Travel · Imperial Capital Arc (Twenty-Eight): Great Wall Trip (Finale)

And so, Yangyang, Suisui, and Cartethyia formed a team to take down the Great Demon King Xiao, and they were already gearing up for the mission.

At this moment, Hajiling was unaware that he had become the target of Yangyang and her two companions, and was still chatting enthusiastically amidst the surrounding beauties.

"The last stop is the beach!" Aemeath exclaimed excitedly, her steps becoming lighter. "I can't wait! Sunshine, sand, waves..."

"A cactus~ and an old sea captain~"

"Haha, why are you suddenly singing, senior?" Sigrika couldn't help but laugh, her laughter as melodious as silver bells.

"That's called expressing your feelings," Xiao Ling chuckled. "But Little Ai seems really looking forward to this final trip."

"Of course! After all, it's been a long time since I've been able to play at the beach in the summer. And there are so many things you can do at the beach: barbecues, swimming, um... beach volleyball, and even wearing pretty swimsuits." Aemeath counted on her fingers one by one, her smile bright as she listed all the things she could do at the beach.

"By the way, what kind of swimsuit does A-Yu want me to wear?"

Aemeath's bright eyes instantly moved closer to Xiao Ling, as if she really wanted to know Xiao Ling's preferences regarding swimwear.

"Tsk, it's hard to choose now that you're asking me like that..." Xiao Ling looked troubled.

To be fair, with Little Ai's supermodel figure, even if she were dressed in a school Hajiling, she would look incredibly sexy, let alone in a normal swimsuit.

"I think you look good in any swimsuit," Xiao Ling replied, a response he considered fair.

"Hey~ Don't you have anyone you particularly like, A-Yu?" Aemeath smiled mischievously.

"You."

"Hmm?" Aemeath was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly understood the meaning behind Xiao Ling's words, and her pretty face immediately flushed.

"Oh dear, A-Yu, you're really good at making girls happy~" Aemeath said, puffing out her cheeks in feigned displeasure, then pecked him on the lips. "This is your reward~!"

"You little rascal..." Xiao Ling said with a helpless smile after being ambushed.

"Luckily we arrived early, otherwise, with your sweet talk, you'd probably have snatched away countless girls," Roccia teased with a smile.

"Don't unfairly criticize Sister Luo. Before you guys came, I was a gloomy, introverted guy. Who would have noticed me?"

The Rover witnessed Xiao Ling and Aemeath flirting from the sidelines: My fists are hard; I want to drink blood.

But to be honest, putting aside his behavior of taking advantage of his own family, Hajiling did indeed fulfill the responsibilities of a head of the family very well, providing food, clothing, and shelter, and even the various arrangements during the trip did not require them to ask questions repeatedly.

However, the thought of this guy so easily pushing Aemeath away made the Rover feel particularly angry.

(It's okay, it'll be your turn soon.)

"Speaking of which, since we're going to the beach, I could have someone book an entire beach in Qiongzhou beforehand. That way, we won't be disturbed no matter what we do," Carlotta proposed, offering a rather thoughtful suggestion.

"Hmm... actually, it's not necessary." Xiao Ling shook her head and said.

"Could it be that my lord is worried about affecting other tourists?" Cantarella asked with a smile.

"It's understandable that Ling would have such concerns, after all, other tourists who come here are also here to see the beautiful beaches of Qiongzhou." Dania agreed with Cantarella's opinion.

"Oh no, you're overthinking it."

Women:?

"Actually, what I mean is, my uncle and his family have already made arrangements," Xiao Ling explained with a smile. "As soon as they heard I was taking you to Qiongzhou, they sent someone over a few days ago to book a seaside villa, and the beach in front of it is also under our control."

(Money?!)

"So, that means we can do whatever we want? And no one will bother us?" Aemeath.

"Yes, nominally the beach in front of the villa also belongs to us."

"It looks like it's going to be a very interesting trip," Heartfox said with a smile in her beautiful eyes.

"Who says otherwise?" Xiao Ling said with a smile. "Alright, the beacon tower is just ahead. Do you want to come up and take a look with me?"

"A beacon tower is a platform specifically used to light signal fires. These beacon towers are placed at regular intervals, and soldiers light the fires on them to warn their comrades of an approaching enemy."

After standing on the beacon tower, Xiao Ling took the opportunity to explain the origins of beacon towers to the group of Solaris girls.

"Speaking of which, I've been thinking about this since just now. Are these so-called Xiongnu really that powerful? Is it worth using such a magnificent and imposing city wall to block them?" Liang Yu touched the city wall with his fingertips and asked his question.

"From our current perspective, it's nothing, but considering the context of that time, each Xiongnu invasion was tantamount to annihilation for the local people," Xiao Ling explained to Liang Yu in simple terms. "This wall, like Xuanfang City, kept all threats outside. Although the Great Wall wasn't as versatile as Xuanfang City, it was an impregnable bulwark for the people and soldiers of that era."

"Wait a minute, didn't we come here to have fun? Why are we starting a history lesson again?"

"Ling, I feel you'd be perfect as a history teacher," Dania teased with a smile.

"No way, being a teacher isn't for me," Xiao Ling quickly waved her hand. "Preparing lessons and grading papers would be exhausting."

"However, this is a rare opportunity, so why don't we take a group photo here to commemorate the occasion and mark a perfect end to our Great Wall trip?"

"Good suggestion, I just happened to bring a tripod." Sigrika took a camera tripod out of her backpack and handed it to Xiao Ling, "Senior, this is for you."

"OK, I'll adjust the parameters. You guys think about the best positioning, and don't forget to save me a spot."

So the girls in front of Xiao Ling started chattering and lining up, the shorter ones in front and the taller ones in back, and then our Miss Carlotta was once again pushed to the front.

Carlotta: I'm so sorry for being so small!

"Start all systems! Start all systems! And this one too!" After adjusting all the camera's parameters, Xiao Ling placed it on the stand. "Okay, where should I stand?"

"A-Yu, over here!" Aemeath waved and pointed to the empty seat next to her.

"They're here! They're here!"

Once Xiao Ling was completely in her position, she began to read the countdown aloud.

"Everyone, get ready! Five, four, three, two, one!"

"Eggplant!"
