Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Benben’s matter was put on hold for the time being.

Outside Aru Village, Ying rode the ivory-white and gold Dutch warmblood horse "Buel", and Shao Yun rode the "Ghost Face Fox Trot" Belloc, to cultivate their relationship.

Before setting off, Jade unfolded a map and began to study the route, saying, "Ms. Candice gave me a map. Let me see how to get to the Tanit tribe..."

Just as Jiede was gesturing at the map, Shao Yun kindly said, "I've been to the Tanit tribe and I'm familiar with the route. You can put your map away."

When she heard that Shao Yun had been there, Jie De asked curiously, "Have you been there?"

Shao Yun nodded and said calmly: "Yes, I had something to do before, so I passed by there and stayed overnight. I am quite familiar with the route."

Seeing that Shao Yun knew the way, Jie De breathed a sigh of relief.

"In that case, that's great! I'll trouble you to lead the way from now on."

After saying that, she quickly folded the map in her hand and put it back in her arms, then walked swiftly to the side of the horse Ying was riding.

She hesitated for a moment, then shyly sat astride Ying's back.

After sitting down, she stretched out her hands and tightly wrapped them around Ying's soft waist, as if she was afraid that she would lose balance and fall down if she was not careful.

Not only that, her body involuntarily moved forward close to Ying's back, and even her cheeks gently rubbed the soft clothing on Ying's body, feeling the warm breath from her.

But because both of them were girls, Ying didn't think much about it. She thought that Jade was just riding a horse for the first time and was a little scared, so she put herself into her perspective at the time.

……

On the way, in order to avoid the boredom brought by the journey, Shao Yun was the first to break the silence.

He said casually, "Ying, I've been thinking about something recently. How many desert maps do you think Candice has?"

"I feel like she sends a map to every outsider she sees in the desert. Just a few days ago, she even sent a copy to Eula."

When Ying, who was keeping pace with Shao Yun, heard the name "Eula", an expression of extreme shock appeared on his face.

"Eula has come to Xumi?!"

Seeing Ying's big reaction, Shao Yun immediately said, "Didn't I tell you that Eula left the Knights?"

This sentence almost made Ying dumbfounded, and she asked anxiously: "You didn't tell me, what's going on?"

……

Shao Yun told Ying and Paimeng about what happened when he met Eula in Aru Village that day.

However, Shao Yun wisely chose to keep silent about the episode in which Youla suddenly went crazy and changed clothes in front of him, almost allowing him to see her snow-white body.

It's not that he wants to hide something, it's mainly because there's Jade, a brighter light bulb than Paimon...

After listening to Shao Yun's explanation, Paimeng muttered, not knowing what to think: "So that's what happened... Eula left the Knights and started traveling to relax like us."

Shao Yun saw the complicated expression on Paimeng's face and said something to make her feel more at ease.

"You may meet her during your desert adventure. She used to be the leader of a guerrilla squad in the wilds of Mondstadt. She must have good survival skills."

After hearing Shao Yun's words, Paimeng felt a little relieved.

"That's right. With Eula's skills, she shouldn't run into any danger in the desert."

At this moment, Jade, who had been sitting quietly behind Ying and hugging her intimately, suddenly interrupted and asked curiously: "Eula? Is she your good friend?"

Ying answered for Jade behind her: "Yes, that's right, she is my friend just like you, Jade."

When she heard that it was Ying's friend, Jade immediately showed great enthusiasm.

"Don't your friends have anywhere to go now?"

Faced with this question, Ying was silent for a few seconds before slowly answering: "Well... according to what Shao Yun just said, the situation is probably like this."

Upon hearing this, Jade said without hesitation, "Why don't you let your friends try to go to the Tanit tribe with me? Your friends are my friends. I can help take care of them."

Shao Yun thought, although your return to the Tanit tribe should be a foregone conclusion, but now, haven't you still not returned to your father's tribe?

Now he wants to help Ying and Paimon’s friends. Is this the value of a friendship of life and death?

