Before Mu Chenglin could finish speaking...
The honest Chao Da, with a fierce glint in his eyes, transformed into a black shadow and rushed forward, delivering a punch straight to Mu Chenglin's face.
"Huh???" Mu Chenglin stared wide-eyed in confusion. He rolled swiftly, narrowly dodging the attack from Super Yamato, then nimbly flashed behind Xiaobai in a few quick movements, watching Super Yamato's missed attack with a wary expression. "Admiral Lu Lin, be careful! This ship girl seems to be up to no good! Get behind me quickly, I'll protect you with my horse stance punch, I promise—"
"Boom!"
A muffled thud came from the back of Mu Chenglin's head.
Mu Chenglin didn't utter a sound, his eyes rolled back, and he simply collapsed onto the ground.
With a look of reluctance, Xiao Bai put down the brick in his hand, clasped his hands together in front of Mu Chenglin on the ground, and bowed several times.
"I'm so sorry, so sorry, so sorry... Admiral Mu... this move was truly not my intention, I hope you can understand... I'm so sorry, so sorry..."
"...Admiral." Chao Yamato stepped forward with a look of shame, bowed his head in apology to Xiaobai, "I made a mistake..."
"It's alright, it's alright..." Xiaobai put down his hand and gave Chaoda a wry smile. "Admiral Mu seems to have studied martial arts. Chaoda, without using the ship equipment power that reveals enough deep-sea aura, it's really difficult to subdue him in one move... This is not your fault."
"So... what do we do next?"
“Uh… this…” Xiaobai swallowed hard, glancing down at Mu Chenglin who was lying unconscious on the ground. “In short… no one can know about our trip tonight… knocking out Admiral Mu is fine in itself… but…”
"but?"
"I don't know if my memory-altering ability will work on humans..." Xiaobai looked around nervously and said to Chao Yamato, "Anyway, let's move Admiral Mu back to his tent first... and then we can think about other things..."
"Hmm." Chao Da bent down and carried the unconscious Mu Chenglin on his back.
Xiao Bai looked around for a while, then looked down at the footprints on the ground, and then looked behind the tent where he had just hidden.
“No wonder… so this is Admiral Mu’s tent…” Xiao Bai smiled bitterly, walked forward helplessly, lifted the tent flap, and sneaked inside with Chao Da and the other two, carrying Mu Chenglin.
The tent area has returned to tranquility.
Amidst the bright lights.
The firelight flickered and shimmered.
Chapter 1944 Uninvited Guest x2
Before entering the tent in the Wood Forest, Xiaobai used his Admiral Network to explore the situation inside the tent.
Not for anything else.
The main concern for Xiaobai was that there were still several ship girls in Mu Chenglin's tent. If that happened, and he and Chaoda carried the unconscious Mu Chenglin inside, they might run into several ship girls who had finished washing up and were posing seductively on the bed. That would be an awkward situation that would be hard to explain.
After confirming that there were no signs of other life in Mu Chenglin's large tent, Xiaobai quickly lifted the tent flap and went inside first.
The tent in Mu Chenglin's tent was quite simple. There was only a small table covered with books, an oil lamp lit on the table, and several sets of men's outer garments neatly folded and placed next to a simple single bed. Apart from that, there was nothing else in the tent.
"Admiral Mu is indeed a decent man... He even brings so many books with him when he goes on a campaign to such a far place..." Xiao Bai looked around and couldn't help but feel a little guilty for doubting Mu Chenglin earlier.
"Admiral, I'm here." Chao Dahe followed closely behind Xiao Bai, carrying Mu Chenglin into the tent.
"Good timing. Let's put Admiral Mu down first." Xiaobai turned around and looked at Mu Chenglin, who was perched on Chaoda's shoulder, with a complicated expression.
"Hmm." Chao Yamato walked to the bedside, carefully placed Mu Chenglin on it, and then looked at Xiaobai, "Admiral, what's next?"
"Hmm... this..." Xiaobai sighed with mixed feelings. She rubbed her temples in distress, then stepped forward and looked down to observe the unconscious Mu Chenglin.
As the saying goes, no matter how skilled you are, a single brick can knock you down.
The original meaning of this statement was not to look down on martial arts. It simply meant that bricks, as a close-combat weapon, have an equal stun effect on all beings. If a brick hits the back of the head, whether it is an ordinary person walking on the street or a martial artist who has been through many battles, the person will either fall to the ground unconscious or die on the spot.
Of course.
Xiaobai clearly held back just now.
