The sky was a clear azure, and the sea mirrored its deep blue hue. The bright sunlight bathed the passersby, bringing a touch of warmth, though for a coastal city, this weather was absolutely perfect for outdoor activities.
Indeed, on the beach of Tianhai City, a group of teenagers, around fourteen or fifteen years old, were joyfully playing by the sea. They radiated youth and vitality, each one a delightful sight that brought joy to the heart.
This group of teenagers was none other than Jing Shaoyu and his companions.
It was their second day in Tianhai City. Since the members of the federal exchange group had not yet all arrived, they still needed to wait for a few more people. However, staying cooped up in the hotel was rather dull, so Jing Shaoyu successfully persuaded the girls to head to the beach for some fun.
And thus, this beautiful scene unfolded.
Jing Shaoyu lounged leisurely on a beach chair, enjoying Gu Yue's attentive service, sipping on a cold fruit juice, and watching with great interest as Na'er, Xu Xiaoyan, Ye Xinglan, Wu Siduo, and Mo Hentian playfully splashed around in the sea.
Perhaps influenced by the relaxed atmosphere of the beach, the girls were unusually lively and excited.
Since they were at the beach, they were all wearing swimsuits, showcasing their beautiful and unique figures without reservation in front of Jing Shaoyu. He couldn't help but marvel at the sight, thinking that such a view was something only he could enjoy.
After all, the beach they were on was a private one, rented at a high price, and for miles around, there were only the seven of them.
Gu Yue, who was beside Jing Shaoyu, wore a simple white swimsuit, clearly something she had picked at random, which was very much in line with her personality. However, even though the swimsuit was ordinary, it still gave off an air of elegance and grace when worn by Gu Yue, a testament to her innate poise.
Na'er's swimsuit was identical in style to Gu Yue's, the only difference being the color—Na'er's was pure black. When worn, it accentuated her fair skin, making it even more dazzling.
Upon closer inspection, one would notice that the two girls' figures were identical as well. Whether it was their bust, waist, or hip measurements, there was no difference between them. Even their height and shoe size were exactly the same. Unfortunately, such a mirror-like resemblance was something only Jing Shaoyu had the privilege to witness.
Gu Yue and Na'er's figures were the most balanced among the six girls. This balance didn't imply mediocrity but rather a sense of perfection. Neither of them had any particularly outstanding features, yet every aspect of their bodies was flawless, like meticulously crafted works of art that inspired awe and respect.
Xu Xiaoyan wore a light blue one-piece swimsuit. Her petite frame made the one-piece not appear childish but instead exuded innocence and cuteness. She was the shortest among the girls, standing at only 1.65 meters, but her waist was the slimmest and softest of them all. The phrase "a waist so slender it could be held in one hand" perfectly described her.
Wu Siduo's swimsuit was the most seductive among the girls, just as her figure was the best, with perfect curves forming an ideal S-shape. Her neck was long and graceful, like a swan's, and her bust was second only to Mo Hentian, reaching the third tier of excellence. Her waist was slender, comparable only to Xu Xiaoyan's, while her hips resembled a ripe peach, tantalizing and full, a delicate branch bearing bountiful fruit, a peach that stirred the heart.
Ye Xinglan's swimsuit fell somewhere between Yue'er and Wu Siduo's, with blue stripes. She was the tallest among the girls, already over 1.75 meters, and it wouldn't be surprising if she reached 1.80 meters in a few years. Thanks to her height, Ye Xinglan possessed a pair of long legs that Xu Xiaoyan envied and resented.
The lines of her legs were naturally smooth, with both her thighs and calves showing a slight muscular tone, especially when standing, exuding beauty—slender, straight, yet not lacking in strength. They were neither too long to appear disproportionate nor too thin to seem bony. In short, these legs were something Jing Shaoyu couldn't get enough of, truly embodying the phrase "legs worth playing with for a year."
Oh, and by the way, Ye Xinglan's feet were the smallest among the six girls, just like her bust.
Mo Hentian also wore a one-piece swimsuit, but in white. Her ample bust stretched the swimsuit to its limits, as if it might burst at any moment. Without a doubt, she was the most "weighty" among the six, leaving both Xu Xiaoyan and Ye Xinglan green with envy.
