Elder brother's garrison

Xiao Bai walked up to Admiral Li Chu.

"Do you know how serious your crime is?" Xiaobai said.

"..." Admiral Li Chu looked dejected. "I know."

"If you like a girl, you should respect her thoughts and give her freedom," Xiaobai earnestly advised. "One-sided possession is wrong."

"...You're right." Admiral Li Chu's face remained ashen, showing no emotion.

"Sigh." Xiaobai shook his head. "Don't run away. I'll call the Admiral's Guild staff over in a bit. You'll have to stay in the Admiral's Guild's detention center until the military police arrive."

"Thank you for your fair judgment..."

"But I'm still a little curious, Admiral Li Chu." Xiao Bai looked around again and said to Admiral Li Chu, "Judging from the little nest you prepared for Miss Yingying, you must really like her and don't want her to suffer, right? Since the living supplies here are so plentiful, you probably didn't intend to hurt her right away... But why did Shenying and I see you two looking so disheveled when we came here?"

"..." Admiral Li Chu's gaze flickered. He looked up at Xiao Bai, his expression a mixture of self-reproach and sorrow. "Admiral Lu Lin... do you think love... can transcend gender?"

"Huh?" Xiaobai was stunned.

"Actually, I had a vague idea a long time ago that Miss Yingying..."

But before Xiaobai could finish listening...

The next second, a series of loud thumping footsteps rang out.

Luo Yingying rose up from behind Admiral Li Chu like a ghost. She gripped the wooden sticks from the corner of the table that were scattered on the ground with both hands, stomped her left foot hard on the ground, and twisted her body with all her might as if she were swinging a baseball bat. Her eyes were staring straight at her with an unstoppable coldness. Then, in front of Xiaobai, she slammed the stick hard into Admiral Li Chu's head.

Admiral Li Chu let out a scream.

Li Chu, the admiral, was sent flying by Luo Yingying's blow, landing some distance away. He pointed ahead, completely unconscious.

Luo Yingying spun around weakly before stopping. Then, clutching the wooden stick, as if she had escaped death, she bent over, panting heavily, looking at Admiral Li Chu's motionless back.

"……"noob.

Chapter 3530 After the Kidnapping

Seeing Admiral Li Chu's resigned expression as he tried to tell Xiao Bai the secret he had just learned, Luo Yingying, who had been standing there in a daze, suddenly felt a surge of energy welling up in her originally weak body. Her limbs, which had been numb from being tied up all day, were reborn in that instant, full of strength.

Before Admiral Li Chu could reveal his secret, Luo Yingying struck him hard on the head with lightning speed.

Looking at the back of Admiral Li Chu, who was lying unconscious in the distance, Luo Yingying finally felt relieved. Her heart pounded, her hands went limp again, and cold sweat poured down her back.

Just a little bit...

I almost died!

How dare this brat say anything to President Lu Lin!

Luo Yingying trembled with fear.

"Um... Miss Yingying?" Xiaobai bent down slightly, looking at Luo Yingying's cold sweat-drenched appearance with concern, and asked cautiously, "...Are you alright? Your breathing sounds very rapid..."

"President Lu Lin... I... I have a favor to ask!" Luo Yingying threw the wooden stick in her hand aside, then, as if she had made a decision, she turned her head very seriously and looked at Xiaobai with firm eyes, "I wonder if you could give me the authority to deal with this kidnapper!"

"Eh? Admiral Li Chu?"

"Yes!"

Xiao Bai slightly opened her mouth. She first looked at Admiral Li Chu, who was lying on the floor not far away, and then looked at Luo Yingying, whose eyes were so firm that it was as if she wanted to join the Party.

Xiao Bai thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Okay... if that's what you need."

"Thank you so much!" Luo Yingying breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Xiaobai to express her gratitude.

"I was just helping out..." Xiaobai waved her hand dismissively, but after a slight pause, she continued to Luo Yingying, "However... Miss Yingying, I still have to remind you. Our Admiral's Guild still has to follow legal procedures when detaining prisoners... I understand how you feel about hating the person who kidnapped you, but private acts of retaliation... just a little bit is enough, don't go too far. If the prisoner ends up missing an arm or a leg, it won't be easy for us to explain to the military police."

"President Lu Lin, you've misunderstood."

"Well, it's good that you're alright." Xiaobai smiled, put her hands behind her back, and said to Luo Yingying with a smile, "Since Admiral Li Chu has been handed over to you, I won't follow up on the rest. You should be able to handle it."

"Thank you for your trust, President Lu Lin!" When Luo Yingying heard Xiao Bai say that she wouldn't follow up, she felt as if she had been granted a pardon. Her eyes welled up with tears of gratitude, and she quickly straightened her back and bowed to Xiao Bai.

Luo Yingying has made up her mind.

