Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 81 Ying's Comfort

Shao Yun walked over and gave Wendy, who was lying on the ground, a fierce kick. His action was somewhat impatient, as if he was very dissatisfied with Wendy's falling to the ground.

"Don't pretend to be dead. I was very careful when I attacked you. I didn't hit you in the vital parts. If you were really dead, you wouldn't be so quiet now. You would have blown Mond into a huge pit long ago!"

Wendy was still lying on the ground, motionless, as if she had really lost consciousness.

Seeing this, Shao Yun frowned and a hint of anger appeared in his tone.

"Don't play dumb! I know you're not dead yet!"

He squatted down and took out a bottle of healing medicine from his backpack.

"This stuff is so bitter. If you drink it, your mouth will be filled with bitterness within a day!"

Seeing that Wendy still didn't move, Shao Yun pulled out the cork without hesitation and poured the medicine into Wendy's mouth.

However, Wendy still did not respond.

Shao Yun laughed out of anger and shook his head, "Okay, you won't wake up, right? Then I'll give you another bottle! You won't be able to drink for three days!"

As he spoke, he took out another bottle of magical tonic from his arms. This bottle of tonic looked more precious than the healing medicine, and more bitter. Shao Yun poured the tonic into Wendy's mouth again.

However, Wendy was still lying on the ground with her eyes closed, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep. Shao Yun looked at Wendy's face, which was tense because of the hard work, and sighed helplessly: "Wendy, stop pretending, don't you feel the pain?"

His tone revealed some concern and confusion, as if he really didn't understand why Wendy was like this. However, Wendy still didn't respond, leaving only silence.

Shao Yun dropped Wendy and stood up, his face full of helplessness and anger.

He patted the dust off his body and said coldly, "Okay! Just pretend! I'm leaving, you can sleep on the floor!"

After saying this, he turned and left, his steps firm and resolute.

Wendy was still lying on the ground, motionless, as if she were really dead.

Shao Yun came back on horseback. When he passed by Wendy, he slowed down and looked down at him.

"I don't care what the devil said to you. Remember, don't be bewitched by the devil. It is deceiving you! Also, it won't kill people by itself! Do you choose to believe the devil or myself? Think about it yourself!"

After a while, Wendy, lying on the ground, slowly opened her eyes.

He first checked the surrounding environment and made sure that Shao Yun had gone far away before he breathed a sigh of relief.

He immediately put on a painful expression, as if he was enduring great pain.

"Pah, pah, pah, it's so bitter!" He frowned, spat forcefully several times, and complained, "Why did he force me to drink so much? I can't drink during this period of time."

At this moment, a huge figure suddenly appeared in the sky, it was Tevarin.

Tevarin looked down at Wendy on the ground and asked with concern: "Barbatos, you are injured."

Wendy spat a few more times, trying to get rid of the bitter taste in her mouth.

Then he waved his hands to indicate that he was fine.

"It's okay. He didn't hit me in a fatal spot." Wendy said with a wry smile, "And he also gave me two bottles of very bitter medicine. For me now, my biggest injury is actually on my tongue."

Tevarin's eyes fell on Mondstadt in the distance, with a hint of doubt and confusion. He looked down at Wendy and asked in confusion: "Why didn't you kill him? I felt that your fighting attitude just now was very serious."

Wendy shrugged slightly with a bitter smile on her lips.

"I was serious, and so was he. However, his speed was faster than mine, even faster than the speed of the wind I controlled."

After hearing this, Tevarin showed a hint of surprise on his face. He said in disbelief: "Even the wind you control is not faster than his movements? How is this possible?"

Wendy nodded, his eyes revealing a trace of deep fear, and explained: "If he was just faster than me, I might not be so afraid. But the scary thing is, the gun in his hand, the thing that comes out..."

Wendy didn't say anything more at this point, but his expression was enough to explain everything.

Tevarin also felt the fear and uneasiness in his heart. The cowboy revolver blessed by the devil was no ordinary weapon.

Tevarin fell to the ground and sighed, "It seems that this human is more terrifying than the abyss. Can Mond really withstand his threat?"

Wendy shook his head, his eyes revealing helplessness and determination.

"As of now, he has not posed a direct threat to Mond. However, we must remain vigilant at all times and not let our guard down. If he does pose a threat to Mond, then we can only stop him at all costs, just like we did five hundred years ago."

Tevarin took a deep breath. He understood what Wendy meant by "like five hundred years ago."

"By the way, have you really been bewitched by that guy?"

Wendy listened to what Tevarin said and gave her own answer from the bottom of her heart.

"It had about half of the effect. Thanks to Shao Yun for waking me up."

……

A faint paleness quietly appeared on the horizon, and the faint light of morning light gently fell, covering the earth with a hazy veil.

Shao Yun rode his horse back to Mondstadt, exhausted. His face was full of fatigue and heaviness, and his heart was full of regret and pain.

He walked to the door of Amber's house, stopped for a moment, and stared at the closed wooden door, as if he could see everything that had just happened through it.

"This devil has even bewitched Wendy."

If I hadn't retained a bit of rationality at that time, I would have missed the target on purpose.

Once Venti dies, the power of the devil will be released, and Mond will be renamed Mond Ruins.

The more I think about it, the more scared I feel.

After standing at the door for a while, Shao Yun finally plucked up the courage to push open the door.

The door opened slowly, making a slight creaking sound.

Ying was lying on the sofa in the living room on the first floor at this time. When she heard the sound of the door opening, she stood up immediately.

She watched Shao Yun come in, with a trace of concern and worry in her eyes. She walked up to Shao Yun and said softly, "You're back."

Shao Yun nodded, stood at the door and said nothing.

