Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 1117 Shao Yun’s deal?

On the cliff edge of Caishiding, the intensity of the battle was far beyond imagination.

While fighting with Alice, suddenly, Mavica stabbed her two-handed sword into the rock beside her, sparks flying.

For her, fighting with weapons is far less exciting than punching each other. This close-range collision can make her feel the most primitive passion of battle!

Mavica dropped her weapon and swung her fist towards Alice's face with a whistling sound.

Alice dodged sideways in a hurry and almost missed a step and fell off the cliff.

At this moment, the two of them completely entered into a state of hand-to-hand combat.

During the fierce battle, Mavica seized an opportunity when Alice dodged, gathered all her strength in her right hand, and punched Alice hard in the stomach.

With a "puff" sound, Alice groaned, blood instantly flowed from the corner of her mouth, and her body retreated uncontrollably.

She used the force of the impact to quickly distance herself from Mavicka and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

As expected of the God of Fire, one of the Seven Lords of the Earth, he is also known as the "God of War". He is so ferocious in fighting and shows no mercy at all!

Mavica shook her fist and was about to rush forward again to fight Alice for three hundred rounds, but suddenly a familiar sound of horse hooves came from behind her, followed by Shao Yun's half-smile.

"It looks like you've caught a big fish, Miss Mavica."

Mavica's body froze instantly, and she subconsciously wanted to look back at Shao Yun, but out of the corner of her eye she saw Alice ready to move, obviously looking for an opportunity to escape.

She immediately suppressed the urge to turn around, still maintaining a fighting stance, staring at Alice vigilantly, and asked hurriedly:

"Mr. Shao Yun, why are you here? Shouldn't you be busy with the wedding now?"

Shao Yun dismounted, and Famine stood meekly beside him, gently wagging its tail.

He walked slowly to Mavica's side, his eyes swept across the faint trace of blood at the corner of Alice's mouth, and then looked at Mavica's slightly red fist, and he instantly understood.

It seems that Mavica really takes her wedding very seriously, and Alice really wants to take action on her wedding.

"Ying said that if you don't come, the wedding can't go on. Everyone is waiting at the ranch, so just leave this to me. You go back first and be responsible for the safety of the wedding venue to ensure that other guests are not affected."

Mavica was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Shao Yun and Ying Lian were willing to postpone their wedding for her...

Immediately afterwards, when she heard Shao Yun asking her to be responsible for the safety of the wedding venue, Mavica did not hesitate at all and did not say anything nonsense.

After taking back the "Burning Thousand Suns", Mavica turned around and ran quickly towards the ranch, leaving the scene to Shao Yun to deal with.

Mavica's figure quickly disappeared from sight, and only Shao Yun and Alice were left on the cliff.

Alice looked at the direction where Mavica left, then turned to look at Shao Yun in front of her, and suddenly she thought to herself that something was wrong.

I could still deal with Mavica before, but now that it’s Shao Yun, it would be extremely difficult for me to escape. This is really troublesome!

"You..." Alice was about to say something, but Shao Yun took the lead.

Shao Yun looked at Alice, who was nervous and ready to turn around and run away at any time, and teased:

"Don't be so nervous, Alice. Today is my big day, and for good luck, I don't want to use your head as a decoration."

"After all, no one likes a blood-stained wedding."

After saying that, Shao Yun slowly walked in front of Alice and raised his hand to signal.

"Come stroll with me on top of this colorful rock, and let's chat for a while."

Alice was full of doubts and had no idea what Shao Yun was up to.

He clearly had the opportunity to take action directly, but why did he choose to chat with me?

But out of the corner of her eye, she saw Shao Yun's hand on the grip of the gun in the holster. It was obvious that if she made any unusual movement, the other party would attack immediately.

In addition, after the fierce battle with Mavica just now, even if he had no obvious external injuries, most of his physical strength was consumed. Even if he wanted to escape at this moment, he was not 100% sure that he could avoid Shao Yun's pursuit.

After thinking it over, Alice realized that she had no room for bargaining at all.

She gritted her teeth and finally nodded, standing side by side with Shao Yun. The two of them slowly strolled along the edge of the colored stone roof.

After a moment's silence, Shao Yun spoke first, slowly stating his bottom line.

"Listen, Alice, I know that after I killed the Wind God Barbatos, our relationship was completely broken. You could even say it's like water and fire are incompatible..."

