"Lianlian?" Xiaobai was taken aback.
"Mm," Luo Lian replied with a smile, "I'm here again."
Is the university closed today?
"No, it's okay, it's not a big problem." Luo Lian said her favorite phrase again.
Since Luo Lian said it's not a big problem, then it shouldn't be a big problem, right?
"Lianlian, how were you feeling yesterday?"
"what you mean how?"
"Didn't you take the drug from the Admiral's Network?" Xiaobai asked.
Xiaobai asked Bismarck about the time it takes for the nerve agent to take effect. Bismarck said that after taking the nerve agent, it will first put people into a state of extreme fatigue, and then catalyze the brain during sleep. After the catalysis is complete, the person will wake up, and the admiral network will gradually appear.
The time required for this process varies from person to person.
Xiaobai was incredibly fast because he drank Osmanthus's blood directly; he activated the Admiral Network almost immediately after swallowing it.
Luo Lian was taking medicine, which had been softened and prepared with many other drugs, so it took much, much longer to take effect than Xiao Bai's medicine.
"That?" Luo Lian nodded when she saw Xiao Bai ask this question. "Yes, I have it. I had it yesterday afternoon."
Luo Lian seemed completely unconcerned about possessing superhuman strength. After confirming it, she looked at Xiao Bai with a beaming smile and said, "Oh, by the way, Xiao Bai, I saw a coffee shop on my way here. It looks really popular. Shall we go check it out?"
"what?"
"what happened?"
"Lianlian, don't you want to try out the Admiral Network's capabilities?" Xiaobai asked curiously.
"I don't have any ship girls, let's talk about that after I graduate." Luo Lian shook her head, "What about the coffee shop..."
"Can I see your Admiral Network, Lianlian?" Xiaobai asked curiously.
"Oh...oh, okay." Luo Lian didn't expect Xiao Bai to be so curious about her Admiral Network, so she nodded.
Then Xiaobai could feel a strange, invisible aura emanating from Luo Lian's body.
Unlike Xiaobai's soft admiral network, Luo Lian's admiral network was as hard and solid as marble, spreading out in all directions like a naturally crystallized diamond.
Chapter 366 I'm already my sister-in-law's man
Humans without an admiral's network cannot perceive the admiral's network. Therefore, releasing the admiral's network here is not a concern for anyone other than Shiro and Akagi to see it.
Akagi looked at Luo Lian's Admiral Network in surprise.
The Admiral Network is, to some extent, a synthesis of human experiences and a disguised manifestation of human will.
Although Luo Lian's diamond-hard admiral network doesn't actually have any advantage over a liquid admiral network, it directly demonstrates that this girl's willpower is unparalleled.
"Wow, Lianlian, that's much stronger than my Admiral Network!" Xiaobai exclaimed.
"Hmm? Little White, is yours different from mine?"
"Mine? The ship girls all say mine flows like water." Xiaobai scratched his head sheepishly.
"Oh..." Luo Lian thought for a moment, "Then let me see Xiao Bai, okay?"
"Okay." Xiaobai trusted Luo Lian completely, so she released her Admiral Network without even thinking.
This was also the first time Akagi had seen Shiro's admiral network.
Like her brother, Xiaobai's admiral network is a gel-like substance that constantly extends from her body, transforming into all sorts of tentacles.
Akagi nodded as he watched Shiro release the Admiral's Network.
After a while, Akagi slowly began to realize that something was wrong.
The sheer size of Xiaobai's network of admirals seems a bit large.
Akagi frowned.
Luo Lian's admiral network was diamond-shaped, only spreading to about two or three meters around her body. However, Xiao Bai's admiral network seemed to be alive. After emerging from Xiao Bai's body, it kept growing and slowly enveloped both Luo Lian and Akagi.
And it's still expanding dramatically.
Remembering that Xiaobai had mentioned before that he had stolen the ship equipment of the Abyssal Fleet by relying on the Admiral Network, Akagi couldn't help but take Xiaobai's Admiral Network seriously.
"Xiaobai, that's enough." Akagi patted Xiaobai on the shoulder.
"Oh!" Xiaobai quickly stopped his Admiral Network and then slowly withdrew it.
"It's so big!" Luo Lian said in surprise, looking at Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai blushed.
"Little White, you have a very good memory, right?" Akagi asked.
Xiaobai nodded.
“Xiao Bai memorizes things very quickly,” Luo Lian said. “There’s no need to look at it a second time.”
"Oh, no wonder." Akagi patted Shiro's head.
It seems that Xiaobai's network of admirals completely overwhelms Luo Lian.
But since you're a complete beginner, it doesn't matter.
Luo Lian smiled.
"Xiao Bai, about the coffee shop we were talking about earlier..."
"Hmm, I was just thinking of staying here for a few days too, Lianlian, do you have time..."
"I'm free!"
“…Then let’s stay in Shengchuan for a few days.” Xiao Bai laughed as he looked at Luo Lian’s excited expression.
She was unaware that Akagi had said this morning that he was ready to return to the naval base at any time, and thought she would stay in Sacred River for a few more days.
Chicheng looked at Luo Lian and Xiaobai, but did not say anything to explain.
Luo Lian nodded with satisfaction: "Are you going to throw away the trash? Let me help you."
As Luo Lian spoke, she was about to take the plastic bag from Xiao Bai's hand.
“That’s very heavy…” Akagi was about to speak up to dissuade him, but Xiaobai had already handed the plastic bag in his hand to Luo Lian with considerable confidence.
