Chapter 760: A Lighthearted Talk

After causing such a big joke, Qin Ge and Lisailiu naturally had no interest in staying in the church any longer. After all, in the Iris Theocracy, Lisailiu, as a cardinal, knew many people; if they were to cause another incident like before, that would be too embarrassing.

Besides, it was getting late, so the two simply walked to the hotel together, ending today's date.

Although today's ending seemed a bit imperfect, the whole process went very smoothly, leaving both of them with a deep impression.

Returning to the room, Qin Ge discovered that someone was already waiting in his room.

"Huh? Why are you both here today?" Seeing Guanghui and Ou Gen Qin Wang sitting together on the sofa drinking tea, Qin Ge felt a bit surprised.

One cannot say the Royal and Iron Blood factions never interact, but it's rare for shipgirls from these two sides to sit together and chat peacefully like this.

"Nothing much; we just came over to ask the commander how today's date went, so we happened to meet up and chat while waiting for the commander to come back." Guanghui stood up, walked to Qin Ge's side, and while helping him take off his coat, she said.

Qin Ge smiled and said, "How come I didn't notice you two were this... gossipy before?"

"Hehe, this isn't gossip; it's clearly concern for the commander's love life, right, little bear?" Ou Gen Qin Wang said with a smile.

Qin Ge's face turned red, and he said, "Cough, didn't we agree to only use that nickname in private?"

"What's there to fear? Guanghui isn't an outsider, and before you came back, the two of us had already exchanged some experiences, so there's nothing to hide from her." Ou Gen Qin Wang said.

"Experiences?" Qin Ge looked doubtfully at Guanghui, only to see a blush rise on her face, instantly making him understand what those experiences were.

"I say, you two, is it really necessary to tell me this?"

"Of course, because both of us have you as our mutual love interest; if not you, who else should we tell? Should I go tell Bisimai instead?" Ou Gen Qin Wang asked with a laugh.

"Cough, Bisimai has been very busy these days; don't tease her with such questions, lest she become agitated and cause problems in the negotiations." Qin Ge hurriedly said.

"I know that already." Ou Gen Qin Wang said, "But getting back to the point, how did your date with the Iris cardinal go? I saw Emil bringing back a kitten on the way."

"Oh, that's because Lisailiu and I went to a cat shop, bought her a few kittens there, but since we were on a date we couldn't carry them, so we had someone else go pick them up first." Qin Ge replied.

"Ah, that explains it; I said when we were at the port, Lisailiu always liked hugging the commander's cat, so it turns out she really likes cats." Guanghui smiled beside him, "I never expected such a stern cardinal to love such a cute animal."

Qin Ge smiled and said, "What's that supposed to be? Actually I think it's quite normal; to me, Lisailiu seems like a goddess untouched by worldly fire, but no matter how unfamiliar she is with worldly affairs, she's still a girl."

"Girls hardly resist cute things; not just Lisailiu—even you, Ou Gen Qin Wang, don't you also like often playing with the commander's cat?"

"Hehe, it seems the commander now understands girls quite well, which surprises me; where did that commander who used to blush at the slightest tease go?" Ou Gen Qin Wang said with a laugh.

Qin Ge looked at the teasing Ou Gen Qin Wang and the giggling Guanghui beside him and said, "People have to grow; you can't stay the same as before. Or put another way, do you like the old me, or the current me?"

"No matter what the commander becomes, he's still my favorite commander." Guanghui said without hesitation.

Ou Gen Qin Wang on the other side couldn't help but smile and said, "Should I say it's no wonder it's Guanghui? Among our commanders and other commanders, those top-ranked as marriage ships truly live up to their reputation."

"No wonder the commander chose you as his first marriage ship and has maintained such a good relationship all along."

Guanghui smiled embarrassedly and said, "We can't say that; actually everyone likes the commander quite a bit, I'm just a little bolder, daring to pursue my own happiness."

"Moreover, after being a free shipgirl for so many years, meeting a commander I like means I must hold on tightly."

Qin Ge rubbed his nose and said, "Well, it looks like I'm the prey after all."

"Hehe, do you think the commander sees you as a hunter?" Ou Gen Qin Wang laughed, "With so many people in this fleet and only you as the commander, it's basically a situation of many wolves and little meat."

Qin Ge grinned and said, "Yeah, you're all like wolves and tigers, and I'm just that piece of meat in your mouths..."

"That's good to know." Ou Gen Qin Wang laughed, "Then what happened between you and Lisailiu afterward?"

Qin Ge scratched his head and said, "Afterward, Lisailiu and I went to the church, which is where she usually spends most of her time. And because we were in the church, I took the opportunity to slip the Oath Ring onto her in that atmosphere."

"The result was that, just as the two were embracing, a commander walked in from outside the church and happened to see this scene."

"Pfft, that must have been really fun, right?" Ou Gen Qin Wang laughed.

Qin Ge said helplessly, "It's not just funny—that commander actually shouted out loud on the spot."

"What the heck, the Iris fleet's doomed, the flagship ran off with someone, and so on. Luckily his shipgirl knew Lisailiu was my shipgirl, otherwise this misunderstanding would have been huge; afterward we just came back."

"Hahaha." Ou Gen Qin Wang laughed so hard he could barely catch his breath after hearing Qin Ge finish.

"I can suddenly picture that scene; it must have been very amusing."

"That's also true; if I were the commander of the Iris fleet and saw my flagship embracing another commander, I'd react just as strongly." Guanghui beside him covered her mouth and laughed.

"So you're all laughing, never stopping—is it really that hilarious?" Qin Ge said helplessly, "And you say, if this gets out, will the Iris people come straight to me and tell me not to take Lisailiu out?"

"No, at most the Iris fleet will just step up publicity and won't confine our shipgirls. After all, this time they were the ones who asked us to come over, wanting to strengthen cooperation with us; those are matters for them to consider, not trouble for us." Ou Gen Qin Wang laughed.

"That's also true." Qin Ge nodded.

"So, Commander, who are you planning to go out with tomorrow?" Guanghui asked with a smile.

"Tomorrow? Of course it's our Saint." Qin Ge nodded.

"Zhende, that's great."
