Chapter 10: First Birthday Party (Part 1)
The coast known as the "Golden Paradise" is a secret place located on the westernmost coastline of Elytheon.
The reason why Lahan and his subordinates gave it such a rustic name is, firstly, because it is located at the exit of a sunken canyon. If they had not searched everywhere to defeat a hidden violent iron ghost, they would never have found it. Secondly, because the secret place is less than one kilometer in radius. The cliffs around it are covered with golden leaves of plants that look like ivy. The bright red fruits are delicious and have the effect of relieving fatigue. The fine sand of the beach that extends out is mixed with extremely small crystal particles. Under the refraction of light, even the sea water seems to have become a clear and transparent gold, so that no matter when you stand here, you may see strange natural beauty.
However, although Lahan ran to arrange the birthday party with great enthusiasm, and Xiang Ying and the others were called back to the palace under Rui's persuasion, Beichen was somewhat reluctant to go there.
──Of course, it seemed that everyone was determined to hold this banquet. Beichen's opinions were ignored. Everyone was busy, and Beichen, the center of the incident, was left aside. So she could only go to find Li Ye in a bad mood. ──Surprisingly, when she entered Li Ye's lounge, Fang Ai was there too.
Li Ye seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation with Fang Ai, but when she saw Beichen's gloomy face, she retracted her weird smile and raised her eyebrows in some surprise.
"Huh? I heard from Xiao Ping that they're going to have a birthday party for you soon. Why do you look so constipated?"
"Hello, Aunt Fang."
Beichen greeted Fang Ai, then walked listlessly to the sofa on the other side and sat down.
"It's nice to have a birthday to celebrate, but I always have a bad feeling."
"oh?"
"Su Mo suddenly revealed his identity, Xia Xue said he wanted to hand over to Xiang Ying, Rui and Redis suddenly rushed over from such a faraway Heyang, and for some reason, Brother Glen She left the tribe and moved into the embassy. Yi Zhi is here too... With so many people gathered together, it feels really bad."
"Are you sure they didn't gather here because of your romantic luck?"
"No." Beichen twitched his lips, smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I do have some friendship with them, but if they really wanted to come, they could have come anytime in the past two years. Why did they suddenly choose to show up at the same time?"
“…”
Li Ye was silent, while Fang Ai on the side took a leisurely bite of the Tianfeng Fruit and spoke.
"So besides the Xiangying twins and his ex-lover that my son mentioned, there's also this mess of Su Moxia and Xue Yizhi? ...You have quite the appetite, don't you?"
"Ah?! Aunt Fang, you misunderstood! Those are just pure friends! We rarely even see each other!"
Beichen was so scared that he waved his hands to explain, but Fang Ai rolled her eyes in disappointment.
"Tsk, I didn't touch it. I was actually thinking about how the former number one combat weapon Xia Blood tasted."
“…”
Li Ye whistled with a gentle and dignified smile, while Beichen looked at the ceiling sadly.
But Fang Ai's next words made Beichen's expression serious again.
"I've heard about you. You're truly an outstanding girl. Since my son has no objections, I won't ask about your love history. But it's best to remember that the more you gain, the greater your responsibility. I don't object to him marrying you now, but if you're too sentimental and cold-hearted, I won't stop him if he decides to leave."
"...Yeah." Beichen nodded vigorously immediately, "Thank you Aunt Fang for the reminder, I will remember it."
"That's good. Also, distribute the [Beep──] evenly. I don't want my son's Armstrong's Spin Cannon to suffer. Even if it's hard for you, bear with it!"
“…”
Just as the room was filled with a subtle atmosphere, the door opened and a large group of people rushed in. It was Xiang Ying and his group.
"Master, the vacation supplies are almost ready. When do you think it would be best for us to leave?"
"Little Loach, hurry up and go! We can't wait any longer!"
"Wait a moment!"
Beichen interrupted their momentum of wanting to pull him away right now, feeling both amused and helpless.
"That's the coast! It's all water! You're all metal warriors, right? Why are you so excited?!"
"The point isn't the coast, it's the Master's birthday!" Xiang Ying said seriously, "The Master's birthday is the day the universe was born. Not to mention the coast, I'd go even underground!"
"...Xiang Ying, in your eyes, have I evolved from a goddess into the source of the universe?"
"Stupid Ying is right! The focus isn't on the coast!" Su Jie said with a grin, "The most important thing is the sunshine! The beach! The swimsuit! The sunscreen!! Little Loach, you must wear a sexy swimsuit! And I also know how to apply sunscreen—poof!"
