"Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan... wake up already."
Lin Yuan groggily opened his eyes and saw Launch's beautiful eyes.
Seeing that Lin Yuan was awake, Launch's cheeks unconsciously flushed slightly.
"Get... get up already. I've made breakfast. Didn't we say we were going traveling today?"
Lin Yuan looked at the festive decorations in the room, and after a moment, a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Looking at Launch's slightly flushed face, Lin Yuan seemed to remember something else, and the smile on his lips slowly stiffened...
The two Launches had taken turns tormenting him last night. To the point that he still had to be woken up today...
Thinking back on the flawless coordination between the two Launches—one gentle as water, the other passionate as fire.
Lin Yuan even suspected that the two of them could communicate in private.
After getting up, Lin Yuan quickly washed up while Launch made the bed. After breakfast, the two boarded a jet plane and set off.
Their first destination was a beach in the south called Gem Beach.
By the time they arrived, it was already nearing afternoon.
Gem Beach lived up to its name. Countless tiny colorful stones were scattered across the sand, glittering like gemstones under the sunlight.
The seaside villa created from Lin Yuan's capsule stood in a secluded little bay beside the beach, its white walls complementing the azure sea.
That was the convenience of traveling in the Dragon Ball world—food, clothing, shelter, and transportation could all be handled with a single capsule.
Launch stood barefoot on the beach, letting the waves gently brush against her ankles.
She had changed into a light blue dress, her blue hair fluttering in the wind and gleaming softly beneath the sunlight.
"So beautiful..."
Lin Yuan had also changed into beach shorts, his upper body bare and his lean, muscular physique exposed.
The sun was setting, its afterglow spilling across the beach. The multicolored stones reflected all sorts of strange lights, creating a breathtaking sight. Most importantly, the woman he loved most was on this beach.
Lin Yuan set up a phone stand and placed his phone on it, turning on a ten-second countdown burst mode.
When the countdown began, he grabbed Launch's hand and ran in front of the camera. One moment they flashed peace signs, the next they formed hearts with their hands. Their faces were filled with happy smiles, creating a warm scene.
A light breeze swept past, and blue strands of hair tickled Launch's nose.
"Achoo!"
After blonde Launch appeared, the style of the photos instantly became much more lively. They chased each other around, making quite a commotion...
"Don't run, Lin Yuan! Just watch what I can do!"
Just as Launch scooped up a handful of sand and threw it at Lin Yuan, a burst of noisy commotion came from the distance.
Several young men in flashy shirts were gathered around an old man, shouting at him. One of them even shoved the old man.
"Old bastard, this beach is under our protection. If you want to set up a stall here, you've got to pay protection money!"
The old man staggered backward and nearly fell.
A flash of anger appeared in Launch's eyes when she saw it, and she walked toward the group of young men. Somehow, she pulled a machine gun out from behind her back.
Lin Yuan silently put away the phone and stand, then followed behind Launch. He whistled casually, looking completely unconcerned.
Since the little devil in his family had decided to step in, all he needed to do was sit back and enjoy the show.
With blonde Launch's strength, even without a gun, dealing with a few punks would be a piece of cake.
"Hey, you lot, have you no shame? A bunch of people bullying one old man? Get the hell out of here, or else..."
The punks turned at the sound of her voice, and Launch raised her gun and swept the ground at their feet. They were instantly scared out of their wits and ran away with their tails between their legs.
Lin Yuan secretly gave her a thumbs-up from behind. This woman had become much gentler with him now. But toward everyone else, she was still just as fiery—she opened fire at the slightest disagreement.
The old man trembled as he walked up to them and thanked Launch. He also insisted on giving her a pair of bracelets made from colorful stones.
"Young people, I wish you happiness." The old man smiled kindly, his eyes narrowing into slits. "You remind me of myself and my wife when we were young."
Launch and Lin Yuan did not stand on ceremony and accepted the bracelets. After bidding the old man farewell, they returned to their house.
Along the way, Launch kept asking Lin Yuan whether she looked cool and whether she was amazing.
Otherwise, she would mutter to herself things like, "The bracelet is so beautiful. I'm going to treasure it for the rest of my life."
Lin Yuan had never expected blonde Launch to have such a girlish side.
The next day, the two set out for their next destination: Hot Spring Town in the north.
It was said that the hot springs there had miraculous effects, capable of curing fatigue and soothing the soul.
Lin Yuan had not expected Hot Spring Town to be located on top of a snow mountain.
They were already close to their destination, and a towering snow mountain came into view.
"Wow, soaking in hot springs here must feel amazing. The other me and I will definitely have to enjoy ourselves properly."
Blonde Launch looked at the pure white snow mountain with an excited expression.
Just then, she seemed to see something terrifying, and her little face turned deathly pale.
"L-Lin Yuan! This is bad, an avalanche!"
Launch tugged at Lin Yuan's clothes, her face full of terror.
Lin Yuan focused on piloting the plane and snickered.
"Pfft, Sis Launch, even if there's an avalanche, we're in a plane. Don't tell me you're afraid it'll fly up into the sky!"
"No, I mean people. There are people down there!" Launch hurriedly said, her small hand continuously pointing below.
Hearing this, Lin Yuan stopped joking and looked down.
A bus heading up the mountain had stopped right in the path of the avalanche.
The bus was packed with people. Several had gotten off and were preparing to abandon the vehicle and run, but there was clearly no way they could outrun it unless they could fly!
"You take over! I'm going down to save them!"
Without hesitation, Lin Yuan handed the plane's controls to Launch, opened the cabin door, and jumped out.
"Be careful, Lin Yuan!" Launch cried, her face filled with worry.
Lin Yuan landed straight beside the bus. Only when he got closer did he realize that most of the people inside were young, seemingly college students.
He immediately shouted angrily at the few who wanted to flee.
"If you don't want to die, get back on the bus and close all the doors and windows!!"
The few looked troubled. After hesitating for a moment, they obediently returned to the bus. They knew there was no way they could run from it.
In the blink of an eye, the avalanche was already upon them. Everyone inside the bus closed their eyes, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
Watching the "roaring white beast" before him, Lin Yuan's expression turned grave. He took a deep breath and raised his hands before his chest, silver-white energy rapidly gathering in his palms.
"Super-Ultimate-Ultra-Instinct Cannon!!"
Lin Yuan suddenly thrust his palms forward, veins bulging on his forehead.
"Haahhh!"
Launch looked down nervously and saw a massive silver-white shockwave surge toward the white tidal wave, forcibly carving out a safe area.
After the avalanche had passed, the passengers slowly opened their eyes. Seeing that everyone was safe and sound, they erupted into cheers of surviving the disaster.
But when they got off the bus to search for the black-haired young man, he was already nowhere to be seen.
