The Taklamakan Desert, located in the center of the Tarim Basin, is the largest desert in Dragon Country and ranks as the tenth largest desert in the world!

Few dare to cross the Taklamakan Desert because deadly black storms rage there throughout the year.

The nomadic people living on the fringes of the Taklamakan Desert often notice that individuals dressed unusually frequently come and go through the desert, and no one knows where they come from.

Only the top Sects in the Ancient Martial World know that hidden within the Taklamakan Desert lies a Secret Realm of their world, and that place is Flower Valley.

Without guidance from Flower Valley, very few can enter it, for the climate and terrain within the desert change every moment.

...

After dinner, Qin Yu and Su Ziyan arrived at the airport.

Su Ziyan retrieved boarding passes from the self-service kiosk, handing one to Qin Yu.

When Qin Yu took a look at the boarding pass, he was dumbfounded. What the hell? Flower Valley in the North Border? What mysterious place lies there? Wasn’t it obvious?

In a flash, Qin Yu guessed where Flower Valley was hidden!

"Honey, we’re not going into the desert, are we?"

"Bingo, one hundred percent. You’re really smart, hubby."

Qin Yu frowned and said, "If we’re going into the Taklamakan Desert, we must make thorough preparations. The black storms there are incredibly frightening!

Moreover, we must bring enough drinking water, and it would be best to rent two camels."

"Camels are indeed necessary; they are very sensitive to the desert weather and can help us avoid the black storms. However, we don’t need to worry about drinking water, for we of Flower Valley will not lack water even in the desert."

"I almost forgot, the Flower Clan’s Cultivation Technique makes plants and flowers grow fond of you. Once we’re in the desert, wifey, you’ll have to give me water to drink."

Qin Yu chuckled.

"Alright, it’s almost time. Let’s go line up for boarding."

Su Ziyan rolled her eyes at Qin Yu—the big bad guy always teasing her!

Having purchased business class seats, they quickly found their spots. Just as they sat down, they heard a loud voice from behind them.

"Boss Xu, I’m not bragging, but I’ve been through the Taklamakan Desert with my grandfather since I was nine. I’ve faced countless black storms. If there really are ancient relics, I’m sure I can lead you to them!"

Hearing the name of the Taklamakan Desert, Qin Yu and Su Ziyan were startled.

Turning around, they saw a man with a typical North Border face, accompanied by a young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

The young man was Xu Kun, a member of an exploration group.

A friend from the exploration group told Xu Kun that recently, many people of unknown identity had been entering and exiting the Taklamakan Desert, presumably searching for some ancient relic.

Xu Kun’s supplier, Bai Yi, happened to grow up near the desert, and the two hit it off immediately, deciding to venture into the Taklamakan Desert.

After Xu Kun mentioned his plans in the exploration group chat, seven or eight group members eagerly signed up, agreeing to meet in the North Border.

"It all depends on you now," Xu Kun said with a smile.

Hearing the conversation between the two men, Su Ziyan kindly warned them.

"Gentlemen, the Taklamakan Desert is no place for fun. Even if there are relics, they’re not something just anyone can find. I’d advise you not to recklessly venture in, lest you lose your lives."

Xu Kun and Bai Yi instinctively turned to look at Su Ziyan, and upon seeing her clearly, their eyes widened in astonishment!

Holy smokes, is there really such a beautiful woman in this world?

Since they were going into the desert, Su Ziyan was dressed in a black leather outfit.

The black leather added a touch of mystery and set off Su Ziyan’s fair skin, making it even more delicate.
