Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat
Chapter 513: Babel's lackey "Marcela"
Ying was now afraid that Shao Yun would suddenly change his mind, so she quickly changed the subject and asked, "Let's not talk about this for now. By the way, what was the second thing you mentioned before? Tell me about it!"
Shao Yun talked about the second thing.
"Actually, this is what happened. Babel knew we were leaving here, so she came to me to discuss something with me. What she meant was..."
Having said that, Shao Yun's gaze involuntarily fell on the bottle of Lilupal.
At this time, Lilupal noticed Shao Yun's gaze, and as if facing a formidable enemy, he quickly dodged and hid behind Ying.
Then she leaned out her upper body and started cursing at Shao Yun.
"Humph! Absolutely impossible! Don't even think about handing me over to that vicious woman! Let me tell you, that hateful woman is just like a dead fish that exudes a disgusting stench!"
Lilupal originally wanted to say that if you get involved with her, you will also rot and stink, but because Ying was still there, he didn't say it.
Seeing that Lilupal was getting anxious, Shao Yun quickly explained with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid and dictatorial! I've already told you to let Babel talk to Ying herself."
Ying shook her head repeatedly and said firmly, "No, no! I will never hand over Lilupal! At worst, we can just take Lilupal with us on the journey, right?"
"We can all afford Paimon, so why should we be afraid that we can't afford Lilupal? What's more, Lilupal seems to be more economical than Paimon!"
Hearing this, Lilupa was overjoyed and his voice trembled with excitement.
"It is my great honor to recognize you as my master!"
Seeing Lilupal's ecstatic look, Shao Yun joked to Paimeng beside him: "Wow, it seems that Paimeng's competitor has appeared."
Paimon blinked and looked at Shao Yun, totally unable to understand why a simple bottle like Lilupal could be considered a competitor.
She was so angry that her cheeks were puffed up. She put her hands on her hips and shouted indignantly: "Humph, are you kidding me? How can Lilupal replace Paimon? She is not as cute and charming as me!"
After hearing this, Shao Yun couldn't help but nodded slightly, then stretched out his right hand and touched his chin.
His eyes first fell on Lilupal, looking him up and down carefully, then he turned to look at Paimon, a smile appeared on his face, and he slowly spoke.
"Well, that's true. After all, I can't treat a bottle as my precious daughter."
As soon as he finished speaking, Paimeng's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide, and he was speechless for a moment.
After a long while, she came to her senses, shook her head helplessly and spread her hands.
"Oh... Never mind, I've long been accustomed to you taking advantage of others from time to time."
"But, no matter what you say, I will never call you 'Dad'. It's too embarrassing!"
……
A week passed in the blink of an eye.
On the surface, Babel did as she had said before and handed over some of the power to manage the tribe to Jade.
It really seems like he is cultivating Jade with all his heart and regards her as his successor.
Jade herself was also very hardworking and in order to repay the tribe, she devoted herself wholeheartedly and actively prepared for her upcoming tribal coming-of-age ceremony assessment.
During this period, Ying and Jade snatched the energy conversion container from the Fatui, and Benben regained his vitality.
It is worth mentioning that after Ying and Jade obtained the energy conversion container from the Fatui, something was wrong with Marcela.
When he looked at Ying, he always had a vague hostility towards her.
On the surface, everything seems to be on the normal track, but beneath the calm appearance, there are undercurrents and crises everywhere.
……
On such an ordinary day, Shao Yunduan picked up a cup of coffee brewed with coffee powder and stood leisurely outside the tent.
Everything seemed so peaceful, the only flaw was that Ying and Paimon disappeared early this morning, and even Jade didn't know why.
"It's so strange. Ying and Paimeng disappeared early in the morning. Where did they go?" Shao Yun muttered as he slowly sipped the coffee in his cup.
Did they go to Xumi City to take on the daily commission? If I had known, I would have asked them to bring back some coffee beans...
Just as he was about to turn around and go back to the tent, suddenly, a figure appeared before him like lightning.
Looking closely, Ying came back with an angry look on her face. It was worth mentioning that there were a few stains of bright red blood on her fair cheeks, which looked shocking.
Shao Yun was shocked when he saw this, thinking Ying was injured, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern: "What's going on? Ying, where is the blood on your face?"