Before Su Jie could finish his words, he was flattened by Ya Ye's punch. Xi Feng on the side snorted coldly:
"The focus isn't really on the coast, but rather the seaside military exercises. The participants will be divided into two groups, using spherical media and employing various tactics to their utmost to destroy the opposing team—"
"Xifeng, are you talking about beach volleyball? Why does such a joyful sport become so scary when you say it..."
"Um?"
“…No, I didn’t say anything.”
"What's the big deal about beach volleyball? Now that we're at the beach, we have to surf!" Yaye narrowed his eyes and laughed. "I'm not afraid of water at all. So, who's brave enough to challenge me? The winner gets to put sunscreen on that damn Matcha!"
"I'm in. I'm in."
Atlas quickly wagged his tail and raised his hands.
"Let's make it clear first that you are not allowed to use wings or cheat with star power."
Then the tail that was swinging violently came down at lightning speed - everyone twitched their lips at the same time.
Fang Ai, who was watching the fun, laughed.
"Xiao Beichen, your vision is truly amazing. No wonder you've taken a liking to my son. Guys, since you're so excited, how about I, your mother-in-law, take charge and arrange a big match for you?"
Yaye raised his eyebrows with great interest:
"How do you say it?"
"To avoid being accused of unfairness, let's split the competition into different events, so everyone can have their own strengths. How about that? Xiao Li and I will be the referees, and the prizes, of course, are a bottle of sunscreen and Xiao Beichen."
"Okay! I'll join!"
Heihuo grinned excitedly, and Sujie nodded vigorously. The green eyes made Beichen shiver.
"I'm joining in too!" Xiang Ying blushed slightly, but still clenched his fists tightly. "I finally have the chance to take advantage of my master openly. How can I miss this opportunity?"
"... Just keep those words in your mind, stupid Kage."
"I'm not interested in people, but I wonder what would happen if sunscreen was made into bullets." Xifeng deadpanned, "Okay, it's stupid, but I'll join in the fun."
...Xifeng, will you die if you don’t feel awkward?
"Humph, if you dare to hold a competition, I dare to participate!"
Yaye seemed to be excited as well and patted Atlas on the shoulder.
"Tails, are you joining?"
"Yeah. I'll cheat in a way that no one can tell."
"...Just compete honestly based on your strength! It's not like you don't have the strength!!"
"But I want to ensure a 100% win rate. I have no interest in applying sunscreen, but I want to use this as an excuse to touch Beichen so that I can become aroused."
“…”
Well, little tail, actually everyone thinks so, but can you please not say it so directly──all men are holding their hearts and holding their hearts.
"You...you guys...I really can't stand listening to this anymore!"
Beichen pointed at the pile of things in front of him with trembling hands:
"I want to join the competition too! Just wait and see, I'm going to win even if I have to use Pandora's Box, hahahaha! The sunscreen is mine! I am also my own!"
"...How is the little loach going to apply it on itself?"
"So, you bastard Matcha, do you like to masturbate? You're definitely a heavy taste... No, this isn't a heavy taste anymore, it's pure perversion."
"I don't like masturbating! It's all because of you perverts!!"
Just as Beichen was making a threatening move against a few people, Yagard walked in from outside.
"Ms. Beichen, please rest assured. Since you are so averse to being touched by them, I will take the championship spot away from you. I will not use the excuse of applying sunscreen to touch you against your will. If you feel uncomfortable, I can wear gloves."
Beichen tugged at his sleeves guiltily:
"A-Agad, you heard it..."
"Yes, I'm here to report to you. Gu Yinyue and Lahan have also been provided with various banquet ingredients by their war machine, so we can set off now without any problems."
"...It's possible, but is it really okay? I always feel a little uneasy."
"Xiao Ying has also thought about your concerns. He said he has roughly guessed what the situation is. You can enjoy your birthday party without any problems."
After hearing Xiao Ying say this, Beichen finally breathed a sigh of relief - Xiao Ying's judgment was still very accurate.
"The palace guards have already summoned the strongest warriors of the Night Cavalry. The elites of the Tuling Tribe will also help. The spirit crystals have been prepared for their return. If there are any problems, they can rush back immediately. So please don't worry, just enjoy your vacation."
It seemed that Yagad also wanted her to have a good birthday, so Beichen no longer hesitated and nodded:
"Then let's gather in the first reception room in an hour and set off!"
So, because the coast was not very far from the capital and there were no poor and weak people in the team who needed to slow down to take care of them, after trekking westward for nearly half a day, people had already seen the sea surface sparkling in the sun.
“It’s so beautiful and the air is so fresh!”
Beichen stretched happily.
"The sea water looks so clean, it really makes me want to swim. Okay, let's change into our swimsuits now. How can we wear ordinary clothes at the beach?"
