Chapter 72: Subtle Changes in Mentality

"Strange ceiling... like the style of Shokaku's room?"

With his eyes open, Xia Bai stared at the wooden beams in deep thought. Just as he was about to stand up, he felt something soft like cotton rubbing against his left arm, and his body froze.

This size is definitely not Sheffield's. Sheffield does not have such a scale. It is definitely not Sirius and Terrible, because they are not as big as them.

So he was sure who it was. He slowly turned his head to the side and saw Shokaku looking at him with seductive eyes. It seemed that his previous action had awakened the other party.

"Won't you sleep a little longer, Commander?"

Before Xia Bai could respond, Xianghe pulled him into his arms, apparently not wanting him to leave.

His head was buried in the mountain peaks, and the tempting aroma kept coming, making Xia Bai lose his mind and bite it.

"Hmm... Commander, don't worry. We still have plenty of time."

Patting Xia Bai's back like soothing a baby, Xianghe coaxed him gently.

Since Xia Bai will go to take over Sakura Empire, she has to take action first, otherwise those 'beasts' overwhelmed by desire will rush over and she won't be able to eat even the leftovers.

After hearing Shokaku's gentle yet seductive words, Xia Bai no longer wanted to think about anything. Let her be the Sea King, he now wanted to defile the beautiful white crane in front of him.

......

After finishing, Xia Bai lay on the bedding, staring blankly at the ceiling. If the situation did not allow it, he would like to light a cigarette and think about his life.

What has he done? He and Shokaku have only met less than five times in total. Although she has become his ship girl, it is too shameful for him to do such a thing.

Thinking of Xianghe's melodious and loud crane cry beneath him, and his tearful appearance, a sense of guilt quietly crept up Xia Bai's spine and quickly spread throughout his body.

Because he felt so good that he even wanted to do it again.

Finally...he finally became the kind of person that everyone hated before, the kind of person who couldn't control his lower body and claimed that he would share his feelings equally with everyone.

After defeating the evil dragon, the dragon slayer was also stained with unclean and filthy blood, causing him to gradually grow scales and gradually change into the appearance of a dragon.

Gradually...walking into the abyss of sin.

"Commander, look at me."

"Commander, please take a look at Shokaku~"

Xia Bai, who was daydreaming and doubting his life, was brought back to reality by Shokaku's voice and turned to look at him.

There were traces of tears on Xianghe's pretty face, which seemed to be so pretty that water could be squeezed out of it. The spring spirit had not yet faded, and it was still covered with a faint pink color after the intense exercise.

Seeing Xia Bai turning his head, Xianghe showed a happy expression and hugged him tightly.

"Commander, don't doubt yourself. All of this was done voluntarily by Shokaku. Since you saved Shokaku, he has been planning to follow you."

"Shokaku has made many plans for this~ For example, he made an exchange with the Commander's sister RX-03, and tricked the Commander into the room today."

"Or maybe drug the commander to make him fall asleep, and then take advantage of the opportunity to get on base."

"This is all Shokaku's plan."

The observant Shokaku naturally saw what Xia Bai was struggling with. In order to prevent him from getting into trouble, Shokaku took care of everything himself and concealed the existence of Shinano.

And then, she would pretend to be pitiful and ask Xia Bai if he could forgive her, in order to gain his sympathy. Under such an offensive, Xia Bai would definitely forgive her and then love her even more.

After all, she was the kind of 'bad' woman who devoted herself to her commander and grasped happiness at all costs.

But what Xia Bai said was beyond Xianghe's expectations.

The man lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said in a very serious tone: "As the son of Prometheus, would I believe your nonsense?"

"I...I didn't lie." Shokaku was very panicked. How could the commander see through what he said? This shouldn't be right.

According to Shokaku's understanding, Xia Bai should believe whatever she said. He couldn't be that smart. Moreover, the previous thousand-layer routine was also successful... Could it be that the moves that Taihou passed on to me were not complete, and she kept half of them for herself?

Just when Shokaku was worried about whether the commander would be angry, Xia Bai's face became gentle again and he grabbed Shokaku's chest hard.

"Before you lie to me, try to control your mental fluctuations. Who can't sense the pride in your mental fluctuations, Shokaku?"

"Really? Everyone thinks I'm an idiot..."

After saying that, Xia Bai lifted up Xianghe's delicate white chin and kissed it.

He could sense Shokaku's intentions, and that was precisely why he had to take the initiative and not let the other party bear all of this.

As the son of Prometheus, couldn't Xia Bai feel whether he was drugged or not? I have told you not to treat him as a normal person. He is a man who could fight even with a big hole in his chest and pushed the enemy into the water.

She continued to invade Shokaku's territory, hooked her pink tongue that was forced into a corner, and acted recklessly and bullied him to her heart's content.

