Chapter 178's reward is 5 packs of pickled chicken feet!

After listening to Cheng Jiao's report,

Song Xinyao, who had only eaten one slice of toast, felt full.

Shen Qingxue, who had only eaten half a sausage, also suddenly lost her appetite.

Ling Yue saw through their thoughts but didn't point them out.

She took everyone back to their rooms to change into clothes suitable for sea activities, then called Hu Liyun to spend 20 minutes quickly applying a fresh and natural makeup look.

Ling Yue put on her sunglasses: "Let's go!!!"

With Zang Lanyi driving the sports car, she took Ling Yue all the way down the winding road to a private parking lot near the beach. The morning breeze carried a hint of coolness, puffing up her sun-protection jacket and thoroughly waking up her still-groggy brain.

This semi-circular beach had soft, fine sand; the entire area was free of any uncomfortable stones, as if it had been pre-sifted.

Lounge chairs and food preparation stations were set up on the beach.

At that moment, a huge luxury yacht was anchored on the sea, with over a dozen lifeboats and speedboats moored alongside it.

The vessel Ling Yue was about to board was the SUNSEEKER 100 YACHT, which could accommodate 30 to 40 guests during the day, excluding the crew.

To ensure a better experience and for safety reasons,

Ling Yue didn't put all the bodyguards she brought from home on this single yacht.

Instead, she arranged for 15 bodyguards to ride in separate speedboats, accompanying and protecting the main yacht from all four sides.

The SUNSEEKER 100 YACHT has three decks.

The flybridge on the top deck is an outdoor entertainment area featuring a bar, a jacuzzi, a large dining area, sun loungers, and the helm station.

The main deck on the middle level houses the yacht's largest lounge, complete with panoramic windows and a kitchen. This level also features a master suite that is quite spacious and includes a private terrace.

One could sit on the terrace, sip a little wine, and soak up some sun.

Oh my~ How blissful~

The lower deck at the bottom is primarily for guest rooms, crew cabins, and the engine room.

Song Xinyao lay on a sun lounger on the flybridge and exclaimed, "Who can even tell if this is a yacht or a seaside villa anymore! How is my luck so good? I must have saved the galaxy in my past life."

With that, she spread her arms and shouted toward the sky, "Ocean, here I freaking come!"

The engines started, and all the boats by the shore headed toward the private waters.

They splashed countless waves along the way. The water was so clear that one could occasionally see schools of fish darting away, startled by the large vessel.

The ride was very smooth, and they soon arrived at the private sea area.

This area was near the Cliff Villa and consisted of relatively shallow and stable waters.

After arriving,

the villa bodyguards and Ling Yue's private bodyguards would put on their gear and dive in advance to check the surroundings. They would form a human wall around the play area, ensuring someone was present in every direction in case of an accident.

As for Ling Yue, she first entered the jacuzzi to get used to the feeling and temperature of the water.

Once everything was ready, the professionals took the eager Ling Yue into the water. Just swimming around in the calm area felt much better than splashing in a swimming pool.

The seawater wasn't cold; it was actually quite warm. The water was so clear that everything on the seabed was visible from above, making it feel as if one could touch the bottom just by reaching out.

Occasionally, colorful fish would swim by—some were beautiful, while others were quite ugly.

Ling Yue watched as others in the team dove to the seabed with diving equipment, feeling very tempted.

Unfortunately, she had been drinking the night before and couldn't dive; she would have to wait until she adjusted her condition next time.

Luo Shanshan hadn't drunk last night and was in good physical condition.

She not only dived and took many photos but also brought back some strangely shaped stones for Ling Yue. Ling Yue liked them very much and put them in her bag, planning to take them back home as souvenirs.

"What a shame..." Song Xinyao sat on the deck, wanting to cry but having no tears. "No one said you couldn't go in the water the next day if you drank too much the night before..."

Something more upsetting than losing 30,000 Euros had finally happened.

She had just entered the water and swam a couple of strokes when she couldn't help but feel like vomiting. Helplessly, she had to be fished out of the water halfway. Now she sat on the deck, feeling the breeze and watching others play.

She was so envious she was practically turning green.

Shen Qingxue flipped over and looked at the sky speechlessly through her sunglasses. "I'm not doing much better than you... Last night's indulgence has ultimately become today's obstacle..."

