Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

After reading the letter that Alice left for him, Shao Yun thought to himself, is this the extra reward that Alice mentioned that would make me feel satisfied?

However, Xumi’s board and lodging expenses were waived, which was not bad at all. Overall, I was quite satisfied.

Shao Yun whispered to Dolly, who was some distance away, "Wait a moment."

Dolly's petite body trembled suddenly, and she turned around quickly with a nervous look on her face, and stammered, "Excuse me...is there anything else?"

Shao Yun handed the letter that Alice had given him to Dolly without saying anything, and said briefly and forcefully: "Take a look at this letter first."

Dolly carefully reached out and took the letter from Alice, muttering softly: "Okay, you asked me to read it, let me see what it says..."

However, before she finished her words, her eyes fell on the words on the letter paper.

Alice asked Shao Yun to make full use of all kinds of torture instruments! In an instant, Dolly was frightened and let out a shrill scream.

"what!"

Fortunately, Dolly was a businessman who had experienced many ups and downs, and she quickly realized that she had lost her composure, so she held it back.

She knew the rules here very well, and some things should never be made public.

Then, Dolly calmed herself down, suppressed her inner fear and continued to read the contents of the letter.

But as her eyes continued to move downward, the words she saw next completely broke her last psychological defense, and she could no longer remain calm.

All I heard was her screaming out in disbelief again.

"You actually want me to be responsible for providing you with free and high-quality food and accommodation! Are you kidding, Ms. Alice?"

Shao Yun looked at Dolly, who was about to bleed profusely, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. He said, "Haha, that's it! Then, please arrange a place for us."

At this moment, Dolly was looking at Alice's letter with a troubled look on her face. She couldn't believe that everything that was happening before her eyes was real.

So she hardened her heart and pinched her pink cheek hard. A sharp pain instantly came over her, making her realize that this was not an illusory dream!

After a fierce ideological struggle, Dolly reluctantly accepted this cruel reality.

She raised her head and looked at Shao Yun, and said with a slightly unwilling but helpless tone: "Ah... well, after all, Miss Alice is my most important supplier. Forget it, this time I'll just treat it as spending money to avoid disaster. I'll take care of all your food and accommodation!"

After saying this, Dolly turned around and walked quickly towards the main building of Casazale Palace. At the same time, she turned back and told Shao Yun: "Go back to the pavilion and wait for me for a while. I will come back to find you soon."

Shao Yun nodded, and then asked the waste system to keep the torture instruments that Alice sent him.

Then, he returned to the pavilion alone.

Not long after he sat down, a waitress brought a plate of delicious Xumi snacks and a pot of freshly brewed Xumi coffee to Shao Yun.

While waiting for Dolly, Shao Yun killed time by eating snacks and drinking coffee.

After tasting Xumi's coffee, Shao Yun thought that it was no wonder that Ye Lan said that the coffee brewed from his coffee powder was not as delicious as Xumi's.

Xumi’s coffee does have a special aroma.

Just when Shao Yun was about to finish his meal, Dolly came back with a letter that she had just written and her own seal on it.

"I'm back. Here, this is for you!" Dolly handed the letter to Shao Yun.

Shao Yun took the handwritten letter from Dolly and asked in confusion, "What is this?"

Dolly smiled and explained, "This is a letter of introduction. Just think about it, my Casazale Palace is located in a remote area, surrounded by uninhabited suburbs, and it is full of dangers."

"It's really inconvenient for you to live with me. So, I ask my business partner to help me provide you with food and lodging in Xumi City. Is that okay?"

Upon hearing this, Shao Yun couldn't help but make a joke.

"Oh, so you're just going to push all our troubles onto others so easily? You're really something! You have such a big palace, but you can't even give us a room?"

After hearing this, Dolly showed an awkward smile on her face, and quickly waved her hand to cover it up, saying, "Oh, don't just see my glorious side and not know the hardships I endure behind the scenes."

"My house was once invaded by the dead zone. If it weren't for those forest rangers and some other factors, you wouldn't be able to see the magnificent Casazale Palace today!"

"How do you describe it in Liyue? It's not a good way to treat guests."

Shao Yun had only mentioned it casually. Although the surrounding natural environment was indeed pleasant, there was no place to kill time around here.

Thinking about it, it’s not bad to live in Xumi City. There is food and entertainment. Now is not the time to live in seclusion.

Shao Yun thought about this and then asked, "Who did you push us to?"

Dolly showed a sly smile on her face and responded: "The person I am introducing to you is my business partner, named Shazaman."

"As long as you go to Xumi City and ask about Humayi's family, you can easily find him. When you meet Shazaman, you only need to pass this letter to him, and he will arrange accommodation and food for you!"

When Shao Yun first heard the words "Humayijia", he was stunned for a moment. The name sounded so familiar.

After a short pause, he quickly asked, "Is there a young lady in the Humayi family named 'Dina Zedai'?"

Upon hearing this, Dolly nodded and responded, "That's absolutely right! Could it be that you know the Humayi family?"

Shao Yun quickly waved his hands and hesitantly explained, "No, no, I just happened to hear it from someone else before."

Seeing Shao Yun's reaction, Duo Li did not continue to delve into the topic, but instead warned: "In short, Shazaman will definitely not treat you badly because of our long-term cooperation and because I'm the one paying for it. Please rest assured!"

After receiving the letter of introduction written by Dolly, Shao Yun made a joke half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"If he treats us badly, I will burn down your Casazzare Palace."

