Chapter 34

  Yun Ge looked in the direction of the voice and soon saw an old man in a pool on one side of the room. This old man was the very one he had saved before. However, the old man now looked radiant and was in no way like the dying man he had been before.

  Upon seeing Yun Ge, the old man got up and stood up from the pool. The maids standing by immediately came forward to dry him off and then draped a magnificent robe over him.

  The maids here all had delicate skin, fiery figures, and were dressed in a way that left little to the imagination. As a result, the sight of them serving the old man was even more captivating than the two maids who had served him, causing Yun Ge to blush and have to quickly avert his gaze to avoid any embarrassing reactions.

  "Ha ha ha! Come! My benefactor! Please come and sit beside me quickly!" After getting dressed, the old man, with a ruddy complexion, beckoned Yun Ge to sit with him at the dining table on the other side of the room. Then, several maids brought a variety of delicious dishes to the table.

  "Ha ha ha! Benefactor! You've really suffered on this journey! If it weren't for your constant encouragement, I might not have made it back! Come! Please eat more and replenish your strength!" The old man said after taking a bite of the fruit personally served by a maid.

  "Oh! Elder, you really shouldn't say that! Anyone would have done the same in my place!" Yun Ge replied, feeling quite embarrassed.

  Hearing Yun Ge address him as "Elder," the old man took an even greater liking to him.

  So he gave Yun Ge a slight bow and said, "Young man, please forgive my rudeness for hiding my identity when we first met. In fact, Oasis Station is a large transit city built in the desert, and I am the Great Elder in charge of managing it. I concealed my identity before to avoid any ill intentions from you."

  "As for why I was there—ha ha ha! Besides being the elder here, I also really enjoy traveling. But due to my responsibilities, I can't go far, so I occasionally use the pretext of inspecting my work to visit some nearby smaller stations and take short trips."

  "Since the surrounding environment has been peaceful for years, bandits dare not easily commit crimes around Oasis City. Coupled with the short distance to the station I was heading to this time, I was careless and only brought a few followers.”

  “Little did I expect that on our way back, we would encounter a group of bandits passing through here, leading to our tragic defeat as we were unable to resist."

  The elder said, waving his fist in anger, "Humph! I don't know where those bandits came from, but they actually dared to commit crimes on my turf and attacked my team! I will make them pay in blood for this!"

  Then, under the gentle caresses of two maids, the elder adjusted his mood and continued, "My benefactor, you may not know that my Sandbar Town is a vital transportation hub in the desert, and it is very wealthy. So, tell me! My benefactor! How would you like me to repay you?"

  Although Yun Ge had already learned from the two maids that the elder wanted to reward him, he really didn't know what he wanted.

  So when he heard the elder's question, he immediately fell into deep thought: "How to repay me? Elder, I'm already very grateful to be alive and well. Besides that, I don't know what else I want for the time being."

  Upon hearing this, the elder laughed heartily and spread his arms, saying, "Ha ha ha! It's okay! My benefactor can take your time to think about it and doesn't need to answer me right away! Sandbar Town has everything! I will try my best to fulfill all your requests! Moreover, I really admire you! If you are willing, I can even hand over all the power to manage Sandbar Town to you in the future! Everything here can belong to you if you like!"

  As the elder spoke, he gave a meaningful look to the maids standing by, and several maids with fiery figures and revealing clothes immediately approached Yun Ge with their seductive movements. To be honest, in the face of beautiful women, wealth, and power, how many men can remain composed?

  So, when Yun Ge heard the generous rewards offered by the elder and felt the burning sparks produced by the touch of several young maids, his heart also involuntarily gave rise to a thirst for desire.

  However, even so, Yun Ge remained unmoved in the face of these temptations. Because he always felt that everything before him was not real enough. Moreover, he seemed not to belong here. It seemed that there were still many roads ahead that he needed to explore. Because Yun Ge really wanted to know why he couldn't remember anything except his name.

  This strong desire to explore made Yun Ge feel that he must continue to move forward until he left this desert. Because only in this way could he find the answer he wanted but couldn't voice.

  So, after a fierce struggle within himself, Yun Ge apologetically bowed slightly to the elder and said, "Elder, I actually don't know what reward I want. If you really want to give me a reward, please give me a camel and some food and drinking water!

  Because my current wish is to walk out of this desert and see the outside world. Because I always feel that there are still some things I need to explore, I really can't stay here with you all the time!"

  Stolen novel; please report.

  The elder obviously didn't expect Yun Ge to say this, so he looked at Yun Ge with a somewhat questioning expression for a while before responding, "Young man, this desert is much vaster than you think! If you want to walk out of it, you have to go a very, very long way! Besides, what's there to see in the outside world? ”

  “You might as well stay here with me and enjoy the happy life of power, fine wine and food, and the company of beautiful women!"

  As the elder spoke, he waved his hand, and two maids with fiery figures obediently sat on each of his thighs. At the same time, a maid dressed in a revealing outfit also sat on Yun Ge's thigh with a sinuous waist.

  Faced with such a sensual scene, Yun Ge couldn't help but swallow his saliva subconsciously. However, he quickly refocused and once again expressed his desire to continue his journey in the desert.

