Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 400: The Mysterious Painting of Humayi's Family

Shao Yun followed Dina Zedai and Dixia to a magnificent manor in Xumi City.

The architectural style of this manor cleverly combines the traditional architectural elements of Xumi with the beautiful scenery of nature, showing a harmonious and unique beauty.

When they stepped into the gate of the manor, the first thing that caught their eyes was a spacious courtyard. In the center was a pattern made of colorful stones carefully pieced together, and around it were various flowers that grew locally in Xumi, emitting bursts of fragrance.

In a corner of the courtyard, there is a crystal clear pond, in which grows the moon lotus, an aquatic plant unique to Xumi.

The interior decoration of the manor is also full of Xumi characteristics. Various valuable furniture and furnishings demonstrate the wealth of the owner, and the luxurious hand-woven carpets on the floor are even more amazing.

Shao Yun's heart was filled with surprise. He couldn't imagine that there was such a large mansion in Xumi City. Its luxury was second only to the Casazale Palace. This undoubtedly demonstrated the extraordinary financial resources and taste of the Humayi family.

In the hall of the manor, Shazaman was pacing back and forth anxiously, waiting for news about his daughter.

Suddenly, he saw his daughter Dina Zedai being brought back by Shao Yun and Di Xiya. He was overjoyed and hurried forward, saying excitedly: "Oh, daughter, you really made me worry to death."

Facing her excited father, Dina Zedai smiled and comforted him: "Dad, I'm really fine, don't worry."

……

In the following episode, Dishia elaborates to Shahzaman about the events that took place during Dina Zedai’s disappearance.

According to Dishia's account, the story went something like this: Dinazedai felt extremely bored after staying at home for a long time, so she decided to go out for a walk to relieve her depression.

When she was found by Dishia, Dishia immediately took her home safely and reported her safety to her family.

After Dixia's clear explanation, Dina Zedai followed the steps and put forward the idea of ​​going out to relax again.

At first, Shazaman was opposed to Dinazedai's request to go out again, but Dinazedai mentioned that Shao Yun and Dishiya would accompany her to ensure her safety.

Seeing that Dixia and Shao Yun were willing to protect Dina Zedai, Shazaman finally agreed. He sighed and said, "Since I have your protection, then fine, I will entrust my daughter to you."

Before Dinazedai was about to leave, Shazaman did not forget to remind her again.

"Daughter, remember, don't leave Dixia and Mr. Shao Yun's sight. If you feel unwell, you must go home immediately!"

Seeing her father caring about her so much, Dina Zedai also agreed seriously: "Don't worry, Dad, I'm not a child anymore."

Dixia pounded his chest hard and assured Shazaman: "Don't worry, Master Humayi, with Mr. Shao Yun and I protecting the young lady, it is impossible for the young lady to encounter any danger."

As she spoke, she gently patted Shao Yun who was standing beside her and asked, "Don't you think so, Mr. Shao Yun?"

However, Shao Yun had no intention of responding to Dixia's words at the moment, because as soon as he stepped into the room, his eyes were attracted by an oil painting hanging next to the door - the portrait of the devil.

Di Xia noticed that Shao Yun did not respond to her words, but stared at the painting with a dull look. She stretched out her hand and waved in front of Shao Yun, and asked curiously: "Hey, Mr. Shao Yun, what are you thinking about? Why are you in a daze?"

Shao Yun was finally brought back to his senses by Di Xia's interruption. He quickly shook his head and replied, "Nothing, nothing."

Following Shao Yun's line of sight, Di Xia also noticed the oil painting.

Then, Dishia began to explain: "Oh, the person depicted in this painting seems to be the stranger who saved us. I remember he said at the time that he could have abandoned us in that dead area to die, but for the sake of the little auspicious grass king, he finally decided to save us."

Dina Zedai also nodded and agreed: "Indeed, now that I think about it, I even suspect that he might be a follower of the Little Lucky Grass King, and he came here specifically to save us."

When he heard that Dina Zedai regarded the man in the tall hat as a follower of the Little Lucky Grass King, he smiled bitterly in his heart.

If this demon is a follower of the Little Auspicious Grass King, then Heaven should move away immediately and let Nashida be the Heaven’s judge.

Shazaman had heard his daughter mention that the figures seen in an oil painting seemed to be the followers of the Little Auspicious Grass King, and that the painting also miraculously alleviated her magic scale disease.

Now when he heard his daughter mention this again, he couldn't help but smile and said lightly: "Hey, if this oil painting really has such a magical effect, then the Health Home should have bought this painting from me at all costs a long time ago."

Later, Shahzaman recalled what happened at that time through the narration of Dishia and Dina Zedai and gave his own opinion.

"I think what the doctor at the Health House said makes sense. You two were both affected by the dead zone at the time, which caused your normal judgment to be impaired. A kind person must have rescued you two from your coma."

