contained only a few plants and nothing
particular remarkable so Gian guided
Dudu toward another maze exploring this
maze in a similar fashion she deduced
that by traversing it in reverse she
might find her way out yet she did not
neglect to document the new route upon
successfully navigating through the Maze
and standing before a metallic door she
felt her initial thoughts confirm Gian
produced a shimmering golden key and
began searching for a place to insert it
into the metallic door yes the golden
key was inserted and turned a click res
resonated and the metallic door swung
open a beam of light poured through the
crevice of the door and giang gently
pushed it open blindingly bright light
flooding her vision she cradled dooo In
Her Arms shielding her eyes with her
right hand when the light subsided GI
anji beheld a magnificently opulent room
before her everything in sight was
adorned in gold golden chairs golden
chandeliers golden furniture and golden
decorations interspersed with a plethora
of colorful gemstones I in the distance
she even spied a towering pile of gold
coins a display of Wealth Beyond
imagination this Splendor reminded her
of a childhood fairy tale Alibaba and
the 40 thieves the Grandeur of the room
conjured images reminiscent of the
scenes she envisioned while reading that
story Gian entered the room gazing at
the lavish surroundings with her mouth
Agape dooo seizing the moment leaped
from gian's arms and began to explore
the area sniffing around curiously
shortly thereafter a tall muscular man
darkskinned and standing nearly 2 m tall
emerged from behind the pile of coins
his prominent nose and exotic features
Were Striking and he wore minimal
clothing only a pair of trousers and
several white ribbons the most peculiar
aspect was the blindfold that obscured
his eyes Gian g a young woman in her
early 20s felt a rush of shyness at the
sight wasn't wahab supposed to say that
the god of the desert is an old man why
is he such a muscular hunk the man
smiled as he approached his golden chair
sitting down with ease congratulations
on being the first to successfully
complete the trial I never expected it
would be a little girl like you although
the Man's eyes were covered his gaze
seemed undeterred as he appraised Gian
from head to toad Gian G scanned the man
and discovered Desert god o Yin ruler of
the entire desert meeting his gaze may
result in petrification please exercise
caution the desert God had a fondness
for cats and enjoyed Gourmet Cuisine
realizing the potential Peril of locking
eyes with him GI anji instinctively
lowered her head anxious to avoid direct
contact yet feeling his gaze upon her
made her acutely uncomfortable what did
the Desert god mean by his words could
it be that those who passed the trial
could become his wife he certainly did
not seem to have any interest in her in
no way I'm only 23 and not ready for
marriage yet especially not after just
meeting him Gian G mentally rehearsed an
elaborate rection speech just then the
man spoke again now then what reward do
you desire money power or perhaps a
handsome man giangi hesitated unsure of
what rewards might be available while
money was undoubtedly desirable she had
not endured such trials merely for
financial gain what she truly sought was
something that would Empower her or
enhance her quality of life power held
little value for her as she was the only
inhabitant of that small island what use
would it serve as for handsome men she
had never been particularly interested
in male Beauty with her head bowed Gian
pondered deeply about what she truly
wanted while the Desert god propped his
chin on his hand watching her intently
after what felt like an eternity of
Silence dooo having explored the golden
room emerged from a pile of shimmering

upon seeing Dudu and with a wave of his
