Today's tutelary fort remains peaceful.

"That..." Ji Ling seemed to have realized something belatedly, and began to slowly back away, saying with a wry smile:

"I'm very sincere. Admiral and Big Sister can consider it. Um, Avi seems to have something to do. I have to leave first. Excuse me."

"Want to leave?" Just as Ji Ling turned around to run away, Veneto, who was prepared, grabbed her collar. Then, regardless of Ji Ling's desperate struggle, he dragged the blonde loli to the living room and smiled at the frightened Roma.

"Admiral, I have some things to deal with at home, so I won't keep you for breakfast." Veneto said with his back to Xue Cheng without turning his head.

"Don't worry, I understand." Xue Cheng cast a look of hope to Roma, and then warned:

"Remember, you must not be soft-hearted towards Kami. You must make sure he suffers enough so that he doesn't dare to tell anyone about what happened yesterday."

"W-What?! Admiral! How can you do this!" Ghost struggled desperately:

"Big Sister! You can't do this to me! I'm the only one in the department who truly considers you the Big Sister. Could you bear to lose your only little sister?"

"I'd rather not have a sister like you!" Veneto casually threw the smart girl at Roman's feet.

"Third sister! Save me!" The blonde loli seemed to have found a life-saving straw. She rolled and crawled to Roma, hugged her thighs, and huddled behind Roma, trembling.

"Your third sister can't even protect herself." Veneto clenched his fists and looked at the Empire, who was holding out sunflower seeds and a drink, his eyes shining, and asked coldly, "Why don't you leave?"

Xue Cheng also looked at her.

"No." Empire shook his head rapidly, grinning, "Only a fool would leave when there's such a good show to watch."

"Okay then." Veneto looked at her deeply, a strange smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"If you don't seek death, you won't die. Why don't you understand?" Xue Cheng sighed, walked out of the Veneto family's villa, turned around and closed the door, blocking the miserable screams behind him into the room.

The heavy rain last night did not last long. Now the sky is clear and it is a nice day outside.

Sniffing the fresh air without the smell of car exhaust, Xue Cheng thought about it and decided that since he had already done aerobic exercise, he might as well give up his morning jog and walk aimlessly along the path.

"I can't believe it, the admiral actually dares to do that?" Just when Xue Cheng's soul was wandering in the sky, a voice came from the front.

A blonde girl was leaning against a tall willow tree, her left leg bent, her foot resting on the tree trunk, her arms clasped across her chest, and she tilted her head to look over.

Although the early morning after the rain is very cool, the temperature will soon rise, and most people will choose cooler clothes when traveling.

But the girl was still wearing a bodysuit, a black mask, and her long light blonde hair was tied into a high ponytail, hanging behind her head.

"Ticonderoga? Why is it you?" Xue Cheng rubbed his eyes. The girl posing there was Ticonderoga, who dared not follow him again after being beaten up by Mingyu.

"What? Admiral, don't you want to see me?" Ticonderoga took off his mask and put on a resentful look.

"No way." Xue Cheng shook his head and then asked, "By the way, what do you mean by 'I really dare'? I don't think I've done anything bad, right?"

"You didn't do anything bad?" Ticonderoga raised his eyebrows and looked at Xue Cheng with a bit of contempt:

"What about Veneto? Does the Admiral dare to do it but not admit it?"

Veneto?

Xue Cheng was startled, then he touched his nose with an embarrassed expression: "You know everything?"

"Although the curtains were drawn, I heard everything from the balcony."

Ticonderoga folded his arms, closed one eye, and looked at him with contempt:

"If the Military Police knew what you did, you would probably be in jail by now."

"Veneto is obviously an adult, they have no say over me in this matter."

Xue Cheng rolled his eyes. "Also, if Veneto knew those guys treated her like a child, the entire gendarmerie headquarters would be wiped out by the 381mm main gun."

"If Veneto can really do it, the Admiral will be her first target."

"If that's the case, then the same applies to Ticonderoga, right? Isn't it because Ticonderoga assumed Veneto was a child that this incident was linked to the Military Police?"

"That's sophistry, Admiral." Ticonderoga muttered softly, then laughed out loud.

"If Veneto knew what I just said, I'm afraid we'd all be in trouble, right?"

"Of course." Xue Cheng said seriously, "So...keep it a secret?"

"That's right, we can't let anyone know." Ticonderoga nodded.

"I can't even tell Lexington about what happened last night. But, Admiral, are you sure that Ghost and Ugolini won't spread the news?"

"This..." Xue Cheng frowned and said helplessly:

"No one can guarantee that, but your admiral is not a good person. If this matter really gets out and Veneto finds out, I will sell you to her without hesitation."

"What a terrible man," Ticonderoga sighed. "But in order to form a united front with the Admiral and gain as much of his favor as possible, I have no choice but to tie myself to you."

"If Ticonderoga wants to, there's more than one way to tie it together."

Xue Cheng deliberately looked at her with a wanton look. The girl's hot body curves were particularly eye-catching against the backdrop of her tights.

I have to say that Essex-grade dumplings have thin skin, large fillings and are rich in nutrition.

"Okay." Ticonderoga flipped her ponytail, put one hand on her waist, and deliberately struck a pose a model would use for demonstration. She blinked and said, "So... tonight?"

"Ahem..." Xue Cheng looked embarrassed. Aerobic exercise should not be done too frequently, otherwise it will affect the efficiency of muscle growth and even cause muscle loss. This is a point that fitness coach George Evlov has emphasized many times, and he has experienced it deeply recently.

