At dawn the next day, the fox was the first to wake up. It crawled up from the carpet in the room, stretched lazily, and smoothed its fur. Then, it ran to the room next door, grabbed the sunflower's head, and brought it outside to bask in the sun.
Then, it froze. It left the sunflower behind and ran around the yard, sniffing everywhere. Finally, it returned to Baiyi's side with a bunch of shiny things in its mouth. When it opened its mouth, a series of 'ding ding ding ding' sounds rang out. It was the throwing knives and hidden weapons left behind by the assassins yesterday.
"Oh? Well … Last night, after you all went to sleep, some uninvited guests showed up, and I chased them away. Everything's fine now, but I haven't had time to tidy up the lawn yet. "Baiyi and the fox had a brief conversation.
The fox's ears perked up, and it turned left and right with a fox-like expression of disbelief on its face. 'How could it not have noticed such a big commotion?'
"That's because the opponents were powerful assassins, so it's normal that you didn't notice. But it's fine now, and they probably won't come again. Just find some time today to tidy up the lawn … Oh? You mean Sunny is already tidying the lawn? Isn't that great? Huh? There's still some ice on the roof? Oh … That's from the spell I cast last night. Just leave it there, and it'll melt on its own, right? What? Worried that it'll fall and hit someone? How's that possible? I don't have many people here, and besides, who would be stupid enough to get hit by such an obvious piece of ice? "Baiyi continued to chat with the fox.
Just as he finished his sentence, a familiar voice rang out from outside the door. "Eh? This sunflower can move on its own? It can even hum and sing! That's so funny … Ow! Why did an ice cube suddenly fall from the sky?! "
Baiyi and the fox looked at each other with awkward expressions on their faces.
A few moments later, Miss Undine, who had not been seen for a while, walked into the house with a bump on her head. She did not even bother to greet Baiyi when she entered the house. Instead, she kicked off her high heels and lay down on the sofa in the living room. Rubbing her forehead, she grimaced in pain as she took out a bottle of orange potion and gulped it down. It was as if she had returned to her own home.
Baiyi did not know whether to laugh or cry. You're a Legendary Level Warrior after all! How did you get hit by that kind of ice? Could it be that after returning to the nature of a merchant, he had degenerated into a cute creature?
Seeing that Baiyi was walking towards her, Undine did not even have the slightest intention of getting up and sitting properly. She was still lying on the bed, her delicate and alluring body was laid out for Baiyi to see. Her legs that were wrapped in black stockings were tightly pressed together. That mesmerizing line and the black material that was exuding an alluring luster formed a dangerous vortex that made Baiyi want to touch it …
Most importantly, Undine didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong with it. Instead, she asked angrily, "Why is there an ice cube falling from the sky?"
"Maybe it's because the weather is getting cold?" Baiyi quickly turned his head to look out the window. It was foggy outside, so it must be very cold.
"Are you kidding me? It's winter now, but it's not cold enough for ice cubes to fall from the sky! "Undine retorted angrily.
Baiyi casually glanced at her. He was not worried at all. With the physique of a Legendary Level Warrior, being smashed by a rock would only hurt a little. So, he leisurely sat down on the sofa next to him and said with concern as a senior, "Since you know that it's already winter, why are you still wearing summer clothes? Such a short skirt … Aren't you afraid of the cold? "
"What are you talking about, Mr. Hope?!" Undine jumped up from the sofa and put on her shoes. With a serious expression, she said, "I'm wearing the latest winter collection that hasn't been released yet. It took me a lot of effort to get my hands on it. Even though it's still black and sporty, I took into account the weather, so the bust is a lot higher …"
As she spoke, she pointed at her chest. Yes, it was a relatively conservative size. It wasn't as wide as before, and it didn't go all the way down to her navel. However, her shoulders were still exposed, and the two shoulder straps just so happened to cover her exposed collarbones, forming an elegant bow around her neck.
"Also, the skirt has been replaced with a pleated one, and the knee socks have been replaced with pantyhose. Didn't you notice such an obvious change?" Undine said, a little speechless. She seemed a little disappointed that the new winter collection that she had spent so much effort on did not attract Baiyi's attention. She even muttered under her breath, "So, you really only pay attention to younger girls, huh?"
"Uh … Um … I really didn't notice these differences …" Baiyi replied awkwardly.
