Elder brother's garrison

Page 2670

Although there seemed to be nothing in front of them, as soon as Bai Jiahei's hands touched it, they could clearly feel that a transparent wall of air had appeared in the direction they were trying to leave.

The wall was as hard as an iron plate.

Without a doubt, this must be the work of the will of the deep sea.

...How despicable.

I'm so angry about using white and black!

She turned around angrily and glared at the will of the deep sea.

As if completely oblivious to Bai Jiahei's gaze, the Deep Sea Will remained unperturbed, legs crossed, teacup in one hand, her eyes calmly fixed on the distance.

"You...you..." Bai Jiahei knew she couldn't leave this place anytime soon, at least not until the Will of the Deep Sea agreed. So, furious, she returned to the Will of the Deep Sea, gritting her teeth and grinding them, "What exactly do you want to do!"

“…Take a break.” Deep Sea Will took a sip of tea, glanced up at White and Black, and then gestured with her chin to the desserts on the table. “Have something to eat.”

"...?" Bai Jiahei's anger suddenly faltered. She subconsciously looked at the table full of cakes, cookies, cream puffs, and other desserts. She swallowed hard, then looked up warily. "...What...what are you going to do now? Let me tell you...you can't bribe me with this stuff!"

“If you don’t want to eat it, I can take it away.” The Will of the Deep Sea said, reaching out towards the table as if it were about to wave its hand and make everything disappear.

"Hey, wait!" Seeing Deep Sea Will's movement, Bai Jiahei quickly plopped down in front of the coffee table, reaching out to protect the desserts on the table. "I'll eat! I'll eat! Who said I won't eat! This is my reward for clearing the level! I might as well eat it!"

"..." Shenhai Yiqun liaoyi yu ling san ling qi IV ba zhi silently withdrew his hand.

Bai Jiahei quickly used a fork to pick up a small piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth.

The moist, soft, sweet and delicious cake melts in your mouth with every bite. With each chew, you can feel the perfect balance of sugar and fruity aromas bursting in your mouth.

An expression of satisfaction and enjoyment appeared uncontrollably on Bai Jiahei's face.

It's important to understand that while desserts aren't exactly rare in human society, they are a considerable luxury for Bai Jiahei, who has spent many years alone in the deep sea and hasn't had many opportunities to eat sweets since being captured and taken into the mental world.

Bai Jiahei doesn't have high authority in Xiaobai's mental world. Her specific location is probably at the bottom of the Deep Sea Taihou. Therefore, she naturally can't share Xiaobai's database, nor can she conjure up resources at will like the Deep Sea Will.

Normally, she eats grilled wild game made from materials dropped by bosses, as well as simple coarse grain bread and other foods sold by the NPC in charge of ingredients in Dafeng Village.

Although it's not entirely impossible to get exquisite food and desserts in Dafeng Village, those desserts are often very expensive. The "game currency" that Bai Jiahei earns by defeating bosses is generally not used to upgrade equipment, enhance weapons, perform amplification, or socket items, or to purchase rare gift packs that increase attributes from the Dafeng NPC. Instead, it's used to buy other consumable basic resources. Personally, she has basically had no surplus assets in the past year or so to waste on things like food and drink that don't increase combat attributes.

So, given the rare opportunity to enjoy sweets for free, Baijiahei certainly wouldn't let it pass.

Anyway, the Deep Sea Will has connections everywhere. If she really wants to do something to me, I can't resist it no matter what. She can't possibly poison these foods, can she?

She was so cool and adorable that in no time, she had eaten more than half of the desserts on the table.

Deep Sea Will didn't touch a drop; she simply crossed her legs and watched Bai Jiahei, her teacup swaying gently in her hand.

"The job I changed for you is indeed to work as a maid here."

The Will of the Deep Sea spoke calmly to Bai Jiahei.

Bai Jiahei didn't reply, but just rolled his eyes at the Deep Sea Will and continued eating his cake.

"You might think that being my maid isn't a reward in the literal sense," the Deep Sea Will continued to say to Bai Jiahei, "but if you become the maid of this room, I will give you some upgrades to your privileges in the spiritual world. Of course, I will also give you normal rest time. For example, from now on, you only need to come to work here five days a week, from 9 am to 5 pm. The rest of the time, whether you use your upgraded privileges to travel to various scenic spots in this world or continue to play your real-life game, I will not interfere."

"..." Bai Jiahei chewed on the cake, then looked up at the Deep Sea Will with a wary expression. After a while, she swallowed the cake. "...This is the reward?"

"Hmm." The Will of the Deep Sea nodded faintly.

"..." Bai Jiahei stared at the Deep Sea Will with suspicion for a while, then frowned, "Aren't you omnipotent in this world? You can just conjure up whatever you want, so why are you short of maids?"

“So there were other maids here before.” The Deep Sea Will looked toward the kitchen. “There used to be quite a few maids here, but they all left after this.”

The kitchen seen by the will of the deep sea was bright and spotless.

But Bai Jiahei had a feeling that the kitchen hadn't been visited in a very long time.

What does "leave" mean?

