Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Shao Yun took the lift inside the Ordinance Court and arrived at the confinement room of the Ordinance Court. An unexpected fragrance quietly penetrated into his nose.

He frowned in confusion. The aroma of the food seemed particularly abrupt in this place that should have been dull and depressing.

When Shao Yun finally arrived at the confinement room, the scene before him through the cold iron gate made him burst out laughing.

I saw Ying setting up an iron pot and concentrating on cooking the delicacies in the pot.

Elhaisen and the others sat or stood in a circle, enjoying Ying's cooking with relish.

Those who know about this scene may think it is a solitary confinement room or a prison, while those who don’t may think a food festival is being held here!

Shao Yun walked to the iron fence, crossed his arms, and looked at the group of guys eating and drinking with interest. He deliberately raised his voice and teased: "Wow, look at the life you are leading, it's really comfortable!"

As soon as the voice fell, the originally lively scene suddenly became quiet. Everyone turned their heads and looked at Shao Yun at the door.

Paimeng's eyes widened, her mouth still full of food. She didn't bother to chew slowly, and swallowed it hastily, then flew to the railing and shouted excitedly: "Shao Yun, you're finally here! Paimeng missed you!"

Seeing this, Shao Yun showed a warm smile on his face and said softly: "What would you do without me?"

Suddenly, Paimeng's smart eyes focused on Shao Yun, and then her little face wrinkled, as if she had discovered something extremely terrifying.

Shao Yun's clothes were stained with blood, and dark red blood stains were scattered all over his body, as if he had just experienced a brutal fight.

What is even more unbearable is that a pungent smell hits you in the face, which is a strong smell of sulfur mixed with the smell of rust.

After smelling this extremely unpleasant smell, Paimon almost subconsciously flew back a distance.

She pinched her nose tightly and waved her other hand to try to dispel the strange smell, muttering under her breath.

"Shao Yun, wow, why are there blood all over your body... and what's with that smell..."

At this time, Shao Yun did not care about Paimeng's reaction. He quickly raised the heavy iron fence gate.

With a dull friction sound, the confinement room was opened.

Shao Yun shouted to the people who were eating, "Everyone, there is no time to eat now. Let's release Nashida and then solve this!"

Hearing Shao Yun's call, everyone who was still eating put down the food in their hands and stood up.

Senuo walked quickly to Shao Yun, looked at him seriously, and asked, "By the way, Mr. Shao Yun, may I ask, did you set fire to something?"

"Because all day long we've been able to smell something burning."

Elhaisen, who was standing nearby, nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with Seno's question, and continued, "Yes, I also noticed this strange smell."

"So, please don't tell us that your so-called rescue plan is to let us escape by setting fire to the House of the Decrees?"

Facing the two people's questions, Shao Yun couldn't help coughing twice, then shrugged helplessly and responded: "Okay, I did burn some things, but it's definitely not the Church of the Order you think of."

……

Everyone boarded the lift platform and left the confinement room.

As they gradually walked toward the outside of the Church, a strong and pungent smell of sulfur hit their noses, mixed with the smell of burnt trees. The odor became stronger and stronger, making people feel nauseous and uncomfortable.

When they finally arrived at the gate of the Ordinance House, the scene before them stunned everyone.

It seemed like there was a terrible sandstorm outside, with smoke covering the sky and visibility less than thirty meters.

The howling wind blew up dust and smoke, forming huge whirlpools that raged in the air.

Seno quickly covered his mouth and nose with his hands, frowned, and muttered in a low voice: "What is going on? Is it a sandstorm? But that's not right. How could such a severe sandstorm suddenly appear in the rain forest? And the smell is too pungent."

At this moment, Seno's eyes pierced through the dense smoke and dust, and vaguely saw the occasional flashes of explosions in the distance.

He opened his eyes wide, pointed to the distance with astonishment and asked: "What are those exploding flames?"

Then, he cast a suspicious look at Shao Yun beside him, only to see Shao Yun nodded calmly and gave him a thumbs up with great confidence.

Then, Shao Yun replied slowly: "You guessed it almost right, but if your action had not failed, I would not have taken such extreme measures."

Hearing this, Seno slapped his head angrily, complaining: "God of Grass! This is a big problem. It seems that we not only have to deal with this sudden disaster, but also find a way to put out the fire and carry out rescue work."

Just when Senor and Elhaisen were preparing to look for the Commander or the thirty-man mercenary group to help in Xumi City where visibility was less than 30 meters, Shao Yun, out of kindness, put forward his suggestion.

"I suggest you not to leave Xumi City, and it's better not to leave the Church of the Lord."

Elhaisen raised the question while enduring the discomfort in his throat.

"why?"

