"……no……"
With two sharp slaps, before Xiaobai could react, President Ergou firmly put his arm around Xiaobai's shoulder.
The president of the association, Er Gou, in Xiao Bai's arms took a deep breath.
"Ha...ha...Little White...don't be afraid of what I'm about to tell you."
"Don't worry, President Sister, just say it! I'm very capable, I'm not afraid!"
President Er Gou remained nestled on Xiao Bai's chest, then pointed with a trembling finger toward the blacksmith's shop.
"Little White... your construction device has just finished building."
"hiss--"
Xiao Bai gasped, then quickly looked in the direction Er Gou pointed, towards the entrance of the blacksmith shop.
The construction device that he had placed at the entrance of the blacksmith's shop to absorb the essence of the sun and moon was now lying on the ground with its hatch wide open.
"Ah, the construction device has been successfully built?!" Little White looked at the empty hatch of the construction device with surprise. "Guild Master, have I been shipped?"
"It's...it's out..."
President Er Gou exclaimed, "I'm so tired!"
"Great! Which Yamato-class battleship is that?"
"...No...not Yamato..."
Er Gou, the guild leader, grumbled resentfully. She reached out and grabbed Xiao Bai's arm, pulling her head close to him. A look of grief and indignation welled up on her exhausted face. "Xiao Bai...you...you...you've really created a great-aunt this time..."
"Grandma?" Xiao Bai was taken aback. "Grandma is... what's going on?"
"In all my years, this is the first time I've ever seen... seen such a bossy young lady... Who is this rich heiress?! If being spoiled could be added, this young lady would definitely have maxed out that skill to EX level!"
"Uh...yes, President Sister, please, please continue..."
"Just over an hour ago, I was chatting with Akashi, and then bang! That old lady kicked open the door of the construction device you left behind and ran out. What to do when a new ship girl appears? Luo Lian said I'm very good at teasing ship girls, who doesn't know that? Then she told me to go up and greet the ship girl. When I went up and saw that ship girl, wow, she was so beautiful, long legs, a small waist, a rosy complexion, fair skin, and she was also a natural birth type, with a pair of big breasts, big—breasts, right?! Then I got excited, and I went up to her, but before I could even say anything, she, she..."
"Her? What happened to her?"
"The first thing she said to me was, incredibly, that I had a bathtub in the yard!"
"Huh? A bathtub?!"
"Hey, this is a courtyard house, it's good that there's a bathtub. Is there any space to equip the ship girls with their own bathtubs?"
I told her we didn't have one, and she immediately got upset. She said she was the only ship girl in the world with a bathtub, and that life had to be refined and that she had to maintain a certain image. She said a naval base without a bathtub was soulless.
She was born here, and we, being a big shop owner, are bullying her and taking advantage of her being a young woman.
Goodness, that acting was so realistic!
You think it's like Meng Jiangnu crying at the Great Wall with Huangmei Opera elements, the lingering sound is amazing!
Later, in order to appease her, there was really no other way but to go up and serve this old lady.
This lady was incredibly spoiled. She immediately demanded afternoon tea, needed someone to fan her, and insisted on a shoulder massage—three long strokes followed by one short one, the shortest being the best. Around noon, her first meal out was to be something special. I gave her a huge steak; Wagyu was too greasy, she wanted Australian beef, and only female goat butter. She insisted on medium-rare beef, as her stomach was delicate. She wanted Siberian potatoes with Hakan kebabs, a yellow and green mix, garnished with little red hibiscus flowers. When I said I couldn't do it, she put on a dramatic performance, making me feel like I'd wronged her. Finally, I managed to get her a meal, and then she—she actually said she wanted to change her mind and eat king crab!!!
"..."
"Emperor Crab! I've never even eaten one before!!!"
"Pfft." Xiaobai suddenly couldn't help but laugh.
"...Xiao Bai, what are you laughing at?"
"Uh... I, I remembered something happy."
"What happy thing?"
"I just met a lady who wanted to buy a bathtub... cough cough, well, it's okay, don't worry about me, you can continue, Ms. President..."
