Chapter 376: Chapter 374 Chicken Sculpture

Nian Shutong followed Dou Dou’s direction and looked over.

At this time, Dou Dou was sitting on the ground, with the Little Pink Pig being pressed down beside him, despite the Little Pink Pig’s objections.

"Little Fen, when we get back, Dou Dou will give you a bath."

Dou Dou spoke in a very soft voice, vigilantly scanning the surroundings and waving Nian Shutong over with a small hand.

"Auntie, auntie, come!"

Nian Shutong, both curious and amused, squatted down and softly inquired in cooperation with Dou Dou.

"What’s the matter? Did you find some treasure?"

Dou Dou’s eyes widened as he nodded vigorously, his little hands forming a megaphone shape, and he leaned close to Nian Shutong’s ear.

"Auntie, there are statues, statues like Yangyang!"

Statues?

Here?

Nian Shutong hugged Dou Dou’s little cheeks and kissed him fiercely.

"You really are my good Dou Dou!"

She was indeed in need of statues.

The toxins on Blue Star were abundant, but with her several advancements, it had become a sporadic issue.

Moreover, around the small wooden house, not a single spot suitable for cultivation and absorption of toxins remained.

She had to travel far for cultivation, which was quite inconvenient.

All of her Poison Sculptures had been used up, and she hadn’t expected that in picking up an egg, she’d also find a statue.

With his cheeks kissed, Dou Dou’s little face turned red, and his eyes twinkled as he cheered silently in his heart:

Auntie kissed me!

Auntie kissed me!

Auntie must love Dou Dou the most.

"Dou Dou, where is it?"

Dou Dou had already fallen into immense joy and hadn’t heard Nian Shutong’s words, but the Little Pink Pig moved its behind slightly.

A small wave-shaped object was revealed.

"This looks familiar."

No sooner had Nian Shutong spoken when a rooster strutted past in front of them, its bright red comb attracting their gaze.

"Oh... talk about getting what you wish for!"

Nian Shutong began digging with her bare hands, and in no time, she unearthed a statue of a rooster.

Filled with toxins just like the others, without any leakage.

Of the zodiac, she now possessed Rat, Snake, Goat, Dog, Pig, and now a Rooster.

Out of the twelve, she had nearly half already.

Nian Shutong put away the Chicken Sculpture, planning to mainly absorb this statue in the near future. Once the rooster was unlocked, the issue of it strutting around and laying eggs should be solved.

For now, she’d let the robots and the kids play with it.

After about another half hour of searching, Fu Yunhe came looking for her.

Seeing Fu Yunhe clambering up the hill, Nian Shutong stared unblinkingly at him for a while.

Fu Yunhe, feeling a bit uncomfortable, looked left and right at his hands, even wishing he had a small mirror to check his face.

Could he have become ugly?

If Nian Shutong had known what was going through Fu Yunhe’s mind, she would have laughed until she was out of breath.

It wasn’t really Fu Yunhe’s fault for thinking that way; he was a man who had just begun to understand such things. In his previous life, aside from fighting, he had never been in love.

All the stories about "love" he knew were learned from people in the Legion.

Truly, he had not learned anything useful.

In Fu Yunhe’s view, whether it was now or in the future, he was destined to be no match for Nian Shutong. So, the only thing that could attract Nian Shutong to him was his beauty, which was still presentable, plus his ability to make money.

However, ever since Nian Shutong unlocked the Sculpture Skill, her earning potential had skyrocketed, making him feel very insecure.

"Uncle Xiao He, what are you looking for?"

"Huh? Nothing."

Fu Yunhe felt somewhat uneasy as he replied, taking a few steps forward and asked casually, "What are you looking at?"

Nian Shutong pointed a finger at Fu Yunhe, sizing him up and down several times.

"Looking at you."

"Haven’t you noticed any changes in yourself?"

Changes?

Fu Yunhe touched his face with one hand, asking nervously, "Could it be... I’ve become uglier?"

"?"

Nian Shutong was absolutely bewildered, followed by bursting into laughter, clutching her stomach as she laughed wildly.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

"I’m dying of laughter!"

"Do you still care about your looks? I thought... I thought you despised your own appearance!"

Nian Shutong wasn’t just talking nonsense; she wondered how a former Commander could like his current appearance.

Another reason was that Ha Ha’s rejection of the current Fu Yunhe was all because the Commander didn’t like it.

Fu Yunhe looked at Nian Shutong with a mixture of helplessness and worry. He extended his hand several times, wanting to steady Nian Shutong, but he didn’t dare to actually touch her, just standing by, ready at any moment.

"Stop laughing. I’m just trying to accept everything about myself."

Finally, Nian Shutong stopped laughing, looked at Fu Yunhe, and said, "You’re right, we should all accept it."

Fu Yunhe, hearing Nian Shutong’s words, realized this was the first time she had indirectly responded that she was not her original self.

Was she starting to accept herself more?

While Fu Yunhe was lost in his thoughts, Nian Shutong answered his first question.

"Didn’t you notice that you could come up this hill in one breath?"

"And not feel tired at all."

After Nian Shutong finished speaking, Dou Dou, who had been quietly staying by her side, agreed enthusiastically, "Right, Uncle Xiao He used to not walk as much as Dou Dou!"

Fu Yunhe stopped his train of thought, glanced at Dou Dou, and then looked at Nian Shutong, saying, "It’s all because of you."

A single phrase, "because of you," made Nian Shutong look at Fu Yunhe suspiciously.

"Are you sick? You’re speaking strangely."

A burst of enthusiasm was extinguished without a spark left.

Fu Yunhe composed his expression, not letting Nian Shutong see anything; otherwise, he wouldn’t stand a chance.

"What I mean is, you heal, I pay, I earn money for you."

Nian Shutong stared at Fu Yunhe for a moment, unable to detect anything, but then said, "You’re right, you need to earn more money. I still have more expensive things to do."

"Hmm? What kind of things?"

"I ask you, isn’t Blue Star situated at a strategic position between the Insect Race and interstellar travel?"

Nian Shutong responded with a question of her own.

Fu Yunhe nodded.

"That’s good, I plan to make Blue Star the largest Trade Center Transfer Station."

"That should require a lot of money, right?"

Fu Yunhe didn’t know how to respond; not just a lot of money, but an incalculable amount.

"The idea is very good, I believe you can achieve it, and I will work hard to earn money."

"However..."

"However, what?"

"To establish a Transfer Station, you need a certain number of contribution points to qualify."

So that’s how it was.

For the first time, Nian Shutong learned about this matter, which she decided on after returning from the outside.

"No rush, we are still far from it."

"At the very least, Blue Star needs to be developed to a certain level, many things have to be fully matured."

"But the day will eventually come."

Nian Shutong wasn’t making an idle prediction; she had commodities that were scarce among interstellar people. Once Blue Star was developed, powerful, with new and scarce goods, the Transfer Station would undoubtedly be the best choice.
