Danzhu's Bold Proposal (Continued)

Now it was Liu Bai's turn to be caught off guard; he really hadn't expected the topic to veer off to this point.

"Why do you look so surprised? We're all adults, isn't it normal to talk about these kinds of things?" Danzhu rested her chin on her hand. "Hey, Liu Bai, what about you? If you were to have a child, would you have any plans to have children?"

"I'm a man, I can't have children," Liu Bai replied, seemingly unrelated to the question.

Danzhu's question contains two parts: one is the literal question of whether he had a plan.

The other one... is probably "who to have the child with".

Liu Bai wouldn't fall into such a trap, so he simply pretended not to understand.

Danzhu curled her lip at this, just as she didn't believe her sister didn't understand what "head of the household" meant, she also didn't believe that Liu Bai, this heart-stealing thief who was surrounded by a bunch of beauties, wouldn't understand this issue.

"Hesitating when faced with this kind of question, Liu Bai, are you some kind of male protagonist from a dating sim?"

"I wish I were the male protagonist in a dating sim, where I could make everyone happy just by following the plot and making some choices." Liu Bai rolled her eyes. "Please, some otaku girl, don't confuse games with reality."

"Waaah, you who turns reality into a harem romance comedy, what right do you have to criticize me? You're the one who's about to enter the harem ending." Danzhu stuck her tongue out at Liu Bai, a little unhappy.

In Danzhu's view, regarding the degree of mutual restraint and tolerance among the Moth Chasers to Fire, if there is no Finality and Liu Bai has a body, then they will definitely enter the harem route.

You, a man who's practically a harem protagonist in the real world, have the nerve to tell me not to confuse reality with games? Your absurdity is beyond what's acceptable even for a typical romance game protagonist. You'd probably only be considered a "normal male protagonist" in those erotic games that are purely for the sake of being erotic.

So when you criticize me, can't you at least look in the mirror?

"..."

Liu Bai suddenly fell silent.

Although he wanted to refute Danzhu's words, upon careful consideration, he realized that the relationships around him were indeed bordering on absurd.

"... Our epic is a heroic epic, a human epic."

"Oh, so that's a harem romance epic." Danzhu continued to stick her tongue out at Liu Bai.

Danzhu did not deny the bloody battles they had fought, but what they were talking about now was clearly not such a serious matter. Moreover, as eyewitnesses, the two of them had the right to chat about it casually.

Speaking of Liu Bai alone, this guy is truly outrageous.

Liu Bai covered her face.

"Okay, let's be reasonable. Their relationship is actually self-regulating. I didn't really do anything."

When it came to this, Liu Bai was initially a little confused. He didn't need to become a time management master and use sweet words everywhere to manage the relationships between these people. These people had already taken care of their relationships on their own.

Although Liu Bai didn't quite understand the principle behind this, Liu Bai accepted it decisively because it was a good thing.

"If you weren't here, these people would have started tearing each other apart long ago." Danzhu rolled her eyes.

No one dared to tell Liu Bai about the week he was missing. Although on the surface nothing much happened except for a slight decrease in work efficiency, the underlying feeling was that if Liu Bai didn't return for several weeks or months, the group would break up...

Do you even know what a towering white jade pillar or a purple-gold beam spanning the sea means? Those people do have the ability to mediate, but that ability is contingent on Liu Bai being there...

"On the other hand, it's also because Eden and Aili are too strong, and then Aponia came along. Everyone either gave up or banded together for warmth. In addition, none of the three of them are aggressive, so this group of people have such excellent self-regulation ability."

Danzhu, as a professional spectator... cough cough, a professional historian, knew all about the messy affairs of that group of people.

However, now that she was involved herself, Danzhu felt there was no need for her to make any further comments.

"So, getting back to the point, Liu Bai, do you really not have any plans to have children?"

"Wake up, Danzhu, how many dating sims have you seen that involve the male protagonist having children?"

"Don't confuse the virtual with the real!" Danzhu puffed out her bare chest and accused him righteously.