Ying's eyes were stubborn and determined, as if she didn't hear Shao Yun's question at all, and she shouted to herself: "Where is Marcela! Shao Yun, have you seen him?"
At this time, Ying was wearing the "Cowboy Gunslinger Girl" suit, holding two Schofield revolvers, one gold and one silver, in her hands, exuding a fierce murderous aura.
Shao Yun guessed that this appearance of Ying must be related to Tadala's matter...
But he asked again: "What happened?"
Facing Shao Yun's questioning, Ying clenched his teeth tightly, his facial muscles twitched slightly, and the whole person seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit, and he just kept repeating the same sentence over and over again.
"I must find Marcela!"
Shao Yun grabbed Ying's shoulders and shook her with all his strength. He asked again in an anxious voice, "What happened? Tell me quickly!"
After being shaken like this, Ying finally came back to her senses from her trance.
She raised her head and her gaze slowly focused on Shao Yun, who looked worried.
He took a deep breath, as if suppressing all the emotions in his heart, and then he opened his mouth and told Shao Yun everything that had happened between him and Tadela in the past few days.
However, the difference is that Ying's acquaintance with Tadella was not due to Marcela's commission.
This time, it was Ying who took the initiative to find Masaila.
Originally, Ying wanted to learn more about the coming-of-age ceremony assessment of the Tanit tribe so that she could provide some valuable reference opinions and help to Jade in the future.
In this way, during the communication with Marcela, Ying accidentally learned about Tadela.
Afterwards, Ying established a connection with Tadala and gradually became familiar with each other.
Having said this, Ying pursed her lips tightly, her eyes turned red and tears welled up in her eyes.
After a moment, she reached out her hand tremblingly, carefully took out the "Feather of Tadella", and said with a sob: "Tadella taught me how to dissect the prey better, and we became friends."
"But Marcela instructed her to kill me, but Tadela didn't want to kill me and deliberately lost to me..."
Before she finished her words, Ying suddenly threw herself into Shao Yun's arms and burst into tears like a child who had suffered great injustice.
She sobbed and continued to speak intermittently: "I really never thought of killing Tadela. She was deceived by Marcela! I wanted to save her life."
"But when she realized that I couldn't bear to kill her, she rushed towards my sword without hesitation... and then she never woke up again..."
Shao Yun gently stroked Ying's silky hair, narrowed his eyes slightly, and murmured to himself: "Tadela..."
Although Shao Yun didn't have much friendship with Tadela, since she became Ying's friend, Shao Yun still felt a little sorry for her death...
However, the benefit is still huge. Ying should not have any psychological burden when killing people from the Tanit tribe in the future.
Just then, Jade came back from her morning exercise.
When she saw Ying quietly nestling in Shao Yun's warm arms and sobbing softly.
She rushed forward in two steps and asked anxiously, "Ying, what's wrong with you... Is someone bullying you? I'll teach the bully a lesson right now!"
Paimon on the side quickly told Jade the whole story in detail.
After hearing the news, Jade was so angry that every hair on her body stood up. She gnashed her teeth and yelled, "What a Marcela! No wonder he was in such a hurry this morning. So this is what happened!"
Then, Jade looked at Ying and made a promise with a firm look on her face.
"Ying, don't worry, I'll kill him right now! Anyone who dares to attack you, I will kill him!"
Then, Jade prepared to search for Marcela's whereabouts in the desert like a needle in a haystack.
Shao Yun quickly stopped Jie De and said, "Okay, let me handle this matter, Jie De."
Upon hearing that Shao Yun was planning to deal with Marcela personally, Jade looked worried and seemed to want to say something.
"Can……"
She had just uttered a word when Shao Yun didn't even give her a chance to finish her words. He interrupted her and said, "No buts! This is settled!"
……
In the blink of an eye, it was already night after a day.
In the desert of Qianhe Sandland, there is a makeshift camp.
At this time, Marcela, who had fled here in a miserable state like a frightened bird, was curled up beside the campfire.
He was seen holding a wooden stick tightly in his hand, absentmindedly stirring the steaming dinner in the pot.
Just as Marcela looked up at the twinkling stars in the night sky, racking his brains to think about what to do next, suddenly, a familiar and chilling voice sounded behind him.
