Chapter 125: One Time and It's Done
Late in the night, He Jiaojiao felt incredibly hot. She reached out and felt fur everywhere. She struggled to open her eyes, only to discover Chi Yan had transformed into a fox, his eight tails spread out, half cushioning her, the other half covering her tightly...
"Ayan, it's so hot!"
He Jiaojiao couldn't help but grab one of the tails and rubbed it gently.
Chi Yan woke up the moment He Jiaojiao stood up. As a result, after his tail was ravaged by He Jiaojiao, he felt his whole body stiff, and a familiar heat kept rising from his lower abdomen.
"Jiaojiao, don't move!"
Chi Yan changed back into his orc form, took He Jiaojiao into his arms, and grabbed her rebellious hand.
Hearing Chi Yan's hoarse voice, He Jiaojiao was stunned. How could she not know what was happening? So she was held in Chi Yan's arms obediently, not moving a muscle.
Not long after, He Jiaojiao fell asleep again, then turned over and put her hand on Chi Yan.
Chi Yan, who had originally closed his eyes, suddenly opened them, his gaze fixed on He Jiaojiao's delicate little hands. He didn't know if He Jiaojiao was dreaming, but the hand on her abdominal muscles unconsciously grasped twice.
Chi Yan laughed in silence. If he hadn't taken into consideration that Jiaojiao was pregnant, he really couldn't help it!
He Jiaojiao stayed awake all night until dawn. When she woke up, she was stunned by Chi Yan's bloodshot eyes.
"Ayan, are you suffering from insomnia?"
He Jiaojiao blurted out.
"Hmm!" Chi Yan smiled bitterly. He couldn't say that He Jiaojiao had been teasing him since he fell asleep, making it impossible for him to sleep at all!
He Jiaojiao quickly stood up and said to Chi Yan, "Then you should sleep a little longer. After all, there is nothing to do today."
Chi Yan shook his head, turned over and stood up, "No need, I can't sleep anyway, I might as well get up and find something to do."
The two walked out one after the other. Mo Ran was the first to look over and saw that He Jiaojiao looked very energetic and seemed to have slept well that night. On the other hand, Chi Yan's eyes were not only bloodshot, but also had bruises that could rival those of Bamboo Bear.
"Jiaojiao, the pottery should have been fired. Should we open it and take a look today?"
As Mo Ran spoke, he poured some water and placed it in front of He Jiaojiao, then went to get the incense wood for cleaning teeth.
He Jiaojiao nodded while cleaning her teeth, "Okay!"
It just so happened that she also wanted to go and see whether it was successful.
After washing up and having a quick breakfast, everyone set off for the cave. Compared to last time, there were three more children this time. They looked at the mound in front of them with curiosity. If Mo Ran's father hadn't warned them not to touch it, they would have wanted to open it directly.
"I'll drive it!"
Chi Yan stepped forward. He had wind-related abilities and could easily open the cave without damaging the pottery inside.
Chi Yan stepped forward and waved his hands, and a door of the cave opened instantly.
He Jiaojiao couldn't wait to get in, but was grabbed by Mo Ran. "Jiaojiao, just wait outside. It's dirty in here."
After saying that, Mo Ran glanced at Zi Yi who was squatting next to him.
Zi Yi had no choice but to stand up and walk into the cave resignedly.
After a while, Zi Yi's surprised scream was heard. He rushed out holding a toy of unknown shape, shouting, "It worked, it really worked!"
Looking at the cup in Ziyi's hand that looked neither like a cup nor a bowl, He Jiaojiao felt her face burning instantly.
That’s right, this is He Jiaojiao’s work!
"Jiaojiao, come and take a look, is this done?"
Zi Yi didn't notice He Jiaojiao's embarrassment at all and handed the four-legged beast to He Jiaojiao. He Jiaojiao raised her hand and knocked on it, making a crisp sound, and then nodded.
Unexpectedly, the first attempt was actually successful. Several people rushed in and brought out their "works".
Looking at the nearly one hundred pieces of pottery placed at her feet, the smile on He Jiaojiao's face gradually disappeared.
Could it be that everyone else's hands were more deft than mine? She was the only one who made something that looked nothing like it, while everyone else's were all quite decent, especially Chi Yan's vase, which he had even painted some patterns on. Unexpectedly, the result after firing was surprisingly good.
"Mom, what is this?"
Xikang picked up a piece of pottery and studied it for a long time, but still couldn't guess its purpose, so he had to ask.
He Jiaojiao took a look and wondered if this was the teacup she had made herself. But why did it look fine when she put it in, but when it was fired, it turned out to be this shape?
Looking at the defective product in her hand, well... maybe it's not even a defective product, He Jiaojiao shook her head.
"Is this still useful?"
Xi Kang asked.
He Jiaojiao didn't know what he wanted to do, but she still shook her head.
Seeing that this was useless, Xi Kang lifted the Sibu Xiang high up and then smashed it hard to the ground. After a crisp sound, the Sibu Xiang became a real waste.
“It turns out this is so sturdy!”
Xikang sighed. Although he had inherited the knowledge from He Jiaojiao, he only had an idea of it. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he still felt shocked.
The others were also stunned. They had been very cautious, afraid that it would break if they weren't careful. But seeing how much strength Xikang had to use to break it, their movements became faster. After all, this thing looked fragile, but it was actually very strong!
"Jiaojiao, look at the clay pot I made. Do you think it's good for making soup?"
Zi Yi proudly held up the pottery jar in his hand. It was exactly the same pottery jar that He Jiaojiao had seen in her previous life, and its shape was impeccable in every aspect.
"Okay, you can put this directly on the fire and burn it. Don't worry about it going bad."
All the pottery was put in order. There were quite a few that could be used, but there were only a few people in their family. What should they do if they couldn't use so many pottery?
Thinking that she still owed the system a lot of points, He Jiaojiao thought that if she could pass this skill to the Eagle Clan, it would be a considerable achievement!
So, she asked Zhutian to go back and called a lot of people from the Eagle Clan over, allowing each of them to pick a piece of pottery to take back, and He Jiaojiao personally explained the use of the pottery.
The free stuff naturally attracted quite a few orcs. It was the first time for them to notice pottery, and they all thought it was amazing. When they learned that this hard pottery was actually made of clay, they were even more shocked.
As they knew, soil would naturally soften and disperse when it came into contact with water, but they did not expect that the soil after being burned by fire would be so hard that it could even be used to hold water and boil it.
"These are all free for everyone today. Of course, if you like them and want to make some yourself after you go back, you can ask my partner for the recipe."
Seeing that He Jiaojiao shared this secret method without any hesitation, everyone thanked her and felt that He Jiaojiao was indeed a kind-hearted person.
