Elder brother's garrison

"I...I'm not joking with you. What exactly...did you do to her?" Akagi Fukami stared at Shiro with her red eyes, her gaze filled with hatred, threatening her, "If you have harmed her...although I cannot defeat you now, even in death...I will become a vengeful ghost and haunt you until the end of the world!"

At this moment, Akagi was like a mother beast protecting her cubs. She knew she was facing an invincible enemy, but for the sake of the people she wanted to protect, she could only bluff as much as possible to fight for a sliver of hope.

Seeing Akagi's frantic state, Shiro quickly suppressed his smile.

"Okay, okay, it was my fault just now. I won't joke around anymore." Xiaobai reached into her pocket, pulled out a blue talisman, and handed it to Deep Sea Akagi. "Look, do you recognize this?"

Akagi's panting paused for a moment after seeing the talisman that Xiaobai had taken out.

next second.

The crisp sound of iron chains rang out.

Deep Sea Akagi swiftly raised her chained arm and snatched the talisman back from Xiaobai's hand.

Deep Sea Akagi held the talisman in her hands, her head bowed as she carefully examined the runes on it.

“This is… that child’s talisman.” As she observed, Akagi’s emotions gradually stabilized, and she murmured softly.

"Yes, she's the one who sent me to find you," Xiaobai nodded.

"..." Akagi Fukami raised her head, her expression gradually returning to normal.

"What's wrong? You still don't believe me?" Xiaobai asked.

“…No.” Akagi Fukami squeezed the talisman in her hand, sighed softly, and shook her head slightly. Then she looked at Shiro with a complicated gaze. “That child’s talisman is made of pure spiritual power and ship equipment power. In other words, if it is not recognized by her, it will quickly turn into powder and dissipate once it is taken from her. At least… judging from the state of this talisman, you have indeed gained her trust, and she is not in any danger.”

"Really? I picked this up from her feet." Xiaobai smiled at Deep Sea Akagi, then opened her ship equipment space to her surprise and took out a pack of tissues.

"You are... a ship girl?" Akagi frowned.

“No, I am human,” Xiaobai replied, handing a napkin to Shenhai Akagi.

"?" Akagi Akagi was confused.

"You just bit your lip and it bled." Xiaobai pointed to the corner of his mouth. "Sorry, I was just trying to lighten the mood with a joke, but I didn't expect you to take Deepsea Kaga so seriously..."

Only then did Akagi notice that a stream of black blood was flowing from the corner of her mouth. The black blood had dripped down her chin onto her fair thighs, blooming into small, distinct black dots on the bright red cherry blossom-patterned skin.

Looking at the blood on her leg, a trace of melancholy flashed in her crimson eyes. Then, she silently took the tissue from Xiaobai and wiped her mouth.

"Did she send you to find me?" Akagi asked.

“Yes, she’s very worried about you.” Xiaobai looked at Akagi’s thigh and nodded. “After all, it’s your first time in the human world, and you’ve lost your ship’s power. She’s worried about whether you can eat well, whether you have a place to stay, or… whether you’ll be kidnapped by people who want your looks and taste.”

"..." Akagi Fukami lowered her head and did not answer.

Although Akagi didn't say anything, seeing her bound to the bed with several chains, there was probably no need to explain anything.

The life of Akagi in human society must be quite terrible.

"That's heavy, isn't it?" Xiaobai pointed to the shackles on Shenhai Chicheng's wrists and ankles.

"Mm," Akagi replied.

"Let me help you unlock it," Xiaobai said, picking up the key she had snatched from the Pope and shaking it like a trophy. "I have the key."

The Pope's jeweled keychain has several keys of different sizes. The largest key is used to open the hidden door to the statue in the hall, while the slightly smaller key is used to open the iron bars that imprisoned the Deep Sea Akagi. In addition to these two, there are four other small keys scattered around the keychain, which are also jeweled.

It's obvious that these four small keys are used to unlock the shackles on Akagi's body.

Xiao Bai picked up one of the keys and gestured for Deep Sea Akagi to hand over the shackles.

Deep Sea Akagi hesitated for a moment, looked down at the blue talisman in her hand, and finally slowly stretched out her arms.

"Speaking of which, Deep Sea Akagi, haven't you never been to human society before? How come you speak such fluent Mandarin?" Xiaobai asked casually as he unlocked Deep Sea Akagi's shackles.

“I learned it now.”

"How long did it take?"

"About a month."

"That's incredible," Xiaobai said, praising the student, but her tone remained quite calm.

