Quit the team, then picked up a beautiful girl with problems

The two stared at each other, and Zoe stood on tiptoe, unwilling to be outdone.

There was a sound of someone entering downstairs, and someone walked up the stairs step by step.

It’s Leon.

The two girls were about to go over when they saw that he was holding someone in his arms.

Although her hair is very short and cut in a messy way, her pretty face and graceful curves make it clear that she is a girl.

'"What's going on!" they both shouted.

Li Ang was startled: "What's wrong? Do you want to call out everyone in the corridor?"

He carried Andasu into the room. Zoe and Dorothy looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

It seems that in some places, I am completely wrong?

Leon put the beast-eared girl on the bed. Dorothy stood behind him and asked, "Can you explain?"

"This is the leader of the gang we met before."

"Oh, you're interested in men too?"

"You saw it yourself before," Leon said to her.

"Huh, you spend all day looking for unattractive tablets. Don't you think someone like me is better?"

Dorothy pressed her palms just below the collarbone, and whether out of anger or intentional action, her body rose and fell seductively in waves.

Zoe looked down and said angrily, "It's obviously there, what tablet?! Do you want to compete with Alulu?"

"Can a man be compared to a cow?"

"You're not a human, you're a pointy-eared monster."

"You little brat!"

"Alright, alright," Li Ang raised his hands. "I'll explain. Don't act like I have bad intentions. This is a complicated situation."

He went to investigate the Order Sandstorm Group near the palace area, then sneaked into the Platinum Palace, heard about Andasu's situation, and told her about how Fukat defeated the captives.

"Where's that Fokart? I'm going to kick his ass to pieces." Dorothy was filled with indignation.

Zoe looked at the animal-eared girl sleeping on the bed and asked, "Is being a slave miserable?"

"Yes, but she is not a slave in the conventional sense. She appears to be free, but King Platinum tightly controls her fate, constantly frustrating her will and trying to drive her to utter despair."

Li Ang saw Andasu's eyelids move slightly.

"So I want to recruit her. She can bring great benefits to our group."

Andasu suddenly sat up from the bed and kicked at Li Ang. When she found that she missed, she somersaulted to the ground and stood up.

"Don't think I'll trust you just because you saved me."

White Wolf said, "It just allows me to be a slave to a new master!"

After a few breaths, she saw Li Ang's face clearly and was stunned: "It's you? Yes, that silver light is indeed the same..."

Andasu looked at Zoe and Dorothy who were present and lowered her guarded posture.

"I'm not interested in playing house with you. Let me go."

“What’s playing house?” Zoe asked.

"It's just that we feel our adventures are play," said Dorothy.

"How can we say we're playing?" Zoe denied it, then added, "But it's certainly fun."

Andasu pointed at Li Ang and said, "With him around, have you ever experienced any real danger?"

"Yes." Both girls said so.

"We were just attacked by a big, ugly monster bug," Zoe said.

"Sand Nest Demon Worm?" Andasu shook her head. "That only proves that he saved you. How could you possibly defeat him?"

Zod puffed out his cheeks.

"It's true that I was the one who killed the monster in the end, but they also showed their bravery. One day they will have the strength to confront it head-on."

This didn't convince Andasu. She shook her head and said, "What have they paid for letting you take care of them like this?"

“Paid—”

Andasu interrupted Li Ang and said, "They are all your forbidden lover, right?"

"You misunderstood——"

"Yes," Dorothy insisted.

Li Ang covered his face and sighed.

"Look." The girl with animal ears spread out her hands. You can see that her knuckles are distinct and her hands are soft and slender.

Zoe didn't understand at all and just blinked beside him.

"But you misunderstood something," Dorothy said, her hands on her hips. "I admit that I cling to him like a dodder, but it's not because I want his power, but because he is irreplaceable in my entire life."

"Right." Zoe understood now. "It was Leon who changed my life. That's why I'm helping him build the Air Cavalry Regiment."

Andasu's thin lips moved, but she didn't say anything for the time being.

Li Ang had felt before that she cared a lot about the fact that her main account was used to take care of her subordinate account.

"Why do I protect them? I've told you the reason before. I've trained them normally, but you, 'Six Lin', just can't understand."

Leon asked, "You've never left the Glittering Fields, have you?"

The girl's expression changed slightly, and she said, "So what?"

"So you don't know that in some places outside the Glittering Fields, relationships between people aren't all about taking and trading, but also about mutual help and mutual benefit.

"Don't you want to go out and take a look? Maybe you'll understand after seeing the world outside."

"Going out...how can it be any better?" Andasu shook her head.

"We are an officially registered air cavalry group called the Star Flower Brigade."

Li Ang said, "You know you're a racing ace, right? Your ability is crucial to us, so I'd like to formally invite you to join our air cavalry regiment."

Andasu frowned and thought for a moment: "The so-called Sky Cavalry is just a fancy way of saying Sky Pirates, right?"

