Elder brother's garrison

The deep-sea supply ship turned its head to dodge Xiaobai's head-patting attack.

"Damn it! You think you can conquer me like this!" The deep-sea supply ship angrily held up the banknotes in its hand, jumping up and down as it protested, its little face flushed with anger. "Even I have things more important than my life!"

"what?"

"You can kill me! But you can't defeat me!" The deep-sea supply ship stretched out its other small hand and pounded on Little White's chest. "The shackles of matter cannot control a free soul. My heart will forever soar above the boundless sea!"

While blinking, Xiao Bai stared blankly at the deep-sea supply ship in front of him, spouting famous quotes and pounding his chest with the force of a back pounder.

—What's going on? Why is this child suddenly so angry?

Xiao Bai was puzzled.

Looking at the small face of the deep-sea supply ship, she thought for a long time, and could only come up with the thought, "Wow, what the deep-sea supply ship said is quite impressive."

Finally, Xiaobai's gaze gradually shifted to the large wad of cash clutched in the deep-sea supply ship's other hand.

"Um... Supply Sauce? Are you unhappy with your salary?" Xiaobai asked tentatively.

“This isn’t about the pay! My faith is priceless!” The deep-sea supply ship shook its head repeatedly, holding up banknotes, its large eyes filled with tears of humiliation. “For this kind of monthly salary! For this kind of monthly salary…”

"Huh?" Xiaobai was taken aback. "This isn't a monthly salary, it's a daily salary."

As soon as Xiaobai finished speaking, the deep-sea supply ship, which had been making a ruckus, immediately fell silent.

One second her face was full of cute anger, the next it was filled with a look of bewilderment and stiffness.

The deep-sea supply ship seemed to be paused, staring at Xiaobai in a comical pose for a long time, its mouth agape in surprise, widening to an astonishing size.

"…What did you say?"

“Daily wage.” After saying that, Xiaobai nodded in sudden realization, “Ah… I get it, Supply-chan, you think it’s too little, right…”

"Huh? Uh, no, that..."

"I'm so sorry, I didn't explain clearly. It's like this, although I am the admiral, the financial expenditures of the naval base have always been managed by Lexington. So this is all I can give you now, I'm very sorry."

"..." The deep-sea supply ship's hands fell limply from mid-air.

"Supply-chan, your work efficiency is more than ten times higher than Yamato's. Logically speaking, I should at least pay you ten times the salary of Yamato, but I can't make that decision. I can only talk to Lexington when we get back... I can only ask you to make do for now."

The deep-sea supply ship stared blankly at Xiaobai, hearing a series of creaking sounds coming from its own body.

—This is the sound of faith and integrity shattering into pieces.

Xiaobai stared blankly at the deep-sea supply ship for a long time without any reaction. She raised her hand again and, as she habitually did with Fubuki, reached towards the head of the deep-sea supply ship.

However, halfway through the exploration, Xiaobai remembered how the deep-sea supply ship seemed reluctant to let him touch her head, so she slowly withdrew her hand.

With a "snap," the deep-sea supply ship extended two small claws and gently placed Xiaobai's hand on its head.

The deep-sea supply ship carefully straightened the crumpled banknotes, folded them back into a bundle, and then gently put them back into its clothing.

"...Supply-chan?" Xiaobai asked cautiously.

"Ahem..." The deep-sea supply ship blushed slightly, "...Um, boss..."

"Ok?"

"...Please be gentle...This is my first time." The deep-sea supply ship's face was full of a shy and pitiful expression.

"what?"

"Waaaaah!" The deep-sea supply ship covered its face, ran back to its beloved broom from under Xiaobai's hand, and started working with great effort.

As she swept the floor, a relieved smile spread across the deep-sea supply ship's face, and tears of happiness streamed down her cheeks.

The deep-sea replenishment ship realized it was wrong.

When a subordinate kisses their superior, and this leads to further close or even inappropriate contact with the superior, it sometimes doesn't just mean a dirty deal.

Giving money to someone is considered being kept, and being kept is a shameful act, a despicable act that tarnishes one's noble soul!

However, giving yourself a lot of money is a different story; that's love! It's called paying your dues, and it's a perfectly normal thing for most couples, even married couples, in human society!

