Chapter 126: Pride Vs Benefits
"I can accept that you didn't change right now to fool the people in this town, but once we get out this town you should return to the correct height for your age, don't disobey your older sister. Seeing how you have flown before, you aren't able to fly without the help of wind skills. You seem to have a poor control of your bloodline, I will teach you to control it well and you will be able to fly as easy as you walk, but you need to listen to me. Furthermore, I see that Wyba is the opposite to you, she knows how to fly and how to use her bloodline will, but she can't use any wind skill to improve her flying abilities as you do; I will also help her to improve in that area."
Yale had an internal battle between his pride and the benefits of learning how to fly without skills.
He should be able to do it with his bloodline, but he never relied too much on the bloodline, so he didn't know how to use it. Yale had only used his bloodline to use Bloodline Force, he never tried to use it for anything else, nor he knew how to do it.
Moreover, he couldn't rely on Wyba to teach him because she always used her bloodline by instinct as she was a real Frost Winged Wolf.
Usually, only a Rank 9 would be able to fly freely in the sky without using skills and without any limits. At the Rank 8, it was possible flying without skills, but with some limitations.
Only those with bloodlines from beasts that could fly were able to fly freely without skills before that realm, and that was an incredible advantage. Even if Yale needed to battle someone of a higher Rank than him, being capable of flying could save his life as would allow him to flee as long the other party didn't have a compatible bloodline or had a good skill for flying.
Furthermore, seeing how much Aiwai wanted to have a cute pair of twins with her, Yale would find it easier to ask her for teaching him archery if he accepted to transform.
Aiwai seemed to be the type of person that would help him in all he needed as long he obeyed her.
The benefits for Yale were too many, and even Wyba would be benefited, the only problem was Yale's pride, he didn't want to transform into such young kid or be treated like that.
Yale was also worried about how Wyba would think about him if he did that. He was her big brother, and she liked to be carried by him; if Yale obeyed Aiwai, he would be unable to carry Wyba, his strength wouldn't change, but the problem would be the sizes of their bodies.
Yale feared that he would lose his respect and position as the big brother if he obeyed Aiwai.
"Wyba, what do you think about that? Do you want to go with her? She wants me to transform into a kid of your age."
Yale asked her using his Spiritual Sense; he wanted to hear Wyba's opinion as it was also very important to him.
As Yale was unable to solve his inner battle by himself, he hoped that Wyba's opinion would be able to push him into making a decision.
"I want to go with her, she seems very kind, and I like her. I don't mind what aspect big bro takes, you would always be my loved big bro."
Wyba replied mentally with the wolf language in which she was more proficient for fear of transmitting anything wrong as she knew that Yale was asking something important.
Yale had never cared if Wyba was a wolf or a little girl to consider her his little sister, in the same way, Wyba didn't mind about Yale transforming into another form, for her, Yale was her big brother disregarding his external aspect.
After hearing Wyba's reply, Yale was softened. He also thought that Wyba was a kid and should long for having some more family love; Yale loved her a lot, but he was her brother, she was a little girl that also wanted someone more mother-like. That was one of the reasons she liked to be with Ange and Julie when Yale was busy.
However, both of them were still normal humans, and Wyba couldn't communicate with them at that time. Furthermore, she couldn't feel the feeling of being family with them. On the other hand, Aiwai looked similar to herself, and Wyba felt well near her due to having the same bloodline.
Yale understood Wyba's feelings, although she was born as a beast, due to her contract with Yale, her intelligence was more similar to half-beast or a human of her age and also the things she wanted.
Yale finally decided to swallow his pride, he had been doubting about if the benefits were enough to swallow his pride or not, but Wyba's happiness was more important than his pride.
"Alright, sis. I will transform after leaving the town."
Aiwai smiled, she liked obedient kids. Yale had a correct impression of her, as long they obeyed her and didn't make her angry, she would help them without restraints.
She had already decided that she wouldn't have children as that remembered her too much how her clan wanted her to act.
Moreover, for half-beasts with strange bloodlines like the Frost Winged Wolf, the chances of having children with the same bloodline as the parents were extremely low.
That was the main reason that even if some powerful mutated bloodlines appear in the Anpaes Kingdom, there weren't powerful clans with mutated bloodlines, the degradation of such bloodlines was too quick.
Of course, even a degraded mutated bloodline would still be stronger than a normal one for a few generations, and that was valued for most clans.
Aiwai wasn't interested in finding a husband or trying to make a clan with degraded bloodlines. She just wanted to be with other people with her same bloodline, so she had enough adopting Yale and Wyba as her siblings.
"Well said. I am looking forward to it."
At that time, the tiger man and his daughter returned to the plaza where they separated from Yale and Wyba.
The father was unable to believe his eyes when he saw Aiwai, he had felt before that an extremely powerful being was at the plaza, but when he looked at her, he didn't fail to notice that she was extremely similar to Yale and Wyba.
Aiwai had stored the bow when she went to hug Wyba before, but she took it out after the tiger man appeared in the plaza, she didn't trust others. She wouldn't kill or hate without reasons, but if they showed the minimum hostility towards Yale or Wyba, they were dead meat.
"Yale, we have finished treating the wounded people, thank you for your help before."
The tiger man spoke politely because he feared Aiwai and was guessing her relationship with Yale and Wyba.
"I am sorry for not being able to help more. You should be thinking about who is the beauty at my side; she is my big sister."
Yale didn't forget to flatter her a bit when introducing her to the tiger man, but he didn't say her name as he didn't know if Aiwai liked to tell it to foreigners. Aiwai seemed very pleased with Yale's introduction, so he sighed in relief.
The tiger man sweat in fear as he heard that the powerful woman was Yale's big sister, he had guessed it, but knowing it for sure scared him.
"With such sister, those words of my wife are enough to make her wipe out the whole city. Fortunately, she is already dead, or she would also insult Yale's big sister provoking an even bigger disaster to us."
At that moment, in the tiger man's mind, his wife's death was only a joyful matter; she had insulted the family of such powerful expert, so having died before she was discovered was better than suffering an endless torture by an expert while dragging the whole town with her.
"Big sis, that man's wife insulted us before."
Wyba said the words the tiger man wanted to hear the least. Fortunately, Wyba didn't blame the tiger girl, and she only spoke about her mother, Wyba was hoping that Aiwai would kill her for her previous offenses, but she didn't want that Aiwai murdered the tiger girl.
The tiger man had two options at that moment, defend the honor of his dead wife and try to apologize or become a shameless husband speaking badly about his dead wife and ask Wyba's sister for help. An expert at her level should have some good pills to treat injuries, and that was something the people in the town needed.
He also needed to choose between his pride and the benefits from swallowing it, but in his case, he swallowed it quickly, his dead wife wasn't valuable enough in front of the benefits he could obtain for everyone in the town.
