si-mexico Chapter 614 is really a bit of a pity.
Chapter 614 is really a bit of a pity.
This mistress of Tanette was undoubtedly a master of the art of using people. She inadvertently demonstrated her trust and care for them, and her words were like a gentle breeze. No wonder Jade was willing to work under her.
Xu Ning smiled and thanked her.
"Oh, right, before I go to handle those tedious affairs in the tribe, I need to have someone prepare tents for you to rest in..."
Babel glanced at Belial behind Xu Ning and chuckled, "...If I'm not mistaken, one tent should be enough, right?"
Before Xu Ning could speak, Jade laughed and said, "Just give this drunkard a small tent. Belial can sleep with me tonight. We haven't seen each other in a long time, and I have a lot to say to her."
Xu Ning shook his head with a wry smile. This little lily who forgets her friends for the sake of a pretty face.
However, Xu Ning really didn't need a tent. "I'm used to wandering in the mountains and fields, so I don't need anything too complicated. A place to shelter from the wind is enough."
Upon hearing what Jiede and Xu Ning said, Babel's lips curled up slightly, as if he had thought of something interesting.
However, her tone was slightly reproachful, "Little Jiede, this is not the way to treat guests. Alright, let me take care of our distinguished guest. Someone, come here!"
It must be said that Babel's prestige in Tanit was indeed very strong; a simple order was executed perfectly in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
A deliberately chosen stone slab floor, a magnificent tent, and a luxurious cloisonné enamel tray on a clean wooden table, containing golden wine glasses and silver food bowls.
For a small tribe struggling to survive in the desert to offer these things to its guests is already a testament to their sincerity.
However, seeing this treatment only made Xu Ning feel more and more uncomfortable.
Jade and Belial had just left hand in hand.
Xu Ning clearly saw that Jiede's tent was far away from the rest of the tribe's tents and was located in a small corner of the ruins, which seemed to confirm Jiede's status as a "half-outsider".
Belial himself was naturally indifferent to Jade's idea of resting with Belial.
Xu Ning sighed and whispered, "You need to protect yourself when you're out and about." Then he hoped that Belial could find out exactly what Jade was doing in this tribe.
Xu Ning then returned to his tent, sat cross-legged at the table, and quietly drank and pondered.
I had only met Jeberle and Jade by chance, and although we had traveled together for a while, I had no debt to them as father and daughter.
However, since we have met again by chance, I will certainly not hesitate to lend a hand if there is anything I can do to help.
But what Xu Ning found most incredible was Jiede's obsession with the eternal oasis.
The fates of the father and daughter seemed to be pulled together by two threads.
My father's lifelong pursuit was the "Golden Dreamland," and in the end, he attained his goal and returned to the eternal dreamland from which he could never return.
After her father's death, the daughter became obsessed with the "eternal oasis," and even after returning to her tribe, she continued her search relentlessly.
As for himself, the two secrets left behind by the Red King, "Golden Dreamland" and "Eternal Oasis," had both been mentioned to him by the Red King in person, and were gifts left for him.
Now that he has taken possession of the "Golden Dreamland," he has no idea what is hidden in the "Eternal Oasis."
But what Jeberlele couldn't let go of most before he died was his daughter. Now that he had obtained the "Golden Dreamland," he couldn't let Jade make any more mistakes in this tribe or the "Eternal Oasis."
Just as he was pondering this, he heard a soft laugh coming from outside the tent.
"I suppose our distinguished guest is still awake at this hour?"
Xu Ning paused, slightly surprised but upon reflection, it made sense.
"The clan chief is the matriarch of Tanit. Every inch of this land should be safe for her. Xu Ning is a guest. Why is the clan chief being so polite in her own home?"
Babel gently lifted the curtain and leaned in, giggling, "Babel has never heard anyone speak as sweetly as you."
Xu Ning smiled, took a gold cup from the tray, and poured Babel a cup of genuine "Thousand Leaves".
"I wonder if the clan chief came here so late at night because he has something to tell Xu Ning during the search for the oasis?"
Babel gently pinched the wine glass with two fingers.
It was only at this moment that Xu Ning could clearly see Babel's hands.
Completely different from the rough hands of desert people worn by wind and sand, Babel's fingers were slender, white and moist. Most interestingly, her thumbs and index fingers were covered with gold finger covers, and the sharp fingertips were even painted with nail polish to depict the shape of nails.
