Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 1142 System: Don’t forget Alice.

Afterwards, the two grown men, Shao Yun and Kong, sat at the kitchen dining table, each with a bottle of fruit (juice) wine, and drank slowly.

After drinking half a bottle of fruit wine, he looked at Shao Yun who was sitting opposite him, drinking the fruit wine in small sips with his head down, and suddenly felt a sense of guilt in his heart.

As a good brother-in-law, he always stands up for them when they need him. He helped Ying find him before, which made me realize how much my sister missed me.

Now he is helping me and Capitano to fake my own death. But I said some bad things to him before because I was worried that my sister would suffer.

I always feel so sorry for my brother-in-law...

Thinking of this, Kong put down the bottle of fruit wine in his hand and said guiltily, "I'm sorry, Shao Yun... That night, I said some strange things to you. Now that I think about it, I shouldn't have said that."

Shao Yun was drinking fruit wine when he heard Kong's sudden apology. He asked blankly, "Which night are you talking about? I don't remember."

Kong Jian Shao Yun didn't remember anything at all, and an embarrassed look appeared on his face.

(This is like Lu Xun destroying his brother's kite and then going to apologize, but the other person had already forgotten.)

He gritted his teeth and reminded, "It was...it was when we were in Nata, before my sister was rescued."

"That night I was drunk and my mind wasn't clear. I said something like 'If you don't love my sister, don't hurt her'..."

"Thinking about it now, it's really hypocritical and unnecessary."

Having said that, Kong couldn't help but cover his forehead with his hands, feeling so ashamed of himself at that time.

"I'm sorry. I was worried about my sister's safety at the time, and I was a little dazed and emotionally unstable, so I said that. Don't take it to heart."

Shao Yun looked at the half-empty bottle of fruit wine and began to feel melancholy. He patiently put down the bottle in his hand and responded:

"When people are drunk, isn't it normal for them to talk nonsense? You were worried about Ying, so it's normal for you to say those things."

"After all, in the eyes of outsiders, I am indeed a guy who only knows how to kill, kill, and kill. When my temper flares up, I turn my face against my relatives. If anyone else were Ying's brother, they would probably be more wary of me."

"Killing is the easiest thing, isn't it? Everyone kills. It's nothing new in Teyvat. It's not the Garden of Eden or Utopia."

Having said that, Shao Yun changed the subject and tentatively asked how he was doing now.

"But after all this time, I believe I've proven myself to be at least a qualified husband, right?"

When Kong heard this, he immediately put away the annoyance on his face, nodded seriously, and recognized his good brother-in-law from the bottom of his heart.

"That's right, you did much better than I thought."

"I'm really glad that my sister met you. If it weren't for you, I don't know how much hardship she would have endured along the way. She might have been plotted against by some dangerous guy."

Shao Yun listened to Kong's drunken words, which became somewhat corny, and began to ponder.

Kong looks like this when he's drunk, so if Ying gets drunk, will she also become clingy and act like a spoiled child?

Through Kong's gentle eyes at this moment, Shao Yun had already vaguely imagined Ying getting drunk, holding his arm and mumbling about wanting to eat, or leaning in his arms like a kitten and feeling sleepy. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

But as soon as this thought came to his mind, he suppressed it forcefully.

Forget it, just think about this scene in your mind. You can't let her get into the bad habit of drinking. If she hurts her body, he will be heartbroken.

Shao Yun shook his head, put aside those unrealistic fantasies, looked at Kong again, and talked about Ying's progress.

"In fact, Ying has grown a lot along the way."

"She used to be so eager to find you that she wasn't so wary of the customs and ways of Teyvat."

"Now at least I've learned to see how Teyvat works, and I can tell who are the good guys, who are the bad guys, and who are the idiots."

"We're all learning from each other, aren't we?"

……

Kong drank the last sip of the fruit wine in the bottle. The cold liquid with the fruity aroma slid into his throat, making his originally dizzy head a little clearer.

He put down the empty bottle, supported himself on the dining table, slowly stood up, and walked towards the guest rooms on the second floor.

There are important plans to be carried out tomorrow, so I must take the time to rest and get enough rest.

But just as he reached the kitchen door, Kong paused and slowly turned around.

He looked at Shao Yun who was still sitting at the dining table and expressed his sincere gratitude: "Thank you, Shao Yun. Thank you for giving Ying and me a home."

"I know you might say this is what family members should do, but I still want to sincerely thank you."

There was no trace of drunken nonsense in these words. Before meeting Shao Yun, he and Ying had never had a truly stable "home".

And now, this ranch, this place with Shao Yun, Ying, and the upcoming peaceful life, finally gave him a sense of "belonging".

Shao Yun listened to Kong's thanks and just waved his hand casually with a nonchalant smile on his face.

"Why are you being so polite to me? Go back to your room and get some sleep. You have to get up early tomorrow."

He watched Sora's figure disappear around the corner of the stairs, then leaned back in his chair and gently pinched his sore neck.

Then, Shao Yun looked at the two empty wine bottles on the table and muttered softly:

"I hope this is the last time I'm involved in these disputes... Once this is resolved, we can live a peaceful life as a family and never get into these troubles again."

Just as he finished speaking, the system that had not been seen for a long time suddenly popped up a prompt at this time, commenting on his recent behavior.

[Faking your own death and reincarnating to conceal your true identity, you actually consider yourself Nata's patron saint?]