Suddenly, Lady Assassin Walker's voice rang out in the Void. "Whenever you see a girl, you only look at her skirt. Are her legs nice? What color are her stockings? Of course you wouldn't notice these changes. "
Baiyi did not know how to respond to her sharp retort.
To turn the tables, he had no choice but to thicken his skin and ask like a gangster, "Then, are your legs nice?"
"Huh?! Why … Why are you suddenly asking this? M-my body … Haven't you seen it all in your memory? It's not as long as hers, but I work out a lot, so I'm pretty confident in my curves. If I were to wear black stockings … "Lady Assassin Walker's voice grew softer and softer, and eventually, Baiyi could no longer hear her. She stopped bothering him.
Hmph! Baiyi snorted in his mind. He did not really care about what Lady Assassin Walker had said. Her voice was too soft, and he could not hear a thing.
After dealing with Lady Assassin Walker with ease, Undine, who was outside, had finished explaining the special features of her new outfit. She added, "Don't be fooled by the flimsiness of this winter outfit. It's actually equipped with miniature temperature-control runes!"
"Alright, alright. I get it. I get it." Baiyi felt a headache coming on, and he quickly changed the topic. "You're not here to show off your new outfit, are you?"
"Of course I'm not that bored! I just got hit by an ice cube, so I'm feeling a little dizzy, "Undine said, feeling wronged. Then, she asked," Do you have a mirror? "
Baiyi had no choice but to ask the fox to fetch a polished silver plate from the kitchen and pass it to Undine.
However, when Undine saw the big fox, her eyes instantly lit up. She grabbed the fox's pointy ears and said as she stroked it, "What a beautiful big dog. Where did you buy it? Ouch! Why are you grabbing my ears? "
"It's a fox, and it's also my new student. It's not a big dog!" Baiyi said helplessly.
"Ah … I see … I'm sorry, Sage Zakun. I've offended you earlier …" Undine apologized.
The fox was good-natured, so it raised its left paw and waved, signaling that it was fine.
Then, Undine turned to Baiyi, who was standing behind her, and said, "Um … Mr. Hope, can you let go of my ear? It's very sensitive there … "
"Uh … Let's get down to business …" Baiyi loosened his grip awkwardly. It felt so good that he had forgotten to let go.
Undine explained the main purpose of her visit to Baiyi in detail. The aerial trade route required more transportation, and the Dole family hoped to purchase more glider kits at a better price. At the same time, they planned to turn the area where Attie's clan was located into a large cargo transfer station.
After a few successful transactions, the Dole Family began to transport goods from the Northern Continent to the Southern Continent. Most of the goods were raw materials and luxury goods that were unique to the Northern Continent. These goods had a huge market in the Southern Continent, and the Dole Family was able to earn a huge sum of money from them.
But at the same time, the secret of the Dole Family's control over the air trade route was exposed. This was exactly what the Dole Family wanted. They needed more capital to better develop the Northern market. They would work together with the Northerners to develop the market on both sides. Together, they would make a lot of money, and they would win until their hands were tired.
Coincidentally, Gouve's forces had recently fled to the Southland, and the skycruising rays and griffins had become a new source of transportation. With the skycruising rays' capacity, the Dole family would be able to fulfill most of the needs of the Northland's goods.
"Doesn't that mean my glider won't be able to be sold?" Baiyi asked curiously as he combed the hair of Vidomina, who was sitting on his lap. Little Mia was sitting next to him, her hair disheveled, waiting for his service. Halfway through their conversation, the humanoid students woke up.
Vidomina had become even more clingy after the tragedy that had befallen her family. The moment she woke up, she would call out to her Godfather, Godfather, and she would ask Baiyi to comb her hair. Little Mia, on the other hand, seemed to have sensed danger, so she put down the comb in her hand and made the same request.
Fortunately, Baiyi did not mind. In fact, he quite enjoyed it. Back when he was still living in the girls' dormitory, he would comb Little Mia's hair from time to time. He had not done it since they moved into the mansion.
"Why can't they be sold? Don't forget, other than those barbarians, there are also all sorts of ferocious beasts in the forest that threaten the skycruising rays! Skycruising Rays can't fly at night anyway, "Undine replied. Her hands were busy combing Tisdale's hair.
"What about the dragon knights? Why don't you just ask them to escort you? You're so rich; surely you won't mind spending money like this, right? " Baiyi said as he pinned a cute kitten hairpin on Vidomina's hair. He put her down, picked up Little Mia, and began to comb her long, black hair.
