How come I, who has the physique of a succubus, was pushed back by the ship girl?

"Since we have reached the end of our rope and have shown signs of defeat, why don't we surrender and surrender politely? I believe His Majesty Nagato will handle the matter appropriately."

"Although we can't return to our former heights, it's more than enough to at least keep the remaining fiefdom."

Long Feng's endless words can be said to have led the trend of the wind direction in the tent.

After ending the soul-searching gaze, Zhou Xuan turned his head and looked at Long Feng who was talking big in front of him, with a smile on his face.

"I know that men cannot be presentable in this place, but I would like to ask Lord Longfeng to think carefully about where you are now and who has captured you?"

"If you can't answer, that's fine. I can answer for you. Just listen carefully."

"My name is Zhou Xuan, and I am from Donghuang. You were defeated by me and captured by my companions. Don't forget the fact that you are my trophy."

Starting from the perspective of facts and seeking truth from facts, this is Zhou Xuan’s beautiful counterattack when facing disdain.

The more he talked, the more interested he became. After he finished speaking, he did not forget to signal the cleaner standing behind him to show them her skills.

Upon receiving the order, the Clearer acted quickly, summoning out his shark ship in almost an instant, with the hideous and huge muzzle pointing directly at Longfeng's head.

"How dare you be so presumptuous in front of my commander! You are a defeated general, why don't you quickly submit to me?"

Even though her abilities were locked, she was now a powerless mortal.

But in the face of naked intimidation, Long Feng didn't even blink an eyebrow, which can be regarded as worthy of her great reputation.

With a sense of self-sacrifice, Long Feng did not dodge or avoid, and did not pay attention to the shark-like ship suit with its bloody mouth open. Instead, he looked at Zhou Xuan with an unyielding light in his eyes.

Such a development frightened Junhe. The little face that had been flushed in front of Zhou Xuan turned pale in this short moment.

No longer caring about her so-called demeanor, eager to mediate, she hurried forward and grabbed Long Feng.

He used his body to separate her from the Cleaner and whispered in her ear.

"Alright! Stop talking so much. You shouldn't show off your courage in a moment of bravery."

"So what if we have to endure hardships? We just need to swallow our anger for now. I think once the court receives the information, there will be new actions soon. So we just need to be patient for now."

Despite the puzzled looks from her companions and the deep doubts that were dissecting her heart layer by layer, Suruga still nodded her head heavily.

She also knew that the word "endure" did not sound good, and it was even more unacceptable and frustrating for Long Fengnan. Now there was no other good way.

As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. This is what she saw in her eye contact with Zhou Xuan. It is the only choice.

Zhou Xuan will not kill them.

Curiosity, humor, frivolity, playfulness...his pure eyes contained everything except any murderous intent.

As if he understood her good intentions, Long Feng's anger gradually subsided and he also calmed down.

She no longer confronted the Clearer, but leaned back, with most of her body exposed, and looked directly at Zhou Xuan behind her.

He said this through gritted teeth.

"Let's end the argument here. I'll remember what happened today..."

Even though it has come to this, Long Feng still does not forget to make his intentions clear and makes one final provocation.

This made Zhou Xuan wonder whether he should be more ferocious so as to avoid being looked down upon by others.

But after all, this is the girl he wants to unite with, and this is the integrity she upholds, he should not deny it, let alone attack it.

Therefore, out of this consideration, Zhou Xuan had no choice but to pretend not to listen. He waved his hand casually and asked Ashigara and Agano to take them to their cells.

After he finished, he noticed that the people around him, especially the girls under Tiancheng, were looking at him strangely. They didn't say anything, just looked at each other.

"Well... well, Zhou Xuan... this is under the command of Master Tiancheng, she should be the one giving the orders."

From a distance, the magical power's reminder slowly reached Zhou Xuan's ears as she jogged.

What she attracted immediately were the scrutinizing gazes of Ayanami, Taiho, and the Clearer, which made her shudder involuntarily and explain awkwardly.

"No... I can't help it. Since you guys don't say anything, I have to remind you..."

