"Bai Ying?"

"Hmm?" Bai Ying turned her head and looked at Xiao Bai.

"This morning... um..." Xiaobai said with some distress, as if she was thinking about how to phrase it, "Ahem... Anyway, here you go."

Xiao Bai reached out and handed Bai Ying something transparent.

Bai Ying looked at Xiao Bai's hand.

It was a plastic bubble wrap.

"what is this?"

"A stress-relieving wonder, want to try it?"

"..." Bai Ying frowned.

Although Bai Ying gave Xiao Bai a disdainful look that seemed to say, "Why would a mature person like me use something so childish? Watch out or I'll hit you!", she still silently accepted Xiao Bai's stress-relieving gadget after Xiao Bai's repeated insistence.

Little White left.

Bai Ying remained where she was, head down, staring intently at the bubble wrap in her hand, her eyes filled with doubt and distrust.

Bai Ying reached out and gently squeezed it.

"Snapped----"

With a crisp sound, a plastic bubble burst under Bai Ying's fingertips.

"..." Bai Ying.

"Snapped."

"Snapped."

"Slap—slap—slap—"

"..."

"Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa……"

Chapter 1049, the third one ( )

In the courtyard of the siheyuan, the crisp sound of popping plastic bubbles echoed continuously.

In a corner of the courtyard, Xiaobai, Akagi, and Kaga crouched furtively against the wall, cautiously peering at Bai Ying, who was sitting in the middle of the courtyard.

"Oh...the effect is remarkable."

Chi Cheng watched as Bai Ying instantly succumbed to the plastic bubble wrap, transforming herself into an emotionless bubble-popping machine, and exclaimed in amazement.

"Ah... I didn't expect it to be this effective..." Xiaobai nodded and said.

"Looks like you've accumulated quite a bit of stress." Akagi followed up on Xiaobai's words, looking at Baiying who was completely immersed in her stress-relieving world, and felt a little sorry for her.

"Yeah...where did Bai Ying accumulate so much pressure from..." Xiao Bai murmured.

Having lived this long, Xiaobai has seen many people under great pressure in their lives.

But the pressure was so great that she developed a fever and started talking nonsense. Bai Ying was the first person Xiao Bai had ever seen in her life who was so stressed that she was talking nonsense. Even Chi Cheng, who had autism, was not as bad as her.

“The hearts of ship girls are just so fragile… Bubble wrap is like drowning your sorrows in alcohol; it only provides temporary relief. If you don’t take care of your mindset, the problems will still appear.” Akagi sighed. “That’s why the admiral’s job is so important. Shiro, your responsibilities are going to be much heavier from now on.”

"Ah... um... I will... try my best."

Xiaobai nodded.

"Hmm, let's make some extra good food for lunch today..." Akagi patted Shiro's head, muttered to himself, stood up, and left with Kaga.

Xiao Bai squatted in place, and after observing Bai Ying for a while, and confirming that Bai Ying was now in a relatively good condition, she stood up from the ground with a little relief.

I'm really worrying about myself...

Xiao Bai murmured to herself, took a deep breath, and put Bai Ying's matter aside for the time being.

Bai Ying's stress reduction problem and her identity problem are not yet resolved because Xiao Bai and Bai Ying have not spent enough time together. So, for now, Xiao Bai should focus his attention elsewhere.

Xiao Bai took out his phone and glanced at it.

The other ship girls from the newbie naval base are expected to arrive at Chapter 6 tonight. Because we need to give the higher-level sea areas some face, even the newbie naval base will only set sail after these ship girls have joined them.

In other words, Xiaobai has about a whole day left.

Xiao Bai put her phone back in her pocket, glanced at Akagi and Kaga who were studying the lunch menu by the kitchen door, then looked at the tightly closed door to her room, and then at Bai Ying who was sitting on a bench in the middle of the yard to relieve stress.

Yamato, Bai Ying, Akagi, and Kaga are all busy with their own things, and Xiao Bai is too embarrassed to interrupt them.

So, it's time for some exciting free time again?

Hmm... I guess I have nothing better to do anyway...

Why don't we go take a look at the beach?

Thinking about this, Xiaobai lowered his head and pondered for a while, feeling that this seemed to be the way things were going to go.

"Akagi, I'll go out for a stroll by myself first."

Xiaobai walked to the kitchen door and said something to Akagi inside.

"Little Bai, remember never to eat food given to you by strangers."

Akagi, who was looking down and discussing the lunch menu with Kaga, laughed.

"...I won't eat it."

"Okay, have a safe trip, Xiaobai. Remember to come back for lunch."

"OK, all right."

Xiao Bai responded and left the kitchen doorway, her footsteps gradually fading into the distance.

Akagi, who was looking at the kitchen menu, suddenly paused and looked curiously at the empty kitchen doorway.

“…Huh?” Akagi frowned.

"Akagi, what's wrong?" Kaga asked, noticing Akagi staring at the kitchen doorway.

"...Was I too tired..." Akagi withdrew her gaze, rubbed her forehead, and pondered for a moment with her eyes closed, "Just as Shiro left, I think I saw... Shiro's hair out of the corner of my eye..."

"The Admiral's hair?"

“It’s turned black…” Akagi rubbed her temples and sighed. “I must have been seeing things…”

"...Would you like a massage?"

"No... um... please."

Even though it was early morning and the sun hadn't risen very high, the beach in Chapter Six was already packed with ship girls and admirals.

