Chapter 497: Storytelling
It was nine o'clock in the evening, in Clarkston's room on the second floor of a tall villa in an American residential area.
The room was at most 15 square meters with a bed, a desk and a large wardrobe, and was filled with loli.
Su Xia was lying on Clarkston's soft bed, reading a fairy tale book held high and telling a story.
"A long, long time ago, there was a country ruled by an evil and vicious queen. She used a magic mirror to monitor the entire country and spy on people's lives. She loved to spy on handsome guys the most. Handsome faces, sexy eight-pack abs... When she found a handsome guy, she would abduct him to the palace..."
There must be no lack of things that are not suitable for children. Not even a little bit is allowed.
"As time went by, a prince with a little white dog, a monkey and a chicken passed by this country. He was handsome and was about to go to the Ghost Island to adventure and seek a powerful magic book. He would bring it back to save his troubled country. For the sake of his people, the prince was not afraid of anything..."
"Snow White's skin is as white as snow, her lips are as red as blood, her hair is black and smooth, and at a young age, she has reached the peak of the ninth stage of swordsmanship. She is a well-deserved genius in the kingdom and has a promising future. However, she suddenly received the cruelest blow in her life. The fighting spirit she had cultivated for more than ten years suddenly vanished. The former genius fell to a level worse than an ordinary person overnight..."
"The higher you stand, the harder you fall. Snow White fell into disgrace, and those who were once inferior to her began to laugh at her. The ministers said she was a waste who had brought disgrace upon the country, the knights said she must have angered the gods, and the maids only prepared leftovers for her..."
Originally, Su Xia just couldn't win over that group of lolis - at the beginning, it was just Willy's nonsense. I don't know why everyone started to make a fuss, saying that the admiral was a great storyteller and his adapted stories were super interesting - she started her journey of telling nonsense stories, and now she is getting happier and happier with her nonsense.
Su Xia was speaking excitedly, and I felt that the plot had deviated a bit from the original novel. I wondered whether it should be corrected.
"Admiral, that's not right." The orange-haired loli Dyson suddenly interrupted.
Su Xia put down the storybook, which she didn't need, and tilted her head to look at Dyson, who was lying on the cute Converse, with his tail twisting in the air, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Even if the princess suddenly loses her fighting power and becomes an ordinary person, she is still a princess," Dyson said seriously, "and she is not something a minister like you can bully."
Su Xia knew that his story had many loopholes. It was just a fabrication. He was in a hurry and had no time to think about the logic. However, knowing it was impossible to admit it. He said, "Dyson, you may not know that ministers can be very powerful."
"Even if the minister is very powerful," Dyson paused, "the knight is also very powerful. A maid is just a servant. Why does she look down on the princess?"
Su Xia opened her mouth, wanting to argue, but after thinking for a while she said, "I'm the author, I'm the most important. The author is the most important person in the world. If I say yes, then it's fine... And think about it, if Snow White loses her fighting ability, people will sympathize with her more. How can the rest of the story unfold? How can it be fun? So I have to step on the protagonist first..."
"If you pay too much attention to details, you won't have any stories to listen to." Su Xia continued, "Well, I was going to start with a downplay and then a highlight to create a big thrill, but now I'm going to skip that part... That's it... Snow White, who has lost her fighting power and is distressed, meets a handsome prince. Just like those stories of boy meets girl, they fall in love at first sight."
"Don't they say love at first sight is just lust at first sight?" Anthony was watching TV in her room. When she heard that the admiral was coming, she ran to Claxton's room out of curiosity. The admiral was actually telling a story. She listened to it. It was a strange story that sounded quite exciting. She sat on Claxton's desk chair and lay on the desk.
The historical destroyer USS Anthony was named after a Marine sergeant major in the Spanish-American War. During his service in World War II, he was awarded seven battle stars and a Navy Commendation.
In the game, the old portrait is quite magical, but the revised portrait is a tall and beautiful girl. It's just a pity that she has no combat power, no rarity, and the difficulty of obtaining her is basically zero. I'm afraid many players don't even know that such a ship girl exists.