"She took him into the real world."

“She is… oh, she’s Boss Bai.” Bai Jiahei was about to ask, but quickly understood. He then poked at the cake with his fork and continued, “If you need maids, just hire a few more. There are so many deep-sea phoenixes out there.”

“I can continue to recruit them, but no matter how long it takes, as long as she has needs outside, Deep Sea Taihou and the others will eventually leave here,” Deep Sea Will said, his expression unchanged. “So after thinking about it, I still think it would be better to just choose someone who will never leave from the beginning to serve as a maid.”

Bai Jiahei's hand holding the fork suddenly felt weak, and she looked up at the Deep Sea Will speechlessly.

"So you just casually said that you'd lock me in your mental world forever?"

"Now that things have come to this, you don't still cling to the unrealistic hope of getting out someday, do you?" The Will of the Deep Sea looked down at Bai Jiahei, its voice arrogant. "Don't forget, you were arrested because you tried to do something indecent to her. Given my temper back then, the fact that you survived was thanks to her hard work. As for getting out of here... you're already on the verge of a broken spirit. Even if I let you out, how long could you hold on in the real world without dissipating?"

"Alright, alright, thanks for reminding me..." Bai Jiahei frowned, biting his fork, his face full of helplessness. "I think I understand why you wanted me to be your maid, but I still don't understand. Do you really need a maid? For example, these foods—you can just conjure them up when you want to eat them, and wave your hand and they disappear when you don't. You can do everything a maid can do for you yourself, and do it faster and better, right? In fact, a maid would just slow you down..."

Bai Jiahei muttered to herself, then suddenly bit her fork, as if she had discovered a great secret, and her eyes widened.

"Wait a minute... Could it be... that the reason you want to find a maid... is because you feel too lonely living here alone? Hahaha, please don't be so sure, I don't think you would feel that way..."

Bai Jiahei had only finished half of her mocking remark when suddenly she felt a chilling gaze upon her. It was as if a pair of deep, blood-red eyes had appeared behind her head, staring at her like some ancient, terrifying beast.

Bai Jiahei subconsciously trembled, and the fork in her mouth fell to the ground with a clatter. She turned her head to look behind her, but there was only air and a snow-white wall behind her.

Bai Jiahei nervously swallowed and turned around warily.

The Deep Sea Will remained as indifferent as ever. She sat on the sofa, legs crossed, quietly sipping her tea, as if everything that had just happened was merely a hallucination, unrelated to her.

Chapter 3751 Iron Chains

Bai Jiahei looked at the Deep Sea Will and hesitated, but finally closed her mouth, slammed her hands on the coffee table, and stood up.

"Have you made up your mind?" Deep Sea Will placed the teacup on the coffee table and asked Bai Jiahei.

"Consider? When did you get the idea that I would consider this?" After standing up, Bai Jiahei stubbornly addressed the Deep Sea Will, "Being your maid was absolutely impossible from the very beginning! I've finished the cake, it was quite delicious. I've listened to everything you had to say, and I'll pretend I know nothing about why you wanted me to be your maid! Is everything over between us now? Anyway, I'm full, and I'm leaving now! Goodbye!"

After Bai Jiahei finished speaking, he tried to turn around, then reached out and touched the road in front of him, moving towards the door outside the room.

Bai Jiahei left with a resolute determination.

Deep Sea Will raised her eyebrows, gazing at Bai Jiahei's resolute back. She looked down at the desserts on the table that had been devoured by the whirlwind, and sighed softly.

Have you ever heard a nursery rhyme?

The will of the deep sea suddenly spoke softly.

"Nursery rhyme? What nursery rhyme?" Bai Jiahei stopped and looked at the Deep Sea Will with a puzzled expression.

“There’s a nursery rhyme in human society that goes like this,” the Deep Sea Will said slowly. “When human children wander into a forest and get lost, they will find a colorful candy house somewhere in the forest. The owner of the candy house is a witch who is skilled in magic and is very hospitable. This witch will welcome all lost children. So when the lost children enter her candy house, the witch will warmly serve them food and sugar water.”

"...Huh?" Bai Jiahei looked puzzled.

“But you can’t just eat witch’s food.” The Will of the Deep Sea looked at Bai Jiahei. “After all, eating witch’s food is a sign of a contract. From then on, the children’s freedom will no longer belong to them.”

Under Bai Jiahei's blank stare, the will of the deep sea slowly rose.

A thick black fog began to rise in the living room.

The thick fog quickly enveloped the four surrounding areas.

Bai Jiahei instinctively stepped back, but after several steps, she found herself against an invisible, transparent wall.

"Huh??? You...you...what are you going to do? You...you stay away, you..."

"...Was the cake delicious?"

The cold voice of the Deep Sea Will resounded from all directions. Under Bai Jiahei's shocked gaze, the black mist spread and crawled towards Bai Jiahei, slowly climbing onto his body.

"Now...it's time to go to work."

The voice of the will of the deep sea suddenly whispered in Bai Jiahei's ear, like the whisper of an ancient god.

"..."

"Aa ...