As she said that, she took out a small tent from Xifeng's storage space and went in to change clothes. Although Gemini really wanted to see a sexy swimsuit, because of the shadow cast by the sunscreen (?), she chose the most conservative girl-style swimsuit with a skirt.
Seeing her come out, Xiang Ying walked over excitedly in his boxer shorts.
"Master, what do you think of my swimsuit? It has your name on the waist. I made it myself!"
Why did you print my name on tight-fitting swimming trunks? Beichen wanted to complain, but when he saw that Xiang Ying seemed very satisfied with the homemade swimming trunks, he swallowed the words back.
As for Gemini──she took one look and turned her head away: I've seen her naked so many times, why is she still showing off her figure by wearing such tight clothes with so little fabric!
"Wow, little loach is shy!" Su Jie winked. "It's amazing that little loach is still shy after seeing it so many times."
"She usually doesn't dare to look straight at me, but not this time!" Black Disaster said with a wicked grin as he took a few steps forward and deliberately struck a ridiculous bodybuilding pose. "Look, look, it's muscles!"
"I'm not watching!"
Beichen walked a few steps in the opposite direction with a flushed face, and bumped into a guy... who was wearing a thick coat like an astronaut - Xifeng.
"...Xifeng, aren't you hot?"
"The wind at the seaside is slightly corrosive. I'm a precision weapon, so it's better to maintain it."
Beichen's face suddenly showed apology:
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come to the beach..."
"That was just an excuse. I wouldn't be a true emperor if I couldn't handle this little wind. The main reason is that I don't want anyone to see me naked. Even with the same sex."
"...Then, there's no need to add more clothes."
"This is a swimsuit."
"What?!"
"It's fully waterproof. Even if you walk directly into the sea, no water will seep in. It can dive to a depth of 1,000 meters."
As Xifeng spoke, he pulled down the hood of his coat, sealing his entire head. There were transparent glass (?) holes in his eyes for observing the outside world. So he now looked like an ET that had fallen from the sky. If Beichen hadn't known that he was Xifeng, he would have instinctively kicked him.
She gave a weak laugh.
"What a pity, Xifeng is so handsome, why does he have to cover it all up?"
"If you absolutely want to see me naked, you can choose to sharpen your blade with me. I can make an exception and not blindfold you."
...So you have to blindfold a woman when you sharpen your blade?!
"Whose is this thing?"
Yaye walked over and patted Xifeng on the shoulder. He had tied his long white hair into a ponytail and was wearing a pair of simple black boxer shorts. His fair and firm curves made Beichen stunned for several seconds before he came back to his senses.
Xifeng ignored Yaye and said, "I'm going to try the performance of the swimsuit" and walked away. Yaye smoothed her ponytail and looked at Beichen, who didn't know where to look. She didn't say anything, but just snorted with amusement.
Beichen turned his head guiltily to look to the other side, and saw Gu Yinyue bending over to test the temperature of the sea water. His lower body was wearing trousers that looked like ancient Chinese tunics, and his upper body was exposed. He didn't know what he saw specifically because his face turned even redder, so he skipped it for the time being. He continued to turn his head.
Then she saw Yagard wearing a Hawaiian vest and shorts, with a silver-white long-handled axe on his back, fiddling with a huge barbecue grill with a murderous look on his face. Although the scene looked very funny, Yagard's expression suppressed the comedic effect, making the aura around him very subtle. However, his terrifying muscles still scared Beichen so much that he didn't even dare to embarrass himself and turned around again.
Finally she saw Atlas, who met her eyes and came closer happily.
"Beichen, Beichen, I want to wear a swimsuit too."
Beichen's gaze uncontrollably moved down half a meter - Atlas' lower body was tightly surrounded by carapace, so he didn't need to wear pants at all.
Seeing Beichen watching, Atlas wrapped his tail around her hand in frustration.
"Beichen, even though I'm running naked, I'm not a pervert."
“…”
Looking at Atlas, who had been running naked for so long and no one thought there was anything wrong with him, Beichen patted his shoulder with a troubled look on his face.
"Don't worry, I'll give you a swimsuit."
"Very good."
Atlas's tail snapped and he shouted at the people working around him:
"Beichen said she wanted to give me her swimsuit!"
Bang!!
The big parasol in Xiang Ying's hand broke, the twins crushed the beach volleyball in their hands, the surfboard in Yaye's hand cracked, Yagard's huge barbecue grill fell directly to the ground, and Xifeng suddenly stood up from the sea, and at first glance looked like a black sea monster.
The golden coastline instantly fell into an eerie silence, and the culprits were either confused or huddled in the sand, covering their faces.
