Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 1318 Jonawa's Surveillance

After that, Shen He continued to take care of the child in the nursery.

Ningguang was holding a soft towel and carefully rubbing Ying's back.

Ying soaked in the warm water, her tired expression gradually relaxed, though there were still some bubbles on her hair, making her look like a kitten that had just taken a bath.

"Rub slowly, my back hurts..." Ying mumbled, her voice languid from just relaxing.

"I know, I was just worried you wouldn't wash it properly." Ningguang smiled helplessly and loosened her grip even more.

She hadn't forgotten the "sour" smell when Ying came in; if she didn't wash it carefully, the smell would probably linger.

As for dinner, this time it was the turn of "know-it-all" Yuan Shang to take charge.

At that moment, a series of clanging and clattering sounds came from the kitchen. Sometimes it was the sound of pots and pans colliding, sometimes it was the sizzling sound of oil splashing into the pan, and occasionally Yuan Shang's mutterings to himself.

"How much salt did I put in again? Never mind, that's enough!"

Shao Yun listened outside the door, unable to help but rub his forehead, hoping that Yuan Shang wouldn't blow up the kitchen...

In the end, Shao Yun did not go to the kitchen to "supervise" Yuan Shang, but went straight to the rocking chair under the back porch of the house.

After all, he wasn't in the mood for it right now...

He sat down, placed his hands on the armrests, and gently rocked the chair, looking somewhat dazed.

He appeared calm on the surface, but only he knew that his heart was in turmoil.

Upon learning that his daughter Xi also possessed the Abyss "filter canister" constitution, he forced himself to calm down and even made a deal with Silky to escape.

But was his heart at peace?

A ruthlessness emanating from the depths of his blood was rising spontaneously, and fear fueled his killing spree, gradually revealing an indescribable emotion in his eyes.

Something like...madness? Perhaps he needs to eliminate some potential threats?

He began to think uncontrollably about the potential threats: would Alice target his own daughter? Should he send Alice to her death first?

As the saying goes: If Rome is destined to perish tomorrow, then Carthage must die today!

Just as Shao Yun's thoughts were about to spiral into obsession, a slight noise suddenly came from behind him.

Before he could react, a pair of fair, jade-like hands gently landed on his shoulders, followed by a gentle voice.

"What are you thinking about? So absorbed."

Shao Yun was startled, and the noisy, frantic thoughts in his mind were instantly interrupted.

He quickly turned his head, and what came into view was Gan Yu's face... or more accurately, the "fake" Gan Yu, transformed from a mother goat. The other person was looking at him with a half-smile.

Shao Yun immediately lowered his voice and urgently reminded him, "Hey, what's wrong with you? Don't turn into a human when you're at home!"

"If Shen He or Ning Guang sees this, it will be so troublesome to explain, and it will cause unnecessary trouble!" He said, while cautiously glancing back into the room, afraid that someone would come out and witness this scene.

The "fake" Gan Yu looked at Shao Yun's nervous and anxious expression, as if afraid of being seen, and the cunning in her eyes deepened.

She lightly traced circles on Shao Yun's shoulder with her fingers, then smiled charmingly and asked in a languid voice, "What are you afraid of? I've already seen it."

"Ningguang is giving your wife Ying a bath in the second-floor bathroom, and even little Paimon is following along to soak up the hot water; Shenhe is watching over your daughter Xi in the nursery, not even blinking his eyes."

"Silkirk is resting with his eyes closed in the study on the first floor. He must be tired from training with Ying these past two days. Yuan Shang is still struggling with pots and pans in the kitchen. I think I heard him pour vinegar instead of soy sauce just now."

"As for your brother-in-law Kong, he's currently busy with the messy affairs of the Abyss Order in the Kingdom of Night God, and he won't be back for a while."

She paused, leaned closer, her warm breath brushing against Shao Yun's ear, and teased, "You think about it, right now, the only people in the house who can move around freely are just the two of us?"

"The only ones who can see us are the cattle and sheep in the backyard livestock pen. They can't talk, so what, are they going to go and complain to Shen He?"

Shao Yun listened as the "fake" Gan Yu recounted the family's movements in great detail, but she had no interest in asking how she knew so much.

At this moment, his mind was filled with his daughter Xi's health issues, which was also very distressing. He had no interest in arguing or bickering with the "fake" Gan Yu.

He waved his hand wearily and said listlessly, "Never mind, my head hurts. I'm not talking to you anymore."

After saying that, Shao Yun closed his eyes, leaned back in the rocking chair, and tried to relax his tense nerves.

Looking at Shao Yun's exhausted face, the teasing in "Fake" Rain's eyes gradually faded, replaced by a subtle tenderness.

She withdrew her hand from Shao Yun's shoulder and gently placed it on his temples, massaging them with just the right amount of pressure, her voice softening.

"Don't think too much about it. Let me give you a massage; it'll make you feel better."

The warm touch and gentle pressure on his head gradually eased Shao Yun's tense nerves.

He closed his eyes and enjoyed the moment, but ultimately couldn't suppress his confusion any longer. He slowly opened his eyes, looked at the "fake" Gan Yu behind him, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"I have a question... I'd like to ask you."

