Lexington probably already knew about the commotion he had just caused inside the naval base.
Thinking of this, Xiaobai couldn't help but lower his head.
Life is not easy.
Xiao Bai sighed.
When I see Lexington later, I'll just ignore everything else and apologize...
Soon, as the group continued their journey, the office building of the newbie naval base came into view.
Amidst the high walls of bright red bricks and tiles, a large brown wooden door stood open, with two blonde maids standing guard on either side, as if they had been waiting for a long time.
Xiao Bai and the Deans of the Deep Sea Institute stopped at the main entrance of the office building.
"Master, welcome back." Upon seeing Xiaobai and the others, two blonde maids stepped forward and bowed respectfully to them.
"Huh? Reputation, and a counterattack?" Xiaobai looked at the two maids in surprise. "What are you doing here?"
“Mrs. Lie’s meaning.” The Prestige at the front straightened up, her calm gaze sweeping over the Deep Sea Deans behind Xiaobai, and slowly said, “Mrs. Lie just said that the master has returned and brought some new friends, so she asked Prestige to come and greet them, so as not to make the master lose face.”
Renown's expression did not change upon seeing Frederick the Great and his entourage.
"As expected... Lexington already knew." Upon hearing this, Xiaobai immediately gave an awkward smile. "Um, Reputation, is Lexington waiting for us inside?"
"Yes." Reputation nodded, looking at the Deep Sea Deans behind Xiaobai, "You must be tired from your journey, everyone."
"You can entrust any heavy luggage to Counterattack!" As soon as Reputation finished speaking, Counterattack jumped out from behind her, beaming with a friendly smile and making a powerful gesture with one hand. "You can entrust any kind of luggage to Counterattack! Counterattack will do her best to take good care of it!"
"No need, everyone came empty-handed."
"Eh, empty-handed? Thump—how disappointing..." Counterattack immediately slumped down in utter frustration.
"Counterattack, watch your appearance," came the voice from Reputation.
"Yes, sister!" Upon hearing the voice of the reputation, Counterattack's eyes widened and he straightened up.
"Please excuse my poor manners." Reputation bowed slowly to the crowd, stepped aside, and leaned one hand toward the door. "Now, Reputation will lead you to the reception room."
The Deans of the Deep Sea Academy, Chapter Eight, stirred for a moment behind Xiaobai.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Reputation." Xiao Bai nodded to Reputation and walked into the office building.
Seeing Xiaobai enter the building, the Deans of the Deep Sea Academy quickly followed her in.
With a calm expression, Shengwang stood by the door. Only after the last Dean of the Deep Sea entered the office building did she turn around and slowly follow the others.
The figure of the Prestige walked past the Deans of the Deep Sea and stopped slightly behind and to the side of Xiaobai.
The newbie naval commanders of the Deepsea Yamato and other deepsea units were already used to the existence of reputation, but this was the first time the deepsea commanders of Chapter 8 had seen a ship girl with such a high level of maid skills, and they couldn't help but frequently cast their gazes at her.
"Yamato-sensei, who is this?" Kamikaze asked curiously as he approached Yamato from the Deep Sea.
"This is our garrison's head maid, Renown."
"Oh……"
"She'll be your boss from now on, so be polite to her."
"What?"
With these words, Shengwang led everyone to the reception hall on the first floor.
The reception hall of the naval base is a room that is twice the size of the admiral's office. The interior decoration is similar to a living room, with luxurious furnishings and complete facilities such as sofas, tables and chairs. It is generally used to receive guests from outside the naval base.
The doors to the reception hall were open at that moment.
Standing in the corridor, one could immediately see the red wallpaper and furniture, as well as a tall, flaxen-clad figure.
In Chapter 2197, the Deans of the Deep Sea Academy stood on tiptoe and subconsciously looked toward the flaxen-colored figure.
It was the back view of a woman with long hair reaching her hips. She was tall and voluptuous, wearing a close-fitting white navy uniform. The shorts on her thighs and the black stockings that covered her knees accentuated her extremely alluring curves as she moved.
Under everyone's gaze, the woman, whose back was the only part of her body visible, was squatting in front of the coffee table in the reception room, arranging the cut fruit and tea neatly. Then, in full view of everyone, she took out a slender, light-colored vase, carefully placed it on the corner of the table, and finally conjured a few small white and yellow flowers from thin air and inserted them into the vase.
