The next day, Undine arrived as promised. She was still dressed in the same swordsman's attire that they first met. However, her complexion was not as good as the last time they parted. In fact, she looked a little haggard and her cheeks were sharper than before. It seemed like there were too many things to deal with in the family.
However, she was not in a hurry to tell Baiyi about the glider. Instead, she used the wheelchair to push her Soul Armature uncle. He was no longer wearing the mighty black gold armor. Instead, he was wearing a rather ordinary knight's armor. Due to the fact that his limbs had been separated for too long, most of the soul that was left in his body had dissipated and he could no longer move normally anymore.
However, the Dole family did not intend to give up on him. Even though he had completely lost his ability to fight and would become a burden to Undine, they still could not leave their family behind. That was why they came to seek help from Baiyi.
However, the situation was already very serious. Baiyi could not save him. No matter how powerful the Voidwalkers were, they could not create a soul. However, it was not difficult to make him move again. All they needed to do was to use magic to make some soul prosthetics for him. Even though he would not be able to move like before, it was still better than sitting in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
The process was not difficult but it took some time. Baiyi disassembled Leo's new body and began to draw the prosthetic formation on it. Undine was chatting with Mia and Tisdale at the side. It was obvious that she was really tired. Her eyes were bloodshot and she looked like she was about to fall asleep even though she was sitting on the chair.
"Let Undine have some rest first," Baiyi said to Mia and Tisdale. Baiyi said to Mia and Tisdale, "Or you can bring her upstairs to rest for a while. Didn't Attie clean up a few rooms these few days? I still need some time to finish my work here. I'll call you when I'm done. "
Undine immediately shot a grateful look at Baiyi before turning around to sincerely apologize to Mia and Tisdale. She then quickly followed Tisdale upstairs to sleep. After sending Mia and Tisdale back yesterday, she did not sleep for the whole night in order to make up for the time she had lost.
"Sister Undine, please carry Sharkie!" Mia kindly pushed the hammerhead shark plushie that was still warm from her body temperature into Undine's arms. "He can sleep soundly this way."
"Thank you, Mia." Undine smiled gently and accepted Mia's kindness. She hugged the hammerhead shark plushie into the ravine on her chest and rubbed her face against the plushie just like Mia did. "It smells so good! If there's a chance in the future, I'll hug Mia to sleep!" Undine exclaimed. "Wow! With that, she closed her eyes. Her long, brush-like eyelashes drooped down, and she actually fell asleep just like that.
Downstairs, Baiyi was sitting in the living room, working on the formation for the prosthetics. Leo, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly said, "I'm suddenly envious of you."
Baiyi was taken aback, and he turned to look at him.
"I'm not envious of your power and knowledge." He didn't even use honorifics like he usually did. "I'm just envious that you have such a stable life and so many good girls by your side."
While speaking, Attie suddenly walked into the living room while rubbing her eyes. She took away the teacups that Undine had left behind. She seemed to be walking on air, and her eyelids were drooping. It seemed that she didn't sleep well last night.
"Except for her, of course." When Leo saw Attie, he added, "I can't believe you actually took her in as your maid."
"It's for your own good," Baiyi replied casually. Baiyi replied casually. Then, he looked up at the girl and asked, "Why don't you take a nap as well?"
Attie shook her head and did not say a word. Just like that, she floated away, muttering something under her breath. It was probably the contents of the manual. She was afraid of losing the precious manual that represented power, so she chose to memorize everything in it!
After Attie left, Leo suddenly changed his attitude and said in a mocking tone, "I know some special ways to play the game. Hmm, the way that suits us Soul Armatures. So, as a reward, I'll teach you how to play the game, okay? Even though this woman is hateful, she's still quite pretty. Don't you want to have a taste of her? "
At that moment, he had completely regarded Baiyi as a true friend. Such an attitude was even more valuable than Undine's attitude of changing from arrogance to humility.
I'd rather have a taste of your Undine than touch her, okay? She's still a little girl, isn't she? Baiyi thought to himself. Not showing any interest, he casually said, "Do you think that I don't know how to play those things?"
"Erm, sorry. I seem to have underestimated you …" Leo replied awkwardly.
Just like that, the two of them continued to chat. Most of the topics were men's topics and the air trade route. Finally, when it was almost noon, Baiyi had finally finished drawing the prosthetic formation on his armor. All he needed to do was to reassemble it and it would be done.