Shao Yun looked at the system and responded nonchalantly, "What guardian angel? I'm just doing this for my family."

"At least now, Ying can get away from all this mess and doesn't have to be a big grudge anymore."

"It doesn't matter if I'm a little busier or a little more tired. This really is the last time. Maybe."

The system reminds:

[You are such a good man who cares about his family. However, don't forget Alice.]

Shao Yun looked at the place where the system prompt box disappeared and waved his hand nonchalantly.

In his opinion, no matter how powerful Alice is, she still has a weakness, and that is Klee.

He just didn't believe that the woman would waste her daughter's precious growth time and kill him.

Even a tiger doesn't eat its own cubs. I don't believe that she doesn't miss her lovely daughter?

"This woman, I guess she has already gone home to take care of her children. I gave her a bag of candy."

"Compared to causing trouble everywhere, killing people and setting fires, I am now living a peaceful life as an ordinary rancher, not getting involved in the disputes in Teyvat. Is this a good thing for the entire Teyvat?"

"I believe Alice will also give up when faced with difficulties. Although she acts arbitrarily, her brain is still intact. She is not the kind of fool who cannot distinguish between the pros and cons."

"It won't do her any good to fight me to the death. She should be able to tell the difference between the two."

The system continued to puncture his lucky mentality.

[But don't forget, you're about to "kill" Capitano. Capitano is the Fatui's first executor. If you kill him publicly, you'll be forging a mortal feud with Solstice.]

This behavior will further fuel Alice's fear of you. You've "killed" a decent man. In her eyes, you've become insane beyond recognition.

[Fear taken to its extreme is anger, which is one of the reasons why you shot that devil. You should know better than anyone the destructive power of this emotion.]

Shao Yun looked at the system's reminder, still looking nonchalant.

"It's okay to make enemies, it's not like I haven't dealt with Zhidong before."

"Besides, don't I still have a wish owed to me by that guy named Piero? It should be okay to use it as a get-out-of-jail-free card, right? I guess."

He thought for a moment and added, "At worst, we can just land on the beach, touch the statue, and run away."

"I don't believe Zhidong could dig up the statue of their country's Ice God and not let Ying touch it."

"If it really comes to that, the people will be in chaos by the winter. We can't even deprive people of their right to worship the statue, right?"

Seeing that Shao Yun only retorted one sentence after every three sentences and did not take the risks seriously at all, the system suddenly changed the subject and raised a new question.

What about Mavica?

When Shao Yun saw the name "Mavica", his movements paused for a moment, and the indifference on his face disappeared, replaced by full of doubts.

"Why is this about Mavica again? Aren't we talking about Alice and Solstice? What does this have to do with Mavica?"

The system's prompt box refreshed with a text explaining the reason for mentioning Mavica.

[In Mavica's eyes, you saved her again. Last time, you helped her eliminate the abyssal disease that had plagued Nata for a long time. This time, you saved her before she was about to use the power of the ruling power of death and heroically die.]

[With these two "rescues" combined, the special feelings she already has for you will be completely rekindled, even overwhelming her.]

"Are you planning to use this to gradually destroy Mavica's pride as the Goddess of Fire, making her completely dependent on you?"

When Shao Yun saw the system's speculation, the expression on his face froze instantly.

He was stunned for a few seconds before he retorted with a somewhat amused look.

"What kind of beast do you think I am? I'm just helping my brother-in-law complete his plan and helping Nata resolve the crisis. How could I have thought of so many twists and turns?"

Then, he quickly sorted out his thoughts in his mind and soon came up with a solution.

"Once the mission is complete and the war crisis between Nata and Solstice is resolved, I can arrange for Capitano to clarify things with her, right?"

"If I explain clearly that this is a fake death plan and I'm just cooperating in the act, won't that clear up her misunderstanding?"

At this point, Shao Yun suddenly had an idea. He pretended to be funny and imitated Capitano's low voice and said:

"Then I will blame everything on Capitano and imitate his voice and say: 'Oh, Mr. Shao Yun, please, grant me freedom. Only you can help me break free from the shackles of the Fatui.'"

"Haha, just thinking about that scene will immediately dispel the rekindled feelings in Mavica's heart!"

Shao Yun then restrained his smile and added firmly:

"Look, Xiao Gong said that misunderstandings arise from lack of communication."

"As long as everything is clarified, Mavica's misunderstanding will be resolved, right? She's so proud, she definitely won't keep pestering me over a misunderstanding."

After the system listened to Shao Yun's clarification plan, the text in the prompt box became a bit sarcastic.

[You're really something... You're putting the blame on Capitano and giving yourself the reputation of being an "innocent helper."]

Shao Yun didn't care about the system's ridicule at all, but said confidently:

"How can this be called shifting the blame? Capitano gained freedom by faking his death, Nata gained safety, and my brother-in-law gained new combat power."

"And what about me? Not only do I have to use up my precious 'wishes', but I also have to deal with any misunderstandings Mavica might have. Shouldn't I be the one to interpret this matter?"

"How can it be so easy for him to take advantage without paying a price?"

After saying that, Shao Yun picked up two empty wine bottles on the table, raised his arm, and accurately threw the bottles into the trash can in the corner of the kitchen, making a slight "clang" sound.

"Okay, I've said everything I need to say. I'm going back to bed."

"We have a big show with Capitano in a couple of days, so we need to be well-rested now and not make any mistakes."
