Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

After the meal, Ye Lan put down her bowl and chopsticks and her eyes fell on the remaining soup in the bowl.

She was really tired of Shao Yun's monotonous stew.

So, she put down her bowl and chopsticks, gently pressed her abdomen, stood up from the stool, and said to Shao Yun: "I'm going to find a wok and explore the surroundings. You set up the tent. You should be on duty in the first half of the night tonight."

Shao Yun took the bowl and chopsticks that Ye Lan had used, nodded, and responded: "Yes, today is the tenth day. According to our agreement, I will guard the first half of the night, and you can go and do your own thing."

……

After Ye Lan left, Shao Yun began to set up the tent.

However, just as he took out the tent, a strange noise suddenly came.

Shao Yun turned around vigilantly, but was surprised to find that a portal to the abyss quietly appeared behind her.

Then, a figure slowly walked out of the portal - it was Yuanshang, who had now transformed into the inhuman form of "Abyss Singer - Abyss Fire".

The moment their eyes met, Yuan Shang showed shock on his face and blurted out, "Your Highness's blood relative and lover! How did you end up in the Layered Rock Abyss?"

Shao Yun calmly examined Yuan Shang's current appearance and asked curiously, "Yuan Shang! Why do you look so weird?"

Yuan Shang’s appearance is indeed... No wonder Ying beat him up mercilessly before.

Yuanshang looked at Shao Yun blankly, then looked down at the magic weapon in his hand, and then looked at the ring-shaped object behind him.

"Ah? This is my true form, is there something wrong?"

Shao Yun crossed his arms over his chest and said expressionlessly: "You'd better change back to human form. I can easily shoot you twice if you look like this."

When Yuan Shang heard Shao Yun's evaluation of his original body, a trace of disappointment appeared on his face, but he quickly recovered and responded in a calm tone: "Ah? Oh... okay."

Then, Abyss Singer's form changed back to human form.

"This looks much better. What are you doing here?" Shao Yun nodded in approval.

Yuan Shang sighed softly, then cheered up again and said excitedly: "As Your Highness said, you really came to help us."

Shao Yun looked at Yuan Shang talking to himself and couldn't help feeling confused. He asked, "What are you talking about?"

Yuanshang walked towards Shao Yun with a smile on his face and tried to hold his hand.

"Let's go see His Royal Highness the Prince first. He will be very happy to see you!"

Shao Yun took a step back and avoided the hand that Yuan Shang extended.

Just as Shao Yun was curious about why Yuan Shang suddenly appeared at this time, he suddenly remembered the reason and said with sudden enlightenment: "I understand, you are going to do something big here!"

"But I didn't promise 'Sora' to come and help you. I'm only here because I accepted a commission."

Shouldn't this Requiem at the Echoing Abyss be triggered by Ying, Paimon, and Dainsleif?

Besides, Yuan Shang, why are you here too? Shouldn't the "Riptide" who was killed by me and then resurrected be in charge of this place?

After listening to Shao Yun's explanation, Yuan Shang showed a look of embarrassment on his face.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "But..."

However, Shao Yun waved his hand and firmly rejected him.

"No buts, I'm busy right now. If you see Kong, please say hello to him for me."

Yuan Shang scratched his head, and suddenly he seemed to understand why Shao Yun was unwilling to go with him to meet His Royal Highness the Prince. It must be because he was really busy now.

In this case, why don't I call His Royal Highness the Prince over? This way, Shao Yun won't be disturbed and His Royal Highness the Prince will be happy.

"Then let me go and call His Royal Highness the Prince over. He will be very happy to hear that you are here!" After saying this, Yuan Shang immediately turned around and quickly left the camp.

Shao Yun looked at Yuanshang's back and felt a little confused.

He didn't understand why Yuanshang didn't use the portal to leave directly, but chose to walk.

……

When Yuanshang left, he did not open the portal to the abyss, but when he came back again, Yuanshang came out with the portal opened.

He excitedly said to the portal behind him: "Your Highness, I am not lying, he is really here!"

Shao Yun stood in front of the abyss portal, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and ridicule.

When he saw his elder brother-in-law "Kong" slowly walking out of the portal of the abyss, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"This is already the third time we've met. How can this be considered a farewell? Why don't you just come back and live with us if you have nothing else to do?"

But Shao Yun still greeted Kong with a smile: "Hello, brother-in-law, we meet again."

Kong was originally skeptical about what Yuan Shang said about Shao Yun appearing in the Layered Rock Abyss. After all, Shao Yun had clearly stated that he would not help him.

However, when he saw Shao Yunzhen appear here with his own eyes, Kong's mood became a little complicated.

He looked at Shao Yun and asked with a hint of doubt in his tone: “Oh, brother-in-law, I didn’t expect you to be here… Is my sister here?”

Kong really didn't know how to start, so he had to ask about his sister's situation first.

When Shao Yun heard Kong asking about Ying's current situation, he scratched his cheek lightly, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.

He explained somewhat embarrassedly: "Ying, I don't know where she is now. I came to the Layered Abyss because I accepted a commission.

"I'd like to state in advance that Ying knows about this and has agreed to it."

When Kong heard that his sister didn't show up, he showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, then smiled and said: "Oh, I thought..."

"Do you want to see the plan that I personally lead the Abyss Cult to carry out?"

When Shao Yun heard this, he realized that it was a plan arranged by Kong himself. No wonder Yuan Shang appeared here.

