Early the next morning, Baiyi and Mia boarded the carriage to go home together.
Baiyi did not mind going back to Mia's house to have a look but it was not a good time to do so. He had not finished dealing with Undine yet and he still had Attie who had not been fully fed yet. Not only that, the staff that he had planned to make for Tisdale had not started yet and even the repair of the black gold armor had been put on hold.
But there was nothing he could do. The way Mia was clinging onto his arm with her mouth slightly agape and her eyes staring at him, he could not bring himself to reject her. So, he hastily packed up his work and set up the temperature control formation in the house. After leaving a lot of gold coins for the family, he hurried to the market outside to buy a magic-plated slate and used the mana furnace to inscribe a communication formation on it. Tisdale was busy with the workshop so Baiyi could not come along with them so he could only leave her as a communication tool. Worried that she would be lonely living alone in the mansion, he even asked Attie to stay with her while he went out with Mia alone.
Before he left, he even bought two sets of beautiful clothes for Mia so that she would look even more youthful and beautiful. Then, he rented the most expensive carriage and the two of them set off early in the morning.
Actually, Mia's house was not far to the west of Arfin City. If the two of them were to use the Flight Spell, it would not take them too long to reach their destination. However, Mia insisted on taking the carriage back, saying that it would give her the feeling of homecoming. After giving it a thought, Baiyi decided to go along with her. After all, it was a good thing that she was willing to spend more time alone with him.
Other than Mia, there were only the flowers and plants in Baiyi's little animal coin bank in the carriage. Initially, it was quite a troublesome thing to bring those coin banks with him but he really did not trust Attie and Tisdale to take care of them, especially Attie who kept teasing the newly sprouted seedlings. Because of that, he had no choice but to bring them along with him.
In the beginning, Mia was still admiring the idyllic scenery through the window of the carriage. However, as time went by, she became tired and laid down lazily on the soft seat of the carriage. With her head resting on Baiyi's thigh, her long black hair cascaded down her body like a waterfall. Looking at the exquisite carvings on the roof of the carriage, she could not help but exclaim, "The carriage is so spacious and stable! The seats are so soft and comfortable! Even the ceiling has beautiful carvings! This is the most comfortable carriage that I've ever sat in! Thank you so much, Mr. Hope!"
This trip alone cost an ordinary family a month's income! How could it not be comfortable? Baiyi thought to himself. Reaching out his hand, he lifted Mia's head up slightly and quickly placed a soft cushion between her head and his thigh, "Use this as a cushion. It's soft."
"Hmph! Hmph!" The little girl let out a satisfied hum. Her big eyes were slightly narrowed as if she was enjoying it.
She was wearing a new aqua blue dress that Baiyi bought for her yesterday. Although the neckline was higher than usual and it covered everything below her neck, it was an off-the-shoulder style that revealed her round shoulders. The waist was not as loose as a normal dress but it was very tight, accentuating Mia's slender waist. The most eye-catching part of the dress was that it was dyed with a special dye. When the sun shone on it, it would shimmer as if it was woven from blue lake water. Coupled with Mia's delicate face, it made her look even more dazzling.
Even if it was a high-cut dress with a high hemline, it would still be able to make her look very beautiful.
"Take off your shoes and put your feet up. It'll be more comfortable," Baiyi suggested.
Who would have thought that the little girl would shake her head? She was wearing a pair of open-toed sandals with a black silk bow on the back of the shoes. Mia loved the new shoes so much that she did not want to take them off after putting them on. She even deliberately raised her legs up high to admire her jade feet and said, "My new shoes are so beautiful! I can't bear to take them off!"
Because of her bold and unrestrained movement, the blue skirt that was originally covering her knees fell down, revealing her fair thighs in front of Baiyi. However, the little girl did not seem to know how alluring she was as she swung her legs in the air, causing another five people in the Void to be Muted.
"You're a big girl now. Aren't you afraid of being seen by others?" Baiyi looked away helplessly and pinched Mia's little face.
"There's only Mr. Hope here anyway, so what's the big deal?" Mia said nonchalantly. "Haven't you already seen my body?" As she said that, she grabbed Baiyi's big hand that was pinching her little face and placed it on her cheek. Then, she said coquettishly, "There's still a long way to go before we get home. Mr. Hope, can you tell me a story?"
