Chapter 247: Story

After everyone finished the meeting, they all went back to their own rooms. Although Mikasa's place was spacious enough for everyone, it wasn't possible for each person to have a room, so several ship girls also slept together.

When Qin Ge walked back to his room, he discovered that a few people were already inside his room.

He stood dubiously at the doorway, glanced inside the room, then looked at the hallway, confirming this was indeed his room.

He then walked in and saw several ship girls staring at him, saying, "It's so late; why aren't you guys sleeping yet?"

"Commander."

"Brother..."

The few ship girls in Qin Ge's room were naturally the destroyers led by Biaoqiang, but actually also included a light aircraft carrier.

"Has the commander finished the meeting?" Biaoqiang asked Qin Ge.

Qin Ge nodded, "It's basically over, though that wasn't really a meeting; it was just a few people discussing some procedural matters for later."

"Oh." Biaoqiang nodded, not really understanding.

"Never mind me, why are you guys still awake so late?" Qin Ge asked doubtfully.

"Because we just arrived at a new place, we can't sleep, so we discussed coming to find the commander." Biaoqiang said to Qin Ge, "Commander, could you tell us a story?"

"Huh?" Qin Ge was speechless, "You want me to tell you a story?"

"Yes, yes, commander, tell us a story from your world; we're all curious." Biaoqiang said excitedly.

At that moment, the unicorn beside them also widened its eyes, looking at Qin Ge with anticipation, "Brother, can you?"

As for Ling Bo, she showed little reaction, as she always does. Meanwhile, Si Peng Si didn't cry this time, also looking at Qin Ge with anticipation.

Qin Ge couldn't help but smile, "I only know a few stories, so I'll share what I know; but if I tell them poorly, please don't laugh at me."

"Hehe, as long as the commander tells us a story, it'll be fine, and since the commander is so capable, the story will surely be great." Biaoqiang said excitedly, then pulled all the girls to sit on the tatami in Qin Ge's room.

Qin Ge couldn't help but chuckle, shook his head, took off his slippers, and walked over to sit cross-legged on the tatami.

"Let me think about what kind of story to tell you," Qin Ge smiled, then suddenly recalled a game he knew of, and felt energized.

"How about I tell you a xianxia story?"

"Xianxia? What's that?" Biaoqiang asked curiously.

Qin Ge smiled and explained, "In your Royal realm, aren't there stories about angels and demons? Here in Donghuang, the legends are about gods, demons, and xianxia.

As for xianxia, you can think of it as the knight stories of your world."

"Alright, commander, hurry up and tell the story." Qin Ge's explanation sparked the girls' curiosity, and they urged him to begin.

Qin Ge smiled and said, "Speaking of ancient times in Donghuang, there was a small town called Yuhang Town, in which lived an innocent and carefree boy named Li Xiaoyao..."

The story of Chinese Paladin is very long; perhaps Qin Ge couldn't finish telling it in one night. But as he narrated, these little ones were completely drawn into the story valley.

When they heard that Li Xiaoyao's aunt fell ill, they worried; when Li Xiaoyao first met Zhao Ling'er, they were happy; when they learned Li Xiaoyao had been infected with the Forgetfulness Worm and lost his memory, they became angry; and when Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er reunited, they felt a bit of joy again.

However, time waits for no one; when Qin Ge narrated that Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er set off together for Nanzhao Kingdom, it was already very late.

"Alright, it's almost midnight; hurry up and go to sleep." Qin Ge said to the girls who kept dozing off.

Although Biaoqiang and the others really wanted to tell Qin Ge they weren't tired, but thinking they still had things to do tomorrow and had already bothered the commander for a long time, they could only give up.

After getting up from the tatami, a group headed toward the door, but just as they were about to reach it, the unicorn suddenly turned its head and said to Qin Ge,

"Brother, can I sleep here tonight?"

This question left Qin Ge stunned, and also stunned the other few destroyers.

Biaoqiang clapped his hands, "Exactly, commander, can we sleep with you tonight? Anyway, the room is quite big, and our sleeping won't disturb you."

Qin Ge looked at the girls and felt a bit hesitant; although the girls were all young at heart, their appearance really resembled that of middle or even high school students. If he slept with them, would others say something?

But thinking that way, seeing the eager faces of those people, Qin Ge finally couldn't bring himself to refuse them.

"It's possible, but I don't have any blankets or pillows left here; you'll need to bring your own."

Upon hearing Qin Ge say that, Biaoqiang and the others immediately exclaimed excitedly, "We'll go get them from our rooms; we'll be right back."

Soon the girls ran out the door; even the usually timid unicorn this time ran very quickly.

On the quiet night hallway came the sound of footsteps; finally the footsteps grew farther away, but soon after they began to approach again.

Shortly after, the figures of Biaoqiang and the others appeared at Qin Ge's door. They threw their blankets and pillows onto the tatami and lay down there.

Qin Ge couldn't help but chuckle at the sight, then walked to the door and gently closed it. Turning around, he said to the girls, "Alright, you guys sort out your sleeping spots, then just sleep nicely."

"Okay." The girls responded quickly, each quickly pulling up their blankets and lying down to sleep, but the spot they left for Qin Ge was somewhat embarrassing for him.

Because the four of them each slept two on the sides, leaving the middle position empty, it was clear they meant for Qin Ge to sleep in the very middle.

Although Qin Ge felt embarrassed, he couldn't well complain; after all, everyone was covered with blankets and there was no other movement, so he simply turned off the light.

Taking advantage of the dim night, Xu Fei also grabbed a blanket and pillow, placed them on the tatami, and immediately lay down.

"Commander..." a low voice came from beside him; Qin Ge turned his head and saw Biaoqiang staring at him with eyes open.

"What's wrong?" Qin Ge asked.

"Nothing, I just wanted to call you." Biaoqiang said with a smile.

Qin Ge smiled helplessly, "Go to sleep; tomorrow we still have to visit Senior Mikasa's collection room."

"Mm."
