Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

The early morning sunlight shines through the clouds, dappling the streets of Feiyunpo, adding a touch of warmth to this busy city.

Shao Yun, who had just successfully robbed the Northland Bank, had an expression of joy on his face that was difficult to conceal.

He walked briskly on the street, as if the whole world was on his side, everyone's face looked so kind, and everything in his eyes looked so pleasing to the eye.

Just then, two familiar figures came towards them - Ying and Paimon.

Seeing this, Shao Yun's eyes lit up and an even brighter smile appeared on his face. He waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Ying, Paimeng! I'm here!"

Ying and Paimeng heard the voice and looked over, and saw Shao Yun's familiar figure.

A complex emotion flashed across Ying's eyes, while Paimeng forced a smile, waved his hand and responded: "Hello, Shao Yun..."

Shao Yun walked up to the two of them and asked with a smile on his face, "How is the young master? Have you found him?"

When Paimeng heard this question, a hint of helplessness appeared on her face. She thought for a moment, then slowly said, "When Ying and I went there, we didn't find the young master."

When Shao Yun heard this, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

He nodded and pursed his lips. Paimon must have been very disappointed.

Then, he raised his head, looked at Paimon and said, "Perhaps his 'corpse' has been dealt with by the Qianyan Army."

Paimon felt even more depressed when he heard this.

She looked at Shao Yun, a trace of sadness flashing in her eyes.

Seeing this, Shao Yun gently touched Paimeng's head and comforted him: "Don't be so depressed, at least it's not us who died, right? We should be thankful that we are still alive."

Then, Shao Yun thought of what a legendary robber "Mike Townley" once said. He slightly modified it and then said it solemnly to Paimon.

"Being alive is victory, Paimon. Everything else is bullshit! I will ensure your safety no matter what the cost. Even if I have to become a villain."

When Paimeng heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She looked at Shao Yun's firm eyes, as if she saw his inner determination and courage.

She blinked, then said slowly: "I know..."

He looked at Paimon, who still had a look of regret on his face, and told the two that he had successfully robbed the Northland Bank.

Then he reached out his hand and gently rubbed Paimeng's smooth cheek, and said in a gentle tone: "Paimeng, don't think about it, those are all things of the past. Now you should imagine our beautiful future life."

On the other side, Ying looked at Shao Yun's excited expression and asked curiously, "How much did you rob?"

Shao Yun smiled slightly, his eyes revealing an unconcealable joy. He straightened his chest and answered proudly.

"More than 50 billion Mora! We've really made a fortune!"

When she heard this number, Ying's reaction was exactly the same as Keqing's before. She widened her eyes, her body shook violently, and she almost fainted.

Shao Yun was quick to support her immediately.

"Don't get excited, Ying, and Paimeng." Shao Yun's voice was steady and powerful. "What we should discuss now is how to use this huge fortune."

Ying's chest heaved violently. She tried to calm herself and spoke with difficulty.

"Let me take it easy for a moment... Do you know? Paimon and I used to work so hard, but we could only earn more than 10,000 Mora after completing various commissions in a day. And you, in less than an hour, have 50 billion!"

Shao Yun held Ying's hand tightly and gave her firm support.

"That's right, all this money is ours. As for how to spend it, I'll completely listen to you and Paimon!"

Ying's brain was overheated, her eyes were blurry, and her face showed a rare look of fatigue.

Seeing this scene, Shao Yun became worried and quickly walked to Ying's side and gently helped her to the shade nearby.

Shao Yun gently fanned Ying with his palms. His movements were gentle but firm, as if telling Ying that no matter what happened, he would be by her side.

As time passed, Ying's face gradually regained its rosy color.

She slowly opened her eyes and looked at Shao Yun beside her. Her clear eyes were full of gratitude and dependence.

She slightly opened her cherry-like delicate little mouth and wanted to say something, but she was too excited just now and her throat was a little dry.

She had to wait for another minute, and finally, Ying's voice regained some strength, and she slowly spoke.

"Shao Yun, my mind is in a mess now and I don't know what to say... You are so awesome!" Her voice was weak but full of sincerity.

Shao Yun looked at Ying, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes. But this 50 billion is only the entry level, he smiled, ready to tell her a better news!

"Ying, I have good news to tell you, but I am a little hesitant now. I am afraid that you will be too excited after hearing it."

After hearing this, Ying immediately sat up straight, with a hint of curiosity and anticipation in her eyes.

She took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down.

Then she looked at Shao Yun firmly and said, "Tell me, no matter what the news is, I can bear it."

Shao Yun stared into Ying's bright yellow eyes and spoke slowly, with a hint of heaviness in his voice.

"I saw the lady and Zhongli at the Northland Bank. Zhongli is the Rock God! He faked his death. He is not dead at all. In order to save the lady's life, he made a deal with me..."

Shao Yun took a deep breath and continued, "In order to protect the lady, he made a deal with me. He exchanged the lady's life for the information about your brother. You know the value of this deal..."

Having said this, he paused, as if giving Ying enough time to digest this shocking news.

Ying held Shao Yun's hands tightly, her eyes full of disbelief and expectation.

"Really? News about my brother?" Her voice trembled, as if she was afraid that all this was a dream.

Shao Yun nodded and said firmly, "Yes, he promised it himself. Anyone who breaks his promise will be punished by eating rocks. This is his oath, and also his reputation as the Rock God."

Hearing this, Ying, who had been able to remain calm, could no longer control her emotions. She excitedly moved her face close to Shao Yun and gently kissed his cheek.

The kiss was light and quick, but full of passion and tenderness, as warm and sweet as a spring breeze on your face.

