After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

Kong Sangqi felt that his life had been worthwhile.

He never expected that because of his vague dream, Hua Yue would actually accompany him to the depths of the desert.

Chi Xu also came. According to him, as a subject, it is his duty to protect His Majesty.

Kong Sangqi is an annoying person, Hua Yue can't understand him, but he can see it clearly.

This guy just really likes his son.

His eyes were fixed on something, like a dog eyeing a bone.

Unfortunately, his own foolish son was completely oblivious and unaware of the wolfish ambitions of the person beside him.

But he couldn't say anything, after all, he had finally managed to build a good relationship with his son, and if he overstepped his bounds, he would definitely anger his son.

Half of Yanru's land is desert, so the three of them were no strangers to traveling in the desert.

The reason for coming to the depths of the desert stems from a dream Kong Sangqi had on his first night after leaving the palace.

Strangely enough, he never dreamed of Chensha once while he was in the Yanru Palace.

Just when he wanted to travel the world, Chensha appeared in his dream.

He couldn't remember what happened in his dream, only a rolling expanse of yellow sand.

As the former emperor of Yanru, Kongsangqi had his own methods for navigating and finding his way in the desert.

But he saw that Huayue didn't need to look at a map or observe the stars to find her position. She could not only accurately distinguish directions, but also find water sources in the desert.

On the third day after entering the desert, Kong Sangqi couldn't help but say, "A-Yue."

Hua Yue turned her head. "Thirsty?"

Kong Sangqi shook his head and said, "You have inherited Chen Sha's bloodline."

Hua Yue tilted her head. "Huh?"

"Chen Sha is the same way. He never gets lost in the desert and can find every underground river and every oasis... Perhaps, he really didn't die."

Although Chi Xu had known Hua Yue for many years, he was unaware of his abilities. Out of curiosity, he asked, "Your Majesty... cough cough, when did you discover that you possessed such abilities?"

Hua Yue scratched her head. "When I was nine years old, the prince and General Yan Ru were fighting a war and he didn't come back for two months, so I secretly ran away to look for him."

Kong Sangqi immediately bared his teeth, "That damned Yin Cheng, if you're going to die, die outside. What kind of logic is it to let a nine-year-old boy save you?"

Hua Yue said coolly, "It was the battle at Golden Knife Bay."

He paused for a moment, then said, "The one who led the troops into battle at that time was the second prince of Yanru."

Yes, Dad, it's you.

Kong Sangqi guiltily looked away.

Hua Yue continued, "Many people went looking for it but couldn't find it, but I found it right away."

Chi Xu received a murderous glare from the Emperor Emeritus and wisely kept quiet.

Kong Sangqi abruptly changed the subject, "A-Yue, if your stepfather were still alive, where would he be?"

Hua Yue suddenly stared blankly into the distance.

Something seemed to be moving rapidly through the yellow sand, causing the sand on the ground to collapse and flow in its wake.

"We'll talk about this later, run!" Huayue shouted, "There's something in the sand!"

The other two were both skilled in martial arts, and upon hearing this, they immediately retreated.

However, the thing under the yellow sand was too fast, and it moved to their feet in an instant.

There is nothing to hide in the desert; it is just endless rolling yellow sand.

Suddenly, Kong Sangqi's breathing stopped for a moment, and he staggered and fell into the yellow sand.

Almost instantly, the yellow sand buried him.

"Father!" Hua Yue instinctively rushed over and grabbed his hand, but he couldn't pull Kong Sangqi up; instead, he himself was trapped in the same predicament.

Chi Xu gripped Hua Yue's wrist tightly, and the three of them were swept up by the yellow sand...

A feeling of suffocation followed, and as her consciousness faded, Huayue closed her eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, Huayue laboriously opened her eyes.

The first thing you see is a small floral bed canopy, which is decorated very warmly, and there is a cloth tiger next to the pillow.

This style of cloth tiger is very old. The toy industry is very different now, with all sorts of things like little rabbits, kittens, turtles, and even cloth dolls.

Hua Yue had only seen this kind of cloth tiger when she was a child.

"You're awake." A slightly younger voice suddenly rang out, followed by an older voice, "Drink your medicine."

Hua Yue looked toward the source of the sound and saw a person sitting on a chair nearby.

He had a full head of silver hair, long and messy, hanging down to the ground, making it look as if his hair had come to life.

The person's face was also covered with a veil, but the eyes that were exposed were very beautiful.

But he clearly heard two voices just now, so why is there only one person in the room?

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a bowl of medicine on the bedside table, which smelled terribly bitter.

He doesn't know if it's because his ribs were squeezed by sand, but now his ribs are very painful.

Hua Yue thought that since the other party had saved him, there was no need to poison him, so he drank the medicine in one gulp.

So much suffering!!

Hua Yue immediately winced in pain.

The other person pointed to where the medicine bowl had been placed, "There's sugar."

Hua Yue quickly put the candy in her mouth and sincerely said, "Thank you."

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he always felt that this person looked at him with a very...kind gaze.

Hua Yue felt that the person in front of her posed no threat and almost instinctively wanted to get close to him.

He had never felt this way before.

Thinking of the purpose of her trip to the desert, Hua Yue tilted her head. "Chen Sha?"

Those beautiful eyes were filled with confusion. "Chen Sha...who is that?"

Hua Yue was extremely disappointed. She had thought she would be able to see her father... But thinking about it carefully, it made sense. How could it be such a coincidence?

He then remembered two other people and quickly asked, "My benefactor, have you seen two young men? They were with me."

Her beautiful eyes seemed to be lost in thought for a long while before she finally nodded slightly.

"Can you take me to them?" Huayue asked.

Her beautiful eyes nodded again, though they seemed conflicted.

He looked very unwilling.

Hua Yue wondered: Could it be that the two of them have offended their benefactor?

Beautiful Eyes led the way, with Flower Moon following behind.

He then noticed that the place he was in seemed to be a cluster of underground palace-like buildings.

There is absolutely no sunlight here, yet there are quite a few things that glow.

The entire building is made of stone bricks, and there are all kinds of braziers along the way.

However, the glowing thing in the brazier was not flame, but a kind of glowing mineral.

Strange plants also grow in the flowerpots along the way, their leaves and flowers emitting a faint glow.

Some of the stone bricks were covered with tiny, glowing lights, like fireflies, which looked quite beautiful.

What exactly is this place?

Hua Yue frowned, pondering, but had no clue what to do.

"We're here," said the pretty-eyed girl. "They're inside."
