A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 498

Chapter 498: Chapter 372 Persuading People with Reason_1 Chapter 498: Chapter 372 Persuading People with Reason_1 As the saying goes, even a strong horse can be run to death on a lofty mountain.

Although the peak of this snow mountain does not seem very far away, even for Duanmu Huai, without the aid of a jetpack or similar device, it would be impossible to scale Mount Everest in a single day. Soon, another day passed, and when night fell, Duanmu Huai found another cave to stay in.

What? You ask why there always happen to be caves?

That's easy. If there are no caves, just make one.

For Duanmu Huai, it simply means clenching his fists and smashing… is it even considered a trouble?

If he were planning to stay here permanently, Duanmu Huai could easily carve out a three-bedroom, two-living room cave.

However, climbing the mountain day after day can indeed be monotonous and boring.

For example, Tutu couldn't stand it anymore.

“Master!”

When Duanmu Huai finished his dinner and was resting, he saw Tutu approach him with a smirk, cuddling up to him. Honestly, this rabbit girl does give off a rabbit vibe, a characteristic loneliness and the tendency to act affectionately… um… do real rabbits behave like this too?

Duanmu Huai has no idea, but rabbit heads cooked with Sichuan pepper are indeed fragrant.

“Hmm? What's up?”

“Hehe, I want to play a game!”

“Play a game? What game?”

Duanmu Huai spread his hands, he did not bring any handheld game consoles or smartphones, and given this icy and snowy environment – they certainly couldn't go out for a snowball fight.

“Let's play 'Ride the Horse'!”

Seeing Tutu joyfully proposing the game, Duanmu Huai could only stay silent. After spending a few days together, Duanmu Huai realized that although Tutu seems to be a relatively mature girl, her mental age… is about the same as a five or six-year-old child.

Otherwise, would a normal person her size still want to play 'Ride the Horse'?

“Alright, come on, you can ride on my shoulders.”

Duanmu Huai doesn't mind, after all, his shoulders are often used to carry Ogis and Bambi. However, hearing Duanmu Huai's proposition, Tutu shook her head.

“No, Tutu should be the horse.”

“…What?”

Upon hearing Tutu's reply, Duanmu Huai was taken aback. However, just at that moment, he saw Tutu get on all fours on the ground, and then turn her head to look at Duanmu Huai.

“Come on, master, come ride on Tutu. Tutu is a monster, and also master's familiar, so it won't be a problem.”

“… Are you sure?”

Duanmu Huai is left speechless looking at Tutu, who is wagging her bottom in an attempt to get him to ride her. Let alone he is a man, it's just not right to sit on a girl's back. Even if it were acceptable, given Duanmu Huai's physique, wouldn't sitting on her just flatten Tutu into the ground?

At this moment, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but recall the general Ratain he encountered in the Borderland and the little horse under his crotch…

This really wouldn't do. He wasn't like Ratain, who was turned into an idiot by the Valkyrie and didn't care about personal dignity. If he rode on Tutu, his reputation would be ruined.

“Let's just play another game.”

Duanmu Huai decisively refused Tutu's offer, but Tutu didn't seem to mind. She quickly suggested another game with a giggle.

“Then, let's play the bunny game!”

“What's this game about?”

“Hehe, it's a game where Tutu gets to ride on master.”

“…………”
What's the difference from before?

“Alright, alright…”

Duanmu Huai felt that it was not worth nitpicking over such a trivial matter with a preschool child, so he nodded. Then he saw Tutu giggle and pounce on him. The next moment, Duanmu Huai saw Tutu literally sitting on him!

“Hehe, it's so warm…”

As Tutu sat on Duanmu Huai, she giggled and twisted her waist, rubbing against him. Duanmu Huai didn't mind at all. To be honest, the way Tutu was rubbing against him was quite comfortable, it felt like a massage, soft, bouncy, and warm. Such scenes, Duanmu Huai had only ever seen in .mp4 video clips downloaded from the internet, but now he finally had the chance to experience it personally.

So Duanmu Huai closed his eyes and enjoyed the experience.

After a while, he felt someone else leaning against him.

It seemed a bit hurtful… um, Duanmu Huai knew who it was without even opening his eyes.

At that moment, it seemed that Tutu had discovered something, Duanmu Huai only heard Tutu let out a “Ha ha” laugh.

“Master, she's so skinny!”

Duanmu Huai felt as if his arm was tightly bound by iron tongs, at that moment he made a decision.

Let's sleep, act like I know nothing, as soon as I close my eyes, it's dark again.