Ling Yue was having a great time, completely unaware that her two best friends were in 'emo' mode.

Fortunately, there was a professional DJ creating music on the flybridge, so the two girls weren't idle on the boat at all. They danced for over half an hour and were nearly exhausted.

By this time, Ling Yue had been in the water for an hour, and it was just time for lunch. A professional coach helped her onto the boat, and the others followed back into the cabin.

Lunch included both Chinese and Italian dishes with a wide variety.

Because Wang Junqi hadn't left the boat—he wasn't interested in swimming in the ocean, but he felt a strange excitement about cooking at sea.

So, he had been busy in the kitchen with the chef all morning.

The villa staff would specifically sail to the fishing area to catch, slaughter, and cook the fish on the spot.

It was incredibly fresh!

It was finger-licking good.

After a full meal, they rested on the loungers, soaked up some sun, digested their food, looked at the distant sea view, and felt the cool sea breeze.

Two hours later, they set off to return.

Basic equipment had been set up on the beach, such as water slides and volleyball nets.

Ling Yue had rested enough on the yacht and just wanted to frolic now.

Under the hands-on guidance of a professional coach, she learned how to drive a jet ski.

Looking at the others, some were resting on loungers, some were on the water slides, and even more had joined a kayaking race.

Floating barriers were set up around the perimeter, forming a semi-enclosure for the waters near the beach, so there was no need to worry about the kayaks drifting out of the area.

The sea was filled with laughter and joy as everyone put in their best effort.

The prize was five 200g packs of pickled pepper chicken feet generously provided by Song Xinyao.

The group went crazy for them.

The oars whipped up a lot of spray, churning up the entire area of water.

In the end, a foreign bodyguard who was a kayak enthusiast won the race. The 188cm tall, burly man was moved to tears by the spiciness, hissing and gasping while gulping down water, then hissing and gasping as he continued to gnaw on them.

Everyone laughed at him, and they all mingled together.

Dinner was a beach barbecue.

While the barbecue was being prepared, the band arrived. They seemed quite famous and even brought their own bodyguards.

Ling Yue didn't recognize them, but as soon as the music started,

"I've heard this song before..."

Undoubtedly, when she was scrolling through TikTok China before, many creators had used this song as background music.

Song Xinyao caught the subtext in her best friend's words and said in shock, "You invited this band, and you don't even know who they are?"

Ling Yue shrugged. "Why should I care about such things?"

Song Xinyao's lips twitched for a long time before she managed to say, "That is so like you."

With that, she took the remaining eight packs of chicken feet from her bag. "Want some?"

"Yes!" Ling Yue took a pack.

She declared that pickled pepper chicken feet were one of her favorite snacks lately.

Shen Qingxue scratched her head, her lips trembling for a while before she finally remembered: "Even they were invited! Girl, you are amazing!"

"They just happened to be free, plus someone here helped make the connection, and the pay was high enough. Otherwise, they wouldn't have come," Ling Yue recalled Cheng Jiao saying this.

However, Shen Qingxue still piously slid on her knees to Ling Yue. "From now on, I won't make wishes to the Buddha; I'll just make them to you instead."

"I remember you weren't into celebrities in college," Ling Yue said, tearing open the chicken feet packaging and taking a bite.

"Oh~ Well, I'm an actress now. Even though I'm just a minor one, I have seniors I admire!" Shen Qingxue said with a bashful look.

"Of course, I'm not saying I have to meet them. I just mean, if you happen to run into them one day, could you get a personalized autograph for me?" Her smile was incredibly flattering.

Ling Yue tilted her chin up slightly. "Depends on my mood."

She had a Hundred-Billion Film and Television Plan for the future, so she would definitely interact with stars. Getting a personalized autograph shouldn't be hard if she met them, right?

Shen Qingxue massaged Ling Yue's shoulders and pounded her legs without a single word of complaint.

The smoke from the barbecue curled up, and the aroma of charcoal and fat drifted through the air.

Fresh ingredients and a unique taste.

While munching on skewers here, rhythmic music drifted over from there, and everyone raised their hands, swaying their heads and singing along:

"Oh I've been missing missing you..."
