Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Just like that, the two of them sat cross-legged on this red sandstone mountain.

They drank and chatted while leisurely gazing at the vast desert night sky.

At this moment, Shao Yun suddenly asked: "By the way, since you have time now, why don't you go see your sister Ying?"

Hearing this, Kong swallowed the wine in his mouth with a gulp, savoring the dry taste that remained in his mouth, and paused for a moment before answering.

"I went to see it, but my sister is now resting with a group of people in an oasis in the desert south of Aru Village. If I go, it will cause unnecessary trouble."

After saying that, Kong seemed to remember something terrible. He subconsciously put his hand to his forehead and added with lingering fear: "But this is not the most critical reason..."

"Actually, I'm mainly afraid that my sister will beat me up."

Upon hearing this, Shao Yun asked curiously, "What? I understand what you said before. After all, I understand that you are worried about complications."

"But what's going on behind this?"

Kong looked at Shao Yun's puzzled face and couldn't help feeling a little surprised. He asked back, "Haven't you ever been beaten by my sister? My sister has a very bad temper!"

Shao Yun shook his head honestly, a bitter smile appeared on his face, and he slowly said: "In fact, Ying only stepped on my feet accidentally a few times, and I have never been really beaten by her."

"But then again, Yuan Shang was in a miserable state. He was beaten up really badly by Ying."

As he spoke, Shao Yun's mind couldn't help but emerge with the miserable appearance of Yuan Shang with bruised face, crooked mouth and slanted eyes, and he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

After the laughter, Shao Yun couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

"Perhaps in the eyes of every brother, his sister seems to have a particularly hot temper."

Kong, who was standing by, couldn't help but feel envious when he heard Shao Yun say that Ying didn't beat him at all.

Kong took a sip of the gin in the bottle, smiled bitterly and sighed: "Hey, my sister is so gentle to you..."

After hearing what Kong said, Shao Yun smiled slightly, then said in a gentle voice: "This just shows that you must have loved your sister very much in the past!"

“尽管她老是动不动就揍你，但这难道不正是因为她知道你爱着她，所以才会如此肆无忌惮吗？

Kong was originally feeling a little depressed, but after hearing Shao Yun's reasonable answer, he was stunned for a moment.

After a long while, he came back to his senses, scratched his head, and said embarrassedly: "Uh... why did you suddenly become... how should I put it? Giving me a very strange feeling of 'gentleness'?"

Shao Yun shook the high-quality brandy in his hand calmly and said, "Because what I said is the truth. You must love your sister very much..."

……

After that, Shao Yun and Kong sat quietly on the barren desert rock mountain outside Aru Village, drinking wine one sip at a time without any snacks.

Although gin itself has a relatively dry taste, at this moment Kong only felt that his mouth was dry, as if something was missing to neutralize the dryness.

Sora blurted out subconsciously.

"Yuan Shang, quickly bring me some snacks..."

Just as he was halfway through saying this, Kong suddenly realized that Yuan Shang couldn't possibly hear it, and he couldn't help but smile at himself.

"Oh, my memory is so bad! Yuanshang is busy looking for Nashida right now. Don't count on him to help. Forget it."

When Shao Yun heard Kong mention Yuanshang, his thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the days when he was with Inazuma.

He turned his head and looked at Sora beside him, and asked, "By the way, when we were in Inazuma, you arranged for Yuan to go up and deliver the medicine, right? If I remember correctly."

Sora nodded slightly in affirmation.

Then he explained to Shao Yun the reason why he asked Yuan Shang to give the medicine to his sister Ying to drink.

"Yes, that's because he is the only one who pretends to be the most human, and he is the best at dealing with people, and it is not easy for him to be exposed. Of course, this is also the reason why he was sent to lurk in Wanglong Village."

At this point, Kong suddenly remembered an embarrassing incident that happened in the past and couldn't help but start complaining to Shao Yun.

"I remember one time when our Abyss Cult was transporting goods by boat, a Liyue person discovered our flaw. The reason was that the other subordinates were not as good as he was in pretending, so they were exposed..."

