Xyrin Empire-Chapter 121 - : Adventure?

Chapter 121: Chapter 121: Adventure?

“Ah ha, it looks like Chen Someone here is quite the ladies’ man, huh?”

Just as I was about to fall asleep, a familiar female voice suddenly rang out above me.

I struggled to open my eyes and it took quite a while for me to make out the figure of a young girl dressed in a grass-green dress through the dazzling sunlight—it was Lin Xue, the generous sponsor and big spender for our beach outing.

“Hmm… not a bad figure…” I purposely pretended to be still groggy and murmured, and sure enough, I saw her bare her teeth and pounce at me.

Five minutes later, we collectively ran to the side to spit out the sand…

It was truly unbelievable, what kind of freak accident would cause each of us, characters with ultimate skills who could take on a thousand, to get a mouthful of sand?

...

“Ptui, ptui… curse it…” Big Sis said, spitting out sand while awkwardly explaining to us, “It went everywhere…”

We all fell silent, then continued to spit…

Not long after, we lay back down on the beach, though now Lin Xue joined us.

The sea breeze was still blowing, the waves still crashing, the seagulls still calling, the twins were still playing in the water by the shore, the uncle was still the king of the kids, Bubbles was still sleepwalking beside us, Pandora was still inconspicuously sitting to one side drinking soda, and Little Baobao was still having a great time crawling all over me.

We lay under the warm sun, drowsy and sleepy.

Although it was quite comfortable, still…

“So boring…” I suddenly sighed.

Lin Xue suddenly propped herself up, shook her head vigorously and said, “Really, I was almost infected by your lazy aura. It’s a rare treat to come to the beach, how can we just do nothing and sunbathe! Why don’t we all go swimming? I see you’ve all got your swimsuits on!”

As soon as Lin Xue finished speaking, we all sank into silence.

“Too salty…” Qianqian said.

“A bit bitter…” Big Sis said.

“…” Sandora’s face turned red, and then she buried her head in my chest.

In the face of Lin Xue’s curious gaze, I shrugged my shoulders, ignoring Sandora twisting and turning at my waist, and said, “Alright, I can swim, but I think it’s too much trouble to fish Sandora out…”

“No way!” Lin Xue exclaimed in a high octave, “You’re all such accomplished people and only this blockhead can swim? Then what did you prepare your swimsuits for?”

“Actually, I can swim a little…” Big Sis said.

“I thought I could swim…” Sandora said with reluctant acceptance.

“To keep a certain lecher’s gaze from wandering elsewhere!” Qianqian said, then together with Sandora, who deeply agreed, they twisted and turned at my waist.

“I can’t deal with you guys…” Lin Xue shook her head in disbelief, then bared her teeth at me, “You lucky guy, enjoying the company of so many women, I just don’t understand how such a blockhead like you can be so lucky…”

Why is it always falling back on me… And Qianqian, could you please not bite me?

Actually, I thought, lounging on the beach and soaking up the sun was pretty nice, but Lin Xue, who had a bit too much energy to spare at the moment, obviously didn’t think so. She looked around, determined not to rest until she found someone to play with.

But the only ones left were the loli trio, Bubbles was sleepwalking, and even if she hadn’t been, this girl wouldn’t be interested in anything other than video games, Pandora was drinking soda, and she definitely wouldn’t leave 100 meters from me unless I went into the water first, Little Baobao was still excitedly climbing all over me. Lin Xue was sure that this little one who was only half a month old would surely sink to the bottom of the sea even if she was put in a swimming ring…

Even though she wouldn’t be in any trouble even if she sank to the bottom of the sea… and I guess she might even have fun curiously playing with various fish at the bottom of the sea all day, right?

As for the others…

Lin Xue looked at the twins playing in the shallows and shook her head. Once those sisters started interacting with each other, they were completely exclusive. Aside from Pandora and Chen Jun being able to get their attention, even Sandora found it hard to get the twins to stop. If she went over herself? She’d probably end up just blowing in the seaside breeze for hours…

There was also… the knight in sunglasses playing with the kids in the sand…

Lin Xue shivered. That would be worse than lying on the beach with Qianqian and the others, basking in the sun…

Lin Xue pouted, reluctantly lying down next to us on the giant plastic sheet, starting to tan her back. Then, just when all of us were about to fall asleep again, she suddenly yelled out, “Got it!”

