Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

In Guyun Pavilion, on a clear morning, on the Death Star, the crew members were busy shuttling between the deck and the cabin, each carrying out their own tasks.

The sunlight shone on the sea, making the waves sparkle and giving the huge armed merchant ship a golden glow.

At this time, the first mate Hailong was standing by the boat, staring at a black-sailed boat gradually approaching in the distance.

He squinted his eyes, trying to see what was happening on the boat.

Then he shouted loudly: "Little boat over there, what is your purpose in approaching our Death Star?"

The fishing boat slowly approached, Shao Yun walked out of the black-sailed boat, stood at the bow, and shouted to Hailong: "Hello, we are here to see Miss Beidou."

When Hai Long heard the words "Miss Beidou", he was stunned for a moment, then he whispered, "Miss Beidou?" But soon, he reacted and asked loudly, "Are you talking about our big sister, Captain Beidou?"

Shao Yun responded in a hoarse voice: "Yes, we have something to ask her."

When Hai Long heard the words "Miss Beidou", he muttered secretly: "Oh, this is the first time I hear someone call the big sister like this, Miss Beidou? It sounds a bit awkward..."

However, Hai Long did not forget his duty. He quickly adjusted his mindset, looked at Shao Yun seriously, and asked, "May I ask your name? What brings you to our Death Star?"

Shao Yun thought for a moment and replied, "My name is Tasi... Oh, no, my name is Shao Yun."

When Hai Long heard the name "Shao Yun", his expression instantly became serious. He asked in surprise: "What! You are Shao Yun!"

Shao Yun nodded and emphasized again: "Yes, it's Shao Yun. We have no ill intentions, but there are some things we need to discuss with Miss Beidou."

Hai Long had heard of Shao Yun's reputation and knew that this matter was of great importance. He did not dare to neglect it and hurriedly shouted, "Please wait a moment! I will go and inform the big sister!"

After saying that, he turned and ran into the cabin.

……

In the captain's room of the Death Star, Beidou, the captain with long black hair, bangs half covering his left eye, and red pupils, was sitting at the table wearing a special cheongsam and high-heeled over-the-knee boots, discussing the details of the upcoming "Southern Cross Martial Arts Tournament" with Kaedehara Manye beside him.

Man Ye, on the other hand, has a gentle and elegant appearance, with his white hair tied into a short braid hanging behind his head, two tufts of hair on his forehead, and a touch of red highlights that echoes his eye color, which is particularly eye-catching.

He was wearing a gray samurai uniform with the furisode kimono draped only on the left shoulder. The right half of the coat was cleverly tied at the waist, and the right furisode fluttered in the wind, adding a bit of unrestrainedness.

Two scarves, one black and one red, are wrapped around her neck, the Eye of God is elegantly pinned behind her back, and a maple leaf is tied around her waist as a decoration. Maple leaf patterns are cleverly integrated into the scarf, furisode and dark red hakama, making her look mysterious and full of charm.

The red tights and black anklets on his lower body highlight his figure.

At this moment, Hailong suddenly rushed in, breaking the silence in the room. "Big sister, something happened!" He shouted anxiously, his face full of panic.

Beidou frowned when he heard this, looked at Hailong sharply, and asked, "What happened? You are so panicked."

Hai Long tried to calm his breathing and organize his words more clearly: "That evil star 'Shao Yun' is here, and is waiting outside the ship. He wants to see you."

Beidou couldn't help but feel a little confused when he heard this.

The name Shao Yun was not unfamiliar to her, but the two had no direct connection. She couldn't help but mutter, "Shao Yun? I have nothing to do with him. What on earth is the purpose of his coming here?"

Wan Ye's eyes flickered when he heard this, as if he remembered something. He calmly asked, "Sister Beidou, could this person be the 'Shao Yun' you mentioned to Lord Tianquanxing?"

Beidou nodded and said with a complicated expression: "It is this man. The outside world says that he is unruly and has killed many people. But some people also say that he is a generous knight. The destruction of the flower boat 'Zhudian Fang' in Liyue Harbor and the murderer of the female corpse in the well case in Chihuyan were all done by him. I personally feel that although he is cruel and ruthless, he is not a bloodthirsty person."

Wan Ye nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, then turned to Hai Long and asked, "Brother Hai Long, do you know the purpose of Shao Yun's visit?"

Hailong shook his head and said helplessly: "I really don't know about this. He just said he wanted to see Big Sister Beidou."

Hearing this, Beidou stood up, rubbed his shoulders, and said generously: "In that case, let's go meet him."

When Hailong heard that Beidou was going to see him, he advised: "Big sister, this is not safe... After all, Qixing would..."

