"Hey! Take this!"
"Hahaha, not bad! My turn!"

"Oh, okay. Let me put my camera away first."
Weimeng and Firona stood where the seawater reached their chests, splashing each other, and soon called Xiya and Erigat over as well.
And so, the four of them frolicked and played in the shallows like children.

Ye Chen had just finished evenly applying sunscreen to Oko when he turned and saw his teammates' "atrocities." Frowning, he reminded Oko beside him:
"Hey, Oko, they're getting a little too rowdy. I still have other things to set up here. Go keep an eye on them for me first."

Ye Chen turned around in surprise, only to discover that Oko's so-called "scolding" meant treating them in kind. She directly raised a towering wave dozens of meters high from the sea, like a gigantic tiger made of seawater, swallowing Weimeng and the
