Even in the world of Kancolle, I want to drive a robot!

"What? You took advantage of me and you don't want to take responsibility!"

"..."

Xia Bai had no idea what St. Louis was thinking. He could only sigh that women's hearts were like needles in the sea and he couldn't delve into it any further.

So he stopped talking and just sat quietly on the bench, listening to St. Louis complaining about this and that with a smile on his face. Whenever the other party asked something, he just nodded.

"You took advantage of me, but you can't just let it go. You have to be responsible for me."

"Ah, yes, yes."

"Although you are not handsome, if you work hard, you can be worthy of me."

"Ah, yes, yes."

"It's not impossible for me to join your fleet, but I require enough respect, such as the position of secretary ship and a generous gift. I will also have a dowry."

"Ah, yes, yes."

Xia Bai seemed to have figured out the best way to communicate with the rich lady Baiying. Now, even if the other party said that 1 plus 1 equals 5, he would answer yes, yes, yes.

The early morning sun shone on the earth, covering the faces of the two people on the bench with a golden veil. More and more people came to the park, and when they saw the couple at this time, they couldn't help but smile.

The woman was strong and talkative, but the man kept smiling and tolerating everything about her, with doting in his eyes. One could not help but sigh that they were a match made in heaven.

But the fact is, when St. Louis was counting on his fingers to state the conditions, Xia Bai had already been daydreaming and could only nod and say yes, yes, yes.

"Finally, the price of crafting my oath ring cannot be less than 5000 red tips...Are you just trying to fool me?"

As if noticing that Xia Bai was absent-minded at the moment, St. Louis stared at the other's eyes suspiciously.

"Ah, right... Of course not. How could I possibly give you a perfunctory answer? Whatever you say is what it is."

Xia Bai answered calmly, thinking that only a fool would order a red-pointed vow ring for 5000 yuan. The vow ring he gave to Sheffield was only 600 yuan. He asked for a ring worth 5000 yuan without even looking in the mirror to see if he was worthy of it.

Besides, Xia Bai was not so naive as to think that St. Louis really wanted to join the Sakura Empire. Why would she be a rich woman in the White Eagles? Why did she come all the way to the Mingyang Sea? Just because she had a mecha?

Except for Warspite, who is obsessed with mechas, almost no other ship girl likes this kind of thing. Xia Bai is very aware of this. What St. Louis said now is almost the same as the previous "touch", which is all a joke.

Chapter 157 The King of Hard Talk

"You're still giving me the cold shoulder."

"It was absolutely not perfunctory. I took everything St. Louis said to heart."

"Really do not have?"

"Really do not have."

Looking at Xia Bai's face confidently, St. Louis nodded and spread out his little hands.

"Then pay. You're not going to ask me to pay for the 5000 red tips for the custom ring first, are you?"

Blinking his eyes, Xia Bai took out the box from the ship's space without blushing or beating his heart, patted his chest and said: "What I mean is that you should pay first. Now that I have paid, this should at least show that I am not perfunctory with you, right?"

He just didn't believe that St. Louis, which was as wealthy as a country, would really embezzle his little money. Xia Bai dared to bet that even if the other party took it now, they would probably return it tomorrow.

After opening the box and taking a quick look, St. Louis put it away and said seriously, "Okay, since you gave it to me, I will go to the Maritime Administration this afternoon to order a ring."

"Why wait until the afternoon? Isn't the Maritime Administration open 24 hours a day? Let's go now."

As soon as he said this, Xia Bai felt that he had won. Now the two of them were just competing to see who could talk harder. St. Louis and himself knew that this was impossible, but neither of them wanted to admit defeat.

St. Louis was not scared at all, and immediately replied, "That's right, the sooner you make the reservation, the sooner you can get the ring. Let's go back and change our clothes first."

Hearing this, Xia Bai's heart was filled with joy. He was 99% sure that St. Louis was scared and was looking for excuses to delay time and prepare to escape.

In order to make St. Louis accept the defeat sincerely, Xia Bai did not say much. He immediately said that what you said was right, and then they returned to the hotel together.

Perhaps because he didn't want to lose so badly, St. Louis also prepared a set of clothes for Xia Bai and told him to wear it.

In response to this, Xia Bai laughed, changed his clothes, and sat on the sofa in the hotel lobby, waiting for St. Louis to show up. He always prefers to lose the battle rather than the fight, and he believes that except Sheffield, no one has a harder mouth than him.

And with St. Louis's thick skin, she would just return her 5000 red coins and apologize to herself as soon as she got to the door of the Maritime Administration.

Just as Xia Bai was imagining how to mock St. Louis with the attitude of a winner, RX-16 and his companions slowly walked into the hotel lobby.

Seeing Xia Bai sitting on the sofa in the hall, he suddenly felt uneasy. Oh no, he sneaked to the bar last night and was discovered by his second brother.

The image of Xia Bai lecturing appeared in their minds. The three of them pushed each other, and none of them dared to face Xia Bai's anger.

"What are you still looking at? Come here!"

After hearing Xia Bai's voice, the three of them turned pale and timidly walked in front of him. Among them, RX-16 said, "Second brother, you got up so early, hahaha."