That sounds so familiar... Liu Bai's expression was subtle.

"I really want to punch you right now... so why did you ask that question?"

"Hmm... Well, it's because my sister and I both want to play dating games, and don't you think our current primitive state is perfect for talking about some rather primitive topics?"

"What game?" Hua suddenly appeared behind Danzhu without her noticing. "A dating game?"

His tone remained calm and composed, as always.

However, considering Hua's silent appearance behind Danzhu, there was a hint of unease in his calm tone.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Danzhu was clearly startled, but she quickly composed herself and turned to Hua nonchalantly, "We can actually form a flat-chested alliance! Together we can fight against those big-breasted monsters!"

On the other side, Cangxuan seemed not to have heard anything and slowly stirred the vegetables in the pot with a spoon.

How far she goes as the older sister depends entirely on her younger sister's performance.

"..."

Hua fell silent.

She was a bit tongue-tied, and she never expected that Danzhu, who had been caught red-handed, would not feel guilty at all, and would even form some kind of flat-chested alliance with a straight face.

"... Mei and Mobius used to have some kind of alliance, but I heard it didn't last even a day."

"It didn't even last ten minutes," Danzhu corrected. "That proves the despicable nature of big breasts! We flat-chested women are the sacred allies!"

So embarrassing...

Hua felt an urge to turn away and rub his forehead.

I have no way of keeping up with this guy's train of thought. What's with all this talk about being despicable and sacred? What does that even mean?

Then again, how did I even get along with Danzhu before? Was it really just because we were from the same hometown...?

Oh, it seems they became friends just by chatting. That's really unexpected...

Hua fell silent, completely at a loss for words, and could only stare silently at Danzhu in front of him.

"Ahem, Hua, why are you staring at me like that? This is our only chance to stick together and keep warm, or I'll just stick together with my sister."

Feeling a little guilty under Hua's gaze, Danzhu quickly added more.

"And doesn't Hua think now is a good opportunity?"

"... A good opportunity?" Hua asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Yes! It's just the three of us and Liu Bai, and we have a lot of time. Isn't this a golden opportunity?"

"...?"

Hua fell into deep thought once again.

Can anyone tell her what Danzhu is saying right now?

Is it that the three of them can have a four-person party with Liu Bai? Or is it the kind of party limited to those with small breasts? But are you sure this is a good opportunity?

Besides, this is nothing like a good opportunity for her... Wouldn't it be a better opportunity if I put you two back into Stasis Pod? It would just turn into a world of two, with the man plowing and the woman weaving.

I can have the teacher all to myself, okay...?

I'm very confused.

Danzhu seemed to notice Hua's puzzled expression. She spoke up, "Ahem, Hua, isn't your dream to be born—mmm!"

Upon hearing the word "dream," Hua immediately lunged forward and pinned Danzhu down.

Is it even allowed to talk about that kind of thing? Is it even allowed to talk about?

That's about having children!

Um... wait a minute, why did Danzhu suddenly bring this up? The teacher is a ghost now.

Hua suddenly loosened his grip on Danzhu: "Danzhu... do you have a way?"

The two exchanged a glance, Danzhu immediately understood Hua's meaning, nodding repeatedly.

Me! Dan Zhu, who knows a little bit about everything!

Do you think I can't create ordinary androids? Besides, I have a whole bunch of Herrscher of a Thousand cores around me.

To be honest, cultivating a small amount of flesh and blood around the Herrscher Core and then having Liu Bai possess it to reproduce itself is also a physical approach!

Other Herrscher may not have this ability, but the Herrscher of a Thousand definitely have the ability to change the essence of the body, as long as the Herrscher Core fits into the flesh.

This method is only a little scary in process, a little less successful, a little more random, and a little more time-consuming. As for the rest? Nothing else is needed. No high technology is required. Everything can be left to Liu Bai.

