Chapter 130 At the Beach with Ellie

Perhaps even the sky is delighted by Alicia's arrival...

The golden sand on the beach glittered in the sunlight, and the waves gently lapped against the shore, making a pleasant sound.

Lang Lei and Xiao Aili arrived at the beach and saw many people playing. Some were building sandcastles, some were collecting seashells, and some were swimming in the sea. It was quite lively!

"Wow, so many people!" Little Ellie shielded her eyes from the sun and looked towards the beach not far away.

"There's quite a lot, doesn't Ellie like it?" Lang Lei silently put his left hand behind his back, a ball of extremely cold power spinning in his hand, and patted Ellie's shoulder with his other hand, while also putting another layer of thermal insulation on Ellie.

As long as Little Ellie nods, Lang Lei will not hesitate to give the beach in front of him a big cooling down.

Since it might just be a dream, let him be a little unrestrained!

Furthermore, he is inherently a selfish person, someone who can only see the good in those women.

He felt no pity for them, as they were both not "good" beings.

"Of course not! It's nice to have a lively atmosphere like this, isn't it?" Little Ellie ran a few steps forward, tilted her body, and turned her head to laugh.

That smile instantly melted something in Lang Lei's heart.

Lang Lei nodded and silently dissipated the extreme cold power in his hand.

He seemed to have forgotten that Alicia, as the Herrscher of Humanity, seemed to really like the human race...

So he should try to like some of them...

Let's forget about it, it's too much trouble.

Little Ellie's voice called out again from ahead. Lang Lei shook his head, banishing his chaotic thoughts and putting on a smile.

"Here it comes!"

Lang Lei and Xiao Aili found two changing rooms. After Lang Lei checked them with his mental power, they couldn't wait to change into their swimsuits and join the joyful ocean party.

Little Ellie excitedly suggested, "Brother Du, let's build a super big sandcastle!"

Lang Lei readily agreed.

They found a flat beach and began building sandcastles. Langley was in charge of digging sand, while little Ellie was in charge of piling it up.

As expected of the skillful Alicia, a magnificent sandcastle was soon taking shape.

Lang Lei made several small flags and planted them around the sandcastle, while Xiao Ai Li decorated it with colorful seashells. The sandcastle looked especially beautiful in the sunlight, attracting many children to watch.

"Mommy, I want to build one too! I want to build one too!"

Not far away, a little child tugged at his mother's sleeve and pleaded.

The mother looked helplessly at the sandcastle that Ellie and Lang Lei had built together. How could that thing be built so easily!

Little Ellie and Lang Lei smiled at each other, and at Little Ellie's suggestion, the area where the sandcastle was located eventually became a paradise for children.

"Is it really okay to just give away something you've worked so hard to build?" Lang Lei asked, puzzled.

"Of course, no problem!"

Seeing their smiles makes me happy too~

"Is that so...?"

Lang Lei doesn't consider himself the kind of person who enjoys the happiness of others.

"Besides, we'll eventually have to leave. We can't just destroy the sandcastle when we leave, can we?" Little Ellie said jokingly.

Lang Lei did not answer; of course, there was no need to.

However, Langley knew the human race all too well.

It features heroes like the Thirteen Heroes Who Chase Fire, and warriors who fight bravely one after another.

But darkness also breeds in unseen places.

This sandcastle...

It might not be long before it's destroyed by some people with dark souls.

Just as Lang Lei was thinking this, with a "whoosh," a shovel flew over and shaved off most of the sandcastle.

"Haha, I am the great general attacking the castle!" a snotty-nosed brat cheered.

When the artwork he was working on with Alicia was destroyed, Lang Lei frowned and was about to do something when little Alicia smiled and stopped him.

Lang Lei looked at Xiao Aili with confusion, but then Xiao Aili pointed to the group of children.

The children angrily surrounded the brat. It was a one-on-one fight between the brat and the children. Wasn't that fair?

That way, even if the police come, they can't say anything.

Seeing that things were not going well, the parents of the unruly child nearby tried to go over, but Lang Lei curled up the corner of his mouth and used a little mental power to fix the parents of the unruly child on the beach chair.

Meanwhile, a group of elderly women who were on a group trip to the beach started pointing fingers at the parents of the unruly child, bombarding them with comments like "they don't know how to raise their children."

The poor kid's parents were frozen in place by Lang Lei and couldn't even utter a word back.

Lang Lei and Xiao Ai Li exchanged a glance and burst out laughing.

Then, at Ellie's suggestion, Lang Lei and Ellie started collecting seashells on the beach.

The seashells on the beach are diverse in type, shape, and color.

Little Ellie found a particularly beautiful spiral-shaped seashell and exclaimed happily, "This seashell looks like a little trumpet! I'm going to take it back to give to Mother Seria!"

Lang Lei smiled and patted Xiao Aili's head.

After collecting seashells, they felt a little tired and lay down on the beach to rest. The warm sun shone on them, and the sea breeze gently blew, making them feel incredibly comfortable. Lang Lei and Little Ellie chatted, talking about their dreams for the future. Lang Lei wanted to continue living a carefree and unrestrained life. Little Ellie, on the other hand, wanted to find the eternal paradise from the picture book and live there.

After resting for a while, Lang Lei and Xiao Aili decided to go swimming in the sea. They put on their swimming rings and jumped into the cool seawater.

Waves surged in, and they rose and fell with them, feeling the power and charm of the sea. In the sea, they also saw many small fish swimming around. Little Ellie excitedly played with the fish, and the fish seemed to like her too, circling around her.

Tired from swimming, they returned to the beach. The sun was slowly setting, and the clouds in the sky were dyed golden by the sunset. People began to leave the beach, and it gradually returned to tranquility. Lang Lei and Xiao Ai Li sat on the sand, admiring the beautiful sunset.

Lang Lei and Xiao Aili both felt that today was very fulfilling and happy.

Little Ellie was even happier; having a travel companion definitely made the trip more fun!

"There doesn't seem to be an amusement park here either?" Lang Lei said, looking at the sunset over the sea.

"It's okay, we can keep looking!"

"That's true."

"And I always have this feeling that part of the amusement park is here too~"

"Is that so..."
