Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat
Chapter 504 Jade's Progress
The four of them sat around a simple cloth mat and began to enjoy their breakfast.
Although Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng were regarded as distinguished guests of the tribe and received warm hospitality, they were in a resource-scarce environment like the desert, so even the best items that could be provided to them were of relatively limited variety.
Therefore, the canned foods brought by Shao Yun became the most precious delicacies.
Because of this, Jade would often look for opportunities to come over and have a meal together.
Just as everyone was eating breakfast, Ying suddenly stopped what she was doing and gently sniffed the smell emanating from her body.
She frowned and muttered, "Oh, I think I need to take a good bath..."
Jade, who was chewing peach flesh beside her, turned her head to look at Ying in confusion when she heard this, and asked incoherently: "Didn't you take a bath with me four days ago? Why do you want to take a bath again?"
Ying opened her mouth in surprise and asked in disbelief, "What? It's been four days since I last took a shower? Time flies!"
She couldn't help but feel helpless, and then complained: "No wonder I always feel like I have a strange smell on my body."
However, Jade doesn't think so.
She quickly put down the food in her hand, put her face close to Ying, and sniffed the scent of Ying with her nose.
Then, she said seriously, "There's no smell at all, it's still fragrant!"
After saying that, he winked at Ying mischievously.
Ying was startled by Jade's sudden action, and then she blushed and said angrily: "Jade, what are you doing? You scared me by doing this all of a sudden!"
Jade stuck out her tongue playfully and said, "Hehe, sorry, I just wanted to confirm for you, really, you don't have any smell at all, just put your mind at ease."
However, Ying really couldn't figure out whether what Jade said was true or just a lie to comfort herself...
"So when will we take a shower next time?"
Jade tilted her head, thought seriously for a while, and then replied: "Let me think about it... um, it should be tomorrow."
"We can take a bath every five days. This is a privilege given to us by the Madam."
"If it were other girls in the tribe, they would usually have to take a bath once a week; as for the boys, it would take ten days!"
Having said that, Jade seemed to suddenly think of something and began to mutter to herself casually.
"Ah, this is why I don't like playing with the boys in the tribe..."
Hearing this, Shao Yun on the side thought: Jie De, do you dare to swear that you don't want to play with them just because they smell?
Are you sure you don't have any special feelings for my Ying?
When Ying heard that it was already four days ago when she took a bath, she couldn't help but sighed with emotion: "Four days! Time has passed so quickly."
Jade, who was standing by, took another big bite of the juicy peach flesh in the can and responded while chewing, "That's right, you have been with me to the Tanit tribe for two months!"
At this moment, Paimon suddenly interrupted and asked curiously: "Jade, how have you been these days? Are you used to it?"
Jade quickly put down the can of peaches in her hand and nodded hurriedly, "Very good! Madam Babel is very kind to me, especially in the past month. I have been by her side almost every day to help her with things."
"My mistress treats me with all her heart, just like her own daughter."
At this point, Jade couldn't help but reveal a trace of longing on her face, and then continued with expectation: "Maybe one day in the future I can be as lucky as Asarig and be adopted by the mistress!"
Hearing this, Paimon cheered with joy: "Wow, Jade, that's great, I'm really happy for you!"
As the saying goes, Speak of the devil and he will appear. Asarig happened to come to the tent where Jade lived and shouted loudly inside: "Little cat, where are you hiding in the tent?"
Not getting any response, Asarig frowned and muttered to himself.
"Isn't it here?"
With doubts, he carefully lifted the curtain of Jade's tent and looked inside.
As he expected, the tent was empty and there was not a single person in sight.
"Hmm...it seems like she's really not here." Asarig said to himself, "Well, then she should be in the tent next to it."
Thinking of this, he turned and walked towards the tent where Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng were resting.
Walking to the front of the tent, Asarig stretched out his hand and suddenly opened the curtain.
Sure enough, he saw Jie De sitting on the ground with Shao Yun and others, happily enjoying the food!
Asarige shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile: "I knew you would be here. You always like to run to the next tent to have fun during your break."
After saying this, he realized that he had been a little rash, and quickly turned around to sincerely apologize to Shao Yun and the other three.
"I am so sorry, dear guests, I didn't mean to disturb your meal. Please forgive me."