Shao Yun knew that the empty talk was about Eula and Yan Fei's joint operation to capture the mysterious cargo transported by the Abyss Cult.

Just as he was about to comfort his brother-in-law, Kong changed the subject and said, "Okay, don't talk about me. Tell me, how are you getting along with my sister recently?"

Shao Yun very tactfully followed his lead and began to narrate what had happened between him and Ying recently.

Strictly speaking, during this period of time, the two of them actually only did one big thing, which is the so-called private thing between husband and wife.

After all, Ying and Paimon have been celebrating the Lantern Festival in Liyue for a long time recently.

Kong, who was already a little drunk, almost choked on his saliva when he heard this, and instantly sobered up a lot.

"Ahem, what the hell! You and my sister were just..."

Shao Yun looked at Kong, who had a surprised look on his face, and appeared very calm.

He shrugged nonchalantly, and then responded in a tone that he had long been accustomed to: "What's the big deal? Aren't you used to it yet?"

Then he added: "Besides, you asked this question yourself, I was just answering it honestly."

Hearing this, Kong couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He could only helplessly cover his forehead with his hands and solemnly said, "Anyway, no matter what, I still say that I don't want to be an uncle so soon."

When Shao Yun heard this, he raised his chin and said to the air in a deliberately provocative manner: "It's okay. If Ying and I have a child now, you can take care of it! You seem to have a lot of free time."

Hearing this, Kong secretly groaned inwardly.

He looked at Shao Yun helplessly and said, "No... No way, you are going too far! How can you order your brother-in-law around like this!"

Just as Kong was racking his brains to continue complaining about Shao Yun, suddenly, urgent news from Yuanshang came through the information channel of the Abyss Cult.

Kong's expression instantly turned serious, and he hurriedly interrupted Shao Yun who was about to continue teasing.

"Wait! Stop making trouble, there's news from Yuan Shang!"

After saying that, Kong quickly focused his mind and established a communication link with Yuan Shang.

"Yuan Shang, what happened?"

On the other side, Yuan Shang's voice sounded a little hurried and excited, and he quickly replied: "Your Highness! Good news, I found the Grass God!"

"I reached an agreement with her, and now I am in the body of the Grass Dragon King Apep! I am ready to learn some information that our Abyss Cult does not know."

Then, Funagami explained the current situation to Sora in detail.

In general, Yuanshang is now accompanying Nashida to repair the battered and scarred body of the Grass Dragon King Apep.

When Kong heard that Nashida had been found, he didn't care what she was doing and immediately ordered: "Okay, I understand. Yuanshang, send me your specific coordinates as soon as possible!"

After obtaining Yuanshang's current coordinates, Kong slowly put down the bottle in his hand, then turned to look at Shao Yun beside him.

"There's news from Yuanshang that he has found the Grass God. Let's set off quickly."

When Shao Yun heard the news, he hurriedly put away his empty wine bottle and stood up quickly.

He casually patted the sand on his pants and responded, "Okay, let's go and meet up with Yuan Shang."

……

On the other side, deep in the vast desert, there is a mysterious ruin.

Within this relic, the extremely huge body of the Grass Dragon King "Apep" is lying across the site.

Inside, Nashida was in a space inside Apep's body, using "fire" to heal her wounds.

Under the influence of this magical power, Apep's originally scarred body is gradually healing and repairing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Miraculously enough, after Yuanshang had fished Nashida out of the earth veins and healed her broken hands, he met the Grass Dragon King "Apep".

……

After a lot of confusing communication, Nashida finally understood one thing: "she" seemed to have promised to save Apep.

Now, Nashida is glad that she found this magical "fire" when she was sorting out "her" personal belongings and carried it with her, otherwise she would be in trouble now.

After a period of hard work, Nashida finally succeeded in repairing Apep's body.

As his injuries improved, Apep gradually regained his sanity.

When she sensed the abyss beside Nashida, she immediately noticed the extremely faint but unignorable breath of the abyss emanating from her body.

With years of coexistence with forbidden knowledge carrying the power of the abyss that troubled him, Apep instantly realized that although the man in front of him looked like a human, he was actually a monster from the Abyss Cult transformed into a human form.

