You wouldn't want them to be bullied, would you?

At the time, I didn't wash the swimsuit carefully because I didn't think I might have a chance to wear it out in the future.

"Lady Cecilia, this is the first time I've ever worn a swimsuit..."

Anna responded to Cecilia in a low voice, while lowering her eyes and not daring to look around.

Cecilia, on the other hand, had no such concerns. Her demeanor was elegant and noble, and even after serving as the head of the academy for a long time, her original graceful temperament had not been diminished.

"Anna, you'd better adapt well, since one of the few pleasures of Fogsea Manor is playing on the beach."

Cecilia softened her tone, trying to ease Anna's shyness.

Anna pursed her lips and then nodded obediently.

"Lady Cecilia, I... I will try my best to adapt!"

Even so, Anna had already regarded this as a kind of "trial," and her face involuntarily tightened, making her look quite nervous.

Cecilia covered her mouth and chuckled, but did not continue to tease Anna. Instead, she led Anna quickly toward the beach.

Bella and Gussi, dressed as maids, stood on either side of the four pregnant ladies to take care of them.

Yae Sakura and Yae Rin gathered by the sea, seemingly taking a stroll or gazing at the ocean.

Shiyu Qiluo sat on a floating reef in the sea, as if standing in the center of the stage, and couldn't help but sing out loud.

Raiden Mei leads Bronya and Seele in a volleyball match against Houraiji Kusho, Rosalia, and Lillia, with Kiana and Bianca serving as referees.

As for Patrick, Salome, and Shub...

The three had long been "borrowed" by Otto and, together with Cheng Lixue, re-formed the "Snow Wolf Squad" to clean up various collapse incidents.

"Sophia, Alexandra, how are you feeling today?"

As Cecilia passed by the parasol, she made sure to greet Sofia and Alexandra.

Sofia and Alexandra smiled lovingly and couldn't help but stroke her pregnant belly.

"I can feel the baby kicking my stomach."

"Hmm~ Have you thought of a name for the baby yet?"

“I’ve made up my mind.” Sofia smiled gently. “I plan to name the child ‘Vivian,’ while Alexandra will be named ‘Tracy.’”

"Vivian and Tracy? Aren't those both girls' names?"

"That's right, as for the boy's name..."

Sofia paused for a moment, then continued, "Cirin had it checked before, and Alexandra and I have only daughters, not sons."

"That's it..."

Cecilia suddenly realized what was going on, then waved and headed towards the beach volleyball area.

Anna followed Cecilia closely, her pretty face tense, as if this was not a relaxing beach trip, but some kind of arduous battle.

Then, before Cecilia could even reach the beach volleyball area, a purple hole quietly appeared.

Upon seeing this, the ladies instinctively looked towards Lady Hilfalia.

“I did not use my powers; this must have been done by Sirin.”

Lady Hilfalia immediately offered an explanation.

As soon as she finished speaking, Sirin stepped out of the purple void and rushed into Cecilia's arms.

"Mama Cecilia, Sirin has returned from Paradise of the Past!"

“Welcome home, Celine.” Cecilia paused for a second, then smiled gently. “Have you finished exploring the Land of the Dead?”

"Not yet~ I'm just planning to take Bella to Paradise, so I'm going home for a few days."

"Take Bella with you to Paradise?" Cecilia asked, puzzled. "Why?"

"That's because Bella's strength is too weak! She needs to use the Paradise of Past Lives to improve her strength, otherwise she doesn't seem like a qualified 'Quadruple Herrscher'."

sound off.

Angeline and Qiu Bi emerged from the purple void and appeared on the beach.

The moment Anna saw Qiu Bi, her tense expression shattered, and she immediately covered her chest and lower body with her hands.

Meanwhile, her cheeks were already flushed.

"Huh? This is..."

Anna's reaction instantly caught Qiu Bi's attention, causing him to instinctively look at her.

He was slightly taken aback when he saw Anna's clothes.

Anna's clothes were swimsuits that Cecilia had bought before. Because the exercise at the time was quite intense, Qiu Bi had a deep impression of this swimsuit.

Sensing Qiu Bi's gaze, Anna let out a soft moan, then instinctively hid behind Cecilia to avoid Qiu Bi's stare.

"Qiu Bi, hasn't Delta returned?"

"Delta believes she is still very weak and insists on staying in the Paradise of the Past to continue to improve her strength."