Now that Admiral Li Chu has learned her secret, it seems he will never be able to enter this territory in Chapter Eight.

For my own safety and the safety of the ship girls, I must strictly prohibit Admiral Li Chu from meeting or talking with Admiral Lu Lin in any form...

Luo Yingying secretly pondered how to deal with Admiral Li Chu.

Since Xiaobai had already said she would leave it to Luo Yingying, she really had no reason to stay any longer. So Xiaobai smiled and waved goodbye to Luo Yingying and Shenying, saying, "Miss Yingying, and Shenying, now that things are settled here, I'll head back to the temporary garrison to rest. Oh, right, Miss Yingying, I'll give you another day off. You've been through a lot today, so you can rest well at home tomorrow. You don't need to come to work; I'll take care of your job."

"..." Luo Yingying was deep in thought with her head down and did not hear Xiaobai's words.

Xiao Bai glanced at it from the side, but didn't pay any attention. She just smiled slightly and turned to leave.

"President Lu Lin, let me see you off." Shen Ying quickly stepped forward and said to Xiao Bai as soon as she saw that Xiao Bai was about to leave.

"Miss Divine Eagle, you stay here to protect Miss Yingying. We're still in the enemy's stronghold." Xiaobai turned to Divine Eagle and smiled.

"No need." Shenying looked around, her expression shifting several times before she sighed and said to Xiaobai, "Admiral Lu Lin, I know what it's like for a ship girl to lose her will to fight... The ship girls here won't do anything anymore. Thanks to you for tonight's events, at least let me see you off."

"also."

Seeing that the Divine Eagle had come to this point, Xiao Bai naturally had no reason to refuse.

The Divine Eagle escorted Xiaobai away from Luo Yingying's room and across the hall.

In the hall, Admiral Li Chu's ship girls stood obediently on both sides, like a group of timid little girls, with their heads down and extremely well-behaved, not daring to look at Xiaobai and Shenying even once.

Shenying escorted Xiaobai out of the hall. Outside the hall was a small, temporary garrison town rented by Admiral Li Chu.

Outside the temporary garrison, the night was dark and the wind was strong. The deserted streets were swept by a cold wind.

"That's enough, Miss Divine Eagle, you can go back now," Little White said from outside the door.

"President Lu Lin, may you rest in peace." Shenying bowed to Xiaobai. "Thank you so much for today."

"It's alright, it's alright. I'm just happy that you're willing to seek my help when you encounter such difficulties," Xiaobai said with a smile. "Oh right, speaking of which... how did you know I was at the temporary garrison?"

“I went to the top floor of the Admiral’s Guild to look for you before… but although the lights were on and there were some machine sounds, no one answered the door,” Divine Eagle replied. “So I think you may have left when we weren’t looking.”

"I see." Xiaobai nodded.

It seems I'll have to ask Miss Yingying to help me contact a renovation team again to install a small device in my office that can alert me when someone knocks from afar.

But that's a matter for the future.

It's almost midnight, and all Xiaobai wants to do right now is go home.

After bidding farewell to the Divine Eagle, Xiaobai embarked on his journey home alone.

Chapter Eight: The city at night, the streets are deserted and desolate, with a cold wind howling through them.

This level of cold wind was far weaker than the sea breeze in the depths of the sea in Chapter Eight. Let alone being afraid, even with the protection of the land-based ship equipment, Xiao Bai didn't feel the slightest bit of cold while walking alone on the street. However, looking at the quiet scenery around her, Xiao Bai still instinctively rubbed her arms and hugged them, symbolically trying to make up for some of the delicate temperament of a young girl with her healthy and strong body that was warm in winter and cool in summer.

Back at the temporary garrison, Master Bai, who had worked hard all day, closed the heavy door and was about to return to the dormitory area to rest when, as she passed a small pond within the garrison, she saw a familiar, slender and voluptuous figure at the edge of the pond, which was full of lotus flowers.

Under the moonlight, the familiar figure, dressed in a short jacket, sat quietly on the bricks by the pond, gazing at the lotus pond. From Xiao Bai's perspective, this unusual outfit was even more revealing than usual. Except for a few key areas, most of her skin was exposed under the cover of darkness. Her long, smooth, light yellow hair was parted into two neat sections, framing her full, tall, and mature body. Her signature long legs were crossed lightly, and her fair skin was covered by sheer black silk. A pair of brown denim high heels that she had taken off were placed diagonally on the bricks beside her.

Xiao Bai stopped and looked at his figure in the moonlight.

"Montana?" Xiaobai called out subconsciously.

"...Hmm?" The ship girl whose name was called leaned back and raised her head. She looked up at Shiro with a surprised expression. "Oh...isn't this the Admiral? It's quite a coincidence to see the Admiral at this time."

As Montana finished speaking, he waved to Little White and grinned, showing off his white teeth.

