Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

When Shao Yun returned to the room where he lived in the inn, what he saw was Ying and Paimeng sitting at the dining table.

Both of them looked listless, weakly counting the prize money that belonged to the champion, Ying.

As the door was slowly pushed open and then gently closed, making a slight sound, Ying, who had originally lowered her head, raised her head when she heard the sound.

She looked at Shao Yun lifelessly and said softly in a slightly hoarse voice: "Shao Yun, you're back."

Shao Yun walked forward quickly, his eyes sweeping over the two figures, one big and one small, in front of him, as well as the golden Mora that filled the entire table and emitted dazzling light.

"Wow, can't the golden Mora make you happy?"

Hearing this, Paimon was like a deflated ball. He listlessly threw Mora in his hand back onto the table, then sighed deeply and muttered resentfully.

"Oh, if only these Moras could get their Dong Dong hats back..."

As she spoke, her little face was full of sadness.

Seeing this, Shao Yun reached out and gently stroked Paimeng's little head, and said in a gentle and comforting tone: "Okay, okay, don't be too sad."

"After all, the Order of the Immaculate Conception has promised to take good care of 'Dong Dong Yarmulke', so there's nothing to worry about. And even if we separate now, there will always be a time to meet again in the future."

However, Paimon didn't seem to be much relieved by these words.

She was still lying on the table angrily, her lips pouted, complaining with a feeling of grievance: "Well... I understand the reason, but I really didn't expect that this separation would come so soon!"

Shao Yun saw that Paimeng was still unhappy, and thought, we are doing well here, but Leila may never see her own Yoyobeast again in her life.

Shao Yun quickly changed the subject and comforted him softly, "Okay, don't think about those unhappy things for now! Now that the competition has ended successfully, do you have any specific arrangements or plans for the future?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ying raised his head, put the Mora in his hand on the table, and asked, "Shao Yun, do you have any plans?"

Shao Yun smiled slightly, and naturally sat down on the chair next to Ying, then replied slowly: "Yes, that's true."

"I need to go to Inazuma to take care of an important matter. Do you want to come with me?"

When Ying heard Shao Yun mention that he wanted to go back to Inazuma, he couldn't help but look embarrassed, and said with a little hesitation: "Go back to Inazuma... well..."

Seeing Ying being so hesitant and seemingly in trouble, Shao Yun acted very calm and relaxed.

He waved his hand gently and said comfortingly: "If you are delayed by something, it's okay, I will be back soon; then, we will look for your brother together wholeheartedly and have a chat."

However, Ying quickly shook her head and explained, "No, the main reason is that Beidou invited us to Liyue to celebrate the Lantern Festival two days ago."

"I originally wanted to tell you about this after the game, but I didn't expect that the matter of the mushroom beast partner would come up in the middle of the game, so I ended up delaying it."

When Shao Yun heard that Ying wanted to go to Liyue's Lantern Festival, he thought for a moment and said, "Liyue's Lantern Festival... I don't have a lot of things to deal with in Inazuma, so I should be able to go to Liyue before the Lantern Festival."

"What do you think, Ying? Let's go back to Inazuma together?"

Seeing that Shao Yun said so, Ying also agreed.

"Well, I can go back to Inazuma to visit my friends."

……

The ancient lighthouse area of ​​Ormos Port at night.

After enjoying a sumptuous dinner bought with the prize money from the flower competition, Ying brought Shao Yun here because she had something to discuss with him.

The two sat side by side on a bench.

The evening breeze blows gently, bringing a hint of coolness, making people feel extremely comfortable and cozy.

Looking up, I saw the night sky dotted with stars, like dazzling gems inlaid in the inky black sky.

Under the cover of night, the sea seemed exceptionally quiet and peaceful, with only the occasional sound of waves lapping against the shore coming from afar.

The ships anchored in the harbor were swaying slightly with the rise and fall of the waves.

Shao Yun looked at the boundless night sky above his head, then looked around at the seemingly quiet but actually not so hidden environment.

He couldn't help but joked to Ying beside him: "I say, there is no need for us to save travel expenses so much; and, this place doesn't seem to be a particularly secret place..."

Ying, who was immersed in her own thoughts, was stunned when she heard Shao Yun's nonsensical words.

