Should we go to greet them?
"Hmm—when Xiaobai came back last time, she told me that she hoped she could come back quietly next time. There were too many people standing at the gate of the naval base, and she was quite embarrassed."
"Reputation understands." Reputation nodded.
"Oh, right, reputation."
"Please give your orders."
"Regarding the rule that maids must greet the people inside the office when they enter..."
"You don't like it?"
"How about adding a rule next time that the temporary maid should bow when greeting the maid?"
"I'll pass that on to Richelieu next time." Reputation, with a nonchalant expression, nodded slightly, exchanged a brief glance with Lexington in front of him, then suddenly pursed his lips, unable to suppress a smile, and looked away helplessly. "...Bad guy."

At noon, with the slightly intense sunlight, the icy chill subsided a little.
Lexington walked through the bustling square, past one ship girl shop after another, and finally arrived at the gate of the naval base.
On the distant dock, Sukhbaatar sat in a patched-up wooden boat, chewing on a straw, and cast his fishing rod.
Lexington stood there gazing at Sukhbaatar for a while, enduring a moment of leisure that felt somewhat strange to him, when suddenly the sound of an engine starting came from afar, and a cheerful taxi sped towards him through billowing smoke.
Like the wind, the taxi arrived at the gates of the naval base without slowing down at all, with a screeching sound coming from the tires. Suddenly, the happy taxi did a stylish 180-degree spin and finally stopped right in front of Lexington.
The car door opens.
Bismarck jumped out of the car, saw Lexington waiting in front of him, walked up to her, and nodded.
"I am back."
“Welcome back, Bismarck.” Lexington reached out and placed her hand behind Bismarck, a happy smile on her face. “And… Gaja…”
Amid Saratoga's repeated cries of pain, Lexington grabbed Saratoga by the ear and pulled her out from behind Bismarck.
“Sister…Sister…” Saratoga’s legs trembled uncontrollably as she stared at Lexington, who was smiling, her face ashen and trembling.
"Jiajia, your sister misses you so much."
"Uh... I... I miss you too..."
"Jiajia~~~ How many times has she disobeyed her sister and run off to find Xiaobai?"
"..." Saratoga lowered his head and swallowed, not daring to reply.
"It seems Jiajia has already made up her mind, hasn't she?"
"Ughhhhhh!!!"
Saratoga panicked like a child weighing tens of thousands of tons, while Lexington held her in his arms like a kitten, constantly hugging and rubbing her face.
Several more ship girls stepped off the train one after another.
The four Snow White sisters chattered and helped Yi Xian out of the car.
After greeting each of the ship girls, Lexington glanced into the car.
However, there was no one left in the car. After taking the money Bismarck handed over, the driver drove off in a flash.
"Hmm?" Lexington asked curiously.
“We don’t have enough people, there’s another car behind us.” Bismarck noticed Lexington’s curiosity and explained to her.
"There's another one behind... Ah, did Xiaobai salvage the boat again?"
“Yes.” Bismarck nodded.
"...Seriously, Xiaobai, if she goes out and doesn't bring back a few ship girls, she's not herself." Lexington shook her head helplessly and laughed, but there was no surprise on her face. "Luckily, the naval base was just expanded, and it lacks everything except houses. Hmm, what kind of sisters did Xiaobai bring back this time?"
"Ambition, Emerald."
"Ah, so you're two light cruiser sisters, what a coincidence."
"And there's the Deep Sea Bismarck, the Deep Sea Tirpitz, and the Deep Sea Supply Ship."
"...Oh dear..."
“And the Royal Oak, Vltava, York…” Bismarck counted on his fingers.
"So many?" Lexington was finally surprised, both unexpectedly and predictably. She covered her mouth, her big eyes wide open, and she even forgot to cherish Saratoga, who was nestled in her arms.
Bismarck was counting the ship girls on her fingers when Lexington interrupted her. After thinking for a moment, she nodded as if she deeply agreed: "There are quite a few."
