Chapter 216: Bai Wei’s Sole Designated Wife
This question instantly stumped Bai Wei.
Damn it, I’ve been countered!
People in the Ming Country have a tradition of teasing children. This counterattack is textbook-level.
Where did the girl become cute? She’s more like a little devil.
How terrifyingly high is this emotional intelligence? Does she already know how to retaliate using someone else’s methods at such a young age?
We cannot let her go!
Bai Wei took a deep breath, thinking about who would die if he answered this life-threatening question.
He immediately thought about standing up.
“A true man keeps his word. Brother, answer it.” Yagyū Simozi held Bai Wei’s shoulder, launching a magnificent rebellion against his elder brother.
“Am I your real brother?” Bai Wei suddenly felt like he spent five years for nothing.
“Hmm, you and I are the closest, no other relatives.” In Yagyū Simozi’s mind, it seemed like that uncle and aunt had already been excluded from the family tree.
“Blood is thicker than water.”
“Even with more than ten generations of bloodline in between.” Yagyū Simozi blinked. “Brother, just be honest…”
“Stop messing around.” Bai Wei calmed down, but his left shoulder was also held down.
“Actually, I want to know too.” Saki Jingūji stood on the left and said, “Who is the beautiful aunt?”
“It’s useless for me to look.” Xue Hanlei smiled. “I’m not close to you either.”
Yun Wuxin sat down directly. “You guys can talk about it, I’ll just take this opportunity to correct Little Shiru’s paper from yesterday.”
She had an attitude of not getting involved.
They were two bystanders who enjoyed spectating without worrying about the consequences. It was normal for people in the Ming Country to enjoy watching shows, especially when it involved a veteran general on stage, holding a flag behind his back, and then raising both hands, shouting “Flag!” “Unite our strength!” “Attack!”
Bai Wei glanced at the smiling Sakurai Shiru, sighed, and raised his hands. “I will answer, is it okay?”
His direct acceptance actually made Yagyū Simozi and Saki Jingūji nervous.
They thought Bai Wei wouldn’t answer no matter what, but they didn’t expect him to give in so readily.
Xue Hanlei’s smile also faded by seventy percent, as if in a romance movie, where the progress bar was dragged directly to the end just halfway through.
Yun Wuxin’s attention also shifted away from the paper, and the red pen in her hand did not fall for a long time.
“Actually, there’s a woman I’ve admired for a long time…”
“She wears gorgeous golden clothes.”
“She has flowing and radiant long hair.”
“Her whole body emits a captivating fragrance.”
“Her character is valiant and decisive.”
Yagyū Simozi clenched his fingertips.
“Her figure is full and slender.”
“Her temperament is majestic and noble.”
Yun Wuxin’s mind couldn’t help but be swayed. She was just thinking… if Bai Wei still had some thoughts about her sister, although it was almost impossible.
“And she…”
Bai Wei was still singing, but he was interrupted by Xue Hanlei.
She was the only one who remained a bystander, as all the descriptions above didn’t match her.
“Who are you talking about? Some kind of stitched-up monster?” Xue Hanlei didn’t believe it. “Where can you find such a good woman?”
“Yes,” Bai Wei sighed deeply, “I have witnessed it with my own eyes, seen it up close.”
“What is it exactly?” The curiosity of the others could no longer be suppressed.
Bai Wei smiled nostalgically.
“Her name is Yi Ahua.”
Imperial aircraft carrier, under construction since the imperial era, a stop-and-start process for over five hundred years, finally completed with Bai Wei’s strong promotion.
However, it has never been deployed in a war and is now housed in the allied nation, the pinnacle of the alliance’s decisive battle weapons.
The full name is the aircraft carrier Yi Ahua, personally named by Bai Wei, not a battleship, but an aircraft carrier!
There’s nothing more magnificent than an aircraft carrier. Bai Wei is indeed a man deeply in love with super warships.
To repair her, how much national budget was spent? Yi Ahua is the real wife, ordinary women don’t deserve Bai Wei’s treatment like this. This is the true meaning of causing harm to the country and the people, captivating a city with a smile, captivating a country with laughter.
Why did he not hesitate to cut down several thousand-year-old golden trees?
To build an aircraft carrier!
It can fly! Aircraft carrier!
In the later stages, the empire’s financial collapse was caused by Bai Wei’s reckless actions. Aside from allowing the nobles to bleed the people dry, he also spared no expense in funding the repairs for Yi Ahua.
It was built, but never used. Just like Jiao Lao’s Gundam, it can only be a display piece once built.
But it’s Yi Ahua, it looks good even as a display!
If it wasn’t for the witches standing in the way, Bai Wei might have married Yi Ahua in one go.
