Elder brother's garrison

The admiral is still better on ordinary days.

Changchun blushed as she thought about it.

……

Although Xiaobai had already eaten at Ella's family base, it wouldn't be a problem for her to eat a little more with the ship girls.

Just as Changchun and Chaoda were plating the food Xiaobai had brought back and preparing dinner, Xiaobai took the opportunity to go to the storage room alone and opened the door a crack.

Inside the storage room, the room was completely white.

Whether it's the walls, the ceiling, or the floor, everything in sight is completely filled with the special metal plates of the newbie naval base.

Xiaobai's fingers gently traced the handle of the storage room. She noticed that even the handle of this storage room was brand new, and the lock was sturdy and heavy.

Changchun and Chaoda are really reliable...

Judging from their situation, they probably went back to the newbie naval base halfway through and asked Washington to come and help them, so they could remove a new security door and install it.

Xiao Bai closed the door to the storage room with satisfaction.

Back at the dining table, Ella sat down, rubbing her belly. When she saw Xiaobai return, she smiled at her.

"Little White, where did you go just now?"

"I went to the restroom." Xiaobai sat down next to Ella. "Ella, do you have a spare key to the storage room?"

"Huh? No way..."

"Oh." Xiaobai nodded and smiled at Ella.

The ocean view room had a number of bedrooms, and almost every bedroom was fully furnished. After dinner, Xiaobai and his group chatted in the living room until Ye Shen finally said goodnight and went back to their rooms to rest.

Xiao Bai initially thought that Ella meant spending the night with him in a sea-view room, but he didn't expect that she meant sharing a bedroom with him.

Xiao Bai looked at Ella, who had changed into her pajamas, was hugging her pillow, and had an expectant look on her face. She turned her head away, smiled apologetically at Changchun and Chaoda, and told them to sleep in a room by themselves first.

That night, Ella slept soundly and comfortably. Although she was taller and fuller than Xiaobai, she seemed to prefer sleeping like a kitten, snuggling up to Xiaobai's body, as if Xiaobai could give her an infinite sense of security.

Xiao Bai lay on the bed, feeling the softness of the girl's body beside him, and looked up at the starry sky through the glass window, enjoying a brief moment of peace.

Ella's body has a light, pleasant fragrance.

……

The next day, Xiaobai and the ship girls decided to leave the nameless town at noon.

When Ella revealed this through her almost undisguised expression of disappointment and reluctance, Xiaobai was actually a little embarrassed.

It wasn't that Xiaobai didn't want to stay in the nameless town, but mainly because she had a heavy mission to complete. There were still many teleportation anchor points waiting for her and Chaodahe to plant. Due to the government's suppression of tourism, there were almost no entertainment venues in the nameless town. It was even difficult to find a leisure place like an internet cafe or coffee shop on the streets. Staying here would be a waste of time, so Xiaobai could only say goodbye to Ella.

"Little White!! Remember to say hello to Loki for me!"

Ella reluctantly bid farewell to Xiaobai and his group. She waved as they boarded the train and watched it disappear into the distance until it vanished at the end of the tracks.

My brief trip to this nameless little town has come to an end.

Actually, there is a teleportation point in this nameless town, but it is basically unusable now. After all, the teleportation point is on the sea not far from the Mu family base, and there are no facilities around to shield the aura of the deep sea. Once Xiaobai and Chao Yamato use that teleportation point, Chao Yamato's aura of the deep sea dean will be exposed, and it will attract the ship girl army stationed in the Ella family base in less than five minutes.

So when Super Large and the teleportation points were being organized last time, Xiao Bai deleted that teleportation point almost without thinking.

This is the only teleportation point that is actually usable now.

Xiaobai turned her gaze away from the railway tracks, let out a soft sigh, and looked somewhat lost.

"Admiral, would you like some oranges?"

Changchun, sitting next to Xiaobai, peeled a segment of orange and smiled as he offered it to Xiaobai's lips.

Xiao Bai opened his mouth and ate the orange, chewing and laughing as he reached out to hug Chang Chun's slender waist.

Ok.

Although parting ways with good friends is a bit sad, having my adorable ship girl wife by my side is still very satisfying.

As Xiaobai thought about it, it couldn't help but rub its head against Changchun's fair neck. The ticklish sensation caused by the skin touching made Changchun laugh uncontrollably.

After leaving the nameless town, the next stop is Linsheng City, owned by the Mu family.

Similar to the situation in the nameless town, as soon as Xiaobai and his group arrived at their destination and got off the train, the Mu family had already rushed to the train station to welcome Xiaobai.

Compared to Ella's family, the Mu family welcomed Xiaobai with much more enthusiasm. Not only the current head of the Mu family, Mu Chenglin, but also the former head of the family, Aunt Mu Naihua, and a whole bunch of Mu family elders, some of whom Xiaobai knew and some of whom she didn't, all came over.