Fortunately, Ogis is still a Puppet, her emotional fluctuations are not big, so the next morning when Tutu woke up, she hadn't been turned into roasted rabbit meat.

Of course, Duanmu Huai didn't foolishly try to comfort her, after all, he had been asleep at that time, by reason, he hadn't heard anything. Ah, women, even Puppets are women, better not dig yourself a hole.

The next day was still the monotonously unbearable mountain climbing. Tutu was complaining incessantly. Although the maids and Ogis didn't complain, they were not very interested either. To be frank, even Duanmu Huai found it a bit boring, but thinking about the rare joy he would get after reaching the peak, he continued to climb with a hardened scalp.

And then…..

“Look, I told you it's not a wasted trip.”

Standing on the slope, looking forward, Duanmu Huai excitedly clenched his fist. In front of him, a huge castle made from ice and snow stood tall, it looked like a place where you would find rare things. This reminded Duanmu Huai of a certain animation where the heroine built an ice castle in the snowy weather, well, it's almost like that.

It would be more like it if there was a girl walking and singing on it.

The only difference was, the ice castle in the animation was of the Western fairy-tale style, while this castle looked more square, similar to the Japanese style. Hmm… considering the Snow Woman was a demon from Japanese fairy tales, Duanmu Huai felt he had found the enemy's hideout.

Next is to see how to flush her out…

As Duanmu Huai was contemplating, suddenly, the castle door in front of his eyes slowly opened, at the same time, several snowmen appeared on the castle wall, holding bows and arrows in their hands.

“Intruders! Intruders! Eliminate the intruders!!”

While shouting, these snowmen raised their weapons and attacked Duanmu Huai and co. Faced with the snowmen's attacks, Tutu screamed, immediately hiding behind Duanmu Huai, and the maid also retreated quietly, only Duanmu Huai remained still —- in fact, he didn't have to move.

Just then, Ogis extended her right hand, countless slender puppet wires radiated out from her fingertips, forming a barrier directly blocking the snowmen's attacks. At the same time, a band of snowmen wielding swords and daggers came rushing out of the castle gate, attacking them.

I must say, just at the sight of them, these snowmen were really cute, their outward appearance was no different than the snowmen piled up in heavy snow. A round head, matched with a round body, carrot-like nose, two black eyes, they bounced about so adorably.

Kids and girls would definitely exclaim in delight upon seeing them.

However, of course, Duanmu Huai didn't care, he stared at these snowmen, clenched his right fist, took a deep breath, and then took a step forward with all his might!

“Ora… Oraoraoraoraora!!!”

With Duanmu Huai's roar, his iron fist stormed out like a raging tempest, directly smashing the rushing snowmen, and even punched the castle wall made from solid ice and snow. The entire castle began to shake, as if it had been hit by an earthquake!

“….. Ora!!”

With Duanmu Huai's final roar, his fist flew forward. The fist wind scattered to both sides, instantly turning the snowman soldiers that were rushing left and right into snowflakes. Then his fist fiercely smashed into the ice snow castle wall!

“Boom!!!”

This time, the badly battered ice snow castle could no longer withstand, it abruptly transformed into countless shards of ice, collapsing!

“Ah——-!!!”

At the same time, a shriek was heard. Duanmu Huai lifted his head to look ahead, only to see a black-haired girl in a kimono sitting on the ground in shock, her complexion pale, she anxiously looked around, surrounded by a wall of ice.

What the hell is going on?

The Snow Woman also looked at the situation in fear, completely taken aback. She had suddenly felt her castle being attacked, so she rushed out to check on it. The last thing she expected was that as soon as she made it to the hall, accompanied by intense shaking, the whole ice snow castle collapsed. If she hadn't reacted quickly, would she be buried in this pile of rubble now?

Who in the world is this?

“Thump… thump…”

As the Snow Woman was terrified, she suddenly heard a heavy footsteps nearby. She turned her head, fearfully looking in the direction of the footsteps. Then, she saw a burly, terrifying-looking man, exuding a murderous aura, who was now standing in front of her, staring at her fiercely.

“Are you the Snow Woman?”

As he spoke, the man swung his right hand violently. With his movement, the Snow Woman only felt a cold wind brushing past her ear, and in the next moment, a big crack suddenly “pop” opened up in the ground by her side!

“I'm a Demon Beast Trainer, want to make you my Familiar. Let's fight!”

Fight? With this terrifying man?

Upon hearing this, the Snow Woman was completely flustered, and then she made a decision.

The Snow Woman leapt up, pouncing onto the ground like a tiger swooping down the mountain. Then, facing the man, she pressed her forehead into the ground.

“I'm willing to do anything, please don't kill me!!”
