Chapter 825 - 76: Why Should I

"What are you doing?"

Celestial Strategy Trading.

Because the scene in front of him was too unexpected.

Tang Language even briefly forgot her purpose, tilted her head, and looked at Xia Panqiu.

Xia Panqiu didn’t realize until she had lifted the Cloud Ascension Authority, and then she suddenly reacted, feeling a bit regretful and embarrassed.

After all, it was quite inexplicable; suddenly relinquishing the Authority Ability felt like she was trying to compete with Tang Language.

"...Nothing, nothing."

Xia Panqiu averted her gaze, whispered in reply.

"Why did you suddenly relinquish the Authority Ability?"

But evidently, Tang Language was not Si Yujie; at moments like this, she wouldn’t be tactful, she’d break the pot to get to the bottom of the matter: "And... the Cloud Ascension Authority actually has this function, a comprehensive compression? It’s really strange, it feels like witnessing a clan member transform for the first time, but my clan members transform from foxes to humans, while you... hmm, from hopeless barrenness to something akin to breathtaking."

"...What do you mean by hopeless barrenness! What do you mean by akin to breathtaking."

Upon hearing Tang Language’s assessment.

Xia Panqiu was momentarily stunned, but couldn’t hold back any longer, her face immediately turned red, and she stared directly at Tang Language, questioning her.

"Hey..."

Faced with the aggressive Xia Panqiu.

Tang Language instinctively became somewhat intimidated.

Even though, be it status, age, tier, or even height, she had the upper hand.

But she was still somewhat intimidated.

"You clarify for me!"

Xia Panqiu bit her rosy lips, stood directly in front of Tang Language, and continued to press her.

Evidently.

She cared a lot.

"No."

Tang Language instinctively straightened her stance, stepped back a bit, even disregarding her own embarrassed state.

And because she made such a large movement.

The clothes really couldn’t bear the burden anymore.

Along with the wailing sound of the fabric, they completely gave up.

Clap——

"Ah."

Tang Language was suddenly stunned.

Xia Panqiu’s movement also froze, then after a second of silence, her gaze slowly moved up, looking at Tang Language’s face.

"...Where is Si Yujie!?"

Tang Language and Xia Panqiu exchanged glances... finally remembering the main business.

She was here to settle accounts with Si Yujie.

But Xia Panqiu didn’t answer at all, instead she reached out and grabbed Tang Language’s neck, shaking her gently, her face slightly red said, "You really laughed at me! But you’ve lived for two hundred years! I’m only a few years old!!! What’s so great about that!!! Who gives you the right to say others are hopeless, who gives you the right to say others are akin!"

"Hey hey hey..."

Tang Language was being shaken, looking bewildered: "What’s the meaning, what’s the meaning! Don’t grab me, don’t grab me first! I’m Celestial Strategy! I’m your boss..."

Meanwhile, inside the toilet.

Si Yujie bent over, slightly raising her rounded hips, reached out to throw water on her face, and then raised her head.

Her beautiful face reflected in the mirror.

At the same time.

The noise of summer Panqiu and Tang Language’s playfulness from outside was transmitted.

She listened to the sounds from outside, paused in silence for a moment, looking at herself in the mirror, then softly said, "Really idiots."

For a moment.

No one knew if she was talking about the two outside or herself.

...

Beach.

Chen Lu Si turned her head following the little girl’s gaze, looked at the shadow behind her, and softly asked, "Can you see her?"

"Yes."

The little girl gently nodded, then moved closer to Chen Lu Si: "But she doesn’t seem willing to talk to me."

"Because it’s her first time making friends."

Chen Lu Si said warmly: "And like you, she’s very shy, but you don’t need to be afraid of her; she won’t hurt you, even if she suddenly appears, don’t be scared. I will also make sure she doesn’t suddenly appear and scare you. If you see her, can you try teaching her some things?"

"Teach her some things?"

The little girl raised her head slightly in surprise.

"Daily knowledge, how to interact with people, even learning-related content."

Chen Lu Si said directly: "Anything is fine, if there’s an opportunity, you can also take her to school."

Upon hearing this, the little girl immediately made a face: "I won’t teach math."

Evidently.

This was something the little girl was extremely bad at. Sheldon by hearing Chen Lu Si mention learning, she remembered it immediately... Sharp contrast with the mature appearance she had just shown worrying about her mother.

Ultimately.

No matter how special her Authority Ability was.

She was just a teenage girl after all.

Chen Lu Si couldn’t help but laugh, gently rubbing her head: "Then don’t teach."

"..."

The little girl felt the big hand on her head and raised her snow-white chin to look at Chen Lu Si’s face.

Chen Lu Si smiled at her.

The little girl became a bit lost.

A few seconds later.

She finally reacted, turned to look at the beach, suddenly remembering another person, who once seemed to have introduced herself to school friends just like that.

"Go study."

This sentence she still remembers.

Though she loathed mathematics but... most of the time at school she was still happy.

And now, just like a repeat.

Except this time she has become the ’friend.’

Again she raised her head, looking at Chen Lu Si’s side face plated in the golden sunset, nodded lightly and softly said: "...Okay."

"Thank you."

Chen Lu Si said with a smile, saying thank you once more.

"Then I’ll go greet her, brother, don’t peek."

The little girl thought about it, looked again at the shadow behind Chen Lu Si.

Chen Lu Si was a bit surprised, seemingly not expecting the little girl to enter the role so quickly.

But of course, he couldn’t oppose it, and nodded: "Mm."

