357: Beach Vacation Routine (Part 1)

Shang Wan Ning nodded. "If the quality wasn't high, why would I have gone to such great lengths to plan this?"

Little Four's light screen bounced twice, popping up a 'like' symbol. "Not bad, the great host is still the most farsighted. When it comes to milking the land dry, you are a professional!"

Shang Wan Ning stretched, her exquisite curves fully revealed under the phoenix robe, her joints making a faint clicking sound. "Since everything is on the right track, I don't need to be constantly vigilant."

"Little Four, search for a place in the Mercury Plane suitable for a beach vacation." Her fingertip swiped across the light screen, pulling up a map. "I want the best kind."

"I plan to take the Secretary-General, Lya, and Olexia with me. I want to reward them properly."

"Beep! Please wait a moment, Host, Little Four is filtering the best vacation spots."

Characters cascaded down the light screen like a waterfall, and four holographic beach images popped up, rotating.

Shang Wan Ning scanned the projections, her gaze pausing for half a second on the astronomical number below "Emerald Island," then she clicked without hesitation. "This one. Expensive? Do I lack these few incense offerings?"

"Beep, confirmed island rental for one week, deducting incense points: 14 million. Teleportation coordinates locked, Host can depart at any time."

... Caribbean · Emerald Island

The sunlight was scorching, the air filled with the sweet scent of sea salt and coconut. Under the parasol, four lounge chairs were lined up.

Shang Wan Ning occupied the middle spot, wearing a black and gold bikini. The design was incredibly bold, with a deep V-neckline plunging almost to the waist, held together only by gold chains behind her neck and at her waist.

Her curves were breathtakingly accentuated. The bottom was a high-waisted bikini brief with cut-outs on the sides, revealing her toned mermaid line.

Her long legs were crossed, and a thin gold chain adorned her ankle, accented with two Netherworld Stones. Sunglasses covered half her face, and her red lips curled into a casual, indifferent smile.

On the lounge chair to the left, Ling Qi had changed out of her eternal secretary uniform. She wore a pearl-white halter-neck one-piece swimsuit, the style exceptionally conservative.

Her snow-white long legs were straight and pressed together, her toes pointed, exuding a cold, 'keep away' demeanor.

On the outermost lounge chair, Olexia was as lazy as a cat sunbathing.

She wore a wine-red lace bikini, the thin straps barely supporting her proud, rounded bust, with a fiery, deep cleavage.

She was slowly applying shimmering sunscreen to her legs, her hand gliding over her skin, creating a beautiful, seductive glow.

"Your Majesty, sunscreen." The Secretary-General handed over a bottle of SPF50+ sunscreen.

Shang Wan Ning took it and unscrewed the cap, releasing a rich coconut scent. She squeezed a large dollop into her palm and turned to call Lya: "Little Elf, come here."

Lya obediently turned over and lay down.

Shang Wan Ning pressed her palm against the elf's smooth back, pushing and rubbing all the way down the spinal groove.

The movements weren't exactly gentle, but Lya squinted comfortably, a soft, kitten-like hum spilling from her throat.

Olexia found it amusing, her red lips curling up, just about to open her mouth to tease them.

"Excuse me." A clear, bright male voice cut in.

The four of them looked up.

A young man with blonde hair, blue eyes, and wheat-colored skin stood a few steps away, wearing beach shorts.

His gaze politely swept over the four of them, finally locking onto Olexia.

"Beautiful ladies, are you here for a vacation too? You look very familiar, like... like the popular Underworld girl group members."

His tone was sincere, with just the right amount of surprise. "Especially this lady in the wine-red bikini, your temperament is absolutely stunning. Can... can we take a picture together?"

He shook the waterproof camera in his hand.

Olexia's red lips curved into a deeper smile as she leaned back lazily, the wine-red lace making her skin appear even more alluring.

"Handsome, your pickup line is a bit cliché." Her voice trailed off, soft and seductive.

The man flushed slightly, his smile polite: "Sorry, I was too abrupt. It's just that... you are breathtaking."

His gaze swept over Olexia's fiery figure again, his Adam's apple bobbing imperceptibly.

"Big sister, let's add each other on the underworld app!" A crisp, clear female voice rang out immediately after.

A vibrant girl with brown skin and a bun hairstyle leaned over to Shang Wan Ning's lounge chair, her eyes sparkling as she stared at her.

"Big sister, gender isn't an issue, let's just be friends~" The girl pulled up the underworld app friend interface.

Shang Wan Ning's eyebrows raised slightly under her sunglasses, and she lifted her chin, gesturing to someone.

Ling Qi's gaze cooled by half a degree, her aura intensifying the moment she looked up. "Private itinerary, no social interactions with outsiders."

The brown-skinned girl didn't retreat, instead leaning half a step closer. "Don't be so cold, big sister! I've been watching you for a long time."

"No, I mean I've been following people with your temperament for a long time. Look at the sunshine, the beach—isn't this all meant for meeting your destined person?"

"Just add me as a friend, I promise to only look at your moments and won't bother you. I'll like every post you make instantly, only send greetings on holidays, and won't chat you up. If that doesn't work, I can be your personal photographer."

"With your figure, it would be a complete waste not to shoot a swimsuit pictorial."

[Good heavens, has this girl engraved internet pickup tactics into her DNA?]

Shang Wan Ning's lips twitched under her sunglasses. The four of them had specially changed their appearances, but she hadn't expected their unique aura and temperament to still attract pickup attempts.

Ling Qi's fingers had tightened on the armrest of the lounge chair; even the swimsuit couldn't hide the low pressure radiating from her.

Shang Wan Ning lazily said to the system: "Contact the butler, clear the area."

"Received!"

The light screen popped up an "OK" gesture in the corner. "Connected to Emerald Island security system, all unauthorized persons will be cleared from the private beach area within three minutes."

The girl was still chattering. "Big sister, look at my sincere eyes. I've been out for five years, I'm absolutely reliable."

"If you like quiet, I can be a mute; if you like lively, I can organize parties..."
