Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Shao Yun followed Dina Zedai into the Lambertton Tavern.

This was the second time that he was brought here by the Humayi family, so he half-jokingly said to Dina Zedai: "Lambaton Tavern, does your Humayi family have any special cooperative relationship with this place?"

Dina Zedai turned her head and looked towards the door of the tavern. When she confirmed that it was safe, she breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "Phew, now that we are here, they should not be able to find us anymore."

Now that we're here, it's time for Dixia to appear.

Just as Shao Yun expected, he soon heard hurried footsteps coming from behind him, along with the sound of swinging fists cutting through the air.

Obviously, Dixia's target of attack was his head!

However, at the critical moment when Dixia's fist was about to hit Shao Yun's head, he turned around quickly and grabbed her wrist accurately with a lightning-fast movement.

Shao Yun twisted Dixia's arm behind her back with force, and then, with a very skillful technique, he quickly controlled her other hand and accurately kicked the "popliteal fossa" behind her knee.

Dixia lost her balance because of the blow and fell to one knee, and the rhythm of her attack was completely disrupted.

Then, Shao Yun pressed her to the ground with one knee without any hesitation.

Dixia twisted her body desperately, trying to break free from Shao Yun's control, but she soon discovered in despair that no matter how hard she tried, she could not shake the other party at all.

At this moment, her hands were tightly grasped by Shao Yun's left hand, and her back was under tremendous pressure from Shao Yun's knee, pressing her tightly against the cold and hard ground.

Dixia was pinned to the ground, unable to move at all.

Shao Yun looked down at the female mercenary who was trying to launch a sneak attack on him, his lips slightly raised in a teasing smile, and kindly reminded her.

"Girl, use long-range weapons next time you launch a sneak attack. How can you possibly win if you foolishly rush up to me in close combat like this?"

However, Dixia did not give up resistance. She still gritted her teeth and tried her best to break free.

However, the reality was so cruel that no matter how she struggled, it was of no avail.

At this moment, Dixia caught a glimpse of Dina Zedai standing not far away. She became anxious and shouted at the top of her voice: "Miss, run quickly, don't worry about me! This hateful kidnapper is too powerful! Go and call for help!"

Shao Yun couldn't help but find it funny when he heard what Di Xia said.

This girl actually really thought of herself as a vicious kidnapper.

But since it has come to this, I might as well just continue playing with her.

So, Shao Yun reached out and slowly pulled out a cowboy revolver from his waist, then put the muzzle of the gun against the back of Dixia's head, deliberately pretending to be fierce, and threatened viciously.

"Hmph, little girl, don't move! A .45 caliber bullet can smash your head into a big watermelon at any time. I advise you to be obedient and stop resisting!"

Seeing that Shao Yun seemed to be about to take fatal action against Dixia, in Dina Zedai's eyes, all this was a huge misunderstanding.

"Dixia, I'm not kidnapped. Mr. Shao Yun, you all misunderstood! This is a complete misunderstanding! Please don't do anything!"

Dixia, who was pressed to the ground, was suddenly shocked. She turned her head in surprise, her eyes full of doubts, and looked at Dina Zedai and asked, "What? Miss, you were not kidnapped?"

Dina Zedai nodded anxiously, with a hint of urgency in her tone, and explained: "No, no, this is really all a misunderstanding."

After Di Xia realized that this was a misunderstanding, she immediately said to Shao Yun who was pressing on her in a soothing tone: "Since this is a misunderstanding, brother, can you let me go now?"

Shao Yun originally just wanted to scare Di Xiaya, but when he saw that the so-called misunderstanding was resolved, he stood up from Di Xiaya.

Di Xia, who was pressed to the ground by Shao Yun, quickly stood up and brushed off the dust on her body.

She turned her gaze to Shao Yun, carefully sizing up the big man with an admiring and appreciative look, and then introduced herself generously: "I am Miss Dina Zedai's personal bodyguard 'Di Xiya', and I am here to take care of bringing the lady home safely."

After introducing herself, Di Xia stretched out her fist and gestured to Shao Yun to bump fists with her to show friendship.

Shao Yun looked at the forthright Dixia in front of him and understood what she meant. He also raised his hand quickly and decisively.

Shao Yun and Di Xia's fists bumped lightly together, and he said politely, "Hello, my name is Shao Yun."

After the two completed this simple but friendly fist-bumping ceremony, Dixia began to look Shao Yun up and down with interest.

Her eyes revealed undisguised admiration, and she couldn't help but blurt out praise: "I have to say, your skills are really amazing. Today we can be said to have known each other for a long time!"

In the face of Dixia's straightforward praise and appreciation, Shao Yun kindly reminded her: "I'll give you a little advice. If you want to sneak attack someone in the future, it's better to use long-range weapons as much as possible."