He stared blankly at Sora and stammered, "I..."

Kong Jian Shao Yun seemed to want to refuse, and hurriedly explained: "There is no harm in going to take a look... We are family... You know. It's not a bad thing to come and take a look."

After hearing Kong's words, Shao Yun was slightly stunned and began to wonder about Kong's true intentions.

Is this just a simple invitation? Or is there some hidden purpose behind it?

However, no matter what, Shao Yun couldn't have any opinion about Kong.

After all, he is Ying's brother...

Thinking of this, Shao Yun pursed his lips and nodded slightly to show his agreement.

"Okay, I can go and take a look, but you know, my employer, you know, I need to be on duty in the first half of the night, but you know, the Layered Rock Abyss is not safe, in case of any noise..." Shao Yun said hesitantly.

"With her skills, she shouldn't be hurt, but I can't explain why I left so suddenly."

Shao Yun told about his current situation. After all, his main task now was to fulfill Ye Lan's entrustment.

After listening to this, Kong smiled with relief and said comfortingly, "This is not a difficult problem to solve."

Then, he turned his head to look at Yuan Shang beside him, stretched out his hand, and said calmly: "Yuan Shang, please hand me the 'soul-soothing incense' that can make people fall asleep peacefully."

Yuanshang hurriedly fumbled around his body, and soon he pulled out a stick of incense with a peculiar fragrance from his arms and carefully handed it to Kong.

Kong took the incense from Yuan Shang and explained to Shao Yun with a smile: "This is a special incense of Xumi, which can calm the mind."

“Just light it and let people smell the burning scent, and they will be able to relax and fall into a peaceful sleep.”

As he spoke, Kong handed the incense in his hand to Shao Yun.

This incense was bought by Kong when Ying was injured and Yuanshang was asked to buy tonic. It was originally intended to be given to Shao Yun, but Yuanshang forgot to give it to Shao Yun.

Shao Yun took the incense and stared at it, but many past memories involuntarily emerged in his mind.

He remembered the Liyue martial arts novels he had read when he was in Inazuma. Those evil people with ulterior motives often used similar items to make people lose consciousness, and then took the opportunity to kill and rob them.

He also remembered the Xumi scholar he met in Huachengguo. Her name seemed to be Haibasha. She entered a meditative state with the help of the fragrance of the incense burner...

Shao Yun held the incense in his hand and asked uncertainly, "Can I understand it as the kind of drug in Liyue martial arts novels?"

Kong nodded first, then shook his head and patiently explained: "Your understanding is correct, but it should be noted that it will only work on people who are in a deep sleep.

"After all, novels are just novels, and there is still a certain gap between them and reality."

After listening to Kong's words, Shao Yun nodded thoughtfully, then carefully put the incense into the Eastern Legend backpack.

"Okay, come find me after my employer falls asleep and take me to see the so-called Kanria Restoration Plan."

Seeing Shao Yun agree so readily, Kong smiled, which was rare for him, and said gently, "Okay, then Yuan Shang and I will go back first. See you later."

Shao Yun watched Kong and Yuan Shang turn around and prepare to leave, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly shouted: "Wait, don't leave in such a hurry!"

Kong heard Shao Yun's call, stopped, turned around, and asked in confusion: "Is there anything else?"

Shao Yun pointed at the tent in front of him which had not yet been completed.

"That's great. Let me take this opportunity to teach you how to set up a tent."

Kong suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. He looked at Shao Yun in disbelief that his brother-in-law actually offered to teach him how to set up a tent.

"What? Set up a tent!" Kong widened his eyes and repeated Shao Yun's words.

He didn't know how to respond for a moment, and Yuan Shang beside him was also confused.

Shao Yun nodded as a matter of course, and then explained to Kong: "Yes, Ying did. It tells about the interesting things that happened when you and your sister traveled together in the past."

"When you were resting in the wild, you just slept on the picnic blanket and didn't even know how to set up a tent! I promised her that if I had the chance, I would teach you and your sister how to set up a tent. Now is the best time!"

Hearing this, Kong couldn't help but smile bitterly. He never thought that his sister would tell Shao Yun about these embarrassing past events.

"Haha...she actually told you this?"

Sora smiled bitterly and shook his head, but quickly regained his composure.

"Okay, brother-in-law, then please teach me."

……

So, Shao Yun began to patiently teach Kong how to build a tent.

He explains every step and precaution in detail, even including tips on choosing the right spot to set up camp in the wild.

Kong listened to most of Shao Yun's words, while Yuan Shang wrote them down word for word.

After all, as a civilian staff member of the Abyss Cult, it is normal for Yuanshang to have a super memory.

Then, under Shao Yun's guidance, Kong built the tent himself and successfully.

Kong looked at the tent he had built with his own hands and clapped his hands in satisfaction.

"I learned it, thank you very much."

Shao Yun smiled and nodded, his eyes revealing a hint of deep meaning, and slowly said: "Remember these skills well, they will be helpful to you and Ying in the future."

Before Kong could realize the possible hidden meaning behind these words.

Yuan Shang's expression suddenly became tense. He lowered his voice and said in a serious tone: "Your Highness, someone is coming!"

The three of them immediately held their breath and vaguely heard the sound of high heels stepping on the ground.

Shao Yun explained softly: "It should be the employer who has returned. You should hide for the time being. We will talk after she falls asleep completely."
