juexi~ Tell me, why?"
"Huh? Who told you that? You're making baseless accusations. I just had a fight with her today."
"Oh? Then why did you argue with Rosalyn during the day? Aren't you colleagues?"
"Ahem, you know Wendy, friction between colleagues is inevitable."
"What friction? I seriously suspect you joined the Fools just for 'Lady'."
Jue Xi asked in return.
"Is it that obvious?"
This infuriated Venti. He had just said it casually, and it actually came true! Who in the family would understand? He, the mighty Wind God, abandoned Mondstadt (though he usually didn't care) to be with you, and you actually ended up with a widow...
Wendy said angrily.
"Shepherd, oh!"
Seeing that Wendy was angry, Juexi turned off the stove, put down the pot, and looked at Wendy to ask her.
"If—and I mean if—I could foresee the future, would you believe me?"
"Do you think I'm a child? Predicting the future?"
Jue Xi ignored him and continued speaking earnestly.
"Suppose I really knew certain things in the future, and 'Lady' Rosalind would die at the hands of General Inazuma Raiden, would you, Wendy, go to save her?"
Seeing how serious Jue Xi was, Wendy thought about it for a moment. She knew she definitely wouldn't do it. Although she felt guilty towards Rosalyn before, she couldn't just go and save Inazuma directly.
Jue Xi continued.
“I have the ability, so I saved her without hesitation. Besides, apart from her sharp tongue, stubbornness, and slightly nasty personality, Rosalin hasn’t done anything else bad. She killed monsters back then, and she’s saved at least 800 to 1000 people. I can’t accept her dying so inexplicably.”
Wendy paused for a moment before continuing.
"So, Juexi, you joined the Fools' Clan just to retrieve the 'Heart of God' for Rosaline so she wouldn't die, is that right?"
Juexi didn't answer, turned around without looking at Wendy again, turned on the stove, and picked up the pot.
"Wendy, go wake up Qibao and tell her to eat, then go back to sleep. Also, tell Qiqi to stop playing with the little sparrow and to eat on time so she can grow up properly. The food will be ready soon."
"Hmph, you only have the ability to bully me."
Wendy complained and left the kitchen.
……
"Mmm~ It smells so good~"
Kiana stretched and walked out of the room.
"Get up, Qi Bao, you're the only one missing. Sit down."
Kiana sat down at the dining table and the group began their dinner, talking as she ate.
"Captain, what were you doing with my phone before I went to sleep?"
"Oh, it's nothing, I just gave you a cute name."
"Really? Let me see."
Juexi returned the phone to Kiana, who glanced at it and then rolled her eyes at her captain.
"Captain! Do I really eat that much? Seriously."
"Haha, isn't it cute?"
"Humph."
……
After dinner, Juexi cleaned up the kitchen. It felt so good, like home. She had made a lot this time, and Qiqi and Wendy ate quite a bit. This was the first time Qiqi had eaten food she had cooked since recovering. Tomorrow they were going to Inazuma, and there would probably be some minor hiccups, but it didn't matter. Rosalyn seemed really angry today. Oh well, whatever.
I'll apologize after the Inazuma trip ends. I haven't even stayed at this Liyue home a few times yet. Venti probably can't go to Inazuma, and what about Qiqi? Baishu isn't a bad person, so maybe I should leave him there for now? We'll see. Right now, the most urgent thing is to find Qibao to comfort me~
Jue Xi thought a lot, and after tidying up the kitchen, she went to Kiana's room... Both her room and hers had large beds, which was convenient.
When Kiana saw Juexi come in, she moved to one side of the bed to make room for Juexi.
Juexi immediately pounced and hugged Qibao.
"Qibao~"
"What's wrong, Captain..."
"is today Okay?"
Kiana thought for a moment and said with a blush.
"Don't ask the captain next time, there's no way to stop you anyway..."
……
……
Chapter 93 Postscript
Jue Xi woke up from Qi Bao's bed, thinking about today's arrangements. She was about to leave Li Yue for a business trip to Inazuma, and she had some things to take care of before leaving.
Kiana sensed that the captain beside her had woken up, and slowly opened her eyes as well.
"Captain, how long have we been asleep before you woke up?"
Jue Xi chuckled.
"Qibao~ You were so loud last night, rest a little longer."
Kiana pretended not to hear and opened her arms, acting coquettishly.
"Hug me, Captain!"
Jue Xi rushed over and hugged Kiana.
"What's wrong, Qibao? You're acting all cute as soon as you wake up."
Kiana mumbled incoherently.
"I like you, Captain~ Hehe."
Juexi looked at the adorable Qibao in front of her and kissed her.
……
In the end, Juexi was kicked off the bed, Kiana said with a blush.
"You idiot captain, you're bullying me again. I'm going to tell Mei later and she'll teach you a lesson."
Juexi, shameless as ever, hugged him again and said.
"You don't need to wait for Mei to deal with me, Qi Bao. If you don't like me, how can I get close to you? I don't even know who said they liked you just now, Captain~"
"Hey, stop talking! If you keep saying that, I won't like it anymore!"
Seeing the shy Kiana, Juexi kissed her again and ran out of the room.
"I'll go make breakfast."
Kiana pulled the blanket over herself, clutching the captain's pillow, lost in thought.