"...In short, that old lady is incredibly difficult to deal with. After tormenting me, she tormented others. Then, out of nowhere, a group of ship girls who claimed to be joining us showed up outside, and she dragged them over to do all sorts of things to them. I can't believe a dozen of us couldn't even last half an hour serving her. What kind of structure is this old lady made of..." President Er Gou thumped Xiao Bai's chest. "In just half an hour, everyone in our courtyard was violated. She ravaged us all... Until finally, we realized that this girl was probably just playing with us. As soon as we asked her if she was playing with me, she, she actually admitted it openly!"
President Er Gou gripped Xiao Bai's clothes tightly, looking unwilling.
"I've dominated the world for decades! And today I'm defeated by a newly born ship girl!"
"Uh... I see." Xiaobai patted Er Gou's head, looking at the mess in the yard that had been swept by the strong wind with a puzzled expression. "...I understand the general process, but President, where did that ship girl go afterward?"
"Huh? Her? Oh, after seeing that we were all collapsing on the ground, she said she was going out to find the admiral to get some money to buy us some drinks as an apology... but we haven't seen her since..."
President Er Gou looked dazed.
"Uh..." Xiaobai hugged Guild Leader Ergou, scratching his cheek with a puzzled look, "Did she go out?"
"Yes... but she said she has your spiritual energy within her body, and she can find you by following that spiritual energy..."
"Huh?" Xiaobai was taken aback, then touched her stomach. "Then, which ship girl is that?"
"...Who knows? I was too busy serving that lady to ask... But since she mentioned the British Freedom Little Red Flower... it's probably an American ship..."
"Hmm? An American ship? Not a Yamato-class?" Xiaobai rubbed the injured head of the guild leader Er Gou and muttered curiously, "Uh... that's strange..."
Xiao Bai had a subtle expression on his face.
Wait a minute.
After organizing the data for the courtyard houses a bit...
Xiao Bai suddenly felt like...
Sudden.
Just when Xiaobai seemed to have found the key to the matter.
Another truck noise came from outside the courtyard gate.
Then, accompanied by a clear and melodious female voice, a series of somewhat chaotic footsteps sounded from outside the courtyard.
Xiao Bai turned her head and looked outside the yard.
A truck with the word "freight" written on it was parked outside the yard, and several workers in work clothes were unloading a heavy cardboard box from the truck.
"what?"
Xiao Bai put down Chairman Er Gou's body and walked out of the courtyard gate.
Beside the truck's rack, the ship girl I had just met was carrying a bag from the clothing store in one hand and a full bottle of beer and cola in the other, directing the staff who were unloading items.
"A little to the left, a little more to the left, yes, that's it, that's it, you can put it down now. I can carry it in myself from here on out... It's alright, it's just a bathtub, it's not heavy. Thank you all so much for your help, have a great day at work!"
The ship girl smiled and waved warmly to the staff.
He was waving.
The ship girl seemed to sense Xiaobai's presence beside her. She turned her head and looked at Xiaobai, who was standing blankly at the entrance of the courtyard.
Let's see the wealth of people one by one.
Xiaobai stared at the ship girl with his mouth agape, looking on in astonishment.
"Oh my~" On the ship girl's side, there was no surprise on her face like on Xiaobai's. After staring at Xiaobai for a while, she simply turned to Xiaobai and gave her a kind and calm smile. "What good luck. I didn't expect to run into you again as soon as I got back."
"……"noob.
"Hi~ Admiral, nice to meet you~ I'm Iowa."
Ninety-Zero Witch's Strange Umbrella ———
Zhang Tui
The Revival of Spiritual Energy Starting from Honkai Impact 3
At the end of 2018, an energy source from a higher dimension polluted the Earth, causing tremendous changes in the world.
From then on, spiritual energy was revived!
If the fate of the world and humanity were in your hands, what would you do?
Should we continue down the path of science and technology, conquer the stars and the sea, and achieve a nationwide mechanical ascension? Or should we manipulate creation, reforge earth, water, fire, and wind, and usher in a new era of mythology?
Of course, we need to get our waifu out first!
Chapter 1200 is Missouri-level female power.
A few minutes later.
Xiaobai distributed the drinks that Iowa had bought to the Second Dog Guild Leader, who was lying dead on the ground, as well as to the other ship girls in the yard who were exhausted from being tormented by Iowa.
