Just then, a slightly distorted vortex suddenly appeared above the Deep Sea Will's head.
Then a snow-white figure leaped out of the vortex and lunged at the deep-sea will below with outstretched arms.
"Deep Sea Will, no no no, this is bad!" Little White panicked as if its tail was on fire, and darted out of mid-air, only to crash down in front of the Deep Sea Will.
Boom! !
boom! ! !
Ding ding dong dong————
clatter clatter————
The thud was the sound of Xiaobai landing on the floor.
Bang! That was the sound of Deep Sea Will punching the TV that was playing Xiaobai's video.
The snacks and black tea that the Deep Sea Will had just prepared were scattered all over the floor.
"Deep Sea Will, Deep Sea Will, something terrible has happened! Something awful has occurred!" Little White, who had landed on the ground, clung to the Deep Sea Will like a clingy snail, pleading, "Deep Sea Will, please help me—"
"..." The Will of the Deep Sea pressed down on Little White's head, which kept leaning towards it, with one hand, and held the only cup of black tea that hadn't spilled on the ground with the other. While listening to Little White's pleas, it gently savored the aroma of the black tea and calmed its emotions.
"...What's wrong?" the Deep Sea Will asked Xiaobai, who was hugging her lower body and looking panicked as if it were the end of the world.
"It looks just like that outside! Deep Sea Will, didn't you share my memories...?" Xiaobai grasped the Deep Sea Will's hand that was pressing against her face, gently moved the Deep Sea Will's hand away, and then asked in a panic.
“…When I’m resting, there are periods when I don’t perceive your memories of being outside.” The Will of the Deep Sea withdrew its hand and gently snapped its fingers.
There was a snap.
The cake crumbs and cream stains all over Xiaobai's body, the spilled red tea and tableware all over the hall, and the TV set in the corner that the Deep Sea Will had destroyed instantly all vanished in an instant.
"Huh? Is that so?" Xiaobai was taken aback. "I thought you, Deep Sea Will, could know what was happening outside all the time..."
"That's basically it, but occasionally, I'll have about ten minutes to do what I want to do." The Deep Sea Will stared at Little White expressionlessly.
Xiao Bai shuddered instinctively.
Hmm, the Deep Sea Will seems a little lively today...
Xiao Bai stared at the indifferent face of the Deep Sea Will, which revealed nothing.
—It must be…my imagination…
Xiao Bai cautiously looked around the villa.
"Deep Sea Will, that you now...?"
"Didn't you say something big happened outside?" The Will of the Deep Sea interrupted Little White.
"Ah! Yes, yes!" Little White nodded quickly after being reminded by the will of the deep sea. "Outside! Something big has happened outside! Little Red and the others have become very... very dangerous, very strange!"
Xiao Bai's voice was filled with an indescribable emotion.
"..." The Deep Sea Will, holding the cup in one hand, tilted its head. "Little Red and the others are clones that grew from your spiritual power, using you as the soil. In a sense, you are the closest person to them in this world. They would never do anything that would be dangerous to you."
As the Deep Sea Will spoke, it seemed that it was also curious about the situation outside Xiao Bai's body. It snapped its fingers and conjured a brand new television set next to it, and then turned on the television.
The screen of the new TV flickered amidst a burst of static.
The scene then freezes on a cluster of beautiful, deep-sea giant phoenixes.
The television's perspective was clearly connected to the view "seen" by Xiaobai's body outside. On the television screen, a large number of deep-sea giant phoenixes were seen swarming over Xiaobai's body, breathing hot air and rubbing against it. The deep-sea giant phoenixes' faces were so beautiful they seemed to drip water. Besides the deep-sea giant phoenixes rubbing against Xiaobai's body, many others were lowering their heads, sticking out their small tongues, and carefully licking Xiaobai's body through his clothes, holding their palms with focused attention.
One glance.
The entire screen was filled with the swaying limbs of the deep-sea giant phoenixes.
It looks rather mesmerizing.
"..." The Will of the Deep Sea silently put down the teacup in its hand and looked at Little White who had collapsed beside it.
"Deep, Deep Sea Will... I, am I going to be eaten by the Little Reds like this..." Little White hugged the Deep Sea Will's waist, looking terrified and pitiful. "From the very beginning, the Little Reds suddenly surrounded me, and they hugged me and sniffed all over my body. It was itchy and I felt embarrassed... In the end, they even licked me... Look, look, they all treat me like food..."
"..."
"Hey? Why aren't you saying anything, Deep Sea Will? Help, help me!" Little White quickly jumped onto Deep Sea Will's body.
"...Let go." The Will of the Deep Sea slammed down on Little White's head.
"Deep...uh...uh..." Little White's mouth was also tightly covered by the Will of the Deep Sea, so that he couldn't make a sound.
