Chapter 299 - Helping Each Other With Sunscreen Is Expected
(MC POV)
I sighed contentedly, breathing in the salty sea breeze that can only be found on the beach.
??
The girls told me to go ahead to the beach first while they needed a little bit more time to prepare.
Not sure why they weren't ready yet since they looked more than ready to go when I came down from my room with Cai Hong a few moments ago. Not to mention that some of the swimsuits they were wearing were quite risque too.
In fact, even Alpha, Beta, Delta and Gamma excused themselves alongside all of the other villa staff the moment they saw me.
If it wasn't because of the fact that I can still sense them within the villa, I would've thought they ran off somewhere else to leave me here.
What? Was my swim shorts that bad? It can't be right? I even got Cai Hong's seal of approval after I asked her how I looked and she said "Papa cool!" while clapping her hands.
In the end, only Brendan, Cai Hong and I made our way to the empty beach for now.
"Well, this looks like a good enough spot, let's set up here," I commented after walking a short distance away from the stairs. Though honestly since the entire beach was flat with only a few rocks and trees scattered around, anywhere would have sufficed.
Brendan planted the parasols he had been carrying in the sand before laying down the mats beneath them.
He was wearing similar swim shorts to myself where mine is white in colour while his was green.
I noticed Cai Hong was staring at the sea intently, "What does Cai Hong want to do first?"
Cai Hong looked up at me with bright sparkly eyes, "Papa… Sea?"
"Haha, alright, alright. But first, let's put some skin lotion on you, I wouldn't want you to get sunburnt."
"Okies~"
I summoned a bottle that I had stored in my storage ring, removing the cap to pour a slab of clear liquid onto the palm of my hand.
Cai Hong obediently stretched out her arms, letting me slather the cream over her pale skin.
"Muuu? Creamy, creamy!" Cai Hong sang, watching the liquid slide across her skin.
"Hmmm… Does it feel nice?"
"Brrrr… Cai hong feels a little cold."
I smiled at her, "Just a little bit more then we can play."
"Yay~~"
Brendan appeared behind me, "Master, I heard you mention about it before but… What exactly is this skin lotion?"
I followed his gaze to see him pointing at the bottle I was holding in my hand.
"Oh this? It's basically sunscreen."
"Sun… screen?" He repeated.
I let Cai Hong sit down on the mat Brendan had laid out on the sand, pouring more of the cream to start work on her legs.
"Yeah, it's basically a less concentrated version of the liquid heat shield that alchemists might use to fireproof their things with."
Brendan goggled at me, "Aren't those really unstable? They fireproof things that are coated with it but if they are exposed to enough moisture, it'll cause an explosion!"
"Not if you switch the ratio of fire seeds to slime gel around. This won't prevent severe burns but it will at least make the things smeared with it heat resistant to a small degree and it's safe to put it on your skin too."
"And to remove it?"
"It'll naturally disintegrate after a few hours. It's also water resistant so you can go swim in it too."
"Ehehehe~ Papa! That tickles!" Cai hong laughed as I rubbed the lotion in between the toes on her right feet.
Brendan looked at the bottle again, "Could I try that too?"
I tossed him another bottle from my storage ring, "Sure, don't put too much though, just a thin layer on your exposed skin will do."
I continued with Cai Hong's other leg, the loli dragon giggling all the while.
When I was finally done, Cai hong stood up with glee, her skin practically glowing under the sunlight.
"Papa! Cai Hong help Papa put sun 'scweam' too!"
"Hahaha, ok, ok. Here," I dripped some of the liquid onto Cai Hong's hands and she immediately splattered her hands on my arm, rubbing it playfully.
So distracted I was with watching Cai Hong playing with my arm that I got surprised by a pair of hands rubbing across my back.
"Let me handle your back for you, Master," Brendan muttered, his palm moving slowly across my back.
Well, I guess since he offered, no reason to deny him.
Brendan leaned on my back, his hands gliding across my skin as his breath tickled the back of my neck which sent slight shivers down my spine.
Cai hong continued with my other arm, humming a tune as she slathered my arm with her tiny hands.
"Is this ok, Master?" Brendan whispered.
"Ye… Yeah…"
His hands kneaded my shoulder muscles, applying just the right amount of strength for me to relax. His hands were cold to the touch, making it comfortable in the summer heat.
His hands slowly snaked its way forward, wrapping towards the front of my chest and reaching for my--
Something crashed into Brendan to send him flying away out of nowhere.
I looked back to see a smiling Manami standing behind me with the bottle in her hand. Where she had previously worn a normal bikini, she had now switched to a slingshot bikini instead that left almost nothing to imagination.
She did add a shawl that was draped across her back to hang onto her arms, so at least it wasn't that indecent.
"Master! Allow me to apply it instead!" She requested with an innocent smile.
I looked to the side to see Brendan buried up to his waist in the sand, his butt sticking up into the air prominently.
Kiyomi was squatted down beside him and started poking him with a stick, the man remaining unresponsive the whole time.
Seems like the fox sisters were the first to finish whatever they had been busy with since I don't see any of the other girls around.
I decided not to comment and simply nodded my consent before showing my back to Manami..
She gave a yelp of glee and immediately continued from where Brendan had left off.
Cai Hong had moved to my chest now and started playing with my chest muscles, squeezing them softly while giggling "squishy, squish!".
Two soft things pushed themselves against my back and began moving up and down.
There was the distinct feeling of two pointy things on those two mounds and I didn't need to look back to know what my fox disciple was doing.
"Is this good, Master?" She whispered breathily into my ear, her movements not slowing down at all.
I couldn't move much since Cai Hong was still seated in front of me, the little girl distracted by how shiny my skin had gotten because of the lotion.
No way I want her to learn how naughty her older sisters are, so I just grunted in response.
Manami took that response as an invitation to get bolder and squished herself on my back, wrapping her arms around my chest.
"Papa, so hard!" Cai Hong giggled, poking at my abs.
"Ufufufu~ Is something else getting hard, Master?" Manami whispered sultrily beside my ear.
Before I could respond, something smacked the top of Manami's head, causing her to yelp out more in surprise than pain.
Behind her was her sister with her hand outstretched.
"Please refrain from such indecency dear sister. You are troubling Master."
Manami chuckled as she fixed her bikini back into place, "Ara, ara? Is my cute little Kiyomi jealous? We can share, don't worry~"
Kiyomi snorted before picking up the bottle that Manami had dropped to pass it back to me.
"Master… My skin is quite sensitive to heat, if you would please?"
Without prompting, she sat down beside me and undid her top to reveal her bare back to me.
I sighed. Well I do need to take care of my disciples after all.
I was about to concede to her request when Manami took the extra bottle that Cai Hong had been using to spray a thick globule of the lotion over Kiyomi's back before spreading it around gleefully.
"Si… Sister?!" Kiyomi protested.
"Ufufufu~ Master, I believe Cai Hong has waited long enough, why don't you take care of her? I will help my naughty little sister here~"
Kiyomi looked like she was about to protest but Manami covered her mouth with her tail, giving me a sly grin in return.
Cai Hong tugged at my arm, clearly excited after hearing that we would play.
Deciding it was better to take care of my loli dragon, I promptly left the two fox sisters who were struggling against each other with the lotion while I was pulled away by Cai Hong towards the sea.
I made sure that she had the swim ring with her, courtesy of Elaria once again who had somehow prepared all of this beforehand.
It was only when Cai Hong and I waded quite far into the sea did I remember Brendan still being stuck in the sand.
Oh well, pretty sure he'll be fine.
Right?
