Tang Wulin heaved an internal sigh of grief. She really was a troublesome little vixen! He really wanted to eat her up!

If it weren't for the fact that she was in a state of amnesia, and he still hadn't figured out the relations.h.i.+p between her and Na'er, he'd definitely... hehe!

After struggling out of Gu Yuena's octopus-like embrace with much effort, Tang Wulin heaved a long sigh and gulped down some cold water in a depressed manner to douse the flames in his heart.

However, Gu Yuena suddenly opened her eyes and s.h.i.+elded her face from the bright sunlight streaming in through the window. ”Where are you going? The sunlight is so bright; do we have any curtains?”

Tang Wulin gave her a gentle slap on the backside, and chuckled, ”Rise and s.h.i.+ne, it's time to get up! We have to keep going.” He definitely wasn't going to admit that he'd only done that because he's fallen in love with the supple sensation of her backside in his hand.

Gu Yuena grumbled something before throwing the blanket over her head.

Tang Wulin couldn't do anything, so he squirmed into the front seat before turning on the ignition of the battle vehicle. ”You can sleep a bit longer if you'd like; I'll keep driving. If you're hungry, you can have some dried rations; I put some in the back for you.”

”Hmm.” A m.u.f.fled response sounded from beneath the blanket.

Thus, Tang Wulin continued to drive through the desert, and in order to allow Gu Yuena to sleep in a more comfortable manner, he chose a relatively smooth route and also drove quite slowly.

This leg of the journey had been quite smooth thus far, but when night fell again on the second day, both of them were struck by a sense of loneliness. After all, they hadn't seen any other living being other than each other for two days.

Thankfully, the map indicated that they'd only have to travel for about half of the next day before they made it out of the desert and reached the Scorching Basin.

Tang Wulin closed the car door, then turned to Gu Yue, who had squatted down near the Tang Sect battle vehicle and was playing with the sand, and he asked, ”What are you doing, Gu Yue?”

”Nothing much. How far do you think I'll have to dig through the sand to reach water?” Gu Yuena asked in a curious voice.

Tang Wulin replied, ”We're deep in the desert, and the air is extremely dry here, so you'll most likely have to dig extremely deep before you find any water.”

They had chosen to stop on a tall sand dune. They'd be able to see further from this vantage point, and they could also avoid being buried under the s.h.i.+fting sand in the night.

Gu Yuena sat down onto the ground before waving at Tang Wulin. Tang Wulin strode over to her before also taking a seat, and she immediately rested her head against his chest in a very natural manner before closing her eyes and basking in the warmth of his embrace.

”Are you getting bored?” Tang Wulin asked.

Gu Yuena shook her head in response. ”Not at all! I really like this. There's only me and... Father here.”

Tang Wulin smiled, and said, ”That's true, we're the only ones here. The desert is very beautiful; it's just too bad that it's not suitable to be inhabited on a long-term basis.”

Gu Yuena closed her eyes and didn't say anything. Tang Wulin held her in his arms and gently combed his fingers through her soft and smooth silver hair. Every single strand of her hair was so beautiful; they were like glittering and translucent crystalline threads. He felt as if he could play with her hair for the entire night without growing bored.

Right at this moment, Gu Yuena's eyes suddenly sprang open, and she cast her gaze toward a certain direction.

Tang Wulin immediately reacted and pulled her to her feet. At the same time, his eyes narrowed slightly, and golden light flashed all over his entire body before he stomped his right foot onto the ground.

A burst of golden light traveled into the ground from the sole of his foot, and a dragon's roar erupted several dozens of meters away. A golden then abruptly burst out of the ground, sending sand flying in all directions.

Another low roar rang out as a ma.s.sive crustacean emerged from the ground, and it spun around before just barely managing to stabilize itself. It had clearly been frightened by Tang Wulin's attack, and it immediately fled in the opposite direction. Despite the fact that it was scurrying over the sand, its ma.s.sive body, which had a diameter of over two meters, was able to flee the scene extremely quickly, disappearing from view in the blink of an eye.