"Mr. Marcella, it's really rude of you to leave without saying goodbye."
Hearing the voice, Marcela was struck by lightning. His whole body trembled violently, and then he stood up straight as if there was a spring under his butt.
Then, he turned around quickly, his face full of horror, and stammered, "How...how did you find me?"
Shao Yun did not respond. He walked straight to the blazing fire, staring at the pot that was bubbling.
After checking the dinner in the pot, Shao Yun's face instantly showed a look of obvious disgust, and he spoke sarcastically.
"Your dinner is so bland, it has no taste at all. Boiled crocodile meat in plain water? I can't bear to feed Paimon like this. Your mouth must be suffering..."
Marcela knew why Shao Yun came here without having to guess. He hurriedly explained: "Don't rush to mock me, listen to me! I did this for a reason. Madam Babel asked me to do this!"
Shao Yun did not answer, but just stared at him.
After a while, Shao Yun added casually.
"I remember I said that people should know themselves."
Upon hearing this, cold sweat broke out on Marcela's forehead. He knew very well that if he didn't come up with a foolproof plan to save his life at this moment, he would probably die in the next second.
So, he thought quickly and immediately proposed a plan to Shao Yun, which he thought was perfect.
"Listen!" Marcela approached Shao Yun with a flattering look on her face and said in a low voice, "I can go back with you to confront Babel face to face."
"Then we can throw all the dirty water on her, and then work together to get rid of her. Then I will come forward to support Jade as the new mistress of the tribe. What do you think?"
Shao Yun stood there expressionlessly, his right hand seemingly casually resting on the cowboy revolver in the holster at his waist.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and responded in an extremely bored tone: "I have no interest in the intrigues and struggles within your tribe..."
As he spoke, he slightly emphasized his tone.
"And to tell you the truth, if I really wanted to, I could kill you all easily in the time it takes to smoke a cigar."
Marcela's heart sank when she heard this, but she soon thought of another possibility.
He hurriedly continued to persuade: "Could it be because of that woman Babel?"
"Don't be fooled by her pretty face and hot body! Although she looks pretty, she's as vicious as a snake!"
"As an outstanding man like you, there is no woman in the world that you can't get. Why would you risk your life for such a vicious woman?"
Marcela became more and more excited as he spoke, and seemed to have completely forgotten that he was in danger.
However, Shao Yun just rolled his eyes at him and sneered, "Who do you think I am? If I couldn't control myself, there would be girls pregnant with my illegitimate children by now..."
Shao Yun stretched out his left hand, gently moved his fingers, and began to give examples.
"For example, Noelle... Oh... No, she's just a child... Then there are only Ningguang and Yae Shenzi left..."
However, Shao Yun suddenly felt nauseous and quickly changed his words: "Pooh! Pooh! Pooh! What disgusting things were I talking about? You almost led me astray!"
Then, he calmed himself down, turned to Marcela again, and asked in a serious tone: "I say, why do you think I killed you because of Babel's stinky 'fish'?"
Faced with Shao Yun's unwavering attitude, Masaila became more and more anxious.
Seeing that there was no hope of begging for mercy, he had no choice but to continue begging: "Please spare my life! As long as you spare my life, I will definitely play a greater role in the future to repay you!"
Hearing this, Shao Yun's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a slightly sarcastic smile, and slowly said: "Oh? Really? Then in your opinion, what is your greatest role now?"
After a short pause, Shao Yun stared at Marcela and said word by word: "I tell you, your greatest use now is to become an experience baby for Ying to improve the level of the Eye of Death."
"What do you think? Should I tie you up and take you back so that Ying can practice her marksmanship?"
After saying that, Shao Yun seemed to have thought of something, shook his head gently, and denied his previous thought.
"Hmm... but if you think about it carefully, this seems a bit of a thankless task. Anyway, Ying will have a lot of experience in the future. After all, each of you tribe members will become Ying's experience bag..."
Masaila listened to Shao Yun's increasingly frightening words, and swallowed nervously, saying, "What are you talking about? What is the Eye of Death? Why are you telling me these things I don't understand?"
Shao Yun scratched his ear with his little finger and said, "Because I'm talking to a dead person!"
Then, Shao Yun slowly took out John's cowboy revolver and said calmly: "Now, let's talk about eggplant."
