Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Shao Yun took advantage of the presence of Dainsleib and began to motivate everyone in the tent. His words were full of power, just like Dutch van der Linde inspiring people in the tent.

"The environment of this snowy mountain is an unprecedented challenge for us. The Abyss Cult will never let us go easily. Since they can't find us directly, they will definitely use the most primitive and difficult methods to step into this vast snowy mountain step by step to search for our traces."

"In the days ahead, we will have no place to stay in this snowy area, but please believe me, I, Shao Yun, will definitely find ways to lead us out of the current predicament and get rid of the pursuit of the Abyss Cult!"

At this point, Shao Yun's voice became even more sonorous and powerful. He clenched his fists tightly, concentrating all his faith and determination into them.

"After this disaster, heaven will be behind us!"

These eight words echoed in the tent and were deeply engraved in the hearts of the four people.

Afterwards, Shao Yun turned and left, and Dainsleb followed closely behind him and walked out of the tent together.

Shao Yun realized what he wanted to say and immediately changed the subject.

"Oh, look at my poor memory. I forgot to prepare warm clothes for you. I'll go get them now."

However, Dainsleb was not easily diverted. He gently pulled Shao Yun's arm and looked straight into his face.

"I'm not cold, Shao Yun. What I want to know most now is, now that we have taken Kong away, what are your plans for next? How can we completely get rid of the threat of the Abyss Cult?"

Shao Yun pondered for a moment, touched his chin, and gave his plan.

"Our strategy is to deal with the Abyss Cult in the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain until my contract with the demon expires. By then, I will face it in person, make a deal, and end it all. As for the time..."

He shook his head helplessly.

"It could be tomorrow, or it could be next week, it's really hard to say."

After listening to Shao Yun's plan, Dainsleb couldn't help but complain: "You don't even know when the guy behind you is willing to see you."

Shao Yun did not dwell on this too much. His eyes were firm and his tone was resolute.

"Listen, our current conditions are not bad. We have enough food, warm clothes, and available transportation. The most important thing is that we have time. As long as we keep fighting and grit our teeth, this predicament will eventually pass."

He changed the subject and went straight to the point.

"Without Kong's participation, the Abyss Cult's conspiracy will be difficult to succeed. This is an opportunity for us and also in your interest. Unless you have a more sophisticated countermeasure, we can only act according to this plan."

Upon hearing this, Dainsleb slowly closed his eyes, weighing the pros and cons, and after a moment, he opened them again.

"Okay, so what should I do next?"

Shao Yun pointed to the exit of the camp, his tone revealing an unquestionable power.

"You go and take charge of the alert, and I'll prepare the food. After dinner, we must immediately find a new hiding place, preferably a sturdy cave. This fragile tent can't withstand the severe cold of the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain at night."

Dainsreb nodded silently, then turned and walked to the edge of the camp to perform his duties.

Shao Yun turned around and went to cook, and the two of them each performed their own duties.

Inside the tent, Ying and Paimon's bodies gradually regained warmth.

Ying sat beside Kong, holding a water bottle tightly in her hand, and carefully fed Kong water. While feeding him, she asked softly, "Brother, I have a lot of things in my heart that I want to tell you. Why did you go with the Abyss Cult? What is this for?"

Kong drank the last drop of water, then looked at Ying gently and shook his head slightly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"Sister, you don't understand the complexity behind this. This is not the end of your journey, you still have a long way to go."

When Ying heard this, her voice was full of determination and reluctance.

"So, where is my destination? The only reason I embarked on this journey to Teyvat was to find you. Now that I have found you, I never want to be separated from you again. This time, I still choose to believe in Shao Yun unconditionally."

Kong looked at Ying's eyes that were full of trust and expectation, feeling mixed emotions. He continued to explain, but his words seemed pale and powerless.

"Sister, why would I want to be separated from you? It's just that the entanglement here is far more complicated than you think..."

After saying that, Kong sighed, as if a heavy burden was weighing on his heart.

"Now is not the best time for us to really reunite."

Ying didn't care about these. She looked at Kong gently, her tone revealing an unquestionable determination.

"Like Shao Yun said, I only care that you can stay with us at this moment. He will find a way, and we will find a place where we can stop in peace and live together in Teyvat."

When Kong heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he turned to ask about Ying's power.

"What about you? Are you no longer seeking the power you lost?"

Ying took out the Hao Ke revolver given by Shao Yun from his waist and gently stroked the gun body.

"He promised to teach me how to use the gun. And, it seems to me, I want you back more than I want my powers back."