Luo Lian took the plastic bag, curiously raised her hand and moved it up and down: "Oh, it's quite heavy. Xiao Bai, you've gotten quite strong lately, haven't you?"
Luo Lian also had an expression that said this thing wasn't heavy at all?
This really shocked Akagi.
Are all the girls in such great physical condition lately? Can they carry two cases of beer without even breaking a sweat? Or is Luo Lian also a cunning admiral with ship equipment, pretending to be weak while actually being strong?
Akagi subconsciously reached out and touched Luo Lian's arm.
"Hmm? What's wrong?" Luo Lian looked at Chi Cheng.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it was an accident." Akagi quickly withdrew her hand.
Fortunately, Luo Lian could feel the strain on her arm.
—She seems to be the kind of girl with great strength, rather than someone with ship-mounted power.
“You’re very strong,” Akagi said with a smile.
"I exercise regularly," Luo Lian replied. "It takes a lot of effort to keep my arms from developing muscles like a normal girl's."
The three of them chatted and laughed as they walked to the large trash can next to the garden.
Since the beer contains drinkable ingredients, Akagi didn't throw it directly into the trash can like garbage. Instead, she placed it next to the trash can.
"There are still quite a few people in the garden." Xiaobai looked at the men in the middle of the garden, who were just as many as yesterday.
When the men saw Akagi come downstairs, they should have been eager to come up to her one by one and ask how she was doing. However, remembering how angry Akagi had been the day before, none of them dared to come up for the time being.
Akagi thought for a moment, cleared her throat, and walked towards the suitors in the center of the garden.
As the men watched Akagi approach, they felt a mix of excitement and nervousness.
Akagi walked up to the men and bowed slightly to them: "I was a little out of sorts yesterday and said some things I shouldn't have. It wasn't intentional, I'm sorry."
The men looked at Akagi and were all relieved.
Oh, so you came to apologize.
The men's faces lit up with a relieved smile.
This woman is truly wonderful; my judgment was right. She's so kind...
"But your presence has really caused me a lot of trouble, so I hope I won't see you again." But Akagi didn't give these men a chance to catch their breath; her next sentence extinguished their newly rekindled hopes.
Akagi raised her head, raised her hand, and said with a very troubled smile, "Because I really can't fall in love with other men."
clap clap clap...
The flowers and gifts in the man's hands all fell to the ground after Akagi said those words.
"But you...you...what will you do in the future?" someone asked, still unwilling to give up.
"I'm going back to my sister-in-law's hometown," Akagi said with a happy smile.
"You can't stay single forever!" A man looked at Akagi with a pained expression, as if to say, "You can't treat yourself like this; you're still young."
"Who said I'm going to be single?" Scarface Akagi smiled as she looked at the men in front of her. "I'm already my sister-in-law's (ship girl)."
After saying this, Akagi left behind her stunned suitors, walked out of the garden, and returned to Shiro's side.
The man in the garden watched as Akagi, Xiaobai, and Luo Lian returned to the stairwell, and for a moment he didn't understand the situation.
"What did she just say?" someone asked, thinking they were dreaming.
"She said she...had an affair with her sister-in-law?"
"...There's...this kind of...operation?"
With a thud, a man who couldn't accept it knelt down on the ground.
He was a high-ranking person with a considerable status in a company, and his wealth was quite good in this small city. He fell in love with Akagi at first sight, disregarding the fact that Akagi was just an ordinary saleswoman, and even divorced, and that they were not a good match. He was simply attracted to her beauty and diligence, and joined Akagi's large group of suitors, pursuing her tirelessly for more than half a year.
Although he was quite good among his suitors, he wasn't the best, and he had imagined that he might end up failing.
But he never expected that he would lose to a little girl, who was also her sister-in-law.
This is no longer a simple matter of a Cheng Yaojin appearing out of nowhere; it's even more unusual than a Tyrannosaurus Rex jumping out of the road!
Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. 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.
Akagi covered her mouth and smiled as she accompanied Xiaobai and Luo Lian back into the house.
"Akagi, what did you just say to them?" Shiro asked, quite curious about Akagi's strange reaction and the way the men looked as if the sky had fallen when they heard what Akagi said.
"I was just telling the truth." Akagi poked Shiro's nose with her finger. "I'm going back to the naval base to be a ship girl."
"Huh? Did you tell them you're a ship girl?"
"No, I put it another way." Akagi walked into the kitchen. "Oh right, Xiaobai, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? I'll make you some right away. Luo Lian, have you had breakfast? I'll make you some too."
"Thank you," Luo Lian said gratefully.
When helping Xiao Bai find Chi Cheng, Luo Lian had already given Chi Cheng's information, so Luo Lian knew that Chi Cheng was Xiao Bai's sister-in-law.
Let's ignore the fact that Xiaobai actually has many sisters-in-law, including the blonde guy from last time.
In short, this is an identity that Luo Lian needs to respect.
Luo Lian obediently followed Chi Cheng into the kitchen: "Would you like me to help you with the cooking?"
"Okay, little Luo Lian, what would you like to eat?"
"Anything is fine." Luo Lian's face showed a warm smile like sunshine.
……
When the food was served, Xiaobai stared in astonishment at the colorful dishes that were arranged in several small plates, each about half the size of a palm, in front of her.
"This is……"
"Hehe, I accidentally used a little too much force," Akagi laughed.
—This is far beyond just using a little force.
Xiao Bai looked at the so-called "breakfast" in front of him, which consisted of soup, rice, fried food, pickled food, fried fish, fried eggs, tofu, and tea.
