Chapter 11: The Big Shark
After Kong Yu Bai and Book Yao tried on swimsuits, Night Star and Lianhua decided it was their turn.
Both of them had rather petite figures, not quite suited for the mature “Big Sister” adult section, so they found themselves in the minor section.
After all, they were lolis!
Night Star walked closely with Lianhua, casting a sideways glance at her.
“What kind of swimsuit do you want to wear, Lianhua?”
“I’m not sure. Why don’t you help me pick one, Night Star?”
“Hmm… let me take a look.”
Night Star stood in front of a rack of swimsuits, pondered a moment, then pulled one down.
“How about this one?”
It was an adorable swimsuit with delicate lace trim, giving off just the right hint of youthful charm.
Night Star thought this would suit a cute loli perfectly.
And Lianhua was definitely a cute loli; once she put this on, she’d be even cuter!
With that thought, Night Star handed the swimsuit to Lianhua, her crimson eyes filled with anticipation, almost bursting to see Lianhua in the suit.
“Give it a try.”
“Okay, I’ll try it!”
Lianhua entered the fitting room.
Night Star waited outside, sitting on a stool, swinging her ice-cream-like white legs, her expression practically radiating excitement.
A moment later, Lianhua emerged wearing the swimsuit, staring directly at Night Star, seemingly eager for her opinion.
“Well? What do you think?”
Lianhua was clad in a light blue swimsuit decorated with lace trim, revealing a large expanse of milk-white skin that was both delicate and enticing.
The straps of the swimsuit slightly hugged Lianhua’s fair skin, leaving just enough of an impression to send thrill-seekers into a frenzy.
But it wasn’t too revealing; it was just perfect for a little girl, primarily emphasizing purity and cuteness, showcasing Lianhua’s charm to the fullest.
“Night Star?”
Seeing Night Star somewhat stunned, Lianhua couldn’t help but call out.
“Ah!”
Night Star snapped back to reality and quickly gave a thumbs-up in praise.
“It’s amazing! Super cute! We have to buy this one, it’s perfect for you!”
“Yay~ Thank you~”
With Night Star’s compliment, Lianhua beamed with a satisfied, adorable smile.
Just then, Kong Yu Bai and Book Yao called out for Night Star.
Night Star hurried over, and discovered they were both already in their swimsuits.
Kong Yu Bai was wearing a princess-style swimsuit, while Book Yao rocked a bikini, and both looked stunning.
Night Star couldn’t help but gush, thoroughly enjoying the eye candy.
Watching the three in their swimsuits, she could already imagine them splashing around at the beach.
“Night Star, have you picked out your swimsuit?” Kong Yu Bai suddenly asked.
“Um… I’ll be right back.”
Night Star turned and disappeared in a flash.
When she returned, she held up a swimsuit, clearly showing it had been her choice.
It was a one-piece, not overly revealing, and the style and color were incredibly cute.
“This is the one I picked!”
“A one-piece? Looks like someone is a bit shy.”
Kong Yu Bai couldn’t help but smile, clearly taken by Night Star’s personality.
“Um…”
Night Star’s cheeks flushed, slightly embarrassed.
Shyness? You bet!
At home, she had zero shame, going as far as to lounge in just a loose T-shirt without a care in the world.
But outside? Totally different story.
Even for a swimsuit, she didn’t want anything too revealing.
The beach was a public place, and if too many eyes were on her, she’d feel downright uncomfortable.
Sure, she could use “Existence Interference” to keep folks from looking, but that psychological aspect was hard to shake off.
Book Yao had no objection to Night Star’s choice.
“Want to try it on?”
“No thanks, this size fits perfectly. I’ll put it on when we hit the beach.”
The others sighed in disappointment.
They were so looking forward to seeing Night Star in her swimsuit, but now they’d have to wait until they were at the beach.
Afterward, the four of them gathered up their swimsuits and headed to the front desk to pay.
Buying swimsuits was just the start; they had a whole city to explore before calling it a day!
……
Meanwhile, back with Night Lan.
After Night Star’s group finished up their swimsuit shopping, the seaside train was about to set off.
The train slowly started, and the scenery outside began to shift.
Night Lan pressed her hand against the glass, gazing at the view, feeling a flutter of excitement.
New experiences always ignited curiosity.
How could one not be thrilled riding a super cool seaside train?
White Fish, Zero Meow, Neko Shinna, Star Yoon, and White Paint sat together.
Cai Xun and Bu Jie were on the other side, chatting about their vacation.
As time passed, the train finally left the land, gliding onto the sea.
“Oooh! It’s the ocean!” Night Lan exclaimed, her excitement palpable as she watched the undulating waves through the window, feeling like she was in a dream.
The train was cruising atop the sea, moving slowly—definitely not as fast as a subway—but that was okay! It gave the passengers a chance to enjoy the spectacular ocean views through the windows.
Viewing the ocean from a different perspective? Quite nice indeed!
The other lolis were also curiously gazing outside, all letting out little gasps of amazement.
“It’s so beautiful~”
“Yeah, meow~”
“There must be tons of fish in there, right?”
“What fish makes the tastiest dishes?”
One question after another flew out of the lolis’ mouths, yet no one answered; White Paint merely watched them with a smile, feeling genuinely happy.
What a joy it was to take these little angels out for some fun!
“Buckle up, everyone! We should arrive shortly if all goes well.”
The distance between the mainland and the island wasn’t far, so they figured it wouldn’t take long to cover the distance.
Night Lan and the others quickly settled back in their seats, looking out the window as they awaited their destination.
But little did anyone know, lurking beneath the surface of the sea were mysterious and dangerous creatures.
Deep below the dark ocean surface.
Schools of fish swam around peacefully, not an ounce of disturbance—everything appeared serene. But in the blink of an eye, the fish abruptly scattered as if fleeing from a predator.
A massive dark shadow surged from the depths, radiating an eerie, terrifying aura, charging straight for the train sailing on the ocean’s surface.
At the same moment…
Inside the train.
As Night Lan gazed out the window, she suddenly sensed something off.
The powers of Existence Interference heightened her senses, making her more attuned to the eerie energy beneath the ocean’s surface than anyone else.
Is it a marine creature?
No, wait!
There’s a Star Eclipse presence!
Night Lan’s expression changed as she opened her mouth to alert her companions.
But in the next second, the calm of the ocean was shattered as a gigantic shadow burst from the water, casting an overwhelmingly terrifying presence under the sunlight.
Night Lan was frozen in shock, the outline of the colossal creature imprinting itself in her vision.
What on earth is that?
A creature radiating Star Eclipse energy?
Could it be a Star Eclipse Embodiment?
But looking at it, that massive creature distinctly resembled a shark.
How on earth could a shark awaken to become a Star Eclipse?!