"It's alright. I told you, you are the closest person to them in this world. They won't hurt you." The Will of the Deep Sea said, pressing down on Little White's head. "The situation outside is entirely your own fault."
"Huh? Huh?!" Little White, whose mouth was covered by the Will of the Deep Sea, looked completely bewildered when he heard the Will of the Deep Sea's explanation.
The Will of the Deep Sea released Little White's mouth, rubbed its forehead with a headache, and took a few steps back to sit on the sofa behind it.
“This situation was within my expectations,” the Deep Sea Will said to Little White. “So you don’t need to panic.”
The judgments made by the Deep Sea Will, a master of spiritual power, have never been wrong so far. Hearing the Deep Sea Will's comfort, even though Xiaobai was a little confused about what was happening in the outside world, his mood was at least calmed down a lot.
"Ah... then, Deep Sea Will, what did you mean by 'you only got what you deserved' just now..." Xiaobai patted his chest, looking puzzled.
"The literal meaning."
"Uh... but, but I've never bullied Xiaohong or the others..."
"..." The Deep Sea Will sighed almost imperceptibly. She looked up at Little White and said, "Little Red and the others are relatively new and don't have your memories like I do, so their experience is very limited. Simply put, they are very innocent and pure, and they don't know how to express their emotions properly."
"...?" Xiaobai tilted her head.
"This only happens because they like you a lot," Deep Sea Will said calmly. "Being able to contact you in the real world must be a very exciting thing for them. In such an excited state, it is very difficult for them to express and realize their feelings of love for you. It is normal that they will eventually realize these feelings through intimate physical contact."
"Huh? But this contradicts your statement that I brought this upon myself from the depths of the sea..."
"Who told you to pet the little red ones so much? Maybe they mistakenly thought that this kind of close contact was a way of expressing affection. What goes around comes around, and now it's your turn to be petted by those hundreds of little red ones outside."
977 Everything is negotiable at the dinner party
"Eh???" Little White stared, pointing at himself, "So it's my fault after all???"
"If you had spent some time teaching them to sing, dance, play basketball, or something, things might be much easier for them now." Deep Sea Will crossed his legs, propped his chin on his hand, and looked to the side, appearing completely detached.
"Uh... but, Little Red and the others don't usually act like this... Deep Sea Will, can't you stop them even a little bit...?"
“Your mental world is strong enough that the experience of interacting with you in person here is not much different from interacting with you in the real world. However, for the Little Reds, it is the first time in their lives that they have their own bodies and are interacting with you through their own will. The excitement and satisfaction they feel is incomparable to what they feel in the mental world. It is normal for them to lose their rationality for a short time. You should also be understanding of them.” The Deep Sea Will turned to look at Little White. “After all, they are just a group of babies who are only a few months old.”
"I..." Xiaobai lowered her head, looking distressed and unable to express herself. "What should I do now?"
"Wait here."
"……what?"
"Wait here."
"..." Xiaobai pointed to himself.
"They'll return to normal once they're satisfied." As the Deep Sea Will said this, a faint smile of pleasure appeared at the corner of its lips.
"Huh? What will happen to me then??"
"Don't worry, Xiaohong and the others are just a bunch of innocent and naive kids. Even if you let them do whatever they want to you, at most they'll just hug you, rub against you, smell you, and lick you. They won't do anything to hurt you—in a sense, you can think of them as a bunch of kittens." The Deep Sea Will swung its crossed legs in mid-air. "I've said it before, haven't I? They like you, that's all."
In any case, perhaps it was the unwavering trust in the Deep Sea Will, or perhaps it was simply the comforting words from the Deep Sea Will that struck a chord deep within me, that I could treat them like kittens.
According to the will of the deep sea, after viewing the group of deep-sea phoenixes that were rubbing and licking him in the real world as a group of meowing kittens, Xiaobai was surprisingly not worried anymore.
Seeing that Xiaobai had finally fallen silent, Deep Sea Will generously moved the new TV between himself and Xiaobai, sipping his red tea while tilting his head to look at the TV screen.
On the screen, the real-world Shiro is like a log covered in catnip, being affectionately rubbed and licked by a large group of deep-sea giant phoenixes.
For Xiaobai, it was quite embarrassing to see himself in the real world being rubbed by a bunch of kittens from a first-person perspective in the mental world. But it was indeed a way to get firsthand information about his situation in the real world. Xiaobai also wanted to know what was happening outside, and he couldn't let the Deep Sea Will just turn off the TV.
"Since we're just waiting anyway, would you like some cake?" Regardless of Xiaobai's feelings, Deep Sea Will was quite engrossed in watching TV. When she got to the point, Deep Sea Will stretched out her hand and conjured two cakes in the air, asking Xiaobai.