The other hand was also dishonestly groping Shokaku's smooth and fleshy back. Seeing the other's blue pupils filled with mist, Xia Bai started a new round of journey.

During this time, the door was opened a little, and Noshiro estimated that the time was about right, so he came to deliver the red bean rice as requested by Zuikaku.

Seeing the situation in the room deteriorating, he quietly closed the door, put the red bean rice on the ground and walked away with a red face, secretly cursing the couple for committing adultery in broad daylight.

a long time.

Xia Bai stroked the smooth silver hair and teased Xianghe who was climbing on him, "How about it, do you still dare to lie to me?"

Xianghe buried his face in Xia Bai's arms and dared not look at him, and replied softly: "I dare not, Commander Xianghe is wrong." She was really scared. She had been working from the afternoon to the evening and was still so energetic. Xia Bai's strength on any battlefield was far beyond her expectations.

Seeing that Xianghe admitted his mistake, Xia Bai stopped struggling and held her in his arms and said softly, "Xianghe, you are right. I am too selfish."

"I didn't consider your feelings. I just wanted to make myself feel at ease and accept your love, so that I wouldn't be known as a scumbag."

"However, I won't hesitate anymore in the future, and I won't care about other people's opinions. The most important thing is to grasp the ship girls around me."

After hearing what Xia Bai said, Xianghe raised his head from his arms and said in surprise: "Then Commander, have you really decided to respond well to the feelings of the ship girls for you?"

"Well, I will respond properly. Escaping and self-deception are not my style. I won't dwell on this issue any more."

Following his own heart, Xia Bai answered Shokaku's question with great certainty.

The dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon. Anyway, he has now established a spiritual connection with the five ship girls. One of them has not been seen yet, and only the spiritual link proves its existence. I think if he turns into a dragon, he will be a good dragon.

"Then Commander, you must be prepared. We, the Sakura Empire, are still waiting for you to take over."

"what?"

Chapter 73 There Must Be a Battlefield at Night

"Take over the Sakura Empire... Shokaku, what do you mean by that?"

Faced with the girl's sudden words, Xia Bai was confused. Even if he was slowly changing his mind, it was too far-fetched to directly take over the Sakura Empire.

Raising her head to show her swan-like neck, Xianghe smiled sweetly. She did not answer Xia Bai's question in time, but rubbed her chest instead.

Feeling the warmth between you and your commander and experiencing the warmth brought by the spiritual connection is an irresistible experience for any Sakura Empire ship girl.

Shokaku felt uncomfortable when she thought about Shinano letting Xia Bai take over the Sakura Empire. Strengthening the fleet was her idea, but she didn't want to have more competitors, especially those problematic guys.

A mental link can only be established between a commander and a ship girl who are in tune with each other, but there are too many people like delusional people, obsessive-compulsive criminals, nymphomaniacs... in the Sakura Empire.

His commander was so great, those guys would definitely be like bitches in heat as soon as they saw Xia Bai, and would madly follow their inner desires to establish a spiritual connection.

Thinking so worriedly, Shokaku whispered: "...I don't want to do this either, but I have reached an agreement with Miss 03 some time ago. Commander, you need to go to Sakura Empire to help us deal with the mess."

"What does this have to do with RX-03? What happened in Sakura Empire?" Doubts came one after another and Xia Bai couldn't help but wonder if his third sister had agreed to something on her own initiative again.

Upon hearing this, Shokaku told Xia Bai all the agreements with RX-03 with a sense of grievance, without mentioning the existence of Shinano at all.

"...So the commander needs to go to Sakura Empire to solve these problems. The best way is to use your powerful military force to subdue everyone and become the commander of Sakura Empire."

What Son of God faction, what rebel faction, Xia Bai was overwhelmed after hearing all this. That RX-03 guy actually threw such a thing at him without saying a word.

If Shokaku hadn't told him today, he would probably have realized it only after he was foolishly tricked into going to Sakura Empire.

"So what about you, Shokaku... Did you establish a mental link with me in order to reach an agreement with RX-03?"

Let’s not talk about RX-03’s self-initiated plan for now. Anyway, we just have to do whatever she wants. But if Shokaku treats him so well because of other external factors, then the situation is different.

What is the difference between having a purposeful relationship and deception? Xia Bai cannot accept or tolerate this.

Facing Xia Bai's questioning, Xianghe was not too panicked. He twisted his smooth body so that he could look him in the eye and said very solemnly: "Since the first time I saw the commander, I have made up my mind."

"If it weren't for the agreement with RX-03, Shokaku would never bring the Commander back to Sakura Empire... So, please rest assured, no matter what, Shokaku and I will never change our feelings for the Commander."