So, Apep couldn't help but sneer and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Oh, how strange! I didn't expect that the Grass God, one of the Seven Rulings of the Earthly World, would appear with the guys from the Abyss Cult. This is really unexpected!"

However, in the face of Apep's teasing, Nashida remained calm and did not take his words to heart at all.

She completed the last step of the repair work leisurely, then gently withdrew her hands and said calmly: "Okay, Apep, your problem caused by forbidden knowledge has been solved."

Apep made a proud and cold voice, and reminded him arrogantly: "Humph, little grass god, don't think that I will change my mind about you just because you cured me."

Upon hearing this, Nashida calmly crossed her arms across her chest, a helpless smile appeared on her face, and she teased softly.

"You, now that you've recovered from your illness, have become tough again. In my memory, our relationship wasn't that tense."

Apep snorted again when he heard this, and retorted: "Humph! But you didn't even sit down politely to eat together, and admire the graceful dancers dancing..."

Although he said it so decisively, if you listened carefully, the hostility contained in it had almost disappeared, and was replaced by more of a contempt.

At this moment, Yuanshang saw that what Nashida had to do had been done, and he couldn't suppress his curiosity and thirst for knowledge. He bravely stepped forward and asked Apep respectfully.

"Ah, the respected and great Lady Apep, please forgive me for interrupting you. May I ask you a few questions about history?"

However, Apep had no good feelings towards these members of the Abyss Cult who acted with the power of the Abyss.

She responded coldly: "I don't want to have anything to do with the Abyss Cult!"

Seeing that Apep ignored him and had no intention of communicating with him, Yuanshang cast expectant eyes towards Nashida who was standing beside him.

He said respectfully, "Dear Little Auspicious Grass King, please have mercy on me and help me persuade this extremely noble Grass Dragon King Apepu!"

"I went through untold hardships to rescue you from the turbulent and unpredictable earth vein energy flow."

"Not only that, I also spent a lot of energy and precious resources to heal your broken hands! Just based on this contribution and friendship, you have to do me this favor no matter what!"

After Yuanshang finished talking to Nashida, he did not dare to pause for a moment and immediately began to show his courtesy to Apep.

All I could hear was him speaking incessantly and flatteringly: "Great Lord Apepu, I beg you to be kind and answer the questions in the heart of a poor man like me who is dull-witted and shallow-minded!

"If you are willing to lend a helping hand, I will certainly not hesitate to use the most gorgeous words to praise your generosity."

Immediately afterwards, Yuanshang began to fulfill his promise.

"In my mind, your position is second only to our wise and brave prince, his blood relatives, and the beloved partner of his blood relatives!"

"You are definitely the fourth person in the world that I sincerely admire!"

These extremely disgusting words from Yuanshang came out of his mouth like a string of cannonballs, making Nashida and Apep get goosebumps all over their bodies.

Even an ancient being like Apep, who had survived for a long time, could hardly withstand such a fierce attack and quickly agreed.

"Alright, alright, I'm afraid of you, okay? I really don't know how a guy like you could appear in your Abyss Cult. You stick to dragons like honey and talk in a way that gives dragons goosebumps!"

After agreeing to Yuan Shang's request, Apep asked coldly: "What history of the past do you want to know?"

Yuan Shang knew that this was a rare opportunity, so he quickly seized the opportunity and asked eagerly, "I am particularly interested in the past of the Desert Red King. Can you tell me about it? The more detailed the better!"

Hearing Yuan Shang's question, Apep was slightly stunned at first, and then said easily: "Oh, you are talking about Amon, about him..."

However, before he could finish his words, Yuanshang suddenly raised his hand and signaled Apep to stop for a while.

"Please wait a moment. I'll take my notes and write it down."

Then he began to fumble around all over his body in a panic.

"Oh my, where did I put my notebook? I have to find it quickly."

After a long while, Yuanshang finally took out a notebook and a pen from his clothes.

Then he smiled apologetically and said, "Excuse me, please continue, I'm ready to record it."
