Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Ying and Paimon walked into the box.

Ying's eyes fell on Kong, who was sitting cross-legged on the mat, and she asked suspiciously, "Brother, you...what on earth happened here?"

Shao Yun, who was standing by, slowly turned his head and looked at the somewhat embarrassed Kong, and asked, "Kong, please explain it yourself, or let me explain it for you."

Kong took a deep breath, cleared his throat, and then turned his gaze to Shao Yun.

"Let me do the talking, but before that, how about we sit down and have something to eat together?"

Hearing this, Paimon, who was originally immersed in confusion, was instantly diverted.

She stared with wide eyes, looking at the table full of sumptuous and tempting delicacies, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Wow! There are so many delicious foods!"

Paimon completely forgot about the weird atmosphere around him and flew to the dining table happily.

Her face was filled with a joyful smile, and she rubbed her hands happily and muttered.

"Hehehe, then I won't be polite!"

However, when she looked at the table carefully, she suddenly showed a hint of surprise and laughed and muttered again.

"Huh? Why are there only two sets of tableware?"

Seeing this, Kong quickly used the communication skills unique to the Abyss to contact Yuan Shang who had just fled out of the window in panic.

At this moment, Yuanshang was gently rubbing his injured ankle while secretly groaning in pain.

I twisted my ankle when I jumped down just now, and I was grimacing in pain!

Suddenly, Kong's familiar voice rang in Yuanshang's ears.

"Yuan Shang, go and ask someone to bring up three sets of tableware, and order some extra food, and have the boss of Wu Youting send it over quickly."

When Yuanshang heard this, he suddenly raised his head, looked towards the open window on the second floor, and asked with a look of astonishment.

"Your Highness, you didn't run away?"

In the box, Kong frowned slightly, obviously a little impatient, and responded stiffly: "Why are you talking so much nonsense!"

After saying that, Kong stopped talking, and Yuanshang sighed helplessly.

After all, Kong is the noble prince, so he has to obey orders.

……

Inside the box, Shao Yun, Ying, Paimeng and brother-in-law Kong were sitting around the table eating.

Kong sat alone on one side, while Shao Yun, Ying, and Paimeng huddled together on the other side to eat.

Except for Paimon who was concentrating on eating, the other three were absent-minded. Each of them had their own thoughts and didn't eat much.

Finally, Ying picked up a piece of vegetable and put it in her mouth, chewing for a while, then slowly put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand, looking at Kong who was sitting opposite her.

"So, brother, what brings you to Inazuma Castle?"

Kong slowly put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, and after a moment of silence, he said: "The reason why I came here... well, I'm sure you know it in your heart, Ying."

"I recently heard about what happened between you and Shao Yun. I was worried, so I came to take a look."

Kong did not mention that he needed Shao Yun's help.

According to him, the reason for his visit was just an ordinary visit from an elder brother to his sister and brother-in-law.

When Ying heard this, she thought to herself that it seemed that her brother already knew about the entanglement between her and Shao Yun.

So, she lowered her head and replied softly: "Oh, that's how it is."

After a few seconds, Ying raised her head, forced a smile, and said casually, "Actually, it's not a big deal."

Seeing this, Kong raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it really just a trivial trouble? Then who told Shao Yun that I missed you?"

Now that things have come to this, Ying knows there is no need to hide it anymore.

Ying's hands twisted together involuntarily, her expression seemed extremely nervous, and she stammered to explain: "Brother, I'm not angry or upset with Shao Yun!"

"I just... I just, I don't know how to describe my mood, I just want to relax."

Having said this, Ying no longer hesitated and spoke out the thoughts that were buried deep in her heart.

"Brother, you know the reason why we set out on this journey. One is to find my power back. The other is because of the trust given by the God of Wind and God of Rock."

Ying did not tell the third reason, because it was a secret between her and Kong and Shao Yun must not know it.

"I'm worried that Shao Yun will have to bear consequences beyond my imagination because of killing the gods... I just can't figure it out for the moment..."

Shao Yun turned around, looked at Ying, and said firmly: "For you, no matter how much I pay, it is worth it! And it was obviously Baalzebub who was wrong first! She was the one who hurt you..."

Ying bit her lower lip tightly, her face solemn, and responded with a little embarrassment: "I know you are doing this for me, but you should always consider yourself."

"Think about what I told you about Dainsleb. I'm worried about you! I don't want to see you end up like Kanreya!"