A strong smell of alcohol wafted from the three people. Xia Bai wrinkled his nose and said with a fake smile: "I didn't get up as early as you did. I'm afraid I didn't sleep last night. Where did I go?"

"Wine...bar."

Under the majesty of their elder brother, the three of them dared not hide anything. They just responded tremblingly and lowered their heads.

“Is the bar fun?”

"Well... no, it's not fun, it's just noisy like that. Don't worry, second brother, we won't go there next time."

After hearing Basaka's hesitant answer, Xia Bai sighed, waved his hand and said unhappily: "Forget it, you are all adults now, not the children you used to be. I can't put too many restrictions on what you want to do. Just remember to come back early next time."

"That's it. You guys go back and rest first. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll set off for New Covenant City tomorrow."

Hearing this, the three of them felt as if they had been pardoned. They entered the elevator without looking back, fearing that they would be kept back by Xia Bai and reprimanded if they were late.

"Alas, my little brother has grown up, and as his elder brother, I can no longer control him."

Looking at the backs of the three people, Xia Bai shook his head and leaned back on the sofa, staring at the luxurious carvings on the ceiling, his mind empty.

It's normal to like to play. The son of Prometheus has emotions and is not a cold weapon. Just because he doesn't like the smell of alcohol doesn't mean that Basaka and the others don't like it. The other party can already stand on their own in the battle with tolerance, so there is no need for Xia Bai to tell them many things. They know the limits themselves.

How should I put it? Xia Bai now always has a sense of relief that his children have grown up. Although he did not stay on Spland Island for a long time, he always cared about his younger brothers and sisters.

Perhaps this is what is called an old father?

Xia Bai smiled self-deprecatingly and accidentally saw a familiar figure walking out the door. After wiping his eyes to make sure he was not mistaken, he asked tentatively: "Hu Teng?"

Hearing someone calling him, Hu Teng turned around, found Xia Bai sitting on the sofa, and walked over quickly.

"Don't the sons of Prometheus need to sleep? I just saw 16 and the others go back to their rooms, and now Xia Bai you are sitting here again."

"..."

Seeing that Xia Bai didn't say anything and just stared at him blankly, Hu Teng frowned slightly and placed Su Bai's small hand in front of his eyes and waved it: "Hey, why are you distracted again?"

"Excuse me, are you really Hu Teng?"

"What do you think?" Hu Teng put his hands in the front pockets of his sweatshirt with a helpless expression and continued unhappily, "There has to be a limit to playing dumb. You won't be successful if you try to flirt with someone like this."

In Xia Bai's impression, Hu Teng is a ship girl who is full of mystery, rational and exudes the temperament of a queen, but now it seems that this is not the case.

At this time, Hu Teng was wearing a loose black sweatshirt with a shorter pleated skirt, revealing her smooth and silky thighs. She was carrying a small schoolbag on her back, just like a young and beautiful JK.

If the other party had not admitted her identity, Xia Bai really would not have believed that the girl in front of him was Hu Teng. Considering the literary girlish temperament she had when she wore glasses, could it be that Hu Teng was the kind of ship girl who looked like anything she wore?

At this point, Xia Bai said, "You look very different from yesterday after you changed your clothes. It's like you look a few years younger, so I didn't dare to confirm it."

Holding his forehead, Hu Teng sat down next to Xia Bai and said indifferently, "Your way of chatting up is too old-fashioned. The ship girl won't fall for it."

"However, for a 'regrettable' ship girl like me, it is still quite happy to receive praise from a strong man... By the way, where is New Jersey? Didn't she come to see you?"

Hu Teng was puzzled when he didn't see Miss Rabbit around Xia Bai. With New Jersey's personality, once he made a decision, he would do it immediately and would never procrastinate.

When Xia Bai heard the name New Jersey, he became very confused.

He now had reason to suspect that this poor guy from New Jersey wanted to borrow supplies from him. After all, the injuries she suffered yesterday were not as minor as they seemed.

Chapter 158: Hard talk is no match for sweet talk

"She is recovering in her room, why is she looking for me?"

Seeing that Xia Bai didn't seem to be lying but really didn't know, Hu Teng leaned on the sofa and explained: "Regarding the choice of future path... let's wait for New Jersey to come to you and tell you the details."

This is New Jersey's own idea, and she should be the one to speak for herself. Hu Teng has no interest in taking over the show, which would be too tactless.

Hearing this, Xia Bai no longer had the idea of ​​continuing to ask about this matter. Anyway, everything would be known after New Jersey got up, so he changed the subject and asked curiously, "Who is Hu Teng going to meet by dressing up like this?"

"I'm not going to meet anyone. I just want to change into some loose clothes. I can't say I'm dressing up carefully. I'm going to go back to the Maritime Administration to hand in my resignation. I'll go to Iron Blood after the matter in New York City is settled."

"Have you made up your mind to join the Iron Blood? That's right. After all, you are a G-country ship and have a close relationship with Frederick the Great."

