Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 416 Flower God’s Birthday Festival

After Shao Yun dealt with the body of the Fatui, he stayed beside Ying who was sleeping in Weimo Manor until midnight when Ying woke up.

Originally, Shao Yun planned to let Ying sleep directly in Vimalakirti Manor, but considering that Paimeng was still in Xumi City, the two of them rushed back overnight.

When they returned to Xumi City, it was almost late at night, and Paimeng just kept his eyes open and waited until the late night. When he saw Shao Yun and Ying returned safely, Paimeng first breathed a sigh of relief, and then started to throw a tantrum!

After all, Ying promised to come back soon, but she didn't come back until late at night! Paimeng had reason to suspect that Shao Yun and Ying were out fooling around...

Because they didn't expect it to take so long, in order to appease Paimeng's temper, Shao Yun and Ying promised to treat Paimeng to some good food before he was barely appeased.

……

On the day of the Flower God’s birthday, the dawn breaks and the soft sunlight shines through the clouds onto Xumi City.

The city is filled with the fresh and fragrant scent of flowers, making it look like a fairyland in a fairy tale world, and the city is filled with a strong festive atmosphere everywhere.

According to the plan made in advance, Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng prepared to meet Dina Zedai.

As they walked, Paimeng couldn't help yawning. She rubbed her eyes and said with a hint of complaint, "Oh, it's all your fault that you two came back so late last night! I didn't sleep well either. Please don't be late."

After that, she stretched herself, cheered herself up and continued on her way.

On the way to the agreed place with Dina Zedai, Ying occasionally looked down at the palm of her hand, as if she was still immersed in the killing of yesterday and unable to completely let it go.

Although Shao Yun had patiently comforted her yesterday, there was still an indescribable feeling of discomfort deep in her heart.

"It always feels so strange. I just ended someone's life yesterday, but today I am celebrating the festival so happily..."

Shao Yun noticed the subtle changes in Ying's mood, walked to her side, reached out his hand and gently pinched her pink cheek.

"Okay, Ying, stop imagining this. Alfonso or Trofen is already dead. There's nothing to pity about him. There's no need to feel guilty about him."

After hearing Shao Yun's words, Ying relaxed a little, nodded slightly, raised his hand to adjust the hat on his head, and responded softly: "Well, okay..."

"Also, thank you for the two new guns and new holsters you gave me yesterday, and thank you for teaching me how to use my new weapons."

After saying that, Ying patted the two new pistols in the holsters on her waist.

In fact, Shao Yun originally wanted to keep it for himself, but considering that Ying's arsenal needed to be enriched, he gave the gold and silver Schofield revolvers to Ying.

Although the devil's stuff was hot to the touch, since it promised not to target Ying and Paimon, it shouldn't be a problem. Besides, it was a reward from the devil to Ying...

……

At the planned meeting place, Dina Zedai leaned on the railing, her beautiful eyes looking into the distance from time to time, looking forward to someone's arrival.

Finally, when Shao Yun and others appeared in sight, a bright smile instantly broke out on Dina Zedai's face.

She waved her hands excitedly and shouted, "Hello everyone! Happy Flower Goddess Birthday Festival!"

Seeing this, Paimon on the side also waved his hands happily and responded enthusiastically: "Dina Zedai, hello to you too! Happy Flower Goddess Birthday Festival!"

After that, Paimon's eyes fell on Dina Zedai's smiling face, and he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Dina Zedai, you look really happy today!"

Hearing this, Dina Zedai nodded heavily, her excitement evident in her words.

"Of course! I have been looking forward to this day for many days! Moreover, many kind-hearted vendors have taken the initiative to set up stalls at the Flower Goddess Festival this time, and they even refused the subsidies we gave them! Let's go over and show our support to them first!"

Before she finished her words, Dina Zedai couldn't wait to take Shao Yun and others towards the bustling stalls.

On the way, Paimon started mumbling.

“They actually refused the subsidy… It seems that these vendors care about more than just money.”

Dina Zedai, who was walking in front, heard this and turned around with a smile and said, "Yes, everyone said that it was a rare opportunity to celebrate for the beloved Little King of Auspicious Grass. This joyful and peaceful atmosphere is much more important than money!"

