Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng left Amber's house and strolled along the bustling streets of Mondstadt. The sun shone through the clouds, adding some vitality to this ancient city.

Walking along the main road, there are many shops on both sides. Because the problem of the wind dragon has been solved, everyone doesn't have to worry every day.

It was clearly daytime, but the noise in the tavern was louder than at night. Taking advantage of the disappearance of the dragon disaster, the drinkers inside began to drink day and night.

It is estimated that the tax revenue of Mond Wine Industry will double, but the number of drunken troublemakers may also increase, and the Knights will be needed to patrol more frequently.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the city gate. Shao Yun suddenly stopped and turned to look at Ying, with a serious look in his eyes. He said softly, "Ying, I remember I said I would teach you how to ride a horse, right?"

Ying was stunned when she heard this, and the scene of Shao Yun mentioning this before appeared in her mind. She shrugged helplessly and smiled, "Ah? You really remember it." As she spoke, she seemed to remember the experience of riding a horse with Shao Yun to Chenxi Winery, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on her face.

“Can I not learn…” Ying muttered, trying to avoid this seemingly daunting task.

However, Shao Yun shook his head firmly and said, "It is always good to learn one more skill. Unexpected things happen. What if one day..."

At this point, Shao Yun suddenly paused. Not wanting to sound too serious, he quickly changed the subject and said with a smile, "Just learn it. I won't hurt you! I'll get the horse out right away."

After saying that, Shao Yun was ready to summon horses from the mobile stable in the system. However, at this critical moment, he thought of a key problem.

He looked back at Ying and Paimon who were staring at him curiously, and frowned.

"Old rules, close your eyes and don't peek!"

Seeing that their plan had failed, Ying and Paimeng quickly closed their eyes.

Seeing Ying and Paimeng close their eyes obediently, Shao Yun took a deep breath, opened the system interface, and prepared to summon the horse. However, to his surprise, no matter how he operated, the horse could not be successfully summoned.

Shao Yun's heart tightened and he turned around to look at Ying and Paimeng who were covering their eyes. Aren't these two people closing their eyes?

He frowned and began to carefully check the system interface, trying to find out what the problem was.

After some searching, he finally discovered the source of the problem. It turned out that Paimon did not close his eyes completely.

Paimon covered his eyes openly, but secretly left a gap between his fingers, trying to peek at Shao Yun's movements.

Seeing this, Shao Yun shook his head helplessly and muttered to himself: "This little guy is really naughty."

Shao Yun sighed helplessly, walked to Paimeng and patted her shoulder gently.

Paimeng felt Shao Yun's touch and immediately opened his eyes, pretending to respond to his dissatisfied gaze with an innocent look.

Shao Yun glared at her and said, "I told you not to peek, why don't you listen?"

Paimon stuck out his tongue, knowing that he was exposed, and lowered his head in embarrassment.

Shao Yun shook his head and tried to summon the horse again.

This time, Ying and Paimon closed their eyes completely and successfully got their Andalusian horse "Luo Bo" out.

"Open your eyes."

As he finished speaking, Ying and Paimon slowly opened their eyes, and what came into view was the same light pink Andalusian horse from last time.

Ying couldn't help but think of the experience of going to Chenxi Winery with Shao Yun a few days ago. The nervousness and uneasiness during the horse riding came to her mind again. She waved her hands fearfully and backed out.

"No, I think Mondstadt is the only place in Teyvat where you can ride a horse. Other places either have monsters or you can't ride a horse."

Let’s not talk about the fact that we are in Mondstadt now, let’s just talk about “Luo Bo”. This girl is a war horse, she is very brave, and she won’t panic when encountering monsters. What is she afraid of?

Seeing Ying flinching, Shao Yun said persistently, "Come on, I'll teach you. Don't worry, I'll be fine with me here."

After all, he is a man who has completed the rider's challenge, so it is not an exaggeration to call himself a master of equestrianism.

Shao Yun stretched out his arm, passed through Ying's armpit, and gently lifted her onto the horse's back. Ying sat on the saddle reluctantly, but still held the reins tightly, looking at Shao Yun with a bitter face.

