Yu Manman leaned against the car window, watching the scene outside.
In this world, the ocean has submerged most of the land, and many landscapes have disappeared. This is one of the few desert landscapes left.
Yu Manman’s eyes were bright, and her short, chubby fingers pointed outside, "There’s a camel too!"
Seeing her daughter’s wide-eyed wonder and excitement, Yu Man chuckled.
The Fish Clan beastmen are naturally water-affiliated, and they can get delighted at the sight of water. They need to drink a certain amount daily and ideally soak in water from time to time to prevent dehydration discomfort and maintain a pleasant mood.
The Fish Clan instinctively avoids places that are too arid and steers clear of them.
For a young cub like Manman, whose reactions are more instinctual, not to feel strange at the sight of a dry desert is quite rare.
"Mom, can we go play in the sand?"
In her previous life, she had never been to a desert and was quite eager to experience walking barefoot in the sand!
In this life, Yu Manman could see the vast blue ocean daily. Perhaps the ocean had been too constant, or perhaps she was used to living inland in her past life, but Yu Manman really liked the land!
"Okay, okay!" Yu Man nodded with a smile, "When the time comes, I’ll take you for a camel ride, how about that?"
Atier drove the car to the hotel that Liang Siji had booked.
Around the Videng Hotel, desertification was not severe, and many desert-adapted plants like vast patches of poplar and saxaul trees were growing nearby.
Their car flew over the desert, clearly seeing the town of Zone 9 below, with vast stretches of greenery contrasting sharply with the surrounding desert!
"It’s a pity it’s almost September now, or else we could have seen the drought-tolerant jujube."
Atier loved nature, and his paintings often depicted natural landscapes.
He vividly remembered a cluster of drought-resistant jujube thriving in the vast desert, blooming with fluffy ball-like flowers.
The overwhelming vitality left him standing in awe for a long time.
However, he didn’t feel too disappointed, as there are still many magical plants in the desert he wanted to see...
"We’re almost there."
Atier followed the planned aerial route and began to descend.
A patch of lush green lawn and seven or eight desert roses, at least three meters tall, with pink flowers blooming, adorned the hotel entrance.
A small drone hovered above the lawn, watering it, and under the sunlight, a tiny rainbow could be seen.
Atier smoothly parked the car in the hotel garage, where several tall male beastmen immediately came to assist with the door, "Welcome..."
They maintained just the right smiles while unloading the luggage from the trunk.
"May I ask for your wife’s surname, and if there’s a reservation?"
"My wife’s surname is Yu, and we have booked suite 802 at the hotel."
The beastmen quickly checked on their Light Brain and soon nodded to lead the way, "Please ."
Atier picked up Manman directly and followed them inside.
Just as they entered the hotel lobby, Yu Man spotted someone familiar.
Guan Heng, walking briskly, lifted his eyes, surprised and delighted to see Yu Man.
"Man? What are you doing here?" Guan Heng paused.
"Completing a Purification Master’s mission."
Guan Heng instantly understood.
"Little President Guan..."
The assistant softly reminded.
"Got it." Guan Heng nodded, "Man, I have something to attend to, so I’ll be going..."
Yu Man nodded, "Alright."
Guan Heng hurriedly left.
Yu Manman tugged on Yu Man’s clothes and gestured to her, "Mommy..." Thıs text ıs hosted at noⅴelfire.net
"What’s up?" Yu Man turned, leaning close to Yu Manman.
Yu Manman whispered in her mother’s ear, "Mommy, that uncle might be in danger..."
Yu Man’s expression subtly changed, as she glanced back only to find Guan Heng already out of sight.
"Let’s go upstairs first."
They went to their suite and closed the door.
"Manman, what did you mean just now."
Just as Guan Heng left, the system’s voice slowly sounded.
[Ding! Hidden plot detected!]
[When you were five, Guan Heng, son of Guan Family’s head, Guan Lingxue, was schemed against in Lujiu District. Malicious people drugged him, and despite escaping with strong willpower, he was overwhelmed by many foes, knocked unconscious, and falsely accused of assaulting a female, leading to her miscarriage!
Guan Heng was exposed by numerous media outlets, unable to clear his name, and sentenced to life at the Undersea Prison. The Guan Family suffered severe blows, their reputation plummeting!]
[Now issuing a villain redemption task: Help Guan Heng clear his name! Revitalize the Guan Family!]
[Task difficulty: Nine stars!]
[Task reward: A Rejuvenation Pill! As long as there’s a breath of life left, it will surely bring you back!]
Yu Manman was shocked, what a powerful reward! A life-saving item!
"Mom!" Yu Manman turned and discreetly told her mom about it.
Yu Man’s eyes darkened slightly.
Yu Man opened her Light Brain, finding Guan Heng’s contact.
—"Don’t eat anything carelessly, keep more reliable people around you, and don’t get close to unfamiliar females."
In the car, Guan Heng laughed first upon seeing a message from Yu Man!
Yu Man had sent him a message!
Then, after opening Yu Man’s message, the smile at his lips slightly restrained, and the amusement in his eyes vanished.
He wasn’t naive enough to think Yu Man sent this out of affection or jealousy over him.
Guan Heng didn’t ask why, simply replying, "Thank you, I will be careful."
He then instructed his assistant to contact trustworthy individuals...
Seeing the reply, Yu Man pursed her lips.
The most she could do was to warn him.
Yu Man turned off the Light Brain, telling Manman, "I’ve warned him. Whether or not he can avoid it depends on fate."
Manman nodded, doing her best and leaving the rest to fate. Although young, she understood this principle well!
"Manman, this afternoon I need to go to the base to help some uncles purify their Spiritual Sea. Will you be good and stay nearby with your second father, okay?"
Yu Manman nodded, "Don’t worry, mommy, I’ll be good! I definitely won’t run around!"
"Good!" Yu Man took Manman for a stroll around the hotel and then had lunch.
After resting for a while, personnel from the base sent a military vehicle, and three beastman soldiers escorted her to the therapy base.
Most people inside had some issues with their Spiritual Sea.
Yu Man was an S-class Purification Master, but she was also pregnant, so her workload was significantly reduced during the pregnancy.
After resolving two beastmen with severe Spiritual Sea issues, Yu Man prepared to return to the hotel.
On the way back, Lu Cheng messaged her, "Man, the show you participated in has gone live again! I saw it trending!"
