Great, we're doomed now!

"Huh? Wait—"

Just as Ye Shou was about to grab Bayeri, she had already slipped smoothly underneath. Keep in mind that she was quite tall for a woman, and the space under the platform was enough to hide her... It was truly amazing.

"Don't move around, what if you accidentally get bitten?"

As soon as he finished speaking, several seat belts bound Ye Shou's hands and feet to the seat, causing a flicker of unease to cross his mind—

Am I not a king? Why am I being tied with "reins"?

[Fate Coins +7 (Bayeri)!]

-

After being shaken by the Gundam, Ye Shousuo was surprised to receive Destiny Coins. However, since she had already transformed from a machine spirit into a mechanical life form with a real soul, crossing that invisible boundary, it wasn't surprising.

After all, although Ye Shou has significantly altered the timeline of "Iron Blood," it was originally a treasure similar to the Imperial Seal of the State. After Ye Shou's intervention, its importance only increased, and according to the setting of fantasy novels, it is a treasure of destiny.

But getting benefits just by touching a pretty girl... feels a bit strange.

Thinking about it carefully, he did acquire quite a few Destiny Coins in this way—could he be considered a gigolo in some sense?

Bayeri was much more carefree than him, stating frankly that Ye Shou could still use her as he pleased, no matter how rough the operation or how exaggerated the maneuvering, she could accept it all, just like before.

Do not let unnecessary distractions affect your actions. If you are distracted and make a mistake on the battlefield, Bayeri will get angry.

Although she has become a "human", she still cannot escape the mark of weapons. Her desire for victory far exceeds that of Ye Shou. If she were to be given various considerations just because she is a girl, she would probably feel that Ye Shou is insulting her.

Incidentally, for the same reason, when she and Ye Shou were fiercely battling in the cockpit, competing to see who was the "king" and who was the "mount," she also demanded that Ye Shou go all out and charge at her, ignoring whoever surrendered first, and insisting on continuing to the end.

The weak deserve to be humiliated!

A complete breakdown and painful pleas for mercy are the expressions befitting a loser.

Fortunately, Ye Shou had enough stamina and physical defense, otherwise he might have been attacked by the backlash.

Moreover, he could vaguely sense that Bayeri and Ruri were very similar in some ways... Should he call it overprotection or possessiveness? But if Ye Shou couldn't suppress them, he would be subjected to "health management" instead.

In fact, during the period when she had just confirmed her relationship with the maid, she really planned to do that and started to put it into practice, but later she gradually realized that she was overestimating herself, so she never mentioned it again...

It's fair to say he had a tough time too.

Another month passed. Apart from returning to One-Punch Man to fight a few monsters and the appearance of a twin-tailed monster named "Litmarus" in the main world, nothing unusual happened. It was a rare peaceful day.

Previously, monster disasters such as the Wood God Alien, Kirielord, and Shadow Wizard occurred frequently in a short period of time. Ye Shou thought that it was going to start a series of hellish battles like the neighboring "Triga", but now it seems that it was just a coincidence.

He gained quite a bit from this series of events. In addition to accumulating 330 Destiny Coins, most importantly, he took the opportunity to strengthen [Bayeri] and [Berserker], which raised his overall combat power to a new level.

Ordinary monsters no longer pose a threat to him. Except for a few that require attention, Ye Shou is willing to let Daigo and the others train him.

Of course, Jeep training is still being conducted; this glorious tradition must not be lost.

Masaki and Shinjo had already decided to establish an "Ultra Brotherhood." Any new members who joined in the future would have to undergo special training to strengthen their physique and temper their will—it was all out of love from their seniors!

For Ye Shoulai, he has been struggling with how to make a choice these past two days.

The latest system card is quite interesting. Although it's not the type that directly enhances combat power, it's a very powerful support card with the theme "King of Figurines".

The cheaper terms are for improving skills and teaching people how to sculpt figurines, but we won't discuss that for now.

Mid-range clay figurines are more valuable, as they can inspire people in the field of art and allow them to incorporate their own works, adding "spirit" to ordinary clay figurines. They are excellent mediums for spiritual communication, and if placed in the hands of someone like an Onmyoji, with a little nurturing, they can become shikigami or tsukumogami.

However, it wouldn't be of much use to Ye Shou.

What truly captivated him were the highest-tier entries, valued at around "10," two of which were for creating his own Divine Body and for creating the Divine Body of his enemies.

Using special materials combined with one's own life force, palm-sized clay figurines are created that can transcend spatial barriers through a soul connection, releasing power through the clay figurine as a vessel!

Simply put, it's like the ancestral tablets or statues in cultivation novels. At crucial moments, a shout can summon the ancestors from thousands of miles away or even an entire realm to clear obstacles for future generations.

Of course, this "divine body" isn't that overpowered. Judging from the description alone, it's still ultimately a technique of Onmyoji, capable of remotely manifesting avatars or something.

The energy contained in the "Divine Body" depends on the type of material, and no matter how solid the material is, there is always an invisible upper limit.

However, the value of an entry depends on how it is used. The same technology in the hands of an ordinary person is a completely different thing from the technology in the hands of Ultraman!

Upon seeing this description, Ye Shou immediately thought of the most suitable material for creating the Divine Body—

Wow! Is this for me? Thank you!

Shirogane Kei jumped up and down happily, the hem of her maid outfit swaying with her movements, revealing glimpses of white stockings and her absolute territory. However, she quickly calmed down and stood there properly, but couldn't help but lift and lower her toes, revealing a hint of undisguised joy.

"Master gave the maid a gift... Is it inappropriate for me to accept it?"

"It's not really a master-servant relationship, just consider it a reward from the boss for the hard work of the employees."