“That’s what I’m saying…” Xiaobai echoed and stepped forward. She looked at Montana’s current attire and asked curiously, “Hmm… is this your casual wear?”

“Yeah, it’s at home, and it’s late at night, so I can dress casually.” Montana grinned, her body swaying noticeably with her movements. “It’s a pity there’s no farmland in this temporary garrison, otherwise this outfit would be very convenient for farm work.”

"Um...you can farm too?"

“What, do I not look like a farmer?” Montana said, making a grasping gesture in the air. Golden flames burned from her body, gathered in her palm, and finally transformed into a pair of golden shovels and a pickaxe. “Don’t let my appearance fool you. Even if you asked me to manage a farm right now, Admiral, I could manage everything perfectly.”

"As expected of you." Xiaobai nodded, then continued, "What are you doing here so late?"

"Hey, I couldn't sleep at night, so I came out for some fresh air." Montana let go of her hand, and the shovel and manuscript in her hand turned into flames and disappeared. She said with a smile.

Xiao Bai looked at Montana and blinked.

"You...have insomnia?"

"That's it."

"..."

"Admiral, is it just my imagination? Why do I feel like you're looking at me with a hint of schadenfreude?"

“It’s an illusion, it must be an illusion.” Xiaobai walked over to Montana and sat down. She smiled at Montana and asked, “What’s causing your insomnia? Is it because you’re not used to life here, or is something on your mind? Tell me about it.”

"I just chatted with my sisters too late and couldn't sleep," Montana shrugged, took out her phone, and said to Xiaobai.

"Oh, okay." Xiaobai suddenly felt bored and got up.

"Is the Admiral going back to rest now?"

"Yes."

"Admiral, what were you doing up so late?"

"Build a new deep-sea base for the naval base, and incidentally rescue a capable subordinate who has been kidnapped."

"Haha, Admiral, your life is so exciting!" Upon hearing this, Montana immediately clutched his fair, flat belly and giggled.

Chapter 3531 Work is Here

It's not that Montana is making fun of Xiaobai; Xiaobai himself genuinely feels that his life is quite colorful.

"Alright, I'm going to sleep now. If you're interested, you can take a look around the Admiral's Guild's office hall these next couple of days... although I don't think you'll need it." Xiaobai waved to Montana and said, "As for the Deep Sea Base... once it's all set up, you can look me up if you want to visit it."

“Yes, thank you, Admiral.” Montana nodded.

Xiao Bai lowered his hand and prepared to leave the pond.

Montana looked at Little White, and suddenly, as if she had remembered something, she spoke to Little White.

"Oh, right, Admiral."

"Hmm?" Xiaobai turned his head to look at Montana.

"When you came back before, Admiral, wasn't there a very exciting competition held at the training ground?" Montana said with a smile. "I saw it too, it was a truly exhilarating battle."

"Thank you for the compliment?"

"Sent from emotion."

"...Speaking of which, I didn't see you come out that day either." Little White asked Montana, "What, when the Iowa-class and Veneto-class were fighting back and forth, and a winner was finally decided, why didn't I see you run out to join the battle...Aren't you usually the one who likes to get involved in these kinds of exciting occasions?"

“Admiral, what do you take me for?” Montana smiled, propping her chin up with one hand and turning her gaze back to the pond. “The scene was so lively back then, I wouldn’t want to come out and spoil everyone’s fun.”

"……after all."

"If I come out, what will they still fight for?"

Montana looked at the pond and smiled faintly, as if he were talking about something trivial.

His speech was as confident, clear, and powerful as ever.

Xiao Bai looked at Montana's back, his gaze sweeping over her almost completely exposed back, and nodded.

However, this statement wouldn't seem inappropriate if applied to Montana.

After all, Montana's strength is indeed significantly higher than other ship girls. Among the ship girls and deep-sea characters that Xiaobai has seen so far, only Frederick the Great can fight her face-to-face normally.

"Montana, I really have to go now."

"Hmm... It's rare to run into you so late at night. Admiral, would you like to keep something as a souvenir before you leave?" Montana asked Xiaobai with a bright smile.

"What commemoration?"

“Admiral, ever since you saw me, your eyes have been wandering all over my body. How about you touch me a couple of times before you leave?” Montana straightened his chest, made a hugging gesture towards Xiaobai, and said with a smile, “I don’t mind, after all, you’re the admiral.”

"Cough cough cough..."

Little White blushed deeply at Montana's cheerful words, her face turning bright red.

You definitely can't touch it.

Although Xiaobai was indeed a little tempted, she also had to save face.

After saying goodbye to Montana, Xiaobai returned to his dormitory building, went back to his own room, and snuggled into his warm bed.

Fortunately, Xiaobai wasn't lonely in bed, because the bed was filled with the rich fragrance of osmanthus.