Su Xia turned his head to the right, wanting to see Anthony, but Brian, who was sitting beside the bed, blocked his view. Brian's experience in the game was similar to Anthony's, but after the transformation, he had a good fighting ability and at least he had some fame. He said, "Everyone has a love for beauty, and there is nothing wrong with that. It can also be true love if you are attracted by beauty."
Su Xia wanted to say what he had said before in front of Xiao Zhai and the others, that being attracted by beauty can also be true love, but she saw Clarkston, who was sleeping next to her, looking at him, touching his face with his little hand, and said, "I fell in love with the admiral from the first time I saw him. Is this love at first sight?"
Su Xia knew that the lines of Clarkston in the game were quite impressive when he just joined the garrison. However, Clarkston's favorability remained the same regardless of the lines, so it was just about the gameplay.
Su Xia's heart was beating wildly. This kind of straight ball was really difficult to deal with.
Sigsby stretched out her hands to push her hair back. Not willing to be outdone, she knelt on the bed, lying on Su Xia's chest, drawing circles on his strong chest with her fingers, and said, "I didn't fall in love with the admiral at first sight. I fell in love with him slowly. The bad admiral stole my heart."
Su Xia felt a little overwhelmed and said, " You two should be more patient... I'm telling a story now."
"Where were we just now?" Su Xia asked, not needing anyone to answer, and continued to talk on her own, "Snow White and the prince fell in love at first sight, but little did she know that the queen was using a magic mirror - magic mirror, magic mirror, who is the most handsome man in the world... The queen wanted to get the handsome prince, she was already thirsty and impatient, and she would use any means to get the prince..."
There was no need for any storybooks anymore. Su Xia covered her face with the storybook and said, "The prince ate the poisoned apple and fell into a coma... Snow White wanted to take the prince back, but Snow White, who had no fighting ability, was no match for the queen. Heartbroken, Snow White ran into the forest and met seven orcs, the Seven Monsters of the Forest..."
Su Xia spoke happily, but it is important for people to know themselves. He felt that the story he told was just a diary, but it was obvious that he was a little self-deprecating.
"And then, what happened next? Snow White met the Seven Devils, regained her strength and became a great swordsman, then returned to the kingdom to defeat the queen, and lived a shameless life with the Seven Devils from then on." Willy was listening with great interest and kept urging Su Xia to continue.
Su Xia was too tired to complain.
O'Bannon raised his sandbag-sized fist and hit Willy on the head.
Willy held his head. "Why did you hit me, Potato?"
"What do you think?" O'Bannon said as a matter of course that she liked to bully Willie.
"I don't know." Willy was confused.
"Admiral, please continue. I am also very interested in how the story develops later." Sigsby spoke.
"But I don't want to talk about it anymore." Su Xia said, "To know what happened next, please listen to the next episode."
Sigsby grumbled. A short man.
"I brought some fruit for you." Fletcher walked into the room carrying a fruit plate.
Fletcher looked around, his eyes occasionally passing over Su Xia, but she still didn't give up. Fletcher liked the admiral.
Fletcher thought, the admiral went to stay overnight in the Japanese residential area that day, and was supposed to sleep with Fubuki and the others, but in the end he spent a good night with them and ended up sleeping in Akagi's room. In other words, she was not completely without a chance, as long as she could deal with her sisters.
Isn't that super simple.
As long as I can coax my sister, can you please beg for mercy and let her go?
Sigsby, who noticed Fletcher coming in with a fruit plate, jumped from the bed to the bottom of the bed first, stepping on the wooden floor with his bare white feet. Fletcher put the fruit plate on Clarkston's desk, picked up a toothpick to pick up an apple and ran back to the bed. Su Xia sat up from the bed and said, "Admiral, here's an apple."
Su Xia reached out his hand, only to see Sigsby pulling back with the toothpick he had poked at the apple. He said, "Didn't Sigsby want to give me the apple?"
"I feed the Admiral," Sigsby said.
"Okay, feed it." Su Xia said with a smile, and then saw Sigsby pick up the toothpick that poked the apple and put it into his mouth. His white teeth gently bit the apple and moved closer to him, his eyes full of charm. The little goblin was so charming.
Without waiting for Su Xia to make any move, of course, Su Xia, as a reliable adult, knew the limits. Fletcher saw that scene, squeezed to Sigsby's side, grabbed Sigsby by the back of the collar, and shouted: "Sigsby, what do you want to do?"