At this time, Jade raised her head and her eyes fell on Asarig, who was standing at the door of the tent with a slightly awkward look on his face. She asked curiously, "What's the matter, Brother Asarig? What do you want from me?"
Asarige pointed behind himself and explained, "The mistress wants to see you about something. I just saw that the mistress looked very serious. I think this matter should be quite important."
Upon hearing this, Jade immediately put down the cutlery in her hand, swallowed the remaining peach flesh in the can in two or three bites, then stood up and spoke.
"Okay, I'll go over and take a look. I'll be leaving first." After saying that, she wiped her mouth with the back of her hand and hurried to find Babel.
After Jade left, Asarig did not leave with Jade as expected.
Instead, his eyes were drawn to the food placed on the mat inside the tent.
He was so used to seeing stewed crocodile meat and things like that that he had no interest in it at all.
What really attracted him was the fruity aroma in the air.
"Your breakfast looks delicious. The aroma of crocodile meat makes me drool!"
Although Asarig praised the crocodile meat verbally, in fact he could not take his eyes away from the fresh peach meat in the cans of peaches.
Shao Yun observed Asarig's every move, and he didn't have much affection for this mistress of Madam Babel.
But then again, after more than two months of getting along, Asarig did leave a pretty good impression on Ying and Paimon.
Maybe now that the Fatui have evacuated, these guys are "okay" now?
Besides, how other tribes live is their own business and has nothing to do with you.
Shao Yun casually pulled out a can of vegetables from the Eastern Legend backpack on his waist, threw it to Asarig, and said, "Look, the can of peaches is gone. I only have this can of peas left."
Asarig stared at the can of vegetables in his hand and was extremely happy.
However, he still said very politely: "Oh, this...haha, this is so embarrassing!"
Shao Yun's expression remained calm as he responded calmly, "No big deal, take it. After all, you have been taking good care of Jade, Ying, and Paimeng these days."
Hearing this, Asarig was secretly delighted in his heart, but on the surface he looked like he had gotten an advantage and was acting like a good kid, laughing as he spoke.
"Haha, in that case, I will respectfully obey your command. Thank you very much!"
After saying that, he carefully put the can of vegetables into his arms, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch it away.
However, after gaining such a huge advantage, Asarig felt that he should show some appreciation.
So, he came up with a plan and quickly said, "Oh, by the way! Recently, there are some very novel and interesting gadgets in Adelphi."
"If you have time, you can go and take a look. If you see something you like, just take it. I'll pay for it."
As soon as he finished speaking, a prompt suddenly popped up on Shao Yun's system.
【You have been given a chance to select products for free. 】
After hearing this, Shao Yun just responded casually.
"Yeah, okay, I get it. I'll go check it out when I have time."
Afterwards, Asarig hurriedly left Shao Yun's place, taking the can of peas as if he had hidden gold and silver treasures.
Not long after Asarig left, Jade rushed into the tent in a hurry.
As soon as she saw Ying, she couldn't wait to shout out, "Ying, I have great news to tell you!"
Ying looked at Jade's agitated expression, raised her hand to signal her to calm down, and then asked, "What's wrong? Jade."
Jade calmed down her excitement and said, "The thing is, Madam Babel agreed to let me bury my father's and mother's remains in the 'Eternal Oasis'."
When Paimon heard that there was finally progress, he exclaimed, "Huh? 'Eternal Oasis'... So this place really exists? I thought it was just a place name in legend."
Jade nodded and briefly explained the whole story.
"Well, two months ago I told Madam Babel about the Eternal Oasis... To put it simply, Madam Babel told me today that it is located in the middle of this desert..."
"The Tanit people believe that beneath the everlasting sandstorm in the middle of the desert is the 'eternal oasis'."
“It’s just that the area has been blocked by the Tanit tribe as a forbidden area. Except for patrolling scouts, outsiders are not allowed to approach it casually.
When Paimon heard the word "taboo", he couldn't help but frowned and asked nervously: "Taboo... is it dangerous there?"
Jade nodded solemnly and answered in a serious tone, "Yes, it is indeed very dangerous. According to legend, that place has been occupied by ancient and evil spirits for many years. They wander around and specialize in absorbing human souls and flesh to enhance their own power...
"It sounds incredible! Anyway, I don't believe it. In my opinion, the so-called danger is just a strong sandstorm and some common monsters."