Shao Yun smiled and comforted him: "Don't be nervous, hold on to the reins tightly, don't let go."

However, "Lobo" seemed to sense that the person on its back was not the familiar Shao Yun, and immediately raised its front hooves, trying to throw the new rider off its back.

Ying was frightened by this sudden movement and panicked. She hugged the horse's neck tightly and screamed loudly: "Ah!"

Seeing this, Shao Yun immediately stretched out his hand and patted the horse's neck to calm her down.

"Girl, calm down, calm down."

With Shao Yun's comfort, the horse gradually calmed down and no longer tried to shake Ying off its back.

Shao Yun looked at Ying who was still a little frightened, took out a bright red apple from his backpack, handed it to Ying and said, "Don't panic, here you go."

Ying took the apple, looked at Shao Yun and said helplessly: "I'm not hungry, I don't want to eat."

After hearing this, Shao Yun slapped his forehead in embarrassment. This joke was too old-fashioned.

"It's not for you to eat, it's for feeding the horse. This way the horse will remember you and will be more obedient when you ride her next time."

Ying carefully handed the apple to the horse's mouth. The horse sniffed the apple and seemed to be very interested in the gift. It took a light bite and then ate the whole apple. After eating it, it wagged its tail, as if to express its satisfaction and joy.

Shao Yun looked at this scene, nodded approvingly, and said, "Not bad, it seems that the horse likes you very much." Then, he patted the horse's neck gently and said to Ying, "Ride forward for a while, I think it will be enough."

Ying looked at the reins in her hand, then at the horse under her. Although she was a little nervous, she still mustered up the courage to look at Shao Yun. She asked shyly, "How do we move forward?"

Shao Yun pointed at the stirrup and patiently explained: "Kick the horse's belly gently. Remember to be gentle. Otherwise, it will scare the horse."

Ying followed Shao Yun's instructions and gently kicked the horse's belly.

The horse sensed her movement and began to move forward slowly.

Shao Yun followed beside, maintaining the same speed as the horse, reminding Ying of precautions from time to time.

"Remember to use your legs to clamp the saddle and stay stable. Also, don't let the horse feel your panic. Show confidence and control. Don't lose to the horse in momentum. Let it feel that you are its master."

Shao Yun carefully explained how to ride a horse, and Ying memorized it all.

After riding the horse for more than ten steps, Ying felt okay and wanted to go faster, so he turned sideways to ask Shao Yun,

"How do you speed up?"

Shao Yun pointed at the reins and replied, "Just wave the reins and shout 'Go!'"

Ying nodded to show that she understood. She tried to wave the reins and shouted, "Gee!"

The horse sensed her intention and broke into a trot.

Ying felt the bumps brought by the horse's trot, as if she had merged with nature. She looked up at the scenery on the bridge, the mountains in the distance and the river nearby, all of which seemed so clear and vivid. This feeling made her feel excited and fulfilled, as if she had become a part of this continent.

"It feels pretty good. No wonder you, Shao Yun, like riding horses." Ying said with emotion.

Shao Yun also followed the horse's trot. After hearing Ying's words, he proudly replied, "Of course. Riding a horse can make people feel free and powerful. It's because Grand Commander Falga took away all the horses. There are few horses in Mondstadt. Otherwise, I would have caught one for you."

The two rode across the bridge and came to the field outside the city. The scenery here was more open and refreshing. Ying looked at Shao Yun and asked curiously, "Why should I stop?"

Shao Yun pointed to the reins that Ying was holding tightly in her hand and said, "Just tighten the reins and the horse will stop."

Ying followed Shao Yun's instructions and tightened the reins. The horse neighed, then gradually slowed down and finally stopped.

Ying breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she had mastered the basic skills of horse riding, and her heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.

"I think I've learned enough today. Let's hurry up and go meet Wendy."

Ying took a step back lightly, leaving space for Shao Yun to mount the horse. Shao Yun moved swiftly, jumped up, and sat firmly on the saddle. At the same time, Paimon snuggled up to Ying, holding her arms tightly with both hands.

Shao Yun turned around, his eyes moving between Paimeng and Ying, a teasing smile on his lips: "You have to hurry this time, I will still maintain the same speed as last time."