There was a click.

The shackles on Akagi's hands were removed, and the heavy shackles slammed onto the bed with a dull thud.

Akagi, as if from another world, withdrew her arm, feeling the light weight on it, her crimson eyes flickering slightly.

"Why did you attack me just now?" Xiaobai gently traced the shackles on Akagi's white thighs with her fingertips, slowly beginning the next round of unlocking.

"..." Akagi looked down at the little white thing that had unlocked the door for her. She pondered for a moment and then softly replied, "...Revenge."

"revenge?"

"Yes, revenge."

"Kill me?"

"To be precise, I would rather kill that man," Akagi Fukami said slowly, her voice devoid of any emotion, as cold as the deep sea. "I have been waiting for him to open this cage and come close to me, so that I can strangle him just like I did with you, and then... strangle him to death."

Doesn't he usually open the iron fence?

“It’s never opened,” Akagi Fukami said. “Even when food and water are delivered, it’s done by extending it in through a bamboo pole.”

"...I was afraid you didn't know, so I'll tell you something." Xiaobai stopped what she was doing and said to Shenhai Chicheng, "This is a secret passage. Only that man knew about this place before. If he dies, no one will bring you water and food, and you might starve to death here."

"Ah."

Akagi looked at Shiro and suddenly smiled, her expression radiant, like a beautiful flower.

"Of course I know about this."

Chapter 2385 Transactions, and Transactions

Deep Sea Akagi had long since given up on living.

Long before she was captured by humans who coveted her and imprisoned in a secret room, bound by heavy shackles and confined to a bed... or, long before Akagi lost her Abyssal ship equipment and degenerated from an Abyssal dean into a human, she no longer wanted to live.

But not wanting to live doesn't mean wanting to die.

The deep-sea akagi still retains the dignity and pride of its former status as the king of the sea.

Even though this pride has now been trampled underfoot by the humans she once despised, Akagi of the Deep Sea will never allow herself to die in vain in the cage that humans have built for her—at least, she must take revenge before she dies.

Deep Sea Akagi had planned it all along.

Once the man who imprisoned her entered the iron bars, she would draw his attention, and when he lowered his guard, she would take out the chains that bound her and strangle him to death in her arms—even if such an act meant that no one would bring her water or food anymore, and she would starve and thirst to death on this bed, waiting for time to drain the cells from her body, waiting for darkness to devour her weakened consciousness. Since its formation, Akagi's idea had never wavered in the slightest.

Deep Sea Akagi had long planned to exchange herself for the person who imprisoned her.

But the Pope is also an extremely cautious person.

Even when facing a woman who was completely defenseless, the Pope never made direct contact with her.

Each time they met, the Pope would stand far away outside the iron fence. He would only use a long bamboo pole to receive a handkerchief imbued with the scent of the deep sea and red sandalwood, then respectfully offer food and water before quickly leaving, never lingering in this space for even a second longer.

Deep Sea Akagi had spent countless hours waiting for this opportunity. In the prison, she acted quietly and weakly, doing everything to hide the surging killing intent in her heart. However, this killing intent could not be released due to the Pope's actions. Soon, with each one-for-one plan failing, the surging killing intent had nowhere to be released, and Deep Sea Akagi felt only endless pain and torment.

Gradually, Akagi felt that she could not hold on any longer.

The pride that once belonged to the Dean of the Deep Sea is now relentlessly gnawing at Deep Sea Akagi's self-esteem, making every breath and every heartbeat accompanied by intense humiliation. Whenever she thinks about becoming a prisoner of humans, a plaything for them to admire, this humiliation is like a knife cutting into Deep Sea Akagi's heart, making her wish she could strangle herself to death.

Deep Sea Akagi really wants to end all of this.

So when Xiaobai found Shenhai Akagi and opened the iron bars that bound her, even though the person in front of her was not the man who imprisoned her, Shenhai Akagi still reached out her poisonous hand to Xiaobai in a trance.

"Crack!"

With a crisp click of the mechanism, the heavy shackles were released from Akagi's feet.

Akagi stretched out her legs, staring blankly at her light feet, seemingly still unable to believe that she had gained freedom.

"To be honest... when I first heard that you wanted to take me away from here, I thought you were just another group of humans who coveted me," Akagi murmured. "My fate would simply be to move from this cell to another brand new cell that you built."

"You didn't expect that, did you? I really came to save you." Xiaobai smiled at Shenhai Chicheng.