"You know?" When Alice heard the words "kill the Wind God", she became instantly excited and subconsciously interrupted Shao Yun.

"Since you knew that killing the Wind God would turn us against each other, why did you do it in the first place? I begged you so much to let Barbatos go, but you wouldn't listen!"

Shao Yun looked at Ellie who interrupted him rudely, without any anger on his face, and remained calm.

"Listen to me, Alice. It's rude to interrupt people, and while I enjoy interrupting sometimes, today I want us to have a frank conversation."

Alice opened her mouth, but the words she was about to say in rebuttal were instantly stuck in her throat.

She glanced at Shao Yun's hand on the holster again. Even if she wanted to take advantage of the chaos to attack, she was not sure she could be faster than Shao Yun in drawing the gun and shooting.

In the end, she shut her mouth and chose to listen to what he wanted to say.

Shao Yun looked at the silent Alice and continued:

"As we've come this far, I believe you've realized that none of us are Messiahs in the strictest sense, much less perfect good people. Do you dare to call yourself a saint?"

He paused, and without waiting for Alice to answer, he continued, "I've read your 'Guide to Teyvat', and some of the content in it..."

"For example, you proposed capturing the hillocks of Dadaupa Valley and using them as slave labor in the factory. You even wanted to turn the old and weak hillocks into fodder to feed the young and strong hillocks to continue working."

"I know that the Hillichuls have no human rights, but those torture instruments you gave me... Hehe, you're not a good person in the traditional sense, are you?"

Alice didn't feel anything when she heard about her past "black history" just like Shao Yun.

Besides, the plan to enslave the Hillichells was just an idea and not put into action.

The Hilichurls are monsters and have no human rights.

"..."

Shao Yun looked at Alice who remained silent after hearing what he said, and continued calmly:

"I understand. This world isn't a fairy tale for Klee. It's not all black and white. That's how I educated Ying and Paimon, too. I wanted them to see how Teyvat works."

“Not all good deeds are rewarded, and not all evil deeds are punished.”

"I believe you have witnessed all the people I have killed and the things I have done along the way."

"From Mondstadt to Natta, I've definitely messed up a lot of situations. Call me a troublemaker, and I admit it."

Shao Yun frankly admitted his "troublesome" nature without any excuses.

"But as I said when I burned the Sixth Fatui Executor to death, the rules of this world don't necessarily mean good people punishing bad people."

Speaking of this, Shao Yun's tone became more straightforward and ruthless.

"Good people, bad people, may live or die. But one thing is certain, idiots will die."

“Those who fail to see the reality and cling to unrealistic beliefs and keep hitting their heads against the wall will never have a good ending.”

After he finished speaking, Shao Yun felt that his words had strayed from the topic.

He didn't come here today to teach Alice a lesson, but to really solve the problem.

So he changed the subject and began to talk to Alice in a more pragmatic way about a win-win deal.

"Let's get back to business. Ying and I have decided to settle down in Nata. This will be my home."

"In the future, at most, I'll go to Solstice once to obtain the ice elemental power. After that, I'll be completely settled. I won't travel around Teyvat and cause trouble anymore. At least, I won't actively cause trouble."

He looked into Alice's eyes and emphasized, "I've essentially locked myself in this 'cage' of Nata. I won't be running around like I used to."

"Look, this way, there will be plenty of space for you and the Witch Club."

"Haven't you always wanted to 'save the world'? Now that I'm no longer a 'hidden danger' to interfere with you, you can fully utilize your abilities to deal with the real threats to Teyvat."

Alice listened to Shao Yun's clear and organized plan for the future of both parties, and even directly put the decision of "settling in Nata" and "not taking the initiative to cause trouble" in front of her.

This gave people the feeling that everything should proceed according to his arrangements. Thinking of this, Alice felt a surge of anger in her heart.

In her opinion, Shao Yun's attitude was like that of a superior who completely ignored her wishes and seemed to be telling her what to do.

Why should he?

"Do you think you can decide everything directly?" Alice's eyes were full of provoked anger.

"Who do you think you are? Do you think you can rule the world? You've killed so many people and messed up so many things, and now you want to live peacefully in Nata and enjoy a quiet life?"

"What kind of logic is this! Why can all the mistakes you made be written off in the end?"