Looking at the farce happening around him, he once again recalled the gazes of the crowd.

Zhou Xuan then realized that it was her occupational disease that had caused her to accidentally become the master of Tiancheng, leaving her in a dilemma.

Fortunately, Tiancheng doesn't care.

"It's just a small matter. Without Zhou Xuan's help, we wouldn't have achieved the victory we have today. Chronic death may be our best outcome."

"I don't know about Akagi, but here, you can speak freely. There is no need to deliberately distinguish between you and me."

Tiancheng smiled gently, but beneath her deep affection she had other considerations.

After this battle, Zhou Xuan's reputation will surely reach Musashi's ears in the future.

With her ambition, she will definitely take some necessary measures to ensure Zhou Xuan's survival.

For the development of their faction and to prevent the other party from having any chance of succeeding in the future, she must tie herself tightly to Zhou Xuan.

Be it in terms of interests or physical and mental health.

Thinking of this, Tiancheng’s eyes became more determined.

Akagi, my sister, you just take good care of your injuries. I will do everything I can for you.

Even if I have to sacrifice everything for this, I will do it at all costs...

Chapter 290: Meeting with Dafeng under the Moon

Dafeng waited for a long time, a whole day, before finally getting Zhou Xuan's appointment at night.

They knew what they were going to do, so they didn't dare to be careless. After clearing themselves up in advance, Dafeng went over.

The place Zhou Xuan agreed to meet was a garden in the south of the city, which was far away from the military camp and without too many noisy noises, making it a good place for a date.

This is indeed the case. Along the way, Dafeng did not see many people except for a few colleagues running errands.

When she arrived, Zhou Xuan was already waiting quietly in the pavilion in the middle of the garden.

Unable to suppress her joy, Dafeng took a step forward and trotted forward.

"Sorry, Zhou Xuan, I kept you waiting for so long. I was late because I had a lot of preparations to do before going out."

Dafeng was standing right in front of Zhou Xuan, very close to him.

Just as she bent down and bowed, as her low-cut kimono fell off, Zhou Xuan could still see two white balls inside, with a fragrant smell.

Zhou Xuan blushed in shame. He looked at the beautiful Dafeng in front of him and answered with a smile.

"It's okay, Miss Dafeng. I just arrived, so I didn't have to wait too long."

After spending a long time with Ayanami, Zhou Xuan has somewhat picked up some of her speaking habits, which, in Dafeng's opinion, has earned him a lot of points in her heart.

Love to the extreme is crazy. Thinking of this, an obsessed expression immediately appeared on her face, and even the look she gave Zhou Xuan became dull.

"Just call me Dafeng, don't call me girl...why do we have to be so distant with each other?"

"If you're too polite, there's a sense of distance... I don't like it."

"Call me Da Feng, Zhou Xuan. I want to hear you call my name, okay?"

It was the moving look that the young girl longed for, and the irresistible existence. Zhou Xuan did not think twice and called softly as she requested.

"Good evening, Dafeng."

"Well! Zhou Xuan, good evening!"

It really proves the old saying that the human heart is like a mirror. When one person laughs, the other person will laugh too.

Illuminated by the moonlight, they looked particularly bright and charming in each other's eyes.

Zhou Xuan must have asked her to come for something, but he didn't mention it and she didn't say it on her own initiative.

Just like that, she stayed close to him, walking side by side with him in the garden under the moon, talking about the heroic deeds in her life that were worth boasting about.

"Today's battle was fought beautifully! Dafeng has been suppressed for too long. She hasn't felt so happy in a long time."

"You didn't see how brilliantly Tai Feng performed when she faced off against the Canglong sisters."

"Under the control of the Great Phoenix, each of its wings turned into a sharp weapon to pierce the enemy. With each move, the opponent was left without any chance to fight back."

Dafeng said this, and when she got excited she did not forget to lift up her sleeves. On her sleeves were feathers similar to the wings of a phoenix, which were almost the same as the ones in the portrait, except that they were a little more spiritual.

