The other party's idea is very strange. What can Xia Bai want from Yixian? Is he after his body or to take Donghuang into his pocket? He is the one who was found.
"If you think so, then so be it. I don't intend to refute your strange ideas, nor do I want to deal with your hostility... It's really inexplicable that you can't say that you are a Chinese these days."
Since they couldn't continue the conversation, Xia Bai muttered softly, planning to leave directly to talk to Nagato and Amagi about what had happened during this period.
Or maybe he could go to Noshiro and Shokaku to exchange feelings, wouldn't that be a hundred times better than arguing here? But Zhenhai's next words made his blood pressure rise again.
"You think I know your mind? Haha~ The commander of the Sakura Empire is just like them, living in filth and distortion. Apart from his sinister and cruel mind, there is nothing worth bragging about."
Stopping in his tracks, Xia Bai turned around and stared at Zhen Hai, saying word by word with a blank expression, "Do you have the guts to say it again?"
Noticing that the atmosphere was full of gunpowder, Yixian quickly persuaded: "Zhenhai, stop talking!"
"Yixian, do you think that so many coincidences put together are really reasonable?"
"Don't take your conspiracy theories as facts. They are just speculations."
After teaching Zhenhai a lesson, Yixian turned to Xia Bai and said, "I'm sorry, she didn't mean to target you, she just thinks differently and takes all aspects into consideration."
"I and the other Eastern Glory shipgirls don't think much of it, and we have never looked down on the Sakura Empire."
Yixian knew Xia Bai's temper very well. No matter how the ship girls attacked him, he would not get angry, but the key point was not to involve the Sakura Empire or the Royal Family.
These two families are currently his ship girls. People are protective of their shortcomings and have an unreasonable preference for ship girls. Zhenhai's words are undoubtedly out of line. If something really happens at this critical moment, no one will help Donghuang.
"Okay, I'll give you face, Yixian, and not pursue the matter any further... Remember to keep your men's mouths shut, and next time I'll let them know what to say and what not to say."
Because of Zhenhai, Xia Bai's perception of Yixian was a little worse, but he still suppressed his anger and planned to let the matter go.
"Even if you say it ten thousand times, the truth will not change. You and the Sakura Empire are just beasts that cannot be on the stage..."
'boom--'
Before Yixian could say anything, Xia Bai suddenly jumped up, grabbed Zhenhai's swan-like long neck, and pushed her heavily against the wall. The white wall continued to crack due to the huge force, and the cracks spread in all directions.
With a frosty face, Xia Bai pinched Zhenhai's neck with one hand. Light particles appeared behind him, and the arm of the God of Glory quickly condensed. He said in a stern voice: "You are very brave... Do you really think I won't kill the ship girl?"
"Xia Bai, don't!"
Seeing this, Yixian wanted to step forward and separate the two, but the aura emanating from the mecha arm made her dare not move at all.
She knew that if she dared to move, she would be hit mercilessly.
"Ahem...Are you angry out of shame? Did I hit a sore spot for you?"
"Apologize now and I won't kill you."
Breathing was a little difficult, but Zhenhai's expression showed no fear or panic. He stared at Xia Bai and said, "Apologize... ahem, that's ridiculous."
"I've never heard of someone who holds the truth apologizing to a beast. You don't deserve my apology."
Xia Bai lowered his head, his eyes flashing with danger, and said calmly: "I can tell you that it doesn't matter whether Donghuang is there or not when attacking the Solomon Line."
"I won't pay any price for killing you. At most, I'll just feel sorry for the death of such a blind ship girl. Donghuang's stay or departure will not affect the battle plan at all."
"After saying so much, why don't you take action... Don't let me continue to look down on you." With a teasing and mocking look on his face, Zhenhai continued to provoke.
Noticing that Xia Bai had grabbed Zhenhai's hand and started to use force, Tiancheng and Nagato, who were hiding in the dark, could no longer hold back and hurried out.
"Wait, Master, don't take it seriously. This is our arrangement."
