Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 505 Literally alligator feed?

After listening to Jie De's detailed story, Ying smiled and said to her: "Anyway, I still want to congratulate Jie De for finally making some progress."

Jade smiled and thanked him, then added: "Well, this is for both my long-cherished wish and the future of the tribe. The mistress just told me that the secret of the Mistress of Flowers is buried there."

"If these secrets can be discovered...it will definitely bring new opportunities for the tribe's survival in the desert."

As Jade spoke, she stared closely into Ying's eyes and made a sincere invitation.

"I know this is my mission and honor...but I sincerely hope you can stay by my side and witness this historic moment for the tribe together."

Then, Jade's cheeks turned red, and she shyly reached out her hand and gently scratched her cheeks, then spoke a little shyly.

"After all... after my father passed away, you are my most trusted friends and the people closest to my family... That's why I want you to go with me, okay?"

Ying nodded and agreed readily.

"Ah, of course there is no problem! After you have properly buried your parents' belongings, I believe you, Jade, will be able to settle down and start a new life in the Tanit tribe."

As soon as the voice fell, Jade, who was originally nervous, suddenly smiled and said excitedly: "Really? That's great! Thank you!"

Then, Jade rushed forward, hugged Ying tightly, and rubbed her face against Ying's affectionately.

After the two of them had been joking around for a while, Jade stopped smiling and returned to the topic seriously, saying slowly, "First, we need to go to the ruins of Gul City to look for the 'Soul-Suppressing Fragment'."

After hearing this, Ying asked suspiciously, "Spirit-suppressing fragments? What are they?"

In response to Ying's question, Jade shook her head in confusion, scratched the back of her head, and answered truthfully.

"I don't really understand. The mistress told me that according to the tribe's stories, only she knows how to open the road to the 'Eternal Oasis'."

Jade didn't know how to describe this, and could only say distressedly: "Well... this is all the information I can provide. Asarig should be able to tell you more. So... shall we set off now?"

At this moment, Shao Yun, who had been listening to their conversation quietly, suddenly asked, "Do you need me to accompany you?"

At this moment, Jade's face showed some embarrassment.

She first subconsciously turned her head to look at Ying beside her, then gently pursed her lips, as if she was considering how to answer.

After a while, Jade slowly opened her mouth and politely declined Shao Yun's kindness.

"Uh... that, the mistress specially arranged for Asarig to escort me, so you don't have to worry about safety issues at all."

"And to be honest, you are a distinguished guest of the Tanit tribe. From the perspective of ensuring your own safety... I personally think it is best for you to stay in the tribe safely."

However, Shao Yun did not give up the idea because of Jie De's words.

On the contrary, he continued confidently: "My skills are not inferior to Ying's at all!"

"Although I have spent most of the past two months sitting above the canyon admiring the scenery, please don't underestimate me!"

Hearing Shao Yun's firm statement, Jie De suddenly became even more at a loss.

She opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't find the right words to refuse Shao Yun again.

Therefore, he could only stammer and answer with great embarrassment: "This... this..."

Seeing Jie De looking embarrassed and not knowing how to respond, Shao Yun turned his head and cast his gaze to Ying beside him and asked, "Ying, what do you think?"

For Shao Yun, Jade's attitude is not the key point. What really matters is Ying's inner thoughts.

Ying was also unsure at this time and found it difficult to make a decision for a while.

After hesitating for a moment, she decided to ask Jade for details first.

"This... How many days will it take for us to come back from this trip?"

At this time, Jade was racking her brains to think of a way to keep Shao Yun in the Tanit tribe.

When she suddenly heard Ying ask such a question, she came back to her senses, but because she was too nervous and anxious, she began to stutter.

"Uh... well, it's hard to say."

"However, it shouldn't take too long... After all, we are just looking for the so-called 'Spiritual Suppression Fragment'. I think it won't take too long to return."

After hearing Jade's vague answer, Ying pondered for a while. If it really didn't take too long as Jade said, then the three of them, Jade, and Asarig, would be enough to deal with all kinds of situations that might be encountered on this trip.

Thinking of this, Ying raised her head, smiled at Shao Yun, and said, "Well, Shao Yun, you don't have to worry. I think with me, Jade, and Asarig, it should be enough."

