The beach

After the celebrations ended, Nangong Wentian and his companions prepared to set out for the Eastern Sea Region. At the entrance to Beiming Mountain Manor, Beiming Zheng looked at Nangong Wentian and said,

"Wentian, I have to stay and guard the Beiming Xue Snowfield, so I can't go with you. But I'll send Shennong Beast along with you."

At that moment, Beiming Lei said,

"Dad, I want to go too."

When Beiming Zheng heard that Beiming Lei wanted to go too, he punched him on the head without another word.

"Hmph! Go where? With that brain of yours, you'd only cause trouble for everyone. Stay home and don't even think about going anywhere!"

Then he turned back to Nangong Wentian and said,

"Wentian, if you see my elder brother when you get there, remember to give him my regards."

"Yes, I will, Uncle Beiming."

"We're off, then." With that, he led everyone away.

After watching Nangong Wentian and his companions leave, Beiming Zheng turned and saw Beiming Lei. The thought of all the idiotic things Beiming Lei had done sent his temper flaring again.

"Hmph! Get your ass back inside. I'll check the task I gave you later. If you haven't finished it, you're done for!"

When Beiming Lei heard that, he nearly exploded.

"No!" Beiming Lei cried out in anguish.

Even Nangong Wentian and the others, who had already traveled some distance, heard him.

Ximen Xiao said, "I think I heard that dumbass."

Xiao Long said, "Yeah, I think I heard him too."

Nobody paid it much attention, and they kept going.

Wentian said, "All right, forget about him. Let's keep moving."

"Okay."

At that moment, the theme song from Shenbing Kids seemed to come to mind.

"I've got luck on my side, so I'm not afraid."

While Nangong Wentian and his companions cheerfully headed toward the Eastern Sea Region, the Heaven-Earth Alliance Leader was far from happy. At that moment, he was fuming.

"Damn it! Damn it all!"

The Heaven-Earth Alliance Leader flew into a rage, while the Clever Strategist, Jue Tianji, knelt below him, trembling and not daring to move.

Then the Heaven-Earth Alliance Leader turned to Jue Tianji and berated him again.

"A mere Nangong Wentian defeated you?"

Jue Tianji did not dare move a muscle.

"Hmm? Look into my eyes. Tell me why, why, you useless fool, why?"

Only then did Jue Tianji speak, his voice trembling.

"My lord, that was mainly because..."

"Hmph! Useless!"

With that, he ignored Jue Tianji and turned to the crystal ball instead.

"Nangong Wentian, you think you're so impressive? Let's see if you're still such a badass in the Eastern Sea Region."

"Hahahahahahaha! Hahahahahahaha!"

Meanwhile, with Yun Tian in the Eastern Sea Region,

After spending several days together, Dongfang Xiong had grown even fonder of Yun Tian. Since she was already a married woman, she no longer acted shy, often holding hands and kissing him when nobody was around. Of course, that was as far as they went.

"Hmm, it's nice and sunny today. How about we go sunbathe on the beach?" Yun Tian asked.

Ling'er said, "Sure!"

Bailing said, "Yes, yes! Husband, I want to go."

The others agreed too.

"All right, let's head out. Destination: the beach!"

Yun Tian and the others soon reached the beach and began sunbathing. The girls-oh, and the married woman too-changed into their swimsuits. Yun Tian had it much easier and did not take nearly as long to change as they did. He only needed a pair of shorts. Once he had changed, he lay down on a beach chair.

"Ah, this feels great."

Ling'er and the others soon came out and went straight to the shore to play. When Dongfang Xiong still did not emerge, Yun Tian decided to check on her. He went to the changing room and asked,

"Dongfang, aren't you ready yet?"

Only after quite a while did a voice come from inside.

"Yun Tian, the clothes in here are a little too small. I can't get them on."

Hearing that, Yun Tian finally remembered that the largest size available here was only 40D. When he had helped Dongfang Xiong change last time, he had seen that she was a full 42F. No wonder.
