Chapter 1166 Honeymoon
Five days later, the morning sun shone through the window into the room of the "Golden Evening Hotel" in Liuquan, and the sound of waves hitting the beach continued to come from outside the window.
Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng have been staying in this hotel for their five-day honeymoon.
With Shao Yun's +8 honor points, plus the two-person vacation tickets that Marani had given him, not only did he not spend a single Mora on accommodation, he could also enjoy a 4.5% discount on food, drinks, and entertainment in the hotel.
As for why it was not completely waived, the reason is very simple. Businesses have to make a living, unlike Marani's water supplies store which is profitable.
After all, Malani's pocket money in a week is equivalent to a certain civil servant Inazuma's monthly salary.
The couple's double room in the room is particularly spacious. It was specially prepared by Maranie for double tickets. Not to mention three people lying down, even if two more people squeezed in, it would not feel crowded.
At this moment, Ying and Paimon were lying on the big bed with their legs spread out, sleeping soundly.
Ying was lying on her side with one leg casually draped over the quilt; Paimon was curled up in the other corner of the bed, holding a pillow with his little arms.
If you don’t know, you might think that Shao Yun, Ying and Xiao Paimeng are “starting a game”.
"Hmm... Paimon, the meat is not cooked yet, grill it for a while longer..." Ying suddenly muttered, talking about the barbecue party last night.
Then, Paimeng also hummed, smacking his lips twice, and said incoherently: "Sweet flower-stuffed chicken... and flame-braised meat... delicious... don't fight with me..."
At this moment, Shao Yun had already woken up.
He was wearing beach shorts and standing by the bed, looking helplessly at the two little foodies, one big and one small, lying on the bed.
Hearing their talking in their sleep one after another, he couldn't help but shake his head.
"Why are these two talking in their sleep again... They dream about eating every day, and they're not afraid of eating too much."
During their vacation at Liuquan these days, some people always mistakenly thought they were a family of three.
After all, Shao Yun held Ying's hand, Paimeng followed beside him, and occasionally held Shao Yun's head to ask for snacks. The scene really looked like a warm family outing.
Shao Yun had long been accustomed to this kind of misunderstanding. After all, before Xi was born, Paimon had always been his and Ying's "guide" and "daughter".
Of course, even if I really treat Paimon as my daughter, I won’t lose out.
Shao Yun covered Ying and Paimeng with blankets, fearing they would catch a cold. Then he picked up the sunglasses provided by the hotel on the bedside table and prepared to go out first.
He planned to sit on the lounge chair at the entrance of the hotel for a while, enjoy the sea breeze, and wait for the two "little foodies" to wake up before going to have breakfast together.
……
Shao Yun walked to the beach chair at the entrance of the Golden Evening Hotel, gently pulled out the chair and sat down.
He picked up the glass prepared by the hotel from the small table next to him, poured himself a glass of non-alcoholic juice, and prepared to enjoy the peaceful morning.
"Drinking alcohol early in the morning is not good for the liver. Let's drink some juice." Shao Yun muttered softly to the deserted beach.
He lay down on the beach chair and stretched out.
The waves in the distance came one after another, surging towards the shore and then gently receding.
The entire Liuquan community was still immersed in the tranquility of the early morning, with only a few early risers walking on the beach.
"I didn't expect that I would be the first person to wake up every day while on vacation."
Shao Yunyun scooped up the juice and took a sip. The sweet and sour taste spread across his tongue, instantly dispelling any remaining sleepiness.
He raised his head and looked at the rising sun in the sky. The orange-red glow dyed half of the sky red and made the sea surface sparkle.
"Ah, the morning sunshine is really comfortable..."
At this moment, Marani, who had been accompanying Shao Yun's family as a guide in Liuquan for the past few days, suddenly appeared behind Shao Yun's recliner.
Immediately afterwards, a big smiling face appeared in front of Shao Yun.
"Yohoo, good morning, Mr. Shao Yun!"
"Malani, you're up pretty early." Shao Yun looked at the big face so close to him, and his initial surprise was gone.
After all, these days, whenever he lay on this beach chair in the morning, this little girl would always appear beside him as if out of nowhere. Over time, he got used to this "sudden good morning".
Malani sat down on a nearby beach chair and said with full energy, "Of course! Today is an important day! Mr. Shao Yun, you have come to our Liuquan Clan for your honeymoon, and today is already the sixth day!"
"So today I plan to take your family on a picnic!!!"
For Malani, every day can be the most important day, cherish the present moment...
Shao Yun looked at Marani beside him. She had been accompanying them every day these days, from the market to the beach, and had taken them to almost all the fun places in Liuquan.
"Marani, you seem to be constantly following me, Ying, and Paimon these past few days, acting as our guide every day. Aren't you tired?"