Shao Yun simply dissuaded Jie De from her idea and said, "I don't think everyone is suitable for living in the desert. I guess she will go somewhere else after riding her camel around the desert."

Upon hearing what Shao Yun said, Jie De gave her own opinion and said, "If she is riding a camel around in the desert, then I think she might go to Nata."

"If we go west, it's still easy to get to Nata if the weather is good."

Shao Yun glanced indifferently at the desert to the west and muttered, "Who knows..."

……

After a long journey, Shao Yun and his party arrived at a canyon relic, the "Tanit Campsite".

Two tribal scouts from the Tanit tribe, dressed in gold-plated brigade uniforms, spotted the men and immediately raised their weapons.

One of the scouts shouted, "Stop! Who are you?"

"Hello, I..."

Paimon was just thinking about saying hello in a friendly way, and just as he said a few words, Jade rushed forward and took the initiative to explain her purpose.

"Can I meet the leader of the tribe?"

Upon hearing this, the scout glanced at Jade's unique desert people attire, and his tense nerves relaxed a little, but his vigilance was still not completely eliminated.

He stared at Jade and continued to ask, "What do you want from our Madam Babel?"

Facing the scout's questions, Jade took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and began to briefly introduce her identity and background.

"My father's name is Gabriel. According to the notes left by my mother before she died, my father was a member of the Tanit tribe. Therefore..."

When she mentioned her father, Jade's voice couldn't help but tremble and her eyes instantly became moist.

She paused for a moment, trying to calm down her excitement, and then said, "So, this time I came here, I hope to return to the tribe."

"Besides, I have some more complicated reasons. Can I talk to Chief Babel about it?"

The scout was also undecided, so he discussed with his companions and then said, "Wait a moment, I will go report to the mistress first."

……

Inside the tribe, there was only Madam Babel, who had long, soft, shiny pink hair, part of which was held in place by a side hood.

Her face is covered by an exquisite mask, which only reveals the lower half of her face and forehead, adding a sense of mystery.

Her outfit was very ornate and desert tribal.

The upper body is wearing an off-shoulder tights, the main body of which is dark in color and decorated with exquisite gold and red patterns, showing an exotic style.

She wore a wide red gilded brigade-style silk scarf as a belt around her waist, with a prominent gold decorative ornament on it, which served as a waist-binding function.

She wore a pair of tight black stockings on the lower body, the color of which echoed the top, and the overall combination was harmonious.

She wore bracers on her arms with golden decorations on her wrists.

She wore a pair of high heels with gold decorations on the uppers, which complemented the gold elements on her clothes.

When Babel heard someone looking for her, she couldn't help but become curious and asked who the person was.

When the scout reported to her, she smiled disdainfully and said, "What? Three foreigners and a desert man want to see me? This is a really weird combination..."

Then, she showed her contempt again and sneered: "Gabriel... a traitor! Now her daughter, a foreigner and a traitor, wants to return to the tribe. It's really laughable..."

The scout felt a little uneasy when he heard Babel's tone, and asked cautiously, "So, according to the mistress, we should..."

Babel really wanted to deal with the visitors directly, but out of caution, she decided to see who they were first!

"Bring the person here for me to see first, and then I will make the decision."

……

After receiving Babel's order, the scout of the Tanit tribe did not dare to delay and hurriedly led Shao Yun, Ying, Paimon and Jade into the "Tanit Campground".

The camp is located in the ruins of a quiet and deep canyon, and is filled with the vicissitudes of time.

Looking around, only countless ruins remain of the former glory.

Among these ruins, there are desert-style tents scattered in an orderly manner.

Led by the scouts, Shao Yun and his four companions came before Mistress Babel.

At this moment, Babel was looking through the blindfold at the three women and one man in front of her.

When her eyes first fell on Ying, Paimon and Jade, there was not much ripple in her heart, and she even revealed a little contempt.

She looked down on Ying and Paimon from the bottom of her heart because they looked like strangers from outside the place; and she was even more disgusted by people like Jade, who were the descendants of traitors and outsiders.

However, when Babel's eyes fell on Shao Yun, the situation suddenly changed.