The final body created will be exactly the same as Liu Bai's original body, and theoretically, the Herrscher Core can be extracted afterward... After all, Liu Bai was able to successfully possess and create a body, which means that the resulting attribute is definitely related to vitality. As long as the possession state is maintained, the extracted core will most likely not result in death but will self-regenerate.

After self-regeneration, wouldn't it be a perfectly standard artificial body? Moreover, it would be an absolute match for Liu Bai, or even the original body.

The reasons why Mobius didn't use this method are quite simple: first, it takes too long; second, it would lock Liu Bai down for a long time; and third, it doesn't conform to Mobius's ideal of perfection.

But now everyone has plenty of time, Liu Bai is free, and none of us are perfectionists like Mobius who are obsessed with saving face.

What's wrong with a normal body? What's wrong with a normal body? It may be normal, but it's easy to clone!

Regarding Mobius's almost god-like plan to create Liu Bai's body, Danzhu was just watching the show and didn't bother to comment.

To be honest, if Mobius had created this thing, Liu Bai would have been an absolutely perfect human being, or even a celestial being or a god.

But if you wolves and tigers mess it up, even if the materials can be recycled, how long will it take you to rebuild it? And I don't believe there isn't some coincidence involved in this thing!

Even if you follow the steps exactly again, the result may be completely different—like a line of code that might not have been changed at all, but would crash on a different computer.

So it's great to be an ordinary person; it's so easy to copy and fine-tune, not to mention it's all original.

Danzhu actually had serious doubts about whether the resulting divine human form, based on Mobius's method, would still be capable of reproduction...

Hua's strength eased a little.

Danzhu continued his pursuit, muttering under his breath, "Hua, you see, teaching our own sons and daughters is always easier than teaching some unrelated primitive people, right? Primitive people have to figure out how to establish authority, and they have to persuade everyone they meet..."

"..."

Okay, Walt admits, she was indeed somewhat tempted.

What are you two talking about?

Suddenly feeling a chill, Liu Bai slowly approached the two and asked in a low voice.

"Are you perhaps considering some kind of physical cultivation?"

"No." Hua Shao told a lie.

"Well, that's good." Liu Bai gave Hua a deep look. "After all, I don't want our children to suffer in primitive society."

"..."

After a brief silence, Hua tightened his grip again, acting as if nothing had happened.

Danzhu resigned himself to his fate and immediately stopped struggling.

Liu Bai's words cooled down the two people who were actually a bit hot-blooded.

That makes perfect sense.

Putting aside the fact that the two of them were a bit carried away just now, once they calmed down and put themselves in the mother's shoes, they both agreed that they must be crazy to let their son and daughter suffer in a primitive society.

Danzhu was practically saying that he himself was incredibly bored in this primitive society, so let's not talk about children anymore.

It's fine for everyone to fantasize occasionally, but please don't let your own children suffer like that.

If Hua hadn't been holding Danzhu down, she would have immediately said, "I was just talking nonsense."

However, seeing that Danzhu looked just as dejected as he did, Hua understood that Danzhu had calmed down as well, so he let go of Danzhu as well.

"Just pretend I didn't say anything." Danzhu sighed. "The head of the household is indeed the head of the household."

He's completely seen through...

"I will," Hua said, indicating that she hadn't heard anything.

Cangxuan, who had already started drinking his soup, silently watched the three of them put on their show.

That's really interesting.

I thought that without Dr. Mobius, I would never see such an interesting scene again.

For a fleeting moment, Cangxuan almost thought he was still that gossip-loving person in the office back then.

Unfortunately, I can't help Danzhu in this regard.

Cangxuan drank the vegetable soup in the pot in one gulp, then slowly looked at Liu Bai while holding the stone pot. "Master, I'm hungry."

"... Cangxuan, you don't have a glutton persona, do you?" Liu Bai fell silent as he looked at Cangxuan, who had emptied the pot at some point.

"I'm hungry because I've used up too much energy."

"You haven't been doing any energy activities at all! Your most recent activity was just tearing Danzhu's clothes off!"

"Hungry—~~"
