Compared to the flat third oasis, the terrain of the first oasis is more rugged.
A huge tree stands in the middle of the lush forest.
It looks like a tree, but when you get closer you will find that it is actually a rock covered with green plants.
The Bright Moon Palace of the Lord of Baisha Star is located on this rock.
As soon as I got off the airship, Barry, the fat steward of Jiaoyue Palace, came to greet me.
"Young Lord, Young Lord's Wife, you're finally here. Hurry... uh, this is..."
He looked blankly at the strange team in front of him.
I saw Pei Ji on the right and Chen Que on the left.
There was almost an entire wide welcoming road between the two of them.
Hall and three maids stood between the two of them, smiling awkwardly at him.
"Old Barry! Long time no see!"
Hall stepped forward, shook Barry's hand, and lowered his voice as he said, "There was a problem on the way, a little... conflict... You know the young lord's temper..."
Old Barry, who had served Pei Li all his life, understood instantly.
“Ahhh…”
He shook Hall's hand back.
"I understand, I understand!"
"Hey, the young lord still follows the lord more!"
The two old housekeepers, one fat, one thin, one short, one tall, with gray hair, sighed at the same time and said in unison: "It's not easy for you either!"
While the servants were explaining things, Pei Ji shamelessly approached Shen Que.
"Commander Shen, please stop being angry, okay?"
Shen Que glanced at him sideways.
"I'm not angry."
"Okay, I'm angry. I'm angry, okay? I'm not angry now. Can you pay attention to me?"
Pei Ji stretched out his elbow in a flattering manner as he spoke.
Seeing that Chen Que had no intention of joining him.
Pei Ji had no choice but to move forward again.
"Mom asked us to come a day in advance. Some guests must have arrived."
"I'll go meet them first. You wait for me in Zhileyuan. That's where I lived when I was a child. It should have been cleaned up."
Shen Que was slightly stunned: "Don't I have to go?"
Pei Ji smiled.
"No, I told mom you're not feeling well, so you don't need to go to today's meeting. Those who come early are regular customers, and I have experience."
He said and glanced at Shen Que.
The Omega stood tall, looking at him as well.
They changed into more formal clothes before disembarking.
The low-necked, off-shoulder robe is paired with a black tight lining, and decorative sashes hanging from both shoulders are adorned with pure gold ornaments.
A ruby pendant was placed right between Shen Que's eyebrows.
This is the traditional formal wear of Baishaxing.
Pei Ji liked Shen Que's outfit.
Although he was wearing a similar style, the way he wore it just felt different from Shen Que.
The commander originally had a noble temperament, and his cold and indifferent face matched with this outfit made him look like a god at first glance, holy and mysterious.
It cannot be desecrated.
With the mentality of seeing more and missing less, Pei Ji stared at Chen Que intently and said softly:
"Tomorrow's dinner will take a long time, so your task today is to get a good night's sleep."
After looking at each other for a while, Chen Que lowered his eyes and said "hmm" indifferently.
After a moment's pause, he raised his left hand and hooked it around Pei Ji's arm.
Pei Ji raised the corners of his mouth.
What's wrong with God?
The gods also want to save his Alpha in the human world.
However, the hands they had finally linked had to separate as soon as they entered the palace.
Pei Ji followed the butler Barry to the Lvmo Garden where the distinguished guests were, while Shen Que went to Zhile Garden to rest.
The Jiaoyue Palace is built against the rock, with gardens and courtyards of various sizes stacked up on top of it.
From a distance, it looks like many exquisite bird cages are placed on the huge tree canopy.
Shen Que followed the maid into the elevator.
As the view rises, the magnificent view of the entire First Oasis unfolds before your eyes.
Various tool-type machines fly in the air in an orderly manner, and the suspended tracks are like silver vines entwined in the forest, connecting steel buildings protruding from the treetops.
But Shen did know.
The prosperous scenes we see before our eyes are just the tip of the iceberg.
Something greater lies beneath this forest.
Beneath the thick, fertile soil, hidden by tangled tree roots, lies the most powerful underground water circulation system in the entire Ikaros system.
It is the crystallization of hundreds of years of technology and sweat of the desert people, and it is the lifeline that enables them to build three oases in such a harsh and rainy environment.
The sunlight filtered through the leaves, falling dappled upon Shen Que.
In a trance, he recalled the scene when the Queen met him alone the night before his departure.
Carolina's icy face showed deep concern and worry.
She gently held Chen Que's slender hand, as if speaking to Chen Que, or to herself:
"White Sand Planet is a planet with tenacious vitality."
"It was once extremely barren – water-scarce, desolate, and technologically backward. A planet like this is like a grain of sand in the universe; no one would care if it disappeared.
"But it survived and became what it is today."
"The people there are like their land."
“Passionate, outspoken, and full of vitality.”
"Hopefully, their vitality will give you a share as well."
"Live on, Shen Que."
"You are the Messiah's blade."
"You have to survive."
…
Shen Que slept until the moon was high in the sky.
Although I slept for a long time, for some reason, my body still felt very tired.
He slept restlessly and kept dreaming about a surging tide of insects drowning him and red alarms covering the huge screen.
