After preventing the world from being destroyed, the ship girls started acting strangely.

The vampire paused, then said, "A more... more advanced method? Of course I know! I just... I just wanted to test you."

“I see. I knew it. The vampire should know.” You Ran thought for a moment, then continued, “Alright, vampire, sit on the bed and close your eyes.”

The vampire was a little confused: "Why are you closing your eyes?"

"Because only by closing your eyes can you better enjoy the essence." You Ran had just finished speaking when she saw the vampire's face turn red and she was about to speak, so she preemptively said, "I know, I know... This is just the vampire asking me to test me, right?"

"Hmm~ You, it's good that you know."

From the very beginning, she had planned to take the initiative and defeat the commander, but now she was completely on the defensive. The vampire didn't even know what to do next.

However, although it didn't achieve the desired result, it didn't matter, because the vampire suddenly realized that as long as he could be with the commander, he was actually quite satisfied with anything.

"They've already closed up, hurry up and come."

Sitting on the bed in a duck-like position, with a slightly flushed face, the vampire obediently closed his eyes.

......

Chapter 126 Commander, you're still a little reserved, aren't you?

After some time...

As time went by, from initial caution to current proficiency, the vampire grew increasingly proud under You Ran's guidance and praise.

Hmph! She knew it! She wasn't some low-level vampire. Although she had never drunk blood before, she could tell everything just by looking at the commander's comfortable demeanor.

As it turns out, she has an exceptional talent for bloodsucking; in just over ten minutes, she was able to make the commander experience ecstasy.

The thought of the commander coming over every day to harass her and let her drink his blood made the vampire excited, and as she thought about it, she even sucked and bit harder.

However, before the vampire could even begin to fantasize about the wonderful days to come, the commander's large hand, which had been stroking her head, suddenly tightened its grip. The vampire had barely come to her senses when she felt her face and mouth being filled with intense heat.

The vampire was startled, thinking that he had accidentally bitten the commander and made him bleed because he had been distracted.

Forgetting the strange taste in his mouth, the vampire hurriedly opened his eyes, anxiously trying to check his wounds, but what he saw was a gruesome scene he had never seen before.

Upon seeing this, the vampire was so frightened that he quickly let go of his little hand.

But soon, when the vampire realized that the scene in front of him belonged to the commander, he breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly felt that the part in front of him was actually quite cute. However, just as the vampire was about to go forward to check the wound, the commander suddenly put it away.

"Commander, what are you doing? Quickly check his wound. If you don't disinfect it soon, it could get infected." The vampire said anxiously.

"Uh... vampire... you don't even know this?" You Ran was clearly surprised.

Before, it seemed like the vampire was planning something to do to her, but now it seems like he knows nothing at all. You Ran suddenly feels a little guilty.

"What?! All I know is that you're bleeding. Quickly, let me see the wound. As a nurse, I know a little about medical matters. If it's not serious, I can lick it for you, Commander. After all, saliva can disinfect."

In a panic, the vampire immediately tried to pull down You Ran's pants.

"Wait, wait, wait!" Grabbing the vampire's small hand, You Ran said helplessly, "This... actually, you don't need to be so nervous, vampire. Those were just bruises, accumulated over a long period of time. It's a good thing that you were able to force them out, so there are no wounds at all."

"Yes, is that so?"

Blood stasis?

Upon hearing You Ran's words, the vampire paused for a moment, then subconsciously pursed his lips, only to realize that the taste in his mouth had a strange and indescribable sensation.

So this is what blood tastes like?

Although it wasn't fresh, the taste was actually quite good; it even seemed a bit better than red wine.

The vampire suddenly felt like taking another sip.

"Of course, this also proves that vampires are really powerful. Now, even if I don't want to admit that I am a vampire, I have to admit it."

I thought vampires knew everything, but it turns out they were just pretending to know everything. I suddenly felt a little strange and took out a tissue to wipe the vampire's face.

"This, um~" The vampire was happy to have his identity acknowledged by the commander, but also suddenly felt a little shy. "You, it's good that you know. In that case, Commander, don't forget to come and have your blood clots cleaned every now and then. Accumulating this stuff is really bad for your health. Don't suffer for nothing just to save face. If it were you, Commander, I wouldn't mind if you came every day..."

"Okay, I understand. If I feel unwell, I will definitely come to find the vampire. Don't worry, vampire." You Ran nodded.

Soon, after wiping the vampire's face clean, You Ran stayed with the vampire for a while longer. Then, considering that it was getting late, You Ran said goodbye to the vampire and walked towards the door.

As soon as he stepped outside, Hermione, who had been waiting at the door, came to greet him.

"What's the next item for inspection?" You Ran asked casually as she closed the door.

“The next item is a mental health check,” Hermione replied immediately, a glint of anticipation in her eyes.

"Mental health check?"

Hearing this, You Ran's expression turned strange. If he didn't know Hermione's personality, he would have thought this was a veiled criticism of him...

The infirmary wasn't big, but it wasn't small either. There were six rooms along a corridor, and Hermione soon led him to the innermost room on the left.

Upon entering the room, You Ran was initially puzzled to find no ship girls inside, but after seeing Hermione follow in, she understood.

"So Hermione is in charge of this inspection?" You Ran turned around and asked.

"Well, but Commander, you can think of this as a psychological counseling session, though instead of a check-up."

With that, Hermione placed You Ran's medical report on the desk, then quickly went to a sofa that was more spacious than a normal sofa. She looked at You Ran tenderly and patted her fair thighs that were visible between her nurse's uniform and over-the-knee socks.