Xu Ning could easily imagine that slender, soft jade hand gently caressing her neck before transforming into the sharp talons of a falcon.
Babel, however, did not notice Xu Ning's gaze; her attention was completely drawn to the drink in her glass.
"What...what is this? No wonder I saw that the wine pot on the table hadn't been moved at all when I came in. After all, with this kind of wine that seems to give people a new life, who would drink that turbid stream seeping from the sand dunes?"
Babel, somewhat absentmindedly, downed the wine in the golden cup in one gulp. Even the trace of wine that spilled from the corner of her mouth was tucked back into her small, cherry-like lips by her nimble, delicate tongue.
"Our distinguished guests have arrived in Tanit, yet they can only drink the wine they brought themselves. This is a lack of hospitality on Tanit's part. Fortunately, even though our small tribe is barren and desolate, we still have a few treasures that are enough to entertain our guests..."
Babel lifted her hood and took it off, revealing a head of long, alluring pink hair. With that one lift, her entire demeanor transformed from noble to seductive, a change that would undoubtedly be fatal to any man.
Xu Ning is the one who understands this best.
Imagine the revered and respected Lord Tianquan during the day, with his long hair disheveled and softly panting in your arms after nightfall—this contrast is the most captivating.
Hmm, very good. Just thinking of Ningguang makes Babel's bewitching charm seem to lose its power.
Xu Ning watched as Madam Babel seemed to want to bypass the table and cling to him, his mind racing with thoughts.
He needed to find a way to avoid hurting the woman's pride and causing her to mobilize her entire clan to hunt him down, while also avoiding having to feign compliance and become a laughingstock among those in the gourd.
But how can there be a solution in such a short time?
Is he going to use the excuse of needing to pee to disappear and never come back?
But what if the mistress goes a little too far and won't let us go out to relieve ourselves...? Wow, that's exciting...
Xu Ning was truly at his wit's end. He subtly touched the Dust Concealment Gourd, pretending to drink while his fingers frantically flicked the gourd's surface, desperately pleading for help from the person inside.
Fortunately, the guys inside were indeed reliable. The light from the mouth of the Dust Concealment Gourd flickered slightly, and Xu Ning immediately felt that there was another person behind him.
Xu Ning felt much more at ease and, before Babel could do anything further, quickly spoke up.
"Actually, Chieftain, there's no need for you to be so polite. You are incredibly sincere and trust me completely, even as a stranger. That alone is enough to make me feel right at home. Um, if Chieftain has nothing else to say, I'll be taking my leave now..."
Xu Ning reached out and pulled the person behind him into his arms, laughing, "The spring night is always too short, let alone when there's only half the night left..."
Babel's fawning smile froze instantly.
She had been inside the tent for half a day, and she hadn't even noticed that there was someone hiding behind Xu Ning.
When her gaze lowered to the lovely woman in Xu Ning's arms, her stiff lips twitched slightly.
The beautiful woman in Xu Ning's arms seemed to be sleeping soundly. Her white pantyhose accentuated her delicate and slender figure, and her slightly upturned lips, with the tip of her blue braid in her mouth, looked as if she wanted to kiss him even in her sleep. She was truly a sight to behold.
However… Babel, with his talent for “seeing” countless people, keenly noticed that the little guy in Xu Ning’s arms was actually a cute little boy.
Babel gently tidied her hair and pulled her hood up, saying with a touch of melancholy, "Tsk! It's really a pity. How should I put it? No wonder you and Jade are such good friends. Young people are getting harder and harder to understand... Well then, I really won't disturb your rest any longer."
Babel stood up, gave a slight bow, and then decisively left the tent.
Xu Ning's whole body was already stiff. All he knew was that Babel seemed to have gotten what he wanted, but not what he had hoped for.
With trembling hands, I placed the Dust Concealment Gourd firmly, and then a flash of white light led me into the Dust Concealment Cave.
The moment Xu Ning stepped onto the grass of the Hidden Dust Cave, he exploded, sending the cowardly god he was holding flying far away in a windmill-like spin.
Amidst Wendy's "Aaaaaaahhhhhhh—bang!" rhythm, Xu Ning yelled at Qingyi, "What kind of terrible idea is this!"