The contemptuous look on her face disappeared instantly, and her eyes hidden under the Gilded Brigade's eye mask suddenly focused, as if she had discovered something surprising.

Then, her expression began to become a little strange. After hesitating for a moment, she slowly said, "Well, wait a minute, you are...?"

Shao Yun saw that Babel had noticed him, and he said slowly, "We should have met before. Sesos and I stayed at your place for one night a few days ago."

After Shao Yun's reminder, Babel immediately recalled what happened that day. A boy from the Temple of Silence came here with a tall and mighty man to stay overnight.

"Oh! I remember now. May I ask why you come to visit me again this time?" Babel's voice came, and her tone became obviously much softer.

Partly it was for Sesos's sake (even though she didn't have much respect for the guys in the Temple of Silence).

On the other hand, it is because of the unique aura that Shao Yun himself exudes, which is elusive and unique.

At this time, Shao Yun was wearing a set of clothes and pants from the Eastern Legend suit, but he was wearing a black gambler's hat on his head, which did not trigger the deterrent power of the Eastern Legend suit.

However, even so, the physiological fear caused by the "-6" honor value in the Xumi area still made Babel, the ruthless femme fatale, feel deeply afraid, and thus became a little wary.

However, Shao Yun is not here to go to the camp right now, so Babel is still safe.

"It's not me who has something to do, it's Jade. She wants to tell you something." Shao Yun explained while waving his hands gently.

Then, he sent a hint to Jade with his eyes, and lowered his voice to remind her quietly: "Jade, the next step is up to you."

So Jade walked up and started talking to Babel.

When Jade introduced her father "Gabriel" to Babel in detail, Babel suppressed the hatred in her heart and then said with pretended emotion.

"Gabriel, there is indeed such a person in the tribal records. But it was a long, long time ago."

After saying this, Babel began to think secretly in her heart.

Since Shao Yun was also present at this time, she decided to change her previous cold attitude and show a warm and hospitable look.

Babel smiled and said to Jade in a friendly tone: "But no matter what, you have our blood flowing in your veins. You are a member of our tribe! Welcome back to this big family, Jade."

Hearing that Babel accepted her without hesitation, Jade's mood instantly became happy.

She has been immersed in grief these days since her father passed away, but now she finally feels a sense of warmth and belonging.

Unable to hide her excitement, she happily responded, "Thank you, Chief Babel!"

At this time, Babel folded her arms in front of her chest, straightened her body slightly, looked at Jade in a friendly manner, and corrected her: "Just call me Madam Babel, there is no need to use such an unfamiliar title as leader."

"I would rather you treat me like a mother."

Jade was deeply moved by Babel's intimate words. She nodded and said, "Yes, Madam Babel!"

At this moment, the distance between the two seemed to have shortened a lot, as if they were really mother and daughter.

Seeing Jade's surprised and flattered expression, Babel's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a satisfied smile.

"In that case, without further ado, let's hold a grand welcoming banquet for you tonight!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Paimeng, who had been silent beside him, suddenly brightened up his eyes, and a stream of crystal clear saliva slowly flowed down the corner of his mouth.

"A welcoming party? Wow! Will there be lots of delicious food?"

Babel turned around when she heard the voice, her eyes fell on Paimon who was floating beside Ying, trying to make herself look more amiable.

"Yes, there will be a variety of delicious food at the banquet, and you are the distinguished guests of our tribe, so I sincerely invite you to join us."

Hearing the invitation from Babel herself, Paimon spun in circles in the air with joy.

She turned around impatiently and looked at Ying beside her, and said expectantly, "Wow, there are delicious foods! Ying, and Shao Yun, shall we join in?"

At this moment, Paimeng had already seen the table full of delicious food waving at her.

Ying first glanced at the enthusiastic Paimon, then turned her gaze to Babel.

She thought that with Shao Yun by her side, there shouldn't be any unexpected situations.

Thinking of this, Ying smiled slightly and said to Babel: "Well, since Madam Babel has invited us, we will obey your order. Thank you for your trouble in making the arrangements."
