156. Necessity
In the face of Miya's father's aggressive posture, Bai is also a little angry, but he can't attack, in fact, aside from all personal emotional factors, he doesn't necessarily have to force to replace his father's identity, to be precise, he needs to play a role that is higher than his father's, with the importance of Xiao Miya to the Void Walker, this is very necessary.
He doesn't mind who Miya calls her father, but Miya must be closer to him and listen to him more, whether it is personal feelings or practical needs, he doesn't want to see other people who can shake Miya appear, whether it is forbidding Miya to fall in love, or today's attitude towards Miya's father, it is based on this principle, lovers or fathers have too much influence on a little girl of Miya's age, and it is easy to influence her and cause some unpredictable consequences.
This has nothing to do with personal preference, whether Bai Yi is a perverted ghost father who is heavily controlled by his daughter, he must do so for the benefit of the Void Walker.
Miya, the only channel for the Voidwalker to communicate with reality, must be firmly controlled in his hands no matter what, in fact, the lich and the demon's initial suggestion was very much in line with practical interests, but out of moral considerations, Bai Yicai insisted on getting along with the little guy in the current situation, so when Miya's father showed hostility towards him, he had such a strong reaction.
Many people may be accustomed to the daily life of him and Miya, and forget the importance of Miya to the Void Walker, Bai Yi has not forgotten, in fact, if it weren't for some valuable qualities in Xiao Miya that really moved him, maybe she wouldn't be what she is now.
Miya has been waiting for thousands of years as a voidwalker to get out of trouble, in order to prevent any possible accidents, Bai Yi can't take too much control over her, it's okay to play with beautiful girls, but you must not get away with business.
However, since he chose to get along in this way from the beginning, instead of brainwashing Miya into a slave or becoming a lich, then Bai Yi will not change this policy in the future, even if he is facing Miya's father as a powerful opponent at the moment, he finally gave up his plan to kill him, even if this unstable factor makes him a little uneasy, but he is still somewhat confident in his skills and personal charm.
So in the face of Miya's father's questioning, Bai Yi put on a calm posture and said calmly: "You are indeed a very good father, you taught Miya very well, I see a lot of noble qualities in her, that is, these precious things make me so dedicated to taking care of her and guiding her." ”
After that, he took advantage of Miya's father's lack of reaction, reached out and touched Miya's head, "She's a good boy." ”
"Hee-hee~" The little guy didn't resist Bai Yi's touch, but he just looked a little more smug on his face, lowered his head slightly, and replied: "Actually, I don't hope that Mr. is so good as you say..."
In the face of Bai Yi's seemingly concessionary words, and complimented himself again, Miya's father was not embarrassed to be aggressive, but continued to follow Bai Yi's words: "Hey~ The daughter I taught, that is naturally the best daughter, but she has gone to the academy now, and she will have to rely on Mr. Hope to take care of her more in the future..."
"It's natural, and I'm sure I'll educate her better and take care of her more comfortably in the future." Bai Yi also replied.
So the originally tense contradictory situation, because of Bai Yi's small concession, became the father-in-law and son-in-law to transfer responsibilities, Miya's father instinctively felt that there was something wrong, but he couldn't say it.
And Bai Yi also seized the gap before he could react, and took out two small trinkets from the storage bag - a men's pendant and a women's necklace, which he bought when he bought clothes for Xiao Miya yesterday, as a gift for Miya's parents, and then he threw it into the magic furnace for some small processing, and made two pieces of magic equipment that were not bad.
It stands to reason that he should have put this meeting gift out at the beginning, but he really didn't expect Miya's parents to be such simple people, this gift is not very suitable, the pendant is hung outside the jacket pocket, and the necklace is also the style suitable for evening dresses... But looking at the ordinary cloth clothes on Miya's parents, it suddenly made these two magic props created by the Fifth Void Walker feel a little unreachable.
Who would have thought in advance that Miya's father would be such a lord?
But the preparations are ready, and it is a waste not to take them out, these two accessories also have good practicality in addition to decoration, so Bai Yi still pushed the two small boxes in front of Miya's parents, and then said: "A small gift, not a respect." ”
Miya's father frowned, not quite wanting to accept the dowry; Miya's mother didn't think as much as him, so she took it, opened it, closed the box again, and said with an embarrassed face: "Mr. Hope, this..."