Shao Yun felt that sentimentality was one factor. After all, during festivals, the number of customers would be quite high, and the profit would be quite high...

But he didn't say anything. After all, it's a big festival so don't say things that spoil the mood. Even if it's just to join in the fun and add some popularity, it's fine!

Just as they were heading towards the sponsored booth, Paimon's lively eyes suddenly caught sight of a booth not far ahead.

She pointed at the stall excitedly and shouted excitedly: "Hey! Look, there seems to be a stall selling food over there, let's go and take a look!"

Hearing Paimon's shout, the others also turned their eyes to the stall.

When the group arrived in front of the stall, Dina Zedai curiously moved forward and carefully examined the wide variety of food displayed on the stall.

After a moment, she recognized what it was and introduced it to everyone, "Oh, it turns out this is a stall that specializes in selling 'Seven Fresh Table' dishes!"

Paimon, who was standing by, heard what Dina Zedai said and quickly turned his attention to the so-called "Seven Fresh Table" ingredients.

However, after just one look, her face, which was originally full of expectations, instantly fell, and she muttered with a little disappointment: "Oh, why are there only mushrooms, flowers, and various fruits and the like? It seems that they are all vegetarian dishes. It's really disappointing..."

Just as Paimon was sighing over these vegetarian ingredients, a familiar voice was heard.

"Hello, little cutie, little Paimeng, Mr. Shao Yun, and this beautiful and charming lady, hello!"

Shao Yun looked in the direction of the voice and saw the charming Lisa walking towards him with light steps.

She was holding a cup of peach milkshake in her hand and looked very comfortable.

Shao Yun looked at Lisa who appeared here and thought, didn't we say we would meet at Zubair Theater? How did we meet here? Forget it, it's enough to meet, as long as I can get what I need.

Seeing Lisa appear, Paimon's attention immediately shifted away from the Seven Fresh Table. She quickly responded with a smile, "Ms. Lisa! Hello too. How was your Flower God's Birthday Festival?"

Lisa took a sip of the milkshake in her hand, then showed a satisfied expression and said in a sweet voice: "Well~ It's great, I really enjoy this festival!"

Dina Zedai looked at Lisa with a smile on her face, and asked in a gentle and polite tone: "Hello, my name is Dina Zedai. Excuse me, are you a student from the Church of the Lord?"

Lisa held a cup of tempting peach milkshake steadily in her left hand, and gently adjusted the hat on her head with her right hand.

She first responded to Dina Zede with a friendly smile, and then explained softly: "Hello, my name is Lisa. Well... I used to be a student of the Order Academy, but now, I am just an ordinary librarian in the Mond Library."

Having said that, she shrugged slightly, not caring about this change of identity.

Then, Lisa continued to share the reason why she came to Xumi this time.

"I came here for this trip because I heard from Shao Yun that this year's Flower Goddess Birthday Festival will be particularly grand and exciting. So, I squeezed out some time from my vacation to experience it."

"I have to say, Mr. Shao Yun didn't lie to me! Every one of those delicacies tastes so good."

After saying this, she licked her lips contentedly, obviously still unsatisfied with the delicious taste she had just tasted.

Dina Zedai couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when she heard Lisa's praise.

After all, as local residents, investors and organizers, it is a happy thing to be recognized by foreign tourists.

"I see. Happy holidays, Miss Lisa! I hope you can spend a happy and unforgettable time here."

Lisa also smiled sweetly and replied: "Thank you for your blessing, happy holidays! I am also very happy to meet such a lovely friend like you. Well, I will not delay your time any longer. I hope you have a good time today and enjoy your food. I wish you a happy holiday again!"

After chatting with Lisa, Paimon on the side suddenly pointed excitedly at a place not far away and shouted.

"Look, look, there's a candy stand over there giving out candy for free! Let's go check it out!"

……

Shao Yun did not leave immediately with the others. Instead, he stopped and turned his gaze to Lisa. Then he raised his chin slightly and asked in a low voice, "Where is what I need?"

