Hearing the cheers from the enemy across the way, Son of Lin Zhentian felt that he couldn't lose face even if he lost, so he also shouted loudly, "Hood, if you win, I'll kiss you too."
This sentence startled Hood. The thought of Son of Lin Zhentian's bad breath and black-toothed lips kissing her made Hood feel a wave of nausea rush to her throat, almost making her vomit. Her sword-holding hand almost couldn't hold on, and the power she was channeling flowed a bit too smoothly. This was a poisoned blessing! What was this scoundrel Son of Lin Zhentian trying to do? Did he want her dead?
Illustrious, on the other hand, was different. It is said that lust is the primary force of humans, and this saying was absolutely true. As soon as Illustrious heard that she could kiss Azuma, Zuikaku, and Shokaku if she won, her heart couldn't help but get excited.
Illustrious imagined their moist, glossy cherry lips, kissing them, and carefully savoring the deliciousness within. How blissful that would be.
"Ah! I'm so excited!" Illustrious shouted excitedly.
With a boom, Illustrious's aura instantly doubled, and Silver Prayer Qi, like flames, enveloped her entire body. The silver beam of light was twice as thick as before, charging towards Hood with an unstoppable momentum.
"Nani!"
She had thought Victory was in her grasp, but Illustrious seemed to have taken an doping. The silver beam, which was just two meters away from being swallowed by her dark red beam, suddenly thickened, becoming twice its original size. Finally, Hood was swallowed by the silver beam in disbelief.
"Damn it! I almost won! I hate it!" Her body was swallowed by the silver beam and slowly disappeared. Hood shouted unwillingly at the end of her life.
As Hood died, the battlecruiser remaining on the sea also transformed into countless cubic light particles and vanished into the air.
Due to the battlecruiser's disappearance, Shokaku and Son of Lin Zhentian naturally fell into the sea! Shokaku's rigging was sealed by Hood, so she couldn't summon her rigging to glide on the sea. Fortunately, she could swim, so she was fine.
But what about the other person?
"Help! I can't swim!" Son of Lin Zhentian struggled and cried for help on the sea surface.
Seeing Hood finally eliminated, Illustrious let out a sigh of relief. It seemed she couldn't be so reckless next time! Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Looking down from the sky, Illustrious spotted Shokaku who had fallen into the sea. She immediately flew to her side, extended her right hand to pull Shokaku up, and carried Shokaku in a princess carry.
Shokaku was unaccustomed to being carried in a princess carry. Her face flushed, and she tried to struggle. "Let me go!"
"Princess, don't move. This knight has just defeated the evil dragon and is a bit weak now. If you keep this up, we'll both fall!" Illustrious opposed Shokaku's request.
Shokaku also felt that since someone had kindly come to save her, it would be a bit unreasonable to continue like this. So, with a flushed face, she buried herself in Illustrious's chest, allowing the princess carry to continue.
Seeing Shokaku's delicate appearance, Illustrious felt like teasing her. She blew a warm breath into Shokaku's small, cute ear and said, "Princess, hold on tight!"
Her ear was Shokaku's sensitive spot, and Illustrious's breath made her feel very comfortable, almost making her cry out. Fortunately, she covered her cherry lips with her slender hand in time, or she would have made a fool of herself!
Shokaku glared fiercely at Illustrious, as if saying it was all her fault, and warned her not to cause any more trouble.
Illustrious paid no attention to Shokaku's warning. She even smiled at Shokaku.
But as she was smiling, she couldn't smile anymore and let out a painful cry! "No, no, no! I was wrong! Stop pinching!"
It turned out that Shokaku, seeing Illustrious ignore her warning, directly placed her hand on Illustrious's soft belly flesh, pinching and twisting it, making Illustrious beg for mercy.
Seeing Illustrious admit her mistake, Shokaku finally let go. "Hurry and take me to see my sister. Are her injuries not serious now?"
Feeling the burning sensation on her pinched belly, Illustrious couldn't help but feel that women's ability to pinch soft flesh was truly a natural skill! "Don't worry! With my help, she's now jumping around lively!"
"You've helped us so much, we don't know how to repay you!" Shokaku said gratefully.
Illustrious joked, "I am an Admiral. If you want to repay me, just become my Ship Girl!"
"Okay!" Shokaku whispered.
It was time for their sisters to find a home. This time, it was also thanks to Illustrious's help, otherwise, the two sisters would have been in big trouble.
"Ah! No!...Huh! Wait, what did you say!? Say that again!" Illustrious said in disbelief.
Illustrious hadn't expected them to agree so easily, so she had just said it casually. But the result didn't seem to be that way; she hadn't expected Shokaku to agree so quickly, which made her a bit disbelieving.
"I said, 'Okay'!" Shokaku replied again, her face flushed.
This time, Illustrious heard it clearly! She hadn't expected her plan to go so smoothly, and it wasn't a wasted effort after all.
"But I have one condition!" Shokaku continued.
"Uh! What condition! Ah! I knew it wouldn't be that simple!" Illustrious said nervously.
"Don't panic! For you, it's actually a benefit!" Shokaku comforted Illustrious.
"Alright! So what's the condition?" Illustrious asked curiously, hearing that it would benefit her.
"It's to make Zuikaku your Ship Girl too! How about it? Don't you Admirals all want to experience what it's like to have a pair of sisters?" Shokaku looked into Illustrious's eyes, carefully observing, wanting to verify if she was also that kind of Admiral.
"Oh, so that's the condition! Don't look at me like that! I'm very pure." Illustrious breathed a sigh of relief and solemnly stated that she was a very pure person.
"Who knows! Alright! Accept my feelings!" Shokaku sent a contract signing signal to Illustrious's soul network.
In Illustrious's soul network, Shokaku's pink invitation light screen appeared, on which was written: You have received a contract signing signal from the Free Ship Girl Shokaku, YES or NO. Without hesitation, Illustrious clicked YES.
After signing the contract, no matter how far apart they were, both parties could communicate information through the soul network. From then on, Illustrious successfully signed a Ship Girl—Shokaku.
"Alright, Princess, hold on tight!" Illustrious planned to fly to Azuma's side.
Just as Illustrious was about to fly, she was stopped by someone.
"Wait! Save me! I don't want to die!" Son of Lin Zhentian was still struggling in the sea. Seeing Illustrious about to fly away, he desperately called out.
"Sorry, you brought this upon yourself. Good luck with that!" Illustrious said and then took off, using Son of Lin Zhentian's head as a stepping stone to leap into the air during her ascent.
Son of Lin Zhentian was stomped into the sea, drank a few mouthfuls of seawater, and cursed, "Damn it! Do you know who my father is? Not only did you not save me, you even stepped on my head. You really angered me. I won't let you off."
His answer came in the form of several sharp sword auras. Without exception, Son of Lin Zhentian died on the spot, his blood staining the sea red.