That's a daily wage!

From now on, I won't even turn on the tap when I take a bath; I'll just use Moutai liquor instead.

Love is priceless; it transcends race, age, and even gender!

I misunderstood my boss's sincerity.

The deep-sea supply ship shed tears of emotion.

As a noble deep-sea naval vessel, it is shameful to submit to a human admiral and become a hot water bottle or a bed warmer.

The deep-sea replenishment ship felt deeply saddened by this, but also felt a bittersweet joy.

As the deep-sea supply ship sailed further and further away with its broom in hand, Xiaobai remained completely baffled.

"What exactly is Supply-chan talking about?" Xiaobai turned around curiously and asked Missouri behind her.

Missouri pressed the button to end the recording, smiling as she subtly placed the camera into her ship's equipment space: "Missouri doesn't know either."

"...Did I mistreat Supply-chan?"

"The admiral must have confidence in himself."

"That's it..."

"Oh, right, Admiral. Missouri has something to say."

"Hmm? What's up?"

"I will not be able to serve you in bed during this time in Missouri."

"Ah? What's wrong?"

Missouri smiled at Xiaobai, her warm expression leaving Xiaobai puzzled: "Missouri senses that you'll be very busy in the next few days."

Chapter 836 One Foot Stomp and Smash

Xiao Bai didn't understand Missouri's smile, and she understood even less what Missouri was saying.

Xiaobai asked Missouri several times out of curiosity why she had become so busy these past few days, but Missouri only replied, "Missouri doesn't know why either, she just has this intuition."

Anyway, Xiaobai later realized that he couldn't hear anything from Missouri anymore.

—If you're not going to come and serve me in bed, then don't come.

Xiao Bai thought that if Missouri came at night, it would be nice to have a fragrant and soft body to hold and lie next to her, but she was already past the age where she could only fall asleep if she needed to sleep with an adult. If she kept asking Missouri questions, people might misunderstand her as having a big sister dependency.

So Xiaobai had no choice but to give up. Later, Fubuki and Changchun happened to pass by and saw a wild Xiaobai, so they caught it and took it home to play with.

Missouri returned to the kitchen to continue helping out; the kitchen flames glowed red, rising in the night.

After Xiaobai and the ship girls finished dinner, they rested and chatted in the courtyard for a while, talking about things at sea. As the night grew deeper, they turned off the lights and went back inside.

Xiao Bai lay alone on the bed in the room, staring blankly at the ceiling, feeling the blankets were a little cold.

I didn't expend any mental energy today, and I even inexplicably slept a little longer this afternoon, so I'm going to be back to my usual insomnia tonight.

Tossing and turning.

I couldn't sleep at night.

Finally, unable to bear the boredom and unable to fall asleep, Xiaobai entered the spiritual world and went to check on the will of the deep sea.

Deep Sea Will has been busy these past few days.

The large amount of deep-sea energy absorbed was stored in the ship's equipment and became a large amount of energy that could be digested. The Deep Sea Will has done a lot of research on that deep-sea energy. Its biggest achievement is that, with the deep-sea energy having some reflective ability, it has successfully given the Little White Online in the spiritual world a fully automatic monster-killing system.

When Xiaobai returned to the spiritual world, he saw the Will of the Deep Sea sitting in the center of the living room, facing a room full of deep-sea aura that had been refined to the point of being almost like white cotton candy, constantly grabbing and grasping.

Whether Xiao Bai greets him or talks about other things like how Bai Jiahei is doing, that he's not sleepy today, that this chapter is almost over and he should go back to the naval base, or where his daughter wants to go, the Deep Sea Will always acts as if it's busy with important matters and doesn't want to be disturbed.

At most, when Xiaobai mentioned his insomnia, the Deep Sea Will grabbed a Deep Sea Phoenix and tore it into three or four pieces, which only slightly depleted Xiaobai's mental energy.

So Xiaobai had no choice but to sit on the sofa and pet a group of Deep Sea Taihou that were disheveled after splitting and could only meow for a while. Finally, under the gaze of the Deep Sea Taihou, he said goodbye to them one by one and left the spiritual world.