The young girl heard Chen Lusi’s firm reply and immediately took two steps back to follow behind Chen Lusi.

Chen Lusi continued walking forward, facing ahead.

Soon.

The young girl stood within the shadow cast by Chen Lusi, then looked down at the shadow under her feet, blushing slightly, and whispered: "Hello."

"..."

No response.

But the next second, the shadow slowly rose up, transforming into a little girl wearing a white dress, looking delicate and charming.

She slowly turned her head, expressionless, and looked at Si Jiayan.

"My name is Si Jiayan."

Si Jiayan met her gaze, then mustered the courage to greet her.

The little girl was silent for a moment before she spit out her name: "... Chen Lan."

Ahead.

Chen Lusi, with his back to the two of them, felt the gentle sea breeze while listening to the self-introductions of the two young girls behind him. He chuckled softly, feeling suddenly relaxed.

He kept his promise and didn’t turn around, allowing the two girls to conduct their somewhat awkward conversation behind his shadow.

After walking a bit further, he restrained the smile on his face, raised his right hand.

The heavy Book of Descriptions appeared on his right hand once again.

Then, under his gaze, it began flipping pages automatically.

He watched the continuously turning pages of the book, continuously confirming names.

When the book flipped through the second time, upon reaching the second page, his expression suddenly froze, and then he looked towards Japan, smiling lightly.

At this moment.

Accompanied by a clear spiritual power fluctuation.

Tang Language’s voice rang out: "You’re definitely doing this on purpose! Definitely on purpose!"

Chen Lusi looked over.

The three women had returned.

All three had changed outfits, but were not ostentatious. Tang Language changed into a plain white summer dress, sporting cute flip-flops and wearing a beautiful white sun hat.

Very summer-like.

As for Xia Panqiu and Si Yujie, both had changed into swimwear. The former wore a black one-piece conservative swimsuit dress that protected everything outside her snow-white arms while outlining her slender waist. The irregular wrap-style skirt covered sensitive parts and a short section of her thighs.

The latter wore a black two-piece swimsuit, outlining her mature and well-proportioned figure.

Sophisticated and charming, with an elegant demeanor.

However, both wore sweatshirts over their swimsuits, covering most of their swimsuits and snow-white skin, making them less ostentatious and eye-catching.

The only thing not covered was their slender, snow-white, rounded legs.

Even under the setting sun, it was difficult to conceal their whiteness.

Chen Lusi smiled and looked away.

"You should blame yourself, and you broke it yourself, blame me?"

On the other side.

Having just landed, Si Yujie heard Tang Language’s words and rolled her eyes at her.

Tang Language bared her fangs and claws: "You couldn’t buy a bigger one, you knew that! You exchanged clothes with me! An Empowerer can’t possibly get the size wrong! Least of all you! So how could you buy something so small, you definitely did it on purpose...wait, are you two jealous of me?"

As she spoke.

Tang Language revealed a suspicious expression, suddenly realized, and turned to glance at Xia Panqiu, drawing a conclusion.

Xia Panqiu, having calmed down, turned her face away slightly, her ear tips reddening.

Si Yujie responded grumpily: "Jealous of your head!"

"Definitely."

Upon hearing their words, Tang Language not only didn’t dispel her doubts, but seemed to confirm something, immediately turning to look for Chen Lusi: "I’ll go complain right now!"

Soon, she found Chen Lusi.

Upon noticing Chen Lusi, she became a lot less excited instantly.

Si Yujie and Xia Panqiu looked over, curious, then stunned.

Under the setting sun.

Beyond the silver white fine sand, where the clear sea water met the beach.

Chen Lusi walked forward, and two little girls were hand in hand, walking behind him, with the sunset casting a long shadow on the sand, almost as if shielding them from wind and rain.

"..."

Tang Language obviously knew who the other little girl was.

Even disregarding everything, this scene was quite healing, so he was instantly stunned.

Xia Panqiu and Si Yujie were also stunned.

Then.

Si Yujie was the first to react because her daughter also saw her, turned and looked over.

"..."

Si Yujie smiled at her, then gave her a look of encouragement.

The young girl shyly smiled, then withdrew her gaze.

"Don’t disturb them."

Si Yujie put away her joking mood and turned to Tang Language.

"We’ll settle accounts later."

Tang Language shot Si Yujie a mild glare, then turned to Xia Panqiu, pulling her hand: "Come on, first explain to me why you pinched me earlier."

Xia Panqiu: "..."

However.

Though she said she wanted Xia Panqiu to explain.

In fact.

Tang Language, holding Xia Panqiu’s hand, stepped again onto the silver-white fine sand, witnessing the absolutely stunning coastal scenery under the sunset, promptly forgot about the whole matter.

The inland fox had absolutely no resistance against this.

Soon.

A frolicking girl appeared on the beach.

Another girl watched her frolic, playing with the sand like a little girl...looking on with exasperation.

On the other side.

Si Yujie walked toward Chen Lusi.

Chen Lusi heard footsteps and turned his head to look at Si Yujie.

Si Yujie stood with him, her eyes on the Book of Descriptions in his hand, curiously asking: "Now can you tell me what this is?"

"..."

Chen Lusi heard her, did not answer, instead laughed: "The swimsuit suits you, looks great."

"..."

Si Yujie upon hearing, instinctively looked down at her black two-piece swimwear beneath her sweatshirt, then shifted her gaze away from the Book of Descriptions and forwards, her ear tips slightly red, but her tone surprisingly calm as she replied: "Thank you..."