Shao Yun spread his hands indifferently and said, "But I'm not dead. I'm alive and well now, so you don't have to worry!"

Kong saw that the two people in front of him were clearly thinking about each other, but they were about to quarrel, so he quickly spoke up to stop them: "Okay, okay, stop quarreling and listen to me for a while!"

When Shao Yun saw his brother-in-law speaking, he immediately shut his mouth and stopped talking.

Ying, who was standing by, smoothed her hair which was a little messy due to excitement, looked up at Kong, and tried to slow down her breathing which was a little rapid due to her emotional fluctuations.

"Well, brother, you tell me."

Kong looked at Ying and slowly expressed his thoughts: "Ying, I understand that deep down in your heart you are worried and uneasy about the unknown consequences that Shao Yun's killing of the gods may cause."

At this point, Kong suddenly changed his tone and asked a question.

"But, sister, do you think it's wrong for Shao Yun to avenge you?"

Hearing this question, Ying immediately fell into deep entanglement. After hesitating for a moment, she stammered and replied: "Of course I know that Shao Yun cares about me very much, but..."

As he spoke, Ying gently tapped his forehead with his hand, trying to relieve the chaotic thoughts in his mind.

Then, she turned her head to look at Shao Yun and continued worriedly: "Actually, I really don't want to talk about the snow mountain anymore."

"But, what if you, Shao Yun, become addicted to killing because of Inazuma's matter? What should we do then?"

Ying took a deep breath and finally mustered up the courage to speak out the issue that had been buried deep in her heart and that worried her the most.

"If the grass god of Xumi or the water god of Fontaine pose a threat to me, do you intend to kill them?"

Maybe this time, Shao Yun, you didn't suffer any retribution for killing the gods, but what about next time?"

Everyone's good luck will run out!

Shao Yun’s mind quickly flashed through the two countries he was going to visit next, Xumi and Fontaine.

The grass god of Xumi, he thought that Nashida, who only knew how to go to the toilet quickly, would be fine.

After all, Xumi's main contradiction is centered on the attempt of the Ministry of Education to create a god, and the specific situation will have to be determined at that time.

Speaking of "Funina", the water goddess of Fontaine, there would be no conflict except that at the beginning, it was a bit, how to describe it, a bit funny.

Besides, Fontaine is all about the big water, and Funina plays her water god. We do our own thing, and nothing will happen if we don't interfere with each other.

After thinking about it, Shao Yun turned to look at Ying and said firmly: "Ying, the conflict between me and Lei Shen is entirely because she doesn't understand human language! If she doesn't hurt you, I will never kill her!"

Having said that, Shao Yun slowly stretched out two fingers and said seriously.

"Ying, think carefully about Wendy and Zhongli, even though I don't have much affection for them at the moment."

"But one fact that must be acknowledged is that they do not pose any substantial threat to you! Because of this, considering that they are both gods, I am willing to give them the respect and face they deserve."

"The only time I wanted to kill was..."

Shao Yun paused for a moment, and the scenes that had happened on the snowy mountain emerged involuntarily in his mind, and he could not help but clench his teeth tightly.

Then Shao Yun waved his hands vigorously, as if he wanted to completely drive away those unpleasant memories from his mind, and then said: "Forget it, forget it, I don't want to mention that matter anymore."

"In short, as long as the demons we encounter in the future are reasonable and humane, and will never do anything to hurt you, then why should I kill them?"

After the words fell, Shao Yun's tone suddenly became gentle, and he continued in a soft voice: "Deep in my heart, I also very much want to complete this journey peacefully and harmoniously!"

"However, if someone really forces me to shoot, I will shoot without hesitation, no matter who that person is, I will not hesitate at all!"

God created all living things, and Colt brings equality to all living things!

Kong looked at the two people in front of him and said, "Ying, Shao Yun, in short, I have completely understood your situation."

Then, Sora turned his gaze to Ying and continued earnestly, "Regarding Dyne, it is undeniable that what he said does have some rationality."

"However, it must be made clear that Dain is not Shao Yun. He cannot have the deep feelings that Shao Yun has for you."

Kong paused, recalled what Yuanshang had reported to him about the two of them during this period, and said with emotion.

"The person who cares about you the most in the whole world is, without a doubt, Shao Yun. No one can compare to him now, including me."

"Sister, you have to know that not everyone has such a resolute awareness and strong strength to carry out revenge! However, Shao Yun succeeded in doing this!"

Ying was still feeling frightened at this time.

"But, Dain..."

