United, We Sisters Can Defeat Any Foe! / Danzhu's Bold Proposal

On the table were simple stone bowls, wooden chopsticks, and a stone pot for cooking soup.

In the corner of the room, there was still a pile of firewood and several Keys of Domination that had been used as tools before... well, to put it nicely, you could call them the Xuanyuan Sword. After a while, there should be a small stove in the room.

"If a storm were to come right now..."

"Then I'll have to possess the whole house." Liu Bai interrupted Hua's worries. "Don't keep worrying about this and that. Isn't the situation good now? We can lay a few more animal hides on the ground later... Danzhu should know how to knead leather, so we can just make a big one."

"... That's true."

The house is located right at the edge of the forest. A few steps to the west is the forest, and a few steps to the east is the sea. The estuary is even closer, and there is no shortage of fresh water. The conditions are quite excellent.

Hua nodded.

Her glasses are gone now—they were accidentally snatched away by a bird while she was resting, but luckily she's not actually nearsighted.

"Speaking of which, daily necessities are still somewhat scarce. Danzhu Cangxuan, and I all have torn clothes."

When they woke up, they were all wearing Moth Chasers to Fire combat suits, which were adaptable to various environments and provided sufficient protection. However, after a month of survival in the wilderness, their combat suits were all worn out.

"But clothes are secondary... the main thing is shoes. I've sewed the soles of my shoes three times this month, and Danzhu has sewed about the same number of soles for Cangxuan. If this continues, we might have to wrap our feet in animal hides, or even walk barefoot."

This environment is terrible; even their normally sturdy clothes couldn't withstand their use like this.

Cangxuan could swap clothes with Danzhu once, but Hua...

Then, thinking about the two people outside currently wrestling, and how they would probably have to do laundry afterward, and that some holes in their clothes might even get bigger, Hua's head was already starting to ache.

"Shoes... you can go without them if you really can't. Shoes aren't essential for you anyway, and mosquito bites probably won't hurt you much."

Liu Bai thought for a moment. He remembered that of the three people, only Hua had put on shoes in the end.

Shoe?

This thing is really not a necessity for them, is it?

"Shouldn't we still wear it?" Hua, whose thinking was somewhat rigid, found the idea hard to accept. "But we'll have to wait and see... Let's talk about what we're having for dinner tonight."

To be honest, could this little house be considered a love nest?

Hmm... it shouldn't count, right?

After all, this was so different from the family Hua had envisioned... Well, the difference wasn't really a problem; Hua didn't really care about such trivial matters. The problem was, there were two lively characters in this love nest...

And she even started calling her teacher "the boss"... Although it's not nice to say it like that, Hua has a bit of a stereotype about the term "boss".

But Danzhu Cangxuan... it shouldn't be that bad, right?

If these two get any ideas, when Mobius wakes up and finds out, he'll probably tear these two clowns apart.

After all, it seems that Mobius's romantic history has always been one of being betrayed by those around him...

Chapter 457 With sisters united, how can we possibly defeat a single general!

"Why did you make that subtle expression?" Liu Bai looked at his student with a strange expression.

Although he didn't know why, he had a feeling that Hua wasn't thinking anything good...

"I just suddenly remembered the doctor..." Hua didn't say which doctor, but Liu Bai felt like he had discovered something.

"Mobius, right?"

"Who knows?" Hua calmly adjusted his Void Glasses. "I'll tidy up the room. I'll leave Danzhu Cangxuan outside to you, teacher."

"... Alright then." Liu Bai didn't say anything, since Mobius had ruined his own life.

Judging from everyone's reaction to Mobius's juvenile form, if it weren't for the fact that Mobius's physique and fighting ability are mostly online, everyone would have started to persecute Mobius long ago. It's estimated that only Huaneng and Mobius would have made do with it.

Well, even best friends like Elysia and Eden wouldn't mind teasing Mobius a bit about this kind of thing... because Mobius has such a haughty attitude...

Liu Bai silently went outside and saw Danzhu Cangxuan lying on the ground, their clothes disheveled.

It seems that the sisters' battle had already come to an end in just a few minutes...

"Honey! Our clothes are ruined!"

Seeing Liu Bai come out, Danzhu, who was lying on the ground panting, raised her hand and said.

"Go find a bone needle and sew it up yourself." Liu Bai was exasperated. Looking at the two clowns covered in dirt, Liu Bai was also a little tired. "We only have a few clothes, and you've ruined them."