Paimon saw this scene from the side and was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.

She quickly covered her eyes with her hands, as if she was afraid of seeing something she shouldn't see. However, she couldn't help but sneak a peek through the gaps between her fingers.

Ying kissed Shao Yun for a while before reluctantly letting him go. She then whispered, "Thank you, Shao Yun." Her voice was full of gratitude and joy, as if all the emotions at this moment were condensed in these words.

Shao Yun looked at Ying, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He subconsciously touched his lips, and a helpless smile appeared on his face. He teased: "This little thing makes you so excited. If you really find your brother, I'm afraid I will be really scared by you."

Ying looked at Shao Yun deeply, and then said meaningfully: "When the time comes, you will know everything." Her eyes revealed a kind of determination and expectation, as if she had already seen the day when she would reunite with her brother.

Then, Ying turned and looked up at the sky, her eyes sparkling. She began to look forward to the future and imagine the scene when she would meet her brother again.

She knew that moment would be one of the best moments of her life.

……

At this moment, a burst of hurried and heavy footsteps broke the tranquility of the early morning.

I saw a soldier wearing the armor of the Qianyan Army hurriedly walking through the streets. He was holding a striking yellow scroll in his hand, with a solemn and sad expression on his face.

As he walked, he announced loudly: "The Emperor has passed away! The funeral ceremony will be held at 12 noon today!"

This sudden news was like a huge rock thrown into a lake, causing ripples.

I didn't expect that after dealing with Osel, Qixing couldn't wait to hold a ceremony to send off the immortal. It was a bit too hasty to transfer power quickly.

Shao Yun nodded, looked at Ying, and said softly: "It's still a long time before 12 o'clock, why don't we go and have a look after dinner."

However, Ying shook her head. She stood up, clenched her fists, and said excitedly, "Let's go directly. Zhongli will definitely be there. I need to know what happened to my brother as soon as possible."

Her voice was firm and urgent, as if an invisible force was pushing her forward.

Shao Yun looked at Ying's determined eyes and couldn't help but sigh. He stood up and pulled Ying up.

"Okay, let's go."

The road to Yujingtai was crowded with people, as if all the people in Liyue Harbor had gathered here, their faces filled with worry and sadness.

Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng were slowly walking towards Yujingtai.

In the crowd, a middle-aged man shook his head helplessly, his eyes full of loss.

"It seems that all this is true. Prince Yan has really left us." His words were filled with deep regret, as if a heavy stone was pressing on everyone's heart.

Not far away, an old man with white hair had red eyes and tears welled up in them. He was shaking his hands and muttering to himself.

“Alas, I never thought that the Emperor would... would die so suddenly..." The old man's voice gradually choked and he could no longer speak.

Just then, a man who looked like a worker suddenly interrupted.

"Do you think it was the Fatui who did it? They have been eyeing Liyue covetously. Maybe they are the ones who did it!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings suddenly fell silent, as if all the sounds were swallowed up by this sudden speculation.

The man who looked like a wealthy businessman nodded, frowning, "It's possible. Yesterday they created chaos on the streets just like they did in Mondstadt. Maybe it's because Qixing found some evidence and they are desperate!"

A dock worker also clenched his fists with an angry expression on his face.

"When will the Liyue Seven Stars be able to drive away those jackals from the snowfields! They are doing whatever they want here, it's simply lawless!"

The old man let out a long sigh, as if all his sadness and helplessness were condensed in this sigh.

He looked up at the sky, as if looking for the figure that once protected Liyue.

Shao Yun looked at the people around him talking in a flurry of voices, their faces filled with anticipation and uneasiness about the upcoming changes.

He turned and whispered to Ying beside him, "If their wish is to be fulfilled, the Fatui will probably no longer be seen in Liyue Harbor. And the Northland Bank is empty. Perhaps the Liyue Seven Stars will take over that place and bring it back to life."

After hearing this, Ying's lips curled up into a playful smile. She jokingly said, "Then you'll rob again? Make the entire Liyue Harbor tremble for you?"

Shao Yun smiled, his eyes flashing with uninhibited light, as if he was not opposed to such a proposal. He replied: "If you want me to rob, I will continue to rob until you are satisfied."

After hearing this, Ying gently patted Shao Yun's shoulder, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.

"There's an old saying in Liyue: 'Man's greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant.' You better be careful, don't let the situation get out of hand."

Shao Yun nodded, a serious look on his face. He said, "Okay, I'll take note. From now on, I will only rob those treasure-stealing groups, the Fatui, and those blind guys. Although I'm not short of money now, who would complain about having too little money?"

After hearing this, Ying spread her hands helplessly, as if she felt both helpless and amused about Shao Yun's character.

"Oh, I'm really scared of you. But as long as you don't go too far and you're happy, I don't mind."

……

Arriving at Yiyan Hall, outside the venue, the crowd surged like a tide, and the noise was one after another. Although it was still a long time before noon, people had already gathered here impatiently, waiting for the arrival of the solemn moment.

In this noisy crowd, Shao Yun looked around and found that the crowd had surrounded the venue so tightly that no one could get in or out.

He frowned slightly, then squatted down and whispered to Ying beside him: "Ying, the old rules."

Ying looked at Shao Yun helplessly. She had already seen through his behavior. She nodded gently and said, "You, okay."

Afterwards, Ying rode lightly on Shao Yun's neck as if she was watching the ceremony of summoning the immortal for the first time.

Shao Yun stood up and held Ying's legs steadily so that she could see farther and more clearly.

Standing on Shao Yun's shoulder, Ying's sight passed through the layers of people and saw the situation inside the venue from afar.