The moment the elder sister's voice sounded, Sigsby knew that the plan to feed the admiral had failed. He bit the apple and couldn't speak. He ate the apple in two or three bites and said, "Feed the admiral an apple."
"Is that how you feed them?" Fletcher questioned.
"Yeah," Sigsby said, and she wondered if that was how they often fed their kids on TV.
"No," Fletcher confirmed.
"I don't think so. Let me show you the correct way to feed the admiral." Sigsby said with a smile. What bad intentions could a little goblin have? The little goblin has a lot of bad intentions.
Fletcher didn't have the courage to do that, so he hesitated and didn't say anything.
"Sister, show me how to do it." Thatcher took the lead in making a fuss. She was fearless.
"Demonstrate, demonstrate."
One by one, the lolis followed suit and made a noise.
Fletcher looked at the little ones who were making noises fiercely. "You really don't know the majesty of a big sister?" However, no one was afraid. Instead, they made noises even more vigorously. She said, "You can't feed them like that anyway."
"Admiral, isn't that right?" Fletcher looked at Su Xia. In order to protect his sister, what did it matter even if he was an admiral?
"Yeah." Su Xia is a reliable adult who would never attack a child. "Fletcher is right. Even if Sigsby wants to feed the admiral, that way of feeding is wrong."
"Something's wrong." Sigsby looked around for a moment, then walked to Su Xia and whispered in his ear, "I saw the admiral feeding Sister Akagi like that."
"No." Su Xia remained calm. He remembered that he had made sure that there were no other people in the cafeteria, otherwise it would have a bad impact if someone saw him, so he used that feeding method to feed Akagi.
"And that's how Sister Gaga feeds the Admiral," Sigsby said.
Su Xia thought that he learned that move from Saratoga. Her sister-in-law knew how to play it and was good at stimulation.
"Sister Lexington, do you know how Sister Gaga feeds the Admiral? Do you know how the Admiral feeds Sister Akagi?" Sigsby blinked his big innocent eyes.
"I don't know." Su Xia said.
"I like the Admiral," Sigsby said.
Su Xia felt a little powerless.
The fruit plate that Fletcher brought was quite large, but even so, it was still enough for so many lolis to eat one piece each and finish it all in one go.
Taylor had already taken a shower. She was wearing a nightgown with her long hair loose. She was sitting cross-legged on the bed. She felt unsatisfied and only ate a piece of apple and a piece of dragon fruit. She said, "Sister, make another fruit plate. A bigger one. One fruit plate is not enough."
"Wait." Fletcher also knew that the fruit she prepared was a little insufficient.
"I want cake," said Converse, "and pudding."
"Yeah." Fletcher had long since gotten used to his sister's endless requests.
"Sister, remember to bring a glass of water when you come... The Admiral has just been telling a story for a long time, and he must be thirsty now." Claxton said, "Get it now. It will be too late to bring water after you prepare the fruit plate."
Sigsby lay on the bed with his legs raised and dangling, and said, "I'm going to sleep here with the admiral tonight. Big sister remember to help me move my bedding over."
"Sister, please help me fill the bathtub with hot water. I want to take a bath with the admiral later."
"Big sister, big sister..."
"Big sister..."
Fletcher looked around. She felt like there were countless "big sisters" ringing in her ears. She was going crazy and would sooner or later develop mania.
Fletcher took a long time to calm herself down, telling herself that she was the eldest sister and it was natural for an older sister to take care of a younger sister. Her younger sister was immature now, but she would be fine when she grew up.
Fletcher felt better.
Nothing unexpected happened. Su Xia slept in Clarkston's room that night. It was rare for her to go to bed early, so she went to bed before midnight and slept for eight hours. She woke up at 7:30 and saw a loli sleeping in a mess on the bed.
Su Xia arrives at the cafeteria at eight o'clock in the morning, has breakfast at eight-thirty, and rushes to the office to read and study at nine o'clock. She is full of energy.
The cell phone rang at nearly ten o'clock.
That was a call from Shang Chu.
What happened again?
Nothing much, just what we agreed on before.