When Jie De heard Ying say that she didn't need Shao Yun's help, her heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and a look of relief unconsciously appeared on her face.

Shao Yun saw that Ying had made up her mind and didn't need him to accompany her, although he still had some concerns in his heart, he still respected Ying's choice.

"In that case, then fine. But you must be more careful out there!"

Jade was worried that Ying or Shao Yun would suddenly change their minds, so she quickly grabbed Ying's hand and ran out of the tent.

While running, Jade did not forget to make excuses and said, "Then let's not delay any longer, let's go!"

Paimon watched Jade take Ying away in a flash, and quickly chased after her, shouting, "Hey, wait for me!"

……

Just like that, Ying, Paimon and Jade went out.

Shao Yun went to find Adelphi to claim the privilege of purchasing an item for free that Asarig had promised him.

After a while, Shao Yun arrived in front of Adelphi's tent.

At this moment, Adelphi had his back to him, concentrating on checking his goods.

Shao Yun walked up and said, "Hello, Mr. Adelphi. Asarig said you have a new batch of good things. He said I can pick one from them and the cost will be charged to his account."

Hearing the voice, Adelphi slowly turned around and nodded in agreement.

"Well, no problem. Since Asarig agreed, just go ahead and take a look."

As he spoke, he pointed to a piece of cloth spread out beside him, on which were placed a dazzling array of various goods.

Shao Yun looked in the direction Adelphi pointed, scanning the goods one by one.

However, when he saw the pile of things in front of him, he couldn't help showing obvious disgust on his face, frowning and saying: "Uh... are you sure these are the so-called good things?"

The moment Shao Yun's words full of disgust reached Adelphi's ears, he was stunned. He quickly put down the work at hand and hurriedly began to explain.

"How can this not be good stuff? There are all kinds of treasures in here! Like cosmetics, luxury goods, clothing and toys, as well as fresh agricultural products and practical farm tools, and even some sophisticated gadgets!"

"And you know, some of these items were obtained from Xumi City with great difficulty, while others were imported from Fontainebleau across the ocean!"

Shao Yun listened to Adelphi's endless introduction and casually glanced at the dazzling array of goods.

When his eyes fell on the cosmetics, he thought, "Well, maybe Jade or Ying would be interested in these things. But then again, Ying seems to be wearing no makeup at all, and I've never seen her wear makeup..."

Then, he turned his attention to the so-called luxury goods area, where he saw a pile of colorful gems.

However, Shao Yun just took a quick look and couldn't help muttering in his heart.

"Why do these gems look more and more like the fake emeralds given by that fake female animal trainer 'Margaret'?"

Looking at those sophisticated gadgets that Adelphi praised to be so miraculous, Shao Yun felt even more speechless.

In his eyes, it was just a pile of disorganized and worn-out parts, and it was hard to see how it could be called "precision".

Perhaps for the desert residents who have been living a tribal life for a long time, these are already very advanced and sophisticated gadgets, but for Shao Yun, they are really not very attractive.

Finally, Shao Yun's attention finally stopped on agricultural products.

Compared with other commodities, these agricultural products seem to be quite pleasing to the eye.

After looking at it carefully, he reached out and picked up a box of beautifully packaged Dun Dun peaches.

There are four round, plump and attractively colored peaches neatly stacked in the box, which looks pretty good.

Shao Yun nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Adelphi: "Okay, then I'll take this box of Dun Dun peaches."

Adelphi, who was standing by, couldn't help but show a surprised look when he saw this, and said with emotion: "Oh, you really have good taste! You picked the most expensive fruit right away."

When Shao Yun heard this, he was stunned at first, and then looked at the bubble oranges from Fontaine next to him.

"Are Dun Dun peaches the most expensive? I thought that Fontaine Bubble oranges imported from abroad should be more expensive."

After all, imported fruits are more expensive than Xumi's local fruits. Although the rainforest is not closer to the desert than Fontainebleau.

Listening to Shao Yun's doubts, Adelphi explained: "In the desert, fresh vegetables and fruits are very rare treasures."

