"Let's go, let's go play with the sisters," she said.
After a moment of tenderness, the two walked towards the beach again.
In the distance, the gentle sound of waves, accompanied by the laughter and coquettish exclamations of girls playing in the water, made one's mind wander.
"Ah... it's the breath of spring, full of vitality."
Qin, clearing his throat, conjured images of questionable content in his mind.
How could he miss out on playing in the water?
After all, no man could refuse to play games with girls in bikinis.
Especially a group of them.
"Whoo... calm down, I'm a decent person."
It felt like a big bad wolf entering a flock of sheep.
He wondered which cute little lambs would be "eaten" by Qin this time?
He started looking forward to it.
Just as he looked up at the sky, feigning nonchalance, and approached the girls.
"Bad guy, watch out!"
As soon as the words left her lips, a whistling sound cut through the air.
*Slap!*
Qin Yu instinctively raised his hand and blocked the volleyball.
He looked into the distance, his face darkened, and he said, exasperated,
"Lumine, what are you doing?"
"I'm protecting the beautiful girls, don't you dare come any closer, you pervert!"
In the water.
A golden-haired girl with a delicate face was holding her well-developed chest with both hands.
Her wary and suspicious demeanor clearly indicated she had been waiting there for a long time.
"Ahem, I'm just passing by, just passing by."
Qin, feeling a little guilty, coughed lightly and subconsciously appraised Lumine.
The splashing waves offered a picturesque view.
Her body, wet from the sea, exuded a more pure and gentle charm, possessing a unique allure.
Her fair skin, after being kissed by the sun, had a seductive rosy hue.
Having shed her dress, the girl's figure was still slightly youthful.
But upon closer inspection, one would find that she had all the necessary curves, belonging to the type that gets more beautiful the longer you look.
Truly worthy of being Qin Yu's cat-girl maid.
"What are you looking at!"
Lumine instinctively hugged herself, her voice fierce.
"You told me not to look at other girls, so who else can I look at?"
Qin Yu shook his head with a smile and walked towards Lumine.
He thought, you really don't understand.
Disobedient cats must be punished by their masters.
"Lumine—go get 'em!"
In the distance, the other girls, having noticed Qin Yu's mischievous intentions, cheered Lumine on.
They gathered behind Lumine, peeking their heads out to watch the fun with Qin Yu.
It felt rather like playing "the eagle catches the chicks."
Naturally, Lumine was the "mother hen" responsible for protecting all the girls.
"Qin Yu, if you come any closer, I'll fight back!"
Receiving encouragement from everyone, Lumine's beautiful girl energy was fully charged.
She spread her arms, brimming with determination.
The ones the beautiful girls in the Tea Ceremony House cling to aren't you, Qin Yu, it's me, Lumine!
"Heh... interesting."
Qin Yu raised an eyebrow, a playful curve forming on his lips.
How could a mere little maid possibly turn the tables?
With a splash, he jumped directly into the water.
The girls, with gasps of surprise, were splashed by the rising waves.
For a moment, waves rippled and surged.
This was far more interesting than watching beach volleyball!
"Are you hiding well? The bad guy is going to start catching now."
Qin, with a meaningful smile, scanned the girls with his gaze.
Their various swimsuits were all very cute.
*Cough cough*, he had to control his facial expression.
He looked like a villain preparing to act lewd.
He raised his hands and slowly approached the girls.
No more pretense, so be it if he was the villain!
"Hmph, bring it on!"
Lumine patted her chest, her spirit at its peak.
"Watch out!"
Qin Yu seized the opportunity and pounced like a hungry tiger.
"Ah—"
Waves splashed, reflecting the graceful and slender figures of the girls.
The beach game had begun.
The process that followed was naturally tense and exciting.
Facing the ill-intentioned Qin Yu, the girls held hands, united as one.
They were determined that no one would give Qin Yu an advantage this time.
Then...
The game started, and it was indeed smooth at first.
The "birds and swallows" twisted their slender waists, their movements light and agile.
Their round, tender white legs swayed, dazzlingly evading him.
Coupled with Lumine's defense, they were almost impenetrable.
Qin Yu, unable to catch his target and being provoked by the little lambs, was naturally somewhat dejected.
But soon, things took an unexpected turn.
The first time, Lumine, the mother hen, pushed him away with both hands on Qin Yu's chest.
The second time, Qin Yu unethically grabbed Lumine's small hand, trying to break through directly.
The third time, Lumine pushed Qin Yu away again, and with a bonus kick, sent him into the water.
The fourth time, Qin Yu retaliated, directly picking Lumine up and pushing her underwater.
The fifth time, they wrestled in the water, vying with each other.
"Lumine, hurry up and get out of the way...!"
"No way!"
...
Gradually, the girls stopped their movements.
They watched the two interacting in the water, their smiles slowly fading.
Wait a minute, something wasn't quite right.
How did the mother hen end up with the bad guy!
Finally.
"What is this...?"
Qin Yu looked down at the girl nestled in his arms, like a lotus emerging from water, and fell into thought.
The girl's back was smooth and tender.
A pair of jade-like, warm legs rested lightly on his arm, swaying slightly.
Crystal clear water droplets slid from her delicate toes.
Could this be the legendary princess carry?
"?"
Lumine, nestled in Qin Yu's embrace, slowly widened her beautiful eyes.
She flusteredly turned her face away, her earlobes flushing a captivating red.
How, how did she end up clinging to such a bad guy!
"Ahem, it's just a game."
Qin Yu coughed lightly and whispered.
He honestly didn't let go.
"Hmph, I won."
Lumine, with her arms around Qin Yu's neck, puffed out her cheeks and whispered.
She didn't want to get down.
"..."
The eagle and the mother hen exchanged glances subconsciously.
*Hiss*.
Suddenly, they felt that the little ones weren't that important anymore.
Just as the atmosphere was developing in an unfavorable direction.
"What are you two doing?"
The girls finally reacted and, with puffed-out cheeks, surrounded them.
What a mother hen, daring to steal a bite in front of them!
"Wait, everyone, let me explain—*glug glug*—"
Before Qin could make any excuses, the girls ganged up and pushed him into the water.
The disobedient bad guy absolutely had to be severely punished!
*Splash—*
Qin immediately fought back, engaging in a playful tussle with the girls.
Today, he would prove who was the highest in the family hierarchy!
For a moment, the scene was incredibly chaotic.
Just then.
The once clear sky suddenly turned gloomy.
"Huh, the sea... is shaking?"
The crowd sensed something abnormal and immediately stopped their actions.
They subconsciously looked out at the endless sea.
In the sky, two figures clashed, divine power erupting.
It was the Cryo and Hydro Archons, who had previously agreed to spar.
Silently, a dark line divided the sky and the ocean.
"Wh-what is this?"
Yoimiya asked, dazed, not yet realizing what was happening.
"Run."
Qin Yu's mouth opened, his expression subtly changed.
"It's the aftershocks from the Queen and Furina's spar, causing a tsunami!"
The girls: "Eh—?!"