"Well, this is a test we specially devised to help Zhenhai understand what kind of person the commander is."
"what?"
Letting go of Zhenhai, Xia Bai said with a strange expression: "You said these were all your tests?"
Nodding, Tiancheng bowed slightly and said: "That's right, what Zhenhai said is also what Tiancheng thought would most anger the master, the purpose is..."
"Let Donghuang's shipgirls better understand what kind of person the master is. Of course, this is just a private discussion between us and Zhenhai, and Miss Yixian is not aware of it."
"This is a bit too radical..." Although Tiancheng explained the whole story, Xia Bai still didn't quite understand.
He thought that these ship girls were all involved in something. If they wanted to know what kind of person he was, couldn't they just talk to each other properly? It was still early, and they would always have a deeper understanding of each other when they were together in the White Eagle Port Area.
Slowly walking over to Zhenhai and helping her up, Tiancheng patted her on the back and replied, "Maybe it was a bit extreme, but this is what Miss Zhenhai meant."
"Commander, do you still remember the three letters and six ceremonies? She wanted to use this method to see if you are worthy of Donghuang entrusting Yixian to you."
Upon hearing this, Yixian's face suddenly turned red, and he said in an inaudible voice: "So that's how it is, it's obviously just my own business."
"You are the leader of Donghuang. What should we do if you get married? We can only resort to this last resort to test whether he is qualified to carry Donghuang."
Zhenhai smoothed his chest uncomfortably, looked at Xia Bai and said slowly: "Actually, I'm not very satisfied with your performance. You are too easily angered, which is different from what I imagined."
"But being brave and good at fighting is not contradictory to being reckless. Considering your love and care for the people around you, I'll give you a passing grade."
"Go back and prepare the three letters and six gifts... I will leave Donghuang and Yixian in your hands."
Chapter 176 Zhenhai: I think he is not like a human ruler
After clearing up the misunderstanding, Xia Bai lifted Nagato with one hand and pulled Tiancheng's ear with the other hand and left awkwardly. Judging from the way he was mumbling, Yixian estimated that the two foxes would be in trouble when they returned.
Seeing that everyone had left, Yixian did not stay here any longer and took Zhenhai back to the temporary residence arranged for him by Baiying.
Although the room where Enterprise lives is modern and simple, they have taken all aspects into consideration when dealing with other allies in Azur Lane.
For example, the tatami mats and wooden doors of the Sakura Empire, and the luxurious style of the royal family are all reflected in the arranged dormitories, and the same is true for Donghuang.
In addition to classical calligraphy and paintings and decorative jars, the room of each Donghuang ship girl is decorated in an antique style, with candles and sunken wood, which is elegant and grand.
"Sister Yixian, Sister Zhenhai...did the meeting go smoothly?" Seeing the two people enter the room, Haitian put down the book in his hand, stood up and asked softly.
Nodding slightly, Yixian said: "Although there are many disputes among colleagues, we are all working towards the same direction, and it is going smoothly, but..."
Thinking of Zhenhai's unauthorized action, Yixian's cheeks flushed and there seemed to be resentment in his eyes.
"But what?"
Yixian shook his head and said, "It's nothing, Haitian doesn't need to worry about it."
The ship girls of Donghuang all call each other sisters, and there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates. After living together for a long time, how could the leader's thoughts be hidden from Haitian.
Seeing Yixian's face blushing and shy, Haitian immediately understood what was going on. He smiled and said, "I'll make some tea for you. Please tell me what happened in the meeting."
Yixian wanted to call out to Haitian who seemed excited, but he walked out of the room in a moment. His throat moved, and he finally put away the thought and slowly sat down on the bench.
"Zhenhai, you're always imagining things. You can't bring up something that hasn't even happened yet and talk to Nagato and the others about it."
Sitting next to Yixian, Zhenhai touched the place where Xia Bai had pinched him some time ago. A purple bruise was clearly visible on the swan-like slender neck.