In summary, the girls were like plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo, and chrysanthemums—each with their own unique charm and strengths, all wings for Jing Shaoyu to soar through a sea of flowers.
"If you really can't hold back, you could just randomly pounce on one of them. I don't think any of them would resist," Gu Yue whispered into Jing Shaoyu's ear, her tone soft and her beautiful eyes inadvertently glancing at Jing Shaoyu's lower abdomen.
"How could I!" Jing Shaoyu straightened up immediately, speaking with righteous indignation. "I'm just appreciating them purely."
"Oh? Is that so?" Gu Yue's breath was as fragrant as orchids, her expression alluring as she chuckled softly.
"You little temptress, I'll deal with you right here and now!" Jing Shaoyu, provoked by Gu Yue's meaningful chuckle, flipped her over and pinned her beneath him.
Their eyes met, and time seemed to stand still. In those fiery eyes, Gu Yue saw raw love and possessiveness. Her heart skipped a beat, and her cheeks flushed as she turned her face slightly, saying, "You bad guy, get off me."
In the end, Jing Shaoyu didn't do anything inappropriate to Gu Yue, nor to any of the other girls. After all, the timing and setting weren't right, and he had enough sense to know that.
They played by the sea until the sun set, then returned to the city for dinner before heading back to the Tianhai Grand Hotel.
At this moment, the Tianhai Grand Hotel was experiencing its most glorious period since opening. Not only was it hosting the Star Luo delegation on behalf of the Federation, but it had also become the lodging place for the Federation delegation. Both the Douluo Federation and the Star Luo Continent delegations would stay here before their departure.
As members of the exchange group, the Shrek Academy team naturally stayed here as well. The Shrek delegation consisted of nine people: seven students and two teachers, Cai Yue'er and Wu Zhangkong. The teachers each had their own room, while the students shared rooms in pairs.
Gu Yue and Na'er shared a room, Ye Xinglan and Wu Siduo shared another, Xu Xiaoyan and Mo Hentian were paired together, while Jing Shaoyu had a room to himself.
This arrangement was personally made by Cai Yue'er. Upon learning of it, everyone reacted differently. Mo Hentian was the first to object, attempting to use the excuse that he was male to share a room with Jing Shaoyu. However, Cai Yue'er ruthlessly exposed his true identity.
Mo Hentian immediately backed down and chose to accept the arrangement. As a result, he no longer presented himself in male attire but instead reverted to wearing female clothing.
The second to object were Gu Yue and Na'er, neither of whom wanted to share a room with the other. However, Cai Yue'er was not indulgent towards them, stating that if they were unwilling, they could return to the academy immediately, and she would promptly call two other students to replace them.
Gu Yue and Na'er had no choice but to relent, as they were only staying at the Tianhai Grand Hotel for a few days. They decided to endure it for the time being, thinking that once they boarded the ship, things would be better.
On their fourth day in Tianhai City, the members of the federal exchange group finally arrived.
The lobby of the Tianhai Grand Hotel was packed to the brim.
The delegation from the Star Luo Continent, which had come to the Douluo Continent, numbered over a thousand people, all of whom were elites from various industries on the Star Luo Continent. Their purposes for coming to the Douluo Continent varied.
To show the importance the Douluo Federation placed on this visit, the number of people returning to the Star Luo Continent also reached over a thousand. Even though the lobby of the Tianhai Grand Hotel was vast and spacious, it could not accommodate over two thousand people at once. Many people stood on the second floor, and even on the third floor and higher levels.
The group from Shrek Academy stood silently in a corner of the lobby, waiting. The head of the federal delegation had already paid a visit to Cai Yue'er, so all they had to do now was wait for the shuttle buses to arrive, board them, and set off.
Just as everyone was idling, a loud voice came through the soul amplifier, reaching everyone's ears.
"Hello everyone, I am Pan Wen, the Secretary-General of the Federal Central Committee and the head of this federal exchange group. Shortly, please let the members of the Star Luo exchange group depart first and board buses number one to twenty-five. Members of the federal exchange group, please board buses number twenty-six to fifty-two. Now, all departments, please take a headcount. We are preparing to depart."
The boarding process went smoothly, and the Shrek group undoubtedly boarded the same bus. Then, led by a dedicated guide vehicle, the bus slowly drove out of the hotel area and headed towards Tianhai Port.