Although theoretically these three girls could do without shoes or even clothes, the problem is that they are still civilized people, just that their technology is temporarily in a primitive stage, and they are not so poor that they need to run around naked.

"Um... I mean, the bone needle might not be able to stitch it up."

Danzhu shifted her body, took off two pieces of cloth from her body, revealing her flat figure wrapped in underwear and large expanses of fair skin...

"..."

Liu Bai fell silent, then looked at Cangxuan.

"... I used a little force." Cangxuan turned his head to the side, gazing at the sea and pretending nothing was wrong.

"... Keep trying and sew it up. I think you can still manage to sew it up if you try."

"It definitely can't be sewn up." Danzhu sat up. "With modern needles and thread, even if it were sewn up, it would tear in less than two days. That little bit of plant fiber won't do any good."

"Then why did you call me?" Liu Bai's lips twitched. So you know you can't sew it up!

"Uh, because I had a rather bold idea?" Danzhu gave a sheepish chuckle. "For example, I could prepare a piece of animal hide to wrap around myself, and then Liu Bai, you could possess it and farm stats. Maybe you could just farm out clothes that fit perfectly? Like some kind of magic robe or something."

"Then you should at least make it look like clothing. If you just wrap animal hide around your body, I'm afraid that if I possess it, the animal hide is more likely to turn into some kind of Druid epic equipment than into a well-fitting piece of clothing."

Liu Bai rolled his eyes. Danzhu really dared to think... Well, although this suggestion was indeed somewhat feasible.

The basic elements of possession are actually only two: the level of the item itself and the universal definition of the item.

If the possessed item is confirmed to be clothing, the possession effect will almost certainly be heavily biased towards clothing.

Moreover, the non-special effects brought about by possession are very likely to remain even after the possession ends.

What is a special effect? For example, if Liu Bai possesses a doll and applies a curse to it, that's a proper special effect. Once Liu Bai ends the possession, the curse will immediately disappear.

However, if the amplification is something like that, then after Liu Bai ends the possession, there is a chance that it will not disappear or will only partially fade away. The fading part is very likely because part of this amplification is material amplification and the other part is special effect amplification, and what fades away is the special effect amplification.

Furthermore, the more common and simpler an item is, the more likely it is to have physics-related attributes, while the more advanced and complex an item is, the more likely it is to have special effects attributes, since most advanced items tend to be conceptual...

However, this characteristic of retaining altered physical properties may not be entirely a good thing. After all, with multiple possessions, the randomly retained physical properties alone are enough to make it impossible for people to tell what the thing originally was.

So although Danzhu's idea was somewhat far-fetched, it wasn't entirely unworkable.

Liu Bai had thought of this before, but considering the girls' sense of shame, he didn't bring it up.

After all, the most important factor in clothing is fit, meaning it must fit the body and be in some way intimate with Liu Bai's skin.

And incidentally, as a basic item, the clothes he possesses might have three or four entries appearing at once.

Liu Bai knew that this kind of thing was indeed a test of a normal girl's sense of shame... Well, without anyone telling him, Liu Bai knew that the two clowns in front of him were obviously not normal girls.

"No problem, making a simple garment is a piece of cake." Danzhu didn't mention the sewing machine.

After all, cables are quite precious these days; it's not like you can go kill spiders and destroy their webs...

Moreover, even if we take a step back, for the two sisters, patiently operating the sewing machine is actually quite a torturous thing, so with Liu Bai as a shortcut, Danzhu naturally doesn't mind taking it.

"But shouldn't we keep some small pets at home, like silkworms or something..."

"Honey, I'm hungry."

Cangxuan interrupted their conversation with a blank and innocent expression.

"Hey... Sis, can you stop saying you're hungry right away?"

Danzhu, whose train of thought had been interrupted, looked helpless, realizing that her older sister was completely incapable of taking care of herself.

Before, he would yell at himself that he was hungry; now he yells at Liu Bai that he is hungry.

Basically, she was crying out for food, practically begging someone to dress her...

Cangxuan paused for a moment, then turned to Danzhu: "Danzhu, I'm hungry."

"... Fine, sister, you should just call him 'head of the household'." Danzhu covered her face, thinking that her sister's self-care ability was probably hopeless.

I'm very worried that my sister might starve to death if she's alone outside.

