(Diao Chan POV)
I licked the popsicle that Master had given us, enjoying the sweet taste on my tongue.
Apparently Elaria had only brought one ball with her, having made it out of some sort of Quark absorption and dispersal material that she had been testing out.
According to her, it would be an anti-Practitioner sort of armour that she had been planning to utilize and had been rather irked to hear that the Dongs had something similar already.
The difference was that Elaria's had made hers using monster crystals as the base which was harder to obtain in large amounts. On the other hand, the Dongs simply needed willing people to have the inscription grafted on them.
What made Elaria's armour stand out was that the material could use the Quarks it absorbed to strengthen itself, dispersing the absorbed Quarks that way and allowing it to withstand even a 'rocket' that Elaria had made.
But as seen from our little game session, a powerful enough strike could still break through the armour.
With the final score tied and no more balls left, Master announced that the result was a draw and went around to pat each of our heads.
Alpha, Beta and Delta had came along to deliver a few light snacks consisting of sandwiches for us. They had told us that dinner would be served in a few more hours and wished us a good time before leaving with Gamma.
Master then brought out these popsicles that He had made for us after our tea time, an extremely welcome treat in the summer heat.
The only unfortunate one was Brendan who was out cold again, it seems like the beach arc isn't doing him any good.
Master wanted to wake him but Cai Hong started to bury him with sand, making him look like some kind of sarcophagus laying in the middle of the beach.
Master thus left him there with a parasol stuck above his head before giving us these delicious popsicles to enjoy.
"Papa? Mmm!"
I looked over to see Cai Hong offering her raspberry popsicle while seated on Master's lap.
Master gave it a lick while letting Cai Hong do the same to His strawberry flavoured one.
Of course, that sparked off an idea in my head and I was quick to move beside Master.
"Mmm~~ Master, do you want some of mine too?" I offered with a sultry smile.
The other girls gasped but too bad for them, I was first.
Master shrugged and nodded, prompting me to stick the sweet treat in between my chest before offering it to my dearest Master to taste.
Master rolled His eyes but indulged me, giving the popsicle a quick suck that sent shivers of pleasure down my spine.
"May… May I taste your popsicle too, Master?" I practically begged.
The phallic shaped treat was presented to me and I licked the entire length of the shaft, savouring the taste of it. I was pretty sure that tangy bit I tasted was Master's own saliva, something that was much more delectable than any treat in existence.
"Mmmm~~ Could I taste your other popsicle next, Master? The one that's in between your–"
Master flicked me on the head before I could finish my words, scowling, "Bad Diao Chan. Cai Hong is here."
Cai Hong just looked at me with a confused face while sucking on her popsicle innocently.
If only Master knew how much of a deviant she actually was.
True, her child form was innocent but when she turns into her older form… I swear, after she gained a little more control over her forms, it's quite questionable between the two of us who exactly was the more lascivious one.
But with the way she keeps saying "Father! Father!" in the middle of the night, I'm quite inclined to say it's her.
She claims that her thought process changes when she's in different forms but I'm not sure if that was just her giving excuses.
But it's quite obvious she's a daddy's girl through and through.
At least she helped me earn a delightful punishment from Master though, so I can't complain much about it.
"Ma… Master! Could I try yours too?" Lian Li blurted out.
For some reason, our golden girl became quite self conscious when she wore her swimsuit, almost to the point of being a stuttering virgin.
I have a feeling it might have something to do with her past but I'm not sure what.
Master raised an eyebrow, "Ours are the same flavour."
Lian Li gasped and looked down at her strawberry popsicle, her eyebrows scrunching up as though willing it to disappear.
"Onii sama! Onii sama! I want to taste yours too!" Elaria came bounding up to Master.
"You have the same one too, Elaria," Master pointed out helpfully.
"But yours has your taste on it! That's different!"
Oh? This girl is even more bold than I thought, I'll give her that.
Master gave her a smirk before putting the entire popsicle in His mouth and pulling, revealing the empty stick in his hands.
"Still want it?" Master asked, waving the empty stick around.
Elaria looked like she was about to say yes but someone snatched up the stick faster than the eye could see, the stick literally disappearing from Master's hand in front of our eyes.
Everyone looked surprised but Master sighed, showing that He knew who it was.
Slightly relieved and a little disappointed that Master did not choose to punish me, I discreetly slipped the stick into my storage ring.
"It's already late afternoon," Master noted, looking towards the sun that was beginning to set. "Why don't you girls go ahead and play? I'll stay here for a bit."
"Muuu? Papa no play?" Cai Hong looked up from her seat with her large, beady eyes.
Master patted her head, "You can go play with big sisters, let Papa take a rest ok?"
Cai Hong pouted a little but nodded her head, "Okies~"
The rest of the girls decided to go for another swim while I chose to stay with Master.
Master raised an eyebrow at me, silently questioning my motives.
I sidled up to Master, taking the space beside Him.
"I just… Want to sit with Master…" I admitted sheepishly.
Master patted my head with a hand, "I suppose it's been a while since we've been alone."
I decided that it was better to get it out now than later, I turned to Master with pleading eyes,"It's been a long time since we had one of our 'plays' too…"
"You do realise that this is not our home?"
"Doesn't that make it all the more better?"
"And if the servants catch you?"
I chuckled, "They won't, Master. Trust me on this one."
Master turned to look at the sea, the other girls either relaxing or just playing in the water.
I had thought Master would reject me but he turned and gave me a smile, "What do you have in mind?"
My eyes lit up and I barely contained my squeal of delight and started pulling Master away towards the dense thicket a short distance behind us.
Master followed me inside without complaint, His hand waving in the air to put up a silence barrier before the two of us disappeared into the bushes.
Ehehehe~ This beach trip is so, so worth it!
