Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 1413 The First Ring of Couple Play

After a period of boasting and conversation, Dotole had spoken freely, revealing all his achievements and ambitions. He had also received Shao Yun's "listening," so he did not linger any longer.

He turned and disappeared into the boundless, moonless night, his mind filled with the desire to return as soon as possible to integrate the power of the three months and make full preparations for challenging the throne in the heavens soon.

Watching Dotore's departing figure, Shao Yun let out a soft sigh of relief, his face full of undisguised exhaustion—he had no interest whatsoever in Dotore's ambition to challenge the order of heaven, nor did he bother with those trivial matters concerning the fate of Teyvat.

At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind: to get home quickly and get a good night's sleep.

As Shao Yun entered the house, she bent down to change her shoes while wearily complaining.

"What the hell is going on today... I'm exhausted after a long day, and I've run into a crazy witch and a crazy scientist. I've had the worst luck ever."

He rubbed his throbbing temples, sighed, and added another sentence.

"Even if I'm wearing the 'Eastern Legends' set and can withstand the physical fatigue, I can't withstand this double mental blow. I can't take it anymore."

Just as Shao Yun finished complaining, a slight noise came from the living room.

The figure that had been curled up on the sofa immediately sat up slowly, rubbing its sleepy eyes as it greeted them in a soft, sweet voice.

"Mr. Shao Yun, you're back!"

Shao Yun paused in changing his shoes, looked up, and saw Ning Guang wearing a light nightgown, her hair slightly disheveled, sitting on the sofa rubbing her eyes and looking at him.

It's almost midnight, why is Ningguang still lying on the sofa in the living room instead of going to her room to sleep?

"Ningguang, it's so late. I thought you were already asleep. Why are you lying in the living room instead of going back to your room? You'll catch a cold."

Upon hearing this, Ningguang couldn't help but yawn widely, rubbed her eyes to try and clear her head, and then slowly explained:

"Ying asked me to wait for you. She said you would definitely be busy until very late today, and she was worried that you would be too tired when you came back and there would be no one to greet you, which would make you feel uncomfortable."

She paused, then added, "I also heard that a lot of refugees from Nordkalé arrived today, and the Olympic Stadium is in a frenzy. You must be exhausted."

"Ying originally wanted to wait for you with me, but it was too late. I persuaded her for a long time before she agreed to go back to her room to rest... In the end, I just lay down on the sofa and fell asleep while waiting."

Upon hearing this, Shao Yun felt a warmth in his heart, but then a sense of helplessness arose. He immediately waved his hand, telling Ning Guang to go back and rest.

"Honestly, I'm not a child. Do you think I need you to wait for me?"

"I can take care of myself, I don't need anyone to wait on me. Go back and rest, it's so late, don't ruin your health."

Ningguang ignored Shao Yun's refusal, walked up to him, and naturally grabbed his wrist. She didn't use much force, but pulled him towards the sofa.

"Alright, alright, don't refuse. This is a task that Ying specifically assigned to me. Sit down quickly, I'll wash your feet and help you relax."

Shao Yun, being pulled along by her, immediately waved his hand upon hearing the words "foot washing," his face full of helplessness and a little embarrassed, and quickly refused:

"That's too much, that's too much, Ningguang! I can wash myself, I don't need you to wash me, let go of me now."

Upon hearing this, Ningguang not only didn't let go, but instead winked at him playfully and tilted her head mischievously.

"Me, a sewer? Am I being excessive (in terms of excrement)? Mr. Shao Yun, you're really good at arguing. Hurry up and sit down, otherwise I won't be able to explain to Ying. She'll probably say I'm slacking off."

Looking at her uninhibited and even joking manner, Shao Yun thought of the timid woman who had first arrived at the ranch, and couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. He shook his head and sighed:

"You've really gotten to know me well... You weren't like this a year ago, now you even dare to tease me."

Although reluctant, upon hearing that it was Ying's request, Shao Yun finally followed Ningguang's lead and sat down on the sofa.

Seeing Shao Yun give in, Ning Guang immediately revealed a triumphant smile, released his hand, turned around and quickly walked towards the first-floor bathroom, muttering to herself.