When Paimeng heard this, her face turned pale. She protested with a bitter face: "No, Shao Yun! I'm so scared."

Ying also showed a helpless smile. She looked at Shao Yun with a hint of request in her voice.

"Yes, Shao Yun, can you slow down a little? We are indeed a little scared."

Shao Yun curled his lips, seemingly not caring about their worries.

"No rainbow without rain. Haven't you had lunch yet? Your stomach is empty, so there shouldn't be anything to vomit up."

Paimon hurriedly shook his head, his face full of resistance.

"Even so, I'm afraid of getting dizzy!"

Shao Yun didn't say anything else. He gently squeezed the horse's belly, tightened the reins in his hand, and shouted loudly, "Hold on tight!"

Upon receiving the order, the horses immediately raised their heads, neighed loudly, and galloped away with their four hooves flying.

Paimon was so scared that he closed his eyes tightly, and his hands tightened around Ying's arms, causing pain, and he started screaming.

"Ahhh! Shao Yun, I would rather walk with Ying than ride a horse again!"

Shao Yun rode on "Carrot" and took Ying and Paimon on the road outside Mondstadt. The three of them cast a long shadow in the sun.

The trees were rapidly receding from sight, as if they were a retreating green ocean.

The big tree in the wind gradually came into view, and Shao Yun gently tightened the reins.

The horse's pace also slowed down. Paimon continued to shout along the way, as if he wanted to release all his fear.

Ying seemed much more mature. She no longer hugged Shao Yun tightly like last time, but just held the corner of Shao Yun's clothes tightly. Although her face was still pale, she had made great progress.

Shao Yun looked back at Ying, a gleam of relief flashed in his eyes. He smiled and nodded, praising: "Praise Ying this time for not hugging me tightly like last time."

After hearing what Shao Yun said, Ying covered her mouth, trying to hold back the urge to vomit, and said uncomfortably, "I'll take this as a compliment."

Shao Yun turned his gaze to Paimeng, frowned slightly, and said with some dissatisfaction: "But Paimeng, you are still the same, without any progress."

After hearing what Shao Yun said, Paimeng pouted unconvincedly. She protested, "What? If you slow down, I won't yell."

After hearing what Paimeng said, Shao Yun couldn't help but smile. He patted the horse's back gently, asking the horse to slow down and continue moving forward.

The three continued to move forward. The big tree in the wind was getting closer and closer. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves and onto the ground, forming patches of mottled light and shadow.

Wendy stood quietly in front of the wind god statue under the tree. His eyes seemed to travel through time and space. It was unclear whether he was looking at the tree or the statue. When the horse neighed, Wendy turned around gently and smiled at Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng. He smiled and said, "You are here."

Shao Yun looked at Wendy, a trace of doubt in his heart. He got off the horse, helped Ying down, then looked at Wendy and asked, "I have a question. If we come the next day, will you wait here too?"

When Wendy heard Shao Yun's question, he smiled and shook his head and said, "Of course. It would be nice to sit under the big tree, drink cider, and enjoy the night in Mondstadt." His tone revealed a sense of ease and comfort, as if such waiting was a kind of enjoyment for him.

After hearing Wendy's answer, Shao Yun felt relieved. He nodded and said, "Okay, you talk to Ying first. I'll talk to you in detail after you finish talking to Ying."

After saying this, Shao Yun led the horse to a big tree and sat down to rest.

Sitting on the ground, leaning against a towering tree that was blown by the wind, Luobo quietly lowered his head and ate grass, occasionally making a slight chewing sound.

Shao Yun looked up at the dense branches of the tree. The sunlight shone through the layers of green leaves and fell on his face in patches, as if covering him with a layer of golden halo.

The breeze blew gently, bringing the rustling of leaves, which intertwined with the lowing of horses in the distance to form a natural melody.

Shao Yun closed his eyes, took a deep breath of the fresh air, and felt the tranquility and harmony of nature. An unprecedented sense of relaxation surged in his heart, as if all his worries and stress disappeared at this moment.

"Oh, what a beautiful view."
