Chapter 927 The Last Daily Life 106
Huihui approached the campfire with a smile that seemed to melt her face. She said, “It was so hot that it almost roasted us just now... The desert is really an incredible place.”
"Yeah, and eating out with everyone like this... it feels really fun."
Her Highness Alice's face was filled with a happy smile.
Darkness touched the girl's head with a motherly smile on her face and said, "Have a good rest today, and leave the desert tomorrow before the sun rises completely."
"Yes!"
Princess Alice agreed immediately.
"It's getting colder..." Aqua rubbed her cold shoulders and said, "Mr. Kobayashi, let me tell you, at times like this, just drink some bubbly and your body will warm up."
"You just want to drink a bar?" Xiao Lin handed her a drink and said, "Don't expect so much in the desert. Drink this instead."
"Eh----"
Aqua was very unhappy, but she still took it.
Seeing the drinks that Xiaolin handed to everyone, which were pitch black and had a strong aroma, Huihui asked curiously, “Is this… hot cocoa?”
"That's right." Xiao Lin replied, and stuffed a cup into her hand, saying, "Everyone has one. Come, Alice, try it too."
"Thank you, Brother-sama."
Princess Alice took the steaming hot cocoa with a happy smile on her face, and said softly to Xiaolin: "Also...thank you for bringing me to the desert. This is a very exciting and wonderful experience."
"This is nothing." Xiao Lin waved his hand and said with a smile: "The most troublesome thing is to convince Claire and Rain."
"But in the end, Claire agreed. It must be because she has already vaguely accepted her brother in her heart." Princess Alice seemed very moved by this matter. "So... not only today, you must take me out again in the future!"
"...Oh, of course!"
Xiaolin agreed immediately.
Alice felt relieved after hearing Xiaolin's assurance. She looked up at the starry sky and sighed, "I wonder what wonderful scenery will be waiting for me next time? Snow fields that freeze people to death, or towering valleys that make legs weak... I really want to visit various places."
It was a typical idea of wanting to go out for a walk after being trapped for a long time, and Xiaolin certainly agreed with her idea, but -
"Honestly, I would rather do nothing and just stay at home."
Xiaolin scratched his head.
Perhaps he had given up hope on the other world, so he didn't want to go out. After all, in Axel, the demon army would be killed one after another, and the right thing to do was to sit back and wait.
After hearing Xiaolin's useless remarks, Princess Alice was a little unhappy. She pouted her lips as if complaining and said, "I really can't stand it, Brother... Huh... Don't say such things... that will destroy my dreams..."
"What's wrong, Alice?" Xiaolin looked at the girl's head, which gradually moved and finally leaned on his shoulder. He sniffed the fragrance of her hair and said, "Are you tired?"
“Hoo…Hoo…Hmm…”
Her Highness Alice's answer was a steady breathing sound. I didn't expect her to fall asleep at this time, even in the wild, or even in the desert. But it also shows from the side that she trusts Xiaolin and others so much.
"I fell asleep..."
Aqua looked at the sleeping princess and gently stroked her forehead, bringing a touch of warmth and coolness. Darkness nodded, stood up and said to everyone, "You've been walking all day, you must be tired. I'll go get ready."
"I'll help too..."
“No, Xiaolin, forget it.” Darkness glanced at the sleeping Princess Alice and said, “If you move, Princess Alice will wake up.”
“Yes, yes… I’ll leave it to you, Darkness.” Kobayashi looked at Darkness walking away, then looked at the princess leaning on him. Her peaceful sleeping face made him feel moved.
"She's a princess, strong in combat, and quite steady... but she's still a child after all. Her sleeping face is so adorable."
Kobayashi wanted to touch the girl's cheek, but was afraid of disturbing her, so he had to give up. However, it seemed that it would be nice to roam around with Alice.
Xiao Lin couldn't help but think so, but unknown to him, on the other side of the desert, unexpected things were happening.
This is a magnificent palace.
A huge palace stood in the desert, and the surrounding oasis was filled with greenery. Looking closely, it was obviously the same oasis that Xiaolin and the others saw during the day.
"Hmm... According to the information we got beforehand... the treasure seems to be in the treasure house ahead."
A thief girl walked briskly into the palace.
This place was clearly heavily guarded, yet she was able to dodge all the guards and easily reach the interior of the palace.
"Hey, I don't like sneaking around, let's be more proactive!"
The man following behind her had an impatient expression on his face, and he looked like a front-line warrior.
Chris looked at Dust behind him helplessly, curled his lips and said, "What are you talking about, Dust? Wouldn't that make me a robber? I'm a thief. I should steal the treasure easily and then leave in a carefree and natural way."
"You don't look like a thief..." Dust rolled his eyes, then tugged at his clothes and complained, "Besides, what's the matter with our clothes?"
At this time, Chris was wearing a light costume like a desert dancer, and Duster was also wearing a costume similar to that of a desert bandit. The two looked almost no different from the people in the desert.
Duster should have gone back to Axel with Lynn and the others, and should not have easily believed Chris's words about making a lot of money. He now regrets it.
Have I got on a pirate ship?
"My assistant... No, it was made by Xiaolin." Chris turned around, very satisfied with the clothes Xiaolin specially made with stone slabs, and explained: "He said that this outfit would be more suitable if we want to sneak into the mansion in the desert."
"In disguise?" Dust curled his lips and said unhappily, "But I still prefer ordinary clothes--"
"Really? Stop complaining." Chris interrupted him forcefully and said, "You insisted on coming here, so you have to follow my instructions!"