Kong's eyes fell on the hat on Ying's head and the revolver in her hand, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He sighed softly: "He...he has led you astray, Ying..."

But Kong still didn't give up and continued to persuade Ying.

"The Abyss Cult will not give up, sister. I promise you, I will wait for you at the true end."

Ying's eyes were full of confusion, and she desperately wanted an answer.

"Brother, I have already reunited with you, why do I want to leave? Is it because of Shao Yun's existence?"

When Kong heard this, although he was angry, he felt more love and helplessness towards his sister.

He tried to calm down and said slowly: "Shao Yun, I am indeed dissatisfied with him. He kidnapped you. But this is not the real reason."

Ying's anxiety was evident, and she held Kong's hand tightly.

"What is the reason? Tell me, brother, please tell me!"

There was a hint of struggle in Kong's eyes, but it eventually turned into a heavy sigh.

"I'm sorry, Ying, I can't tell you this secret... But I beg you, let me go and continue your journey. This is my request as a brother."

Just then, Shao Yun walked into the room with two bowls of steaming vegetable stew. His arrival unexpectedly interrupted the tense atmosphere between the brother and sister.

"Ying, don't be angry. Let the past be the past. Now that we have found Kong, I will find a way to completely rid ourselves of the threat of the Abyss Cult. When everything is over, your brother will naturally let go of his worries. We will find a quiet place and start over. Everything will be fine."

As he spoke, Shao Yun handed the steaming food to Ying and Paimeng.

He whispered to Ying, "I'll get the food for your brother right away. Try this first."

Ying took the wooden spoon, gently scooped up a spoonful of soup, put it into her mouth, and a satisfied smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Mm, it's delicious. The tomato flavor is really strong and warming."

Seeing this, Shao Yun felt relieved. He didn't expect that in addition to grilling meat, he was also good at stewing soup. Could it be the blessing of "Van der Linde's Tiger"?

Afterwards, Shao Yun reached out and gently touched Paimeng's little head wrapped in a woolen shawl, and said in a soft and comforting tone: "Paimeng, I know the days in the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain are cold and hard, but please believe me, everything will be fine."

Paimeng drank his soup quietly and nodded slightly, responding to Shao Yun with his actions.

Shao Yun smiled and said "believe me", then turned and left to prepare food for "Kong".

Kong saw Shao Yun leave and wanted to persuade Ying again, but was interrupted by her gentle but firm voice.

"Don't say anything, brother. I understand Shao Yun's decision and support his choice. I'll feed you later."

Just when Kong was about to say something, Shao Yun walked in again, holding a bowl of steaming thick vegetable stew in his hand.

"No, I have to feed your brother this meal myself. You can't let others enjoy the good deed of feeding others." There was a bit of childish stubbornness in Shao Yun's words.

Ying couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then a playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Are you jealous? Jealous of my brother?"

Upon hearing this, Shao Yun was not at all embarrassed. Instead, he nodded generously.

"Yes, I am jealous. You have never fed me, so I want to feed your brother myself to show my 'sovereignty'."

Faced with Shao Yun's persistence and arrogance, Ying shook her head helplessly.

"You guy... Fine, whatever you want. But the only request is that you don't let my brother go hungry."

Seeing this, Shao Yun curled up a smug smile and gave Ying a reassuring look.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of my brother-in-law and make sure he has enough to eat."

Kong stared at Shao Yun angrily, and he almost roared out his anger.

"I really want to kill you, you messed up everything!"

Shao Yun didn't care about this sudden anger. He responded in an almost frivolous manner: "Eat first before you kill me."

As he spoke, he squatted down beside Kong, scooped up a spoonful of hot soup himself, and handed it to Kong's mouth with a playful smile on his face.

"Eat, my good brother-in-law will feed you personally."

Sora was furious, he was in no mood to eat right now.

"Your reckless behavior will kill many people!"

Shao Yun took advantage of the gap when Kong opened his mouth and quickly put the soup in the spoon into his mouth. Considering that he was his brother-in-law, he comforted him in a gentle tone: "No one will die. We will survive. Believe me."

Kong swallowed the soup and questioned Shao Yun again.

"The Abyss Cult will surely cause casualties among innocent people on their way to find me. Don't you really care?"

Upon hearing this, Shao Yun said nonchalantly while feeding his brother-in-law.

"Let's not talk about who can live in this snowy mountain, but I admit that I do lend a hand to others sometimes. But then again, I'm not a savior or messiah. In the days to come, we just need to live our own lives well."