"Man proposes, God disposes...Yixian, you should understand that this person is not as simple as he looks. It's nothing more than a test. It's not a big deal."
Yixian also saw the bruises on Zhenhai's neck. Feeling a little sad, he took out a special medical kit for ship girls from the ship's space, applied ointment on her, and bandaged her carefully.
"You don't have to worry about my affairs. The three books and six ceremonies are just a joke. He...Xia Bai would never do that."
Raising his eyebrows, Zhenhai teased, "A joke? I'm afraid he thinks it's a joke. Yixian, you don't think so. Deep down in your heart, you actually want to marry him if he dares to give it to you."
"I......"
"You don't have to refute it so soon. We have all seen how hard Yixian has worked for so many years. Now that he wants to pursue his own life, no one dares to say no. But we have to check whether that person is a good match for him."
Interrupting Yixian's hesitation, Zhenhai asked with a smile in his eyes, "Or does Yixian want to abandon us and go to his place alone?"
Thinking back to Donghuang's past, Yixian waved his hand and said, "No, no, I told you, this is just a joke."
"No matter what the outcome is, I will not abandon you...Besides, he has no interest in me."
Boring? Zhenhai thought that was not necessarily the case. There was no normal man in the world who would not be attracted to Yixian.
Needless to say, her appearance is very good. Even among the ship girls, Yixian is at the top of the list. Her personality is gentle and affectionate on the outside, but confident and strong on the inside. Her gentleness is completely different from that of the Yamato Nadeshiko from J country.
When you are with her, you will always feel the warmth of the spring breeze in March, and her gentle and graceful manners are even more amazing. She is outstanding in ability and smart, and can be said to be the perfect choice for the synonym of "virtuous wife".
The only people who are not attracted to Yixian are probably men with abnormal sexual orientation or eunuchs. Is Xia Bai one of the first two? That's definitely not the case.
Xia Bai now has many wives and concubines, and Zhenhai has heard the funny stories of Shokaku and the others in the boudoir in Sakura Empire. That guy's "night combat" ability is not inferior to his own famous bravery.
Thinking of this, Zhenhai lowered his head in embarrassment, thinking that the ship girls of Sakura Empire were really weird and dared to say anything.
Zhenhai quickly adjusted his mind, folded his long beautiful legs, and said seriously: "Maybe Yixian, you only have a good impression of him, not love him."
"As the Art of War says: Plan before you act... Just a good impression of him is enough for me to test his character. And based on this test, I can only give him a passing grade."
"First of all, from what I have learned from all aspects of the Sakura Empire, this man is greedy and avaricious. None of the shipgirls around him have escaped his clutches."
"What beautiful feet? I don't follow the rules. I have a certain fetish, for example..." Zhenhai said in a deep voice, and pulled the cuffs of the long black stockings embroidered with lace with his soft hands on her legs.
"It is rumored that he loves this thing deeply... This may also have something to do with 'beautiful feet'. Although he tried his best to hide it, you should be able to feel that he looks at people from the bottom up."
"And the sight line at the bottom is slightly longer than that at the top... Of course, he also knows how to respect the word, and will not look at it again after a few glances."
Looking at his own plump legs that were as white as snow, Yixian nodded undeniably and whispered in agreement: "That's right, his gaze is indeed a little strange... I was confused before, but it turns out it's because of his preference."
If Xia Bai heard Zhenhai's criticism of his XP here, he would definitely refute it vigorously and complain about why his wedding ship told everything to others.
Why did my XP evolve into something that everyone knows about? Shouldn't this be a little interest between me and my wife?
"Secondly, this man is an outlier among commanders. Although he is unrivaled in courage and bravery, he is not good at strategy."
Slowly raising two white fingers, Zhenhai continued, "This is what it means to be brave but not wise. You can charge into battle as a vanguard general, but you cannot lead an army and sit in the tent."
"And his identity is the commander. Leading the troops can boost morale, but a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. If something goes wrong on the battlefield, the army will lose its morale and be unable to fight again."
