Elder brother's garrison

Page 1589

Xiaobai tried several times, but his body didn't react.

Sleepiness was still creeping up on me.

Consciousness begins to blur.

Xiao Bai forced herself to blink, but her eyelids eventually closed weakly.

……

Xiaobai had a dream.

In a dream.

Little White transformed into a beam of light, sinking continuously in the dark ocean.

sink.

sink.

Not a single ray of light could penetrate the dark seawater.

Fish in the deep sea flicked their tails, making gurgling sounds as they surged around me.

At last.

Little White sank to the bottom.

**The tops of her feet touched the damp mud, and the cold, sharp rocks pierced her soles like blades.

A light suddenly flashed in front of Xiaobai.

The seawater receded.

The air around us was humid.

Xiao Bai rubbed his eyes and looked ahead.

What lay before Xiaobai was half of a ship as huge as a spire.

The hull of the steel ship was split in two, the smooth cut surface gleaming with metallic luster.

The ship's hull gleamed in the dark depths of the sea.

That faint yet eternal light resembled the strange metal plates inside the Black Tower.

Xiao Bai looked at the ship in front of him and felt that it looked very familiar.

"This half of the ship... looks like the half that Lord Su showed me when the timeline was broken..."

"Is this the other half of the ship...?"

Little White muttered to herself as she took a step forward, wanting to get closer to the ship.

But it is this step.

Something happened.

The gleaming ship suddenly shone brightly, and countless strokes appeared on its massive hull. At the same time, as the light grew increasingly dazzling, the surrounding seawater began to boil, the temperature rose, and intense light exploded...

Under Xiaobai's watchful gaze.

The ship instantly transformed into the sun.

The blazing flames instantly engulfed Little White.

The limbs vaporized instantly.

Consciousness evaporated instantly.

Then the world became an endless expanse of white light.

Xiao Bai realized that he seemed to be dead.

……

Xiao Bai suddenly opened his eyes.

It was already late at night.

She felt sweat streaming down her face, and her body felt sticky, clinging to her clothes.

"Huff... huff..." Xiaobai gasped for breath.

"You're awake?" Savoy's voice came from beside me.

Little White turned her head blankly and found Savoy lying next to her, propping his chin up with one hand, his elbow on the ground, staring intently at her.

"Miss Savoy?"

"Had a nightmare?" Savoy raised an eyebrow and continued to ask Little White.

"Ah, I..." Xiaobai looked complicated. She lowered her head and pondered for a while, then nodded hesitantly, "Hmm... I guess so..."

"Heh, I knew it." Savoy chuckled. "You didn't look too good when you were sleeping just now."

"Huh? Is that so?"

"Yeah, hehehe, I didn't expect you to make that kind of face." Savoy narrowed his eyes, a mocking look on his face. "What? Did you dream that Frederick discovered your identity? Or did you dream that I betrayed you, and that the Alliance stabbed you in the back?"

"Haha...nothing like that." Xiaobai laughed awkwardly. "I was just too tired lately, so I took a break."

“…No wonder.” Savoy’s expression shifted slightly after hearing Xiaobai’s words. She glanced at Xiaobai’s forced smile, raised an eyebrow, and nodded. “This is the first time I’ve ever seen you sleep so soundly.”

"Sorry... I made a fool of myself..."

"Hehe, let's not talk about formalities at a time like this." Savoy yawned, first lying on the ground nonchalantly, then secretly glancing at Little White, before stretching out his hands towards Little White and making a hugging gesture.

"...?" Xiaobai was stunned.

“What are you standing there for?” Savoy retorted.

"what?"

Come here.

"Eh? What do you mean?"

“What else could it mean?” Savoy closed his eyes. “People who have nightmares all want to find something to hug after they wake up, right? I often have nightmares too, so I know this. So come and hug me.”

“Uh…” Xiaobai was stunned.

"Tsk, don't take my kindness for granted." Savoy's face showed some anger when he saw that Little White didn't move.

"But... but my body is still a little wet... wouldn't that be bad..."

"Quickly, come here." Savoy raised his eyebrows.

"Oh, oh, oh." Little White quickly shifted its bottom and snuggled into Savoy's arms.

Savoy also took a breath, wrapped his arms around Little White, and gently pulled Little White into his embrace.

Savoy's embrace was soft and cool.