"Don't shirk." Bai Yi hurriedly waved his hand, "This is what Xiao Miya chose for you, and I later carried out some simple processing on it, and added two emergency teleportation magics." ”
"Oh? Magic items. Miya's father suddenly became a little interested, and also opened his box, and saw the pendant that resembled a pocket watch, a golden disc and a golden chain, which is one of the more commonly used ornaments for aristocratic men, usually in the disc with their own emblem or a portrait of a beautiful woman, and then hang the chain outside the breast pocket.
"The last time I brought this thing was to the wedding of the earl's daughter, and I rented the dress." Miya's father smiled bitterly and said, "The other guests at the meeting also seemed to see my identity, and they were all far away from me, so I ate some food and left alone." Since then, I haven't wanted to bring these things with me. ”
After that, he put the pendant back in the box and made a gesture to return it to Bai Yi, he did not change his opinion because it was a magic prop, even if with the current conditions of their husband and wife, they basically did not have much access to the luxury of magic props.
"Magic items are expensive, aren't they? The two of us will stay in this small place, safe and sound, so don't waste it on us, let's leave it to Miya. Miya's mother also closed the box and said, there was no greed and nostalgia on her face, and it could be seen that the couple was indeed the kind of person who was indifferent to fame and fortune.
Your daughter doesn't lack these things at all, okay? Regardless of those ordinary goods, as long as she is okay with the hammerhead shark puppet that is rubbing, there is a tendency to develop towards the world-destroying artifact, do you know how many pieces of territory like yours can be exchanged for this grade of thing? Bai also slandered in his heart.
As a result, it was Xiao Miya who said these words for him, "Mom and Dad, you can accept it, these props can save you once at a critical moment, my words, Mr. Hope is by your side, there is no shortage of these." ”
"Isn't there a shortage of these?" Miya's father glanced at Miya and Bai Yi with some suspicion, and Miya's mother's eyes also fell on the new skirt on Miya's body, and she held the skirt with her hand, and after carefully rubbing it in the palm of her hand, she asked a little strangely: "What kind of fabric is this skirt made of?" ”
"Recently, a new type of magic cloth has been launched, called Indestructible Lake Light." Bai Yi said, raising his finger and casting an illumination spell on Miya, so that Xiao Miya's blue dress, which usually looked ordinary, suddenly became like it was woven from the sparkling lake light.
"This..."Miya's parents' eyes suddenly flashed with amazement, but then they looked at each other at the same time, and then said to Bai Yi in unison: "I hope Your Excellency, please wait a while." With that, the two of them took Xiao Miya's arms and went to the next room.
What's going on with this for parents? Shouldn't they think that Xiao Miya relied on selling her hue to get these material conditions? But I'm just a soul armor! Wouldn't you think too much? Bai Yi sat alone in the living room, thinking a little strangely.
After a long while, Xiao Miya returned to Bai Yi alone with a little sullenness, and the beautiful skirt and beautiful shoes on her body were replaced with the most ordinary styles, not only the skirt was knee-length, but the shoulders were tightly covered...
Uh, at least in terms of aesthetics, they're pretty much the same as Bai?
"Woo~" Xiao Miya sat back beside Bai Yi, knocked her chin on Bai Yi's arm a little listlessly, pouted slightly, and said, "Mom and Dad said I can't spend your money indiscriminately." ”
"Why can't you spend my money? Isn't it for you to spend my money? Bai Yi asked, and reached out to comb the little guy's messy bangs on his forehead.
"They asked me what kind of relationship I should have with the soul armor, and I said that it was the relationship between a partner and a teacher, and they said that since they were partners and teachers, they couldn't accept each other's favors at will, and they had to rely on themselves to work hard..."
Forehead... This concept itself is fine, and it can even be said to be good, but it is a bit too rigid, right? Bai Yi thought to himself, and at the same time, he probably understood why Miya's father showed such strong malice towards him when they first met, whether it was the luxurious carriage when they first met or the new clothes on Miya's body, this was indeed a little uneasy and kind.
"They confiscated the new dress, saying they wanted to scrape together enough money to pay it back to you." Xiao Miya continued, then shook Bai Yi's arm again, and said in a begging tone: "Mr. Hope, I don't want the skirt, I will wash it and return it to you, can you give it to Artie or Sister Jiaer?" But don't ask for mom and dad's money, okay? This dress is so expensive, they have to save it for a long time..."
Bai Yi shook her head helplessly, how could such a girl not let people spend money on her?
