When Baiyi mentioned the dragon knights, a mischievous smile appeared on Undine's face. As if she had something on Baiyi, she whispered something into Tisdale's ear.
"Eh? That's not true. It's just a misunderstanding … "Tisdale said, puzzled." Teacher isn't that kind of person. It's probably just a rumor. Those boring nobles love to spread rumors like this. "
Even though she was defending Baiyi, the way Tisdale looked at Baiyi had also turned a little strange.
"What are you thinking, Dale? Your teacher was almost snatched away by someone! " Undine's sly smile was still on her face as she joked, "You've met Miss Aya, haven't you? She's so pretty, and she has such a cute little girl by her side … But I heard that Miss Aya's age is about the same as yours among the dragons. No wonder your teacher likes her … Ouch! "
Although her voice was soft, Baiyi still heard her clearly. Without any hesitation, he flicked an ice bomb the size of a chalk tip at her head. This was one of the techniques he often used to remind his students to pay attention in class, and Attie was very familiar with it.
"Let's get back to business …" Baiyi snapped. "If you don't say it, I won't listen anymore."
"I know!" Undine stuck her tongue out with an aggrieved expression. "Your little lover's dragon knights … Ouch! Ouch! Wrong, wrong, stop flicking … Your female friend's dragon knights are asking for too much. They're like country bumpkins who haven't seen money before … Ouch! Why are you still flicking me?! "
"You hit me with an ice cube the moment we entered the house, and now you're flinging ice bombs at me? I want to fight you! " Undine covered her forehead, which had turned red from the tiny ice bomb, and said angrily as she hid behind Tisdale.
"Bring it on," Baiyi said calmly, his hands still focused on tying Mia's ribbon.
"Heehee … How would I dare to fight you?" Undine immediately put on a sheepish smile. "Let's get back to business. The Dragon Knights are asking for too much, and they're not willing to work with us for a long time. We've put in a lot of effort, but they've only agreed to escort us once a month."
"But, as you know, a trade route that can only be used once a month, can it even be considered a trade route? Therefore, not only can the air trade route not be short, but it must also be further widened, "Undine finally said.
"Tsk, a large shipment every month, and an air route every few days? No wonder they want to turn Attie's tribe into a distribution center. " Baiyi murmured in a low voice as he swiftly tied the purple ribbon on Mia's ponytail into two beautiful bows, making the little girl look adorable again. Putting her down, he pinched her cheeks.
"Thank you, Mr. Hope!" Mia smiled happily. She looked at herself in the mirror and exclaimed, "Mr. Hope's cooking is even better than mine, Mister Hope! As a reward, let me help you clean your body! "
As she spoke, she quickly ran towards the kitchen. Vidomina, who was beside her, quickly reacted and chased after her. "I'll go with you, Mia!"
Undine, who had witnessed the scene, had a strange look on her face. She changed the topic and said, "You know how to tie a hair rope? Where did you learn this? It's even better than a girl's … "
Ha! There's a Great Sage in the Void who wishes to remain anonymous. Every day, when she's not busy with her studies and cultivation, she likes to study this. Not only is the technique exquisite, but it's also full of different styles. With the help of magic, she's come up with all sorts of fancy styles, kitten style, bear style, rune style, tortoiseshell style, and so on.
It's a pity that she's so beautiful, but in the end, she can only admire herself … Baiyi mocked her, and before she realized it, he quickly changed the topic, "So, other than buying more formations, you're here to help me convince Attie? Speaking of which, how's the situation in the steppe now? "
"Thanks to you, it's a mess!" Undine replied with a chuckle, "Their strongest clans have been greatly weakened by you and the few warriors from the Alpine. The remaining clans are not strong enough to unify the steppe. Right now, they've completely fallen into a phase where they're fighting their own battles. Today, they'll unite, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, they'll betray each other. They're all in a state of disunity, unable to do anything anymore."
