Xiao Wu didn't understand what Qi Ling meant, so she peeked out and looked towards the door, where she saw Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.
Clearly, these two had the same plan as Xiao Wu —to invite Qi Ling for a walk on the beach—but Xiao Wu beat them to it and almost succeeded.
" Xiao Wu! You little rascal, you actually ran away! You're so cunning!" Ning Rongrong said. "If Zhu Zhuqing and I hadn't come over, we wouldn't have found you!"
Xiao Wu stuck out her tongue and said, "Alright, fine, we can go together! Brother Qi, let's go!"
In the end, Qi Ling accompanied the three of them to the beach. Upon arriving at the beach, they unexpectedly encountered a person named Jian Lan, who was leisurely strolling along the shore. Upon seeing them, Jian Lan greeted them warmly.
"Hey, Jian Lan? You're not asleep either?" Qi Ling asked, stepping forward. "Could it be that this is also your first time seeing the ocean?"
Jian Lan smiled and said, "I rarely go out, and the few years I did travel were all inland, so this is indeed the first time I've seen the sea."
"Haha, so you can be like a little kid and couldn't resist coming to the beach!" Qi Ling laughed.
Jian Lan then joined the group, and Ning Rongrong pulled Jian Lan aside and whispered, " Sister Jian Lan, you didn't also anticipate Qi Ling's arrival, so you were waiting here on purpose, did you?"
"Hehe, who knows?" Jian Lan laughed.
After walking along the beach, the group arrived at a secluded spot. Ning Rongrong suddenly grabbed Qi Ling and said with a smile, " Qi Ling, wait for us here. I have something to show you!"
"Remember, no peeking! Otherwise we'll get angry!" Ning Rongrong said, pulling the group behind a rock and taking out a cloth from her Soul Tool to cover themselves.
Qi Ling watched the four women acting mysteriously, wondering what they were up to. But when the four women reappeared, Qi Ling's mouth dropped open, and she was speechless. All four of them had changed into suitable swimsuits and walked out!
"How is it, Brother Qi? Does it look good?" Xiao Wu asked Qi Ling with a smile. "Is this that bikini? We wandered around the city for ages before we finally bought it."
Ning Rongrong blushed and said, "How embarrassing! These two pieces of cloth barely cover anything! Qi Ling, I'm only showing this to you, you'd better be very grateful!"
Zhu Zhuqing, on the other hand, wearing a black bikini, undoubtedly carried the outfit best. The reason is that a certain part of her body was so magnificent that it gave people the feeling of facing the ocean.
To Qi Ling's surprise, Jian Lan, dressed in a white one-piece bikini, gracefully walked out, her usual ethereal aura replaced by a touch of allure.
"Does it look good, Qi Ling?" Jian Lan asked Qi Ling with a smile. "Will I feel awkward wearing this?"
"No, no, no, it doesn't look awkward at all, it looks great!" Qi Ling hurriedly said, "In fact, Jian Lan, you suited me much better than I expected!"
Hearing Qi Ling praise Jian Lan, Xiao Wu immediately rushed over and said, " Brother Qi, what about me? Do I look good in this outfit?"
Faced with such stimulation, Qi Ling dared not watch any longer, after all, she was not confident that she could remain rational under such circumstances.
Qi Ling had always thought that she wasn't such a conservative or old-fashioned person, so she wouldn't feel anything even if others saw them wearing swimsuits.
But now that she had actually seen it in person, a strong sense of possessiveness arose in Qi Ling's heart. This kind of scenery should only be appreciated by her. If there were other men present, she would probably be unable to resist gouging out their eyes.
Afterwards, since there was still time, the girls went swimming in the sea together. Fortunately, it was a shallow area and the water temperature was just right, so they had a great time.
"Sigh, this kind of scenery is really meant to be enjoyed alone!" Qi Ling said, sitting by the sea. "If a man were to come here right now, I would definitely..."
"Hey? Boss Qi, what are you doing here? What are you doing..." Just then, Oscar's voice came, but before he could finish speaking, he was forcefully interrupted by Qi Ling.
"Ah-da!"
Looking at Oscar, who had collapsed on the ground, Qi Ling said helplessly, "Sigh, Oscar, don't blame me. I'm doing this for your own good. Otherwise, I can't very well gouge out your eyes, can I?"
The next day, everyone came out of their rooms for breakfast. Oscar, clutching his head, said, " Boss Qi, my head hurts so much! Do you know what's wrong? And how did I get back to the hotel yesterday? I have absolutely no memory of it!"
"Oh, well, Xiao Ao, you must have been too tired yesterday, that's why you had a headache!" Qi Ling said. "And you fell asleep as soon as you got back, so of course you don't remember anything."
"Is that so? Looks like I need to work on my training. How can I let myself get so tired so easily!" Oscar said.
After breakfast, the group passed through Vast Sea City and set off from the west gate, heading straight for the port. After all, for people like them who had no experience at sea, it would be better to take a large ship.
The docks here are enormous, with at least twenty piers, each hundreds of meters long, extending into the sea and housing hundreds of ships. After all, this is the largest trading post at sea and a huge source of revenue for the entire Vast Sea City.
Although the ocean is teeming with powerful Soul Beast, it also holds immeasurable wealth! The ocean's area is far greater than what people can see, and living off the sea has long been an unchanging truth in Vast Sea City.
After all, being near the sea, the land is mostly saline-alkali soil, unsuitable for growing crops. Only the various marine creatures can bring benefits to Vast Sea City, making it a prosperous place.
Among the hundreds of ships here, there were large and small ships with very different appearances. After some selection, Qi Ling and the others finally chose a medium-sized ship. Although it was not particularly large, it was enough to carry the few of them.
As they prepared to board the ship, Qi Ling noticed the name on the hull, " Sea Demon Ship," and her heart skipped a beat. However, she didn't say anything and joined the others as they boarded the large ship along the deck.
"Welcome aboard the Sea Demon Ship! Distinguished guests." As soon as they boarded, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties greeted them warmly, saying, "I am Haider, the captain of this Sea Demon Ship. It is my pleasure to serve you all."