"We haven't offended him, so what is there to be afraid of? Maybe he came here for the Southern Cross Fighting Association." After saying that, Beidou walked around Hailong and went straight outside.

Seeing this, Hailong was still a little worried, but seeing that Beidou was so determined, he said no more and just followed her silently.

……

On the other side, Shao Yun, Ying and the little guy Paimon, who was always inseparable from them, were invited on board by the crew of the Death Star.

When Pinghai saw Shao Yun and others get on the boat, he immediately rowed away. As for the boat fare, in his eyes, it was a choice between money and life.

As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood!

Shao Yun stood on the spacious deck, carefully examining the Death Star, a ship that carried countless stories and adventures, and the crew members who made a living in the wind and waves.

Just as he was immersed in his own thoughts, Beidou and Manye walked out of the cabin, breaking the tranquility.

When Beidou saw Shao Yun, and Ying and Paimeng beside him, he was slightly stunned.

She originally thought that Shao Yun was the only one visiting, but she never expected that there would be such a "luxurious" lineup.

If Shao Yun acted alone, she might have to be careful.

Ningguang once mentioned that as long as Shao Yun was accompanied by the blond traveler and the white "mascot" who looked harmless but was actually full of spirituality, he would not easily do anything extreme.

Then, Beidou's hearty laughter cut through the air, and she greeted them warmly: "Haha, what a rare good day! I have the honor of meeting the legendary guardians of Liyue - you three travelers from a foreign land."

As she spoke, her eyes moved between Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng.

Ying seemed a little surprised by Beidou's enthusiasm. She blinked her curious eyes and asked, "Do you know us?"

Beidou nodded and explained, "Of course, Ningguang often mentioned you. She talked about how you helped Liyue survive the crisis, defeated the demon god Osair, and drove away those annoying Fatui, bringing peace and tranquility to Liyue. I, Beidou, naturally admire heroes like you."

After hearing Beidou's impassioned praise, Ying couldn't help but blush. She shyly responded, "You're too kind, Captain Beidou..."

Seeing this, Beidou, instead of taking back her compliments, shook her head more firmly and continued.

“I’m not exaggerating. In Ningguang’s eyes, you are the heroes of Liyue. It’s not something that ordinary people can do to make someone as picky as Ningguang praise you.”

"When she mentioned you, I was itching to meet these talented people who impressed her. After meeting them today, I found that they are indeed as good as they say."

At this time, Shao Yun couldn't help laughing at the side. He joked, "Miss Beidou, you are really good at talking, hahahaha."

Beidou turned to look at Shao Yun, with a hint of admiration in her eyes. She exclaimed: "You are Mr. Shao Yun, right? As the rumors say, you are elegant and dignified."

Shao Yun seemed a little uncomfortable with Beidou's praise. He waved his hand and brought the topic back on track.

"Okay, I don't care what Miss Beidou has heard about me from the outside world. Now I promise you that I will not kill anyone on your ship. Don't worry. Let's not waste time. Let's get down to business. We are here to talk to you about something."

Beidou slowly stopped smiling when he heard that, and asked seriously, "Oh? What's the matter? Just tell me."

Shao Yun took out a letter written by Ningguang from his arms and handed it to Beidou respectfully.

"We want to go to Inazuma. Miss Ningguang asked us to ask you for help. She also wrote me a letter of introduction. Please take a look."

Beidou took the letter and gently opened the delicate wax seal. A rich scent of neon flowers instantly filled the air, causing her to cough twice.

"Ahem, Ningguang, couldn't she use less perfume? The fragrance on the letter almost choked me to death... No, when would she use such a strong perfume? Was she trying to tease me?" Beidou complained while carefully reading the contents of the letter.

The letter clearly and concisely stated her meaning.

Ningguang hopes that Beidou can assist Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng in going to Inazuma, and promises to pay for their boat tickets.

After Beidou carefully put away Ningguang's letter, she said to Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng who was floating in the air with her usual generous attitude: "I understand. Welcome on board. However, the actual departure will take a few days. I will let Brother Wanye arrange a proper accommodation for you first."

Paimon was puzzled after hearing this. He stretched out his hand and scratched his head gently, and asked in confusion: "Manye? Brother? What's going on?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fengyuan Manye walked out from the depths of the cabin. With a smile on his face, he greeted Shao Yun and his group: "Hello, Shao Yun, Ying, and Paimeng. Big Sister Beidou often mentions you. My name is Fengyuan Manye, you can just call me Manye."

Seeing this, Beidou patted Manye's shoulder generously and said with a smile: "Manye, you came at the right time. I was just about to introduce you to a new friend."

