"You mean... you want me to devour Miss Luming's ship equipment energy?" Xiaobai perked up immediately at the mention of food.

"Yes."

"Won't this be dangerous?" Xiaobai asked.

“Hmm…we definitely need to be more careful.” The female hearth thought for a moment and said to Little White, “Removing energy from Shropshire’s body will harm her, but if we think about it from another angle, as long as we avoid the process of removing the energy and keep it inside her body, we can directly absorb all of Shropshire’s energy. Then this energy will not pass through her body, but will go directly into your stomach, Admiral.”

Chapter 2461 Bloodstained Tooth Marks

"So that's how it is..." Little White listened to the Goddess of the Hearth's method, considering its feasibility. "It seems... um... it seems like we can give it a try... I just don't know if it will succeed..."

"Don't worry, Admiral, we'll definitely succeed." The Vesta gave Xiaobai a reassuring look. "If you ask why, well, ever since I first learned that your ship equipment ability is Devouring, I've been considering the feasibility of this!"

"So early!"

"of course!"

"..."

Xiao Bai and the female Kitchen Goddess exchanged words, openly exposing their conversation to the air.

Sitting in the chair, Lu Ming stared wide-eyed at the conversation between the two girls in front of her. She blinked, as if she were in a daze.

Lu Ming overheard the entire conversation between Xiao Bai and the female Kitchen God.

As a result, Lu Ming learned many things that exceeded her imagination and worldview—for example, Xiao Bai's family actually had more than just two Abyssal Deans, Abyssal Kaga and Abyssal Akagi, including the ship girls she sent to human society to participate in the star project, all of whom were Abyssal Deans themselves. In addition, Xiao Bai herself, as a human admiral, possessed ship equipment, which was Abyssal Dean ship equipment, and so on and so forth...

Admiral Lu Lin... is she a ship girl admiral or an abyssal admiral?

After overhearing the conversation between Xiaobai and the female Stove Goddess, this thought flashed through Lu Ming's mind.

But just as Admiral Shikamei was deeply shocked and unable to control himself, Yubari, who had been squatting behind Shikamei fiddling with the machines on the ground, finally wiped the sweat from his brow and stood up.

"Admiral, it's all done!"

Yubari, holding a thick stack of experimental papers, shouted towards Shiro and the Vesta Goddess.

Xiao Bai and the Kitchen Goddess stopped their conversation and looked over.

"Huh? What was Yubari doing just now?" Shiro noticed the thick stack of papers in Yubari's hand and couldn't help but ask.

"Hmph, before coming to Cloud City, the Vessel Goddess told me about her plan." Yubari stepped over the slowly arranged probe lines on the ground, carrying the papers in his hand, and came to Shiro. "So I was just using the probe to find the energy gathering point in Miss Shikamaru's body."

Oh... when Yubari addresses Shikame, she seems to prefer calling her by her human name.

Shiro looked at Yubari and nodded thoughtfully.

That makes sense. Yubari seems to be a fan of Shikame's movies and TV shows, so it's understandable that she prefers to call Shikame by her human name when she's in person.

"So the energy of ship girls can be detected?" Shiro stood up and leaned closer to Yubari to look at the experimental papers in her hand.

“With human technology, it’s impossible to detect the existence of shipboard energy,” Yubari shook his head. “However, if we detect the phasor tendency of bioelectric currents, we can determine the location of the shipboard energy. After all, where shipboard energy converges, the movement of positive and negative charges in the bioelectric currents will inevitably show an abnormal shift. So, as long as we detect the movement of charges in the bioelectric currents and the shift in the magnetic field, collect at least three areas where abnormal deflection occurs, and then apply a certain method to calculate, we can calculate the final location where the shipboard energy converges. Oh, by the way, I highly recommend using this method when calculating this type of problem…”

Yubari seems to have a tendency to start talking and then not stop.

Shiro was a little confused by what Yubari said next.

Seeing that Shiro's eyes were starting to swirl, Yubari realized that she had gone off-topic again. She smiled sheepishly and then handed the experimental paper to Shiro.

"In short, the specific process and final conclusion are all written in there. I have checked it more than a dozen times, and it can't be wrong."

"Oh, thank you, thank you..." Xiaobai quickly accepted the gift with both hands.

Xiao Bai flipped through the lab report in his hand. The first and middle sections were filled with calculations and symbols that he couldn't understand. He flipped to the last page in one go and finally saw something he could understand.

The last page of the lab report was a human scan of Lu Ming.