Throughout the whole process, Leo did not mention anything about reward or gratitude. Instead, he said something like, "Actually, there are quite a number of people who have fallen in love with their Soul Armatures and some of them even got married." In the end, he even asked a rather heart-wrenching question, "What if the little girl that you're raising wants to marry you when she grows up?"
Baiyi smacked the man's helmet with the hammer impatiently. "I will not let that happen. I will teach her the right concept of love, and then, I will help her choose a suitable partner."
His words immediately caused a wave of hisses in the Void.
"Are you going to choose a female partner for Mia-chan? I don't think it's possible if it's a male partner. It's already very kind of you not to kill those men who approach her. "
"Hahaha! Our Fifth Walker actually knows how to joke now!"
"Sir Hope, who do you think you're fooling? Just now when we were walking on the street, there were two young men who stared at Mia-chan for a while. At that time, I thought that you were going to use the Black Flame of the Void to burn them into ashes! "
Not only that, but those few people were also speaking anonymously. Even though Baiyi was infuriated, he could not find anyone to mute them so he could only focus his attention on the Paladin instead.
"Sh * t! What are you trying to do? " The Paladin asked vigilantly, "I've never been one to do such shady things. Even if I want to express my feelings for a beautiful girl, I'll do it openly!"
Baiyi thought for a while and decided to let it go. Returning his attention back to reality, he quickly reassembled Lille's body and used the hammer to knock on it before activating the formation.
"Why don't you give it a try?" Baiyi asked.
Leo could not wait to get up from the wheelchair and tried to move his limbs. I can actually move! He quickly paced back and forth in the living room. Even though his movements were as slow as a fat fish, he was already overjoyed by the situation. Excitedly, he exclaimed, "Master Hope! You're really a man who can create miracles!"
"But you definitely won't be able to fight in the future!" Baiyi said as he pointed at a few major formations on his body and continued, "I've embedded some Mana Crystals into those formations to provide continuous energy supply. Remember to change them regularly."
"Yes, yes!" Leo replied quickly. He did not seem to mind the fact that he would lose his combat power. Instead, he continued to say, "It's a good thing that she won't be able to go to the battlefield in the future. After all, the family doesn't plan to let Undine continue to be the Sword Saint anymore. It's fine as long as she's able to protect the family business. Even if it's just maintaining the status quo, it's fine. They even opposed the air trade route that you mentioned earlier. Everyone is really afraid of losing Undine again."
"But I guess she'll still insist on it, right?" Baiyi asked.
"Yes. She's still as stubborn as ever. She values the family too much. In fact, I, on the other hand, hope that she can live a normal girl's life …" Leo said solemnly. Suddenly, he slapped his forehead and said abruptly, "Why don't you let Undine marry you?"
"Are you crazy?" Baiyi asked, feeling amused. Looking down at the hammer in his hand, he thought to himself, Did that blow just now break his brain?
"Of course not! I am discussing this issue with you in a serious and serious manner! " Leo sat down on the sofa and slowly crossed his legs. Then, he asked again, "You think that Undine is not beautiful enough? Not outstanding enough? "
Yes, she is indeed beautiful. But she's a beauty and an outstanding one … That's a little hard to say, isn't it? However, in order to take care of the other party's feelings, Baiyi reluctantly nodded his head.
"Isn't that great?! She's in the prime of her life right now! She shouldn't waste her time anymore! " Leo slowly slapped his thigh, "I think you're very strong, very strong, very kind, and very trustworthy. I'm sure you'll be able to take care of Undine and protect our family. What a good couple! Except for the fact that they can't have children … But that's not important. I think this marriage is really good. I'll talk to the head of the house about it later."
"The point is, if Undine doesn't marry you, she'll probably marry some big noble for the sake of the family's benefit. Are you sure that you want to see a good girl like her climb into the bed of those fat bastards? You're not happy about it either, right? "Leo asked again.
"What does it have to do with me? What's there to be unhappy about? " Baiyi shook his head helplessly, "Give up on your unrealistic fantasies. Just because she's beautiful doesn't mean that I have to be interested in her. I hope that you guys can respect her own choice."
"Respect her own choice?" Leo shook his head forcefully, "No, no, no! That won't do! Ever since she came back from the Northern Land, I don't know if she's possessed or something, but she's especially fond of black clothes. She's always muttering 'stinky pervert' or something like that …"
