Chapter 593 Chapter 593:- The Graveyard of Sand Dunes
Deep in the middle of The Graveyard of Sand Dunes, a large desert ship was swiftly moving towards the southeast. As it sailed across the sandy terrain, it stirred up a cloud of sand behind it as it moved at a speed of around 90 kilometers per hour (about 56 miles per hour).
Onboard the ship, there were seven people in the captain's cabin. One man and six women were sitting together. Aditya, the man among them, was in charge of steering the ship and choosing which way to go. There wasn't much else for him to do.
Their goal was simple: keep heading southeast. They wanted to travel across the vast desert known as The Graveyard of Sand Dunes and eventually reach the central part of the Beast continent. Aditya had set the ship's course in the right direction. His main task now was to make sure the ship didn't run into any problems like rocks, big stones, mountains, canyons, or other similar obstacles.
The ship glided smoothly over the sand, much like a boat sail on the water. It was sturdy and well-built and was strong enough to be able to handle small stones and rough patches without any trouble. Inside the captain's cabin, everyone felt the steady and gentle motion of the ship as it made its way through the endless desert landscape, under the clear blue sky.
The day was calm and peaceful, yet in the second-biggest desert of the world, no day could truly be called peaceful. The intense heat during the day made it a tough place to be. This vast desert was also known for being a place where many lives were lost every year - beastkins, humans, and magical animals.
If Lara had been outside the captain's cabin, she would have likely fainted from the extreme heat. Inside the cabin, though, it was much cooler, thanks to a special device Aditya had made. Lara felt really grateful for her husband's thoughtfulness in making sure she was comfortable.
The captain's cabin, where they all were, was the biggest room on the desert ship. It was a comfortable space with a nice set of couches arranged in a U-shape. All the couches faced a large and clear glass window. This window offered a view of the desert outside. In the center of the couches, there was a small table where they had set various teacups, along with some light snacks and fruits.
The captain's cabin was quite spacious and was about four times the size of a regular room. In one corner of the room, there was a dining area with a table and a kitchen nearby. On the opposite side, there was a large and comfortable bed. The floor was covered with a beautiful, soft carpet that added a cozy feel to the room.
"Aditya, I'm really sleepy. I'm going to go back to my room and rest!!!" Riya's eyes drooped with tiredness.
"Okay!!!" Aditya replied understandingly.
'I guess I have been too brought on her last night.' Aditya thought as he stared at her back. Last night was a wild experience. He had been so excited that he kind of forgot that this was her first time.
Riya then left the room to get some much-needed sleep. She had been up all night exerting herself, and now the Goddess needed to rest. The ship was cruising smoothly through the desert, so it was a good time for her to recharge her energy for the upcoming night.
It wasn't like they had anything to do on this ship. It was better to get some sleep and recharge. She knew that they were going to do it tonight again. Now that she had lost her virginity, she could join other girls every single night.
Opposite Aditya, Alicia was busy reading some documents. As she read, her expression turned into a frown, and she seemed to be getting more and more worried. After a few seconds, she let out a sigh before rubbing her forehead. Alicia looked tired and a bit stressed.
Aditya noticed Alicia's troubled look. "What's the matter?" He asked after noticing that something was bothering her.
"It's nothing serious, just feeling a bit worn out!!!" Alicia replied while giving Aditya a pointed look.
She thought to herself, 'I'm sore because of someone's antics last night.' Like Riya, Alicia had also stayed up all night because of Aditya.
Seeing her expression, Aditya's mouth curved into a small smile. "Maybe you should rest for a while. There's no need to work at this moment!!!" He suggested kindly.
A small part of him felt proud seeing Julia and Riya so tired. He felt proud as a man that he was able to keep his women satisfied. But he also felt bad as he felt that he had taken things too far last night. 'From now on, I must put some restrains on myself.' Aditya thought to himself.
He thought their trip to the Beast continent was supposed to be like a holiday for everyone, yet here was Alicia, the Goddess of Wealth, still focused on her work.
"You can always do your work later!!!" He added while trying to persuade her to take a break.
Aditya knew that even if her family members told her to take a break, even then she wouldn't listen. Alicia was the very example of what it meant to be a workaholic.
Alicia considered his words for a moment. "I suppose you have a point!!!" She finally agreed.
Sigh!!!
With a sigh, Alicia gathered all her papers and carefully placed them into her magic storage ring. She then got up from her seat, ready to head to her bedroom to catch up on some much-needed rest.
"Do you want me to come along? I could accompany you." Aditya asked with a playful wink.
Alicia stood and shot a cold glare at Aditya. "There won't be any need for that." Alicia was also somewhat embarrassed. She had a small blush on her face remembering the things that they did last night.
'This jerk won't let me sleep if I let him in my room.' Alicia thought while blushing.
After glaring at him one more time, she furiously left the room leaving others smiling.
"She is cute!!!!" Aditya chuckled while staring at her back. With her heightened senses, she heard what he said.
Hearing his words, Alicia felt happier. As she left the room, she had a small smile on the corner of her lips.

Scene change____
Julia had just stepped out of her room when she encountered Sasha in the hallway. "Julia, can I talk to you for a moment?" Sasha asked.
"Of course! What's up, Sasha?" Julia responded.
She could tell something was off with Sasha, who looked really pale and weary. Sasha's appearance suggested she hadn't had a good night's sleep in quite some time. She seemed utterly drained and worn out.
"I was wondering..." Sasha started before pausing as if unsure how to continue.
Julia, noticing Sasha's hesitation and the forced smile on her face, asked with worry, "Is everything okay with you?"
"It's nothing!!!" Sasha replied while waving her hand as if to say that nothing was wrong.
"I haven't been able to sleep since last night. The sleeping pills I have just aren't helping. Do you think you could give me something stronger? I think a good sleep might help me feel better!!!" Sasha explained. She was hoping that some rest would help her recover and regain her energy.
She was too embarrassed to tell Julia about her problems. So she just asked for a sleeping pill that would help her fall asleep. She hoped that by the time she woke up, after body would stop reacting strangely.
Julia responded to Sasha's request with a smile, "You should have asked me sooner." She then reached into her storage ring and pulled out a small glass jar. Inside the jar was a bead-shaped pill that was a reddish color. The jar was closed tightly with a lid made of copper.
"Here, take this," Julia offered, handing the jar to Sasha.
"This pill will make you fall asleep right away, and you'll sleep for at least 12 hours. Nothing will be able to wake you up during that time," She explained while smiling. Julia was kind of bored when she made this pill. This pill has been inside her storage ring for months now.
She was even auctioning this pill. But now she felt that rather than auctioning this pill, it would be much better if Riya used this pill. This pill had no side effects. So it was a perfectly safe pill.
As Sasha took the pill, she couldn't help but wonder why Julia had such a powerful sleeping pill. It was strong enough to make someone as skilled as her, a Peak 5th-order cultivator, sleep for 12 hours straight. But since she had come asking for help, she decided not to question it. It wasn't really her place to ask.
"Thank you, Julia. I'll head back to my room now," Sasha said. She then turned and walked towards her bedroom, unaware that someone had been eavesdropping on their conversation.
Sasha sat on her bed. After removing the lid of the small glass jar, she was about to put the pill in her mouth when a hand suddenly grabbed her arm and stopped her from putting the pill in her mouth.