Admirals who are obsessed with frying fish are always out early and back late, working from dawn till dusk.

For most of the admirals in Chapter Six who firmly believe that the early bird catches the worm and that hard work pays off, time is the last thing they should waste, especially on weekdays.

The vast beach was packed with people, stretching as far as the eye could see, with a dense, dark mass of people covering the entire area.

On the shore, an admiral with graying hair was earnestly giving instructions to the ship girls who were already prepared in front of him.

"My wives, listen carefully to what I'm about to say..."

"Reporting, Admiral, we are not your wives!"

One of the ship girls immediately raised her hand.

"You're crazy! Every cute girl is the admiral's wife!"

The ship girls started chattering and laughing.

The admiral in front of him laughed, his face turning red.

"Stop fooling around, stop fooling around, let's get down to business." The admiral cleared his throat and said to the ship girls, "The inner sea area of ​​Chapter Six is ​​winding and convoluted, with many troublesome ship types mixed together along the way, so today we'll do it the same as before, just attack the first point, the same old method, remember to run away when you see an aircraft carrier, don't attack."

"Admiral, we can defeat an aircraft carrier."

"We can fight, but it's not necessary. Your lineup would waste too many resources attacking an aircraft carrier. Think of how much aluminum you'd lose in a day."

"Oh……"

"We need to make a living, so we're saving money to buy you new clothes."

"Oh, the Admiral is the best!"

"Remember, everyone here is fishing with explosives for experience, so team composition should prioritize safety and stability. Don't be reckless and run into the sea alone."

"Understood!" the ship girls replied.

"Alright, go ahead." The admiral was relieved.

Under the admiral's watchful eye, the ship girls jumped into the sea one by one, disappearing in a flash on the other side of the horizon.

Just then, the admiral, who was about to leave through the men's-only isolation passage, caught a glimpse of a dark shadow out of the corner of his eye.

The male admiral glanced over instinctively.

A little girl with long black hair awkwardly and laboriously squeezed out of the crowd.

After squeezing through the crowd, the little girl looked at the open sea in front of her, breathed a sigh of relief, and then ran towards the sea alone in front of everyone.

"Huh? Holy crap, are there really such stubborn kids out there???! This is a minefield ahead!"

The male admiral tried to speak up to stop her, but the black-haired ship girl was incredibly fast. Just as the admiral was about to open his mouth, the black-haired ship girl had already disappeared at the edge of the sea.

The admiral was left somewhat bewildered, staring blankly at the ocean.

The fried fish spot in Chapter Six during the day is completely different from the one at night.

As Xiaobai gathered her long hair, which had turned black with the help of the Deep Sea Will, she silently moved forward on the sea. Looking up, she saw rows of colorful destroyers all around her.

The destroyers zipped across the sea, dropping bombs into the seabed every now and then. With bursts of red light, pieces of the wrecked deep-sea amphibious ships floated to the surface.

It looks really lively.

Xiao Bai sighed.

Most of the deep-sea vessels used for blasting fish are deep-sea submarines.

Submarines, this peculiar type of ship, share the same characteristic whether they are ship girls or deep-sea amphibious vessels.

That is, although submarine ship girls and deep-sea submarines have the most terrifying torpedo attack capabilities, during the day, the survivability of these ship types with low defense and low health is extremely weak. Even the weakest destroyer can inflict fatal damage on them with a simple move. This is one of the reasons why admirals like to level up here during the day.

However, once night falls and night battles begin, the submarines, deeply hidden in the shadows of darkness, evolve from harmless fish into the most dangerous beings in the ocean. They further enhance their almost superhuman torpedo attacks while possessing unparalleled defensive and evasive capabilities, making them a formidable force to be reckoned with, regardless of the ship girl they encounter.

This is why there wasn't a single ship girl here when Xiaobai came last night.

After all, once night falls, this area becomes arguably the most dangerous sea in the world.

Xiaobai didn't interact much with the other ship girls here, and kept heading deeper into the sea.

Soon, as Xiaobai moved forward, the number of ship girls around her decreased, while the number of deep-sea ships increased. After the ship girls around Xiaobai had completely disappeared as she approached the depths of the sea, Xiaobai soon saw the weak-faced deep-sea dean wandering on the surface of the sea again.

"They've already gotten this close... It seems like it'll be just a matter of time before the admirals find out." Little White muttered to himself as he passed by the Deep Sea Dean.

After traveling for about an hour, Xiaobai finally made it back to the entrance of the Dark Sea amidst the pile of Deep Sea Deans, and opened the gate to the Dark Sea.

There was a flash of white light.

Xiao Bai's figure disappeared into the sea in a flash.

When Xiaobai returned to the dark sea, before it even landed, it suddenly felt darkness around it, and then soft, cool sensations came from all directions.

Before Xiaobai could react, several Deep Sea Deans lunged at him without warning, pressing themselves against his body.

"Huh? What's going on?!"

Xiao Bai hurriedly pushed the Deep Sea Dean next to him, trying to push these older sisters away from his body. However, after pushing twice, Xiao Bai discovered that the sea surface around him was now densely packed with Deep Sea Deans.

Looking out into the distance, Xiao Bai saw that the entire sea was almost entirely white, even more so than the color of the seawater itself.

The number of Deepsea Deans in the Dark Sea seems to have increased dramatically overnight...

Xiao Bai was somewhat shocked.

I just left last night.

Are these deep-sea deities all capable of fission reproduction? How can their numbers increase so rapidly!?
