Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Not sure if it was because of the illness that made him weak or some other factor, Shao Yun nodded and asked, "So, do you really think you can succeed this time?"

After seeing Shao Yun agree, Ying's pretty face instantly blossomed into a smile as brilliant and moving as a blooming spring flower.

She was extremely excited and tightly grasped Shao Yun's hand, and replied with great confidence: "Don't worry, I am absolutely sure!"

Seeing Ying so confident and well-planned, Shao Yun still had some doubts in his heart, but finally chose to believe her.

But he warned earnestly: "If you fail, remember that our main mission in Xumi has been completed."

"So once the situation becomes unmanageable, you and Paimon quickly evacuate the scene and come back to find me, and then the three of us will head directly to Fontaine."

"When the time comes, if I can't make it anymore, just bury me somewhere where I can see the sunset."

Hearing Shao Yun's discouraging words, Ying couldn't help but frown slightly, raised her hand and gently punched Shao Yun in the chest, and at the same time comforted him softly: "Listen to me, Shao Yun, we will definitely succeed!"

"Many times, you have to trust me as an experienced and battle-hardened adventurer."

Shao Yun looked at Ying in front of him with a hint of anger on his face, but his eyes were full of concern.

He smiled slightly bitterly and said with emotion: "Well, maybe once a person gets sick, he tends to become depressed and decadent... plus some other things..."

However, before Shao Yun could finish his words, Ying suddenly stood on tiptoe and quickly kissed Shao Yun on the cheek.

Then, she looked straight at Shao Yun and said firmly: "Don't belittle yourself like this, Shao Yun, you will definitely get better. Don't forget, we still have to go to Fontaine together."

Then, Ying continued, "After you have fully recovered from your illness, we will go to Fontaine and then to Natta. As for the last part, although I am not sure what kind of experience we will have in Winter Solstice, please believe me, we will succeed."

"When it's all over in the end, we'll all be free."

Listening to Ying describing their beautiful future with great longing, Shao Yun did not know how to respond for a moment.

He just nodded silently, feeling mixed emotions.

Finally, he took a deep breath and said slowly: "Well, I hope everything goes as you said."

……

A whole week has passed in the blink of an eye since the new plan was launched.

However, what is worrying is that no news has been received so far.

Even when Shao Yun took the initiative to contact Ying using the void terminal, he received no response, as if a stone fell into the sea.

During this long and arduous period, Shao Yun stayed in Aru Village, waiting for good news.

……

Day 7, morning.

Shao Yun sat quietly on the steps at the door, basking in the sun.

Suddenly, a black shadow appeared in front of Shao Yun, blocking the light in front of him.

Shao Yun couldn't help but be slightly stunned. He looked carefully and saw Candice standing in front of him with a familiar bowl in both hands.

With a look of concern on her beautiful face, she said softly, "Come, drink this bowl of medicine."

After saying that, Candice handed the bowl in her hand towards Shao Yun.

Shao Yun looked at this very familiar bowl, feeling helpless. In the past seven days, it was not known whether it was Nashida or Ying's request, but Candice had delivered medicine to him on time every day.

He smiled bitterly, shook his head, and sighed, "You should save these medicines for the injured members of the Blazing Beast Hunters. It was a complete waste for me to drink them."

Candice smiled and gently persuaded: "I know this thing can't cure you. Lord Grass God has told me that your illness is related to the World Tree. Although I don't know the principle, my medicine should make you feel better..."

"It's better to be more comfortable than to make yourself uncomfortable."

Shao Yun shook his head helplessly, stretched out his hand, and took the bowl of medicine with a pungent smell from Candice.

He frowned slightly, took a deep breath, then closed his eyes and drank the medicine in the bowl in one gulp.

The bitter taste instantly spread in his mouth, making him smack his lips.

How should I describe the taste? Although it is lighter than the special effect miracle supplement, it is still very bitter.

After drinking the medicine, Shao Yun changed the empty bowl back and wiped the remaining medicine from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.

"I don't know why, but I've been feeling anxious these past few days, as if something bad is about to happen."

Candice took the bowl handed to her by Shao Yun, and did not turn around and leave immediately as usual, but leaned gently against the wall.

She looked at Shao Yun with her eyes of different colors and comforted him gently: "It's normal to worry, but you have to trust others too."

After saying that, Candice looked at Shao Yun with concern and continued to suggest: "Why don't we chat? This can help you pass the time and divert your attention from those troubles."

After listening to Candice's words, Shao Yun let out a long breath and nodded slightly to show his agreement.

Then he looked at Candice and asked, "Well, since you're the one who suggested chatting, go ahead. What do you want to talk about? After all, you're the one who started this topic."

Candice tilted her head, thought for a moment, then smiled and asked a seemingly ordinary yet somewhat meaningless question.

"I heard from Ying and Paimon that you are also an adventurer! So during your adventures, have you ever received any particularly interesting or memorable commissions?"

When Shao Yun heard this question, he couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook his head, and replied: "Well, to be honest, I only started to be an adventurer, and occasionally I would take on some commissions."

"But after that...I almost never took the initiative to accept any commissions again."

After all, Mondstadt's commission, how should I put it, that cargo hot air balloon is really not as fast as a horse! If I had a Sharma, I would have borrowed a car from Master Diluc to deliver it.

After answering, it was finally Shao Yun's turn to ask Candice a question.

"What about you? How do you spend your days?"

Faced with Shao Yun's sudden question, Candice didn't even need to think about it, and spit out those four words without hesitation.

"Protect the village."

These four short words give people the feeling that this is the whole meaning of her life.

After listening to this, Shao Yun immediately asked, "Besides protecting the village, is there nothing else to do?"

At this moment, Candice glanced at Shao Yun who was sitting on the steps at the door, a helpless look appeared on her face, and she couldn't help but ask, "Why are you the same as Dixia?"

However, despite her complaints, she was not really angry in her heart.

Shao Yun couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and then explained: "Haha, don't get me wrong! How boring it would be to repeat the same thing every day."

"Besides this mission of protecting the village, do you have any other entertainment activities?"

Candice has long been accustomed to her monotonous daily life.

Candice shook her head slightly and replied calmly, "Entertainment. As far as I can remember, that's what I did when I was a kid."

At this moment, Shao Yun wanted to make a few more jokes to liven up the atmosphere, but before he could say anything, he burst into another violent coughing fit.

He quickly covered his mouth and said intermittently: "Cough... cough cough, oh, damn..."

Seeing this, Candice's heart tightened. Looking at Shao Yun's face, which became increasingly pale and weak due to coughing, she couldn't help but frowned and said worriedly, "It seems that the effect of the medicine is getting worse."

As soon as she finished speaking, she stepped forward and carefully lifted up his right arm, and said gently: "Come on, let me help you go back and rest for a while."

Candice supported Shao Yun and brought him back to the room.

She placed Shao Yun on the bed and comforted him, "Lord Grass God possesses extremely powerful wisdom and will surely be able to successfully resolve the problems facing the World Tree."

"So, just rest assured. Maybe when you wake up, the disease that bothers you will be cured."

Shao Yun lay weakly on the bed, and even speaking required a lot of effort.

He opened his mouth with difficulty, as if he wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, he felt a strong dizziness coming over him, his consciousness gradually became blurred, and he soon fell into a coma again.