Then, Beidou formally introduced Shao Yun and the other two: "This is Fengyuan Manye from Inazuma. He is temporarily staying on my ship for some special reasons."

Wan Ye's eyes moved around Shao Yun and the other two, as if he could see through everything: "From you, I feel the breath of wind and earth, the deep call of the starry sky, and... a barely perceptible smell of blood and sulfur."

After hearing this, Paimon's face was filled with confusion. He tilted his head and muttered in confusion, "What... are these? These comments seem very strange..."

Shao Yun lowered his head and smelled his clothes, looking confused.

"Do I smell? I remember I took a good shower."

Wan Ye shook his head slightly and said calmly: "Nothing, I just believe that fateful encounters must have their meaning."

After hearing this, Shao Yun muttered quietly, "It's really weird... But I'm also very weird, and it seems I have no right to say anything about others."

Seeing the harmonious atmosphere at the moment, Beidou gently patted Manye's shoulder and said, "Manye, you are responsible for finding a comfortable place for these three to settle down. I have to go prepare for the Southern Cross Fighting Association first."

Paimon blinked his big eyes and asked curiously, "Southern Cross Fighting Association?"

Beidou smiled cheerfully and explained, "Oh, that's the martial arts tournament I organized. It has attracted many masters who want to show off their martial arts skills."

After saying that, she couldn't help but sigh, "I originally thought you were here to compete, but I didn't expect you were planning to take my ship to Inazuma. It would have been a lot of fun if you could join us. What a pity."

Paimon's curiosity was completely aroused, and she asked, "Captain Beidou, please tell us about this competition!"

Beidou thought for a moment and said, "This competition is a little different from ordinary martial arts competitions. First of all, the contestants must have a resounding name and cannot be the kind who are just here to join in the fun. Second, the contestants cannot have the Eye of God, otherwise the gap in strength will be too big and the competition will be boring."

When Paimeng heard this, he immediately turned to Ying and said, "Then Shao Yun can't participate, but Ying, you fully meet the criteria!"

Ying pinched Paimeng's cheek and said with a smile: "Paimeng, don't always think about it. When did I say I wanted to participate in the competition?"

Paimon stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "Hehe, there should be rewards for the competition. It won't hurt for Ying to participate..."

At this time, Beidou took the opportunity to say: "Paimon is right. It's not bad to participate. The prize for the champion is very special. It is an ownerless Eye of God."

This sentence aroused Ying's curiosity.

"The ownerless Eye of God? How can the Eye of God be without an owner?"

Wan Ye explained: "When the original owner of the Eye of God passed away, the Eye of God would lose its light, but the shell would remain. I think this empty shell may have the meaning of inheritance."

"This God's Eye is the prize I prepared for the competition. If the winner of the martial arts competition can reawaken this God's Eye, then it will belong to the winner, and it will be of use."

After listening to Manye's explanation, Beidou looked at Ying again and asked, "How is it? Are you interested in giving it a try?"

Facing Beidou's sincere invitation, Ying remained silent for a moment, then turned her gaze to Shao Yun beside her and asked with a hint of inquiry: "Shao Yun, what do you think I should do?"

Upon hearing this, Shao Yun pondered for a moment. He had originally participated in the martial arts competition just for the boat ticket to Inazuma, but now that his goal has been achieved, Shao Yun didn't want to cause any more trouble.

Besides, taking advantage of this opportunity, Shao Yun wanted to teach the two how to use guns.

He gently patted the cowboy revolver hanging on his waist and said, "I personally don't want you to participate, because I want to teach you how to practice shooting with Paimon..."

He paused for a moment, weighing something, and then continued, "However, I also understand your determination. If you really want to participate in a martial arts tournament, I will naturally support you with all my strength."

Hearing this, Ying stroked her chin gently, a helpless smile appeared on her face, and then she expressed her apologies to Beidou.

"I'm sorry, Captain Beidou, I'm afraid I can't participate in this Southern Cross Martial Arts Tournament."

Although Beidou felt a little regretful after hearing Ying's answer, her smile was still bright and sincere.

"It doesn't matter. Everyone has their own choices. However, you can come to watch the game and feel the passion and excitement."

After that, Beidou turned to Wanye and said, "Brother Wanye, the next thing is up to you. I have to go first."

Wan Ye nodded solemnly and responded, "Okay, Big Sister Beidou, I will take good care of them."

Then, Wan Ye stepped aside and invited the three people in an elegant manner, "Please follow me. I will take you to find a comfortable room to rest for a while."

Shao Yun politely took off his hat to express his gratitude.

"Thank you for the arrangement."