Back in the real world, Xiaobai stared at the ceiling with her eyes closed for a long time before finally feeling a faint drowsiness after tearing apart the Deep Sea Taifeng. She then slowly drifted off to sleep.

As night deepened, the moon and stars became fewer.

With a creaking sound as the door opened, a dog-like ship girl crept into the room, then pushed the door shut behind her. Listening to the faint breathing of Shiro inside, she quietly approached Shiro's bedside. After confirming that Shiro was asleep, she knelt down.

Her long, golden hair flowed smoothly down her back, pure and flawless in the moonlight.

Saratoga reached out and lifted the sheet under the white bed.

Tirpitz was fast asleep, lying under Little White's bed.

Saratoga grumbled as she reached out and pulled Tirpitz by the arm, dragging her out from under Little White's bed and carrying her to Little White's bed.

Wake up! Let's party!

Saratoga poked Tirpitz's fleshy waist.

Tirpitz slowly opened his eyes.

"Defeat the Demon King...for Azeroth..."

Xiaobai's room was filled with the atmosphere of playing video games.

Outside Xiaobai's room.

Because so much time had passed, the Deep-Sea Supply Ship, who had taken four showers out of boredom, stepped out of the bathroom. Standing in the cold wind, he held a towel and wiped the water droplets from his hair while looking at Xiaobai's room with a complicated expression, seemingly unintentionally.

night.

The sea breeze, carrying a chill, made the small body of the deep-sea supply ship shiver.

"Achoo!" The deep-sea supply ship sneezed and sneezed lightly through its nose.

"Why haven't they arrived yet?"

"It's so cold—"

She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

In the blink of an eye, several days have passed.

A few days later, it was another early morning. Sunlight streamed in, and Xiaobai stretched and sat up in bed.

The sound of three people breathing echoed in the quiet room, rising and falling, creating a faintly enchanting atmosphere.

Xiao Bai lifted the blanket and, unsurprisingly, found herself riding on two long, white legs again.

Xiao Bai reached out and lifted the two legs off his body.

The girl's fragrance rubbed against Xiaobai's soft, smooth skin as he moved.

Xiao Bai looked to his left and saw Tirpitz.

Xiao Bai looked to his right and saw Saratoga.

The two ship girls looked like they had stayed up all night and were completely exhausted. They were fast asleep next to Xiaobai, like internet addicts.

Xiaobai stared at the two ship girls with curiosity.

At the first node, because the aura of the deep sea is no longer leaking out, the phenomenon of deep-sea clusters has begun to weaken rapidly in the past few days due to the overfishing by the admirals.

Those golden high-level deep-sea ships have also become rare, the density of deep-sea ships has decreased significantly, the Holy Liver is no longer available, and most admirals in high-sea areas are preparing to return home in the next few days with their harvest.

Of course, this is inevitable. The first node will not maintain the deep-sea cluster phenomenon forever, and Xiaobai will not stay here forever. She will leave sooner or later, and this place will eventually revert to its original state.

Moreover, the fact that the deep-sea cluster phenomenon has lasted so long, and the daily protection fees it collects, if added up, could almost circle the world, has far exceeded Xiaobai's expectations, making him incredibly wealthy.

After getting out of bed and getting dressed, Xiaobai looked back at the two ship girls who were still fast asleep on the bed, and pushed open the door with a bit of helplessness.

During this period, Tirpitz and Saratoga would often sneak into Little White's bed after he fell asleep, do some random things, and then stay up all night.

That's not good. Although ship girls are full of energy, they can't just stay up all night. Their spirits will eventually break down.

—More importantly, these two people always come in when Xiaobai is sleeping, so Xiaobai doesn't get to enjoy the privilege of falling asleep with her head on a soft ship girl's body.

Over time, Xiaobai developed a subtle sense of resentment, feeling like he hadn't enjoyed anything and was being taken advantage of.

Therefore, Xiaobai is about to unleash his ultimate move in response to being taken advantage of.

I pushed open the door, and the refreshing sunlight shone on my face.

At this moment, a white-haired German ship girl carrying a vegetable basket silently passed by without any emotion.

"Bismarck," Little White called out.