"There are still these fruits and wild vegetables in the house. Danzhu, light the fire and I'll go get the vegetables. Let's make a soup first, we'll have to wait a while for dinner."

"OK."

Danzhu walked towards the makeshift campfire surrounded by stones, and used his Honkai Energy, stuffing it under the dry grass and branches.

Honkai Energy is so convenient...

"Danzhu, aren't you wearing any clothes?"

As Danzhu watched the flames slowly rise, Cangxuan suddenly asked a question.

"Huh? Clothes? Wear them." Danzhu looked at her older sister in surprise. "Why are you suddenly asking this?"

"... Aren't you ashamed? Like this?"

Cangxuan blushed slightly as he looked at his younger sister, who was only wearing underwear, revealing a large expanse of fair skin.

When a cute person unconsciously reveals a large amount of skin, there is an invisible allure.

Cangxuan felt that this might not be appropriate?

"Hey... Sister, why are you asking this?" Danzhu pondered for a moment, propping her head up. "A little bit? But it's nothing. Anyway, we might all live together for thousands of years. By then, there will definitely be nothing left to do, and everything that should be seen and touched will have been done. You were the first to call Liu Bai 'the head of the household,' right? But you weren't prepared at all."

Mental preparation?

Cangxuan paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "If I were to say that what I actually meant was the literal meaning of 'head of the family'... would you believe me Danzhu?"

I don't believe it.

Danzhu rolled her eyes, not buying it. Cangxuan's social skills were almost zero, not her intelligence. What did it mean when she called Liu Bai "the head of the household" in the Moth Chasers to Fire? Her sister knew perfectly well. It was one thing to fool outsiders, but to use that to fool her own sister was heartless!

Rather than saying he didn't understand, it would be more accurate to say that Cangxuan started to back down when faced with a problem, since his older sister didn't even have experience with dating.

Putting aside everything else, the games Danzhu has played alone are enough to guarantee that she's seen pigs run.

Cangxuan turned his head away, unable to refute.

Danzhu then launched into a long conversation. "To be honest, shouldn't Liu Bai be the one to take care of the kids? Kevin is utterly incompetent at taking care of children. If he were to do it, he'd probably starve the kids for three days straight."

"Oh, and Dr. Mobius, why is she so fixated on her perfect body? Can't she settle for something less? Make an ordinary body and put it here to hibernate with us? Once she wakes up, with the three of us (one man and three women), we could easily build a small tribe in thirty years, okay? This kind of spark is much more unstable."

In reality, Danzhu and Cangxuan are both close to thirty years old. After all, these two joined after the Third Honkai Eruption and can be considered early veterans of the Moth Chasers to Fire. However, they look really young and are always lively, so people don't really care about their age.

But to be honest, these two are actually well past the age of marriage... well, they're even a bit past it.

"If Dr. Mobius would do that, she wouldn't be called Mobius."

Cangxuan's words have a double meaning—If she doesn't pursue perfection, is she still Mobius? If she lets you cheat, is she still Mobius?

"Moreover, whether Liu Bai will appear is also an unknown."

"Can't I even offer some hindsight?" Danzhu stretched. "But if the Doctor knew that Liu Bai had spent hundreds, thousands, or even millions of years with us, wouldn't he be furious?"

To reiterate, Danzhu Cangxuan and Mobius did not have a good personal relationship. The two of them were only there to watch Mobius make a fool of Mobius.

"Let's unite as sisters and annihilate Dr. Mobius!"

Cangxuan silently covered his face.

She could never be as incredibly optimistic as her younger sister.

And... Danzhu was right, she was a little timid.

After all, Liu Bai was the only man she had a good relationship with in her life... and the others were just acquaintances.

I was completely unprepared for any intimate behavior.

Chapter 458 Danzhu's Bold Idea

When Liu Bai came out of the house with her things, the two sisters tacitly stopped talking.

Danzhu then took the pot filled with water and fruits and vegetables from Liu Bai, skillfully stuffed them into the pot, and then hung it on the fire.

"What were you two talking about just now?" Liu Bai seemed to have noticed the two people's unease and asked with some curiosity.

Danzhu was alright, but Cangxuan was clearly avoiding his gaze.

"We talked about having children." Danzhu was clearly not as shy and socially awkward as Cangxuan, and answered Liu Bai's question directly.

"Ah?"