Baiyi enjoyed the father-daughter relationship very much. He was in a good mood. As he gently caressed Mia's face, he asked, "I have a lot of stories here. What do you want to hear? How about a story about a girl who loves to sing, a boy who plays the guitar, and a shameless mistress? "
Mia shook her head. It seems like she is not interested in this kind of white story.
"Then, how about a story about a boy who falls in love with his father's partner and then, for the sake of an empty lie, he fights with his classmates, his sister, and his teacher?"
Mia shook her head again. That story was a little too sad for her.
"Then, how about a story about a boy who leads a very powerful yellow-skinned mouse and works hard all the way to the top four in the pet competition?"
Mia was a little unhappy. She did not know why Baiyi would want to tell such a negative story. She turned her face away from Baiyi's hand and whispered, "I like to listen to stories about great heroes, just like the story of Paladin Mr. Hantae."
Erm … Is that so? Baiyi pondered for a while and then began to monitor the group of Voidwalkers to see if there was anyone among them who had an experience that was suitable to be told. Then, to his dismay, he realized that there was really no one who fit the image of a hero in Mia's heart. As for that Mr. Hantae who was used as an example, he had already been banned from speaking because he wanted to lick Mia's leg!
Who else could be considered as a hero? The Thane? His image in the historical records could be considered as a positive one but he was the kind of person who would sacrifice the lives of a small number of people for the sake of justice for the majority of the people.
The Cleric? He had already been banned along with the Paladin. The Sorcerer? An Emperor who bullies people everywhere just because he is well-equipped? He has nothing to do with being a hero, right? The Fairy? All of her heroic deeds were caused by her own actions and besides, she did not like Mia at all …
"Why don't you tell her my story?" The Scholar Walker suggested, noticing Baiyi's hesitant expression.
Tell her the story of how you stayed in the Mage Tower all your life and never got married?
"My story is fine too! I have a few wonderful infiltrations and assassinations! "The Assassin Walker chimed in.
Why should I let Mia know about the insidious tricks of a cold, introverted assassin like you? You are full of negative energy!
In the end, after thinking for a long time, Baiyi could only tell her about the story of the Speaker Swordsman. Although his private life was not that good, his life was still positive and positive. It was not a problem for him to tell Mia about it.
However, before he could say more, Mia interrupted him, "This is the story of Mr. Sword Saint. I've heard about it since I was young. I even know that he killed twenty thousand enemies with a single slash of his sword. That's amazing …"
Baiyi became silent at once. Then, he asked the Knight Walker who was not very talkative in the Void, "How come I didn't know that you were so amazing back then?"
"You actually believe this kind of nonsense? Twenty thousand people? I can't even kill them all if they just stand there! Do you think killing is like harvesting wheat? "The Knight Walker replied snappily.
In fact, the Knight Walker had led a team of two hundred people and ambushed the enemy's vanguard troop of a thousand people. However, at that time, he was at the peak of his fame. His sword skills were magnificent and domineering, and the visual effect was especially exaggerated. After the thousand defeated troops escaped, they spread the word about how terrifying he was and created a tense atmosphere. Then, coincidentally, he led an elite team to ambush the enemy's camp and killed the enemy's commander. In the end, the army of twenty thousand fell into chaos and retreated in a hurry.
It was true that he single-handedly forced the enemy to retreat. This kind of thing was not exaggerated for a Demigod-level powerhouse. It was just that, in order to spread his fame, his own people embellished the story. From the story of him single-handedly forcing the enemy to retreat, it gradually became that he single-handedly slaughtered all the enemies. In the end, when it came to Mia, it became that he had killed twenty thousand people with a single slash of his sword …
That was the reason why Baiyi did not know how to tell the story of the Voidwalkers to Mia.
However, Mia was a well-behaved and sensible child after all. Seeing the troubled look on Baiyi's face, she did not continue to act like a spoiled child. Instead, she gently shook his arm and said softly, "Why don't you tell me your own story, Mr. Hope?"
"My own story?" Baiyi shook his head, "Before this, I was just a pure, kind, optimistic, cheerful, generous, low-key, reserved, and reserved good person. I stayed in the same place for a long time and saw a lot of things that you don't understand. I don't have any exciting stories. It was until I met you, Mia, that my story began to be written."
"Is that so?" Mia furrowed her brows slightly, "Then, Mr. Hope, you must have been very lonely before this, right? But it doesn't matter now, because I'm by your side … "As she said that, she took off the beautiful shoes on her feet, curled up slightly on the chair, and laid quietly on Baiyi's lap. She closed her eyes and did not say another word.