It’s something that a foolish emperor would do, anyway, it’s already repaired, why not go all the way?
Other emperors have three thousand concubines, but Bai Wei is special, he just wants to marry an aircraft carrier, that counts as having a wife.
Five hundred years ago, when Yi Ahua was just completed, even though its engineering level and manufacturing technology reached the limits of human wisdom, capable of stabilizing god-made armaments, and perfectly met the innate conditions for the birth of a ship spirit, its sheer fantastical excellence actually hindered the emergence of its consciousness. It’s like the innate treasures of Daoism such as the Eastern Emperor Bell, Chaotic Axe, and Quantity Heaven Ruler, which possess spirituality but lack wisdom, thus never giving birth to self-awareness.
Bai Wei couldn’t bear to let Yi Ahua sink into the spiritual world’s ocean. Instead, he left it in the allied nation and instructed them to take good care of it. Who knows, one day, it might transform into a ship girl wife!
Holding onto such beautiful aspirations, entered the coffin, and then the emperor died.
The existence of Yi Ahua is top-secret. When Bai Wei said it with a happy face, the others really believed that such a woman existed.
They looked at each other, silent and shocked.
“Never heard of it before.”
“Me neither…”
“Brother, are you kidding?”
“Doesn’t seem like it… Yi Ahua, hm, I’ll remember that!”
“Bai Wei finished his answer, feeling refreshed, ‘Speaking of which, I also have a childhood sweetheart, she works at a cake shop on the street in my hometown.'”
“We don’t need this.” Yagyū Simozi interrupted, “This is not possible, brother, don’t bother thinking about it.”
“Why?”
“In any case, you don’t need to think about it!”
Jingūji tugged at Yagyū Simozi’s sleeve, “Why? Let him speak.”
Yagyū Simozi turned her head and mouthed something to Jingūji.
“——A boy.”
“!”
The Ming Country is so dangerous, and there really are cute boys in existence?
…
After the ward became quiet, Doctor Kurosawa came to make rounds and cleared everyone out, including Bai Wei.
Yagyū Simozi said she would come back after making arrangements and then left.
“Are you happy?”
“Um, I’m very happy.” Sakurai Shiru leaned on the bed. “I really hope to recover soon.”
“Some children actually wish to be sick for a longer time, so they can be taken care of more gently.”
“But they just don’t understand, being sick is really painful, really really painful. The longer it drags on, the people around you carry a tinge of worry, the look in their eyes filled with pity, it makes you feel like a burden.” Sakurai Shiru looked out the window. “I…don’t want to be a burden anymore. I already…caused my father’s death, I can’t cause harm to anyone else.”
“Silly child,” Kurosawa scolded. “No more random thoughts allowed.”
“I’m not, Doctor Kurosawa.” Sakurai Shiru’s smile was heart-wrenching. “I just know that with my father gone, I can no longer rely on others without limits. Uncle is good, the pretty sisters are good too, but the one who would let me be spoiled endlessly is no longer here. I can’t be a burden to others anymore, so I’ve been thinking all along, if I still can’t leave the hospital after December, I would rather…”
Kurosawa covered her mouth, but she knew she couldn’t stop the girl from thinking deep inside.
Kurosawa said earnestly, “You will get better, I promise… Mr. Bai is a very good person, he will treat you like a sister. Yagyū Simozi is not his biological sister either, but he takes good care of her. The people he knows are also good people.”
Sakurai Shiru said quietly, “Uncle is good, but I don’t like them.”
Kurosawa asked curiously, “Why?”
“Because they don’t like me either,” Sakurai Shiru said seriously.
“How could that be?”
“It’s true, because I came, Uncle got divided between us,” Sakurai Shiru’s thoughts were delicate. “So they’re unhappy.”
“Well…” Kurosawa Yaka touched the girl’s hair. “You’re quite observant.”
“I’m not likeable.” Sakurai Shiru hugged her knees. “I’m not cute either.”
“Mr. Bai said you’re cute.”
“But I want to become beautiful, when I’m beautiful, I’ll grow up,” Sakurai Shiru said softly. “Because the pretty sisters will steal Uncle away first.”
“Thinking like that proves that you’re indeed still a child,” Kurosawa Yaka smiled. “Real adults are not afraid of being taken away because there will be someone better.”
“Really?”
“Really.” Doctor Kurosawa said softly, “So, there’s no need to rush to grow up, just wait patiently.”
“But, what if, what if it doesn’t happen?” Sakurai Shiru tugged at Doctor Kurosawa’s sleeve nervously and asked.
Kurosawa Yaka didn’t want to answer, but somehow, she recalled certain past events, paused for a moment, and then spoke with determination.
“…Then we’ll snatch it back!”