It was very quiet inside the tent.

Only the sounds of Xiaobai and Savoy's breathing rose and fell.

Chapter 2146 A Shocking Decision

Xiaobai and Savoy remained quiet for a short while.

"Hold your breath for a moment," Savoy suddenly said to Little White.

"Ah? What's wrong?"

"Shut up when I tell you to."

"Oh..." Xiaobai covered her mouth and nose with a puzzled look on her face.

“Alright,” Savoy said again.

"Huff." Little White started panting, looking at Savoy curiously, "What just happened?"

“Now our breathing rhythms are in sync,” Savoy said to Little White.

Xiao Bai then realized that, after the adjustment, his and Savoy's breathing rhythm had changed from one inhale and one exhale to simultaneous inhale and exhale in unison.

"Xiao Bai was a little helpless. "It's...it's because of this..."

“What’s wrong? I don’t want to breathe your air.” Savoy said matter-of-factly, like a proud swan.

"..." Xiaobai was silent for a while, then suddenly couldn't help but laugh.

"what happened to you?"

"No, no..." Xiaobai suppressed a laugh, then spoke very seriously to Savoy in front of her, "Miss Savoy, I initially thought you were a morally corrupt and incorrigible bad person, but I didn't expect you to be such a nice person."

"Heh... You're quite the smooth talker. Looks like you've finally emerged from your nightmare?" Savoy's lips twitched, his murderous intent barely concealed as he looked at Little White.

"No, no, not yet." Xiaobai quickly hugged Savoy and pressed her forehead against Savoy's chest.

It's foolish not to take advantage of a good deal.

Savoy said he could hug her as much as he wanted, so why would Little White leave so easily?

And Savoy is right.

After waking up from a nightmare, a person does indeed want to hug something.

This can be considered based on experience.

Little White hugged Savoy, closed his eyes, and carefully felt the sensations coming from Savoy's body.

"Miss Savoy."

"what?"

Do you often have nightmares?

"...How could that be? Who am I?" Savoy replied arrogantly at first, then paused for a moment, patted Little White on the back, "Only...occasionally."

Savoy has been carrying a secret in the deep-sea city for so long; the psychological pressure he is under is enough to give a glimpse into the whole picture.

"Thank you," Xiaobai said to Savoy.

“There’s nothing to thank me for,” Savoy said, closing his eyes.

"Actually, I was also scared by the nightmare, but after I woke up, Miss Savoy comforted me and even let me hug you... Anyway... I feel much better now." Xiaobai said sincerely.

“Heh…” Savoy chuckled softly, “So what nightmare did you have?”

"..."

"Prefer not to say?"

"No, actually I don't know how to describe it..." Xiaobai winked and looked puzzled.

The dream that Xiaobai had was indeed very strange.

There was no reason, and no explanation.

But every part of the dream was incredibly clear.

He even clearly remembered the moment when the other half of the ship transformed into the sun and evaporated him.

Fortunately, it didn't actually hurt much.

Logically speaking, dreaming is just a reflection of a person's stress and is not something too confidential. There's nothing wrong with talking about it with someone. But even so, Xiaobai didn't know how to explain it to Savoy.

I have a feeling... it wasn't an ordinary dream.

Xiaobai didn't really want to talk to anyone about her dream.

“Miss Savoy, this is a rare opportunity, let’s talk about something else,” Xiaobai changed the subject and asked Savoy.

“If it’s just about mundane family matters, I don’t have the time for that.” Savoy neither agreed nor refused, asking vaguely, “So what do you want to talk about?”

"After things are settled in Chapter Eight, where are you going, Miss Savoy?" Xiaobai looked at Savoy expectantly.

“Me? Heh... So you’ve already assumed you can get us out of here? From Frederick?” Savoy chuckled. “I think it’s more likely that you and your little servant, Super Yamato, will be left here forever by Frederick.”

"Isn't this just looking to the future..." Xiaobai smiled, "Where will you go when you're free?"

“Me? Heh…” Savoy squinted, looking down at the little white creature in his arms. “If Frederick were dead, I might stay here, or I might leave Chapter Eight, or… find an old friend and settle some scores.”

"Old friend?"

“Pachina…” Savoy reached out and poked Xiaobai’s forehead, “She’s the one who told you the secret of my skills, right?”