"Wait for me, it'll be quick."

A moment later, Ningguang came over carrying a basin of steaming warm water, with a clean towel draped over her shoulder.

Seeing her like this, Shao Yun advised again, "Alright, Ningguang, it's really not necessary. You should go and rest. It's so late, it's not good to ruin your health. I can do something as simple as washing my feet myself."

As he spoke, he bent down to pick up the basin of water, but Ningguang dodged him.

"Don't move! Ying told me to receive you, why are you talking so much nonsense?" She even deliberately imitated Shao Yun's tone for the last sentence, mimicking it perfectly.

Then, without giving Shao Yun any chance to resist, Ning Guang gently pressed down on his knees and carefully pushed his feet into the warm water. The water temperature was just right, neither too hot nor too cold.

Then, she looked up and blurted out a dirty joke, her tone casual and natural: "Alright, what are you afraid of? If you really wanted to sleep with me, you'd probably be pregnant by now."

"Honestly, I think even if I stood naked in front of you, the first thing you'd think would be that Ying is prettier than me, right?"

Shao Yun was taken aback by her blunt and realistic words. He opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know how to refute her. He could only roll his eyes helplessly and complain:

"You've really integrated yourself into this whole time, haven't you? You never dared to make jokes like this before. Weren't you afraid I'd really hit you?"

Ningguang smiled nonchalantly, gently massaging Shao Yun's tired feet with her fingertips, and said casually:

"I'm not afraid at all. It's precisely because I know that you, Mr. Shao Yun, could never sleep with me that I dare to joke with you so recklessly. You won't really be angry."

Looking at her calm and self-righteous expression, Shao Yun felt completely helpless.

Having seemingly lost all his options, he could only lean helplessly against the sofa, muttering with a wry smile:

"Yes, I said that family members don't speak in private, and you really remembered that well, and you've even put it into practice."

……

Shao Yun originally thought that this "special treatment" would end after washing his feet, but unexpectedly, after Ning Guang washed his feet and dried them with a towel, she took the opportunity to grab his feet and sit on the sofa, slowly kneading them.

Immediately afterwards, she got up and moved behind Shao Yun, placing her hands on his stiff shoulders and massaging them from top to bottom with just the right amount of pressure.

Because Ningguang frequently massages Ying, her technique is very skilled, allowing Shaoyun to completely relieve the fatigue of the day.

As Ningguang gently massaged Shao Yun, she leaned close to his ear with a willing smile on her lips and asked, "Is this pressure okay? If it's too strong or too weak, let me know."

Shao Yun felt a sense of relief as she pressed down on him. His muscles, which had been tense for a day and a night, gradually relaxed, and his fatigue dissipated little by little along Ning Guang's fingertips.

He simply relaxed completely, leaned back on the sofa, and looked like he had nothing to lose.

Anyway, it was Ying who said it. We've already enjoyed a foot bath, so what's a little longer? We've been so tired, it's okay to enjoy it once in a while.

"It feels so good, so good. If I hadn't been so busy today that I was exhausted and felt like I was falling apart, I would never have let you massage my feet and order you around."

Ningguang clicked her tongue at his hypocritical words, but didn't stop applying force to his hands.

"Okay, okay, Ying usually likes it when I massage her. If you like it too, next time I massage Ying, I'll massage you too. It's no big deal."

Shao Yun slowly opened his eyes, turned his head to look at Ning Guang's profile as she earnestly massaged him, gently shook his head, and said with principle:

"That won't do. I can't treat my daughter's godmother like that. Let it go this time, but don't do it again."

Upon hearing this, Ningguang stopped what she was doing, raised an eyebrow at him, and gave him a look that suggested she had gotten a good deal but was still being smug, yet readily agreed:

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. This won't happen again. But we'll talk about the future later, let's focus on the present. By the way, you haven't eaten properly all day, aren't you hungry?"

Ningguang's reminder instantly triggered Shao Yun's hunger.

He smiled honestly and said, "Now that you mention it, I am indeed a little hungry."

"Throughout the day, besides being busy resettling refugees and handling trivial matters, I didn't have time to eat at all."

