Elder brother's garrison

Sukhbaatar was jolted back to reality by Xiaobai's shaking. She shook her head and finally remembered what had happened to her. Then she glared at Xiaobai and said, "Little girl, it's time to ask some serious questions. How come you have my power?"

"Lord Su's power?" Xiao Bai was taken aback, then thought for a moment, "Ah, because I've eaten Lord Su's ship equipment."

"Huh?" Sukhbaatar's body trembled slightly, then he hugged his shoulders and started to shiver. "Where did you come from, you greedy snake that eats ship equipment?"

"...It was you, Lord Su, who told me to eat it."

"What the heck?" Sukhbaatar was startled again.

"..." Xiaobai nodded.

Why should I feed you ship equipment when we're not even related?

"You are my ship girl."

"???" Sukhbaatar was completely bewildered. "You're already making arrangements for me?"

Xiao Bai sighed inwardly as he looked at Sukhbaatar, who seemed completely bewildered.

Although Xiaobai knew that Sukhbaatar definitely didn't recognize him, he still had a sliver of hope in his heart. For example, how wonderful it would be if Sukhbaatar in front of him had traveled through time to find him.

However, after this brief conversation, Xiaobai confirmed that Sukhbaatar in front of him was probably a completely limited-edition ship girl.

"Lord Sukhbaatar, would you believe me if I said I came from the future?" Xiao Bai said seriously to Sukhbaatar in front of him.

Upon hearing Xiaobai's words, Sukhbaatar, who was sitting on the water and shivering, was initially taken aback, and then looked around at Xiaobai's body with a suspicious expression.

Sukhbaatar thought for a moment, then straightened up and cautiously asked Little White, "Will I be admired by the whole world in the future, enjoying all the riches and glory?"

"Uh...no."

Sukhbaatar landed on the water with a splash, his dream shattered.

"Lord Su?"

"Hmm, I'm listening. You're from the future, aren't you? I believe you." Sukhbaatar looked at the sky with a completely uninterested expression.

"...You believed it so easily?"

“That’s right, otherwise how would you explain having my power within you?” Sukhbaatar sat up while scratching his head, looking at Little White with a complicated expression.

Unexpectedly, after just a short trip to the sea to catch fish, he encountered a person from the future who was connected to him, and Sukhbaatar couldn't help but marvel at the coincidence of fate.

"Speaking of which, how many years in the future did you travel here from?" Sukhbaatar asked.

"...Uh, a few, several hundred years later?"

"Oh ho." Sukhbaatar thought for a moment and nodded.

At least knowing that I'm going to live a long life isn't all bad news.

"I understand, come on." Sukhbaatar stood up from the sea, sighed, and looked into the depths of the ocean.

"Come?"

"Didn't you come here to find ship girl technology?"

"Eh? That's right... Lord Su, how did you know?"

"Hmph, I am the world's most powerful and the world's most intelligent super ship girl. This little thing is easy for me to figure out." Sukhbaatar revealed a confident smile and stood there smugly. She pointed her finger at Little White, "In the future, humanity will win, right?"

"Oh... um."

"How can humans win without ship girls? You're probably here to learn ship girl technology, right?" Sukhbaatar said to Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai thought for a moment, nodded, and then paused, surprised: "Eh? Lord Su, do you know where the ship girl technology is?"

"What kind of question is that? Of course I know the answer," Sukhbaatar pointed to herself and said to Shiro, "Because I am a ship girl."

Xiao Bai looked at Sukhbaatar and finally realized what was going on.

This is a generational gap! Humans haven't even acquired ship girls yet, so where did Sukhbaatar come from?

As Xiaobai looked at Sukhbaatar's retreating figure, his eyes suddenly filled with hope.

—In other words, Sukhbaatar is the one who accurately knows the source of the ship girls' technology.

The will of the deep sea is truly not deceiving me; ship girl technology resides within the territory of the deep sea!

Chapter 479 My Amazing Kid

On the vast, boundless black sea, the subtle afterglow of the explosion was still slowly rising, and a slightly salty, damp vapor kept bubbling up from the black water, occasionally bringing out one or two fish that had already turned belly up.

Little White and Sukhbaatar walked one after the other on the sea. The temperature was so hot that Little White felt uncomfortable and had no desire to talk, so after they started walking, Little White didn't speak to Sukhbaatar anymore.

They walked slowly, and when the sun gradually turned red, like a heavy apple slowly sinking towards the sea surface, Xiaobai slowly left the sea area that had been blasted by the will of the deep-sea girl.

