Elder brother's garrison

For some reason, seeing Xiaobai in this posture and being stared at by her made Sukhbaatar feel a jolt in his heart.

Xiao Bai's gaze did not linger on Sukhbaatar, but instead shifted to North Carolina.

Little White reached out and gently waved to North Carolina.

North Carolina trusted Little White unconditionally, and without any hesitation, she left Sukhbaatar's embrace and went to Little White's side.

Xiao Bai reached out and slowly pulled North Carolina's body in front of him, then cupped her face and kissed her rosy little mouth.

North Carolina was initially taken aback, not quite understanding the significance of Xiaobai's actions. However, she quickly felt strong, sparking energy flowing continuously from Xiaobai's mouth into her own, then down her throat and into her stomach.

"Glug." North Carolina swallowed softly, taking in the energy transmitted from Little White.

North Carolina is a ship girl lacking nutrients. The premature collapse of the construction device caused North Carolina to be expelled while it was still under construction. As a result, although North Carolina was lucky enough to have a human form, intelligence, rationality and a little bit of basic combat ability, malnutrition is malnutrition. Compared with powerful ship girls like Missouri, North Carolina is weak.

During the two weeks of training Missouri, Xiaobai tried to nurture North Carolina's spirit more than once, but it was to no avail. What North Carolina lacked was not the admiral network, but nourishment.

Now, the nutrients are available.

That was the purest Deep Sea Dean-level energy that Xiaobai had taken from the body of Deep Sea Yamato. It was pure and powerful. After Xiaobai filtered out the impurities, almost all of it was spat into North Carolina's mouth.

North Carolina swallowed unconsciously, her eyes closed, gulping down all the energy that Little White had given her. Only when Little White slowly released its mouth did North Carolina open its eyes, blushing, and stare at Little White shyly.

Then, Xiaobai lost consciousness and, like Yamato from the Deep Sea, silently collapsed to the ground.

North Carolina looked at Xiaobai curiously, about to say something, when she suddenly felt something wet on her face.

She reached out and touched her face, then looked at her hand.

Beneath the black, charred grime, lay a patch of blood red.

Only then did North Carolina and Sukhbaatar, who arrived later, see that Xiaobai's feet and hands were covered in burns from lightning, with red blood seeping through the charred wounds and flowing down Xiaobai's clothes onto the ground.

—In order to safely drain Deepsea Yamato and protect the lives of everyone present, including Deepsea Yamato, it seems that Shiro paid a considerable price.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The green grass gently brushed against Xiaobai's cheeks, and Xiaobai opened its eyes with some difficulty, looking up at the sky.

She was lying in the grass, her head resting on the lap of the Deep Sea Will. The Deep Sea Will was sitting beside her, looking down at her quietly.

"Ah... the will of the deep sea." Xiaobai gave a bitter smile to the will of the deep sea.

Xiaobai herself is very weak, and she is well aware of her own weakness, but it doesn't matter, since her daughter is the strongest being in the deep sea.

When Xiaobai was hit by the bombardment of the Deep Sea Yamato, he gave up his control over the ship's equipment and even his own body, surrendering everything to the will of the Deep Sea.

"Welcome back," the Deep Sea Will said calmly to Little White.

"Thank you." Xiaobai smiled at the Will of the Deep Sea.

"You're welcome." The Will of the Deep Sea raised its head and looked towards the other side of the sky.

Chapter 508 Fiery Red Lips

Just now, Xiaobai handed over control of her ship equipment and her body to the Deep Sea Will. The Deep Sea Will did not disappoint Xiaobai's expectations. As the true queen of the sea, she was indeed more skilled than anyone else in using the power of the Deep Sea Abomination.

After the various powers within Xiaobai's body were utilized by the will of the deep sea, the resulting effect was far more complex than simply one plus one equals two. In just a few seconds, he subdued the deep sea Yamato.

However, the price paid was certainly not small.

"I will absolutely not apologize." The Deep Sea Will did not look at Little White; she stared straight into the distance of the grassland and softly murmured these words.

A gentle breeze caressed my cheeks, and a few strands of red hair were lifted up among the tall green grass.

She was referring to the fact that she had ruined Xiaobai's health.

"Mmm. Thank you." Xiaobai felt the softness of the Deep Sea Will's thigh, raised her arm and looked at her hand.

In the spiritual world, Xiao Bai's body was perfectly fine, but in the real world, it was a different story. Xiao Bai vividly remembered how badly his hands had been burned.

However, that was the price the Deep Sea Will paid for helping him subdue Deep Sea Yamato, and Xiaobai knew that this was already the case with minimal damage.

Faced with this situation, Xiaobai simply gave a wry smile, then his expression became slightly serious for a few seconds without being noticed.

—I hope I won't have any scars in the future, I hope I won't have any scars in the future...