On the human body scan, several parts of Lu Ming's body were marked in red.

"Are these marked red areas where the ship's equipment energy is concentrated?" Xiaobai asked Yubari, pointing to the scanned image on the last page.

“That’s right.” Yubari nodded.

"I see..." Xiaobai lowered her head, memorized the scan image, then closed the lab report and let out a long sigh of relief. "I understand..."

Shiro stood up and returned the lab report to Yubari.

Then, under Lu Ming's watchful gaze, Xiao Bai slowly walked up to her.

“Miss Luming, you heard my conversation with the goddess of the hearth and Yubari, right?” Xiaobai said to Luming.

"..." Lu Ming blinked, then nodded blankly.

"In short, we have a way to save you, but it might be different from any medical treatment you've ever had before," Xiaobai said apologetically to Luming. "You might find the process a little difficult to accept, so Miss Luming, are you willing to trust us?"

"..." Lu Ming looked at Xiao Bai with complicated emotions.

Lu Ming's mind was in a bit of a mess at this moment.

Because she had just received far too much information that was beyond her comprehension.

After all, Luming was once a ship girl.

The secret that Xiaobai just revealed is more like that of a Deep Sea Admiral.

But looking into Xiaobai's sincere gaze, Luming couldn't bring himself to run away for a moment.

Lu Ming just stared at Xiao Bai in silence, then couldn't help but glance up at the female hearth goddess behind Xiao Bai, before silently shifting his gaze to Mutsu, who was separated by a wall.

Finally, Lu Ming seemed to have figured something out, and she nodded to Xiao Bai.

"……I trust you."

"That's great." Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Luming. Xiaobai then turned to the Goddess of the Hearth, "So, Goddess of the Hearth, how can I absorb the energy from Miss Luming's body?"

"How would I know that..." The goddess of the hearth looked speechless. "The ability to devour is your ability, Admiral, not mine..."

“Uh…” Xiaobai scratched his cheek and looked at Luming.

Taking the opportunity, Yubari stepped forward and gently helped Shikano remove the detectors that were stuck all over his body, then made room for Shiro to sit down.

Lu Ming sat quietly in his seat, staring straight at Xiao Bai.

Looking at Lu Ming's posture, Xiao Bai thought for a while, her gaze somewhat conflicted.

Xiao Bai had only just learned that his ship equipment ability was absorption, and as for how to use this ability, he couldn't really summarize any experience for the time being. Xiao Bai carefully recalled the scenes of absorbing abilities from the bodies of the Deep Sea Deans in the past, and it seemed that in most cases he directly ate their Deep Sea metal or Deep Sea ship equipment fragments to complete the absorption.

But... Miss Luming doesn't have any deep-sea metal either...

Even if I were to absorb Miss Luming's energy, how would I even begin...?

Xiao Bai stood in front of Lu Ming, looking somewhat troubled, for a while. Suddenly, a scene flashed through his mind.

During the period of discontinuity in dating.

Next to the lake.

Deep Sea Yamato was pinned down by himself, and he was sucking on the little horn on his forehead.

Ok……

As Xiao Bai thought of this, her eyes rippled with emotion.

Speaking of which, the Deep Sea Will used to control my body to absorb Yamato's energy... At the time, I thought it was the Deep Sea Will's ability, but now that I think about it, could this ability actually be mine?

If you suck or bite with your mouth, can you absorb energy?

Xiaobai recalled the experiment report that Yubari had given him earlier.

Lu Ming has three points of concentrated ship equipment energy on his body: his neck, left arm, and right thigh.

Xiao Bai swallowed hard, then carefully squatted down and sat in front of Lu Ming's legs.

Lu Ming, sitting on the chair, curiously lowered his head and looked at Xiao Bai, who was sitting on the floor.

"Miss Luming, I...I'll lift your skirt up." Xiaobai reached out and placed her hand on Luming's thigh, who was wearing a skirt, and asked her tentatively.

Lu Ming was taken aback, but seeing Xiao Bai's sincere expression, she hesitated for a moment before nodding.

With the person's tacit permission, Xiaobai gently pushed up Luming's skirt.

Xiao Bai leaned closer to Lu Ming's legs.

Xiao Bai lowered her head and gently pressed her lips to Lu Ming's thigh.

A gentle touch soon came to my lips.

The goddess of the hearth once said that activating ship equipment abilities is an instinct as natural as breathing for the ability holder. The holder of ship equipment abilities does not need to think about how to activate the ability; as long as the thought flashes through their mind, their body will automatically take action to activate the ability.