Seeing the unconscious Mu Chenglin, Xiaobai first reached out and touched the back of Mu Chenglin's head a couple of times. Then, looking down at her fingers and confirming that there was no blood on her hand, she breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
"Hmm... at least there's no bleeding, and he's still breathing. Admiral Mu should be alright." Xiaobai murmured, lowering her hand with a slightly worried look in her eyes. "Sigh... but... what about his memory..."
The fact that Xiaobai went out at night tonight is something that absolutely cannot be known to anyone else. That's why, as soon as they saw Mu Chenglin, Xiaobai and Chao Dahe went straight up and took him down without saying a word.
but……
The Deep Sea Will's memory modification function has only been used on ship girls so far, and Xiaobai is not sure if this ability will also work on humans...
"Well, we've already done it, so let's just try anything." Xiaobai sighed, then turned to Chaoda and whispered, "Chaoda, could you please sit behind the curtain for a while and keep an eye on things outside? Don't let anyone else in."
"Hmm." Chao Dahe nodded, then quickly walked to the door curtain, straightened his back, and knelt down, looking every bit like a door god.
Xiao Bai withdrew its gaze, closed its eyes, and its consciousness gradually sank into the spiritual world to seek the help of the will of the deep sea.
The giant and quiet figure knelt beside the curtain, watching the little white creature that had stopped beside Mu Chenglin.
At first, after Xiaobai closed its eyes and remained motionless, Chaoda looked at Xiaobai's motionless body for a long time, a faint look of doubt flashing in its eyes. However, the next second after Chaoda's doubt, a chilling aura suddenly emanated from Xiaobai's body.
This chilling aura wasn't from the deep sea, but pure spiritual energy. While Xiao Bai's spiritual energy had always been vast and powerful, its overall tone was gentle and warm. But now, the spiritual energy emanating from Xiao Bai's body was like that of a completely different person, filled with a cold and indifferent chill.
A chilling spiritual energy instantly filled the entire tent.
The enormous size of the hair on her body made her shudder and shrink back involuntarily. She stared at Xiaobai with a mixture of confusion and fear, her gaze becoming tense.
But it's okay.
Although Xiao Bai's spiritual energy had changed, his actions seemed to remain the same. After the chilling spiritual energy filled every corner of the tent, Xiao Bai, whose aura had changed, leaned down slightly and gently touched Mu Chenglin's brow with his fingertip. Immediately, the spiritual energy in the air seemed to have found an outlet, transforming into a vortex of spiritual energy that surged into Mu Chenglin's brow one after another.
"Phew..." Chao Yahe watched Xiaobai's actions, and the worry in his eyes eased slightly.
Inside the tent.
The candlelight flickered and swayed incessantly.
The giant was drawn to the light of the oil lamp and glanced at it subconsciously a few times. Then, as if realizing something, it turned back to look at the tent flap.
Then, Chao Yamato discovered that, perhaps because there was some fuel left in the oil lamp, the reflections of the three people inside the room were cast onto the tent flap in the bright light.
"..." Super Yamato.
……
In the dark night.
Bathed in moonlight.
The two ship girls walked through the tent area, one on the left and one on the right.
"Tell me, how old are you? You could kill a bull with one punch, why do you need someone to accompany you when you go to the toilet at night?" One of the ship girls complained lazily to the ship girl next to her who was clinging to her arm tightly while yawning.
"Shh! Shh!" Another ship girl blushed immediately, grabbing her companion's hand tightly and protesting softly, "What's so strange about girls being afraid of the dark..."
"Big sister, we're ship girls, we have night vision. The moonlight is so bright tonight, what difference is there between us and daytime..."
"But I'm scared!" The ship girl tugged at her companion's arm and said aggrievedly, "I... I didn't want to either. It's all my fault. I should have known better than to drink so much water tonight..."
"Ugh, alright, alright, hurry up and finish using the toilet and go back to sleep." Another ship girl scratched her head and pointed to the makeshift toilet not far away. "I'll wait for you outside, I won't go into the toilet with you."
"I know... We're almost at the patriarch's tent. Keep your voice down, don't let the patriarch hear us..." The ship girl said to her companion, blushing as if she were afraid her little secret would be stolen.
"Alright, alright, whatever you say." Another ship girl grinned and glanced at the tents made of wood not far away. "Anyway, the head of the family is working inside the tent at this time, so he can't hear any noise outside... Huh?"
The ship girl suddenly stopped halfway through her speech.
"what happened?"
"...There are people in the patriarch's tent."
"Huh? Someone's here?"
The ship girl who was using the toilet looked at Mu Chenglin's tent in surprise, and sure enough, she saw the reflections of two women, one tall and one short, outside Mu Chenglin's tent.