Xue Cheng decisively changed the subject: "Well, Ticonderoga is secretly monitoring me. Aren't you afraid that Reputation will cause trouble for you again?"

Ticonderoga wasn't a juicer. Compared to those things, she preferred playing the role of a secret agent. Seeing Xue Cheng say this, she replied, "Who do you think sent me here?"

"I see." Xue Cheng suddenly realized. It seemed that other people were not completely confident about him living in Veneto's house, so they sent Agent Ticonderoga to monitor him?

"I'm glad you understand, Admiral." Ticonderoga smiled slightly, then straightened his expression and said seriously:

"Well, let's put this official business aside for now and talk about personal matters?"

"Personal matters..." Xue Cheng hesitated, then smiled bitterly and said, "I really can't do it today. I'm not made of iron, and I need a rest too. Please let me go."

"..." Ticonderoga was stunned for a moment before he understood the meaning of Xue Cheng's words.

Giving him a fierce look, Ticonderoga puffed out his cheeks and said with a complaining tone:

"Your head is full of random thoughts, Admiral. You didn't seem like this before. Could it be that the terrible potion is still taking effect?"

Xue Cheng shook his head: "Uh, probably not. I wouldn't talk to you like this in that state, but... well, you know."

"I understand." Ticonderoga pressed his forehead. He had already seen the video of the admiral hunting everywhere in the naval base under the influence of drugs from Dr. Yubari. He was indeed much more proactive and radical than he is now.

"Forget it, let's continue with the previous topic. Admiral, please don't interrupt." Ticonderoga said, "What do you plan to do about Sister Essex?"

Xue Cheng asked curiously: "Jiaozi? What happened to her?"

"What's wrong?" Ticonderoga twisted his waist and walked slowly towards him.

She grabbed Xue Cheng's collar with one hand, stood on tiptoe, and put her little face in front of him, their noses almost touching, and said viciously:

"Admiral, you still dare to ask? Have you forgotten what you did to Sister Essex back then?"

"So that's what you're talking about." Xue Cheng turned his face away uncomfortably, avoiding the girl's breath with a hint of sweetness.

Orange flavor. Ticonderoga must have eaten some candy just now. He claims to be a professional agent, but he eats snacks during working hours. Isn’t he afraid that the smell will expose his presence?

Xue Cheng secretly complained.

"What else?" Ticonderoga placed his other hand on Xue Cheng's chin, forcibly turning his face back, and then said:

"Anyway, you have to give us, the Essex class, an explanation for this matter!"

"Confession or something..." Xue Cheng blinked and said helplessly: "What do you want?"

"What do you think?" Ticonderoga nudged him lightly with the tip of his nose and said unhappily:

"You're the Admiral, a man. Do you need a girl to teach you about this? How did you tell Sister Essex when you were here?"

"what do you mean……"

Ticonderoga pouted and said, "Come with me. Big sister is waiting for you."

……

On the empty slope, a girl in a white dress was wandering alone under a big tree.

She walked back and forth under the tree with graceful steps, as if waiting for someone. Although her little face had no expression, her red eyes revealed a hint of nervousness and uneasiness.

The girl tried hard to control her gaze, but her eyes still drifted uncontrollably to the road below the slope.

"Okay, dear Dumpling." A large eagle perched on the tree seemed unable to bear it any longer and said to the girl helplessly:

"Please stop turning around. You're making me dizzy."

"Bell!" Essex glared at the bald eagle and puffed out his cheeks.

It's a pity that his character is too weak. Even though he is fierce, his expression still looks soft, as if he is acting coquettishly. His voice is also a little gentle and has no deterrent power.

After a pause, Essex asked quietly, "Is what Ticonderoga said true? Will the admiral really come?"

"Don't worry, that little girl wouldn't dare to lie to you." The bald eagle flapped its wings and cackled, "If Ticonderoga dares to lie to you, or if that bastard admiral dares not come, I will personally teach them a lesson for you!"

"Don't call the Admiral a bastard. Bell, didn't you already promise me?" Essex looked at the bald eagle and said, "The Admiral has clearly fulfilled the conditions you mentioned last time."

"I don't understand what you're saying." Bell McCann turned his head away.

"Bell!" Essex's tone became more serious: "I'm going to be angry!"

"..." The bald eagle turned its head and met Essex's eyes. After a brief silence, the bald eagle lowered its head and said helplessly:

"Well, my dear Dumpling, let's just consider it for you."

"Thank you, Bell." Essex's eyes softened. "I knew you were the best to me."

The bald eagle turned his head aside and said in a sullen tone, "No matter how hard I try, I can't beat that bastard... I can't beat the admiral, right?"

"Don't say that." Essex stretched out his arm to Bell McCann, watched her flap her wings and land on his arm, and said softly:

"Whether it's the Admiral or Bell, they are both important family members to me, and no one can be left out."

The bald eagle looked at the girl's sincere gaze, hesitated, and gently rubbed her forehead with its head.

Just as he was about to have some heart-to-heart talk with Jiaozi, Bell McCann suddenly straightened up and looked down the slope.

"Bell?" Essex noticed something strange about the bald eagle and followed his gaze. At the corner of the slope, two figures, a man and a woman, were walking out.

"It's the Admiral and Gaga!" Essex waved happily to the two of them, but then she seemed to remember something. A blush crossed her fair face. She quickly retracted her hand, lowered her head, and kicked the ground lightly with her toes.

The bald eagle wisely left the girl's arms and returned to the tree.

"Sister, I brought the admiral here."

The slope was not long, and in just a short while, Ticonderoga and Xue Cheng arrived.