When they learned that Xiaobai wanted to buy a house in Linsheng City, the Mu family reacted strongly. First, Munaihua stood up and said that everyone was a family, so why bring up buying a house? It was too formal!

He then led Xiaobai to stay at the Mu family's ancestral courtyard.

Xiao Bai originally thought that the stubborn elders of the Mu family would raise some objections on her behalf when they heard that Mu Naihua wanted to take her to live in the Mu family compound. However, to Xiao Bai's surprise, all the Mu family elders present, ranging from fifty to sixty years old to seventy and eighty years old, all had smiles on their faces and not a single person said a word of objection.

This left Xiaobai completely helpless.

Chapter 3456 Stealing the Beams and Replacing the Pillars

Having learned from her previous experience in the nameless small town, Xiaobai was now truly determined not to let the locals help her arrange housing, no matter what she said.

I'll buy it with my own money!

You absolutely must buy it yourself!

This time, nobody can interfere!

Before being pushed and shoved to the Mu family compound, Xiaobai reluctantly refused all the Mu family members who were overly enthusiastic. Then, in front of the Mu family elders who looked regretful, she bowed earnestly to express her apology and her firm idea of ​​buying a small house herself. Finally, she added tactfully that it would be best if she could avoid being helped by the Mu family during the house-buying process.

The Mu family's enthusiasm was even greater than Ella's. Xiaobai was really worried that if she let the Mu family make arrangements for her again, they might try to move her residence to the Mu family compound.

That would be absolutely unacceptable.

Even Xiaobai on Ella's side is unsure if there will be any trouble in the future, and she really doesn't want to create another teleportation point full of uncertainties.

Faced with Xiaobai's firm stance, the Mu family was puzzled, but in the end they still agreed to Xiaobai's request.

Munai nodded to everyone, and then, amidst a clamor like a market closing down, the Mu family members left the train station dejectedly. The elders of the Mu family got on the train or went for a stroll, and finally disappeared from Xiaobai's sight.

In the blink of an eye, only Xiaobai and his group, along with Mu Naihua, Mu Chenglin, and General Mu, three heavyweight members of the Mu family, remained in the train station.

"Sigh..." After the crowd dispersed, Konohana sadly cupped half her face in her hands and sighed to Shiro, "Shiro, when did we start drifting apart? My heartless little sister has flown away, and now we've finally seen an even cuter child come back, but before we can even show her some love as elders, this lovely new sister seems to be deliberately distancing herself from us. Is it because of the previous neglect that left a rift in our hearts? Sister, what should I do..."

"Auntie Naihana...no, it's not like that..." Xiaobai, who was more responsive to gentle persuasion than force, looked at Naihana's heartbroken expression and was momentarily at a loss for words. "I...I have my own specific requirements for buying a house..."

"Is it wrong for your sister to just want to see you every day?"

"No, no, it's really not..."

"Little sister, you just said those things in front of so many elders, I'm really heartbroken..."

"...Yes, I'm sorry..."

"..."

In front of Muna, Shiro was like a chick that could be manipulated at will. Whenever Muna sighed softly and her beautiful eyes filled with broken sorrow, Shiro would break out in a lot of sweat and become exhausted from dealing with it.

……

Behind the train station.

The ship girls watching Shiro being lectured by Muna was shaking their heads.

"If the Admiral wants to buy a house, can't we just sneak over here ourselves?" Hancock turned her head and asked the other ship girls in a low voice, "Why do we need to notify our local friends here?"

"Who notified us? Our admiral didn't tell anyone outside the naval base about this trip." The female hearth goddess shrugged helplessly.

“Sister Hancock, the locals in all the places we’ve passed through are very resourceful and well-informed.” Changchun smiled at Hancock. “They already knew we were coming when we bought our train tickets. It’s not just Linsheng City, but the same thing happened in that nameless little town last time.”

"Is it the same in that nameless little town?"

Hancock paused for a moment, then nodded silently.

It seems there are still many details I haven't noticed these past few days...

"Judging from what you just said, did you all come from the Rune Base?" Just then, a clear young voice entered the ears of the ship girls.

Hancock, who was deep in thought, slightly raised his head and looked ahead.

A burly, muscular man with a serious expression was seen protecting a handsome young man in a white robe as they approached. The polite and humble words of greeting had just been spoken by this young man.

Hancock frowned slightly the moment he saw the young man.

To be fair, after experiencing that series of events in Kyoto, Hancock admits that he now unconsciously harbors some psychological trauma regarding the image of the young man.

Whenever she sees someone like this, she can't help but think of the leader of the Li Huo Mercenary Group, and then some strange emotions naturally arise in her heart, making her want to raise her fist and punch that handsome face twice.