Ningguang listened and gently patted Shao Yun's shoulder.

"I knew you must be hungry. I've been keeping your dinner warm in the kitchen. Sit a little longer, and I'll bring it over to you right away."

Then, Ningguang came out of the kitchen with a warm dinner on the plate, which contained several light but delicious side dishes and a bowl of steaming porridge.

She gently placed the plate on the coffee table, then brought out bowls and chopsticks, serving him attentively throughout.

Shao Yun didn't stand on ceremony anymore, sat down calmly, picked up a spoon, and accepted Ning Guang's care with a normal attitude.

After all, they've lived together for over a year, and she's even her daughter's godmother. As long as their interactions aren't too inappropriate, it's fine.

Ningguang sat down next to him without saying much, simply observing his movements. Seeing that he was holding a spoon and it was inconvenient for him to pick up small pieces of food, she naturally picked up her chopsticks and put the food into his bowl.

After wolfing down his food, Shao Yun put down his chopsticks, leaned back on the sofa, took a slow, deep breath, and said lazily with a satisfied look on his face, "I'm full..."

Seeing his satisfied expression, Ningguang couldn't help but chuckle. She moved to his side and raised her hand to gently massage his temples, as Ying had instructed, to help him relieve his mental fatigue.

But before her hand could touch Shao Yun's forehead, she heard Shao Yun suddenly sit up straight, his tone impassioned yet somewhat mocking, uttering a famous saying that could be described as "unprecedented and unparalleled".

"Now that we've eaten and drunk our fill, it's time to do something big!"

Before he finished speaking, Shao Yun rushed towards the second floor, showing no signs of his previous exhaustion.

Ningguang sat there, her hand still frozen in mid-air, her face full of astonishment, not realizing for a moment what he was about to do.

Within seconds, Ying's sleepy and drowsy voice came from the bedroom on the second floor, clearly awakened by Shao Yun's sudden intrusion.

"Honey, what's all the commotion about? It's so late, why aren't you asleep?"

The next second, Ying's voice suddenly became panicked: "Hey hey hey! Honey, don't pull my nightgown! Stop it, stop it, can't we do this tomorrow? I'm so sleepy..."

Immediately afterwards, Ying's voice suddenly rose, tinged with embarrassment and helplessness, her tone full of accusation: "What do you mean by 'after eating and drinking your fill, you have to have sex'!"

"I just went to sleep before you came back, leaving Ningguang to wait for you. Did she upset you?"

"What do you mean Ningguang is good, but not as good as me?! Oh dear, I was wrong, I was wrong, honey, stop fooling around~"

In the end, Ying's voice turned into an incoherent murmur before she could finish speaking.

"Paimon's still inside! Ugh!!!"

Within a minute, Paimon's dazed voice, soft and sleepy, came from the bedroom as he was woken up.

"What's wrong? It's so noisy... What happened?"

The next second, a high-decibel scream shattered the tranquility of the night.

"Aaaaaah!!! You two are so shameful, doing this kind of thing in the house! You beasts!"

Immediately afterwards, Paimon was seen carrying his little pillow and blanket, drowsily flying out of the bedroom and heading straight for Shen He's room.

"I'm going to sleep in Shen He's room! I never want to be with you two crazy people again, you're not even being discreet!"

In the living room on the first floor, Ningguang stood frozen in place, her lips twitching awkwardly. She felt as if she had become the spark that ignited the dry tinder between Shao Yun and Ying.

"I've become part of this couple's play..."

……

Under the arrangement of Mawika, the refugees of Nordkale were settled among the six tribes and will gradually decide on their future path.

The Secret House has resumed operations at the Dawn Winery in Nata; the Children of Frostmoon will temporarily take up residence on the top of the quarry.

As for Shao Yun's ranch, thanks to Ning Guang's unexpected hospitality, Shao Yun was well-fed and watered tonight and went to [unclear - possibly a typo].

Ying has suffered a terrible fate...

Everything seemed peaceful under Shao Yun's embellishment, but the eccentric Nico Lane and the audacious Dotole who dared to challenge the laws of nature...

These unusual phenomena all indicate that things will not be peaceful.