Zhou Xuan originally wanted to be a quiet listener, and give appropriate responses when necessary to inspire and encourage the girl's sincerity.

However, she didn't expect that the well-behaved Dafeng was also a restless person. Seeing that he was still smiling and didn't speak for a long time, she couldn't wait any longer and hurriedly tugged at the corner of his clothes.

"Why aren't you talking, Zhou Xuan? Is it because... Da Feng's performance is not good enough to satisfy you?"

"If that's the case, Dafeng will continue to work hard and let you, Zhou Xuan, see my unique style..."

"No...I'm not dissatisfied."

Shaking his head slightly, Zhou Xuan told the truth.

"I just want to listen to you carefully and then explain it to you in detail at the end. It's not that I think your performance is not up to expectations."

"To be honest, I am already very satisfied that you have such a thought. How can I dare to ask for anything more?"

"Do you know what Akagi said to me when you came here?"

Dafeng, who listened carefully and had no time to be distracted, simply imitated Zhou Xuan's posture and shook her head repeatedly to indicate that she didn't know.

"She gave me a shot of vaccination. She told me that Dafeng was a crazy girl and difficult to get along with."

"If she gets angry and doesn't listen to you, you can find my sister and let her handle it to relieve your worries."

"Did Lady Akagi really say that?!" Dafeng widened her eyes.

"Yeah, I mentioned it before I left."

Listening to Zhou Xuan's answer, Dafeng lowered his head in thought.

After recalling for a while, he seemed to have found the root of what Akagi had done, and he raised his eyes and spoke.

"Damn Akagi, he just took the opportunity to take revenge on me because of some grudges I had with him in Kyoto."

"How dare you speak ill of others behind their backs, and in front of you, this is truly... unforgivable!"

He didn't even call him "Akagi-sama" as usual, but just called him by his name. As Dafeng was talking, she suddenly realized the blind spot and asked hurriedly.

"That's right! You didn't believe it so easily, did you, Zhou Xuan?"

"That...those are just Chicheng's slander against Taiho. Don't take them seriously. Don't believe them."

Believe? Zhou Xuan certainly wouldn't believe it so easily. He thought of the night when he last met Chi Cheng, and of the Da Feng she mentioned, and smiled.

"Hearing is believing, seeing is believing, plus Akagi happens to be a cynical person, so I didn't take it too seriously."

"It wasn't until I actually met you that I was sure that Akagi was joking. I don't know whether it was a personal vendetta or not, and I don't want to know."

"Today is a special day for me, and I don't want to discuss it, I just want to give this to you."

After spending a long time with a group of powerful ship girls, Zhou Xuan also learned how to perform magic tricks by observing and hearing them.

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a gold-plated hairpin from somewhere, took Dafeng's little hand, and then placed it in her warm palm.

"Do you remember what I said? I told you at that time that after the war, I would give you a new hairpin."

"The hairpin in your hand is carefully selected by me. It is in the shape of a phoenix and suits your style."

"If you don't like it, I have a lot more here. We can take our time to choose."

Seeing that her eyes were fixed on the golden hairpin, motionless, Zhou Xuan took out an exquisite small wooden box.

When I opened it, I saw all kinds of hairpins inside.

There are lotus-shaped, jade butterfly-shaped, and other exquisite ornaments with tassels, a total of five or six styles.

"In short, don't force it, just take your time to choose."

"If you don't like any of them, then let's not have them. When there is more time, I will collect better and more beautiful ones for you."

What is touching is never the so-called gift, but the original intention of the gift giver.

When hearing this, Dafeng had actually already burst into tears, with large and small, crystal clear tears dripping directly into her palm.

It dripped onto the exquisite hairpin, and under the moonlight, the pearl, no longer covered in dust, emitted a brilliant light, just like the hearts of two people, shining together.

Everything came naturally, and he was no longer willing to suppress his emotions. He raised his head and Dafeng was on top.

She quickly and decisively placed her first kiss on Zhou Xuan's delicate cheek.

Then, as the movement progresses, the gravity causes it to slide down slowly until it reaches the lips, and covers them naturally, little by little.