"Uh... thank you..." Xiaobai actually wanted to refuse, but when she saw that the cake conjured by the Deep Sea Will was exactly the flavor she liked, she awkwardly reached out and took a piece.
Xiao Bai felt that there was probably no one else in the world who had achieved the rare feat of watching a live stream of himself and other girls cuddling together while eating cake with his daughter.
Xiao Bai's gaze shifted from the television screen and gradually moved to the Will of the Deep Sea.
Deep Sea Will sat with his legs crossed, watching the TV screen, a smile involuntarily playing on his lips. The leg that was propped up in mid-air seemed to be swaying slightly as if it had spotted something interesting.
Xiaobai took a bite of the cake.
"...On another note."
"Ok?"
"Since Xiaohong and the others can also leave the spiritual world, can you, Deep Sea Will, also leave?" Xiaobai asked softly.
"What's wrong?" The Deep Sea Will paused, her leg that was propped up in mid-air. She tilted her head slightly, her eyes fixed on Little White's face with an unreadable expression.
"No, no..." Xiaobai's gaze drifted unconsciously before finally settling on the back of her hand. "It's just... if you, Deep Sea Will, could also go to the real world... I could take you to see Lexington and the others... and I could also take you to see my mom and dad... wouldn't that be great..."
"..." The will of the deep sea.
After Xiaobai finished speaking, neither of them spoke, remaining in that position for a short while.
After a while.
The will of the deep sea turned its gaze back to the television.
"……no."
"Huh? No?"
“I am different from those split entities. The core of your spiritual world was that tree. After I destroyed it, you were supposed to die. The reason you are alive now is because after I was absorbed by you and entered your spiritual world, my spiritual body and your spiritual world were deeply integrated. So I am different from Xiao Hong and the others. You and I are intertwined. I cannot leave, nor can I leave this place,” the Will of the Deep Sea said.
"……"noob.
The Will of the Deep Sea glanced back at the dejected Little White, rubbed his temples with a helpless expression, and put down his crossed legs.
"Never mind, it's pretty boring." The Will of the Deep Sea snapped its fingers lightly in front of Xiaobai.
There was a snap.
The snap of the Deep Sea Will echoed from her fingertips.
On the other side of the television screen, a large group of deep-sea giant phoenixes, who were lying on Xiaobai's body and whose beauty was dazzling, trembled all over. Then, their previously dazed eyes quickly cleared up, and one by one they slowly sat up from Xiaobai's body.
"Huh??" Xiaobai stared at the TV screen, suddenly looking bewildered. "Deep Sea Will, this, this is..."
"Are you tired of watching? You still have things to do, right? Anyway, I helped you wake up Xiaohong and the others a bit."
"Huh??? But Deep Sea Will, didn't you say you couldn't..."
"Think carefully, when did I say I couldn't help you stop them?" The Will of the Deep Sea smiled contentedly.
Xiao Bai blinked, her thoughts drifting back slightly.
"Ah!! You changed the subject when I asked this earlier!!" Xiaobai was taken aback.
"Who told you to be so easily distracted?"
"Why didn't you say so sooner, Deep Sea Will..." Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief, but inwardly he was also furious with Deep Sea Will.
"I just felt that for the sake of Xiaohong and the others' health, it was necessary to let them vent their pent-up emotions. But since you're so busy today, we can do it another day." Xiaobai couldn't refute Abyss Will's reasoning. "As the admiral, you know that holding it in all the time will make the ship girls sick."
"Uh...this..."
"Anyway, I've helped you wake them up this time, but their emotions haven't been fully released yet. After you bring them back to the naval base, I can't guarantee they won't do something like what happened today. You need to be careful." Deep Sea Will turned off the TV and waved at Little White with disdain. "You should go now."
"...Why do I always feel like Deep Sea Will doesn't like me staying by your side?"
"If you really want to come and keep me company, then pick a time when you're resting and have a proper day before you come."
"Uh...yes, I'm sorry..." Little White, having been hit where it hurt by the Deep Sea Will, shrank back and bowed deeply to the Deep Sea Will. "Then, then I'll find some time to come see you again..."
"Yes." The Will of the Deep Sea nodded.
Xiao Bai stood up, patted his clothes, and then glanced apologetically at the Will of the Deep Sea.
"Then I'm leaving..."
Deep Sea Will turned its back and gently touched the television screen.
Wait for the will of the deep sea to turn around again.
The little white figure behind the Deep Sea Will has disappeared.
"..." The Deep Sea Will's face remained expressionless.
The Will of the Deep Sea silently walked to where Little White had been, picked up a fork, gently cut a small piece from the half-eaten cake Little White had eaten, and put it into its own mouth.
A subtle sweetness spread through the mouth of the Deep Sea Will, transforming into waves of chocolate and cream aromas that lingered on the tip of the tongue.