After doing all this, the woman in the reception room stood up and poked the flowers with her jade-like fingers.
"Ah, very good."
A gentle voice reached everyone's ears.
Although the woman's face could not be seen, everyone could almost see her warm and gentle smile just by listening to her voice.
"That's... Lexington?" The Deep Sea Deans of Chapter Eight looked around the reception room with a puzzled expression, talking to themselves.
"Is that Xiaobai?" At the same time, as if sensing the sound coming from the corridor, the woman in the reception room turned around and walked towards the door.
The deans of the Deep Sea Academy all lowered their feet and looked away.
The next second, Lexington peeked out from the drawing room with a smile.
"Lexington!" Little White greeted Lexington as soon as he saw her.
"Ah, it really is Xiaobai." Lexington leaned on the threshold and gave Xiaobai a gentle and sweet smile. "Why didn't you say hello before you got here? I've been waiting for you in the reception room for ages."
"We...we just arrived too..."
"Haven't been home for a week, and you've already started to think of this place as something else?" Lexington walked out of the reception room, a gentle smile on her face, and approached Xiaobai, lightly poking her forehead. "How can the Admiral not announce his return to the ship girls at home?"
As Lexington walked up to the group, a warm floral fragrance wafted over them.
"Well, I'm back!" Little White was poked on the forehead by Lexington, and he quickly stretched out his arms and jumped into Lexington's arms.
Chapter 2198 A Demonic Woman
Lexington's body was very soft, like the highest quality silk and sponge. Every time Xiaobai hugged her, he could feel Lexington's skin under her clothes slightly sinking and changing into the shape most suitable for accepting him as he touched her.
It was incredibly comfortable.
It felt like coming home.
Little White couldn't resist rubbing against Lexington's belly.
No wonder Saratoga likes to cling to Lexington whenever they're alone together.
Little White greedily savored the sensations emanating from Lexington's body, then lifted his head from Lexington's embrace and spoke apologetically.
"Lexington, I'm so sorry..."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"When I brought them back, I accidentally caused a terrifying scene..."
"Oh, you mean that deep-sea energy pillar from just now?" Lexington patted Little White on the back, his smile undiminished. "It's alright, it was only less than ten seconds."
"But...but the people in the city have probably already seen it..."
"As long as you tell the people who come to inquire that it's a research project of our naval base, and guarantee that it won't happen a second time, you can easily cover it up." Lexington rubbed Xiaobai's head, then looked up and smiled slightly at the Deep Sea Deans behind Xiaobai. "Compared to such trivial matters, Xiaobai, aren't you going to introduce us to the new friend you brought back this time?"
"Ah! Right!" Reminded by Lexington, Xiaobai finally remembered the important matter.
Xiao Bai quickly released his arm from Lexington's slender waist and pointed to the Deep Sea Deans behind him one by one.
“Lexington, these are the Deep Sea Deans I brought back from Chapter Eight. They are Kamikaze, Savoy, Zuikaku, Barbarossa, Hindenburg, and Frederick the Great.” Little White pointed to Frederick the Great at the end of the line, paused for a moment, and continued to Lexington, “Um… actually, there’s another Deep Sea Dean named Figel…”
“Ah, it’s the one from a week ago.” Lexington nodded and said with a smile, “Missouri brought back a sister from the battlefield a week ago whose body was filled with metal. That should be Figel, right? She has already had the removal surgery and is currently in the postoperative recovery period. You can go see her whenever you want; she is the one who was in charge of that sister’s surgery.”
"Ah, okay!"
"Sisters in the back, don't stand here anymore, come in." Lexington patted Xiaobai on the shoulder and smiled at the Deep Sea Deans in the corridor.
"Can we do it too?" Yamato Akagi pointed to himself.
"Of course! Yamato and you guys are the biggest contributors to Chapter 8, so I'm going to reward you properly," Lexington said with a smile.
"Yay!" Yamato Fukami skipped and hopped into the reception room.
With Deepsea Yamato leading the way, Pachina, Loki, and Deepsea Musashi also entered the reception room one after another, leaving only the Deepsea Deans from Chapter 8 in the corridor.
