Chapter 803 - Holiday
Three weeks later.
Under the blazing sun that shone upon the white sand, Alex leaned his back on a small chair that he had altered a bit to look like a beach chair in a sense.
The front… As expected, it was certainly not like something in his mind.
The journey was very different than he had expected before. Of course, everything came from the honeymoon he had with Alicia and Firia. They had fun back there, going around and enjoying everything that the place could offer.
As for this one… They still enjoyed what the place could offer, but everything turned into something ridiculous.
In the first week, they were enjoying their time on the mountain near Heavenly Sword Sect, doing hiking and camping things. Anna and Anya wanted to recreate the camping in Alex"s mind.
At first, they really went like normal humans, climbing the mountain with their own feet and sought the path to climb the mountain.
The group enjoyed such a thing. Although there were some monsters along the way, they could beat them in an instant.
Everything started going in a different direction when they arrived at the mountain"s top. First, Alex forbade them to use things from Inventory because he wanted to keep it as fun as possible. Everyone agreed to it, but the moment he wanted to build a tent, he realized that he couldn"t make one. At least a good one for everyone to stay.
At the same time, none of the girls also could make such a thing. Firia obviously had no prior knowledge. They thought they could just cut a few trees and made a wooden house, but as expected, it turned into a weird shack like their base on the Northern Continent.
Anna and Anya said they were the one managing the construction, not the constructor themselves, so they finally resigned themselves by having a pre-constructed wooden house as their tent. Of course, it was the work of the spirits, not themselves.
Still, Alex didn"t care about that and continued having fun with the girls and explored the mountain. It might be the first experience for them to see around the mountain like a normal human, so it truly became a wonderful experience.
At the very least, this activity was very successful, if Alex needed to say. Only one thing that bothered his mind. It was the size of the mountain. The mountain was so tall to the point that the snow covered half of its body. Yes, you heard it right. The mountain was that tall.
And an accident happened where their activity caused an avalanche. And as expected, because of the huge amount of snow actually above them since they stayed on the body where it wasn"t that cold, the avalanche was extraordinary.
Alex decided to burn it with his flame, but due to the wide range area of the snow, he needed to stop all of it, only to find that the snow above them started melting. The water then flooded their house and somehow destroyed their fun.
In the end, they left the area while thinking that they had enjoyed the mountain anyway. The second week, they went to a giant lake in Nilis Continent.
There was a legend around saying that a Water G.o.d dwelled on that lake. When Alex and the others visited there, as expected, they met with the Water G.o.d.
They thought they could have a peaceful time here after taming the Water G.o.d. Alex should have no problem in defeating it anyway, but when he actually found out that the Water G.o.d was actually an eel, Anna and Anya suddenly jumped toward the eel after defeating it.
Due to the slippery skin, they somehow made it into a living slide that could change its shape however they liked it.
Luckily, the eel seemed to have intelligence as it worked perfectly like how they hoped for. Still, the picture in Alex"s mind was shattered once again.
He thought he would have a good time fis.h.i.+ng or hovering around the water with a boat. But they somehow ended up doing all of it with the help of the eel.
This monster reminded him of those monsters that he met inside the cliff a few years ago. They were very obedient and easy to communicate with. Nonetheless, despite being disappointed after failing to have the experiences in his mind, he was quite satisfied with it because everyone had fun.
Even Alex did some sliding with the eel that somehow turned into a slippery roller coaster. After one week, Alex decided to give the eel three Spirit Crystals that were supposed to be equal to three million Spirit Stones.
The eel had been entertaining them for a week anyway, so he gave that crystal to let the eel gain a few stars. It shouldn"t disrupt the balance since the eel was only a 1-Star Martial King.
And finally, they arrived at the last place, the beach. They wanted to play with the sand, like making a huge sandcastle or bury someone in the sand with only the head stuck out. Unfortunately, they got frustrated before long and decided to use their Spiritual Energy to create a castle or dig a hole.
Alex twitched his eyebrows, wondering what he did wrong. They thought about exploring limestone caves around the area. They found some caves, but it wasn"t made of limestone. Alex could understand that and decided to go along with it.