"I'm starting to wonder if Xiaobai went to the second chapter or some other place. There are so many sisters coming back this time." Lexington laughed. "Seriously... if every admiral could bring back ship girls like Xiaobai, like leeks, they would become worthless."
"There are also constellations and cv16."
"..." Lexington paused, then asked, "Who else?"
“You and your sister.” Bismarck said expressionlessly.
"Huh?" Lexington was stunned.
“One is your sister who shares the same ship number as Saratoga, and the other is a junior with a face like yours,” Yi Xian finally explained. “Xiao Bai had a very complicated time in the second chapter this time…”
“…Ah…” Lexington hesitated for a moment before slowly nodding, “Oh…”
Lexington was so shocked that he was almost used to it.
“Oh, right, Mrs. Lexington,” Yixian added somewhat awkwardly, “about Xiaobai…”
"what's wrong?"
"She didn't come back with us."
Lexington was stunned: "...Where did Little White go?"
Yi Xian looked troubled.
"It seems like they're going to..."
"The Admiral's Guild President's House..."
Snap!!
Before Yi Xian could finish speaking, a muffled sound came from beneath the crowd.
Everyone bowed their heads.
All that could be seen was the newly built iron threshold of the new naval base.
Lexington, with a smile on his face, had already stomped on it flat.
Chapter 879 My Aunt is the Number One Woman in the World
A whooshing, rumbling sound came from under the train.
Sitting in the train, Xiaobai looked out the window at the scenery being gradually dragged behind by the accelerating train, his expression somewhat complicated.
Xiao Bai lowered his head and looked at his clothes.
What caught his eye was not the admiral's uniform he had grown completely accustomed to wearing, but another ordinary, unremarkable set of casual clothes.
Xiao Bai sighed helplessly, then raised his head.
Dressed in a youthful and stylish outfit, with his legs crossed, President Er Gou sat opposite Xiao Bai, looking out the window with great interest at the scenery. He resembled a young girl just beginning to experience the world.
President Er Gou is an extremely beautiful person, and what's most terrifying is that she is very aware of this, and she seems to be extremely arrogant about it.
President Er Gou was wearing a figure-hugging short skirt and top, with her long, slender legs covered in thin black stockings that were firm and fleshy, swaying and curving in a streamlined way, seemingly oblivious to the cold air around her.
President Er Gou didn't use much makeup on her face, only applying some moisturizing lip gloss to her lips. Wearing sunglasses and sporting a slightly youthful single ponytail hairstyle, paired with her fair skin and delicate features, she exuded a capable and youthful aura from afar, making her look like a second-tier female celebrity on vacation.
It doesn't give off the composure of someone who might be approaching fifty.
"Hahahaha, little white sister, look out the window! There's a single guy on the street who's been staring at my legs the whole time!"
"Hahahaha, little white sister, look! Someone's taking pictures of me with their phone on the platform outside! You bastard, you have to pay me, okay?!"
"Hahaha, there are a few girls over there who are jealous of my beauty and are pointing fingers at us. Give up, you can't beat me when it comes to beauty!"
President Er Gou pounded on the glass, clutching his stomach with one hand and laughing hysterically as he looked out the window.
—President Er Gou is probably the person Xiao Bai has ever seen who cares least about the people around him.
Xiao Bai turned her head away helplessly.
As soon as Xiaobai turned her head, a snow-white finger pressed against her lips. Xiaobai felt a cold sensation on her lips as Missouri, who was standing next to her, put a peeled orange slice to her mouth.
"Admiral, ah————"
Missouri, as virtuous as a capable young wife, opened her mouth to Little White, revealing her small and adorable pink tongue.
Little White opened its mouth and bit the orange pulp that Missouri offered to Little White.
Amidst the coolness, a slightly sour sweetness lingers.
Spicy is often mentioned in movies as the taste of love.
"Mmm, delicious." Little White nodded. "Thank you, Missouri."