Is the Paradise of Rebirth really that magical? Can it truly help people quickly improve their strength?

"Pretty much. Delta's physique is quite special, allowing her to rapidly enhance her strength based on external conditions. However, even ordinary humans can achieve significant improvements in the Paradise of the Past."

Upon hearing this, Cecilia's curiosity was immediately piqued.

Chapter 240 Rosalia: "That's a foul!"

Cecilia had already been thinking about going to Paradise, and upon hearing Qiu Bi's words, her curiosity was immediately ignited, and she decided to go there immediately.

However, considering that Anna's special training program was not yet over, Cecilia temporarily suppressed the idea.

"Qiu Bi, how many days do you plan to stay at Fog Sea Manor?"

"Two or three days. Delta is still in Paradise of the Dead, we can't leave her alone there forever."

"Yes, take a good rest these next few days."

Cecilia waved to Angeline, and when Angeline came close, she reached out and hugged her.

Then, she looked at Qiu Bi with a smile.

"Qiu Bi, it's been a while since we've shared a room, so I won't let you off easily tonight."

"...Is it too late for me to return to the Pure Land of the Living?"

When Qiu Bi whispered his question, Xi Lin stuck out her tongue, showing no intention of sending Qiu Bi back to the Land of Eternity.

Cecilia glared at Qiu Bi reproachfully, then gently stroked Xilin and Angeline's hair.

"Qiu Bi, Mei and Jiu Xiao are having a volleyball match. Do you want to go watch?"

"A volleyball match? Only Mei and Jiuxiao?"

Qiu Bi suddenly became interested and subconsciously looked towards the volleyball match area.

He then knew who the participants were without Cecilia having to explain.

Both sides are in groups of three. The left side consists of Houraiji Kyuu, Rosalia, and Lilia, while the right side consists of Raiden Mei, Seele, and Bronya.

Qiu Bi walked slowly to the referee's area and sat down next to Kiana and Bianca.

Cecilia whispered words to soothe Anna's embarrassment, then pulled Anna toward the referee's area.

Perhaps Cecilia's comforting words had an effect, or perhaps she had gotten a little used to wearing a swimsuit, but Anna's emotions had calmed down, and she could barely keep a straight face.

However, Celine's gaze struck her as odd; it didn't seem like she was looking at a stranger, but rather...

Some kind of "prey"?

Anna was unsure, so she deliberately avoided looking at Celine.

"Dad, you're back!"

Kiana gave a silly smile, and then Cecilia grabbed her cheek.

"Kiana, don't use Angeline's way of addressing her!"

"Waaah~ Mom, I know I was wrong!"

Kiana immediately begged for mercy.

Upon hearing this, Cecilia seemed both annoyed and reproachful, and then gently tapped Kiana's head.

Kiana pretended to wince in pain, clutching her head and cautiously glancing at Cecilia, feigning concern that Cecilia might be angry.

Cecilia chuckled, then looked towards the volleyball court.

At that moment, the girls noticed Cecilia and Qiu Bi, and before the match began, they made some aggressive remarks.

"Hmph! My sage is watching the battle and will surely witness my victory!"

"That's right! Rosalia will definitely defeat you all and then get Daddy's praise!"

"The same goes for Lilia, and she'll do even better than Rosalia!"

Faced with the harsh words of Houraiji Kusho, Rosalia, and Lilia, Raiden Mei and Bronya were "ruthless but taciturn".

Raiden Mei stretched and said in a lazy tone, "Since Dr. Qiu is watching, I'll have to take it a little more seriously."

sound off.

Raiden Mei displayed the posture befitting a Herrscher, with faint bursts of lightning emanating from the two horns on her forehead.

Bronya scratched her cheek, giving Rosalia and Lilia a firm reply.

"Since Rosalia and Lilia are so confident, Bronya must also give it her all."

Before she could finish speaking, Heavy Bunny 19C quietly appeared, faithfully floating behind Bronya.

As for Xier...

Although she also wanted to achieve final victory, she tried to persuade Raiden Mei and Bronya in a weak tone for the sake of their sisterly relationship, attempting to make her two older sisters not take it so seriously.

"The savior will never admit defeat easily!"

Penglaiji Jiuxiao was not afraid at all. She casually flung her coat away and generously revealed her rather daring and revealing purple swimsuit.

"That's right! Senior Sister Jiuxiao is right!"