In other words, in most cases, the holder of ship equipment capabilities does not need to learn how to activate the capabilities.

This sentence is correct.

The moment Xiaobai came into contact with the deer's cry, thinking of absorbing the deer's energy, Xiaobai instinctively opened its mouth, revealed its teeth, and gently bit down.

The teeth sank into the skin, and a large amount of blood gushed out of Xiaobai's mouth at that moment.

"Um……"

Lu Ming trembled slightly and closed his eyes in pain.

Blood flowed into Xiaobai's mouth, bringing a sweet, rusty taste. Xiaobai remained lying on Luming's lap, gulping down the flowing blood.

A trickle of blood flowed from Luming's leg and Xiaobai's mouth, dripping onto the floor.

In the quiet air, only the "sizzling" sucking sound was playing on repeat.

The whole thing lasted ten minutes.

The blood from Lu Ming's leg had stained Xiao Bai's clothes. Half of Lu Ming's leg was covered in blood, and even the floor beneath her had a small pool of dark red blood.

Lu Ming's mind was gradually becoming blurred due to the loss of blood. She gently pressed Xiao Bai's head, but did not try to push Xiao Bai away. She simply tried to maintain the original position and cooperate with Xiao Bai's actions.

at last.

Little White, who had been biting Lu Ming's leg, released its grip and slumped back onto the floor.

Open your mouth.

A deep, bloody tooth mark was left on his thigh.

Chapter 2462 Absorbing Energy

The bloody teeth marks were located on the upper part of Lu Ming's thigh. Although the wound was quite obvious, it could be easily covered by lowering her skirt.

Even so, the amount of blood lost from Lu Ming's body during the previous actions had reached a dangerous level. As Xiao Bai released her mouth, Lu Ming gradually lost her original posture. Her head swayed slightly, her eyes became vacant, and she fell off the chair as if her bones had been removed.

Yubari stepped forward and helped Shikamei up before she fell.

"Hello? Miss Luming? Are you still awake?"

Yubari supported the dizzy Shikamei, waved her hand in front of Shikamei's eyes, and seeing that Shikamei did not react for a moment, Yubari carefully pried open Shikamei's eyelids to observe for a while, and then tilted her head to put her chest to listen to her heartbeat.

"Yubari, how is Shropshire?" The goddess of the hearth asked Yubari as she helped Shiro up from the ground.

"Hmm...it looks like she's lost too much blood and is showing signs of shock." Yubari examined Shikamei's body for a while, then breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at the female hearth goddess and Shiro, saying, "But thankfully, the amount of blood loss hasn't reached a life-threatening level. Although Miss Shikamei is still a bit confused, she should be able to wake up after resting for a while."

"What about the ship's equipment energy status?"

"Let me see..." Yubari bent down and picked up a few detectors from the pool of blood, sticking them to Shikamei's thigh. She activated the machine and tested it for a while, then her brows relaxed, and she gave the goddess of the hearth a victorious smile. "Hmm, the ship equipment energy that was originally entrenched in Miss Shikamei's lower body has disappeared. The method we used worked!"

"Ah...that's wonderful..." Upon hearing this, the goddess of the hearth seemed to come back to life, letting out a long sigh. She smiled sincerely at Little White, "Admiral! Did you hear that? Our method worked!"

Hearing the cheers of the female hearth goddess in her ears and looking at the deer that had fainted in Yubari's arms, Shiro couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Oh...that's wonderful..."

Xiao Bai relaxed, lowered her head, and touched her lips.

The touch of her fingertips on her lips was sticky and slightly sticky, and a strong metallic taste filled Xiaobai's mouth, lingering there.

I must look pretty scary right now.

Xiao Bai lowered his hand and gave a wry smile.

There are no mirrors in the room for Xiaobai to examine herself.

Even without looking in the mirror, Xiaobai could probably guess what her current state was like.

My current state is probably not much different from the classic vampire image in movies and TV shows.

Thinking this, Xiaobai subconsciously wiped her mouth.

"Admiral, Admiral, have you absorbed the energy from Shropshire's lower body? What does it feel like?" The goddess of the hearth asked Xiaobai curiously from the side.

"Huh? Uh..." Xiaobai paused in wiping her mouth. She hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "Hmm... I'm not really sure about the feeling of absorbing energy, but... after biting Miss Luming's thigh, it felt a little like eating Deep Sea Dean's metal."

"Is this what an instinctive player is like...?"