Shao Yun patiently explained: "Because the area outside Xumi City is already a 'hell on earth'..."

……

The matter of El Haisen and Senor was put aside.

Shao Yun led Ying and Paimeng along the road and arrived in front of Jingshan Palace.

Looking at the empty Jingshan Palace in front of him, Shao Yun couldn't help but make a joke.

"No one? That would save a lot of trouble!"

After saying that, he took the lead in pushing open the door and walking in, followed closely by Ying and Paimon.

As soon as we entered Jingshan Palace, the pungent smell of sulfur and ash that had originally permeated the air had been alleviated a lot.

Shao Yun reached out again and activated the meditation device in the hall.

Along with a slight mechanical sound, the meditation device that imprisoned Nashida began to slowly start up.

Nashida's petite body floated down slowly like a light feather.

Her tightly closed eyes slowly opened again. However, just as Nashida was about to speak, Shao Yun took a step forward and started teasing her.

"It seems that your so-called bloodless plan has failed after all. I have killed far more people than I imagined along the way."

When Nashida heard that Shao Yun had killed so many people, she instantly felt mixed emotions.

But what can she do? After all, she had been reminded, and she still failed. Facing Shao Yun's sarcasm, she could only endure it silently, and had no other reaction.

Nashida swallowed hard and asked, "How many people did you... kill?"

Shao Yun casually shook off the dust on his body, looked at Nashida calmly, and slowly said: "To be honest, I don't know the exact number. But, it's raining sulfur fire or something like that outside now."

As soon as she heard the word "sulfur fire", Nashida's face turned pale instantly.

She sniffed hard at the faint pungent smell in the air, and her panic grew stronger.

Finally, she could no longer suppress her shock and screamed, "What did you say?!"

Seeing this, Shao Yun sighed helplessly.

"I have no choice, Nashida. If the Sustainer of Justice wants to trouble me, let her come! I am not afraid!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Ying who had been silent beside him, and said sincerely and firmly: "Ying, please forgive my recklessness and impulsiveness. But I once swore to you that no matter what the cost, I would protect you. So, I'm sorry..."

Ying listened to Shao Yun's words with her eyes lowered, making it impossible to tell her emotions at the moment.

After a while, she nodded slightly, indicating that she understood Shao Yun's approach, but did not say much.

Seeing this, Shao Yun took a deep breath, clenched his hands into fists, and said seriously: "Next, I will kill that scattered soldier, and then snatch the Heart of Thunder! He is my prey, no one can snatch it from me!"

What I mean is, I'll go alone, Ying, and you don't have to accompany me on this adventure.

Shao Yun turned back to look at Nashida and said solemnly, "Nashida, go get your God's Heart that maintains the void."

When Ying heard that she was not allowed to go, she immediately held Shao Yun's hand tightly, completely ignoring the shocking bloodstains on his palms that had not yet dried.

"let's go together."

However, before Shao Yun could respond, Nashida, who was originally in low spirits, slowly raised her head and said weakly: "Let Shao Yun go by himself."

Then, Nashida pointed to a seemingly ordinary door in the Jingshan Palace and explained, "To get to the God-making Workshop, just walk straight ahead along the door on the Jingshan Palace side."

"The great sage built the workshop in the Church of the Lord to conceal it from the public. You can find the location by following this road."

Upon hearing that Nashida was actually planning to let Shao Yun go alone to face the scattered soldiers who were trying to become gods, Ying's eyes widened and he stared at her in disbelief.

"Nashida, what on earth are you talking about? How can I let Shao Yun go alone?"

Nashida's face became increasingly heavy. She took a deep breath and said, "Just now, I heard the forest crying in the fire. Lanaro told me that the sky was torn apart. Shao Yun might not be able to escape this disaster."

After hearing this, Ying's delicate body trembled violently.

She turned around and shouted to Shao Yun anxiously: "But... No! No matter what, I must go with you!"

In order to make Ying feel at ease, Shao Yun once again took off his black gambler's hat and handed it to her.

"Take this hat, just like you did in the Jade Pavilion in Liyue, and wait for me to come back and take my hat."

Ying watched Shao Yun hand the hat to her, and she felt an inexplicable sense of security in her heart. Then she nodded and responded, "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."

It is worth mentioning that Nashida did not give Shao Yun the "void" that floats in the air and is shaped like a little rabbit.

This may be because Nashida did not have enough time to prepare, or she believed that Shao Yun alone was enough to deal with the scattered soldiers who were about to become gods, without the help of the power of the "Void".

Anyway, it was decided that Ying and Paimon would accompany Nashida to retrieve her own Heart of the Grass God, while Shao Yun would go alone to retrieve the Heart of the Thunder God.