When Dolly heard this, the letter that Alice wrote to Shao Yun immediately came to her mind.

So she smiled wittily and responded in a smooth manner: "Haha, you really know how to joke."

Shao Yun responded meaningfully: "I hope so. I hope he treats us badly..."

So I can rob you...

……

When Shao Yun returned to Huacheng, night had already fallen.

Except for the area outside the city walls, the soft light of the moon was completely blocked by the dense treetops of the Sumeru Forest.

From time to time, bursts of clear and melodious chirping of insects can be heard between the leaves.

Those fireflies that flicker in the darkness are scattered in the rainforest, bringing liveliness and vitality to this quiet rainforest.

The air is filled with a strong earthy scent and the fresh smell of various plants.

After a while, Shao Yun returned to the tree house where he, Ying and Paimeng were resting.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Ying sitting on the bed doing nothing.

Seeing her beautiful eyes staring straight at him, Shao Yun smiled slightly and asked, "I'm back. How have you been while I was away?"

Ying sat on the bed, slightly tilting her head back, looking at Shao Yun who had just returned.

After a moment, she slowly retracted her gaze and replied softly, "Well... apart from chatting with Ke Lai today and drinking some extremely bitter medicine, there was nothing particularly new or interesting."

At this moment, Shao Yun's attention was suddenly attracted by something unexpected in the room.

There was a baby crib with Xumi characteristics in the corner! He pointed at the crib curiously and asked, "Wow, when did this baby crib appear? I remember it wasn't there when I left."

Ying watched as Shao Yun noticed the crib that suddenly appeared, and the corners of his mouth raised in a sly smile.

Then she turned to look at Paimeng, who was floating beside her with a depressed look on his face, and then shifted her gaze back to Shao Yun, signaling with her eyes: "What do you think?"

Shao Yun watched Ying's actions and saw that Paimeng's originally chubby face was now as droopy as a bitter gourd, with a look of despair in his eyes.

Shao Yun suddenly realized that this cute crib was specially prepared for Paimeng!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but tease.

"Haha, the two of us squeeze on the bed, and Paimon sleeps in the crib? Wow, in this way, we really look like a happy family of three!"

Hearing this, Paimeng was so sad that he wanted to cry, and he secretly complained in his heart, wondering how he could have turned into a baby for no apparent reason!

But what else could they do? After all, the bed in Tinari's room was too small to accommodate three people.

So, Paimeng could only accept the reality helplessly, but he still muttered unwillingly.

"Well... that's too abominable! I'm not a baby!"

Looking at Paimon's cute look of aggrieved and helpless, Ying couldn't help it anymore. She first covered her mouth and laughed secretly, and then finally laughed out loud.

"Hahaha……"

……

When it was time to go to bed, Paimon still looked as if he had lost all hope in life. He lay limply in the crib, having lost all interest in the world.

Shao Yun and Ying lay side by side on the bed, enjoying this rare moment of intimacy.

Normally, Ying and Paimeng always slept together, but today was different. Shao Yun finally had the opportunity to sleep in the same bed with Ying again, and his heart was filled with joy.

Before going to bed, Shao Yun excitedly told Ying about his meeting with Dolly that day, and told her how he had successfully solved the accommodation problem in Xumi City.

Ying took Duoli's letter of introduction and read it carefully, thinking that Shao Yun went out for this matter.

"Wow! The accommodation problem is solved just like that!"

Ying happily handed Dolly's letter of introduction back to Shao Yun, then gently hugged his arm and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work."

Shao Yun felt Ying's gentleness and thoughtfulness, and his heart was moved. He took the opportunity to strike while the iron was hot and said: "Hey, since I have worked so hard, then as a reward..."

Before he finished speaking, he stared at Ying with the eyes of a hungry wolf staring at a piece of delicious meat.

Ying instantly realized Shao Yun's intention and glared at him coquettishly.

"Stop, stop, Paimon is still here!"

When Shao Yun saw Ying using Paimeng as a shield, he thought this was an easy problem to solve.

Shao Yun looked at the crib and saw Paimeng lying listlessly in it, making an offer she couldn't refuse.

"Paimon, I'll treat you to delicious food when we get to Xumi City. But... you have to cover your eyes and ears first!"

Paimeng, who was originally looking depressed, instantly perked up when he heard the word "delicious".

Her big eyes lit up at once, and she nodded excitedly. She quickly covered her head with the quilt, and reminded them, "Okay, okay, but you better keep your voice down!"

Seeing how Paimeng was "bribed" by Shao Yun so easily, Ying, who was standing by, said angrily and amusedly, "Paimeng, you are too easily tempted! It's just a meal, why are you so obedient?"

Seeing that the biggest "light bulb" Paimon had been successfully dealt with, Shao Yun was secretly delighted and felt that all preparations were ready.

He looked at Ying expectantly and asked impatiently, "So, what now?"

After thinking for a moment, Ying nodded gently and closed her eyes.

After getting permission, Shao Yun rubbed his hands unconsciously, appearing a little excited.

At this moment, Ying suddenly remembered something important. She opened her eyes abruptly and pushed Shao Yun away.

"Wait! This is Tinari's residence. How can we do something like this in someone else's home?"

When he heard this, he immediately calmed down. Indeed, how could he do such a thing in someone else's home? It was so rude!

So, the two of them went to bed obediently.

As for whether he would still treat Paimon to a meal if his goal was not achieved, there was no need to ask since he was not short of money for the meal.