Hearing this, Kong felt an uncontrollable rage surge in his heart, and he developed an unprecedented hatred towards Dainsleb.

It was all because of Dainsleb's words that destroyed the relationship between his sister and brother-in-law!

If he hadn't known that he was not as strong as the other party, he would have gone to find Dai Yin to settle the score long ago.

Kong looked at Ying seriously and gave his advice earnestly.

"Well, sister, if you can listen to Dain, then you should also listen to my advice and don't take the Seven Gods too seriously."

"If the demons can be friends, then we can get along well; if we really can't get along, then at worst we can just be strangers;"

“But if those demon gods are determined to go against you, then learn from Shao Yun and don’t be polite! Teyvat will continue to operate as usual without any god!”

My brother's persuasion really worked.

Hearing Kong's words, Ying couldn't help but recall what Shao Yun said to her that day.

She thought to herself that if the same situation happened to her, perhaps she would take similar actions.

Thinking of this, the confusion that had been lingering in Ying's mind finally disappeared.

She nodded gently and said with emotion: "Well, I understand. I was indeed too stubborn before."

Seeing that his sister's knot had been resolved, Kong was overjoyed. He smiled and teased, "Look, isn't it all settled? Tell me, why did you have to quarrel with Shao Yun? And you even ran out to relax alone..."

Hearing this, Ying curled her lips, turned her head to the side, and retorted with a bit of stubbornness: "Humph! I didn't quarrel with Shao Yun! Besides, I'm not alone, I'm with Paimeng!"

However, her slightly red cheeks betrayed her true emotions.

……

After Kong chatted with Ying for a while, he finally stood up and said goodbye to Ying in a very casual manner.

"Then I'll go first. After all, the longer I spend with you, Ying, the more I don't want to leave."

Ying looked at Kong as he was about to leave again, her eyes full of concern, and asked softly, "So, brother, when will we meet again?"

Kong couldn't help but look helpless and sighed softly, but still responded with a smile: "That's hard to say. But at the end of the journey, we will definitely meet."

After saying that, Kong waved gently to Ying, then turned around and walked out of the box with a smile.

At this moment, Shao Yun's eyes fell on Ying's beautiful profile and asked, "So, can we... be considered to have reconciled?"

Ying reached out and gently smoothed the hair beside her ear, turned around, looked at Shao Yun and replied: "We are not quarreling at all, okay? I just went out to relax."

Shao Yun raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, and said slowly: "Well, I understand."

Then, Ying seemed to remember something and spoke solemnly.

"Oh, Shao Yun, although I think what my brother said makes sense, deep down in my heart, I still hope that in the future... you know..."

Shao Yun understood what Ying meant and didn't want to repeat the Inazuma incident in other countries.

"I still say the same thing. As long as the gods we meet next time are not like Thor who doesn't understand human language, I don't want to make you angry by doing meaningless killings."

The corners of Ying's mouth twitched slightly, and she said helplessly: "I'll take this as your agreement."

Shao Yun responded calmly: "Well, I guess so."

……

Originally, the two of them wanted to eat something, but unfortunately, all the food on the table had already gone into Paimeng's stomach, leaving nothing for the two of them.

Ying looked at Paimeng with a dark face, who was lying on the cushion and patting his round belly contentedly, and felt helpless.

She really couldn't understand why Paimon was such a big eater. She didn't even starve her during her adventures on Qinglai Island these days.

Shao Yun coughed twice, then spoke to Ying.

"Ying, after you and Paimon have finished exploring Heguan Island, if there is nothing else, we will leave Inazuma and return to Liyue to prepare to go to Xumi, how about that?"

Ying finally came back to her senses and responded, "Okay."

……

Outside Wuyou Pavilion, Yuanshang was as anxious as an ant on hot pan.

He stared at the door of Wu Youting, but did not dare to go in.

Finally, when Kong came out, Yuanshang limped over to greet His Royal Highness the Prince.

Funagami leaned close to Sora's ear and whispered, "Your Highness, you are finally out! The cult just received an urgent message that Dain arrived at Inazuma through our node in the Abyss!"

Hearing this news, Kong was slightly stunned at first, but soon he regained his composure and said decisively: "Okay, let's leave quickly!"

After saying that, Kong turned around and prepared to take Yuan Shang away to a secluded place to open the abyss portal.

However, at this moment, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at Wu Youting deeply.

There was endless expectation in her eyes, and she whispered softly: "I really hope you can lend me a hand, brother-in-law..."

……