As the sauna-like heat around them gradually subsided and finally cooled down, Xiaobai let out a soft breath.

Sukhbaatar tilted his head and glanced in Xiaobai's direction.

“Little girl, I haven’t asked your name yet,” Sukhbaatar asked.

"My name is Lu Lin."

“Oh, not a bad name.” Sukhbaatar nodded.

Xiao Bai felt that his name was a bit too ordinary.

“There was a huge explosion in the sea area here before. Do you know what happened?” Sukhbaatar put his hands behind his head.

"Ah...that's...the will of the deep sea detonated the ocean," Xiaobai said.

Sukhbaatar paused, turning to look at Xiaobai in surprise: "What is the Will of the Deep Sea?"

"Eh? Lord Su, you don't know about the Will of the Deep Sea either?"

"I do know about the Deepsea Amphibious Ship," Sukhbaatar said, looking at Xiaobai with a strange expression. "As for the Deepsea Will..."

Sukhbaatar pondered for a moment, then finally gave up thinking. She looked up at the sky, which was slowly darkening: "There are so many unknown things in the world..."

"Yeah," Xiaobai replied casually, then looked around.

After slowly leaving the area where the explosion occurred, deep-sea amphibious ships could be seen floating around occasionally again.

It seems that the deep-sea will within Xiaobai's mental world has stopped its strike. This time, the deep-sea ships did not approach Xiaobai again, but treated her as one of their own.

Xiao Bai looked at Sukhbaatar with some curiosity: "Lord Sukhbaatar, won't the Deepsea Ark attack you?"

“They won’t attack,” Lord Su said to Xiaobai. “I am invincible. Ah, speaking of which, they don’t attack you either.”

"Hahaha..." Xiaobai chuckled dryly a few times.

"The people of the future are truly amazing. Not only can they evade deep-sea amphibious ships, but they can also walk on the water like ship girls." Sukhbaatar glanced at Xiaobai several times, then thoughtfully looked away, muttering softly.

"Lord Su, where is the ship girl technology?"

“We’ll be there soon, in another four or five days,” Sukhbaatar said.

"Huh? Is it that far?"

“The ocean is five times bigger than the land,” Sukhbaatar said, rubbing the back of his head. He then turned to Little White with a mysterious smile. “Don’t underestimate the ocean.”

Xiao Bai's stomach started hurting again.

Four or five days, and counting the time to get back to the human city, it will probably take half a month. Little White doesn't have much dry food and jerky left, so he might have to live frugally for the next half month.

Little White touched its belly and looked around at the dark sea.

"Can I fish?" Xiaobai asked.

“You humans probably can’t eat that,” Sukhbaatar said with a grin.

Xiao Bai nodded dejectedly and lowered his hand.

Suddenly, Xiaobai felt someone take her drooping hand. She looked down and saw the Deep Sea Lolita Will, who had been missing all day, standing at her feet, smiling as she took Xiaobai's hand.

"Ah," Xiaobai exclaimed instinctively.

Sukhbaatar, who was walking in front of Xiaobai, was attracted by Xiaobai's voice and turned her head to look in Xiaobai's direction.

She immediately discovered the will of the deep-sea girl that had not existed before.

"Huh? Where did this child come from?" Sukhbaatar asked in surprise.

"Ah, Lord Su, that's exactly what you were asking about. She is the Will of the Deep Sea," Xiaobai quickly introduced to Sukhbaatar.

“Deep Sea Will…” Sukhbaatar stopped in her tracks. She turned around, walked to Little White, and looked at the Deep Sea Will standing beside Little White. “I thought it was some kind of dark shadow, but it turns out to be just a little kid. Was she the one who caused that explosion this morning?”

"Yes," Xiaobai said shyly, "it was to protect me."

"Protect you? What's your relationship with her?"

"Mom!" The Deep Sea Little Girl showed no fear of strangers. When Sukhbaatar asked her about her relationship with Little White, she smiled, raised her hand that was clasped with Little White's, hugged Little White's waist, and called out happily.

Sukhbaatar was taken aback, then looked at Little White with a rather subtle expression.

It was as if they had witnessed a political marriage or some other strange ritual sacrifice.

"Uh... Lord Su, why do you think of me like that?"

“…The girls of the future are having children at such a young age.” Sukhbaatar said with a sorrowful expression. “You haven’t even fully grown up yet. Who could bear to do such a beastly thing? This kind of bastard race should be destroyed.”

