Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

At six o'clock in the evening, Qun Yu Pavilion, Shao Yun, Ying, Paimeng and Shen He arrived as scheduled.

As night falls, the Qun Yu Pavilion is like a bright pearl inlaid in the dark sky. It is brightly lit, illuminating the surrounding night as if it were daytime.

An elaborately designed stage stands in the middle of it, with colorful lanterns hanging on it, which are gorgeous and dazzling.

In front of the stage, several tables were neatly arranged. Although the banquet was not large in scale, every detail showed Ningguang's care and taste.

The exquisite porcelain tableware on the plates added a touch of elegance and luxury to the banquet.

The tables and chairs are also unique. They are made of fine precious wood with clearly visible grain, solid and durable texture, and exude a light wood fragrance.

Paimon shouted excitedly: "Wow, what a luxurious banquet!"

Just as Paimon was observing the banquet scene curiously, Ningguang's voice was heard.

"How is it? Although this banquet is not a formal occasion, we still put some thought into it, such as new clothes for Yuhengxing and me."

Ningguang, wearing a gorgeous dress called "Orchid in the Gauze", slowly walked into the sight of the four people.

The dress is mainly in elegant blue and purple tones, and the delicate silk and exquisite embroidery show its noble quality.

As she walked gracefully, the veil danced in the wind, like a blooming orchid, exuding a charming fragrance.

Keqing's voice also came over.

"Ying, Paimeng, Shao Yun and Shen He are here, welcome!"

Keqing walked over wearing a gorgeous dress called "霓裾翩跹".

The dark black theme of the skirt's gauze material makes the temperament more calm and elegant, revealing a low-key and luxurious atmosphere.

Of course, the iconic cat ears hairstyle is still retained, adding a touch of playfulness and cuteness to her.

Paimon looked at the two and said in surprise: "Wow, Ningguang, Keqing, you are wearing new clothes!"

Compared to Keqing who was still serious, Ningguang was more bold and showed off her beautiful figure in front of Ying and Paimon. She smiled and asked, "Yes, how is it?"

Ying thought Ningguang was showing off her new clothes, so she clapped and praised, "Very beautiful!"

Shao Yun couldn't help feeling a little surprised and out of place when he saw the clothes that were originally part of the limited-time event of the Lantern Festival appearing here.

He wondered, was this specially arranged by Ningguang? Or was there some special meaning behind this?

Just as he was daydreaming, Shao Yun noticed that Ying beside him was still wearing her old dress.

He couldn't help but mutter, "I should ask you to change into the clothes I bought for you."

Hearing this, Ying turned her head and glanced at Shao Yun, her eyes revealing a disdainful expression. She said softly: "Where does your unreasonable desire to compare with others come from? We are here to attend the banquet, not to participate in the beauty pageant."

After saying that, she turned her head back and continued talking to others.

Shao Yun shrugged helplessly and said, "Okay, blame me for being too talkative."

After chatting for a while, Ying looked at Keqing and asked about her physical condition with concern.

"By the way, Keqing, how are you? I heard Shao Yun tell me about what happened yesterday. Are you feeling well?"

Keqing smiled and replied, "Thank you for your concern. I'm feeling much better now after taking the medicine that Doctor Baizhu prescribed for me."

Ningguang, who was standing by, also expressed her concern and reminded Keqing to get enough rest.

"But I remember that Doctor Baizhu hopes you can have a good rest. You should also take a proper vacation."

Keqing shook her hair heroically and said, "We'll talk about it in the future. There's no time to rest now."

Then, Keqing said to Shao Yun and others: "Next, please look forward to the performance at the banquet."

……

On the other hand, Xin Yan, who was invited to the banquet, felt that two eyes were not enough.

It was her first time to climb the Jade Pavilion, and she was full of curiosity and yearning for everything here.

Looking at the luxurious decoration around him, Xin Yan couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Wow, is this the Qun Yu Pavilion? It's so shocking!"

At this moment, Yun Jin, who was far away, saw Xin Yan coming, waved to her with a smile, and shouted, "Xin Yan, you're here, this way."

When Xin Yan heard Yun Jin's voice, he immediately waved his hands excitedly, then ran to her and said excitedly: "Yun Jin! Is this the Qun Yu Pavilion? This place is so luxurious!"

Yun Jin smiled gently, pulled out the chair beside her, motioned Xin Yan to sit down, and said, "Don't get excited yet. This is your seat. I've already arranged it for you."

Only then did Xin Yan realize that his seat was in the center and closest to the stage, and he was suddenly moved.

She hugged Yun Jin excitedly again, rubbed her face against Yun Jin's, and said coquettishly: "Yun Jin, you are so kind! Thank you for arranging such a good seat for me."