Hancock clenched his fist and gradually tightened his grip.

"Hmm? What's going on? There's a strong murderous aura in the air." The burly middle-aged man next to the young man suddenly frowned, looked around in confusion, and finally called out to the young man, "Cheng Lin, be careful. The train station is a chaotic place with a large flow of people, and it's not under the complete control of the Mu family. There might be an assassination attempt targeting the head of the Mu family."

"..." Hancock lowered his head and silently let go of her hand.

"Hmm? The killing intent seems to have dissipated." The burly middle-aged man frowned in confusion, then said to the young man, "It's alright. They probably saw our formation and gave up the assassination attempt!"

The young man paused for a moment, smiled at the middle-aged man, and then looked at the ship girls.

"It's been a long time, everyone. Since we parted ways in Chapter 8, I haven't been able to say goodbye properly. I am honored to meet you all." The young man cupped his hands and bowed slightly to the ship girls with a standard posture.

"Master Mu, we meet again." Changchun smiled politely at Mu Chenglin, then turned his gaze to the burly man beside him, "Uncle Mu, it's been a long time!"

"Hahaha!" General Mu smiled with satisfaction at Changchun. "Very good!"

Hancock watched the two of them silently. She took two steps back, leaned against Chao Da, and tugged at Chao Da's sleeve.

Super-sized felt the touch and turned to look at Hancock.

"They seem to know us very well..." Hancock asked in a low voice.

“Yeah, we’re very familiar,” Chao Yahe replied. She pointed to Mu Chenglin and whispered to Hancock, “The Admiral’s former tool.”

"And the other one?" Hancock asked General Wood.

"She is the husband of the admiral's sister-in-law's older sister, and also the father of another of the admiral's useful tools."

"...?"

Hancock frowned, his pale yellow eyes filled with doubt.

Human relationships can be so complicated?

However, although it's complicated... if what Chao Da said makes it seem like these two are good people, right?

Great.

It seems that not all human males are scoundrels.

Hancock thought to himself, silently gathering his emotions.

"We just came from Miss Ella's place. The admiral is taking advantage of this rare vacation to travel around and see the sights," Changchun said to Mu Chenglin and General Mu, reciting the lines he had already rehearsed with Xiaobai.

"I see, so this trip was a vacation." Upon hearing this, Mu Chenglin immediately showed a humble smile, bowed to everyone, and continued, "In that case, I can indeed understand why Admiral Lu Lin dislikes being disturbed—this operation was reckless on our part, and we will try our best to ensure everyone's travel experience. We hope that everyone in the new naval base will forgive any inappropriate behavior we may have done before."

"It's alright... it's just the admiral..." Changchun's gaze shifted to a spot not far away, his expression somewhat embarrassed.

Under everyone's gaze, Shiro stood before Konoka like a child who had done something wrong, head down, rubbing his hands as he apologized and comforted her. Konoka, meanwhile, held her cheeks, looking sorrowful, as if she had lost some important emotion, and kept muttering to herself.

"Ah... Aunt Naihua... she probably just hasn't seen Admiral Lu Lin for over two years and wants to chat more." Mu Chenglin withdrew his gaze and smiled somewhat awkwardly. "Aunt Naihua is very broad-minded. She probably won't get angry over these things, so I hope everyone can understand."

"Understand, understand."

"Speaking of which, is the old master at the Rune Base still in good health? My grandfather wanted to go and see him last time."

"It's very hard."

The ship girls nodded in agreement.

Inside the huge train station, General Mu Chenglin and the ship girls awkwardly chatted amongst themselves to prevent the atmosphere from becoming too awkward or silent, while on the other side, Xiaobai was gradually sweating profusely under the gentle words of Muna.

……

Fortunately.

In the end, just as Mu Chenglin had said before, Mu Naihua was a truly magnanimous person. She wouldn't really get angry over this. Her previous act of pretending to be sad and crying was just her unique way of expressing her longing.

In a sense, Muna and President Er Gou are indeed sisters. Even though they have different paths, they are both quite quirky and clever.

In the end, Xiaobai, who had just finished her online battle, personally handled the house purchase procedures, but at the cost of staying in the Mu family compound with the Mu family members she had been looking forward to for a few days while the procedures were being completed.

As for the Mu family compound...

Although Xiaobai has already chosen her own house, Mu Naihua said that the Mu family compound will always reserve a superior room for Xiaobai, so that she can come and stay whenever she wants, no matter the wind or rain.

It's worth mentioning that this superior room originally belonged to Chairman Er Gou. Not only was it in a prime location with beautiful scenery and first-class decor, but it also held a special status in the entire Mu family compound, comparable to the patriarch's suite. However, in the end, Old Master Mu waved his hand and changed the room nameplate to be exclusively for Admiral Lu Lin.
