Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Shao Yun put the deck of cards in order and returned to where everyone was resting.

I saw Yingzheng and Paimon sitting by a warm campfire. Of course, Paimon was floating the whole time.

When Ying found Shao Yun coming back, she smiled and gently patted the empty seat beside her, saying softly: "Shao Yun, come over here quickly."

Shao Yun walked to Ying's side and slowly sat down. His eyes first fell on the two girls in front of him, and then he asked, "I wonder if the stew I just made is to your taste?"

At this time, Paimon stretched out his little hand and rubbed his belly, which was round like a little ball, with an expression of satisfaction and happiness on his face.

"Your stew is really delicious! And the violet melon that Ninja made is also delicious!"

Shao Yun smiled and nodded after hearing this. Then he turned his head and glanced at Aratake Ichito and Kuki Shinobu who were sitting on the ground not far away.

Then Shao Yun turned around and looked intently at Ying in front of him. He seemed a little hesitant, but finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Um... Ying, actually I have a question that I have been hiding in my heart for a long time and want to ask you."

Ying was slightly startled, blinking her bright yellow eyes, and curiously asked, "What kind of question is it?"

Shao Yun bit his lip, hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to speak out.

"That is...when we hugged each other for the first time and kissed each other for the first time, what on earth made you do such intimate actions at that time?"

As soon as the words fell, Ying, who had originally had a calm expression, was stunned for a moment, and then a shy blush quickly crept up her cheeks.

She lowered her head, fiddling with the corners of her clothes with her hands, and said coquettishly, "Oh, why did you bring this up all of a sudden? Thinking back on it now, it really makes me feel embarrassed!"

When Shao Yun heard this, he asked eagerly, "Wow? Really? If that's the case, then I have to ask more carefully!"

Ying really couldn't resist Shao Yun's determination to get to the bottom of the matter, so she could only shake her head helplessly. After thinking for a moment, she slowly began to explain the reason.

"Okay, let me recall it carefully. Um... our first hug was the night we successfully stole the Sky Harp."

"To be honest, even now when I think back on it, I still can't put into words how I felt that night."

"The situation at that time was very strange. I had thousands of words in my heart that I wanted to say to you, but I found that no matter how I expressed it, I couldn't accurately convey the touch and feeling brought by your words to me at that time."

"So, I couldn't help but come forward and hug you. And then..."

Having said this, Ying's voice suddenly paused.

She thought of that embarrassing thing, her pretty face turned red, and she subconsciously covered her cheeks with her hands, and continued vaguely: "As for our first kiss... uh... it was because..."

"Well, I just thought you were handsome, so that's fine! I felt like you weren't paying attention for some reason, so I took advantage of you!"

Seeing this, Shao Yun raised the corners of his mouth slightly, whistled softly, and then asked in a slightly teasing tone: "There are too many handsome men in this world to count, so let me ask it in a different way."

"Even if you think I'm pretty, why would you fall in love with me without hesitation when you knew I was a desperado?"

Although Shao Yun didn't want to admit it, he really had no other understanding of himself now...

Seeing Shao Yun pressing on step by step, with a determined look on his face that showed he would not give up until he achieved his goal, Ying couldn't help feeling a little flustered.

She quickly racked her brains and found a way to change the subject.

"Oh, please stop asking, okay? If you keep going like this, you're going to corrupt Paimon!"

Shao Yun glanced around and saw that Paimeng had quietly floated to Huang Long Yidou's side without him noticing.

He couldn't help but smile, then turned to look at Ying and said teasingly, "Look at how sensible Paimon is. He left early. You should stop using Paimon as an excuse to cover up."

At this moment, Ying finally came to her senses, staring at Paimeng who had drifted far away with wide eyes, and complained angrily, "Humph, really! Now that I need you to be a light bulb, you hide away so quickly!"

Seeing this, Shao Yun reached out and gently pinched her pink cheek, and asked softly, "Dear, tell me obediently, okay?"

Being pinched by Shao Yun, Ying glanced at Shao Yun shyly.

At this moment, a great idea came to her mind.

……

Ying raised her chin with a smug look on her face, and asked coquettishly, "Well, since you insist on knowing, I want to ask you, why do you like me?"

"There are so many girls prettier than me in this world! Not to mention those far away, Inazuma's Ayaka, I don't know if it's true or not, but...what do you think?"

Shao Yun never expected that Ying would actually throw this difficult problem back to him. He secretly sighed in his heart that Ying learned so quickly.

After thinking for a moment, Shao Yun looked into Ying's eyes and answered solemnly: "In my eyes, no one in this world can compare to your charm."