Everyone in Donghuang has experienced this deeply. When they were dressed up for battle, they were working with the Sakura Empire to clear out the Sirens. When they learned of Xia Bai's death, the foxes went crazy.
Especially the crazy look of Akagi, with red flames rising, burning the sky and boiling the sea. That "end of the world" scene is still firmly imprinted in the minds of the Donghuang ships.
These two updates are posted today. I guessed that my brothers might have some doubts, so I didn’t dare to read the posts.
As expected, this chapter has become the one with the most in-depth comments since it was released.
First of all, I would like to apologize to everyone. I don’t know if the readers who deleted the book and left can see it. Then I will explain the reason why I wrote it this way.
Except for g.hs, the characters have their own action trajectories, and any interactions and actions can be traced.
At this time, some brothers will definitely ask, "Aren't you an idiot, Zhenhai, who has no emotional intelligence at all, can't see the situation clearly, and is testing this and that. And you, Nagato and Amagi, are helping outsiders to test their commanders, are you going to rebel?"
Well... let me explain a little bit. This is a problem with my writing style. In fact, the part starting from when each camp arrived at the White Eagle Port area is just a small plot. My habit is to lay the groundwork first and explain why in the subsequent text.
In other words, it is the so-called "foreshadowing", but this foreshadowing is extremely clumsy and gives everyone a bad impression. I apologize again here.
Some brothers may ask, you know you are clumsy, why do you still lay the groundwork?
There's nothing I can do. I'm not good at writing but I love to write. I wanted to give you some new and interesting ideas to improve the viewing experience, but I didn't expect that I would end up making things worse.
I am used to putting some things into the dialogue between characters. For example, in order to make the Royal New Color appear less abrupt, I mentioned through Warspite a long time ago that the Royal has a ship girl of the same level as New Jersey (if New Color is not a battleship, just treat me as an idiot)
Therefore, this part of the plot is also a recycling of the previous events.
The reason why I opened a separate chapter to explain it now is because I found that my brothers felt puzzled and even heartbroken after reading these chapters. I would like to mention here that it will be like this in the future until the end of this short plot.
It would be great if I could surprise you.
In short, please believe that the character's personality and course of action will not change, he/she will be what he/she should be.
Of course, in order to avoid being scolded, I have two suggestions for you as a newbie.
1. You don’t have to read on for now. Wait until this part of the story is finished, then read it all in one go about a week and a half later, and you’ll understand it.
2. Newbies do have drafts saved, and they can be released all at once tomorrow.
I'll adopt the one with the most comments. I don't know if there are still readers willing to read it. After all, some people have deleted their books and left QAQ.
Finally, I have to say one more thing, this book will not have a bad ending, so please feel free to subscribe!
Chapter 177: Deserve the Word "Excellent"
In Donghuang’s dormitory.
The dim light illuminated the two girls with long black hair that fell to their waists, making their already beautiful faces even more charming.
Her face is like a lotus, her eyebrows are like willows, her skin is like cream, her breath is like orchid, her every move shows the demeanor of a lady from a noble family, and she has the gentle charm of a trickle of water.
The girl in a white floral cheongsam looked hesitant, with her hands tightly clenched across her chest, as if she was conflicted. The other girl had a cold and serious expression, with her long sleeves waving as she talked freely.
No matter what Yixian is thinking, Zhenhai is very concerned about her lifelong affairs and is currently discussing the shortcomings he discovered during the test for her reference.
"From the fact that I provoked him to kill, I can tell that this person is obsessed with beauty and forgets about personal gain. He is arrogant and reckless, and he does not care about the consequences when he is impulsive."
"Of course, this may be an advantage for us shipgirls. Such a protective man is worthy of trust. But he is not only a man, but also a commander, and now he is vaguely the backbone of the five major camps."
"As the backbone, he was restless and confused in the meeting room. He even left the meeting on the pretext of being upset and talked about the ship girl with Royal Wales outside the door. It can be said that he did not distinguish the importance of the situation, and it was difficult to distinguish right from wrong."
