Chapter 722

The two chatted for a while, but Guanghui didn't hear Qin Ge's reply; turning his head, he saw Qin Ge already lying face-down on the pillow, asleep.

Guanghui couldn't help but say, worried, "Commander looks exhausted today—or maybe not just today; the pressure over this period has also worn him out."

Sleep; no matter what happens, Guanghui will always stay by your side.

Although Qin Ge had already fallen asleep, Guanghui didn't stop because of that; he massaged Qin Ge's whole body with a gentler touch before stopping, then held Qin Ge as they drifted into sleep.

When the soft sunlight streamed through the window and filled the room, Qin Ge slowly opened his eyes.

The first thing he saw was Guanghui gazing at his smiling face, making Qin Ge feel, for a moment, that he might be the happiest person in the world.

"Good morning, Commander, good morning." Guanghui said with a smile.

Qin Ge lightly laughed, kissed Guanghui's cheek, and said, "Good morning, it seems I was rather unresponsive last night and fell asleep so early—by the way, what time is it now?"

"Last night the Commander was too tired, so going to bed early was appropriate. It's almost eight now, not too late, so I didn't wake the Commander, hoping to let you sleep a bit longer." Guanghui explained.

"It seems I've been lax lately; when I return to the port, I'll quickly restore my previous schedule." Qin Ge laughed, "Otherwise my body will soon rust."

"Hehe, it seems the Commander is already thinking about our future happy life." Guanghui said with a smile.

Qin Ge blinked in embarrassment, "You… never mind, get up; this morning I still need to go to Mingshi's place."

"Mm."

By the time Qin Ge had gotten up, finished breakfast, and left the reception house, it was already around ten in the morning. This time the ship girl accompanying him was not Belfast or Guanghui as before, but Tianlangxing.

Because Hood was going to host a tea party today, she had borrowed the all-capable Belfast from Qin Ge, and for Tianlangxing, who struggles with chores, this was very good news.

So she voluntarily stepped forward to accompany Qin Ge.

Although ship girls from other fleets also wanted to follow Qin Ge out, considering they had come to Royal territory, they tacitly avoided competing with Royal's ship girls.

After walking down some unfamiliar streets, seeing the Western European atmosphere on both sides, completely unlike Donghuang, Qin Ge couldn't help but look back at Tianlangxing.

"Tianlangxing, are you sure this is the right road?"

Tianlangxing firmly nodded, causing the surging waves to sway as well, "Based on the information given by the reception house staff, this is indeed the correct road."

"So rest assured, master; even if Tianlangxing's housework is hopeless, her battle instincts remain, my proud master."

Qin Ge couldn't help but chuckle, "I'm not doubting anything; I've just arrived in an unfamiliar environment, so I'm a bit uncertain about the surroundings. Besides, I trust you, Tianlangxing."

Upon hearing Qin Ge's words, Tianlangxing's cheeks flushed red, "Being trusted by the master is Tianlangxing's proudest thing, my proud master."

Qin Ge was already very familiar with Tianlangxing's behavior and felt no surprise or need to think much about it.

Not long after walking, Qin Ge indeed saw a familiar building at a dock.

"We've arrived, sure enough it's Mingshi's general store." Qin Ge smiled at the building, "Tianlangxing, I'm curious—Mingshi has opened general stores all over the world, but she's only one person; does she have a cloning technique?"

"Master, I can't answer your question; Tianlangxing truly is a useless maid, please punish me, my proud master." Tianlangxing replied.

Seeing Tianlangxing's face grow ever stranger, Qin Ge quickly shook his head, "Never mind not knowing; I wasn't planning to find out the answer right away, and besides, it's someone else's secret, right?"

"Let's go; let's go inside and see if Mingshi is here."

"Yes, thank you for your kindness, my proud master." Tianlangxing replied.

Qin Ge looked at the slightly disappointed Tianlangxing, felt speechless, and hurriedly walked quickly into the store.

The layout of this general store is similar to that of the Donghuang Commander Academy's store, and surprisingly, a very familiar ship girl sits at the counter.

"Shiranui?" Qin Ge exclaimed upon seeing that ship girl.

"Yes, welcome; it's truly rare to have a guest from Donghuang." Shiranui said to Qin Ge.

Since Qin Ge was wearing a naval uniform today, it wasn't surprising that Shiranui recognized him as a commander from Donghuang.

"Are you that person from the Donghuang Commander Academy?" Qin Ge wondered.

No, customer, you got it wrong. Moreover, you came to the shop today not just to ask about my identity, right? If you need something, please tell me or pick it out yourself. Shiranui said to Qin Ge, obviously she had no intention of continuing to discuss her identity with Qin Ge.

Qin Ge nodded, then said to Shiranui, "I came today to ask if you have Oath Rings for sale."

Hearing Qin Ge ask about the Oath Ring, Shiranui's dull gaze brightened, and she soon nodded, "Ah, it's a big deal, Commander. We indeed have Oath Rings here. How many do you need?"

Hearing Shiranui's reply, Qin Ge let out a sigh of relief, then couldn't help but self-deprecatingly chuckle, wondering if he could possibly sell out all the Oath Rings in this shop.

Then he said to Shiranui, "Um... I need about fifty."

"Are you sure it's fifty, customer?" The usually calm and carefree Shiranui, upon hearing Qin Ge's answer, couldn't help but widen her eyes; although her tone remained the same, one could clearly hear surprise in it.

Qin Ge nodded, "Yes, I brought all the Red Tips."

After Qin Ge finished speaking, he waved at Tianlangxing behind him; Tianlangxing immediately stepped forward, opened the Jia Zhuang Kong Jian, and took out the Red Tips placed inside.

These Red Tips are spoils from this Siren Tide; what Qin Ge took out today is only part of them, with another part left with Bisimai.

Looking at the Red Tips on the table, Shiranui's eyes also flashed with a red light, but she quickly calmed down, "Customer, we don't have that many Oath Rings in stock for now; we need to request from the main store to allocate them here, or you could come back tomorrow."

Qin Ge blinked, then said, "No way, such a big shop doesn't even have fifty Oath Rings?"

Shiranui explained, "Oath Rings are valuable items; stock of such things in the shop is relatively low, and not every commander who comes here needs to buy dozens of them."

"Well then, can you get in touch with Mingshi?" Qin Ge asked, "I still have some things I want to ask her."

"Mingshi? Do you know her?" Shiranui asked doubtfully.

"Yes, we are in Cooperation, and she also opened a grocery store in my Gangqu. Please contact her and tell her Qin Ge is looking for her to discuss business." Qin Ge explained.

"Understood, so you are Commander Qin Ge. Please wait a moment; I will contact Mingshi immediately."
