Chapter 110: Chapter 110: An Unexpected Encounter in the Sahara Desert
It wasn’t anyone else who appeared, it was Liu Zicai, the eternal extras who had crossed paths with us several times.
I felt that even as an annoying fly, Liu Zicai was too persistent, making it all too theatrical that we would bump into him, even in the Sahara.
Looking at us, Liu Zicai was stunned too.
We had experienced all sorts of incredible events and had an acceptance capacity far beyond ordinary people. Encountering this persistent guy here only surprised us a bit, but Liu Zicai was completely dumbstruck.
He had no idea he would see us before getting out of the car!
He had just heard from the driver in front that there were two men and several beautiful girls by the roadside asking for help, so he ignored the advice of others and insisted on stopping to play the role of a knight in shining armor—but he hadn’t expected to run into us!
“Oh, what a coincidence!”
I quickly calmed down and greeted him as if nothing had happened.
“Um… Ah… Indeed, it is quite a coincidence…”
Liu Zicai regained his composure and replied unnaturally. Yet in his mind, he was cursing. Encountering us in the Sahara Desert, how could it be such a damn coincidence?
I could roughly guess what he was thinking, but still, I continued unfazed, “We got lost in the desert and are hoping to hitch a ride, would that be possible?”
Convenient for a few beautiful girls, of course! But for you and that guy next to you in the black sunglasses, not convenient at all, especially for you. More than inconvenient, I wish I could reverse over you!
Liu Zicai thought this as his gaze swept over us, and he bitterly added in his mind: I haven’t seen you for a few days, and yet there are some new faces again. I really don’t know what kind of good luck this guy has, to have one beautiful girl after another show up by his side.
Liu Zicai thought this, but of course, he didn’t say it.
Though he was hostile towards me, an inexplicably lucky poor sod, he knew it would be foolish to give Qianqian and the other beautiful girls a bad impression by treating me poorly now. Therefore, Liu Zicai suppressed the urge to kick me aside and drive off with the girls.
Moreover, there was Sandora.
Remember Sandora’s identity—the girl who used a loophole in causality to make herself a princess of the Human Kingdom. Stirring trouble in front of her could easily become a diplomatic incident. Liu Zicai might be uneducated, but he wasn’t dumb; he knew how to react at the moment.
“It’s an honor to be able to help a few ladies,” Liu Zicai casually ignored me and pretentiously said to Qianqian and the others, “It seems you must have suffered quite a bit in this desert.”
That’s how you do it!
Liu Zicai felt he was really too clever!
Although I’m clueless about how these beautiful girls and this loser managed to appear here, it’s easy to guess that they must have suffered a lot following him in the desolate Great Desert. By showing off a little and treating these pretty girls well, while constantly reminding them of their hardships in the desert, soon…
As Liu Zicai thought this, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl up. He could almost envision a scene where some clueless poor guy was kicked aside, and he was surrounded and pampered by several beautiful girls…
Lost in his fantasies, Liu Zicai had completely failed to notice that the clothes of the people before him were clean and neat, devoid of any signs of travel through sand or wind.
Even though the car looked really luxurious from the outside, entering it still made me sigh, “This is such a waste!”
Is it just a car? Was there really a need to decorate it in a European palace style?
Seeing our, especially the girls’, astonished expressions, Liu Zicai couldn’t help feeling proud. He had spent a fortune customizing this car, driven solely by his pursuit of the Ding Family’s young lady. If it weren’t for his extravagant nature, he wouldn’t have bled money . And speaking of which, Ding Ling’s hobbies were really strange — suddenly fancying a trip to the Sahara, demanding him to drive to this forsaken place yesterday. If not for the Ding Family’s status, he wouldn’t have bothered with such a capricious girl, no matter how pretty.
However, he then thought that it was thanks to following that capricious girl’s suggestion that he had the chance to encounter such angelic girls. Still, he had to be cautious, and must not get too close to Xu Qianqian, or Ding Ling’s brother would find out, and that would be big trouble.
Little did Liu Zicai know that we couldn’t possibly understand the chaotic jumble of thoughts in his mind, but through our Spiritual Connection, Sandora whispered to me, “This human’s brain waves were intensely active just now. I wonder what he was thinking… Really, human minds are too peculiar; I can’t read a single thought…”
“It definitely wasn’t anything good,” I responded. From the moment he boarded the car, Liu Zicai’s gaze kept sweeping over the girls. Although he only dared to steal a few glances, it was enough to annoy me, especially since he even spared no one — not even the newly budding Pandora and the two ‘mother and daughter’ Bubbles, who looked no older than ten and were preoccupied with eating candy. Those three Loli are my treasures! What are you looking so intently for!
Just then, Sandora’s voice suddenly resonated in my mind, “He only looked a couple of times, don’t you think you’re overreacting a tad? Also, Bubbles isn’t exactly under your command, right?”
Crap, my thoughts were too intense, and Sandora, who’s always maintaining telepathy with me, picked them up…
“They’re all my treasures; how can I just let someone stare at them!” without thinking it through, I blurted out through our Spiritual Connection — darn, it was a broadcast!
When we were in the Otherworld, to make communication easier among us, we used Pandora as a relay to temporarily establish a Mind Communication network. Later, the girls found this mode of communication so useful that, through the efforts of our super-scientist Bubbles, this network became permanently fixed. Now, even the Earthlings like Qianqian possessed the Mind Communication ability.
So, my unfiltered comment got broadcasted just like that…
Apart from Sicaro, who immediately recognized it as junk and automatically filtered my message from his mind, the reactions of the girls varied. Qianqian looked blissfully happy, Sandora showed her usual cheerful smile in front of me, my sister gazed at me more tenderly, her eyes holding a hint of helpless mirth, Asida and Asidora were caught off-guard and then silently nodded at each other as if agreeing they were ostriches. Pandora’s cheeks flushed a slight pink, her expression unchanged, yet the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, indicating she was quite happy. Little Bubbles didn’t comprehend my words at all and just continued sucking her lollipop. Bubbles, busy playing her gaming console, haphazardly stroked her daughter’s head, oblivious to any external stimuli. Alaya was sleeping so soundly in my Spirit Sea that drool streamed down, completely unaware of what was happening. Lin Xue… I didn’t catch her reaction in time since she swiftly punched me — the only certainty is that she wasn’t truly mad, otherwise what I’d have to face wouldn’t be a punch but rather a sniper bullet…
Here I was, feeling extraordinarily awkward, while Liu Zicai curiously watched our atmosphere suddenly and inexplicably shift, then smugly assumed it was because that poor guy felt out of place in such a high-end setting, and the beautiful girls were comparing whether it was better to stay by this pauper surnamed Chen or by his side.
If only we knew the Mind Reading Technique, we’d definitely be amazed by Liu Zicai’s robust imagination.
“How did you ladies end up here? The Great Desert is hardly a good place for a trip!”
Just when we were about to boringly yawn and slump on the couch, Liu Zicai suddenly spoke up.