Bai Jiahei's pig-like screams instantly rang out from the villa shrouded in black mist.

Outside the villa, the deep-sea giant phoenix mother, who was watering flowers, was attracted by the sound and looked up at the room.

The Deep Sea Phoenix Mother gazed into the black mist for a moment, then smiled slightly and gently shook the watering can onto the flowerbed on the other side.

Fine mist fell onto the flowerbed.

Amidst the clusters of colorful flowers, a delicate little rainbow faintly emerges.

……

……

On the other side of the real world.

It was early morning the next day.

In the living room of Nanxing Dormitory, the rising sun shone through the curtains and onto the floor.

The sofa, coffee table, and floor gleamed with a dusty golden light.

Clothes were scattered on the ground.

On the sofa, a tall woman dressed entirely in white, draped only in a thin blanket, lay asleep on her side. The pale yellow blanket, tied around her waist like a bath towel, outlined her distinct body curves, rising and falling slowly with her peaceful breathing.

The woman's refined and mature appearance contrasted subtly with her peaceful, baby-like expression while asleep.

In the quiet living room, the sound of the pen scribbling away echoed on its own.

Right in front of the tall, sleeping woman, in front of a square brown coffee table, sat a delicate young woman with white hair, also naked, sitting alone on a cushion. She rested one hand on the coffee table surface, her body gently pressed against the edge of the table, rapidly copying documents on the table, as focused as a student taking an exam.

Amidst the girl's scattered white hair, a leather choker with openwork patterns could be faintly seen around her slender neck. A delicate iron chain was attached to the choker, running along the girl's spine down to the sofa behind her, and then into the blanket of the tall woman who was sleeping soundly. The chain occasionally made a crisp metallic clanging sound with the girl's movements.

The sound of pages turning could be heard from time to time in the living room.

The delicate white-haired girl lowered her dark golden eyes, and as her pen moved swiftly, she filled page after page of documents and placed them on the other side.

If any ship girls were to arrive at Nanxing's dormitory at this moment and see this scene in the living room, they would probably have no idea what had happened here last night, no matter how hard they tried.

……

But at this moment, Xiaobai was just helping Nanxing deal with the backlog of work from the past few days.

After all, Xiaobai's original intention in staying in Nanxing's dormitory was to help her deal with the work that had accumulated over the past few days... Although some indescribable things happened between the two yesterday, so that Nanxing didn't touch any of the accumulated work until the next morning, Xiaobai still adhered to the principle of finishing what she started and prepared to finish the work for Nanxing while she was resting.

Logically speaking, it would be quite offensive for one admiral to help another admiral with the work of a naval base.

However, Xiaobai and Nanxing's relationship is now completely inseparable. Xiaobai helps Nanxing with the work of the garrison, and Nanxing certainly won't have any objections.

Furthermore, Xiaobai had previously assisted Nanxing and worked with her on the daily affairs of the Nanxing Garrison for several days. She had some experience with the daily procedures of the Nanxing Garrison and was not unfamiliar with them.

Xiao Bai quickly started writing, finishing all the documents on the coffee table before the sunlight fully pierced through the curtains.

Xiaobai sorted the documents into categories, then slowly got up from the coffee table.

The crisp sound of chains clanging echoed in the air.

After Xiaobai stood up, she turned around and looked at Nanxing on the sofa.

Nanxing only fell asleep around midnight, not long ago, and she was exhausted from all aspects last night, so she won't wake up for a while.

Even so, Nanxing clung tightly to the iron chain connecting Xiaobai while she slept, refusing to let go.

Xiao Bai blushed as she looked at Nan Xing's peaceful sleeping face.

The memories from last night were still flooding Xiaobai's brain like a tidal wave, making her head feel hot and burning.

"Sister Nanxing, wake up." Xiaobai reached out, her fingers slowly pushing down the iron chain around Nanxing's neck to her arm, and shook it. "It's morning."

"..." Nanxing did not react.

"Sister Nanxing? It's time to get up... It's not late." Seeing that Nanxing didn't react, Xiaobai tried to lower her chin and get closer.

“…” Nanxing’s eyebrows twitched slightly, but he still did not react.

It seems that Nanxing is in a state of half-awake and half-asleep, and has the momentum to not get up until noon.

Well... I was so tired last night.

Xiao Bai touched her arm, blushed, bit her lip, and glanced at the clock hanging in the center of the living room.

It's 7:30 in the morning now. In a little while, Nanxing's secretary ship will personally come to deliver today's work.

Furthermore, Nanxing's secretary ship has a key to Nanxing's dormitory, so if no one answers, she will definitely open the door and come in.

If Nanxing's secretary ship were to see the two of them like this in the living room, the consequences would be...

amount……

Considering that the secretary ship also knows about the special relationship between Xiaobai and Nanxing... the consequences should not be too serious.

However... it's one thing if it's not serious, but the real problem is that Xiaobai will probably never be able to hold his head up in front of that secretary ship again.

Xiao Bai touched the iron chain around his neck, thought for a while, and could only lower his head and whisper in Nan Xing's ear.