Yun Jin was held tightly in Xin Yan's arms. She advised him a little embarrassedly, "Xin Yan, don't be so enthusiastic! We are all good friends."

……

On the eve of Yunjin's going on stage, Ningguang clapped her hands first, attracting everyone's attention.

While everyone's attention was focused on her, Ningguang gave an opening speech.

Most of them were polite remarks, saying that the crisis was overcome through the concerted efforts of all Liyue people.

However, for Shao Yun, these polite words were like wind on his ears, and his mind had already drifted to the information about Xumi. Because this is what Paimeng wants...

With Yun Jin’s appearance on stage, the plot of “The Goddess Splits the Temple” remains the same as the drama, without any changes.

Yun Jin perfectly portrayed the bravery and tenacity of the little girl in the story.

And at the end, Yunjin came up with a plot that was modified based on what Shenhe wanted to become.

Shen He's eyes followed Yun Jin's figure closely, and he couldn't help but feel infinite yearning in his heart.

"I wish my life could be like the story in the play."

After the performance, there was thunderous applause.

Xin Yan in the audience could not hide his excitement and stood up to celebrate by imitating the posture of playing the guitar.

Seeing this, Yun Jin also responded with the same action on the stage.

After Yun Jin's performance, she walked off the stage and sat next to Xin Yan. She asked with a hint of anticipation, "How was my performance?"

After Xin Yan heard this, his eyes sparkled with excitement. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Very good. Yun Jin, you performed very well!"

Shao Yun and others sitting around them also echoed and praised Yun Jin's excellent performance.

Amidst everyone's conversation, Shao Yun discovered that Ningguang was missing.

Shao Yun looked at Keqing who was sitting beside him. He asked softly, "Ms. Keqing, do you know where Ningguang is now?"

Keqing came back to her senses, pointed her finger at the door of the Jade Pavilion, and replied, "I just saw Lady Ningguang enter the Jade Pavilion. Do you have anything to do with her?"

Shao Yun nodded and explained: "She promised us something before, and now I need her to fulfill her promise."

Then, he turned to Ying beside him and whispered softly, "I'm going to go get Ningguang for the information we need. I'll be back in a while."

After saying that, Shao Yun stood up from his seat and went to the Qun Yu Pavilion to find Ning Guang and ask her to fulfill her promise.

……

Shao Yun walked into the Qun Yu Pavilion and his eyes fell on Ningguang in front of him.

He saw that she had her back to him, as if she had been waiting for his arrival.

When Ningguang heard the sound of the door being opened, she turned slightly and cast her eyes towards Shao Yun. A faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said softly, "You came to see me right after the show... Are you attracted by the aura created by my new clothes?"

As she spoke, she turned around and gracefully opened her arms slightly, showing off her graceful body tightly wrapped in the dress called "Orchid in the Gauze", while also revealing the lines of her slender and white thighs.

However, Shao Yun just looked at Ningguang coldly, stretched out his hand expressionlessly, and uttered two words concisely.

"intelligence."

Seeing that Shao Yun was indifferent to her charm, Ningguang tactfully stopped showing off, reached out and picked up a thick file bag from the shelf beside her, handed it to Shao Yun, and said.

"Got it. Here, this is the information about Xumi summarized by Bai Shi."

Shao Yun took the thick file bag and couldn't help wondering, "How much is in such a thick file bag?"

Ningguang stroked her hair gently and replied lazily, "This is already a streamlined version. The original files filled up half the room. My secretary Bai Shi was almost exhausted this month."

Shao Yun stuffed the file bag into the Eastern Legend backpack and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work as a secretary. I will give it to Ying and Paimeng."

Ningguang suddenly asked, "By the way, are you sure you want to go to Xumi?"

Shao Yun looked at her, nodded, and then asked in confusion: "Yes, we are planning to go to Xumi, what's wrong?"

Ningguang frowned, and after thinking for a moment, she felt that she should tell them something, so she said, "Let me tell you something first."

"According to the intelligence we have obtained, a few months ago, for unknown reasons, a disease unique to Xumi, the 'Demon Scale Disease', seemed to be getting worse."

"The number of people infected is gradually increasing. Although the growth rate is not very fast, it is indeed increasing."

Ningguang said seriously, "So I suggest you consider changing your route. For example, go to Chenyu Valley first, then take the water route to Fontainebleau. When the situation in Xumi gets better, it won't be too late to go to Xumi again."

After listening to this, Shao Yun shrugged indifferently, and then said: "It depends on what Ying and Paimeng think. After all, the final decision is in their hands. However, is the situation of the magic scale disease in Xumi really that serious?"