"Of course it's different. Sky pirates are just a disguise. We are a team officially registered with the Sky Knights Guild. Our goal is much bigger than robbery. We want to see the ultimate scenery of the world." Leon said affirmatively.

"A guild, the Furkart kind?"

"..."

Li Ang realized that persuading her was more difficult than he had imagined.

Although she is "normal", her cognition is completely bound to the environment of the Flashing Fields, and her imagination of the outside world is mostly the dark side of the Sabramu airspace.

"People like me have the obligation to deal with people like Fukart." That's all Leon could say.

"We are different." Andasu crossed her arms in a gesture of resistance.

"Hehe." Dorothy laughed aside and said, "You're pestering me. The person you really want to invite turns out not to be interested."

Li Ang felt that she had an inexplicable joy.

"Well, you're willing to kill King Platinum, right?" Leon asked.

To his surprise, Andasu did not nod immediately. Instead, she thought for a while before saying, "I, I don't know, maybe..."

Before Li Ang could speak, Zoe spoke first: "He treated you like that, don't you want to resist?"

"I have to pay a huge debt every month," Dorothy said. "I've seen people driven crazy by bank loans. I'm not short of money, but it's scary, isn't it?"

Andasu didn't say anything.

It seems that there is something hidden behind this matter.

"So you don't want to join us for now, but if there's work for you, would you do it?"

Li Ang pointed to the west and said, "I want you to take me to the rocky mountain passage in the airship."

"I don't have an airship right now, you know."

King Platinum put Andasu's ship into the winning prize of the Flowing Silver Fight. Leon didn't understand why he did that.

"Do you know why?"

"He wants to frustrate me, don't you know?" said Andasu.

Li Ang always felt that something was missing. Although this was a goal, a leader like King Platinum had other ways to suppress Andasu. But he should be tempted by the huge fortune she earned from winning every year. For a slave owner, how could he ever make enough money?

Unless, letting others win can bring him more benefits.

"Then I should rent or buy a boat?"

"It's not available now," Andasu said. "Before the race begins, the leaders will stop these transactions to limit competition."

That seemed to only help her get the boat back.

Turn the Platinum Palace upside down? We don't know the current situation of the Dragon Worship Cult, so it's difficult to act rashly.

Liuyin Fighting Skills?... Li Ang began to search for relevant details of the fighting skills competition from his memory.

Leon said to Andasu, "Now that Fukat has been captured by us, you don't have to worry about this. But it's best not to go see King Platinum again. Wait until dawn and go with us to the weapons house, and then you can go find your companions.

"Now that I'm in your hands, I have no choice but to obey you. But it's impossible for me to be your slave willingly."

Andasu sat down with a desperate look on her face. She did not resist physically, but it was obvious that she had completely misunderstood something.

99. Makeover

Next, we had to wait for dawn. Although Alulu was the only one who was still fast asleep among those who were going to the weapons shop, the weapons shop was still closed when we went there early.

Zoe and Dorothy both sat on Leon's bed and asked them why they were talking in the corridor, but both of them hesitated.

After sitting for a while, they were half asleep and half awake, in a daze, but they refused to go back to the house when called.

Leon sat down at the table looking for something to do.

The team's airship design has not been completed yet. He is thinking about the functional requirements and how to modify and strengthen the original hull in the future, and he keeps adding and deleting content on the design drawing.

After completing a rough sketch, he stretched and stood up, meeting Andasu's pale golden eyes.

She had been curled up in the chair with her knees hugged, watching Li Ang writing and drawing on the drawing board.

She looked like she wanted to say something, so Li Ang waited. She pretended to be indifferent and looked around. When she looked at Li Ang again, she found that he was still looking at her, and she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"...What kind of ship is that?"

Her voice originally sounded somewhat like a boy's, which was why she was mistakenly considered a handsome young man. However, when she was emotionally depressed, her voice became soft and husky, with a unique charm.

"It's the team airship we're planning to build."

“Can the materials support such a large scale?”

"There's a place called Mengze Island. The trees there are incredibly strong and can support any ship, no matter how large it is."

"What kind of engine could propel a ship that big?"

"At first, I planned to use a regular internal combustion engine with a booster magic circle, and later replace it with a high-level magic furnace."

"What are the complex structures you left on the ship's surface for?"

"It will be used to fix materials and support the new structure during later strengthening and expansion."

"Can I see these blueprints?"

As White Wolf chatted, he gradually forgot that he was "imprisoned" and wanted to borrow the design drawings to take a look.

The drawing board was handed over, and the short-haired girl flipped through it with great interest, muttering to herself.

“…I didn’t realize you could compose your image this way, so you can understand the general design at a glance.”

"...the masters also used diagonal lines like this when they designed. I was always right."

“…this kind of drawing is both concise and fully encapsulates the whole.”

Finally, Andasu handed the drawing board back with both hands and said respectfully, "I didn't expect that the weapon master is also a shipbuilding master. That's amazing."

"My name is Li Ang, you can just call me by my name."

"Andasu Umor, my full name."
