Princess Sunny's castle is located in the Sugar Desert, and this chocolate castle, imbued with love, has become a beautiful sight in the Kingdom of Mandolin.

Standing in the port town of Mandolin, you can see a small black dot standing alone in the desert; that is the Chocolate Castle.

"The princess doesn't want to eat new food, she doesn't want to eat old food, she doesn't want to eat boiled food, and she doesn't want to eat fried food. Who can solve this riddle?"

"Look, another new recruit is planning an adventure!"

"I bet she'll be kicked out by the king within three days—"

I'll bet two days!

Upon learning that someone else was going to volunteer to treat the princess, the mercenaries in the inn couldn't help but sigh, and some even made bets.

"Ignore them, Miss Milu."

Naya thoughtfully prepared food for Xu Milu for the journey and comforted her:

"I believe Miss Milu is a wonderful chef, and I'm sure you'll achieve your goal!"

Xu Milu smiled and said goodbye to Naya, promising to return soon: "Don't worry, Naya, I will definitely be back before my cake shop melts."

The cake shop was only ten square meters. Even with Xu Milu's amazing appetite, she had only managed to eat less than a quarter of it in the past three days. She couldn't put it into the system slot in front of everyone, so she had to set off first.

The Yellow Sugar Desert stretches as far as the eye can see, and travelers can easily get lost without a guide. Xu Milu spent a platinum coin to rent a snail-like beast as her means of transportation.

[Snail Camel Beast: A camel-like beast with a huge, hard shell on its back. It has extremely high endurance and can withstand extreme weather conditions. No capture level required.]

This strange beast looks just like a snail, with a soft, long neck under its hard shell. There is a half-open protrusion on its back that can accommodate three or four people. When the beast moves forward, the sandstorms on the way are blocked by the raised shell, making it an excellent means of transportation.

To reach the castle, they would have to travel for about seven days through the Yellow Sugar Desert. Xu Milu prepared water, fed the camel, and set off with Achou.

...

...

When you first enter the desert, you don't really feel anything. Under the azure sky is an endless expanse of yellow desert. When the wind blows across the sea of ​​sand, countless tiny brown sugar particles are swept up and fly around, "pitter-pattering" as they hit snail shells.

The desert was extremely barren. The only green thing to be seen was the giant cactus growing in the desert, which was also the only place for travelers to replenish their water.

The two suns generously radiated light and heat, making the entire desert as sweltering as a boiling steamer. The air was incredibly dry, and every time you opened your mouth, it was filled with brown sugar-coated sand.

The camel moved steadily, seemingly accustomed to such high temperatures.

At first, Xu Milu, sitting in the snail shell, was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery with great interest, but as the surrounding scenery became unchanging, she gradually felt a bit bored.

"Gah—"

Ah Chou, who was lying on her knees, seemed to be a little irritated by the scorching sun. He couldn't help but raise his head and nuzzle Xu Milu's hand.

"I'm bored too, how about we make some candied hawthorns?"

Xu Milu vanished in a flash, disappearing for a full ten minutes. When she reappeared, she was carrying a pile of things.

During the Lunar New Year, every household has plenty of fruit. Xu Milu even found a bunch of bamboo skewers and simply sat cross-legged inside a snail shell to skewer the fruit.

The reddish-pink strawberries have their stems removed and are skewered one by one onto bamboo skewers. Fresh hawthorns are washed, the seeds are removed with a knife, and they are skewered in order of size from smallest to largest. Ping-pong grapes do not need to be peeled and are simply skewered together.

Ah Chou was already impatient and reached out to bite into the hawthorn next to Xu Milu, but the sourness made him shrink back into his shell and refuse to come out for a long time.

"You're tempted, but you can't eat it now. You have to wait until tonight."

Xu Milu couldn't help but chuckle.

...

...

The sun was about to set, and the temperature in the desert was gradually dropping. The camel stopped at the foot of a giant immortal and refused to go any further.

Xu Milu jumped out of the camel carcass, still wearing the fire fox skin.

The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is extreme; it can be hot during the day but freezing cold at night.

The huge camel shell acts like a fortress, blocking the passing sandstorms, while the giant cactus bushes provide a water source, making this a natural campsite.

Before it got completely dark, Xu Milu found some dry branches and started a fire. When night fell, only this one fire flickered in the entire desert, creating an indescribable sense of loneliness.

Xu Milu followed Naya's example and cut the vines growing on the cactus. Immediately, cactus juice gushed out, and the camel-like beast poked its head out, slowly biting and drinking it in large gulps.

After drinking its fill, the camel slowly chewed on the tender leaves of the cactus, not caring at all about the thorns on them.

[Giant Cactus: Non-toxic, the entire plant can be eaten raw; the vines and roots store a large amount of water; no capture requirement.]

There are very few animals to be seen in this desert, and even if a few small animals occasionally flash by, they are all species that cannot be eaten.

Xu Milu simply picked a tender cactus leaf and chopped it off. The leaf broke off instantly, and a pale white sap immediately seeped out from the break.

"If it can make desserts, it can also make dishes, right?"

Xu Milu muttered to herself, then carefully used a knife to peel off the outer skin, and then carefully rubbed the surface with brown sugar granules to remove the sticky substance.

Once you think it's almost done, rinse off the sugar granules with water, revealing a large, translucent, green, jelly-like substance.

Xu Milu took a bite, and the taste was unexpectedly refreshing, with a hint of herbal aroma, somewhat like eating aloe vera.