"Glug glug glug glug—ah! So refreshing!"
President Er Gou gulped down the ice-cold soda in his hand, then let out a big breath, as if exhaling all the fatigue from his body. With the exhalation of a breath full of cola aroma, President Er Gou's face, which had been worn out and almost withered, regained a full glow.
President Er Gou, clutching the empty Coke can, with a satisfied smile, floated back into Xiao Bai's arms.
"Ah, that feels so good!"
"Are you feeling much better now, President?"
Xiao Bai patted Guild Master Er Gou's head and asked him a question.
"Well, all in all, I was finally given a second chance thanks to the ice-cold soda..."
"These Cokes were bought for you by Iowa. She just said it was to apologize for playing tricks on you seniors before."
"At least she's a human being..."
President Er Gou buried his face in Xiao Bai's arms, making a series of unintelligible sounds like "hiha hiha".
Mental fatigue can indeed be relieved by mental comfort.
Xiao Bai gently combed through Er Gou's hair, then looked in other directions in the yard.
In the courtyard of a traditional Chinese courtyard house.
The ship girls who had previously been lying on the ground, looking emaciated as if they were about to ascend to heaven, showed a clear improvement in their mental state after receiving the gifts from Iowa.
Cola didn't actually provide the ship girls with much energy; it was only the apology from Iowa that eased their pent-up frustration.
The ship girls sipped their chilled drinks, and although they didn't recover as quickly as President Er Gou, their complexions were much rosier.
—On another note.
—How did Iowa manage to control all the ship girls in this yard like this?
—This ship girl is truly a talent.
Xiao Bai looked curiously at the atmosphere in the courtyard that seemed to bring the withered trees back to life.
Among the ship girls who had almost recovered under Xiaobai's watchful eye, the flagship ship girl that Xiaobai had seen behind Duan Shuiliu earlier, after resting for a while, carefully picked up a can of cola, wobbled as she stood up from the ground, and walked towards Xiaobai.
"Admiral Lu Lin... Hello, we are from..."
"Yes, I know. You're Sister Duan's ship girls, right? Sister Duan already told me. Welcome! Anyway, you should find a place to rest now. There are plenty of empty rooms in the courtyard. Feel free to choose any of them. We'll throw you a welcome party this afternoon when all the ship girls from the Admiral's Guild are back." Xiaobai smiled at the ship girl. "Since you're so tired now, there's no need to push yourself."
"Ah..." The ship girl holding the can of cola looked at Shiro's smiling face, deeply moved. "I, I understand!"
Xiaobai waved to the ship girl, watching her return to the group, and led a group of ship girls slowly towards the rows of rooms behind the courtyard.
Before this, Xiaobai had imagined many scenarios of meeting the ship girls sent by Duan Shuiliu. She had even prepared what she would say to the ship girls.
But man proposes, God disposes.
Even if Xiaobai had the most mystical abilities, he couldn't have predicted that Iowa, who suddenly appeared out of the construction device, would intervene and give Xiaobai a proper "welcome" to these ship girls.
Thinking of this, a strange embarrassment appeared on Xiaobai's face.
I really didn't expect it.
What she initially thought was just an ordinary older sister she'd bumped into turned out to be a ship girl who had just escaped from the construction facility and was looking for her family...
It seems they recognized me a long time ago, but I didn't realize it until now.
As an admiral.
I'm sorry, Xiaobai.
Xiao Bai picked up the head of Er Gou, who was in his arms, took out a cushion from his ship equipment space, laid Er Gou's head back on the cushion, and then carefully walked towards the other end of the courtyard, to a room with the door open.
Xiao Bai had just reached the doorway and hadn't even had a chance to look inside when he heard a light and pleasant humming coming from inside.
The courtyard house has many rooms, most of which are uninhabited. Because the rooms are uninhabited, the furniture has not yet been purchased, so the interiors are very simple. Xiaobai glanced into the room and immediately saw a large, white porcelain bathtub in this simply decorated room.
The exquisite bathtub stood in the most prominent position in the room, shimmering in the sunlight, with the constant sound of rushing water emanating from it.
Xiao Bai tilted its head.
