Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 281 What is the price of killing God?

Paimon was hiding aside obediently. She realized that they needed to be given some time and space alone at this moment, so she stayed quietly not far away and chose not to follow.

Ying walked towards Shao Yun who was sitting in front of the castle tower, staring at his slightly lonely figure with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

"Where's Thor?"

These three simple words were like a heavy hammer hitting Shao Yun's heart.

Shao Yun lowered his head slightly, not daring to look directly at Ying, and responded softly: "I...I did everything I should do."

Ying walked gently to Shao Yun and sat down. She turned her head and looked at the man beside her who had always been so strong and now showed such a vulnerable side again.

She blinked her bright big eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then said what she thought the ending would be.

"You... have killed her?"

Shao Yun slowly raised his head and his eyes met Ying's.

After a moment's silence, Shao Yun nodded slightly, indicating that she was right.

Ying's expression suddenly became extremely complicated, and all kinds of emotions surged into her heart, making her not know how to deal with it for a while.

"You say... should I be happy or angry?"

This sentence is both a response to Shao Yun's killing of the Thunder God and a true reflection of her deep inner conflict and struggle.

Shao Yun took a deep breath, then shifted his gaze away from Ying and looked up at the distant sky.

The sky was a strange and terrifying purple. Then, he turned his head and looked at the houses in Inazuma Castle not far away. The buildings were arranged in an orderly manner, with no signs of burning.

Finally, Shao Yun turned his head again and his gaze fell on Ying again.

"I promised you that there was no blood rain in the sky of Inazuma City. Moreover, I did not hang all the people in Inazuma City under the eaves, and there was no horrific scene like the headless knight carrying my head and the head of the Thunder God."

"As for the Thunder God... She is just like the Salt Demon God 'Heulia'. She disappeared without a trace and left no body. Even if there was one, it is possible that she disappeared into some empty space with the disappearing Isshin Pure Land."

After saying these words, Shao Yun fell silent again, giving Ying some time to think.

At this moment, Ying had no interest in talking to Shao Yun about the dream anymore. After all, to a certain extent, Shao Yun had indeed fulfilled his promise.

However, the facts were very different from what she thought!

Ying clutched her skirt tightly and slowly told about a big plan that she and Coral Palace Xinhai had discussed and drawn up.

"Xinhai and I have come up with a brilliant plan that can resolve all of Inazuma's current problems in a peaceful manner."

Shao Yun nodded slightly and asked softly, "What plan?"

Therefore, Ying explained to Shao Yun in detail her and Coral Palace Xinhai's military remonstrance plan.

At the same time, he also mentioned that he and Paimon were about to go to meet the Yae Goddess, and asked about the progress she had made in her plan to get the God of Thunder to come out of the Pure Land of One Mind during this period of time.

Now that Lei Shen has been killed by Shao Yun, Ying naturally no longer needs to keep these secret plans a secret.

At this moment, Shao Yun couldn't help but recall the original plot, and Ying once again stepped into the pure land of Yixin.

With the help of the wise and beautiful Yae Shinko's hand given to her, she let Yae Shinko's consciousness enter the Isshin Pure Land and gave the most crucial clue, allowing Ying to hear Inazuma's wish.

This allows Ying to use everyone's wishes to defeat Thor's stubborn misunderstanding of eternity.

Afterwards, Ying told Shao Yun about her unexpected little plan, which was how to comfort Shao Yun.

However, Shao Yun had no interest in such a "good thing" at this time. All his attention was focused on the military remonstrance and meeting the Eightfold Son of God.

If Ying's plan can be implemented smoothly, it will eventually fit perfectly with the original plot.

The final result was the same as Lu Xiucai's eloquence in getting Ji Wuming dead.

If we really compare wishes, my obsession with killing the Thunder God is much stronger than the wishes of those Inazuma people.

Never underestimate the determination people show when they want revenge!

Wu Zixu led the State of Wu to invade the State of Chu and whipped the corpse of King Ping of Chu to avenge the murder of his father and brother.

Gou Jian, King of Yue, endured humiliation and endured hardships for ten years just to avenge his humiliation.

Even Dutch, despite being unable to save himself, went to Saint Denis to ensure that Colm was hanged!

