章 238: Zhang Miao's Puppet (Part 1)

"Money and beautiful girls?"

Zhang Miao's answer was completely out of Ebizo's expectations. And most importantly, with his many years of experience in reading people, he felt that Zhang Miao was speaking from the bottom of his heart.

All men in this world should agree with Zhang Miao. He was realistic... but what the hell?

Was this kind of interest a child should have?

What made Ebizo most helpless was that he found that Chiyo was already looking at him with a hostile expression. That kind of gaze seemed to say that he had taught Zhang Miao bad things.

Seeing this scene, Ebizo could only look at Zhang Miao with a bitter smile, "About that... Little Ryu, the puppet technique is actually very fun!"

"No!" Just as Ebizo finished speaking, Zhang Miao immediately waved his hand, "What's so fun about those cold and hard puppets? I still prefer my soft and warm girls! And they will let out a cute cry when I pinch them!"

Just as Zhang Miao said this, a clear voice of a little girl came from outside the door, "Ryu-sama, are you there? It's Maki!"

Hearing this voice, Zhang Miao immediately ran out without a word. Soon, the scream of a little girl came from outside the door, "Ryu-sama, ouch..."

Ebizo: "..."

Chiyo: "..."

"Did that brat do something bad?"

Just as the two people looked at each other in confusion, Zhang Miao had already walked in with a smile on his face. As he walked, he stretched out his little claws and scratched the air.

"Hm... This Maki... Although she looks thin, she is quite fleshy to touch. I didn't know the could raise such a nice girl in this barren desert! Not bad!"

Ebizo: "...."

Chiyo: "... "

"Damn, this brat really did something bad!

Thinking of this, Chiyo stared at Ebizo once again and then looked at Zhang Miao with a pleasant expression.

"Little Ryu, boys are different from girls. Girls can't be touched randomly, understand?"

"I got it!" As soon as Chiyo finished speaking, Zhang Miao immediately nodded obediently, "But I can't control my hand!"

Ebizo: "... "

Chiyo: "... "

"What a clever brat!"

Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Ebizo had already turned around to laugh, while Chiyo revealed a surprised expression.

"You little imp, let's go. Granny will teach you how to make puppets. When you learn it, you will know how interesting it is!"

With that, Chiyo put down the fishing rod, and before Zhang Miao could speak, she pulled him into her room and began to teach him how to make puppets.

The first step to making a puppet was to carve the parts of the puppet. This step could be completely omitted for Zhang Miao, so Chiyo directly taught him how to assemble the puppet parts together.

Chiyo taught Zhang Miao to assemble a small palm-sized puppet. After the assembly was completed, she used the chakra thread to control the small puppet to move and then looked at Zhang Miao with expectation.

"Little Ryu, how is it? Do you think it is very interesting?"

"Nope!"

Hearing Chiyo's words, Zhang Miao immediately shrugged his shoulders, "It's small and ugly. I don't see any use for it other than for entertaining some stupid children!"

Chiyo: "... "

"What you said makes sense. I actually have nothing to say!"

Looking at Zhang Miao's disinterested expression, Chiyo instantly felt an indescribable sense of defeat, but she quickly regained her spirit and smiled at Zhang Miao.

"Hehe, then granny will teach you how to be a puppet that can fight. How about it?"

"No..." Originally, Zhang Miao wanted to directly refuse, but when he saw the expectant look on Chiyo's face, he finally swallowed the remaining words and nodded.

"Alright, let's just treat it as a time-killing activity!"

Although Zhang Miao still looked reluctant, seeing him agree, Chiyo still smiled happily.

"Okay, Grandma will teach you how to fight with puppets!"

First of all, we have to make a bigger puppet, so that it is convenient to equip weapons on it...

Chiyo explained very carefully, from selecting materials to the assembling process. Although Zhang Miao was not interested, he still listened to her.

After Chiyo finished speaking, he nodded.

"To put it simply, it is to choose suitable materials and make a puppet that can move according to your own ideas, right?"

"Yes!" Seeing that Zhang Miao got to the point, Chiyo immediately nodded with satisfaction, "That's it. Now you try to assemble a puppet first. I will teach you how to use it when you are done!"

"I understand. I'll start now!" Hearing Chiyo's words, Zhang Miao immediately nodded and then picked up the materials in the room.

There were many puppet parts scattered around the room. Zhang Miao quickly gathered the parts he need and assembled them into a simple puppet in less than an hour. Then, he looked at the dumbfounded Chiyo.

"Done. What should I do next?"

"... "

Originally, Chiyo thought that Zhang Miao would need at least one or two days to complete the assembling process, but she did not expect that he only needed a mere hour to complete it, so her eyes were filled with disbelief.

"How can it be so fast? Even Sasori needed an entire afternoon, but this child actually only used an hour to complete it. This is too unbelievable... Maybe he was taught to him by Little Sasori. Well, this is the only explanation!"

Thinking of this, Chiyo's face revealed a trace of understanding, and then she nodded.

"Well, since you have completed this step, the rest is to learn how to control it. First of all, you must condense your chakra into a thread and connect it to the puppet, and then use the movement of your fingers and the chakra threads to make the puppet move. This requires a delicate chakra control, ordinary people... Uh... "

Before Chiyo could finish speaking, she could not continue because she found that the puppet in front of Zhang Miao had already moved, and it seemed to be... dancing?

Seeing this scene, Chiyo became more sure that Zhang Miao had been taught by Sasori. The reason why he did not say it out was to take care of her feelings.

"What a gentle child, much more sensible than Little Sasori!"

Thinking of this, Chiyo looked at Zhang Miao with more kindness. When Zhang Miao stopped, she opened her mouth again.

"That's right, that's it. My Little Ryu is really a genius. The rest is to put weapons on the puppets. The simplest way is to put blades on its limbs. You can also add some hidden weapons, but it's a bit complicated."

"Nah, I'm fine without any hidden weapons."

Hearing Chiyo's words, Zhang Miao immediately shook his head.

"Things that are too complicated are easy to break, and they are not reliable. I don't want my puppet to be fragile, so putting just a few blades on its limbs is enough for me."

"Uh..."

If someone else said this, the always strict Chiyo would definitely scold them, but now it was Zhang Miao who spoke. She was only stunned for a moment, and then she smiled again.

"That's right, my Little Ryu is really smart. Alright, let's make keep it simple, hee hee!"

At this time, Ebizo was outside the door. Hearing Chiyo's words inside, he immediately shook his head with a helpless expression.

"Sister has really changed!"
