Honkai Impact 3rd, Paradise Typewriter isn't for making this kind of game.

"Hehe~"

Padofelis winked playfully and nimbly moved to Xia Yuan's side, watching the wooden stick he was rubbing back and forth in his hand.

"Brother Xia Yuan, let's bet a gold coin that you can't start a fire!"

"Oh? Little Paddo, if I light a fire and start a bonfire, how about you take off your [Canned Food Suit] and let me wear it?"

"???(vigilance!"

Seeing that she and the other person were alone in a small space, Padofelis slapped Xia Yuan's back with her claws.

"Ahhh... Xia Yuan, what kind of unhealthy things are you thinking about all day long? You're not allowed to have those weird ideas!"

To prevent the other party from having wild thoughts, the embarrassed and indignant girl used the "Cat Combo" on Xia Yuan's back.

"I...I wasn't thinking about anything!"

Chapter 168 Don't Move!

"Hmm? Still trying to argue!"

Xia Yuan felt an undue weight bearing on his back. Who wouldn't want a cool cat outfit? What did he do wrong...?

"Okay, okay, Little Paddy, I was wrong. I've thought about it. Is that alright now?"

"Huh? Brother Xia Yuan, you still want to! Anyway, quickly get rid of all those strange thoughts in your head!"

Just as Padofelis was waving her little paws and scratching Xia Yuan's back...

A wisp of black smoke slowly rose from before her eyes, and Phyllis stopped what she was doing, staring intently at the small flame that was full of hope and warmth.

huh-huh-

The tiny flame grew into a blazing fire. Xia Yuan and Padofelis huddled around the fire, the warm flames illuminating their faces, and the overflowing heat made Felis feel exceptionally comfortable.

"It actually caught fire? No wonder it has truly mastered my skills."

Padoflis patted Xia Yuan's shoulder in a tone of an elder caring for a younger person.

"........"

"It's getting warmer now~"

Padofelis stretched, seemingly enjoying the cozy atmosphere.

"Brother Xia Yuan, Brother Xia Yuan, hehe~ This is the perfect occasion for storytelling. Why don't you tell us about some interesting things that happened between you and Sister Ai Li in your daily lives?"

"They're all just... everyday trifles."

"We don't care, we don't care, we just want to listen!"

Phyllis poked at the other person's arm, seemingly clinging to Xia Yuan.

Out of desperation, Xia Yuan had no choice but to tell Phyllis about some of his and Ellie's experiences, recounting the little things in his daily life with the fairy Ellie. Although it was very mundane, the girl listened with unusual seriousness.

The two enjoyed the warmth in the cozy firelight.

Cough cough--

As time passed and the night grew quiet, Xia Yuan cleared his throat and gradually felt sleepy.

"Mmm~ Brother Xia Yuan..."

"And then what happened? And then what happened? What happened between you and Sister Ai Li, Brother Xia Yuan?"

But at this moment, Padofelis, who was beside Xia Yuan, seemed unusually excited and active, constantly shaking Xia Yuan's body and asking him questions.

"Pado, I want to sleep~"

Whoosh—

A ticking sound accompanied by a rustling sound came from above the cave entrance.

Xia Yuan didn't look up until he vaguely felt a patch of white snow covering his head.

"Pado, is the hole you dug... sturdy?"

"Of course it's sturdy~ Brother Xia Yuan, you have to trust us~"

Before Phyllis could finish speaking, wisps of snow dripped from the crack above the cave entrance and fell into her view.

"I can't see anything anymore, meow!"

In a panic, Padofelis waved her claws back and forth.

Xia Yuan quickly brushed the snow off the girl's face, but more and more snowflakes fell into the cave, accompanied by Phyllis's shout.

"Brother Xia Yuan, watch out!"

In the blink of an eye, [Canned Food] opened its mouth wide and swallowed Xia Yuan whole. Then... the branches supporting the cave entrance could no longer withstand the accumulated snowflakes and snapped.

that's all.....

Xia Yuan and Padofelis were buried inside the cave by the overwhelming snow.

Without the firelight, all vision was plunged into darkness.

The only thought Xia Yuan had at the moment was that the surroundings were very crowded, so he waved his hands and tried to stretch them out in all directions.

"Eek..."

Suddenly, a shy and faint voice came from beside me.

"Brother Xia Yuan... don't move! You're pressing your whole body against me, and those shiny chocolates piled up behind me are poking me."

Pado sounded flustered, shifting her body back and forth as if trying to find a suitable position.

"It was clearly you, Paddy, who was moving around all the time..."

Xia Yuan ignored Pado swaying back and forth beneath him and carefully recalled what had just happened. He remembered that Pado, who was inside the "can," had swallowed him.

Does that mean... I'm right next to Paddo right now?

However, at the same time~

Xia Yuan recalled that the communication device given to him by the fairy Ai Li seemed to have a lighting function.

A beam of light shone from Xia Yuan's wrist, illuminating the surroundings.

Only then were the two able to see their surroundings clearly. Padofelis was suddenly illuminated by the light and subconsciously squinted her eyes. Then she saw a scene that made her extremely embarrassed.