……

After listening to everything Ying said, Shao Yun immediately pointed his finger directly at Ying's chest and asked seriously.

"Well, regardless of the outcome of this plan, both Kaijima and the shogunate can benefit greatly from it. What about you?"

Yes, what about you?

Ying was stunned when she heard this, then turned her head and asked in confusion, "Me?"

Seeing this, Shao Yun nodded again and raised the question that he thought was the most critical and serious!

"Yes, everyone's interests seem to have been taken care of, but what did you get?"

Shao Yun didn't want Ying to be like the brave hero in the fairy tale who slayed the dragon and saved the kingdom, saying that he had earned everyone's smiles!

Fairy tales are all made up by cowards who are afraid to face life!

Ying was at a loss for words for a moment because of Shao Yun's question. She was completely stunned. She had never seriously thought about things at this level.

"I......"

Ying opened her mouth, but found that she didn't know how to answer at all. Should she say that she had earned everyone's smiles?

Shao Yun looked at Ying's confused and helpless appearance, took a deep breath, and recalled what happened at that time.

"Do you remember? When we went to steal the Sky Harp together, I made a vow that I would protect you and Paimon. For you, I can kill people, and I can also die for you."

“Now, I have done it! I have fulfilled the promise I made at that time!”

Having said this, Shao Yun pointed hard at his chest, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.

Ying listened quietly to Shao Yun's words, and her mood became increasingly heavy.

Finally, she couldn't help but express the worries that had been hidden in her heart for a long time.

"But what is the price of doing so? Dainsleb once warned me not to trust the Seven Gods too much, but also not to embark on the path of 'overthrowing' or 'hunting' them."

"Although I don't completely agree with the first half of what he said, at this moment, your actions make me feel that you have embarked on the dangerous path of hunting gods!"

It turned out that this was the advice that Dainsleib gave to Ying and Paimon when they were in Mondstadt.

However, because of Shao Yun's appearance, these words appeared on the way before Ying and Paimon went to Westwind Cathedral, and Shao Yun did not hear them.

But Dainsleib did say it.

After listening to this, Shao Yun became extremely agitated and argued loudly.

"This is not an act of hunting down gods, but an act of outright revenge! When you are hurt, I must fulfill the promise I made!"

"To me, there are only three kinds of people in Teyvat: your friends, your enemies, and those who may become your friends or enemies in the future! It has nothing to do with whether the person is a god or not!"

After hearing this, Ying covered her head with her hands, her face full of pain. She murmured to herself: "I really can't understand it. Maybe I feel scared..."

Shao Yun was confused by this. He was not going to drown the so-called throne of heaven like the abyss and kill all seven gods. He really couldn't understand why Ying was afraid.

If Ying had spoken nicely, he would never have resorted to violence, but the reality was that Ying couldn't understand what he was saying, so there was no need for him to waste his breath!

Is this the insurmountable gap between 12+ and 18+? Or did Ying not see Zheping being killed and still fantasize that everything was fine?

Shao Yun reached out to hold Ying's hand, but Ying dodged sideways.

Seeing this, Shao Yun withdrew his hand and asked in a depressed mood: "Do you want me to stand aside and watch coldly, silently praying that everything will get better naturally?"

"I watch you being bullied while I applaud and cheer beside you? Will you be happy? Will you not be afraid?"

Hearing this, Ying quickly released her hands from covering her head, looked straight at Shao Yun, and hastily explained: "That's not what I meant!"

Shao Yun stared at Ying in front of him, and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "So, what exactly do you want to express?"

Ying swallowed hard, made great determination, and finally expressed her innermost thoughts.

"Although Thor did make a mistake, it's not the end of the road yet. There's still a possibility of sitting down and having a good discussion! There's no need to let this conflict escalate further!"

"No one knows what the price will be if they kill a god."

Shao Yun knew that Ying was concerned about him and was afraid that he would suffer retribution for killing the God of Thunder. After all, what Dainsleb said made some sense.

But for Shao Yun, no matter what the cost, killing the Thunder God is worth it!

"There's no room for negotiation! From the moment she cut you, there is no room for negotiation!"

After hearing these words, Ying felt like something was stuck in her throat and for a moment she didn't know how to refute them.

"I……"
