"Alright, alright, it's Mommy's fault," An Nuo said, then added, "I've noticed that people in this world don't call their mothers 'mother' or 'niangqin,' but 'mama.' I think this is a great name, so let's call our mother that from now on, okay?"
Qi Yu snorted.
An Nuo pinched her little chubby cheek.
Shao Feng adjusted his sunglasses nearby. "Speaking of which, the inventions in this world are truly amazing. I never imagined anyone could develop something to block out the sun. Look, compared to the effort of using magic, these glasses are so much more convenient, aren't they? And ordinary humans can use them too. No wonder people in this world have no spiritual energy; they simply don't need it."
The more Shao Feng spoke, the more admiration he felt.
"It's not just that. This world has a lot of high technology. Have you heard about it? High technology is a unique network in their world, and there are many other things. Ah, in short, some things I can't even explain clearly. I feel like I should stay here and train properly," An Nuo said excitedly.
Yan Hua listened and nodded, then stood up. "I don't care much about the other things. Can you take us to the seaside you two mentioned? To be honest, this world does have many things I don't understand and are quite novel, but apart from that, I don't think I can stand it much longer because the air in this world is too dry. I need to soak my dragon scales in the sea."
Everyone agreed with this point.
They didn't have dragon scales, but they just wanted to see the scenery by the sea. Compared to the identical high-rise buildings, they indeed preferred the hills and the sea.
An Nuo and Shao Feng didn't claim to understand the terrain perfectly, but they knew very well which sea areas nearby were the largest and most beautiful. So, upon hearing this, they immediately patted their chests and assured them it was no problem and to leave it to them.
Then, they led their group directly to the farthest beach, Pingyang Beach.
The seawater at Pingyang Beach was all a clear sky blue.
And the seawater had no peculiar odor. The entire beach was covered in fine, soft sand, with many sun umbrellas, plastic tables, and chairs, and a row of barbecue stalls and small seafood stalls nearby.
In addition, there were many people on the beach spreading out towels and setting up sun umbrellas for family gatherings.
"Why does the sea in this world have such a strange smell?" Qi Yu frowned deeply, covering his nose. Before becoming the Heavenly Dao, he was also a dragon. But in his world, the seas where dragons resided were not only clearer in color but also had a fresher scent.
The color of the sea in this world was acceptable, and if one ignored the trash washed ashore, it could only be considered passable.
Yan Hua also frowned deeply, feeling a tingling in his hands.
If it weren't for the large number of people around, he would have transformed into his original form and gathered all the nearby sea into his dantian to cleanse it thoroughly.
However, doing so was not feasible. If he did this in his own world, although it would be a grand feat, it wouldn't attract much attention.
This was because in their world, humans, demon races, and other races lived in separate domains.
But in this world, directly absorbing the entire seawater into his dantian, cleaning it, and then spitting it out again.
Yan Hua could almost imagine the news that would emerge in this world the next day.
These were all things he had learned from the library.
Chen Xi laughed heartily beside him. "Yan Hua, are you having a bout of mysophobia? I had never heard of the term 'mysophobia' before. I only learned about this condition called mysophobia after reading books in the library. I think this illness is perfectly suited for you."
"I didn't dare to say it earlier, but now that you've said it, I think it can be directly diagnosed. You have mysophobia. The seawater in their world is a bit dirty, so what? You're just going in to bathe. The areas where humans can stay are only the shallowest parts near the shore. You can go to the middle."
Yan Hua nodded slightly, but looking at the many humans in front of him, he hesitated and then put his hand down. "Let's wait a bit longer. We'll talk about it when there are fewer or no people on the beach tonight. There are still too many people during the day. I can't guarantee that I won't accidentally forget to control my invisibility spell once I'm in the water and reveal my giant dragon form, thrashing about in the sea."
Yan Hua's words already carried a hint of eagerness.
It was not entirely surprising.
Yan Hua was likely the oldest among everyone, and he had the most dragon scales. He was currently in the process of shedding and replacing his scales, so his scales were thicker.
It was fine in places nourished by spiritual energy, but after staying in a place without spiritual energy for a long time, the most he wanted to do was feel his scales tightening and quickly soak in the sea.
The others were younger than him and didn't need to shed their scales as frequently, so they could still tolerate the relatively dry air of this world to some extent.
They weren't as eager to see the seawater.
Therefore, this had nothing to do with individual magical power.
An Nuo sat quietly on the beach. "My husband and I watched the sunset and sunrise here last night. Although it's no different from our world, it feels more peaceful here."
"Isn't the reason it's more peaceful because you don't have to do anything in this world?" Qi Yu revealed without mercy.
An Nuo laughed heartily. "Yes, I think that's the reason. Before, as the Dragon Queen, I had a lot to do. Later, as the Heavenly Empress, I had even more to do. It felt like my entire life, apart from taking care of you two little ones, was spent doing various things, or learning various spells. In short, I never rested."
But after unexpectedly arriving in this small secret realm, all her burdens were lifted.
The more An Nuo thought about it, the more relaxed she felt, and she couldn't help but close her eyes and hum a song.
Shao Feng leaned beside her, also enjoying the sea breeze with a look of contentment.
The others sat on the beach with their eyes narrowed, not necessarily enjoying it or not, but everyone was lazily lounging.
The way they were dressed varied. Some wore outfits conjured based on posters. The outfits themselves didn't belong to the current season, and their attire was too revealing or not suitable for the season.
But regardless of their attire, the one thing they all had in common was that none of them wore swimsuits.
Therefore, this group of eccentrics appearing on the beach, lounging on the sand and sunbathing, attracted a large crowd of curious onlookers.