  Seeing that Yun Ge's attitude was very firm, the elder waved his hand to have the maids retreat to both sides, and then he said with a rather regretful tone, "Sigh! Alright! Since you are so determined, I can only respect your choice! My benefactor, I will provide you with three camels and enough food to ensure that you can safely reach the next town in the desert."

  "When you get there, you can use the token I give you to obtain free supplies. In this way, you won't have to worry about food shortages before walking out of the desert! As for whether you can successfully walk out of the desert in the end, it depends on your own fortune!"

  The elder continued, "I have to remind you that the further away from Sandbar Town, the more bandits there are outside. Coupled with the changeable climate in the desert, the road ahead is much more arduous than you think."

  "But you don't have to worry too much. Because my invitation to you is always valid. Once you decide to give up your journey, you can return to Sandbar Town, and I am still willing to share everything I have here with you."

  After ending his meeting with the elder, Yun Ge rested in Sandbar Town for two more days and then set off on his journey again. Thanks to the elder's generous provision of camels and food, Yun Ge's subsequent travels became much easier.

  Yun Ge traveled in the direction indicated by the elder, and he was also very lucky not to encounter any bandit attacks along the way. At his current pace, it would take Yun Ge at most five or six more days to reach the place called Golden Honey Town.

  However, Yun Ge still thought this journey was too simple, because after traveling smoothly for several days, he forgot another reminder from the elder before he left. This directly led to Yun Ge having to struggle hard against the sandstorm in the following days without any preparation, and eventually lost his way to avoid the center of the sandstorm.

  Although Yun Ge was no longer in danger after avoiding the center of the sandstorm, he had to continue moving forward to quickly get away from the sandstorm, as he dared not stop for fear that the center of the sandstorm would move to the area where he was.

  But the problem now was that the overwhelming sand and dust had long made Yun Ge lose his way, so he could only choose a direction that could both stay away from the center of the sandstorm and not deviate too far from Golden Honey Town.

  Fortunately, Yun Ge had good luck this time. After a whole day of long journey, he finally found a small station on a hill with high terrain in the distance. Although this small station, covering an area of about twenty square meters, looked very dilapidated, it still stood firm in the desert, resisting the overwhelming sand and dust.

  Therefore, Yun Ge naturally didn't complain too much, but drove his exhausted camels to the station as quickly as possible.

  Yun Ge eagerly opened the wooden door of the station and was about to lead the camel in when he saw three children in tattered clothes huddled under a table in the corner of the station, staring at him nervously with terrified eyes.

  Seeing this, Yun Ge immediately became alert, put one hand on the curved knife at his waist, and quickly scanned the inside of the station for any ambush while propping up the wooden door with the other hand. At the same time, he asked in a serious tone, "Who are you people?!"

  "Please, don't hurt us! We are just wandering beggars, we have no money! We only have a little bit of food left! If you want it, please take it! But, but, please have mercy and don't take all our drinking water! We really don't want to die here! Wuwuwu!" The girl hiding under the table immediately answered with a cry full of fear.

  Seeing the girl crying, a boy who looked the most thin quickly held her. The boy who looked much older and bigger than the other two children hurriedly crawled out from under the table.

  The boy knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Yun Ge while pleading, "Yes, yes, sir! Please don't hurt us! Please leave us a way to survive! We just want to take shelter from the sandstorm here! We don't want to die outside like other children! We will leave here after hiding for one more day! Please, please spare us!"

  Although these three children started to beg for mercy as soon as they saw him, Yun Ge did not let his guard down. Because the elder had warned him that the desert is a place where no rules are followed, and any creature that looks harmless may pose a fatal threat to you.

  So, worried that these three children were just bait for those with ill intentions to let down his guard, Yun Ge still carefully searched the inside and outside of the station after stopping the children from moving. It was not until he was sure that there was no threat here that he finally felt relieved to lead the camel into the station.

  A small pile of firewood was burning in the center of the station. It was not only the only lighting tool in the station at night, but also the only heating facility in the station at night. But because Yun Ge was sitting beside the fire with a curved knife in his hand, the three children, who were now shivering from the cold, did not dare to approach the fire easily, but could only huddle together under the table in the corner to keep warm.

  Finally, Yun Ge, who couldn't bear to watch the three children freeze at night, sighed helplessly and said, "Sigh! I said you three, come over and warm up quickly! But I warn you, if you want to harm me, I will definitely teach you a lesson and will not be merciful! Do you understand?"

  The three children nodded timidly, and then the little girl who was shivering from the cold tried to crawl out from under the table. As a result, the other two boys quickly pulled her back. Then, the boy who looked the oldest asked vigilantly, "Will you really not hurt us?"

  "As long as you have no ill intentions towards me, I naturally will not hurt you," Yun Ge replied.

  After listening, the three children fell silent again. But Yun Ge could see that they were not intimidated by his words, but obviously did not believe the promise he made.

  So Yun Ge sighed again, put down the curved knife in his hand, and raised his hands to beckon the three children, "Alright! I don't think you look like bad people, and I'm not a bad person either. So, I believe we can definitely friendly share this shelter from the sandstorm together! Come out, all of you! If you really get frozen, that will be troublesome!"

  With that, Yun Ge took out a large piece of bread and a processed ham from his backpack, and then put them on the fire to heat up.