Xiao Bai prayed this very solemnly in his heart.

"Go back." Just as Xiaobai was praying in his heart, the Will of the Deep Sea gently patted Xiaobai's forehead.

In an instant, a cool sensation spread across Xiaobai's skin like flowing water, waking Xiaobai up from her previous listlessness.

Having the Deep Sea Will control one's body is not the same as having the Deep Sea Will control one's ship equipment. Even if Xiaobai absolutely trusts the Deep Sea Will and even if the Deep Sea Will has no ill intentions towards Xiaobai, borrowing a body is absolutely not something that can be done casually.

The will of the deep sea took over Xiaobai's body in an instant, but it would take a considerable amount of time to return it to Xiaobai. The act of returning the body was only completed when the will of the deep sea touched Xiaobai's forehead.

Xiaobai rolled over on the Deep Sea Will's lap, then propped herself up on the grass and sat up. Looking at the Deep Sea Will's aloof expression, she suddenly chuckled for some reason.

"Hey……"

"What are you laughing at?"

"Please don't close the door anymore, okay?" Xiaobai asked the Will of the Deep Sea.

"..." The Will of the Deep Sea seemed surprised that Xiaobai would ask such a question. She looked at Xiaobai quietly for a while before nodding almost imperceptibly: "Mm."

Seeing that the will of the deep sea promised not to hide in the spiritual world and prevent her from entering, Xiaobai felt a sense of relief, like her teenage daughter had finally grown up.

It's unclear why, but even though Xiaobai is still young, when he saw the Will of the Deep Sea nodding, he felt like he had aged several years.

"Hehehe..." Little White moved closer to the Deep Sea Will, hugged the Deep Sea Will's waist, and then pressed his whole body against the ground and laughed foolishly.

"It's time to go back," the Will of the Deep Sea repeated.

"Okay, I'll be back right away."

"Don't come in unless it's absolutely necessary," the Deep Sea Will said coldly.

"Hmm, I won't come in, I won't come in." Little White looked at the Will of the Deep Sea and smiled.

The Deep Sea Will raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she couldn't stand Xiaobai's smiling face. She reached out, placed her palm on Xiaobai's face, and then pushed her away forcefully.

As the world spun around them, the surrounding grassland scenery slowly disappeared, and the bright sky gradually darkened. The moon rose high, and waves of cool, damp air washed over Little White.

Xiao Bai was thus slapped back into the real world.

The first feeling upon returning to the real world was pain.

When Xiaobai opened her eyes, the first thing she felt was that her hands and feet were on fire, and waves of dry, burning pain reached her brain.

Fortunately, Xiaobai felt that although he didn't have any other special characteristics, his pain tolerance was quite high. Moreover, this kind of physical pain was nothing compared to when he started the Admiral Network back then.

"Lu Lin, you're awake?" Just as Xiao Bai returned to the real world and was staring blankly at the moon in the sky, Missouri's voice reached Xiao Bai's ears.

Little White turned her head and saw Missouri sitting beside her, her dignified and serene face red-rimmed with tears in her eyes as she looked at Little White lying on the ground.

"Oh, Missouri, good evening." Little White greeted Missouri, then struggled to sit up from the ground.

During the time Xiaobai was asleep in the spiritual world, his hands and feet were wrapped with layers of gauze, and from a distance, his palms looked like they were covered in bandages, bulging and swollen.

"Was it Missouri who treated my wound?" Xiaobai asked.

“Hmm.” Missouri’s eyes dimmed, and she seemed to feel very guilty for not being able to help Xiaobai. “This is all Missouri can do. I’m really sorry.”

"Missouri has already helped me a lot, hasn't she? None of us could have handled those deep-sea amphibious ships by the lake without you," Xiaobai said with a smile.

"If Missouri had been there when Dean Deepsea went berserk just now..."

“Don’t regret what you did before, little girls.” Just as Missouri was about to explain, Sukhbaatar slapped her hand on Missouri’s head and gave her an admiring smile. “I’ve seen something very interesting, little girl.”

"As long as Lord Su is happy." Xiao Bai smiled at Sukhbaatar.

"Humans are quite interesting, aren't they?"

"Ah, is that so?"

"Hmph, I've decided to stay in the human city a little longer and observe how you evolved into that form!" Sukhbaatar seemed particularly interested in Little White, but instead of asking Little White anything, she subtly pointed at it with her finger and spoke with anticipation.

Such a blatant hint might have been noticed by the perceptive Missouri under normal circumstances, but at this moment, Missouri was unusually in the lowest and most depressed state of her life, so she did not pay attention to the content of the conversation between the two people in front of her.

"It's wonderful that Lord Sukhothai is willing to stay in a human city." Xiaobai smiled at Sukhbaatar, then looked around. "By the way, what about North Carolina?"

"Behind you."

"Behind you?" Xiaobai was taken aback.

