Clay Figurine

"Pfft—"

Danzhu giggled at Xu Yanwu's actions, "Uncle Xu Yanwu, what are you doing? You look hilarious."

"...Really?"

Xu Yanwu shifted his gaze from Danzhu to Chi Yuan, "Is it really that funny?"

Chi Yuan covered her mouth with her hand, her lips clearly curling into a smile, "Actually... it's just okay."

Fine, it seemed it really was hilarious.

After slightly soothing his wounded pride, Xu Yanwu took both girls by the hands and led them deeper into the cave, intending to do some hehehe things... wait, no, he was going to find the Secret Treasure Danzhu mentioned.

Even though Xu Yanwu, who remembered the plot, knew it was just some clay ore...

But hey, if he was going to be digging in a cave with two beautiful girls, what did it matter if it was mining?

Call me by my full name!

Xu · Hardcore Miner · Clay Miner · Yan · Xing Tian · Yinglong · Wu!

"Uncle Xu Yanwu, why are you holding our hands!"

Danzhu, blushing, pulled her hand away from Xu Yanwu. Chi Yuan had already let go and was now flexing her fist, contemplating whether to unleash Inch Punch: Heaven Splitting on Xu Yanwu.

"Ahahaha, I was just worried you two would get lost in the cave, you know, it's pitch black in here..."

Xu Yanwu laughed it off, trying to brush past the fact that he'd been holding the girls' hands for his own gain.

Hmm! Danzhu's little hand is so soft!

Hmm! Chi Yuan's little hand is so...

"Inch Punch: Mountain Collapse!" "Bang!"

...So damn powerful...

Xu Yanwu climbed out of the crater in the wall, covered in dust, with an embarrassed expression. How was he supposed to flirt now after getting hit?

But Chi Yuan's Inch Punch: Mountain Collapse really packed a punch. As expected of my black-stockinged Fu... she's amazing...

"Ahem, okay, enough fooling around... let's hurry and find the Secret Treasure. It's something important for the continuation of civilization..."

<strong>[EMPHASIS! This is for Otto to hear when he reviews Fu Hua's (Chi Yuan's) memories in the future!]

Then, Xu Yanwu saw the numerous Militants attracted by the sound of him being smashed into the wall, staring at the three of them menacingly...

"Whoa... this is quite troublesome..."

Xu Yanwu scratched his head and stood in front of Chi Yuan and Danzhu, shielding them, "You two go to a safer place. Leave this to me..."

"But you're alone..." Chi Yuan hesitated.

"I'll be fine alone. These Militants aren't a threat!" Xu Yanwu scoffed, grabbing a long spear from the air. The tip of the spear lightly touched the ground, "I'm not that weak."

"It's okay, Chi Yuan, Uncle Xu Yanwu is very strong! Let's hurry and go!"

Danzhu grabbed Chi Yuan's hand and they ran off.

"Seriously... Honkai contamination zones everywhere..."

After Danzhu and Chi Yuan left, Xu Yanwu muttered, "And you can't even eat the Militants... what a pain..."

"But it's been a while since I used this big spear meant for my Yinglong form..."

Xu Yanwu grinned lewdly as he scanned the curvaceous bodies of the surrounding Militants, "I'll use you guys to practice my big, thick, long spear!"

—Meanwhile—

"Chi Yuan! Look at this!" Danzhu excitedly held up a piece of clay ore and shouted to Chi Yuan, "I found the <strong>[Secret Treasure]!"

"This is... clay ore?"

Chi Yuan asked with confusion, "Is this the <strong>[Secret Treasure] you were talking about? It just looks like ordinary clay ore."

"It's not ordinary at all!" Danzhu retorted stubbornly, "The clay ore here is the best in terms of plasticity and flexibility!"

"But I don't understand how these clay blocks relate to creating myths and spreading civilization."

"Hmph, you wouldn't understand, but next, we're going to use these clay blocks to create Clay Figurines!"

"Clay Figurines?"

"To put it simply, they're figurines, like the ones Danzhu, the otaku, makes. Don't you know what kind of person she is, Chi Yuan?" Xu Yanwu's voice came from the side. Danzhu and Chi Yuan looked up and saw Xu Yanwu emerging from the cave entrance, carrying his blood-stained spear.

"Ew, Uncle Xu Yanwu is so dirty." Danzhu said with disgust.

"Who are you calling dirty?"

Xu Yanwu rolled his eyes, "Wasn't it to deal with those Militants? Did you find the clay?"

"We've already found it."

Chi Yuan pointed to the clay block in Danzhu's hand.

"Also, when you mentioned figurines, were you talking about those strange models?"

Xu Yanwu retorted, "Figurines aren't just weird models! Figurines are faith!"

Danzhu once again found herself on the same side as Xu Yanwu. "Yeah, yeah! Don't look down on figurines!"

"...Alright, but I still can't understand how clay figurines, made from lumps of clay, can spread civilization."

"..."

Xu Yanwu took two steps back and scrutinized Chi Yuan carefully, as if trying to imprint her onto his vision. Chi Yuan felt a wave of unease under his gaze. "Xu Yanwu, what are you looking at?"

"Chi Yuan, you've probably never seen manga or anime before, have you?" Xu Yanwu's brow twitched. Chi Yuan was indeed a bit too serious.

Hmm, confirmed by the look in her eyes, you're not one of us otaku.

Wow, Chi Yuan's eyes are really beautiful!

Xu Yanwu thought this with delight and withdrew his gaze.

"No, I haven't. What's wrong?" Chi Yuan asked curiously.

Xu Yanwu was momentarily speechless. He turned to Danzhu and said, "Danzhu, it seems it's time we introduced Chi Yuan to what a figurine is! Come on! Use your aesthetic sense! Embellish this person who doesn't know what a figurine is into a figurine!"

"Okay, Uncle Xu Yanwu! No problem, Uncle Xu Yanwu!"

Danzhu also got excited. In her hands, the lump of clay emitted a dazzling light [fake]!

"Ta-da!"

The once shapeless lump of clay, under Danzhu's masterful skill, had transformed into an almost perfect clay figurine of a woman.

The figurine's clothes were similar in style to Chi Yuan's, but slightly looser, giving the clay woman a more mature aura.

Her hair, a bit longer than Chi Yuan's, cascaded over her shoulders, giving a very natural feel. Her very feminine sitting posture was even more striking.

The most important point!

This clay figurine had a **!

Boobs! [Roar]

After seeing the clay figurine, even though it wasn't colored, all of Xu Yanwu's feelings were condensed into six words.

Damn!

Cute!

Want to lick!

After looking at the clay figurine for a long time, Chi Yuan finally asked.

"Who is this figurine...?"

"Hmph hmph!"

Danzhu said proudly, "Thank me! This is the image I embellished for you!"
