Pet King - Chapter 1296

Ever since entering the desert, no one on the team, male or female, had taken a proper bath. At the beginning, people who showered every day were uncomfortable. They noticed their own smell and disliked it. Every night, they would be scratching themselves vigorously. However, as time passed, they got used to it. They reportedly could not smell themselves. It could only be said that humans had a strong sense of adaptability.

Still, at the sight of this clear lake, the impulse to take a bath could no longer be suppressed.

He had just undone two shirt buttons when he felt something sharp poke his calf.

Looking back, he saw a stunned Snowy Lionet. It was tugging at his pants with its claws. Luckily it was short—otherwise, it just might be tugging on something else that was more important.

“Hey! What are you planning to do, you stinky man?” It tried to make a fierce look, but it was too cute to make it convincely. If its expression could be put on the internet, many would be attracted to how adorable it looked.

“I am going to take a bath.” Zhang Zian spoke the truth.

Snowy Lionet’s eyes widened. “Hey! How can you go into the bath with the queen? You will pollute the water when you jump in! Find a place to die instead!”

Zhang Zian turned his head and looked. Fina was indeed standing by the lake and staring at it with an irritated look.

He wanted to take a bath. Fina also wanted to take a bath, more so than he did. She was no longer her former radiant self. She was covered in gray dust. As someone who loved cleanliness, she could not tolerate this. She had even rejected Snowy Lionet’s offer to lick her fur clean…

Fina used a front paw to push the water back and forth, as if observing the depth and clarity of it. She hesitated to get into the water.

“Wait a minute…”

Zhang Zian just wanted to remind Fina of something, but he was again interrupted by Snowy Lionet.

“Hey! Let me warn you. Only after Fina has bathed can you go in and wash your armpits. Do not interrupt me admiring beautiful cats emerging from the baths. Otherwise…” As a warning, Snowy Lionet showed more of its claws and bit him through his pants.

“No, I am not sure if this water is clean or not. Yet what I cannot further ascertain is if there is any danger beneath the surface. You wouldn’t want to let Fina encounter any dangerous animals after entering the water, would you?” he asked coolly.

In a completely strange environment, he was worried about the unknown danger in the water? The probability of a crocodile being in the lake was basically zero, but there could be a snake.

Any snake living in the desert would best not be provoked. They were lucky to find an oasis. If they got bitten for simply taking a bath, it wouldn’t be worth the find at all…

Fina and the other cat elfins were not afraid of snakes on land. In the water, however…

Snowy Lionet was undecided. It wanted to watch beautiful Fina emerge from the clear water, but it did not want her to face any unnecessary accidents while in the lake.

“What should I do? Hurry up and think of a way! Aren’t you usually full of crazy ideas?” Snowy Lionet stuck its claws in him once more.

“Don’t worry. We must do things in order. One at a time.”

Zhang Zian saw that it was distracted and took the chance to move abruptly away. Its claws were hurting increasingly while they were in contact with his skin.

Snowy Lionet wrinkled its nose and ran towards him as a way to threaten Zhang Zian. It then circled the lake, prohibiting any elfins from bathing before Fina did. It was especially wary of Richard.

Zhang Zian took out all the containers he could find in the car. Then he took out the water-purifying tablets and filters. He intended to fill whatever he could find with water. Then, taking into consideration the total additional weight they would add to the car, he intended to throw things away. This was, in his opinion, the way to go to get out of the desert.

As for the bones of the German soldier encountered on the first night, he had a GPS coordinate for them. However, now that he had been separated from the expedition team, there was no way he can go back and retrieve them. He hoped the Bedouins would do it.

Since there was no longer a shortage of water, he released Famous from the mobile phone. He was amazed by this oasis out in the middle of a barren desert.

Of course, Sihwa was next. Where there was water, she could be found.

To answer the question of what lurked beneath the surface of the water, she was the most suitable. In addition, she had previously boasted to her followers that she would carry out a livestream in the desert. She could fulfill her promise now.

Sihwa appeared out of thin air and fell into the lake, creating a large splash.

“Meow meow meow…” Snowy Lionet heard the splashes. It was highly paranoid. Had someone taken the opportunity to enter the lake when it wasn’t paying attention? It was just about to explode when, as he stood by the lake, he saw Sihwa.

Although Snowy Lionet was highly dissatisfied that its plan was not adhered to, it did not mention it. It made sense to send her into the water. Also, she was a big-breasted lady who was extremely attractive. It did not mind—after all, it was contented to live in this world where looks were all that mattered. No problem at all now!

“Oh! Where is this?” Sihwa emerged from the water, her long green hair swaying as she looked from side to side. The scene in front of her was like something out of an Arabian fairy tale. “Zhang Zian, you stingy man, did you sell me to an Arabian prince?”

“What the hell? Didn’t you ask me to bring you to an oasis so you could broadcast live?” Zhang Zian said. “And here you go. An oasis.”

“Oh…”

Sihwa had a look of disappointment on her face. Was she really destined to marry an Arabian prince? In addition, there were hundreds of Arabian princes around. Not every prince was tall, handsome, and rich. Only the prince who inherited the oil fields had money. The other princes were only princes in name. Yes, they still probably would have more money than the common man, but even if this was a prince with oil money, this life was not as good as she had imagined…

Besides, she was a mermaid. How could she dream of marrying human royalty? This was highly absurd!

“Where’s my mobile phone? Give me my mobile phone! I want to start broadcasting to my friends! Let them see a real oasis and let them envy and hate me!” Her tail flapped lazily in the lake while she stretched out her hand.

“Wait! Before you broadcast live, you should first look for any dangerous creatures in the water, like snakes,” Zhang Zian said. “If a snake appears in the live broadcast, it will definitely scare your female fans. You will lose fans if that happens.” He lied as he said this. He failed to mention that she was to check the water so that he could safely take a bath. She would be furious if she knew.

Sihwa, who was not aware of the situation, thought about what he’d said. He was right. Although she was not afraid of snakes herself, she had seen sea snakes in the sea. These were not cute animals suitable for a livestream.

“Okay then!”

Concerned about how her fans would react, she agreed. With a huge somersault, she dived in headfirst with her tail following. Soon, she was deep in the water.
