Chapter 674 Intermission
Chapter 674 Halftime
The traveler team got busy preparing the delicious little cakes.
Paimon was peeling some fruit while asking Pingzi what he thought of the film, "What did Lilupal think of Su's Dance of the Flower Goddess?"
She knew that Su's dance was purely for her and Sora, and she didn't care about Lilupal's opinion, but she was curious!
Lilupal wrote an ornate essay praising her highness's beauty, but finally said lightly that it was not the real dance of the goddess of flowers.
Su: "Because it's been so long, the dance that has been passed down has been lost and changed. By the way, Lilupal must know the Dance of the Flower Goddess, right? Show me how to dance."
As a dancer, Nilu must want to know what the real Flower God Dance is like. Let's see her learn it and teach it to Nilu~
Lilupal firmly rejected Su, saying that the real dance of the flower god is performed while flying, a graceful and grand dance. However, the space inside the magic bottle is too small to perform.
"That is not beautiful, my Lord. I cannot allow myself to perform an ugly dance of the goddess of flowers. It would be a defilement to my mistress. If that happens, I would rather die."
Paimeng let out a sigh. She could feel Zhen Ling's determination and seriousness. "Don't say such things suddenly! We won't force you!"
Kong felt the fanatical devotion and love that Zhen Ling had for the Flower God. He began to think about whether they, especially Su, had said anything bad about the Flower God.
After spending quite some time, the delicious little cake was finally completed.
Su and Paimon shared all ten flavors of cakes.
Sue: "So satisfying! The cupcakes Sora makes are the best in the world!"
Paimon: "I want to eat a few more. Su and I only ate five."
Sora put away the extra cakes unmoved, "It's not good to eat too much cream before bed."
Paimon's brain was working at high speed under the temptation of delicious food, and he suggested sending a few to Jade to try.
When Jade was eating, she also got a bite! Hehehe.
Finally, the group of travelers carried sweet cakes and went to look for Jade in the Tanit tribe.
"I can't find her anywhere. Isn't she in the tribe?" Paimon was a little worried.
Su saw the older sister with long light-colored hair tied in a high ponytail, "Tadella!"
Tadella came over and asked the guests if there was anything she could do for them.
Paimon: "We are looking for Jade, Tadella, have you seen her?"
Tadella said that she saw Jade leaving the tribe's territory in the evening. "She must have gone to track down the traitor. She probably won't be back for a while."
Su stopped Tadella who was about to leave and handed her two small cakes.
"Tadella likes red fruit, right? We have this flavor! The Arugua flavor is also delicious. You can try them all."
Tadella hesitated for a moment and took it. "Thank you."
Before leaving, Paimon stared at the cake and reminded, "Be sure to eat it! Don't waste Sora's good craftsmanship and our kindness!"
Tadella ate two small cakes. "They are delicious. Thank you."
——*——*——
The next day, the traveling team saw Jade as soon as they left the tent.
Jade: "Sorry, I was in a hurry to track down the traitor yesterday and forgot to tell you."
Jade said that when she was interrogating the traitor Adelphi's men, she suddenly remembered that she had handed Benben to Adelphi, and rushed to look for the supplies that Adelphi had not had time to take away.
Paimon was worried, "What about BenBen it...?!"
Jade: "Perhaps the traitor fled in a hurry and didn't have time to take his goods and Ben Ben with him."
Jade found Benben, but Benben was still in a weak state due to lack of energy.
Jade got some information from the traitor's men and learned that the item that could help BenBen charge was a deal between Adelphi and the Fatui. So she simply disguised herself as Adelphi's men, attacked the Fatui who came to trade, and got three charging devices.
Sue: "Why don't you ask us for help?"
Paimon: "Yeah! Very dangerous Jade!"
Jade smiled and said, "I'm very strong! Don't worry about me." She didn't want Su to see her covered in blood.
Jade put the charging device and BenBen together, looking at a loss as to where to start. "How do I use this? BenBen doesn't seem to have any interface. I don't dare to disassemble it."
Lilupal, who had been quiet all the time, took the initiative to speak to Jade, and directed Jade to open a metal cover using a special method.
There was no need for Jade to do anything after that. Benben automatically activated and absorbed the energy from the charging device.
Although he had not fully recovered yet, Benben looked much more energetic and turned around several times with "beep-beep".
Jade hugged Ben Ben, who had regained his spirits, and didn't care about his prickly shape at all. "That's great! That's great..."
Paimon muttered quietly, "Jade is definitely treating Benben as a younger brother or sister."
But it’s better this way. Choosing Benben as Jade’s family member is much better than that Babel!
After sticking to Jade for a while, Benben greeted the traveler team, and finally floated a few steps towards the magic bottle and then stepped back, showing an attitude of closeness yet fear.
Lilupal chuckled, "You have a rare intelligence, lucky child."
Asarige came over and waved his hand, "The little caracal is indeed here with you."
Asarig came to find Jade and said that the mistress asked them to work together to clear out the dried-up waterways in the sand dunes to make it easier for Jade and the traveler team to go to the Eternal Oasis.
Jade: "Got it, did the mistress give you the task last night?"
Asarig was shocked.
Jade: "I came back at midnight yesterday."
She didn't go to meet them because she was afraid of disturbing the traveling group, and just then she saw Asarig coming out of the mistress's tent with a refreshed look on his face.
Asarig held his aching lower back, "Ahem! Yes! That's right, the mistress gave me an order yesterday."
Although she was reluctant, Jade still followed Asarig to get busy.
Lilupal tells the group of travelers that the Red King built a complex network of water pipes beneath the sand dunes of Mount Dama to maintain an eternal oasis of evergreen spring and to irrigate the lands of the mortal realms.
The center of this huge water conservancy project pipeline is also the base of the eternal oasis.
The Traveler Team realized that Babel was more anxious to see the Eternal Oasis than they were.
Just as I was thinking about Babel, Babel arrived.
She saluted the magic bottle first, "Lord Lilupal, once we get close to the base of the Eternal Oasis, I will use your power to guide the team."
She revealed: "In those abandoned waterways, there may be pieces of you...hidden."
Lilupal said nonchalantly, "Well, of course I know that...but how did you know that?"
"Oh, yes, Babel, how did you know that?" The team of travelers looked at the matriarch of the Tanit tribe.
The bad woman has been exposed. She talked about some forbidden area, but she just searched the ruins again and again.
Babel remained silent.
Lilupal laughed, "You could say he robbed a few nerdy scholars, or stole an ancient map from some merchant's camp... an old trick of the despicable desert people! I get it! Hahahaha!"
The next second, Zhen Ling stopped smiling and said, "Thank you for telling me this information. It allowed me to regain some of my old strength and memories. But I will keep an eye on you and your mistress."
Mistress, mistress, mistress?! Paimeng's face exploded, and he quickly covered Su's ears.
Kong thought of the scratches on Asarig's back when he left, and recalled that Jade had introduced Asarig as Babel's adopted son. He felt that he could no longer stay in this messy tribe!