Ningguang thought about it and answered truthfully: "It's not that serious, but for your safety, I still want to remind you."

"After all, we are all in the same boat now. If something happens to you because of this incident, it will be difficult for me to deal with those immortals alone."

Shao Yun stared at Ning Guang, his eyes flashing with a deep light, and said slowly: "You finally admitted your plan."

Ningguang wanted to show her hand, and she admitted without any reservation: "Yes, I'm sorry, I thought 10 billion could win you over to the same front, but now it seems that Ningguang was too naive."

As she spoke, Ningguang slightly spread her arms, closed her eyes tenderly, and prepared to face any possible consequences. She said softly, "If you want to throw me off the Jade Pavilion, then come on."

Shao Yun carefully studied Ning Guang's expression, a sneer appeared on his lips, and he said, "Humph, you have already paid off your offense against me with 10 billion Mora."

"But you have to understand one thing. I don't want to get involved in Liyue's affairs. I don't care how you make trouble. I just hope that Liyue's troubles will not affect us."

Ningguang heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this.

She knew Shao Yun didn't care, so she opened her eyes, with a faint smile on her face, and responded: "Don't worry, I definitely won't."

Seeing that he had obtained the most important information, Shao Yun felt that there was no need to say anything more to Ningguang, so he turned and left, leaving behind a few words.

"Thank you for the information. I'm leaving now."

Just as Shao Yun turned around and prepared to leave the Qun Yu Pavilion and walked towards the gate, Ningguang suddenly called him.

She whispered, “Wait a minute, Shao Yun, I am willing to pay 100 million Mora just to say a word to you.”

Shao Yun stopped, turned around, looked at Ningguang in confusion, and said jokingly: "One hundred million Mora, in one sentence. Do you have a lot of money?"

Ningguang smiled slightly. She placed her right hand gently on her neck and then slowly slid it down. Her voice was soft and seductive.

"I know you have deep feelings for Ying, and I don't want to make you angry."

"But as a shrewd businessman, I want to tell you something from my heart. If one day, a situation arises that you don't want to face, my boudoir will always be open to you."

After hearing these words, Shao Yun's eyes narrowed slightly.

He briefly looked at Ningguang, then pulled out the Schofield revolver from his waist, pointed it at Ningguang's head without hesitation, and pulled the hammer.

"You are a little too presumptuous." Shao Yun said coldly: "You have crossed that line!"

Immediately afterwards, Shao Yun made Ningguang play a life and death game without any hesitation.

"Let's play a game. I'll give you a chance. Either you use one sentence to dispel my anger, and I'll pretend nothing happened."

"Or I'll shoot you in the head and hang your body on the stage outside."

Faced with the life and death game proposed by Shao Yun, Ningguang stood where she was, staring at Shao Yun's indifferent face and the cold muzzle of the gun.

She realized that she had touched the other party's bottom line and had gone a little too far.

At this moment, Ningguang slowly raised her hands, her brain worked rapidly, and she soon found the answer to the problem.

Shao Yun cares about Ying the most, so as long as he says something good for Ying, then everything will be easy.

Ningguang raised the corner of her mouth slightly, raised her eyebrows, and said in a relaxed tone: "If one day you are unfortunate enough to encounter an accident... then the Seven Stars of Liyue, no, the entire Liyue will become the strongest backing and safe haven for Ying and Paimon."

"I swear, anyone who breaks my promise will be punished by being eaten by rocks." Ningguang's tone was very serious when she swore.

After listening to Ningguang's oath, Shao Yun moved the gun away from Ningguang's head, gently pressed the hammer with his fingers, slowly pushed it back to its original position, and put the gun back into the holster.

"I doubt the truth of your words, but you are lucky that you won; but you said more than one sentence, so, one billion Mora, the old rules, in the name of Ying."

Ningguang saw that the crisis had been resolved, so she walked down the stairs and said, "I wish you and Ying happiness. It seems like you two are made for each other."

Shao Yun added: "On the road to a better world, we also need Paimeng."

Ningguang was stunned for a moment after hearing Shao Yun's additional words. She didn't expect that there was such a little guy.

She subconsciously thought that Shao Yun was against Paimeng...but then she thought again, this was impossible.

No matter what she thought, Ningguang immediately changed her words and said, "Oh, I wish you, Ying, and Paimeng happiness."

After listening to this, Shao Yun did not answer, but just scratched his neck with his finger to threaten Ningguang.

Then, while the door was open, Shao Yun whispered in a voice that only he could hear: "For this, I can now cooperate with the devil."

Then he pushed open the door of the Qun Yu Pavilion and walked out.