"On the other hand, because of the ban that you've announced, Attie's clan has become a shelter on the steppe. Their days are relatively peaceful and there are even refugees who come to seek shelter from them. They're growing stronger day by day. As for those weaker clans, they've already snuck over there and started to use all kinds of fur, herbs, and ores to buy weapons and supplies from us. " Undine continued with a hint of excitement, "A market that connects the three regions has gradually taken shape. This time, I'm here to have a good talk with Miss Attie!"
Is that so? No wonder this lass was so eager to rope in other merchants. The Northern Continent and the steppe were too big for a single family to swallow. This juicy piece of meat had to be shared with others, and the Dole family only needed to take advantage of the fact that they were the first to get their hands on the juiciest part.
"Maybe she's more suited to be a merchant than a sword saint," Baiyi said in the Void. Baiyi said in the Void. "Look at how fast she can change her expression now. Didn't she want to strip Attie naked and hang her up and whip her?"
"Hahaha! Looks like this descendant of mine is really outstanding! She's inherited our family's glorious tradition!" The Merchant said proudly. "But Sir Hope, if we don't get involved in such a profitable business, it'll be a shame, won't it?"
"It's worth discussing. We can talk about it later," Baiyi replied. The Kitty Cat Maid was busy preparing breakfast for everyone in the kitchen, and Nota the fairy was helping her out by the side. "That's right," Baiyi replied, raising his voice to summon Attie.
Attie obediently sat beside Baiyi and glanced at Undine guiltily. Then, she gave Baiyi a pitiful look and shook his arm lightly, as if asking Master, are you going to sell me to her for revenge?
"Something like this …" Baiyi straightened Attie's cat ears, which had become crooked from all the work she had done, and briefly explained the situation to her.
Attie heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that Baiyi was not going to sell her. Then, she heard that her clan had become peaceful and prosperous because of the trade route and Baiyi's ban, and that they were even growing stronger by the day. A smile of relief appeared on her face.
'It seems that following Master was a wise decision!' Attie thought, and she smiled sweetly.
After Baiyi's explanation, Undine continued, "Miss Attie, or should I say, Your Majesty, we need your help …"
Although Undine's words were polite, her tone did not sound like she was asking for help. Baiyi could hear the stiffness and coldness in her voice. It seemed that Attie had not completely let go of the things she had done to her. It was only because of her professionalism as a businesswoman and her clan's interests that she had spent a lot of effort to soften her tone.
However, Attie didn't mind her attitude. Instead, she nodded politely and replied in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "Miss Undine, I'm no longer the king of the grassland. I'm just a servant to my master. You should ask the current leader of my clan about these things. "
'Loyal!' After listening to Attie's words, Baiyi's heart was filled with warmth. It seemed like the War God had given him a big gift!
But then again … Attie's tribe was growing stronger day by day, and the other tribes were constantly being drained in the war. After such a long period of decline, in addition to the establishment of the transit station and the necessary support provided by the merchants to maintain stability and safety, Attie's Dawn Moon Tribe really had the bearing of a king.
When that time came, she would act coquettishly to him and lend her the War God's Sword for a while. Then, she could return to her clan with the War God's Sword and rule the Steppe once again! Unlike the last time, this time, she had a strong backing and a solid foundation. Wouldn't it be great to be the King?
Baiyi suddenly had a strange feeling. If Attie really returned to her clan and became the King, then wouldn't he be back to square one after all the trouble he had gone through? It would even make Attie's throne more stable? Could this be another trap set by the War God?
Baiyi asked tentatively, "Attie, your clan is getting stronger and stronger. Do you want to go back to your clan? Who knows, you might even become the King again! "
Attie's petite body trembled. Her eyes stared at Baiyi's visor, and her eyes reddened. Tears welled up in her eyes as she asked in a sobbing voice, "Master, you're chasing me away? Who's going to cook for Mia and the others when I'm gone? Who's going to clean the house and the yard? "
"Of course I don't want to leave you," Baiyi said, pinching her cheeks. "But, don't you want to go home?"
"I don't! I don't want to! " Attie burst into tears. She threw herself into Baiyi's arms and hugged his waist tightly. "Master, I don't want to go anywhere! I just want to stay by your side! This is my home …" Then, she raised her tear-stained face and whispered pitifully, "Master, please don't chase me away, okay?"