Although she couldn't fully understand the meaning of Shao Yun's words for a moment, she felt vaguely by intuition that what Shao Yun said might not be something good.

So she quickly responded: "What the hell are you talking about! I have something very important to tell you!"

Shao Yun looked at Ying's tense and serious face and his heart skipped a beat.

He quickly forced a smile and said repeatedly: "Nothing, just a joke."

However, Ying's beautiful eyes revealed a strange look. She stared at Shao Yun beside her and muttered softly.

"Hmm... I always feel like you've been acting a little weird lately."

When Shao Yun heard this, the smile on his face became more and more stiff, but he still forced a smile and explained, "Haha, it's because going out on a date so late at night will inevitably make people have some weird thoughts in their minds."

Ying naturally understood the deep meaning of Shao Yun's words. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch twice in embarrassment, and then she said, "Let's talk about that kind of thing later. Let's talk about the business first."

Upon hearing this, Shao Yun was secretly happy, knowing that there would be something interesting tonight.

So he immediately put away his playful smile, put on a serious look, nodded and said: "Okay, okay, let's start chatting quickly."

At this time, Ying coughed lightly, cleared her throat, and asked first: "Do you still remember the celebration banquet that ended unhappily?"

When Shao Yun heard the words "celebration banquet", he became furious.

"Remember, it was Alhaisen and Senor who apologized to you? Alhaisen told me, but I didn't say that I had never forgiven those two ungrateful bastards!"

"It's fine that you're being rude to me, but if you weren't rude to you and Paimon, I should have opened my third eye for them if we weren't on the same side and I wasn't afraid of scaring Dina Zedai and Nilu."

Seeing Shao Yun getting more and more excited, Ying couldn't help but feel helpless.

"Okay, stop talking about El Haisen and Senor. It's not important at all! What I want to talk about is Nashida."

When Shao Yun, who had no good impression of the Seven Gods and whose favorability towards them was almost as high as that of a rat suffering from the Black Death, heard the name "Nahida", he was like a powder keg that had been lit and instantly exploded.

"Oh? So it's about that little diaper elf! What happened? Did she dream about going to the toilet and accidentally wet the bed?"

Ying couldn't help but frown. Shao Yun's scolding was too harsh.

She raised her elbow slightly and pushed Shao Yun hard.

"What's wrong with you lately? Why have you become so mean?"

Shao Yun noticed that Ying was a little angry. He realized that what he had said and done just now was indeed inappropriate, so he quickly restrained his expression.

"I'm sorry, I just lost control. Don't take it personally, just continue."

Seeing Shao Yun apologize sincerely, Ying's expression eased a little, and then she said concisely: "Nashida told me that I am the fourth adventer of Teyvat."

After hearing this, Shao Yun showed an indifferent expression on his face.

This matter has nothing to do with him. Whether Ying is a royal relative or an ordinary girl, it is enough that he likes her.

He shrugged and responded nonchalantly: "Hey, what's the big deal? You are not a native of Teyvat. This is not a big secret. You told me about it before."

Ying nodded and continued, "That's right, but the point is, what Nashida said about you later really confused me."

When Shao Yun heard that Nashida was talking about him, he immediately became alert and asked, "What is it?"

Ying pursed her lips slightly, then stretched out a hand and gently held Shao Yun's arm, leaned towards him, snuggled on his shoulder, and spoke softly.

"Nashida said that you are neither a native of Teyvat nor an Adventer."

At this point, Ying paused for a moment, looked up at Shao Yun's face, and continued, "But the most important thing is, Nashida said that your name in the World Tree is 'Arthur Morgan'. Is this your real name?"

When Shao Yun heard this, he took a breath and his eyes widened suddenly. He couldn't believe what he had just heard.

The sea breeze also stopped at this moment, and everything around fell into a brief silence.

After a long while, Shao Yun slowly came back to his senses.

He opened his mouth and a dry sound came out of his throat. It was obvious that he wanted to explain something, but the words were stuck in his throat and he had no idea how to start.

Shao Yun raised his head and looked at the vast night sky. Although it was fake, it was indeed very beautiful.

The stars in the night sky seemed to sense Shao Yun's gaze and looked back at him silently.

Shao Yun took a deep breath, and as the cool air flowed into his lungs through his nasal cavity, his originally restless heart gradually calmed down.