In Chapter 2199, the Deans of the Deep Sea looked at each other.
Kamikaze approached with a suspicious look, scrutinizing Lexington's face with a furrowed brow: "...You're Lexington?"
"Exactly."
"...You're not as scary as the rumors say."
"Hehe... how could that be?" Lexington laughed happily.
"Hmph, they were lying to me after all." Kamikaze turned his head and walked briskly into the reception room.
After Kamikaze entered the reception room, Savoy slowly walked up. She looked Lexington up and down with her eyes open, then suddenly smiled slightly and reached out her hand to Lexington.
“My name is Savoy,” Savoy said with a smile.
"Hello." Lexington reached out and shook hands with Savoy, smiling slightly.
"Kamikaze is just ungrateful. If you want to bully her, go ahead and bully her. Don't give her any face." Savoy said with a smile, then put his hands behind his back and walked into the reception room humming a little tune.
Behind Savoy, Zuikaku Aqua and Barbarossa walked over. The two did not say anything to Lexington, but simply bowed slightly to her before pulling Hindenburg Aqua into the reception room.
The corridor suddenly became deserted.
The reception room was filled with a lively atmosphere.
Lexington's gaze finally settled on Frederick the Great.
Frederick the Great's aura was clearly different from the other Deep Sea Deans. After the other Deep Sea Deans entered the reception room, Frederick the Great did not make any move. He simply stood in the corridor, his gaze calm and indifferent as he looked at Little White and Lexington.
“What a remarkable new guest,” Lexington said with a slight smile, looking at Frederick the Great. “Please come in.”
Frederick the Great did not take a step despite Lexington's invitation.
"What's wrong?" Lexington asked.
"I am not a guest," Frederick the Great said.
"Oh?"
"I am merely... an object." Frederick the Great's voice was calm as she looked at Lexington, her gaze seemingly piercing right through him. "There is no place for me in that drawing room."
"How could that be? Our naval base welcomes everyone."
“So, I am not a guest.” Frederick the Great spoke again, his gaze shifting slightly downwards and lingering on the little white creature in Lexington’s arms. “I am just… a prize she won in the battle of Chapter Eight.”
Frederick the Great's voice was devoid of any emotion.
After listening to Frederick the Great's words, Lexington exchanged a glance with the little white dog in his arms.
“What a special guest,” Lexington said to Little White with a smile.
"Well... it is indeed quite special." Xiaobai smiled awkwardly.
“Alright, since she doesn’t want to go in, we won’t make things difficult for her.” Lexington said, then called out to Reputation at the entrance to the reception room, “Reputation, could you take this Miss Frederick to the admiral’s office upstairs for a while? We’ll go find her after we’ve settled the other guests.”
After saying this, Lexington looked at Frederick the Great again and gave her a gentle smile: "Since you don't want to go into the reception room, the admiral's office will do, right? That's Xiaobai's private space. As the top prize for Xiaobai's eighth chapter of the conquest, it seems better to leave you there for the time being?"
Frederick the Great silently looked at Lexington and did not refuse again.
Renown led Frederick the Great away.
Xiao Bai and Lexington watched Frederick the Great's figure disappear into the stairwell before turning their attention away.
“It seems you haven’t completely won over this Deep Sea Dean yet, Little White,” Lexington said to Little White.
"Well... it's already quite an achievement to win..." Xiaobai said with a wry smile.
"As expected of you." Lexington patted Little White's head. "Let's discuss her matter properly later. Let's go to the reception room and see the others first."
"Ok!"
Xiaobai and Lexington entered the reception room.
A wave of sound swept over us.
"Wow! This thing called a sofa is so soft to sit on!"
“Indeed, there are no such things in deep-sea cities.”
"Human cities, amazing!"
"Hindenburg, don't run around!"
……
When Xiaobai and Lexington returned to the reception room, the atmosphere was incredibly noisy. The Deep Sea Deans who had just entered were sitting haphazardly on the sofas, and the most energetic ones were running around the coffee table happily. The fruit platters that had been neatly arranged on the table were immediately snatched away, leaving only bare plates. The vases that had stood upright were also overturned on the coffee table, the flowers gone, leaving only the vase body swaying back and forth on the table.
Lexington smiled as she looked at the Deep Sea Deans in the reception room.