Ye Shoujiang, sitting in his swivel chair facing the silver-haired girl, stroked his chin: "That's not quite right... classmate? relative? Well, there's no particular reason, I just think this suits you well."

"Really? What is it? I'm curious~"

Ribbons? Clothes? Game software? Ahh, I can't resist, can I open it?

"Of course, it's yours now."

Gui took the gift box with a grin, eagerly opening it to take a look. His eyes lit up immediately: "How exquisite! Is this... me?"

It wasn't anything particularly valuable, and it was certainly more modest compared to jewelry, but it struck a chord with Bai Yin Gui, making her so happy that her voice became shrill.

"It seems... here, here, here... the hair is so fine, amazing!"

Thank you, Brother Ye Shou!

The silver-haired girl held a doll that was twenty centimeters tall, including its base, with obvious affection. Her cheeks were rosy and her eyes sparkled, as if little stars were about to pop out of them.

Because this doll is not an ordinary anime figure, but was meticulously made to perfectly resemble Kei!

Its coloring, texture, and movement are so lifelike that it seems as if you are seeing a girl in a long dress and a straw hat walking on the beach. A cool breeze blows, making the hem of her dress ripple like waves, and her long silver hair is blown into disarray. She reaches out and presses the brim of her hat to her ear in distress—this scene has been frozen in time forever.

They can even count each individual eyebrow hair!

"I look like a rich young lady like this." Gui looked around, and couldn't help but peek under her skirt. Then she glanced guiltily at Ye Shou, and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that he wasn't paying attention.

There's no way around it, it's just too detailed, making one wonder if every part was reproduced one-to-one... Fortunately, the creator still has common sense and didn't do anything embarrassing in the name of art.

Yes, art!

Gui wasn't really qualified to judge this, but she was absolutely convinced that the doll had reached an artistic level. After all, it gave the impression that if you weren't careful, it might just fall off the stage!

"I love this gift so much... I'll cherish it!"

"That's good." Ye Shou smiled upon hearing this.

"How was this made?"

Gui tried to calm himself down, but couldn't suppress his curiosity: "This texture is so strange, it's so light yet so hard... Could this warm, smooth feel be resin?"

"No, it's just a very ordinary clay doll, or rather, sand," Ye Shou replied calmly.

"Sand? Can that be used to make figurines?"

Gui's impression of sand is that it is loose, soft, and crumbly. When water is added, it becomes very heavy and is not suitable for making small things, otherwise it will break at the slightest touch. On the contrary, large sand sculptures such as castles are more sturdy.

"Does this mean the craftsman's skills are exceptional? Did Brother Ye Shou—no, Master—commission a custom-made piece?"

Gui had only asked casually, but Ye Shou's answer surprised her so much that she opened her mouth wide.

"No, I made this myself in my spare time."

"what?"

Gui quickly covered his mouth: "You...made this yourself? You're kidding!"

"How could it be fake?" Ye Shou chuckled. "What, you don't believe I have such skillful hands?"

Ye Shou smiled reservedly, quite self-satisfied.

He used the sand from the giant statue, the best carrier of light power, and its capacity was extremely considerable, enough to hold Ye Shou's "attention" and even open a "door" for him, allowing him to teleport directly over.

This not only protects family and friends, but placing the doll in important locations adds a final layer of defense. Thieves won't be facing laser nets and vault doors, but rather a black-clad Ultraman Tyrant!

As for where the sand came from—Ye Shou secretly "scraped" it from the Camilla statue.

(In this timeline, Masaki doesn't have time to research artificial sand.)

If she were to awaken someday, she would find that during her 30 million years of slumber, she had lost weight and become slimmer.

Hurry up and say thank you, Bayeli!

As Ye Shou thought this, a smug smile appeared on his face, but it seemed to carry a different meaning in Bai Yin Gui's eyes.

"Rather than disbelief... handmade, sigh, me?"

Gui blinked, noticing a problem: "Why would Brother Ye Shou want to be my puppet for no reason?"

"Hmm?" Ye Shou thought for a moment and said casually, "There's no particular reason. I just thought of it when I was looking for a 'model' around me—after all, Kei-chan is very cute."

"Hmm!" The girl's cheeks flushed. "Cute...really? Is that how Master sees me?"

"I can't help it, just thinking about your face makes my inspiration come rushing in." Ye Shou chuckled. "If I've offended you, then I apologize."

"Of course not, rather... rather, it makes me very happy."

Gui chuckled, looking a little silly. After she finished being happy, she took a closer look and the more she examined the figure, the more familiar the clothes seemed, and the whole thing gave her a strange sense of déjà vu.

"This... could it be that you were working at the seaside hut? No, it's nothing, don't mind it."

Gui put the figure back, closed the box, and carefully carried it out of the room: "Then I won't disturb you any longer."

Ye Shouyi raised his hand, but before he could stop the door from closing, it was already shut.

"They didn't even take the documents with them..."

Gui couldn't care less about anything else now, because her mind was in turmoil and she couldn't calm down at all:

Although the outfit was ordinary, it was indeed the one she wore in her "dream," and it was during the time she eloped with Ye Shou.

For a few days, the two of them worked at Hai Zhi Jia during the summer vacation to supplement their family income...

Back in her room, Kei hesitated for a moment, but still took out the figure to examine it closely. The more she looked at it, the more convinced she became that it was made in imitation of herself in her dream. She even remembered some of the details so clearly that she herself hadn't been able to recall them!

"Could it be," an incredible thought flashed through Gui's mind, "that Ye Shou and I... are connected on a spiritual level?"

Well!

Her cheeks flushed, and the girl collapsed onto the bed, burying her head in the fluffy pillow. Her legs, clad in white stockings, swung wildly, kicking off one of her little leather shoes.

"Oh, you're so shameless...hehe!"