Then all of us sprang up with the agility of fish, looking around before starting to eye Lin Xue with predatory interest.

Being stared at by several ultimate weapons, even someone as thick-skinned as Lin Xue couldn’t help but shiver all over, and quickly explained, “Wait—what I mean is, I know a fun place!”

I had a bad feeling…

“Let’s go on an adventure!”

My feeling was confirmed…

Like me, the others collectively shuddered, uh, except for the heartless Little Baobao, who was now staring at Lin Xue with sparkling eyes, seemingly full of curiosity about the so-called adventure.

Innocent little girl, you have no idea that danger is everywhere in this world, let alone that anything related to Lin Xue is filled with even more danger. And what’s more, more, even more important, is that Lin Xue had dubbed it an “adventure.”

Ever since meeting this Miss with a never-ending stream of problems, I deeply realized how much trouble she could cause. She seemed to have a special ability to turn any trivial matter for others into a problem so big, it could have the Imperial Leader scratching his head. This could be seen from how she turned my winter vacation into an epic Otherworld salvation story.

So when we heard “adventure” from Lin Xue’s mouth, we collectively lay down again, signaling with our bodies that other than tanning our backs, we had no interest in any mundane matters. I even deliberately pulled over the confused Little Baobao and the eager Pandora. These two Loli, one naive and one with a fiery passion for all kinds of strife and danger, could cause quite the stir if not kept under careful watch. If we weren’t careful, we might wake up surrounded by dozens of MS units.

“Hey, hey, hey! Don’t you think you’re all being a bit disrespectful?” Lin Xue jumped up and down in frustration, “It took me a lot of effort to decide to take you to the secret base my brother and I used to play at when we were kids!”

Lin Xue’s childhood secret base? This character had a time filled with such innocence and purity? I thought the day Lin Xue was born, she’d be running around with a little flag saying “I am trouble”!

“Pack your bags, let’s set off!” I jumped up, pumped, and pointed ahead. Little Baobao mimicked me, standing next to me with her little fist out, yelling toward the distance—cuteness overload with five-plus exclamation marks!

A vein throbbed on Lin Xue’s forehead. Then, without hesitation, she delivered an uppercut to me, and then picked up Little Baobao, gently saying, “Kids shouldn’t learn such crazy behavior, okay~~”

Don’t you think such a contrast is too much?

A childhood secret base, filled with such childlike wonder and fond memories. I never expected Lin Xue, the ultimate troublemaker now known as Miss Lin, also had such an innocent time. Such an intriguing and gossip-worthy place— even if it hid an alien, I had to check it out!

I figured the others who came with me had the same idea.

Bubbles didn’t join us. For her, such dull adventures were less interesting than RPGs. Asidora and Asidora didn’t come either, as they had to take care of Bubbles who would enter a sleepwalking state once she started playing games. Sicaro also didn’t join; he was busy with his grand plans to establish a pirated disc market nearby. My sister didn’t come along either, as she had no interest in such activities, preferring to get a tan on the beach to achieve “a healthy wheat-colored skin”—I found this highly dubious, given her array of sunscreens and her strange never-getting-tan constitution.

So, in the end, it was just me, Qianqian, Sandora, Pandora, and Little Baobao who set off with Lin Xue.

Actually, saying five people isn’t quite right, it should be six—including Alaya, who spends her days in my Spirit World either sleeping, spacing out, or sharing her vision with me to watch Korean dramas. Angel Sister, because of her conspicuous appearance, had to keep hiding from the crowd. She’d only come out for air occasionally, and she had to be careful not to get ambushed by Little Baobao (the little tyke had a huge interest in anything shiny, and obviously, Alaya radiated Holy Light…). This rare opportunity to go out, I naturally wanted to let her have some fresh air, though I wasn’t sure how likely it was for a member of the World Arbitration Agency to get sick from being cooped up.

And so, our group of seven boarded what was heading to a remote island on the sea—a luxury yacht…
