The Cycle of Reincarnation in the Four-Courtyard House: A Journey Through the Heavens

After the turmoil on the ship subsided, the captain, first mate, second mate, and other crew members rushed out of the cockpit in a panic, looking around in fear.

Seeing the panicked and fearful state of the crew, Li Xiao's mind stirred slightly, and he quietly released a wisp of gentle spiritual energy, which slowly enveloped all the crew members.

The gentle thought soothed the fear and panic in everyone's hearts. The restless crowd instantly calmed down, their minds became calm, and they were no longer afraid.

"Each to their assigned duties, continue sailing," Li Xiao instructed the crew telepathically.

Following Li Xiao's instructions, the crew members immediately returned to their posts and continued to steer the boat upstream along the Nile.

Evelyn nestled tightly in Li Xiao's arms, still feeling uneasy about the assassination attempt that had just occurred.

Now that the danger had passed, she raised her head and asked softly, "Darling, what happened outside? What were those men in black doing?"

Li Xiao gently stroked her long hair and comforted her softly, "It's alright now. These men in black are probably descendants of the ancient Egyptian Pharaoh's guard. Their duty is to protect Hamunaptra and stop any outsiders who try to approach or enter the City of the Dead."

Evelyn suddenly understood, frowned slightly in thought, and whispered, "Then they must have sneaked onto the ship to steal that octagonal black box, right?"

"That should be true."

Li Xiao nodded and chuckled lightly, his tone indifferent, "They coveted the secret treasure and also wanted to stop us from exploring the ruins, but don't worry, I've driven all those guys off the ship."

Evelyn pressed her face tightly against Li Xiao's chest, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat, and whispered softly, "With you by my side, I really feel so safe."

The next morning, as dawn broke, soft sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, turning into golden rays that gently bathed the large bed in the cabin, casting a warm glow over the bedroom.

Li Xiao had already finished washing up. He glanced at the sleeping beauty on the bed, a faint smile on his lips, and gently patted her arm, saying, "Evelyn, breakfast is ready!"

Evelyn, who had been fast asleep, trembled slightly with her long eyelashes. After a moment, her clear and captivating blue eyes slowly opened, still carrying a hint of languor from just waking up from a deep sleep, making her look extremely sexy and alluring.

Evelyn smiled sweetly at Li Xiao and prepared to get up, but then she suddenly cried out and fell back down.

She only felt a slight stinging pain below, which made Evelyn roll her eyes at Li Xiao.

Li Xiao smiled and shook his head, then handed her a glass of water with rising steam and said, "Drink this."

Evelyn had no doubts whatsoever. She reached out, took the glass of water, tilted her head back, and drank the water in one gulp.

The clear, sweet spring water entered my throat and quickly spread to every part of my body.

Soon, a warm current surged through her body, which had been slightly sore and tired. Evelyn felt warm all over, and all the soreness and fatigue vanished.

Evelyn couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes slightly, her gaze filled with surprise: "What kind of water is this? It tastes sweet, and after drinking it, I feel full of energy!"

What Li Xiao just gave Evelyn to drink was naturally the spiritual spring water from his small world.

After being purified multiple times by the system, the spiritual spring water in the small world is now extremely rich in spiritual energy, and for ordinary people, it can be called a supreme medicine that can cure all diseases.

As long as a living person has a breath left, this cup of spiritual spring water can heal their wounds, restore their vitality, and rejuvenate their body.

Evelyn's minor injury was a huge waste of the spiritual spring water.

Seeing the look of surprise in her eyes, Li Xiao explained, "This is a medicine that has been passed down in our Dragon Kingdom for thousands of years. It can treat various physical injuries and pains. How are you feeling now?"

Upon hearing this, Evelyn nodded vigorously, exclaiming in surprise, "I feel wonderful right now!"

Having fully recovered both physically and mentally, Evelyn was full of energy and quickly got up and dressed.

After getting ready, she turned around, tiptoed, and kissed Li Xiao tenderly. Her eyes were full of affection before she walked briskly into the bathroom to wash up and get ready.

Around 2 p.m., the ship finally slowly approached the shore and docked steadily at a pier on the edge of the desert.

Li Xiao picked up Evelyn's suitcase with one hand and took Evelyn's small hand with the other as they walked down the gangway and onto this unfamiliar land.

This is a small, exotic town in Egypt, far from the bustling city of Rome, filled with the rich desert scenery. It is still more than 300 kilometers away from the legendary city of the dead, Hamunaptra.

The two walked side by side into the city, where exotic architecture and clothing could be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys, and the unique local customs and culture were overwhelming.

Evelyn, who had never been here before, was instantly captivated by the exotic scenery before her, her eyes darting around with curiosity.

The two did not rush on their journey. First, they found a clean and tidy hotel, put their luggage away, and then the naturally lively Evelyn could not contain herself and eagerly took Li Xiao's hand and went out. She wanted to carefully appreciate the unique features of this desert town.

The streets are lined with shops, filled with local clothing, accessories and handicrafts.

After careful selection, Evelyn chose a local women's outfit with distinctive regional characteristics and went into the dressing room to change.

A moment later, Evelyn slowly walked out of the dressing room, looking completely refreshed.

This outfit features a pure black base and is a typical Muslim-style robe with a smooth, flowing fabric and an elegant, dignified design.

The robe's edges are adorned with intricate and elaborate patterns, embroidered with striking gold threads to create a vintage design. The interplay of black and gold gives it a luxurious and elegant appearance.

She took a black silk scarf of the same color and gently wrapped it around her hair, partially obscuring her stunningly beautiful face, giving it a hazy, ethereal beauty.

At this moment, Evelyn possessed an added touch of exotic mystery and charm. Her half-hidden face outlined exquisite features, making her even more alluring and seductive.

The two did not linger in this desert town. After briefly strolling through the streets and alleys and appreciating the local scenery, they returned to their hotel to rest.

The next day, as dawn broke and the morning light bathed the desolate land, the two packed all their belongings and supplies, officially preparing to set off for the City of the Dead.

They bought two strong desert camels at the market, along with plenty of dry food, fresh water, and emergency supplies, filling their bags to the brim.

For Li Xiao, he could easily fly to Hamunaptra, but this was his first time experiencing camel riding through the desert sands, and with a beautiful woman by his side, he naturally wanted to give it a try.