"How could there be someone in the patriarch's tent..." The ship girl, who was using the toilet, looked at the tent with a puzzled expression and muttered to herself. She narrowed her eyes and observed carefully for a few moments. "Hmm... no, if I only look at the reflection, I can only tell that one is tall and the other is short, one has a large chest and the other is flat-chested. Other than that, I can't tell which two they are..."
"Oh ho ho..." Just then, a sneaky laugh came from beside the ship girl who was going to the toilet.
The ship girl who was using the restroom turned her head and saw her companion with an expression as if she had discovered a secret, covering her mouth and her eyes curving downwards into two small crescent moons.
"Our master's health... is quite good!"
"What?"
"Look closely, those two figures, one is guarding the door, and the other is standing by the bed, bent over. Although it's not very clear, the person lying on the bed must be our master," the companion ship girl chuckled, speaking to the ship girl who was using the restroom. "I never imagined that our master, who always seems so dignified and proper, would secretly be eloping with a few of the younger girls!"
"Huh? You, you mean...?"
"Sigh, our patriarch is in the prime of his life. What could it be that two ship girls would run into his tent so late at night?"
"This...this...uh..." The ship girl who went to the toilet blushed instantly. "Which two sisters are they...?"
"Who knows~"
"This……"
"Alright, alright, the patriarch's love is priceless, let's keep quiet. Go to the toilet." The companion ship girl patted the ship girl who was going to the toilet on the shoulder and said.
The ship girl who was going to the toilet was pushed a few steps. She first lowered her head and took two steps toward the toilet, then looked thoughtfully at her reflection in the tent, and suddenly walked back.
"What's wrong with you now?" asked the fellow ship girl.
"Um... I... I feel like something's weird..." The ship girl, blushing, said to her fellow ship girl while using the restroom, "Um... I think, maybe we should go ask them over at the tent..."
"Goodness, I didn't expect you to be so daring despite your quiet appearance. What, are you going to watch the live stream?"
"No, no..." The ship girl who went to the restroom quickly waved her hand, "I... I was just worried that something might happen, so I wanted to check on the head of the family..."
“Hmm…” The companion ship girl squinted her eyes, thought for a while, tilted her head to the sides, and then nodded. “Alright then, protecting the safety of the clan leader is also our duty. As a matter of duty, it’s not a problem to go up and ask a couple of questions if there are other people in the tent.”
The two ship girls exchanged a glance and nodded.
Then, the two ship girls cautiously approached Mu Chenglin's tent.
As the ship girls drew closer, their reflections on the tent became increasingly clear.
"Well... on another note."
"Ok?"
"Have you noticed that the figure sitting by the door doesn't seem like anything special, but the figure standing by the bed... well, that figure looks a bit like a destroyer, doesn't it?"
"Eh?"
Chapter 1945 Arrives Just in Time
"Destroyer...destroyer..." The ship girl who was using the restroom suddenly widened her eyes and said in a surprised whisper, "This, this won't do..."
“Hmm, that’s true.” The fellow ship girl nodded. “If it were an affair with a battleship, aircraft carrier, light cruiser, or heavy cruiser, that would be one thing, since it’s consensual and there’s nothing wrong with it. But if the master is targeting a destroyer, that’s a different story… it’s really a bit… something…”
"Then, what should we do?"
"Ahem... Anyway, let's sneak up and see which two sisters they are..." the companion ship girl said, making her footsteps even lighter. Then, she and the ship girl who went to the toilet carefully walked forward, trying not to make a sound, and approached the tent flap. She reached out as if to grab the flap.
Just as her companion ship girl's hand was about to touch the curtain.
suddenly.
The light inside the tent went out.
The reflection on the tent then disappeared.
The ship girl who went to the toilet and her companion ship girl stood there stunned.
then.
In the instant they were stunned, the curtain was suddenly flung open, and a dark figure darted out from it, appearing before the ship girls with lightning speed and delivering a powerful punch to their stomachs.
The dark figure appeared far too quickly and too suddenly.
Before the two ship girls could even scream, the shadowy figure's fist slammed into their stomachs. The two ship girls let out low "ooh-ooh" sounds, then their heads drooped and they fell to the sides.
The shadowy figure swiftly picked up the two ship girls who were falling to the ground and skillfully dragged them into the pitch-black tent.
Outside the tent.
The night remained silent.
The moonlight was clear.
A cool breeze was blowing.
It was as if nothing had happened.
-
After being sent back to the Deep Sea Will that was temporarily working overtime, Xiao Bai's consciousness gradually returned from the spiritual world and back into her body.
“Luckily, Admiral Mu also has an Admiral Network. By infiltrating his mental world through his Admiral Network, the memory modification ability still works on him…” Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and said thankfully, “If it were someone like Nohana-neechan who hasn’t even had an Admiral Network, there probably wouldn’t be any way to help her…”