Just as Xiaobai was in a daze, a pair of warm hands reached out from behind her, gently put their arms around her shoulders, and pulled her into a warm embrace.

"Looking for me?" Xiaobai felt herself bumping straight into two soft, warm mounds of flesh, and then her long, white, feather-like hair wrapped around her like wings.

"Huh?" Xiaobai was stunned.

Then, the next second, a pair of long, crimson eyes met his with a gentle smile.

In Xiaobai's eyes, a mature and spirited older sister's face was quietly looking at him, her eyes full of tenderness and trust.

North Carolina has grown up.

—In fact, Xiaobai had a premonition when she touched the so-called fleshy ball.

Big, fleshy lumps like that don't exist in North Carolina kids.

North Carolina's child form is a simplified state that exists to conserve energy. It is a self-preservation behavior that North Carolina has adopted when it lacks nutrients. Therefore, in that state, North Carolina's combat power is not high.

Now that North Carolina has received the energy of the deep sea from the white-haired Yamato, and has gained ample nourishment, it is not impossible for it to evolve from simple lines to ultimate colors.

After all, the existence of ship girls is a miracle in itself.

"We've finally met, my Master." North Carolina said to Shiro with tender affection, just like when Shiro had cupped her cheeks before.

"Haha... Haven't we always been meeting up?"

"This is the first time we've met like this. To be honest, before, my mind was always foggy. I could only quietly look at you and listen to your voice. But now that I'm in this state, I finally have a sense of clarity, like I understand everything." North Carolina looked at Xiaobai, a slight blush rising on her handsome face. "Your kiss is unforgettable."

"Huh? Uh... um." Xiaobai paused for a moment before realizing that North Carolina was referring to the act of transferring energy to her mouth-to-mouth earlier. "You like it... that's great?"

Although the action was instructed by Xiaobai, the one who carried it out was the Deep Sea Will. The Deep Sea Will doesn't have any rules or regulations for its actions, and kissing is nothing to her.

“I, North Carolina, will forever obey you, my monarch, my princess. You pulled me out of the darkness; you are my light.” North Carolina looked tenderly at Little White. “North Carolina expresses its deepest gratitude to you.”

"Uh..." Xiaobai nodded somewhat embarrassedly, looking at the slightly awkward lines from North Carolina.

“So, speaking of which, my lord,” North Carolina said, sticking out the tip of her red tongue and gently licking her lips, “could we have that kiss again?”

"Huh???" Xiaobai was shocked.

"North Carolina hadn't evolved into this form back then, so the memory is a bit hazy. So, how about North Carolina asks to do it again?"

"Ah, no, that..."

Xiao Bai was surprised and wanted to refuse, but North Carolina gradually lowered her body with a strange sense of pressure.

In Xiaobai's vision, North Carolina's luscious red lips were slowly moving closer to his face.

Chapter 509 Time Flies

—To be honest, things are not looking good.

Xiaobai likes children, and it's okay for her to be a little close to them occasionally, such as holding hands, rubbing against them, or kissing them on the lips.

However, if it were to do this kind of thing with a mature, beautiful, and elegant older woman, Xiaobai really felt it was impossible.

No, you really can't do that. If you do it, Xiaobai feels like something inside her head will snap off, and she'll be on a path of no return.

If it were just a matter of touching lips or something, it would be fine; Xiaobai felt that it would be over in the blink of an eye.

But the burning gaze from North Carolina in front of Xiaobai told her that she had absolutely no intention of just touching lips; she wanted to have a French kiss with Xiaobai that lasted for more than ten minutes.

"No, you can only do this with someone you like." Xiaobai thought it wouldn't work.

So Little White turned his pleading gaze to Missouri and Sukhbaatar beside him.

Missouri looked down and saw Xiaobai's pleading eyes, but she didn't get up to stop him. She just looked at Xiaobai and North Carolina with envy.

It seems that the setback of not being able to help earlier has temporarily eroded Missouri's confidence, making her unable to even get up and stop North Carolina.

Needless to say, Sukhbaatar was staring intently at Little White with the look of someone who had spotted something amazing, practically ready to wave a glow stick and cheer from the sidelines.

Xiao Bai was left isolated and helpless.

In the blink of an eye, North Carolina's fiery red lips were right in front of him. Xiaobai swallowed hard, then closed his eyes as if resigned to his fate.

Then, North Carolina's lips came, but instead of biting Xiaobai's lips and giving her a passionate and intense kiss as she had imagined, she lightly pecked Xiaobai's forehead like a dragonfly skimming the water.

Little White opened its eyes and looked curiously at North Carolina in front of it.

After giving Little White a light peck on the forehead, North Carolina obediently withdrew her head, then looked at Little White's curious eyes and finally revealed a pure and lovely smile, just like that of the young North Carolina girl, Rainer.