Ying reached out, gently hugged Shao Yun, and buried her head in his chest.

"I had a nightmare over an hour ago. I went to your room and found you were not there. I realized you hadn't come back all night, and I was worried about you."

Shao Yun hugged Ying tightly in his arms and gently stroked her hair with his fingers.

I thought about the poker game with the Top Hat Man and what his cards were, and the more I thought about it, the more terrified I felt.

An idea suddenly came to Shao Yun's mind, which was to run, but the next second he felt it was too much of a stretch.

But on second thought, maybe Liyue's Morax can make this devil afraid.

……

"Ying, have you settled everything in Mondstadt? I mean, can we set off for Liyue as soon as possible?"

Ying looked up at Shao Yun, her eyes full of confusion.

"Shao Yun, are you hiding something from me? You didn't save Sister Giuliana, are you afraid..."

Shao Yun pursed his lips slightly, and said with a trembling voice: "She was rescued. Rosalia brought her back. She is safe now. But, I... I felt fear for the first time. Do you understand?"

Ying gently helped Shao Yun sit on the soft sofa, poured him a glass of water, and then asked softly: "Shao Yun, what happened? Can you tell me?"

Shao Yun drank the water in one breath. His eyes seemed a little confused and chaotic, and he spoke out everything that was in his mind incoherently.

"I feel very panicked now, as if I have been bewitched by the devil. I even began to doubt my own identity. Who am I? I only know that I come from another world, but I can't remember where that world is. My mind is filled with the memories of three people, even your memory. I can even... I can even predict the future, this..."

Seeing that Shao Yun seemed to be going crazy, Ying suddenly came up to Shao Yun.

Then her lips gently touched Shao Yun's lips. At that moment, Shao Yun felt that the world had stopped.

He felt Ying's soft lips, with a unique softness and sweetness that made his heart beat faster instantly.

This unexpected kiss gradually calmed his originally confused mood.

After the kiss, Ying asked with a slight blush on her face, "I don't know what you're talking about, but this is the first time I've seen you so flustered, so... do you feel calmer after the kiss?"

Shao Yun looked at her, the shock in his heart had not completely subsided. He mustered up his courage and boldly asked, "Can I kiss you again?"

Ying frowned slightly when she heard this. She seemed a little dissatisfied with Shao Yun's push. She said, "Don't push it. Calm down and talk about it!"

Shao Yun felt that this first kiss was so casual and he didn't feel satisfied enough.

But in order to answer Ying's question, he had to take a deep breath and tell her everything that had happened to him.

"After I rescued Sister Giuliana, I met a guy," Shao Yun began to describe his experience.

"It's a real devil. I don't care how many ferocious people you have seen before, but as long as you stand in front of it, your legs will tremble with fear! It is a fear that comes from the depths of your soul."

After listening to Shao Yun's description, Ying showed a curious look on her face. She asked, "What does that guy look like?"

Shao Yun took out a diary and pen from his backpack and began to sketch. After a while, he drew the image of the man in the top hat.

He handed the painting to Ying and said, "It looks like this."

Ying took the painting and examined it carefully, but a trace of doubt appeared on her face.

She looked at Shao Yun and asked, "Why did you only draw the clothes and the hat, but not the face?"

After hearing what Ying said, Shao Yun quickly took the diary back from Ying's hand. His eyes flashed with incredible light, and the corners of his mouth opened slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he was so shocked that he was a little incoherent: "What... How is this possible!"

He looked down at the diary in his hand, his eyes fixed on that page. The face drawn on it was that of the man in the tall hat.

Shao Yun's fingers gently ran across the portrait, his brows furrowed, as if he was looking for some clues.

"Can't you see it?" Shao Yun raised his head and pointed at the man in the top hat in the painting, with a hint of doubt and anxiety in his tone.

However, Ying just looked at Shao Yun in confusion, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she was a little puzzled by Shao Yun's words.

"What are you talking about? I didn't see anything. Are you trying to scare me and make me sleep in your arms at night?"

Shao Yun couldn't help feeling helpless when he heard Ying's words. He looked at the diary in his hand again, repeatedly looking at the painting, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

His heart was filled with doubts and confusion, and he muttered to himself: "This is impossible... What is going on?"

Shao Yun raised his head, looked at Ying's distrustful eyes, took a deep breath, and then explained eagerly: "Really! I didn't lie to you, I really drew its face!"

However, Ying just shook her head and said in disbelief: "The more you talk, the more I feel you are lying to me. Shao Yun, you can't go too far and scare me just because I kissed you just now!"

Shao Yun sighed helplessly, gently closed the diary in his hand, and put it into his backpack.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you can't see it, but what I said is the truth."

Seeing this, Ying comforted him softly, "Shao Yun, don't think too much. Look, it's almost dawn, go and have a rest."

Shao Yun shook his head and rejected Ying's proposal.

"I'll stay in the living room for a while."

Shao Yun needed some time alone to sort out his thoughts. The devil's temptation was too terrifying.

Ying did not force it. She gently rested her head on Shao Yun's thigh and closed her eyes.

"Then I'll accompany you." Ying suddenly spoke, her voice sounding a little lazy and casual.

Her breathing gradually became steady and deep, as if she was really preparing to fall asleep.

Shao Yun was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Ah? What did you say?"

Ying didn't open her eyes, but said calmly: "Didn't I say I had a nightmare? Let me take a nap. I'll feel much more at ease with you by my side."

Shao Yun felt Ying's body temperature and weight, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.

He looked down at Ying's peaceful sleeping face, a bitter smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

He gently stroked Ying's hair, as if he was comforting her, and also as if he was comforting himself.

"I won, believe in yourself..."
