Chapter 1149! Desert
Chapter 1149! Desert
……
Honestly speaking, Shen Ye's story was full of loopholes and was not believable, but at least he managed to fool the three women. After all, sometimes all a woman needs is an attitude... Although Shen Ye did not admit his mistakes or apologize, taking the time to fool around was also a kind of attitude.
Then the three women left the room, but before Weiwei left, Shen Ye stopped her and asked her a question.
"Vivi, what was the name of your Alabasta Kingdom's first king?"
"The ancestor's name was Nefert D. Lily, and she was a queen! But no one except us royal family knows about it."
It’s actually true!
Shen Ye, who was still a little skeptical until Weiwei confirmed it, breathed a sigh of relief and let Weiwei, who was full of doubts, leave.
The room became quiet again. Shen Ye lay on the bed, his head resting on his arm, looking at the window he had broken without thinking. Fortunately, this was a coastal town, and the sea breeze blowing in was neither cold nor hot, with only a slight fishy smell from the ocean. However, the sea voyages during this period had already made him accustomed to the smell of the sea.
After lying there for a while with his mind empty, Shen Ye fell asleep soon.
Time quickly came to the next day. After having breakfast and replenishing some supplies, the group of four began to head towards the desert oasis of Juba.
Of course, Weiwei was still riding the big duck called Run Fast, while Shen Ye, Nami and Robin each had a camel. As for their boat, it was docked at the port of the small town. For this, Shen Ye paid a large sum of money for storage and berthing fees.
Then, before leaving, Nami asked Vivi in confusion why she didn't just cross the desert to Alubana, the capital of the Kingdom of Alabasta.
Vivi's answer was that in addition to dealing with Krokelda, the kingdom also had to deal with domestic rebels, and the desert oasis of Yuba was the base of the rebels, and the leader of the rebels seemed to be her childhood good friend Kosa.
It sounds like a simple question and answer, but it piqued the interest of both Nami and Robin, or rather, they found a topic to tease "Cricket" Vivi.
So along the way, the two women's topics were basically:
"Should good friends we've known since childhood be called childhood sweethearts?"
"Robin, don't talk nonsense, we're just friends!"
"Ho ho ho, don't explain. Explanation is just covering up."
"Nami, if you keep saying that, I'm going to hit someone. Even if they're my sisters, I'll still hit them!"
"Robin, isn't this what we call being angry and embarrassed?"
"You could also call it being furious."
"No way... Shut up! Shen, take care of them."
"Okay, Nami, Robin, stop talking. I believe in Vivi."
As they talked, they realized that even though they were walking in the desert, the journey was not boring. It was just that the environment in the desert was too harsh, coupled with the scorching sun above their heads, and soon after, except for Shen Ye, the three women became much more listless, even Weiwei was no exception.
Not long after that, Nami started complaining:
"Weiwei, how long will it take us to get to Yuba!"
"We'll get there by crossing this desert. It'll probably take two days."
"Two days, everyone will get tanned at this rate."
"So please don't take off your veil and headscarf, or you'll be as dark as Robin in just one day."
"I'm not dark at all." Robin, who was called, said loudly, then took out a mirror and looked at himself.
To be honest, she is not dark at all, just not as white as Nami and Vivi. But she is still a beauty with fair skin and beautiful looks.
Shen Ye's camel fell behind the three women. He listened to their conversation but did not insert himself. The strong sun not only made the three of them uncomfortable, but also made him uncomfortable. Even though he was now immune to cold and heat, the feeling was another matter.
But he was not so bored that he did nothing. After every once in a while, he would look back, and with his eyesight, he could naturally see the woman following them from a distance.
Naifet D. Lilly.
This woman, who is at least 800 years old, also chose to go to Yuba to find out the situation instead of going directly to the capital of the Kingdom of Alabasta.
Shen Ye could understand this. The reason for a rebellion in a country might be simple, but resolving it was very complicated. It was not like killing someone could quell the rebellion. If it were that easy, there wouldn't have been so many rebellions from ancient times to the present. Who would do such a dangerous job if they had a good life?
Of course, that refers to the real world. The situation in the Kingdom of Alabasta is somewhat special. Ultimately, it was caused by Crokelda alone. Eliminating him can really quell the rebellion to a certain extent. This is completely different from the real world.
After all, there are people in this world who can defeat an entire country alone.
Thinking this in his heart, Shen Ye withdrew his gaze. He didn't care about suppressing the rebellion. Everything he did was just for Weiwei. So instead of thinking about these things, it would be better to think about how to get Weiwei on board after the matter was over. After all, Weiwei loved this country deeply...
In this way, time passed quickly in the boring journey, and in the blink of an eye it was night.
There is naturally no place to shelter from the wind and rain in the desert, so Shen Ye and his companions found a relatively flat place and set up camp.
Shen Ye did not participate in the process of setting up the tent, but set up a pot and cooked. During this period, the three women took turns cooking every day, and it was time for him to serve them... Well, by the way, improve the taste.
But he didn't make it too luxurious, rather very simple, with some grilled meat and vegetables, and then a hot pot.
Although the meal was simple, the three women enjoyed it very much. In addition, Shen Ye brought out some cold beer, which immediately swept away the fatigue from the day.
Shen Ye ate with them for a while, and then while the three women were chatting happily, he found an excuse to leave.
Not long after, Shen Ye appeared in front of Nefert D. Lily. Looking at the queen sitting on a woolen blanket, chewing a hard pancake, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty lives a simple life!"
Lily rolled her eyes at the teasing words and said unhappily, "The conditions in the desert are pretty good... I guess you guys aren't much better than me."
"That's hard to say... Look what this is." Shen Ye flipped his hands, and in his hands appeared fragrant barbecue skewers and cold beer that exuded a chill.
Then he said in a tempting tone: "Your Majesty, would you like to eat?"