"Let me put it this way..." Shao Yun's voice was slightly low, revealing a hint of helplessness.

"In fact, I don't even know what to call myself anymore. My memory has been very confused since that encounter with that damn demon.

“A lot of things have become blurry or have disappeared completely.”

At this point, Shao Yun paused, and then continued: "However, if you must have a name, I still hope you can call me 'Shao Yun'. This is one of the few things I can be sure of."

Ying, who was standing by, heard this and nodded slightly, indicating that she understood Shao Yun's feelings.

"Okay, Shao Yun." Ying repeated his name softly.

Shao Yun couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw that the matter was over.

He patted Ying's shoulder, raised a faint smile, and asked, "So, why did you specially ask me out tonight? Is there anything else?"

Ying nodded, still smiling, and replied, "Well, that's the only thing."

When Shao Yun heard this, he couldn't help but pinch the bridge of his nose and smiled bitterly in his heart.

Why does Ying always like to treat small matters as big things? Is it necessary to go to great lengths to discuss this matter?

Maybe this is the character of a girl like Ying. Some small things can become the absolute motivation to keep doing things.

Originally he was thinking of doing some pleasant things between men and women with Ying, but now, Shao Yun gave up the idea.

Finally, the two sat side by side, quietly admiring the charming night sea view for a while, and then went back to rest.

……

It was the morning of the fourth day after the Yuelian Cup Beast Taming Competition.

The breeze blew gently on the sails of the ships in the dock, making a slight rustling sound.

On this day, Kamisato Ayato completed his diplomatic work on Xumi.

Kamisato Ayaka and the Yaedo employees who came with her also successfully completed their field research mission.

At the same time, the Death Star, which has been stationed in the port for a long time, is fully prepared and is about to set off to escort the Kamisato brothers and sisters back to Inazuma.

Captain Beidou stood tall on the deck of the Death Star as usual.

Suddenly she noticed three familiar figures appearing on the dock in the distance.

Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng were walking towards this side.

Beidou's mouth corners slightly raised, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

Then, she jumped nimbly from the high deck and landed steadily on the dock.

After landing, she raised her hands and waved at the three people who were gradually approaching, shouting loudly: "Hey! Hello, you great heroes who saved Liyue!"

After Shao Yun heard Beidou's call, the three of them quickened their pace and walked forward.

When he got closer, Shao Yun opened his arms and responded loudly in a bold and free manner: "Haha, hello, Captain Beidou! We are sorry to bother you again. We are here to take a ride on your boat again!"

Beidou couldn't help but throw his head back and laugh when he heard that.

"Hahaha, it's my honor that you can ride on my Beidou's ship!"

After laughing, Beidou restrained his smile a little, and said with a smile in his eyes: "Your cabin is still the same as before, is it okay?"

Shao Yun nodded happily and said, "Of course, no problem! Everything is up to you, Miss Beidou!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Ying and Paimon beside him, and the two of them also smiled in agreement.

At this time, Paimon looked around curiously and asked curiously: "Where are Kamisato Ayato and Kamisato Ayaka? Why can't I see these two people?"

Hearing this, Beidou laughed heartily and explained, "Oh, Paimon, you are talking about the Kamisato siblings. They are of noble status, so they naturally won't ride on my Death Star."

As she spoke, she raised her arm and pointed at a seemingly ordinary passenger ship next to the Death Star.

"Look, they are right over there. After all, my Death Star is just an armed merchant ship. There are not so many exquisite and luxurious rooms specially used to entertain VIPs!"

When Shao Yun heard that they were not on the same boat with the Kamisato siblings, he joked, "Now no one will compete with us for the room, and Captain Beidou won't be in such a dilemma."

Upon hearing this, Beidou gave Shao Yun a very comfortable answer.

"Haha, I can't bear to let anyone else live in the room where the great hero who saved Liyue lived, so I've kept it for you." Beidou smiled and looked at Shao Yun with admiration.

Seeing this, Shao Yun immediately stretched out his fist and lightly touched Beidou's fist.

"I like listening to you talk." Shao Yun said with a smile.

Beidou waved his hand, signaling the three to get on board.

"Well, without further ado, let's get ready to set sail! Just like last time, our destination is Inazuma!"