"Cough cough cough." Little White waved her hand quickly, "No, no, the Deep Sea Will was not born of me."

"Aren't you her mother?"

Sukhbaatar's question stumped Xiaobai.

Whether the will of this deep-sea baby girl is truly that of her own daughter remains to be seen.

In a sense, she acquired her own genes and grew into a human form using those genes, so from that perspective, she is indeed related to her by blood.

However, even if they are related by blood, they are not necessarily mother and daughter. They might even be considered one's younger sister. Besides, it's actually quite similar to cloning, just the difference between the mother and the clone.

Just as Xiaobai was thinking, he felt his hand being pulled a few times by the will of the deep-sea little girl.

Xiao Bai looked down and found that the deep-sea little girl's dark, bright eyes were looking at him with hopeful eyes.

Xiao Bai softened her heart.

“…Uh…I guess so.” Xiaobai thought for a while and then confirmed the result. “But she became like this because she obtained my genes and memories. She wasn’t born from me.”

At this point, Xiaobai briefly explained the situation to Sukhbaatar.

After listening, Sukhbaatar looked at Xiaobai with surprise: "Oh... the world is full of wonders."

"She disappeared after using that explosive skill. I guess she just rested and then reappeared from the sea." Xiaobai explained to Sukhbaatar while squatting down in front of the Deep Sea Lolita's Will, carefully examining her face.

The Deep Sea Loli's will is black hair and black eyes, just like before she was infected by the ship's equipment. Her features do bear a slight resemblance to Xiaobai, but that's about it; they don't look exactly alike. Perhaps not all of her genes were copied during the gene-copying process.

"Ah, speaking of which, Deep Sea Will, besides unleashing that powerful attack you used before, can you do anything else?" Xiaobai looked at the Deep Sea Lolita Will's face, and suddenly seemed to remember something. She asked the Deep Sea Lolita Will, "Like, carrying us around or something?"

"Hmm!" As expected, the will of the deep-sea girl nodded.

“That’s great.” Xiaobai smiled and looked at Sukhbaatar. “Lord Sukhbaatar, could you tell the Deep Sea Will the direction of our destination? She can take us with her.”

“It’s possible, but can she actually do it?” Sukhbaatar asked with some curiosity.

"She's amazing." Xiaobai nodded.

Having witnessed the snap of the Deep Sea Lolita's will, Xiaobai firmly believes in the infinite possibilities contained within the Deep Sea Lolita's will.

“Oh… I don’t really care.” Sukhbaatar walked up to the Will of the Deep Sea, then whispered something in her ear.

Despite her childlike appearance and quiet demeanor, the Deep Sea Girl's Will claims to possess all the languages ​​in Xiaobai's memories, making it easy for her to understand Sukhbaatar's words.

Sure enough, after Sukhbaatar finished speaking, the Deep Sea Lolita's Will nodded and then pounced into Xiaobai's arms with a thud.

The will of the deep-sea girl raised her hands and pointed in one direction.

As she moved, the seawater beneath Xiaobai and Sukhbaatar's feet rose with a rumble. Then, just as Xiaobai used the grass as a means of transportation in the spiritual world, the seawater, filled with deep-sea resentment, transformed into a palm, lifting them up and propelling them swiftly in one direction.

"Wow, that's really something! So impressive! Awesome!" Sukhbaatar climbed onto the palm formed by the seawater, watching the speed increase by more than ten times compared to walking, and feeling the scenery around her stretch out into long strips in an instant. She couldn't help but laugh excitedly.

The Deep Sea Will's dominion over the ocean is indeed just like Xiaobai's dominion over his own mental world—supreme and utterly capricious.

Xiaobai and Sukhbaatar rode on the palm of the Deep Sea Maiden's Will, speeding across the sea. As the night gradually passed and the sun rose again, the palm beneath them slowly came to a stop.

Following the direction indicated by Sukhbaatar, the will of the Deep Sea Maiden transported Little White and the others to the depths of the ocean, to a vast expanse of water.

With a splash, the palm returned to the sea, and Little White and Sukhbaatar landed on the surface of the water.

Chapter 480 The Origin of Ship Girls

After nearly a day of rapid movement, Xiaobai and her friends arrived at a place quite far from the coast.

Xiaobai embraced the will of the deep-sea girl beside him, stood on the water's surface, and surveyed the surroundings.
