Li Changzhou let go and twisted his body to swim towards the surface.
Li Qianxia propped herself on the seabed, rising from the sand and pebbles, and executed consecutive "Instantaneous" moves.
"Phew!" Li Changzhou surfaced, wiped the water off his face, and saw Li Qianxia lying behind Yang Qinglan, watching that book together with the Turquoise Pool.
"December 3rd, 5 p.m., looking at Yang Qinglan's back as she cooked, and thinking: Her waist is so slender, she looks great in an apron, I definitely have to try hugging her from behind after we get married."
Li Qianxia read aloud, her voice still carrying the scent of seawater from the underwater battle.
"December 3rd, afternoon—"
Yang Qinglan closed the book, no longer allowing them to look.
"I haven't finished reading!" Li Qianxia reached out to snatch it.
Yang Qinglan glanced at her, and Li Qianxia plummeted along the surface.
"Hmm, think you can best me? Come out, Speedster!" Li Qianxia, riding her mecha bike, "ascended" along the horizon.
Yang Qinglan smiled slightly, tapped her finger, and the seawater rose, forming a series of ice walls.
"Qian Xia, I'll help you!" Turquoise Pool laughed and launched an attack, Heavenly Calamity wrapping around the book.
"What kind of beauty resorts to bullying through numbers!" Li Changzhou reached out and the Kunpeng Vortex drew in Heavenly Calamity, which tried to fly away, tug-of-war ensued.
"Golden Spear and Iron Horse!"
Boom!
The ice exploded into shards that fluttered down, leaving a cool feeling on one's skin.
Li Qianxia, holding a steel gun and riding the Speedster, was like a General invested with Divine Power on the battlefield.
The steel gun swept across, and a golden qi blade cleaved through the air, piercing the Kunpeng Vortex.
"Sister Yao, beat those two for me!" Li Qianxia was now at fear-2.
"Your sister is your problem," Yang Qinglan instructed Li Changzhou, and a jade light flickered from the hairpin at the back of her head.
Three hundred and sixty Jade Flying Needles struck at the oncoming Turquoise Pool, while jade light fell, shielding her.
"Dare to hit me? That is outrageous!" Li Changzhou grabbed again, and the Kunpeng Vortex reappeared.
Li Qianxia's steel gun cleaved continuously, two golden qi blades absorbed by the Kunpeng, disappearing like a clay ox into the sea.
"Do I, Li Qianxia, fear you?!" Li Qianxia charged forward directly, colliding with the Kunpeng Vortex.
Li Changzhou quickly withdrew his move, just as Li Qianxia had not dared to bite him with full force at the seabed earlier, he likewise couldn't bear to hit his sister.
"Hmph, a jumping clown!" Li Qianxia, quite triumphant, casually threw a golden qi blade at Li Changzhou and then drove the Speedster straight towards Yang Qinglan.
"As expected, a revolt," said Li Changzhou, dodging the golden qi blade while the Emerald Bee Sword appeared in his hand, transforming into a Blast Pistol.
"Bang!"
The indestructible bullet locked onto Li Qianxia, and within a hundred meters, the bullet split into a hundred equally indestructible bullets.
The bullets rained down on Li Qianxia like a downpour.
Just as she was about to be shot into a sieve, "boom!" With the "Iron Horse" boost, the Speedster exploded with even more terrible force, instantly widening the gap from the bullets.
At the same time, the distance between her and Yang Qinglan had vanished.
In close-range combat, with focused attention, time seemed to slow down, each frame unfolding one by one as the long spear aimed for the booklet.
Li Changzhou even felt his sister was like an eel—how could she run so fast?
Li Qianxia's thrust landed on the protective shield of the jade hairpin, causing ripples like those on the surface of water, yet it didn't break.
Yang Qinglan ignored the charge towards the sky and prepared for a second dive by Li Qianxia, and she said to Li Changzhou, "Can you handle this?"
"I... how can I not handle it! Great Strength Bull Demon Fist!"
On the other side, Turquoise Pool's palm returned in a spiral, water vapor permeating, turning into clouds of a watery hue.
The auspicious clouds crashed down like a mini waterfall, washing away all three hundred and sixty Jade Flying Needles, while simultaneously sweeping towards Yang Qinglan.
As it rushed down, the waterfall suddenly stopped.
Upon looking, Turquoise Pool saw that the three hundred and sixty Jade Flying Needles had threaded the waterfall, embroidering it onto the sea surface!
She inwardly admired Yang Qinglan's mastery of skill but said out loud, "Clever trick, but let's see how you'll block this time!"
More and denser auspicious clouds of water hue surged violently from behind her; unknown to others, she had been accumulating them all along.
Five-meter high waves crashed down!
A mountain emerged from the ground, blocking the waves.
Yang Qinglan stepped out from behind the mountain's base, her long black hair draping over her shoulders, with the jade hairpin transformed into a bow.
She pulled back the bowstring, drawing seawater for arrows.
"Burst!" Releasing the bowstring, the water arrow dispersed, splitting into countless droplet-shaped small arrows that shot towards Turquoise Pool like a heavy rain of pear blossoms.
With a gesture from Turquoise Pool, she surprisingly condensed an auspicious cloud of earth hue from the mountain summoned by Yang Qinglan.
The earth-colored auspicious cloud pressed down like a small mountain towards Yang Qinglan.
Yang Qinglan tapped her foot lightly, and a small forest sprouted from the ground, its thick, straight trunks slicing the earth-colored auspicious cloud apart.
With a thunderous roar, the two "small mountains" collided, collapsing together and disappearing into the sea.
Yang Qinglan's beautiful eyes kept watch on Turquoise Pool; the split water needles from the water arrow were all caught by the Heavenly Calamity turned into a canopy and gathered back into an innocuous little puddle of seawater.
"Not bad," Yang Qinglan commended.
"You're not bad either," Turquoise Pool smiled in response.
"Bro! Bro! My bad!"
The two turned their heads, and there was Li Changzhou, riding Speedster, with a Blast Pistol in his left hand and a steel spear in his right, chasing Li Qianxia around the sea.