She clung to Xia Yuan like an octopus, while his gaze remained fixed on her.

"Brother Xia Yuan... quickly turn off the flashlight!"

Amidst the girl's shame, anger, and screams, and with Padofelis pushing and shoving her back and forth, the last glimmer of light vanished.

"It's off, it's off... but Paddy, if you keep moving around, something really might happen."

"?!"

Something hot and swollen pressed against Phyllis's lower abdomen. The girl, filled with shame and indignation, realized what it was. Her body tensed instinctively, and her breathing became rapid.

"Brother Xia Yuan... quickly turn around!"

At Phyllis's request, Xia Yuan tried to turn his body, but the accumulated snow above prevented him from reaching the other side he wanted, no matter how hard he tried.

However, due to the other party's actions, Phyllis felt her body temperature rising continuously, spreading from her lower abdomen to her entire body.

"Brother Xia Yuan... don't move anymore! Confess honestly, were you doing that on purpose just now?!"

The girl's hesitant voice came from beneath her.

Xia Yuan stopped trying to turn over, paused for a moment, and said apologetically:

"This... is a physiological reaction that every boy has. It would be abnormal if he didn't, which just shows that you, Pado, are a very cute and beautiful girl~"

Although Phyllis felt a surge of happiness after being praised for her beauty and cuteness, her current situation and experiences made it impossible for her to feel happy at all.

"Brother Xia Yuan, no more talking nonsense, and no more moving around!"

"Then...Pado, if I don't move, how are we supposed to escape? We can't just stay here forever, can we?"

Xia Yuan pondered...

It's still snowing heavily outside, and Pado and I are trapped deep inside the cave, unable to move. We can't contact Bronya and Rita either, so we're definitely in a desperate situation.

"Hmm, well..."

After a moment, Pado realized the predicament she and Xia Yuan were in.

"Brother Xia Yuan, what do we do now...? Are we going to be buried here forever?"

Chapter 169: She was picked up by Velvi!

A series of sobs came from beside my ear.

"Waaaaah... We're still young, we still have so many things we want to do, we still want to eat delicious grilled dried fish, Sister Alice, Sister Eden, Sister Wilvi, Sister Snake, come and save Pado!"

Although Pado was much older than him in some ways, she was still a lively and cheerful girl at heart. Seeing her expression, Xia Yuan gently comforted her:

"Pado, don't be afraid. I'm here with you. Even if we don't get rescued, at least we can keep each other company on the Bridge of Helplessness in some way, right?"

"Pah, pah, pah, Brother Xia Yuan... Is that how you comfort someone? Besides, we don't need you to come with us!"

"Okay, then I'll hug you~"

"Dream on! If you're up to any more mischief, Xia Yuan, we'll scratch you with our claws!"

"It really tickles!"

Although Phyllis said that, her little hands tightly hugged Xia Yuan's shoulders, which was the only comfortable place for her at the moment. The chocolates on her back were digging into her so badly, and she wished she hadn't taken so many.

After a moment~

Padoflis stammered as she began to speak:

"Brother Xia Yuan... your body is so hot, could you move out a little bit?"

"It's clearly Paddy whose body is getting hotter and hotter."

Both of them fell silent. Phyllis desperately needed to distract Xia Yuan because she noticed that the burning sensation right next to her navel hadn't subsided over time.

What if Xia Yuan couldn't control himself and something happened accidentally...? How would I face Sister Ai Li?

Gurgle———

The sounds echoing from her stomach caught Phyllis's attention, and she suddenly had an idea.

"Ahem... Xia Yuan, did your stomach rumble just now? Are you hungry? Hehe, how about a piece of fragrant chocolate that can fully replenish your energy?"

Xia Yuan was puzzled, as he did not feel any hunger in his stomach.

The answer is obvious.

Just as Xia Yuan was about to speak... Padofelis stuffed a piece of chocolate in front of him.

"Brother Xia Yuan, eat quickly, eat quickly, you won't be hungry anymore after you eat~"

Padofelis's idea was simple: as long as Xia Yuan had enough chocolate, his attention would be diverted, and he would stop trying to take advantage of her.

"Cough cough... It's so bitter, Pado, why does your chocolate taste like bitter melon?"

Xia Yuan took a small bite and immediately felt a numbness and bitterness in his mouth. He had been careless...

"Huh?"

Padofelis put it in her mouth as if in disbelief. The bitter taste was unbelievable, instantly numbing the girl's entire body, as if her whole soul had been taken away by it.

"No way... Hmm, who would actually like this kind of chocolate? Xia Yuan, I feel like we're about to... uh~"

Thinking back to Aunt Mei's pursuit....

Xia Yuan has already made progress; this kind of chocolate is probably only something Theresa would like.

"Pado... are you alright?"

There was no response from the girl in his ears.

Phyllis, who had just had a large piece stuffed into the corner of her mouth, immediately fell into a coma.

Xia Yuan had no idea how much time had passed...

The thin air around him made him drowsy, and he soon fell into a coma like Phyllis.