"...What price did that child pay?" Akagi looked at Shiro in a daze.

"Hmm? What's the price?"

"Since she was able to persuade you to come looking for me, what price did she pay?" Akagi asked softly.

“Hmm…” After hearing what Akagi said, Xiaobai thought about it seriously for a while and shook her head, “As for the reward this time… I don’t think I have talked to her about it yet.”

"You mean, you didn't even reach an agreement with her before you impulsively decided to help her find me?" Akagi's expression turned slightly cold. "Human, although I am very grateful to you for saving me, there is a limit to jokes."

"We really didn't talk about it." Xiaobai waved her hand with a smile.

"Then tell me, why?" Akagi asked, puzzled. "Why would you, as a human, help a deep-sea being?"

"That's a long story." Xiaobai thought for a while and said uncertainly, "As for why I would help Shenhai Kaga without hesitation... let me think... um... it's probably because I already have a good impression of your Dean Shenhai, plus Shenhai Kaga is very beautiful?"

Xiaobai said this to Shenhai Akagi uncertainly.

Akagi from the Deep Sea stood there, eyes wide open, stunned.

"You mean... you chose to help that child find a concubine because of his appearance?"

"I was just helping out when I saw injustice," Xiaobai said to Shenhai Akagi, slowly getting up from the bed. "But, of course, I still have to get paid. Shenhai Kaga said she'd do anything for me if I brought you back... I'm really looking forward to what she'll give me... Alright, now that you're out of your shackles, it's about time you came out with me. Shenhai Kaga is waiting for us outside..."

Little White was about to jump off the bed.

Suddenly, a pair of icy hands grabbed Xiaobai's wrist.

Xiaobai stopped what she was doing and turned around to look behind her.

All that could be seen was Akagi gripping her hands tightly.

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Xiaobai tried to shake off Shenhai Chicheng's hand, but even after she shook it twice, Shenhai Chicheng still held her wrist firmly.

"..." Akagi didn't speak; her red eyes were fixed on Shiro.

then.

A few seconds passed.

Akagi suddenly gave Shiro a... somber smile.

"Deep Sea Akagi?" Xiaobai looked at Deep Sea Akagi in surprise.

"Don't go yet."

Deep Sea Akagi shook her head. She slowly sat up from the bed, gently took Xiaobai's hand, and made her sit in front of her.

Akagi reached out and gently touched Shiro's cheek.

Xiao Bai hid behind her.

But Akagi from the Deep Sea moved even closer, slowly stretching out her arms and pulling Shiro into her embrace.

"Huh? Deep Sea Akagi?" Xiaobai exclaimed in surprise.

Xiaobai didn't quite understand Akagi's reason for acting this way. She was about to slip away to ask when, in the next second, Akagi stepped forward with her chest out. The milky white color magnified in Xiaobai's eyes, and the fragrant aroma wafted over like an open garden. A soft, silky, cool touch lingered on Xiaobai's face, as if it possessed a captivating and magical power, instantly making Xiaobai lose the will to leave.

what……

I feel so happy.

Little White instantly collapsed into the embrace of Deep Sea Red City.

"You are so warm." Akagi held Shiro in her arms and whispered in Shiro's ear, "I was originally... a dying person. Since you saved me, I should at least show my gratitude."

"..." Little White lay on Deep Sea Akagi's body, her consciousness blurred.

"Do I smell good?" Akagi asked quietly, holding Shiro.

"……Um."

Xiao Bai answered instinctively.

"You humans seem to all crave my scent, this scent... is the source of depravity. It seems that even just a whiff of it would make countless people willingly abandon their families and children, even their vast fortunes," Akagi said slowly, holding Shiro. "But if you don't mind... from now on, I will be yours, and you can enjoy my body as you please. How about it?"

"……ah……?"

"My scent, my fragrance, my skin..." Akagi lowered her head, gently placing her palm on Shiro's, then guiding Shiro to caress her waist, and then down her long, white legs. "This waist, these legs... this body, this heart... everything, I give it all to you, how about it?"

"...Is it...okay...?"

Xiao Bai was somewhat dazed by the scent of Deep Sea Akagi.

"I would never lie," Akagi whispered in Shiro's ear. "If you want me, all you have to do is... nod and say 'I do'..."

"Okay...yes...yay!"

"Our deal is now complete." A hint of relief flashed in Akagi's eyes. She closed her eyes, hugged Shiro tightly, and lowered her head to Shiro's neck. "Please remember... I... have given myself to you as a reward for saving me."