As he said this, Shokaku pressed Xia Bai's rough hand against his chest, letting him feel the truth in his words.

"I'm sorry...I shouldn't have doubted Shoukaku."

Xia Bai was stupid. It was obvious that their spirits were connected, but he still doubted the authenticity of the other's feelings.

After hearing Xia Bai's apology, Xianghe smiled and leaned into his arms again.

"Hehe~ That's why I told you, Commander, don't think too much. Believe that Shokaku won't do anything excessive to you."

After pinching Shokaku's little nose lovingly, which earned him a coquettish response, Xia Bai began to inquire about the details of Sakura City, and finally asked when he should go there.

"We will set out with the commander in five days. Sister 03's backup plan should also be activated in five days."

There is a backup plan. The third sister is really going to do whatever it takes to get herself to Sakura Empire. However, Xia Bai had already been considering whether to go there, and now is the perfect time to handle both business and personal matters at the same time.

So Xia Bai nodded, without any objection to the time. He also wanted to see what reasons RX-03 would use to force him to go to Sakura Empire.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xia Bai looked at Shokaku and decided not to stay overnight. After all, it would be difficult to explain to Sheffield.

Amid the other person's dissatisfied look, he lifted the quilt, stood up, walked into the bathroom, took a shower, and prepared to say goodbye and leave.

"Commander, let's go together. I just told Zuikaku that she is waiting for us outside."

"It's so late, why let Zuikaku wait for us?"

"Of course it's an exercise. Although the commander is going to take over the Sakura Empire, we must not forget what we agreed on. Zuikaku is waiting for you to defeat her."

Well, these are things that will happen sooner or later anyway, so just do it first. I will be busy later and I will have to say goodbye to the ship girls I am on good terms with, so Xia Bai has no objection to this.

"Commander, wait for me. I'll go to the bathroom to wash and come out soon. Don't come in~" Xianghe seemed very happy to be able to stay with Xia Bai for a while again, and his steps into the bathroom were much lighter.

Facing the temptation of Shokaku, Xia Bai remained unmoved and waited quietly for him to come out of the shower. He began to pay attention to moderation. He was with Sheffield yesterday until noon today, and with Shokaku in the afternoon and evening.

Although Xia Bai felt that there was nothing wrong with his body, he still had to practice with Zuikaku soon, so he resisted the urge to go into the bathroom.

Twenty minutes later, Xianghe changed into his original crane sleeves and kimono and walked out of the bathroom. His fragrant body leaned tightly against Xia Bai, and he hugged his hand with a happy expression on his face.

"Commander, let's go."

"Oh, wait."

After speaking to Sheffield on the communication circle, Xia Bai and Shokaku headed to the better exercise location.

Zuikaku had been waiting for a long time. The night wind blew her long chestnut hair. At this moment, she was standing upright on the stone, with her back to Xia Bai, stroking the handle of the knife with her thumb.

She was not alone at the exercise site. There was also a group of little lolis with animal ears who must have heard the news and came to observe.

When Noshiro saw Xia Bai and Shokaku coming, she stepped forward and bowed slightly, and the girl's clear and pleasant voice came out of her mouth.

"Lord Zuikaku is ready. The deployment of the ship's equipment is permitted for this exercise."

"Is it allowed to deploy the ship's equipment...an exercise with no restrictions?" Touching his chin, Xia Bai thought about the reason. He did not expect Zuikaku to propose an unlimited exercise.

Hearing Xia Bai's question, Noshiro took a few steps back nervously, her face flushed. The scene she saw when she delivered food today was still lingering in her mind.

Clearing her throat, she stammered as she answered, "Well... Lord Zuikaku wants to... have a serious... competition with Lord Xiabai, so he proposed... this condition."

After finally finishing the explanation, Noshiro lowered his head and dared not look at Xia Bai.

Seeing this, Xia Bai wondered if there was something wrong with the other party and whether he was that scary. Then he gave Xianghe beside him a reassuring smile and walked forward.

Chapter 74 The Function of the Psychoconduction Device

Hearing the noise behind him, Zuikaku knew that Xia Bai had arrived. He looked down at his sword and sighed.

"You came."

Listening to the footsteps, Xia Bai looked at Ruihe's back as he stood on the stone. Against the backdrop of the bright moon and the sea, he looked extremely majestic, like a mountain overlooking an abyss.

Wondering in his mind why the painting style suddenly turned into a martial arts one, Xia Bai responded without changing his expression.

"I am coming."

"You shouldn't have come."

"But I'm still here."

A moment of silence.

The friction sound between the blade and the scabbard made Xia Bai's body tense.

The sword was unsheathed, and the sharp blade reflected the dim moonlight, which was chilling.

Zuikaku turned around with an embarrassed look on his face, scratched his head and said awkwardly: "I forgot the words."