"Because if you choose to engage in close combat, some enemies with sharp ears might easily hear your footsteps as you approach, just like when we fought just now."

"If you accidentally make a mistake and the other party notices and kills you, you won't even have a chance to regret it."

After listening to Shao Yun's words, which seemed to be understated but were actually full of rich practical experience, in just a few seconds, Shao Yun's image in Di Xia's mind instantly became taller and he received extremely high praise.

"Wow, you sound like you have a lot of experience! Could it be that... you are also a mercenary?"

You know, for mercenaries like Dixia who travel the world, they often have an innate respect for the truly strong.

Just like those Western gunslingers felt for the legendary Landon Ricketts.

Dixia thought that if the other party was also a mercenary like herself, she could examine his character later. If his character was good enough, then they could become friends and cooperate with each other.

When Di Xia asked Shao Yun about his identity, Shao Yun replied in a light-hearted and humorous tone: "Oh, I am just an unknown little character, a nobody."

In fact, compared with Ying, Shao Yun can indeed be called unknown, and his reputation is far inferior to Ying's.

Hearing Shao Yun calling himself a nobody, Dixia couldn't help laughing. She put her hands on her hips and said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Ah? Nobody? Come on, with your ability, if this is considered a nobody, then I'm afraid I'm not even as good as a stray cat in the wild."

At this time, Dina Zedai came over and introduced Shao Yun to Di Xia.

"Dixia, this is a guest from Xumi City. He is my father's distinguished guest and he just arrived yesterday."

When Dixia heard that Shao Yun was a guest of her employer Humayi's family, she stopped asking questions.

After all, she was a mercenary hired by the Humayi family, and Shao Yun was a guest of the Humayi family, so she naturally had to maintain a certain respect and distance.

In addition to Shao Yun's extraordinary skills, Di Xia guessed that he might be a prominent figure. Since the other party was unwilling to disclose it, she stopped asking.

So, Dixia cleverly changed the topic. She greeted in a friendly manner: "Oh, so you are one of us. I wish I had known that earlier. That was a complete misunderstanding just now. Don't take it to heart."

"Besides, it seemed like I was the one being pinned to the ground by you just now, and you didn't seem to suffer any loss."

Shao Yun responded casually: "I don't take it to heart."

Seeing Shao Yun so magnanimous and no longer caring about what had just happened, Di Xia secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She turned around and said to Dina Zedai, "Then, Miss, please come home with me! The master and the mistress are almost going crazy at home!"

As soon as Dixia finished speaking, Dina Zedai's smile suddenly froze.

She waved her hands and shook her head, refusing anxiously, "No, I can't go back. I have a lot of important things waiting for me to deal with!"

Faced with Dinazedai's uncooperative attitude, Dixia couldn't help but feel helpless.

She persuaded earnestly: "Miss, please cooperate with me, this will make things easier for both of us."

"If you still insist on not coming home with me, then I'm afraid I'll really have no choice but to carry you back by force."

After saying that, Dixia stepped forward, stretched out her hand to grab Dina Zedai, and prepared to take her home.

However, at this critical moment, Dinazedai suddenly flashed and hid behind Shao Yun swiftly like a nimble little rabbit.

She tightly grasped the corner of Shao Yun's clothes, as if she had found a life-saving straw, and pleaded pitifully: "Mr. Shao Yun, you must protect me. I still have many wonderful and interesting stories about the little auspicious grass king that I haven't had time to tell your wife!"

Seeing Dina Zedai hiding behind Shao Yun, Dixia could only stop and sigh helplessly: "Oh, my eldest lady..."

Dixia looked at Dina Zedai who was hiding behind Shao Yun with a melancholy look on her face, and at the same time turned her gaze to the tall and strong Shao Yun standing in front of her.

"Mr. Shao Yun, please don't embarrass me. Dina Zedai's parents are very worried about her."

"Miss was unfortunately diagnosed with Demon Scale when she was a child. This is a very terrible disease. You certainly don't want to see her suddenly fainting while walking."

When Dina Zedai heard Dixia mention her magic scale disease, she immediately explained eagerly: "Dixia, please believe me, I am really much better now. If you still have doubts, I can prove it to you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Dina Zedai began to jump a few times on the spot to show her fitness.

Dishia watched Dina Zedai doing such intense exercise, and her heart was filled with worry, fearing that she would fall down accidentally.

Her tone immediately softened, and she consoled him: "Okay, okay, Miss, I believe your physical condition has improved. But you have to make the master and the mistress believe this as well."