When Malani heard this, she waved her hand, still with a bright smile on her face.
"Oh, it's okay! Mr. Shao Yun, you are our Nata's hero. It's my honor to accompany you and Miss Ying on your honeymoon!"
After hearing this, Shao Yun secretly admired Malani's energy.
Just as she was about to say something else, Malani suddenly changed the subject, a look of regret on her face.
"By the way, Mr. Shao Yun, I've always been a little curious. Why hasn't Lord Vulcan held a celebration banquet for you?"
"You helped Nata repel the Fatui fleet and even 'defeated' the captain. Such a great achievement deserves a proper celebration!"
When Shao Yun heard the words "celebration banquet," he said nonchalantly, "Forget it. I don't want to have a celebration banquet."
"I don't like being the center of attention, even though I always attract it unconsciously... If I really had a celebration party, I'd be surrounded by people toasting and asking questions. Just thinking about it gives me a headache."
Malani said "Oh" in a confused manner.
Then, since they were talking about the Fire Goddess Mavika, she couldn't help but ask the questions that had been hidden in her heart for several days.
She quietly put her head close to Shao Yun, narrowed her eyes into slits, and showed a flattering smile on her face.
"By the way, Mr. Shao Yun, I have a rather presumptuous but definitely harmless question. Can I ask you?"
Shao Yun tilted his head and looked at Malani, whose face was full of anticipation and curiosity. He probably guessed what she wanted to ask, but was too embarrassed to refuse.
Malani had been accompanying them enthusiastically these past few days and had been very helpful, so it was just a question, so there was no reason not to answer it.
"Tell me, as long as the question is not too outrageous, I can answer you."
Malani immediately became excited, her eyes rolled around twice, and she asked cautiously:
"It's just... a while ago, you and Lord Kagami... it felt like the relationship between you two... seemed to be more than simple?"
After she finished speaking, she winked secretly, with a gossipy look on her face.
"Mavika and I are really just friends, that's all." Shao Yun explained calmly.
After hearing this, the expectation on Malani's face disappeared instantly, and was replaced by full disappointment.
She murmured softly, her mouth drooping, "Really? Just friends...that's such a pity!"
"I thought you two could have some kind of development. After all, Lord Vulcan is so powerful and so beautiful. He's a perfect match for you, Mr. Shao Yun..."
Shao Yun looked at Malani's disappointed face, muttering "What a pity" under his breath, and reached out to pat her head gently.
"Hey, I've told you many times not to mess around with other people. I already have Ying, and besides, Nata should also be monogamous, right? I think so."
When he said "I think so", there was still some uncertainty in his tone.
After all, he only had a vague understanding of Nata's wedding customs and could only guess based on common sense.
When Shao Yun patted Malani on the head, she subconsciously rubbed the place where she was hit. The disappointment on her face gradually faded away, and she turned to talk about Nata's marriage customs.
"Well, Nata is generally monogamous. But you also know that Nata is a place where strength speaks."
"In theory, as long as a person's strength is strong enough and can convince those around them, no matter how many partners a man or woman has, no one will say anything and may even think it's natural."
She paused, then added, "However, in Nata, most people pursue 'power' itself."
"When a person devotes himself wholeheartedly to the pursuit of strength, he or she will gradually feel that the happiness brought by love is meaningless."
"After all, compared to winning a satisfying battle, those little sentimental things are nothing."
"In other words, compared to venting physical desires or dwelling on the trivialities of relationships, people feel that 'the thrill of combat' is a better pursuit."
"The joy of defeating your opponent and breaking through your own limits is much more exciting than falling in love!"
After listening to Malani's introduction to Nata's love customs, Shao Yun suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Since most Nata people don’t value feelings and pursue strength more, why was Malani so active in gossiping about her relationship with Mavica just now, and even felt it was a pity that the two of them didn’t develop?
He raised an eyebrow, deliberately teasing Malani.
"Oh, so, Marani, you were so concerned about my relationship with Mavica just now, is it because you are not strong? You can only worry about these love affairs?"
Malani was choked by Shao Yun's question, and a guilty expression instantly appeared on her face.
She stuck out her tongue and started to act coquettishly.
"Who told me to lose to Katsina during the last Holy Night of Returning Fire Pilgrimage?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Shao Yun was completely "depleted".
"You're such a smooth-talking little girl, you're always concerned about other people's relationships. Be careful that you might not be able to beat my daughter in the future."
"I know, I know! Why are you the same as Aunt Agaya?" Malani waved her hand nonchalantly and started talking excitedly about the outing again.
"Let's not talk about this anymore! When Miss Ying and Paimon wake up soon, I can help you take lots of beautiful photos when we go out into the wild! The photos I take are so beautiful!"