"The oranges were bought by the Admiral and Missouri together, and the Admiral paid for them. Whether they taste good or not is not a reason for the Admiral to thank Missouri." Missouri smiled at Xiaobai, holding a neatly peeled orange in his palm.
"Well, you were the one who peeled it open..."
"It was just a small favor." Missouri said to Xiaobai with a smile as she picked up another plump orange segment. "If you want to express your gratitude, simply handing over an orange segment won't do. The Admiral's thanks are not so cheap."
"..." Xiaobai looked at Missouri and smiled awkwardly.
Missouri brought the orange pulp to her lips, gently bit it, and slowly pressed it against Little White's body. Before Little White could react, she pushed the yellow crescent moon on her lips between Little White's lips.
Xiao Bai subconsciously gulped down the orange pulp that Missouri had fed him mouth-to-mouth, his face blank.
Missouri's lips parted from Little White's, and she gently tapped Little White's chin with her finger, revealing a wise smile.
"At the very least, Admiral, please thank me only after you've gone this far."
"...Uh, thanks..."
“This is to say thank you again to the admiral earlier, so there’s no need for the admiral to repeat it. Now, the admiral only needs to say thank you for the meal, or ask for another bowl.” Missouri seemed completely unconcerned about her surroundings.
"..." Xiao Bai's face turned red and white in turns.
Sorry, it turns out Missouri is the one that doesn't care about the environment at all, and will suddenly start swooning over Xiaobai at the drop of a hat.
After Xiaobai became embarrassed, Missouri stopped approaching him and returned to her seat, peacefully peeling oranges.
Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief.
In short, the rookie naval commander, Xiaobai, is currently on his way to the old home of Ergou Guild Elder.
As for why Xiaobai is going to Guild Master Ergou's house instead of returning to his own naval base, this story actually dates back to a few days ago.
Just a few days ago, Kaga, who went to the island to look for Xiaobai, beat up Mu Chenglin on the beach according to the orders left by Xiaobai's brother. After tricking Guild Leader Ergou, Guild Leader Ergou clearly realized something when he talked to Mu Chenglin afterwards.
That's because President Er Gou has been following Brother Xiao Bai's bad ways for many years, and has become used to doing things in a domineering and arrogant manner. As a result, recently, President Er Gou has become somewhat unable to communicate with others in a normal and reasonable manner.
Therefore, deeply aware of his disadvantages, and in order to return safely from the family adventure, President Er Gou made a major decision that would change his life.
That is, she herself retired from the Admiral's Guild, and then gave all her titles, including the position of Admiral's Guild President in Chapter Two and the title of the tyrannical local boss, to Xiaobai by her side.
President Er Gou explained it this way.
The reason for doing this was to create a deep bond between himself and Xiaobai.
The reason why her hometown always wanted her to go back to her hometown instead of just taking a beggar from some corner of the street home was mainly because she was more beautiful, but there was another very important factor.
That is, President Er Gou has a deep blood relationship with the Wood-type family.
It was precisely because of this relationship that the people back home never forgot about her, who had eloped for love, and that made their actions of pulling her back home seem righteous and justifiable.
So, by the same token, Guild Master Er Gou thought that since everyone thought the bond system was so useful, he might as well create one with others.
Anyway, my reliable sister-in-law, Xiaobai, is right here beside me. Xiaobai is probably one of the few people in this world I can trust.
Of course, President Er Gou and Xiao Bai already have some kind of bond between them.
Xiaobai is the adopted sister of Ergou's deceased husband's family. In a sense, she and Ergou are indeed family and are related.
However, there are quite a few annoying things between Xiaobai and President Ergou's relationship.
Therefore, this bond seems slightly weaker and less powerful compared to the blood ties between President Er Gou and his hometown.
Therefore, that's why President Er Gou wants to create a bond with Xiao Bai that is stronger, more natural, more legally protected, and more legitimate than blood ties.