"And Dun Dun peaches are harder to preserve and transport than Fontaine's bubble oranges. So even though the rain forest is closer to the tribe than Fontaine, Dun Dun peaches are still the most expensive."

After listening to Adelphi's explanation, Shao Yun nodded thoughtfully to show his understanding.

Then, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said, "No wonder Asarig was so happy to get a can of peas."

"But this time, I think he's going to bleed a lot."

Exchanging canned goods for fresh fruit seems like a losing deal no matter how you look at it...

Seeing that Shao Yun had chosen the goods, Adelphi asked casually, "I just heard some news that the mistress sent Jade and Asarig to find the holy land of the tribe, and your partner seemed to have gone with them... Why didn't you go with them?"

Shao Yun shook his head gently, a hint of confusion on his face, and responded: "No, what's wrong?"

Seeing this, Adelphi quickly said, "Nothing. By the way, since you have some free time now, can you do me a small favor?"

"Don't worry, I will definitely not let your efforts go in vain!"

Shao Yun followed Adelphi's gaze and saw a pile of goods next to his tent.

After thinking for a while, he guessed, "Hmm... let me guess, do you want me to do some errands or something like that?"

Adelphi smiled and nodded.

"Haha, you got it right."

Then he bent down and began to rummage through the pile of goods.

After a while, he found a box of bandages and handed it to Shao Yun.

"This box of bandages was ordered by Marcela," Adelphi explained. "Tadela's recent training was too intense and he got injured accidentally. But in order not to delay the subsequent training process, he asked me to buy some bandages for emergency use."

Hearing that Tadela insisted on training despite being injured, Shao Yun couldn't help but frown and asked with concern: "Since you are already injured, shouldn't you take a good rest and recuperate?"

"Besides, bandages alone may not be enough. Don't we need to prepare some medicine?"

Adelphi shrugged helplessly, spread his hands and said, "I just purchased items according to the shopping list you gave me. I will buy whatever my fellow tribesmen need."

"If I buy anything else that's not on the shopping list, it will either be useless to the tribe or the mistress will accuse me of wasting Mora."

After handing the bandage to Shao Yun, Adelphi picked up a heavy bag of crocodile feed and said while panting, "Oh, by the way, there's also Youften's. He ordered a bag of crocodile feed."

When he heard the word "crocodile feed", Shao Yun immediately thought of the crocodile feed imported from Italy.

He quipped in a somewhat teasing tone: "Crocodile feed? The bag you're carrying contains 'Angelo Bronte'?"

Adelphi was stunned when he heard this.

Then he placed the bag, which looked bulging but contained no clue of what, at Shao Yun's feet. He then asked in confusion, "Hmm? Who is the person you just mentioned?"

Shao Yun was afraid that he might accidentally say something wrong and cause unnecessary trouble, so he quickly waved his hands and shook his head, quickly changed the subject and asked: "Nothing, let's not talk about this. By the way, are there any other packages that need my help?"

Adelphi stretched out his right hand and scratched his messy hair, muttering softly: "Let me think about it carefully... It seems that there should be nothing else..."

Just as Shao Yun was about to leave with the crocodile feed, Adelphi slapped his forehead as if he suddenly remembered something extremely important.

"Oh, my, my memory is so bad! I almost forgot the important matter. Here is Madam Babel's package!"

As he spoke, Adelphi bent down and began to rummage through the pile of packages.

Not long after, Adelphi successfully found a small square box from among the many packages.

He held it in his palm, and then handed it to Shao Yun solemnly, and repeatedly reminded him: "Remember, don't peek into the box!"

"If Madam Babel finds out that someone has touched her package, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Shao Yun took the box, made a joke calmly, and said, "Don't worry, I don't have the habit of peeking at other people's privacy, unless it's a letter."

Then, Shao Yun muttered inexplicably: "I have traveled all over the world and built up a great reputation for myself...

When Adelphi heard Shao Yun's inexplicable words, he asked in confusion: "What are you talking about? What sea and reputation?"

Shao Yun calmly put the box of bandages and Babel's goods into the backpack at his waist and said, "Nothing."

Afterwards, Shao Yun picked up the big bag of crocodile feed and said, "I'm leaving first."