Xia Bai was not surprised at all that Hu Teng might join Iron Blood. After all, the other party was a G country ship, and the ship's uniform was somewhat similar to that of Iron Blood, both with dark red steel dragon-shaped ship uniforms.

Perhaps it is God's will. Just like the J country ships with physical characteristics will join the Sakura Empire, it would be strange if the Iron Blood Xia Bai was not added to the Hu Teng's style of ship equipment.

The Sakura Empire has many beast ears, and the Iron Blood Empire has all dragons. This can be considered an important way to preliminarily judge the two major camps in this world.

"I just went to take a look at Bismarck's invitation. I have no intention of joining the Iron Blood..."

Gently playing with the hair near his ear, Hu Teng raised the corner of his mouth and continued with a smile, "Perhaps after I go to the Iron Blood, I will turn around and come to the Sakura Empire to join you."

Women's words are deceitful. Xia Bai declined Hu Teng's ambiguous words. "Why are you ship girls so bad-mannered? You always say things that make people imagine things. Don't you know that it's cruel to give people expectations and then ruthlessly break them?"

"Is it cruel... hehe~"

Hu Teng smiled softly and blinked his yellow eyes: "Expectation is a cup of tempting poison that drives countless people crazy. Even if the result is not satisfactory, it is better than having a heart full of emptiness."

"I don't understand. I don't care if you want to join my fleet or not."

"Really...you don't care?"

Xia Bai was stunned by Hu Teng's question. Because he was competing with St. Louis, he said this without thinking.

To be honest, he actually wanted Hu Teng to join the Sakura Empire, not because he was greedy for his body, but because this battleship was indeed very strong.

After a moment of silence and reflecting on his actions, Xia Bai changed his tone and said, "I admit that you are right. I hope you will join the Sakura Empire. However, this does not mean that I am interested in you. It's just that your strong strength is exactly what the Sakura Empire needs."

Hearing this, Hu Teng smiled sweetly, like the fragrant oleander, beautiful and poisonous, making people unable to help but fall for it.

"Don't run away from your heart, look at me."

Holding Xia Bai's head with both hands and forcing him to look into his eyes, Hu Teng said word by word: "Are you really not interested in me?"

"..."

At this point, Xia Bai no longer had to pretend to be a gentleman. He sighed and said, "Okay, I was just being stubborn before. Actually, I really like Hu Teng. Whether it's your short hair, your small breasts, your ever-changing temperament, or your disgusted expression...all of them make me unable to stop."

Hu Teng is a ship girl who can make Xia Bai's emotions fluctuate even under calm conditions. Her every frown and smile attracts him deeply, and every part of her body hits Xia Bai's strike zone.

He didn't know if this could be considered as liking her, but he was really greedy for Hu Teng's body. If possible, Xia Bai wanted to lick Hu Teng's soft thighs.

After hearing Xia Bai's confession, Hu Teng let go of his hand and frowned, his face seemed to be covered with frost, and he said in a cold voice: "Should I praise you for following your heart, or give you a lesson for breaking the rules..."

She had already heard about Xia Bai's true character, but she didn't expect him to speak so bluntly and shamelessly.

"I answered your questions very sincerely. Hu Teng, don't you just want to hear me admit this?"

Staring at Xia Bai's dark pupils, Hu Teng's expression softened, and some inexplicable emotions flashed across his eyes. He slowly said, "It's strange that you would be interested in a 'regrettable' guy like me."

"I have always been straightforward and never hide my desires. How tiring would life be if I had to hide even what I wanted?"

"You don't hide your desires... As expected, you are too dangerous and not suitable to live in the human world."

Those who disdain to hide their thoughts and speak their mind cannot survive in the human world, which is full of lies. Everyone wears a mask called "disguise" on their face, and only they themselves know what is underneath the mask.

If a naive person like Xia Bai lived among humans, he would definitely be beaten up by the "monster" called society. But judging from his strength, after being beaten up, Xia Bai would show his fangs and eat the entire "monster".

That's why Hu Teng said that Xia Bai is very dangerous. He is the type of person in the world who is least suitable to live with humans, and only ship girls can live with him.

"You make me sound like an outlaw, or an extremely dangerous one. I'm a law-abiding citizen, even though I'm an illegal resident."

Xia Bai smiled rather self-deprecatingly, stared at Hu Teng, and said seriously: "Now that we've come to this, what's your answer? If you don't want to join Sakura Empire, just reject me now and don't leave me any regrets."

"Closer..."

"what?"

"I'll let you stay closer to me."

"Okay, okay."

Seeing the other party's hesitation, Hu Teng impatiently grabbed his collar and kissed him while Xia Bai was stunned.

The soft lips came close to each other for a long time. Hu Teng wiped his moist and shiny lips and said lightly: "This is my answer. Once the mark is engraved, you are mine."

"I will go to Sakura Empire after I return from Iron-Blooded. Please don't let me down, Commander."

Who am I? Where am I? What did I say just now? Why did Hu Teng kiss me?

At this time, Xia Bai had not yet recovered from the sudden attack. He didn't understand why Hu Teng, whom he had just met yesterday, was so bold today.

Sister, you are so cool.