"As for Ling Hua, she just wanted to use us to help her, but unfortunately she chose the wrong method. She should have taken Mora's!"

"But, I remember that this matter has been put behind us. I saw you still playing with Ling Hua... trust me."

Ying raised her head slightly and responded to him with the words Shao Yun had said before.

"Then you have to believe me too. I like you for no other reason!"

When Shao Yun heard this, he was stunned at first, and then he said jokingly: "Well, thank you for spending your precious time on a desperate outlaw like me who is in danger of losing his life every day."

However, Ying didn't buy it. She frowned, pretending to be dissatisfied, and said coquettishly: "Satisfied? If you are satisfied, then go to bed obediently!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, signaling Shao Yun to act quickly.

Seeing this, Shao Yun nodded helplessly and walked obediently to a corner close to the stone wall.

He sat down casually, with his back against the cold, hard stone wall, then slowly lowered his head, as if preparing to fall asleep.

But at this moment, an abrupt system notification sounded without any warning. A line of text popped up on the screen.

【Did you see what I just said? 】

Shao Yun was somewhat upset by this unexpected news.

He sneered in his heart and sneered at the so-called system with contempt: "Humph, what's wrong with you, a good-for-nothing waste? Just now the screen was full of garbled text, and now you can speak clearly?"

However, the system did not respond to Shao Yun's sarcasm. It just stubbornly repeated its question again.

【Have you seen that message? 】

Shao Yun rolled his eyes impatiently and answered unhappily in his heart.

"Yes, but it's all gibberish. I can only barely make out the words 'Barbatos' and 'now'. What on earth do you want to say?"

"And that demon said you're not a good guy. Didn't you reach a cooperation?"

The system fell into a brief contemplation, and after a long while it slowly gave an answer to Shao Yun's question.

【Cooperation does not mean that we are equal. In fact, it is more powerful than we can imagine. I am afraid that no one except God can compete with it. 】

[And in my opinion, if it wants, it is even fully capable of becoming a God-like existence in this world! ]

[Although it says it is accounting, you still have to be careful when dealing with it. ]

Shao Yun stared closely at the words that popped up on the screen by this so-called system. Instead of feeling the slightest bit of fear in his heart, he was filled with disgust towards this piece of trash.

"Humph! I really think you are not even as good as the talking mushroom in the fluorescent tunnel! You are simply a useless waste, a complete waste!"

"Every time they just told me to stay away from it, but they never gave me any real help!"

Shao Yun became more and more angry as he spoke, and his chest heaved violently with anger.

Then he took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and asked a key question that had been buried deep in his heart for a long time and he had always wanted to figure out.

"At this point, I no longer have any hope of completely destroying that demon. I just want to ask you one thing! Who am I?"

"The night I met the devil, you were vague and perfunctory. Now, I must get a definite answer!"

Shao Yun stared with wide eyes at the useless system in front of him.

Facing Shao Yun's fierce gaze and questioning, the system responded with a hint of guilt.

[I’m really sorry, about this point… I really don’t know. ]

Hearing such an answer, a look of despair instantly appeared on Shao Yun's face, and he questioned in disbelief.

"What? You said you didn't know? How is that possible? Did you, a piece of shit, also lose some of your memories like me?"

The system answered truthfully.

【Yes. 】

Seeing these two simple words displayed on the screen, Shao Yun was stunned. He subconsciously asked, "What?"

Sensing Shao Yun's confusion and anxiety, the system immediately began to explain in further detail.

[After you met that demon, not only you, but I was also seriously affected. I want to tell you, but the current situation is like this, and I can't give you an answer. ]

[If you really want to know about the "past", I think Barbatos might know something. I'm very sorry that I am a good-for-nothing in your words.]

[But please believe me, I am on your side no matter what, the devil will never be your friend! ]

Looking at the system's sincere yet helpless words, Shao Yun cursed in a low voice with a look of death: "Waste! You are of no use at the critical moment!"

At this moment, the system seemed eager to make up for its own mistakes and gave corresponding compensation measures.

A new message popped up.

[You have been issued an automatic shotgun. ]

Almost at the same time, another piece of news came.

[As compensation, I can’t explain how you and Ying fell in love, but do you want to know something you don’t know? ]

Shao Yun glanced coldly at the two messages that popped up in front of him, with a sarcastic sneer on his face.

"You're really good at changing the subject. You easily shifted the focus from the previous question to here."

But Shao Yun was still curious about the second message.

"That demon said that I was because I needed Ying to maintain 'my' stability. What explanation do you have? Don't tell me it's because of you!"
