Tang Dynasty: The pot is tied to the duck nest, the little rhinoceros is here!

This place is different in style from the imperial palace of the Tang Dynasty and Fan Ge's villa; everywhere you look there are simple yet exquisite decorations.

Elegantly designed art sculptures stand against the wall, and the rest area features large, soft leather sofas.

A flower arrangement and an exquisite fruit platter were placed on the small round table. The staff at the front desk had warm smiles and worked efficiently.

When checking in, the butler was already there waiting for us.

Holding four glasses of chilled welcome drinks, with a slice of bright yellow pineapple stuck in the rim of each glass.

"Mr. Jiang, welcome. This is a special coconut juice prepared for you by the hotel."

"Thank you." Jiang Fan accepted the gifts and distributed them to the three little princesses.

Little Sizi took a big sip from the cold cup, her eyes lighting up: "Sweet! So delicious!"

After completing the formalities, the personal butler led the group onto a sightseeing bus, passing through a tropical courtyard full of flowers to their guest rooms.

The water in the ponds along the way was clear, and every now and then you could see small koi swimming by, swishing their tails.

"Brother Jiang Fan, aren't the guest rooms right next to the lobby? Why do we need to take a car?"

Chengyang curiously clung to the railing of the sightseeing bus, looking around.

"This hotel is very large, with guest rooms scattered throughout the gardens and along the beach; the closer the hotel is to the sea, the further away it is from the beach."

Jiang Fan explained with a smile, "We booked a five-star ocean view suite, and you can see the sea as soon as you open the balcony door."

The sightseeing bus stopped in front of a low-rise building. The butler swiped his card and opened the door, causing everyone to stop in their tracks.

Upon entering, you'll find a spacious living room with a large, soft, light beige fabric sofa that bounces when you throw a cushion on it.

The walls are simple and elegant, adorned with oil paintings depicting seaside scenery.

The living room connects to a huge viewing balcony with floor-to-ceiling windows that offer unobstructed views.

Looking out, the lush green lawn stretches all the way to the silvery white sand beach.

Further out, there is an endless expanse of clear blue sea, with waves gently lapping against the shore.

"Fan-ge is so handsome!..." Li Lizhi walked to the edge of the balcony and gently held onto the railing.

Gazing at the vast seascape, I couldn't help but sigh softly, "Standing here, you can see the sea at a glance."

The bed in the bedroom was enormous, covered with fluffy white sheets.

The pillows were neatly arranged, and the mattress looked exceptionally soft.

The wardrobe is spacious and thoughtfully equipped with bathrobes and soft beach towels.

The bathroom is even more spacious, with a double-sink marble vanity and a large bathtub next to the glass window.

You can see the sea view while soaking in it, the shower room is separate, and all the toiletries are high-end brand sets.

Little Sizi had already run around on her feet, then rushed to the bedside with a "thump, thump, thump" and pounced on it.

The mattress was soft and bouncy. The little dumpling rolled around on it a couple of times, giggling, "Darling! The bed is so soft!"

The butler smiled and briefly introduced the hotel's facilities: private beach,

An infinity pool, several restaurants offering different cuisines, and a children's playground.

The water sports center offers convenient transportation by sightseeing bus at any time, and if you need anything, just make a call and someone will come to your aid.

"A beach pool? Is it okay for you to swim, buddy?"

Little Sizi suddenly jumped up from the bed, her bright eyes looking at Jiang Fan.

"Of course." Jiang Fan rubbed her head.

Upon hearing this, the little ox couldn't wait any longer and its short legs were about to exert force to rush forward.

"Aren't you going to eat? Your brother wants to take you to try the local delicacies," Jiang Fan said with a smile.

"Let's eat again." The little princess turned her head and sat back on the sofa.

Jiang Fan then led the princesses to a seafood restaurant.

"Brother, this fish looks ugly," the little princess said, pointing at the steamed grouper.

"Sizi, I've heard that eating ugly fish will make you ugly too," Jiang Fan teased the little Sizi.

"Is it spicy or not?" The little princess turned her head away and refused to look at it anymore.

"I'm not afraid of looking ugly, I'll eat it." Li Lizhi could tell from Jiang Fan's expression that he was teasing the little princess.

"I'll eat too, Brother Jiang Fan won't mind." Although Cheng Yang didn't know if Jiang Fan was telling the truth, she was sure her brother wouldn't harm her.

"Then brother should eat some too. Anyway, he's already like this, he can't be too ugly."

Jiang Fan smiled and first helped Li Lizhi and Chengyang pick up a piece of fish, then picked up a large piece for himself.

"Brother, have a taste." The little princess was getting a little restless seeing everyone eating.

"Aren't you afraid of becoming ugly, little one?" Jiang Fan picked up a small piece of fish and held it to the little princess's mouth.

The little princess ate it in one bite, smacked her lips twice, and said, "It's so ugly, buddy, have another piece."

The dishes were served one after another, all local seafood specialties: salted egg yolk crab, stir-fried mango snails with sauce, and razor clams.

Mantis shrimp, sea urchin, garlic abalone, and other delicacies kept the princesses' mouths constantly busy.

"Brother, seven shrimp!" the little princess said in her sweet, childish voice. Last time they went to the harbor city, the little princesses had eaten a lot of seafood.

"Brother Jiang Fan will peel them for us." Chengyang was already used to it.

Jiang Fan painstakingly peeled the shrimp; the mantis shrimp here were larger than those he'd seen in Haigang City last time.

So it's relatively easy to peel, but Jiang Fan is clumsy and still manages to prick his hand.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, it got dark. The little princess kept pestering Jiang Fan to ask if she had become ugly. Only after Jiang Fan swore that she had become ugly did she reluctantly believe him.

Jiang Fan checked the time and then took the princesses for a walk on the beach.

Unlike the beaches in the harbor city, the surrounding streetlights are very bright at night, making it a great place for a stroll.

"Brother, what's on the other side of the sea?" The little princess looked around and saw nothing but darkness, asking curiously.

"Guess what?" Jiang Fan kicked a seashell, bent down to pick it up, and threw it away forcefully.

"I bet there are mermaids on the other side of the ocean."

Chengyang hopped over. Why did he hop? Because sand got into his shoes.

After pouring it out, sand would get back in after a couple of steps, so I just started hopping around and running.

"I guess it's a big forest." Li Lizhi opened her arms, enjoying the sea breeze.

"Guess, guess, it's my turn to guess." The little princess raised her hand and tugged at Jiang Fan's sleeve.

"Okay, Sizi, guess what it is?" Jiang Fan picked up the little princess.

"It's... big shrimp, crab, butt shrimp, big ugly fish."

After the little princess finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Fan eagerly, wanting to know if what she said was true.

"You're all right. Whatever you can imagine, you can find on the other side of the sea. Isn't that amazing?"

Jiang Fan said with a smile.

"Yay, brother, take care of me from now on." The little princess was put down by Jiang Fan, and the little one happily ran on the beach.

Chengyang caught up with the little princess, and the two little ones ran forward hand in hand.

"Rhino! Don't put sand in your pockets!"

Jiang Fan kept his eyes on the little princess; the little girl was playing in the sand in a completely unpredictable way. Both pockets were already stuffed full.