"Commander, if you're ready, please come and lie down."

Is there any explanation for this type of physical examination?

Despite saying that, You Ran still lay down next to Hermione, after all, he hadn't enjoyed a lap pillow for a while since Charybdis.

"Because Hermione felt that this would make the Commander more relaxed." After slightly adjusting the position of Youran's head, Hermione began to massage him with both hands as she spoke.

"That's true."

Feeling the softness of Hermione's thighs, You Ran nodded in agreement, and then slowly closed her eyes as Hermione massaged her.

Seeing the commander gradually relax and begin to enjoy himself, Hermione felt a sense of satisfaction, and her tone became even gentler, "Commander~ You've just put down your work, so you're still a little hesitant to let loose, aren't you?"

"Um... I can't... let go...?"

???

Am I still considered reserved? I'm already very open-minded!

Hermione, do you have some misunderstanding about being unable to let go?

He doesn't even dare to imagine what he might do if things are allowed to continue like this.

After Hermione's comment, You Ran was momentarily speechless.

Chapter 127 Hermione Wants to Hear the Commander Call Hermione "Wife"~

"Um... Hermione, how did you figure that out?" You Ran asked after a moment's hesitation.

“Because when I arrived at the Knights today, I learned a lot from Vengeance and Vanguard, and everyone said… Commander, you were still a little hesitant when interacting with them.” Hermione said, recalling her conversation with Vengeance and the others that morning.

"Is that so? In what specific aspect are you referring to?"

Hermione suddenly blushed: "In...in terms of intimacy."

"I... I wouldn't say I was holding back, would I...?"

I really didn't expect Hermione to be talking about this aspect. You Ran turned her body slightly to the side, her expression a little embarrassed.

After all, you can't be too unrestrained in this kind of thing. If you are too unrestrained, they might not even be able to last half a round.

You Ran felt somewhat helpless about this.

Looking back on what happened last night, You Ran also felt a bit surprised.

To be honest, rationally speaking, including last night, he didn't initially intend to be frivolous.

But it's clear that since emerging from his sage state, many things are no longer under his control. After all, most of the time, Niu Niu probably understands what he wants better than he does, which is why many things have gradually taken a darker turn.

While You Ran may have been somewhat restrained for a while, he has now come to understand that the stereotypes about him held by the girls in the port over the past thirty years are still too strong, to the point that many ship girls still feel a sense of unreality regarding his transformation.

Therefore, this is the time to launch a fierce attack, so that the ship girls can have a deeper understanding of themselves and no longer feel confused or hesitant.

Well, this is the reason his brain came up with for Niu Niu. There's no way around it; he has to listen to one of the two, so many things just happened naturally.

However, it turned out that this approach was quite effective. The ship girls were noticeably more confident afterward. Even the usually timid Royal Oak would occasionally fawn over him instead of just hiding far away like before, not daring to approach him even when she was watching.

This is exactly the effect You Ran wanted.

"Of course, that means we're not being able to let loose. Actually, Commander, do you know that the reason we want to be intimate with you is partly because we want to become closer to you, and partly because we want to make you happy? So, although your tenderness makes us feel warm inside, that's precisely why we want you not to feel restrained. Ship girls aren't that fragile. Even if we faint, it'll be because of you, Commander, that we fainted happily."

Hermione spoke slowly, and her gentle voice made You Ran feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Before You Ran could speak, Hermione hesitated for a moment, a blush spreading across her face, before continuing, "Besides... I once heard the head maid say that Commander, you were much more open before, for example... you would call ship girls you met for the first time... you know, 'wife' or something like that..."

Actually, when Hermione first heard the head maid mention this, she was a little skeptical. After all, ever since the Commander created her, he had been solely focused on his work and research, and his aloof and unapproachable personality had left a deep impression on her. Hermione simply couldn't believe that the Commander had been such an approachable person before.

However, as time went by, and after getting to know many of the ship girls in the port, Hermione gradually came to believe it. It was from that moment that Hermione made up her mind that one day, she would make the Commander truly open his heart to everyone.

Now, although it's unclear why the Commander has finally agreed to put his work aside, this is undoubtedly an opportunity for Hermione.

"So Hermione wants to hear me shout?"

Hearing Hermione mention this, You Ran couldn't help but sigh at how fast time had passed. In the blink of an eye, more than thirty years had gone by. Just a few months ago, he felt that there was not enough time at all, but now he never expected that he could live such a leisurely life.

While You Ran was still reminiscing, Hermione seemed to have her secret exposed; her face flushed slightly, and her expression instantly became flustered: "This... I, how could I dare to try to take your warmth? It's just... it's just everyone..."

"So who is it that can't let go right now?" Lying on Hermione's lap, You Ran wanted to look at Hermione, but when she opened her eyes, she found that apart from being able to more intuitively appreciate the size of Hermione's bridge base, she couldn't see anything else.

So You Ran simply sat up, and then looked at Hermione in front of her. "Hermione, look at me, and now tell me what you want me to call you?"

"I...I want to hear you call me...Commander..." Hermione's eyes darted away, but she eventually obediently looked into You Ran's eyes, a rare blush appearing on her face. "Call me...Wife..."

Hermione didn't quite understand the word when she first heard it, but after learning about it from Yi Xian and the others in Donghuang, she found herself liking it.

This simple, enduring feeling is exactly what Hermione is looking for, and it's also the nickname she most wants to hear the Commander use to address her.

However, she never imagined this day would come so soon, and Hermione is clearly still a little unprepared.

“Say it again, including the subject, verb, and object.” Looking at Hermione’s beautiful face, You Ran continued.