"Anyone I could hug would be better than this guy. Even if you went out and did it yourself, who knows what kind of rumors would spread about you tomorrow? My reputation had finally started to improve..."
The woman in green scoffed, “A bad idea? This is clearly the quickest solution. Haven’t you considered what would happen if it were someone else? What if that little slut shamelessly wanted to have a threesome with you, and I was the one who got wet? Besides, I’ve already been very considerate of your reputation. Otherwise, the person you picked up from behind just now would have been Toratarou. I guarantee that little slut would have run away faster than a rabbit, you believe me?”
Thinking about how he would say "the night is too short" and then drag a big yellow dog out from behind him, Xu Ning suddenly felt that Wendy wasn't so bad after all.
Moreover, judging from Babel's appearance just now, his special "fetish" had just resolved the awkwardness of her failing to "offer herself" to him. At least in the days to come in Tanette, he would neither break off relations nor suffer from her harassment again.
Now that he had entered the cave, Xu Ning decided not to go out to sleep anymore and wandered around the cave for a while.
The puppies, with their strict schedules, had already lined up to sleep and were now fast asleep.
Xu Ning turned and walked towards the former "God of the Righteous Machine". Half of the adult's body had been dismantled, and compared with the other half of the complete body, there was a strange kind of beauty in the disability.
Below and to the side of the God of Justice, Shen He was reading a book, while the monk Ji, who had transformed into a little boy, was meditating with his eyes closed.
Xu Ning originally came to find Shen He's master, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun, but seeing the contrast between the two, he couldn't help but come over to take a look.
"Why is Aji learning to meditate?" Xu Ning asked as he walked over to Shen He.
Shen He put down the book in his hand. "When Master saw that it was doing nothing all day and wasting its talent, he taught it some cultivation methods."
Hearing this, Xu Ning felt that he hadn't taken good enough care of everyone in Chenyin Cave. Since arriving in Xumi, he had only been focused on finding his past and had forgotten about his promise to Master Ji. Even Shen He, who had traveled such a long way with him, he rarely chatted or went shopping with her.
Xu Ning casually flipped through the book Shen He had put down and asked, "I wonder what True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng is doing now? I have some things I'd like to ask True Lord for a favor."
Shen He sensed his master's location and pointed to the God of Righteousness, "It should be in the uppermost part of the chest cavity."
Xu Ning nodded, casually closed the book in his hand and pushed it back to Shen He, then leaped onto the God of Zhengji.
With a few leaps, Xu Ning arrived at the broken chest of the God of Righteousness. He respectfully bowed to the True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng and said, "True Lord, Xu Ning has a request. I would like to borrow your skillful hand. Please grant my request."
Without turning his head, True Lord Liuyun said, "Tell me what you have to say so I can make a decision."
Xu Ning took out the phonograph machine with the commemorative mirror from his pocket.
"The lenses on these glasses are made using the Inazuma secret method. They have the effect of reading people's thoughts, but they are not very convenient to use, and taking photos casually can easily arouse suspicion. I saw that the glasses worn by the True Lord are beautifully designed, so I shamelessly asked the True Lord to modify them for me."
Upon hearing Xu Ning's description of the lens's function, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun stopped, took the recording device, and examined Xu Ning.
Xu Ning was so frightened that he quickly composed himself.
Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun snorted coldly, seemingly seeing that Xu Ning was trying his best to suppress his thoughts. After a long while, he said, "Your lens is a good divine object, but it would be a pity to cut it like this. It would be better to make you a monocle. It wouldn't look out of place on your body. Hmm, it would be best to add a gold chain as well."
Seeing that True Monarch Liuyun was about to fall into deep thought, Xu Ning quickly asked the question he had wanted to ask earlier.
"Did you teach Shen He to read?"
Without even looking up, True Lord Liuyun Borrowed Wind said, "That's for sure."
"Read 'A Collection of Textbooks on Puberty Physiology'?"
Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun nodded, then seemed to suddenly wake up, his face flushing red.
"Well, I think Liuxia lent it to her. Reading more books... should have some benefits, after all... it's always good to have more skills..."
Xu Ning looked at Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun with some suspicion, completely unable to understand the connection between "physiology textbook" and "it's never a bad thing to have many skills".
"Anyway, you don't need to worry about it. You can pick up your glasses tomorrow morning. Shen He, stop reading and get some rest."
