The Witch in Powered Armor

"Of course!"

"I know this request is a bit excessive. If it really won't work, I can pay..."

At that point, Sonia suddenly realized what she had heard, an incredulous look appearing on her face.

She had only been trying her luck.

Even she felt that this request was somewhat unreasonable.

After all, the other party had informed her a month ago, so she had plenty of time to find somewhere to live.

Who would have thought that the landlord of the place she had found would suddenly change his mind yesterday?

She could only give it a try.

"What!"

"You mean... you agreed?"

Wanda smiled and nodded.

"Of course. Not just for these next few days—you can stay here from now on!"

"My husband won't be staying here. By then, I'll be the only one left in this villa, so I actually hope you can stay!"

After hearing Wanda's words, Sonia hurriedly thanked her.

"Thank you!"

"But do you need to ask your husband for his opinion?"

Although Wanda had agreed, she did not want to cause conflict between the two of them because of this.

"Don't worry, my husband won't object!"

Even so, Wanda went upstairs and told Xu Mo about Sonia's situation.

"Of course I don't mind!"

Xu Mo said indifferently.

The people hired to watch over the house had all been selected after strict screening by the company.

Otherwise, running into some troublemaker would obviously be a huge hassle. Generally speaking, the character of those entrusted with watching the house would not be too bad, and that was the main reason Xu Mo agreed.

If it had been a stranger, he would have refused immediately.

Wanda happily rewarded Xu Mo.

"I knew you wouldn't refuse!"

Xu Mo casually wrapped an arm around her waist.

He felt it was still necessary to talk to her. Although kindness was a virtue, excessive kindness often brought disaster upon oneself.

"Darling, although helping others is a good thing, I hope you'll discuss this sort of matter with me first in the future!"

"I only felt comfortable letting Sonia stay because the company has detailed information on her. If she were a stranger, living under the same roof with her would be very dangerous!"

"It's very possible that she has some ulterior motive!"

After hearing Xu Mo's words, Wanda realized that she had been somewhat rash.

She immediately nodded.

"Mm, I understand. I won't do that again next time!"

Naturally, she understood that everything Xu Mo had said was for her safety.

Seeing her dejected expression, Xu Mo reached out and stroked her head.

"All right, just be more careful next time!"

"Come on, I'll show you something good!"

After going downstairs to greet Sonia, the two of them walked out of the villa.

After instructing the movers behind them to carry everything from the truck into the villa, Xu Mo drove the Ferrari with Wanda toward a lake not far away on the map.

Half an hour later, the car stopped at a secluded spot beside the lake.

After turning off the engine, Xu Mo lightly extended his right hand, and a red box appeared in it.

"Open it and take a look!"

Xu Mo handed the box to her.

A smile appeared on Wanda's face when she saw it.

"What is it? Why are you being so mysterious?"

As she spoke, she opened the box in her hand, revealing a diamond ring inside.

"Wow!"

Wanda covered her mouth, a delighted smile appearing on her face.

"What day is it today? Why are you giving me a ring?"

Xu Mo did not answer. Instead, he took the diamond ring from the box and put it on the ring finger of her left hand.

It replaced her original wedding ring.

Then, without another word, he pulled over her right hand and squeezed a drop of blood from the tip of her index finger onto the ring.

"Wait, this isn't some kind of Chinese witchcraft, is it?"

Having witnessed Xu Mo's string of strange actions, Wanda looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Of course not!"

Xu Mo glanced at her. How could she even think of that?

As the blood fell onto the ring, it absorbed it as though it were alive.

Seeing this, an incredulous expression appeared on Wanda's face.

But before she could question Xu Mo, she sensed an enormous space.

Because Wanda had not awakened, she could not project her spiritual power outward. To use the Storage Ring, she could only use this blood-binding method.

"Wait, what is this?"

In an instant, a blue suitcase appeared in Wanda's hand.

With a shift of her gaze, the suitcase disappeared from her hand again.

"Oh my God, this is incredible!"

For the next while, Wanda played with it to her heart's content.

In the end, she even placed her hand on the car. The next moment, the car vanished, and the two people sitting inside abruptly fell to the ground.

Since the Ferrari's seats were already very low, only a little over half a meter above the ground, Xu Mo did not react and simply let them fall onto the soft grass.

"Sorry!!"

Wanda hurriedly apologized.

Xu Mo waved his hand dismissively.

"Well? Do you like it?"

He shook the ring on his left hand.

"Of course. As long as it's something you gave me, I like it!"

Though clever enough not to ask where the ring had come from, she understood perfectly well how precious it was.

After hesitating for a moment, she stood on tiptoe, her face flushing red, and whispered a few words into Xu Mo's ear.

What she said immediately stirred up a fire in Xu Mo.

However, his efficiency in that particular area was far behind Kunzi's. If he used the same method as her to put out that fire, they would probably have to spend the night here.

He had not forgotten the main purpose of coming here today.

He had Wanda take the Powered Armor, which had transformed into a suitcase, out of the ring.

He guided her to press the index finger of her right hand onto a button in the center of the suitcase.

Less than two seconds later, a female voice came from the suitcase.

Owner identity bound. Activate Powered Armor?

After obtaining the Powered Armor, Xu Mo had first exchanged for a control system similar to JARVIS in the shop.

In the system, a control system that did not even qualify as semi-intelligent cost only three hundred points.

Following Wanda's command.

The Powered Armor instantly separated into pieces, then equipped itself onto Wanda's body in less than five seconds.

Completely encased in the Powered Armor, Wanda kept letting out cries of surprise.

More than ten minutes later, she finally calmed down under Xu Mo's reassurance.

For the next while, Wanda followed the control system's guidance and continuously practiced controlling the Powered Armor while flying through the sky.

At first, she either crashed into trees or plunged into the lake.

Fortunately, the Powered Armor provided full-body protection, so she did not suffer even the slightest injury.

Only after two hours did she gradually master the techniques of flight.

After controlling the Powered Armor to fly around a few times, Wanda landed in front of Xu Mo.

As the helmet opened, it revealed Wanda's face, flushed red with excitement.

"All right, it's getting late. We should head back!"

Hearing Xu Mo's words, Wanda reluctantly deactivated the Powered Armor. It transformed back into the form of a suitcase, which she stored in the Storage Ring.

"When you have time in the future, you can come here often to practice. That way, if you encounter any danger, you'll be able to protect yourself!"

Wanda moved forward emotionally and hugged Xu Mo.

"Thank you!"

After saying that, a strange smile appeared on Wanda's face.

The car that had vanished earlier reappeared beside them, and she opened the door and pushed Xu Mo inside.