Lisa smiled slightly, and slowly took out a small and exquisite notebook, gently shook it in front of Shao Yun, and replied softly: "Here it is! This morning, I waited for you in the Grand Bazaar for a while, but you didn't come."

"I was planning to buy some drinks to quench my thirst, but who would have thought I would meet you here."

Shao Yun looked around vigilantly, and after confirming that no one was noticing them, he quickly reached out and snatched the small notebook from Lisa's hand and stuffed it into the Eastern Legend backpack on his waist.

Then, he explained apologetically, "I'm sorry, I accidentally overslept this morning and got up a little late."

Lisa watched Shao Yun put the notebook away safely, then leaned close to his ear and reminded him again in a low voice: "Are you really determined to do this? This matter is of great importance..."

However, Shao Yun did not even think about it, and nodded without hesitation, answering firmly: "Why ask? We must do it!"

When Lisa learned that Shao Yun had made up his mind to rescue the little Jixiang Grass King from Jingshan Palace, she simply said, "It seems that you are really lucky."

"Yesterday, a friend of mine told me that today, most of the members of the Thirty-Man Group received orders to be transferred from their posts. Even the Church of the Lords took a holiday today for the first time. It feels like things are getting interesting..."

Then, Lisa pointed to the Ordinance House on the tall tree with lush branches and leaves, and said in a relaxed tone: "In general, you can walk to the Pure Palace without any scruples. You should not meet anyone from the Ordinance House on the way. You will only meet one or two people guarding the Pure Palace."

Shao Yun felt relieved when he heard Lisa say that there might be only one or two guards. One or two people would not be easy to deal with. What was the difference between that and having no one watching?

He thanked Lisa and reminded her: "Okay, thank you for the valuable information you provided. Remember to protect yourself."

Lisa smiled slightly when she heard Shao Yun's instructions, took a sip of Dun Dun peach milkshake, raised her eyebrows and said, "Thank you for your concern. I wish you a happy holiday."

……

After that, nothing changed. Shao Yun followed Dina Zedai, Ying and Paimon to choose candies.

It is worth noting that Ying directly guessed the sunset fruit flavored candy.

The alchemical divination process continued as usual, and the prophecy given to Ying was still about the moon. Shao Yun did not participate.

Next, it was time to help Dishia deal with the members of the Gilded Brigade who attempted to ambush Dina Zedai.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shao Yun returned Dishiya's Reed Sea Beacon to her. With this familiar two-handed sword, Dishiya easily dealt with the Gilded Brigade that attempted to kidnap Dina Zedai by herself.

As for how to explain why he had Dixia's greatsword in his hand, Shao Yun simply told the truth. He saw Dixia sell the sword and he redeemed it right after.

Then, nothing changed.

Faced with Dina Zedai who was worried about her, Dishia found an excuse, quietly retreated into the dark, and continued her mission of protecting Dina Zedai.

……

In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the port of Xumi City. The sparkling water reflects the sunset in the sky, which is beautiful.

After strolling around for a whole day, a few people sat down on a bench by the harbor to rest and chat.

Today is very special for Dina Zedai. Because of the mysterious demon oil painting, she seems energetic and full of energy all day long, without any sign of exhaustion brought by the demon scale disease.

As she was talking, Dina Zedai suddenly said to Ying and Paimon excitedly: "By the way, I have prepared a surprise gift for you!"

"There's still some time. Why don't you come to my house and I'd like to hand them over to you personally. What do you think?"

Hearing about the surprise gift, Paimeng's eyes lit up immediately. He turned to look at Shao Yun beside him and asked curiously, "Shao Yun, do you want to come with us?"

At this time, Shao Yun was looking up at the Church of the Immortal built in the huge tree trunk, thinking about something.

"Excuse me, I still have some things to take care of here. It doesn't take so many people to pick up a gift... How about this, we meet at the Zubair Theater in the Grand Bazaar later?"

Upon hearing that Shao Yun had something to do, Ying nodded understandingly.

"Well, okay, it's okay. Anyway, Paimon and I can protect Dina Zede..."

After saying that, she smiled and waved goodbye to Shao Yun.