Seeing that Dixia no longer insisted on her going home, Dina Zedai softened her tone. She said to Dixia, "Dixia, you have seen my changes in the past month or two. I can even take a walk alone outside Xumi City now. I am really no longer the weak woman who was always sick!"

Dixia showed a trace of embarrassment on her face, and she said softly: "I know... Oh, but the master and the lady are really worried about you..."

Shao Yun stood in the middle, watching the two girls, one in front and one in the back, like a game of eagle catching chickens, with himself caught in the middle.

Deep down, he couldn't help but complain.

"Hey, how did this happen to me... this damn badminton!"

This stalemate was not a solution to the problem, so Shao Yun cleared his throat and made a suggestion.

"Perhaps we can do this. Since Dina Zedai has been found and she is not in any danger now, Miss Dixia, you don't have to be too anxious."

"Let's go have a meal first, then we'll go meet Mr. Shazaman and have a good chat."

"If Dina Zedai wants to go around Xumi City, the two of us who are pretty good at fighting can act as her bodyguards. Isn't that great?"

Upon hearing this suggestion, Dina Zedai immediately smiled.

"That's a really good idea. With you two as guarantors, my dad will definitely not have any objections."

If someone else had made such a suggestion, Dishia would definitely not agree. She would have directly carried Dina Zedai and taken her back to Humayi's house.

However, Dina Zedai hid behind Shao Yun, a man she couldn't beat.

In principle, she should not agree to Dina Zedai's conditions, but the principle was on Dina Zedai's side; plus Shao Yun's suggestion was within her acceptable range, so she finally agreed.

"Well... well, it's really not a good idea to continue to be in a stalemate like this. Let's just do as you say, Mr. Shao Yun."

……

Shao Yun, Dina Zedai and Dixia found a few empty seats in a quiet corner of the Lambertton Tavern and sat down one after another.

Just then, the burly Lambad walked towards the three people with a smile on his face.

He spotted Dishiya at first sight and greeted her enthusiastically, "Oh, isn't this the famous 'Fiery Mane Lion' Dishiya! I haven't seen you for quite some time, at least half a year, right?"

Dixia raised her head slightly, looked at Lambad, waved her hand casually and responded: "Yes, it's been half a year, but I heard that your business is getting more and more prosperous!"

Lambad nodded with a smile, then asked curiously, "I heard that you went to work as a bodyguard for the Humayi family? Haha, I think you didn't really dislike this job at first. Didn't you think it was boring?"

Dixia shrugged and replied nonchalantly: "That's all in the past. I've been doing it for a long time and I've gradually gotten used to it."

After that, she stretched out her hand and said, "Boss, let us see the menu first."

Lambad quickly agreed, took out a menu from his arms and handed it to Dishia.

However, just as Dixia was about to lower her head to study the menu, she suddenly heard Lambad say something to Shao Yun.

"Sir, you are here again, what would you like to eat today?"

As soon as Dishia heard Lambad use the word "again", her eyes, which were originally focused on the menu, instantly shifted to Lambad.

"Lambad! You actually know Shao Yun?"

Lambad had anticipated Dishia's surprised reaction. He nodded calmly and explained, "Of course. Otherwise, how could I stand behind the counter and watch you guys fighting in the hall just now so calmly? This is Master Shazaman's guest."

It was called a fight, but in fact Shao Yun just unilaterally crushed Di Xia.

Dixia put the menu in her hand on the table and crossed her arms over her chest.

A helpless smile appeared on that beautiful but slightly angry face, and she said angrily: "Well, so you have been hiding here without saying anything, just watching me make a fool of myself and make a fool of myself!"

Seeing this, Lambad hurriedly apologized with a smile.

"Oh, please don't be angry! I just didn't expect that a 'Fiery Mane Lion' like you would be defeated. It's really rare!"

"No, I was so engrossed in watching the fight that I forgot to come over and stop them!"

After hearing this explanation, Dixia said, not knowing what to think: "I treated you as an old friend, but you not only didn't help me, but also watched me make trouble from the sidelines!"

Seeing that Dishia seemed really angry, Lambad quickly put away his smile and nodded repeatedly to apologize to her.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I'm so sorry! I'll give you a plate of delicious date honey as an apology. I hope you can be magnanimous and not hold it against me!"

When Dishiya heard the words "date palm honey", she instantly turned from anger to joy.

In fact, she was not really angry at all, she just felt a little embarrassed.

After all, we hadn't seen each other for half a year, and I was pushed to the ground as soon as I came up. It was so embarrassing.

What's more, losing to Shao Yun this time doesn't mean anything. As long as I practice more fighting skills in the future, I will surpass him one day.

"Lambad, I'm not angry. I'm just joking with you! Remember to charge for the date palm honey!"