The "fake" Gan Yu continued working with her hands, a charming smile returning to her face, and said in a light tone, "Go ahead and ask, whatever you want to know, I'm happy to answer it for you."

She anticipated that Shao Yun would have questions, and her face showed no surprise.

Shao Yun opened his mouth, but didn't know where to begin... Too many questions swirled in his mind, making it difficult for him to organize his thoughts.

He paused for a moment, then said whatever came to mind.

“My daughter, she, she is… Damn it, why, will Alice… I…”

"Fake" Gan Yu looked at Shao Yun's anxious face, her heart filled with worry for her daughter. She slowly stopped massaging Shao Yun's temples and gently placed her hand on Shao Yun's chest instead.

She leaned forward slightly, slowly bringing her face close to Shao Yun's. The two were so close they could feel each other's breath, and her voice became even gentler, carrying an elusive sense of mystery.

"After all, it's a gift from Him, so it's normal for it to be a little unique."

Shao Yun felt a little uncomfortable with this sudden closeness, and could even smell the faint herbal fragrance on the "fake" Gan Yu.

He subconsciously turned his head away, reached out and disgustedly pushed away the "fake" Gan Yu who was leaning in front of him, and asked in confusion, "Who is 'He'?"

After being pushed away, the "fake" Gan Yu was not angry. She simply straightened up and licked her lips lightly with the tip of her tongue.

Instead of directly answering Shao Yun's question, she quoted a passage from Psalm 127:3: "Children are a gift from her, a reward from her."

“Look, the fact that Xi can come to your side is a blessing in itself, and her physique may also be part of that blessing.”

After hearing this, Shao Yun gave a forced smile: "Haha...you know, I don't believe in these things..."

The "fake" Gan Yu seemed oblivious to Shao Yun's rejection, continuing to speak as if nothing was amiss, even distorting the meaning of the classics.

"Don't worry, you will solve all the troubles. Just as I said, you are walking in His ways and by the authority He has given you! You are the arbiter who decides the life and death of others."

"The world thirsts for salvation and seeks the guidance of a shepherd, but you are the knight who comes on horseback when the seven seals are opened."

“You are not here to feed the flock, nor to search for the lost sheep. Your mission is to carry out what the one who sits on the throne has commanded: to harvest the wheat and burn the weeds.”

"The living are blessed by your choice; the dead also achieve righteousness through your choice."

Shao Yun wasn't interested in that; his only worry was whether Alice would set her sights on his daughter.

I still vividly remember Wendy threatening me with her own child to save Nata!

"But... I don't know what I'm thinking right now, but... if Alice can't scheme against my wife, will she scheme against my daughter?"

"She's not some nice woman who tells stories to little girls; she's a madwoman who dares to feed Hilichurls to Hilichurls! She might even have written some kind of madwoman's diary."

Looking at Shao Yun's worried face, the "fake" Gan Yu suddenly spoke, her tone carrying a familiar reminder:

“You will make the right choice, Mr. Morgan, do you remember that line?”

Shao Yun nodded slowly and replied, "I remember, I haven't forgotten."

Seeing that Shao Yun still remembered, the "fake" Gan Yu's eyes flashed with satisfaction, and then she continued to remind him: "Since you remember, don't worry unnecessarily."

Instead of speculating whether she will harm your daughter, continue to think about the questions I've reminded you of, questions that may need to be answered in the future.

Upon hearing the question about the "fake" Gan Yu, Shao Yun muttered to himself:

"What caused all of this to go mad? I still can't figure it out. What's the point of this question? Why do I need to answer it in the future?"

Just as the "fake" Gan Yu was about to say something more, her originally smiling eyes suddenly froze, and the curve of her lips gradually became somewhat eerie.

She slightly raised her head, sensing something, then chuckled and said, "Interesting. It seems like there are two pairs of eyes watching us from the shadows."

Upon hearing that someone was watching his house, Shao Yun asked warily, "Who is it?"

The "fake" Gan Yu showed no sign of nervousness. She simply used her twin sheep-like pupils to look directly in a certain direction in the sky, which was the location of Sky Island.

She blinked her left eye first, then her right, as if she were "staring" at a distant observer.

Then, the "fake" Gan Yu stuck out the tip of her tongue and lightly licked her lips, her voice becoming ethereal and elusive, saying nonchalantly:

"It's okay, they're all insignificant people."

……

At this moment, the Death Ruler "Ronawa," who was monitoring the ground of Nata, felt the gaze of the "pseudo" Gan Yu. Although the gaze was coming from the front, why did she feel that the gaze was coming from behind?

Moreover, why did I feel as if I was being locked onto by some terrifying being?

"How did she find me? This feeling of being watched, hmm..."

After a while, the feeling of being watched gradually dissipated. Rona shook her head, forcing herself not to dwell on the issue.

She shifted her attention back to the lower area, but this time, the focus of the image was no longer on Shao Yun's ranch, but on Nata's Night God Kingdom.

"Forget it, now is not the time to investigate this guy named Shao Yun."

"I never expected that the remnants of Kanria would dare to entrench themselves in Nata and secretly gather strength, it seems they are preparing to make a comeback..."

"Night God really doesn't want to live anymore! He actually dared to openly protect the remnants of Kanria! Looks like... I need to do something..."
