Bibi Dong Being Sarcastic

Qian Xunji tightened his arms around her, pulling her half a step closer to his embrace.

Bibi Dong slightly opened her mouth, touched his lower lip with the tip of her tongue, and whispered, "It tastes like fish."

"Then I'd like to taste if you taste like fish too."

Qian Xunji cupped her face, kissed her deeply in return, and parted her lips to savor the taste.

Bibi Dong's body arched slightly as she was kissed, and her breathing gradually became rapid.

After a long while, the two slowly separated.

Bibi Dong's lips were slightly red, her chest heaving, and her hands were tightly wrapped around his waist.

Qian Xunji patted her back with one hand and put his arm around her waist with the other, standing in the air above the sea for a long time.

"Let's go back."

"Good."

When they returned to the island, Qian Renxue was sitting on the beach, holding a coconut in her arms, and drinking the coconut juice through a straw.

Seeing her parents fall from the night sky, she blinked. "Were you kissing in the sky?"

"Cough cough, you saw it?" Qian Xunji coughed guiltily.

What do you think?

Xiao Bai stood up from the beach, suppressing a laugh as she waved to Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong: "It's about time, I should go back into the water."

Qian Xunji nodded to her, "Rest here tonight, we'll set off early tomorrow morning."

"Good."

Then Xiao Bai fell into the water and returned to its original form.

Bibi Dong stretched and said, "Let's rest too."

Qian Xunji rummaged through the Angel Ring and pulled out a folding tent, shaking it as she held it. "Want to pitch a tent tonight?"

Qian Renxue shook her head. "I want to see the stars. I don't need to set up a tent, just a blanket will do."

Qian Xunji glanced at the tent in his hand, then at his daughter's expectant eyes, and stuffed the tent back into the Angel Ring.

"Okay, the tents are retired."

He rummaged through the pile again and found three thick fleece blankets and several soft pillows. He then chose the flattest spot on the beach and began to lay the blankets out.

The first one was laid out neatly, the second one was crooked at half an angle.

Bibi Dong couldn't stand it any longer, so she walked over and pointed at the corner with her toe. "To the left."

"A little more to the left."

"That's too far, pull it back."

Qian Xunji was completely at her beck and call, and finally managed to put the three blankets together to make a large communal bed big enough for three people to lie side by side.

Qian Renxue was the first to jump up, lay down on her back, put her hands behind her head, and looked up at the night sky. Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong lay down on either side of her, and the three of them looked at the same starry sky side by side.

"Dad, what's that brightest star?"

"It should be the Tiangang Star."

"What about the one next to it?"

"That's Polaris, it's the guide star."

Qian Renxue pointed to several more, Qian Xunji made up names for them one by one. When he couldn't make up any more, he turned to look at Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong, one hand supporting her forehead, watching the father and daughter ask and answer questions, a smile on her lips, showing no intention of helping at all.

"Your mom knows more than I do, ask her."

"Mother?"

"That blood-red one, do you see it?"

"I see it, what's that?"

"That's Lone Star of Heavenly Calamity."

The father and daughter fell silent at the same time, and then Qian Renxue whispered, "Mom, your star doesn't sound very auspicious."

"The Lone Star of Heavenly Calamity' isn't just a 'Disaster Star,' it's a 'Killing Star.'"

"Hmm... that's even more unlucky."

Qian Xunji chuckled beside her, reaching out to ruffle Qian Renxue's hair. "Alright, alright, stop studying the stars. If you keep doing that, your mom will count all twenty-eight constellations for you, and you won't be sleeping tonight."

Qian Renxue rolled over, lying on her side facing her father. "Dad, do you think Sister Xiao Bai will come with us when we go back tomorrow?"

"Yes, and she'll have to prove that your mother killed the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King."

"Mom is already amazing; she doesn't need to prove it."

Qian Xunji said sourly, "Yes, yes, your mom is the best."

"You're not bad either, second place."

"So, is it because there are only two people in my family that we can rank second?"

"Yes."

Bibi Dong reached out and patted Qian Renxue on the shoulder through Qian Xunji: "Alright, second time, go to sleep."

"Good first."

Caught in the middle, Qian Renxue listened to the two people bickering on her left and right, and silently pulled the blanket up to cover her face.

Under the moonlight, the three of them gradually calmed down.

In the distance, waves crashed against the beach, and sea fireflies floated up and fell.

On the blanket, Qian Renxue was already asleep, one hand still clutching Bibi Dong's sleeve.

Qian Xunji turned her head to look at Bibi Dong, past her daughter's sleeping face.

Bibi Dong was also resting with her eyes closed.

He withdrew his gaze, looked at the starry sky above, and closed his eyes.

The next morning, the first rays of sunlight peeked over the horizon, turning the entire sea a pale gold.

Qian Renxue woke up to the sea breeze, rubbed her eyes and sat up, only to find that Bibi Dong was gone.

She turned her head and saw her mother standing on the beach, barefoot on the wet sand where the tide had just receded, holding a few seashells in her hand, looking at them one by one in the morning light.

Qian Xunji was still lying down, one arm resting on his forehead, breathing evenly.

Qian Renxue reached out and pinched his nose without hesitation.

Qian Xunji hesitated for three seconds, then opened his eyes and removed her hand. "Could the wake-up service be a little gentler?"

"You stinky dad, the sun's already high in the sky! You were the one who said we'd leave early this morning."

Qian Xunji sat up, yawned, and called out towards the sea, "Xiao Bai!"

On the sea, a grayish-white dorsal fin cuts through the waves.

Xiao Bai poked its head out of the water, a half-eaten fish still dangling from its mouth, and mumbled, "Coming, coming, wait until I finish breakfast..."

She tilted her head back and swallowed the remaining half of the fish whole, then swam to the edge of the shallows, exposing her broad back above the water. "Let's get the fish."

The family of three tidied up the blankets and pillows, then jumped onto Xiao Bai's back.

Then, Xiao Bai turned around and swam towards Sea God Mountain.

After half a day, the outline of Sea God Mountain finally appeared on the horizon.

Qian Xunji stood up and saw a figure already standing on the shore in the distance.

Bo Saixi was dressed in a priestess robe, her long silver hair fluttering in the sea breeze, with Sea Witch by her side.

The Sea Witch saw them from afar and waved excitedly at them. "I can't believe you actually succeeded!"

Standing on Xiao Bai's back, Qian Xunji cupped his hands to his mouth and shouted across the sea, "That's right... we did it!"

"Brother Xunji is awesome!"

Qian Xunji felt completely comfortable after being called out, and laughed heartily, "Hahaha, how come you're so good with words?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a sharp pain shot through his lower back.

He looked down sharply and saw Bibi Dong's hand pinching his waist, two fingers holding a small piece of flesh and twisting it ninety degrees clockwise.

That look in his eyes held a hint of resentment and jealousy.

She said sarcastically, "Brother Xunji, you're really amazing~"

Qian Renxue covered her mouth with her hand, laughing gleefully.

Qian Xunji gasped for breath as he lowered his voice to explain, "Dong'er, this is only the second time I've met her today. You and I have been married for ten years. How can these two be compared?"