It was at this time he got another shock. The first cave they went in had a powerful beast that protected some treasures from the human it killed.
Alex killed it and took the treasures even if it wasn"t his intention. In the end, it became treasure hunting.
The last cave was the most horrendous. They met a small bandit group that claimed themselves to be a pirate. They were ogling the beauty of the girls, and Alex decided to destroy them. In the end, they got more treasures with all things that the pirates had stolen in the past.
Of course, it wasn"t like he was someone with a good will, so he didn"t bother to spread the wealth around the area even though he knew they must have been robbed by this group.
After that, he decided to stay away from the treasure hunt… Ahem, exploring the caves and asking the girls just to enjoy the beach.
Another shock came when they decided to play surfing. Anna and Anya explained the concept to them, and the girls liked the concept.
They decided to make a surfing board that they personalized themselves. The first time was a success. With a good balance from the training of their cultivation, they handled the surfing board so well as if they were a pro.
However, things turned ridiculous at this point. Sherry was the first one that turned this into a sport battle.
Because she didn"t want her fur to get wet after coming inside the water, she sped up the surfing speed before the wave swallowed her. Of course, the increase of the speed was caused by her Pure Fire. In other words, she simply used the fire to push her forward. And somehow, she managed to continue along the way without the wave and enjoyed it as it is.
In fact, it looked like water skiing but without a boat pulling you. Sherry even went against the wave that somehow launched her to the sky.
Still, no matter how Alex complained about having something abnormal, he certainly enjoyed it because Sherry asked him to try it himself. The other girls also got pretty pumped up and competed against him.
Anna and Anya couldn"t use Fire Element, but they got by with their Spiritual Energy.
Finally, on the last day of their trip, he decided to take a break by enjoying himself on the beach chair.
He watched the girls from this place under a big umbrella.
Sherry looked very cute when she put on her white bikini. It suited her well, especially with her fox ears and tail. Anna and Anya seemed to have a matching pair. One side had a white color, and the other side had black for each piece.
As for Firia, she had a modest red bikini. It looked like she was an innocent angel, but with that seductive body of her, it turned into a deadly weapon.
Still, Alex closed his eyes and smiled. "These three weeks were fun."
[Yes. It was fun…]
"…" Alex twitched his eyebrows. "I know that you can see what I see, but I think it"s better to not see something like this."
[I apologize for that. I wasn"t planning to comment at first, but there is something I want to give you. Look at the box that I put on the Inventory.]
"Huh? A box? But aren"t you supposed to have no direct contact with the Inventory?"
[No need to thank me. I added Alicia to the Spirit Nest a few days ago.]
"…" Alex twitched his eyebrows. "But isn"t she…"
[Say no more. Just open the box. We worked hard for this.]
Alex couldn"t understand her and proceeded to the Inventory, finding the box in her mouth. He took it out and opened it and found pictures of two people.
"This…" Alex grabbed the first picture. It was a picture of two girls. The first one had light blue hair, wearing a blue bikini with white stripes pattern. She smiled brightly while making a peace sign. The second one was a brown-haired woman. Unlike the first girl, she wore a one-piece white dress that was perfect for a summer dress.
She gently held an umbrella for both of them, making the same peace sign with her other hand. "This… This picture is Alicia and you."
Alex took a glimpse of the other pictures inside the box and found that these two also took a photo that matched every scene they had for the past three weeks.
[Fufu… We truly worked hard for it. How is it? Do you like it?]
Alex scratched his head, embarra.s.sed. If he thought it this way, it was a bit unfair since he couldn"t give the same experience for the two. Never he expected them to have it this way. The best answer he could give her… No, them, was the one coming from the bottom of his heart. Alex said with a smile. "Yes, I love them."
[Great! I will not say anything later then.]
Alex couldn"t stop smiling before the girls found him giggling while looking at something. They suddenly appeared right beside Alex and got surprised by the pictures.
Although the technology didn"t really match with cultivation, especially those that polluted the air, some items were very useful. Cameras were one of them.
The girls decided to drag Alex into the water after finding these pictures, so he could enjoy the last day of their trip to the fullest.
And this was the mark where the vacation was finally over. Alex and the girls then returned to the base.