"He probably sent us this painting so that we can remember what he looked like and reward him accordingly when he visits us in the future."

At this point, Shazaman waved his hand, showing a very free and easy attitude, and said: "Forget it, if this person really comes to visit, I will definitely entertain him well."

After hearing what Shazaman said, Shao Yun thought, it would be better if you don't expect that devil to really come to your house!

……

After leaving Dinazedai's manor, Shao Yun, Dinazedai and Dixia walked on the road leading to the Grand Bazaar.

As they walked, Dixia seemed to feel a little bored. She casually put her hands behind her head and asked Dina Zedai, "By the way, Miss, why are you going to the Grand Bazaar? Is there anything special you want to buy?"

At this point, Dixia was thinking to herself, if she really went shopping, should she take this opportunity to buy some cosmetics like water-resistant foundation?

Hearing Dixia's question, Dina Zedai smiled and shook her head, answering truthfully: "That's not the case, Dixia. Look, isn't the Flower God's Birthday Festival coming soon?"

"In the past, only those who lived in the Grand Bazaar would hold smaller celebrations. I always wanted to help organize this celebration."

"It's just... well, I didn't know anyone living there before, so I didn't know where to start, let alone do anything practical to help the celebration."

At this point, Dina Zedai sighed slightly, with a hint of regret and helplessness in her eyes.

However, at this moment, Dina Zedai's face suddenly broke into an extremely bright smile.

She continued excitedly, "But recently, I had the honor of meeting a good friend who lives in the Grand Bazaar! And, coincidentally, she and I are both devout believers of the Little Grass God!"

Then, Dina Zedai continued her story with great joy.

"So, I gave her all my savings without hesitation, hoping that she could use the money to prepare for the Flower Goddess' Birthday Festival."

"Although this is all I can do, as long as I can make Little Grass God's birthday more lively, I will be satisfied!"

When Dixia heard what Dina Zedai said, a girl appeared in her mind and she asked quickly.

"Wait a minute, Miss, the friend you are talking about, could it be Nello who sent flowers to our home?"

Dina Zedai nodded slightly, and with a smile on her face, she replied, "Yes, it is her."

Dixia suddenly realized something. She muttered to herself, "I noticed that when she left the mansion a few days ago, she looked very flustered and seemed to be holding something tightly in her arms. Could it be that you gave her something?"

Dina Zedai nodded again and answered frankly, "Yes, it was me. Because the money I prepared at the beginning was not enough, I asked Nilu to sell one of my skirts."

……

When Shao Yun heard about selling the skirt, he suddenly remembered the second-hand cheongsam of Hua Chu that the celebrity Miss Zhai Xingxi had given to him.

Thinking that the unlucky piece of tattered clothing was still in his backpack, Shao Yun felt that he must destroy the cheongsam as soon as possible tonight!

……

Suddenly Dina Zedai felt a little embarrassed and told her plan for today.

"Actually, I made an appointment with Nilu today to go to the Grand Bazaar, but...you guys came looking for me, and then you were pinned to the ground by Mr. Shao Yun."

After learning about Dina Zedai's schedule for today, Dixia also felt a little embarrassed. She scratched her head and asked, "Miss, why didn't you tell us in advance? I was really shocked that you left home so quietly."

Dina Zedai put her hands on her waist and asked helplessly: "Dixia, do you think you would support me if I told you at that time? My father would definitely not allow me to leave home."

"And you, I'm sure, will also obey my father's orders and keep a close eye on me so that I won't step out of the house."

Dixia used a smile to hide her embarrassment. She responded: "Well, you are right. After all, I can't disobey my employer. But now, these worries no longer exist."

……

The Grand Bazaar is located at the bottom of Xumi City. It is lined with shops and sells a wide variety of goods, from daily necessities to rare and exotic treasures.

Whether it is exquisite handicrafts, colorful fabrics, or various spices and delicacies, you can find them here.

The layout of the market is intricate and the air is filled with the aroma of various spices and food.

The colorful fabrics and handicrafts attract merchants from all over the world who come here to bargain.

The Grand Bazaar is not only a place for transactions, but also a center for cultural exchange.

Here, you can see various styles of dance and performing arts.

The most famous Zubair Theater is located here, with wonderful performances attracting crowds of audiences every day.

Shao Yun looked at the bustling market under the tree and exclaimed: "Wow, there is such a large space under this tree..."

"There is the Fatma House above and the Grand Bazaar below. The top is heavy and the bottom is empty. Won't the tree collapse under the weight?"

Hearing Shao Yun's doubts, Dixia was also happy to answer his questions and said, "When I first saw the Grand Bazaar, I thought the same as you, but I heard from the people in the Ministry of Education that this tree has strong vitality, so there is no need to worry."

"Besides, if it really collapses, the church above will also be affected. So someone else is worrying about it, and we don't have to worry about it."

After listening to this, Shao Yun nodded slightly and said, "I understand. When the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up."