"Yes Yes Yes."
Duster sighed helplessly. This was indeed the truth. He had followed Chris here shamelessly only after hearing him say that there was a lot of money to be made. He should have left earlier.
"Forget it, there's nothing I can do." Dust consoled himself and said, "Everything is for the sake of obtaining a rare treasure... Just rub it a few times and a magic lamp will appear that will help the devil make your wish come true... It sounds suspicious, but if it's true, it's really an incredible treasure!"
That’s right, the main reason why Dust followed here was because of this powerful and rare treasure. He came here just for this!
"Anyway, I'll make a wish to be the king first?" Dust fell into fantasy, with an evil smile on his face, and said: "Or let beautiful women serve me, and there is always endless bubble wine to drink... Hehe, hehehe——"
"Wait, Dust."
Chris stretched out his hand to interrupt his fantasy and said seriously: "I've said it before, that's not possible. Although I will share the reward with you, I have to take the magic lamp!"
That’s right, the magic lamp is a sacred artifact brought by a reincarnated person from another world, and Chris’s mission is to recover it and certainly not let it fall into the hands of others.
"Don't be so unkind." Dust had a flattering smile on his face. He leaned close to Chris and said pleadingly, "Let's enjoy it together, shall we? If the rumors are true, any wish can come true, right?"
"No." However, Chris didn't buy his trick at all. He crossed his arms and refused directly, saying, "Who told you that you look like you can make weird wishes?"
"How could that be!" Dust denied unhappily, and shouted with a slightly raised voice: "I just want to make a wish for world peace... and also women and money..."
“…This guy is no good.”
Chris was completely helpless with him.
Then the two of them dodged the guards' detection many times, moved quickly and stealthily in the palace, and soon came to a secret room. Pushing open the door, they saw a pile of golden hills that made people want to exclaim. There were all kinds of treasures here, as well as mountains of gold coins, which were truly magnificent.
"…Looks like we've reached our destination."
Chris looked at the mountains of treasures and felt no excitement at all. After all, her true identity was a goddess, and she would not even look at these useless treasures. She hoped to find the magic lamp at her destination as soon as possible, and then leave quietly without being discovered by anyone.
But Dust is different.
"Wow! Lock picking skills are so convenient." He first praised Chris's skills with an envious expression, as if he wanted to become his apprentice. However, Chris obviously saw through his thoughts and refused outright.
"If you learn it, I think you will definitely abuse it..." After refusing, Chris said to him: "Let's not talk about this for now. The magic lamp we are looking for is--"
"I said, could it be this?"
Duster looked at the magic lamp specially placed in the golden mountain and motioned Chris to look over. After seeing it, Chris had an obvious smile and a happy expression on his face.
"Oh, Dust did a great job!" She praised him and said, "Well, now that we have found it, let's get out of here!"
"Wait, let's confirm whether the rumor is true!"
Duster did not follow Chris away, but held the magic lamp in his hand with a strange smile on his face, as if he was going to do something bad.
Indeed, if the stolen magic lamp was fake, then their trip would be in vain, and it would be necessary to confirm the authenticity of the magic lamp - however, this is not the case, because Chris is very sure that it is the real artifact.
“Wait, wait!?”
Seeing him like this, Chris was obviously panicked. She whispered, "Daxt, what are you doing?! If the demon really escapes--"
“When the time comes, I’ll just have to obey my desires! Uooohhh————!”
“No way… eh?”
Duster rubbed the magic lamp vigorously despite Chris's attempts to stop him. However, despite Chris's panic-stricken expression, the devil did not run out of the lamp. It was as if nothing had happened in the peaceful treasure house... No, nothing had happened.
"Nothing happened..." Dust was also a little surprised, but soon his face changed, "No, that's not right!"
But it wasn't a good thing that happened, but a bad thing. Duster suddenly rolled on the ground with an unbearable expression on his face. He exclaimed, "It's so itchy! What's going on? It's so itchy, my whole body is super itchy! Hey, Chris, think of a solution quickly!"
He asked his companions for help.
Chris came to Dust and squatted down, carefully checking Dust's condition, and said in surprise: "Your whole body has turned red? Could it be... hives?"
"Why are hives coming out? Shouldn't the demon be coming out?!"
Duster shouted in despair and collapse, scratching his arms and shoulders with a ferocious look on his face. He looked so itchy that it made people feel distressed.
"Demon...demon rash...urticaria...?"
Chris kept chewing on the words, then she clapped her hands in sudden realization and said, "I see, I think I understand what's going on... It's not the magic lamp that will produce the devil, but the cursed magic lamp that will produce hives!"
“Huh?!” Dust completely collapsed. He held his head and yelled, “No way?! Ahhhhhhh!!!… No, my whole body is itching!”
Even tears came out.
"You deserve it. Who told you to get something for nothing?" Chris curled his lips and belittled Dust, a scumbag. Then he sighed and said, "This is not my specialty. You should go to Miss Aqua for treatment."
"Okay, I'll go ask her for help again... Damn, it's so itchy, so itchy, so itchy--!"
Dust's expression became more ferocious.
"Hehehe..."
Seeing his miserable appearance, Chris couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckled, "Dreams should not be entrusted to the devil, but achieved by oneself. Isn't this a good lesson?"
"It's so noisy!" Dust was unwilling to give up. He suppressed his throat and roared: "I won't give up like this!!!"
But for the next three days and three nights, his whole body was itchy until he met Aqua in the oasis and was rescued.