Shao Yun listened to Alice's accusation, but tried his best to suppress his laughter and said sarcastically:

"Moral attack? Alice, you and I have reached this level of existence, and you are still playing such childish tricks?"

"I've said it before, good people and bad people may live or die, but idiots will definitely die."

"Remember this. Don't use your so-called 'morality' to constrain me, and don't try to prove how 'righteous' you are in this way."

"It just makes you look ridiculous in my eyes."

Alice was choked by Shao Yun's words and was speechless. Her face turned pale and blue, but she could not find any reason to refute.

She knew that what Shao Yun said was true. For people at their level, the so-called "morality" was no longer an absolute criterion.

"By the way, you know what? I once learned something from a sheep, a very important thing..."

Shao Yun deliberately paused for a moment before uttering four words in a rhythmic manner.

"Nothing lasts forever."

Alice opened her mouth, wanting to ask what Shao Yun meant by this, but ultimately closed it.

Shao Yun looked at Alice's silent profile, not knowing how much of what he said she had heard, and his steps gradually stopped.

Almost at the same time, Alice also stopped and stared at Shao Yun.

She didn't know what Shao Yun would do next, so she could only be on high alert, afraid of missing any danger signal.

Shao Yun let out a light breath. He had said what he needed to say and the deal he wanted to propose was laid out on the table. The so-called "first courtesy" had been taken to the extreme.

Since Alice remained silent and refused to give a clear answer, it was time to make her understand the importance of the "rear guard".

"I just want to try my best to enjoy the happiness that belongs only to me."

Having said that, Shao Yun slowly extended his left index finger, pointed it directly at Alice's forehead, and threatened:

"But if you insist on being so rude and want to deprive me of this little happiness and ruin my life with Ying, then I don't mind doing something extreme."

"Like, taking away your only one. Alice, do you understand me?"

Alice immediately understood what Shao Yun meant. He was referring to Keli, her most precious daughter in the world.

But she finally chose to remain silent, neither refutating nor compromising.

Seeing Alice's stubborn attitude, Shao Yun also lost his patience to continue dealing with her.

He blew a clear whistle at the apocalypse horse "Famine" not far away.

"Famine" heard the call, immediately raised his head and walked towards Shao Yun.

As it approached, dense shadows of locusts gradually emerged under its four hooves. The locusts circled and danced in the air, emitting a chilling and desolate atmosphere.

Alice swallowed nervously as she watched the locusts swarming beneath Famine's hooves.

Now that he felt this sense of oppression up close, he truly understood that Shao Yun's strength was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

But even so, Alice's desire to kill Shao Yun not only did not waver in the slightest, but became even more determined.

The more powerful Shao Yun becomes and the more he threatens the security of Teyvat, the more she cannot let him go!

She might not be able to achieve her goal today, but as long as she is alive, she will never give up on this goal.

Shao Yun didn't know about this, he just rode on the Apocalypse horse "Famine".

He was not afraid that Alice would suddenly attack him, because the Apocalypse Horse "Famine" was staring at Alice the whole time.

Although the individual combat power of "Don't Starve" may be slightly inferior to the other three horses, the name "Apocalypse" is not just a name for the cheerful

"That's all I have to say. I'm going back to attend my wedding..." Shao Yun sat on the horse, turned his head and said a few words to Alice.

"Don't waste your time here with me. Go home and hug your child. Keli is still waiting for you, isn't she?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shao Yun reached into his backpack, took out a small bag, and threw it towards Alice.

The bag drew an arc in the air and landed precisely on the ground in front of Alice, making a slight sound.

"Here are some Nata specialty chocolates and some Echo's Glittering Gem candies. Remember to bring them to Klee. Say hello to Klee for Ying and me."

After saying this, he did not stop, but gently squeezed Famine's belly with his legs. Amidst a low neigh, Apocalypse carried him away at a gallop towards the pasture.

The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away, leaving Alice alone standing on the edge of the cliff, her eyes fixed on the bag of candy at her feet.

Alice bent down to pick up the candy bag, raised her arm suddenly, and threw the bag down the cliff.

Soon the bag of candy disappeared below the cliff.

Alice did not accept Shao Yun's kindness and advice. She gritted her teeth and growled in the direction Shao Yun left.

"Without Ying and you as a hidden danger, how can I truly save the world? Do you think you can make me give up just like that?"

This confrontation is not over, it has just come to a temporary halt. The next encounter will be a life-and-death battle.
