Chapter 1172: A Secret Place

With the surging tide, Sihwa felt a great force coming from behind that pushed her to the huge rock.
She was not afraid of the sea. She was more familiar with water than anyone else. She didn’t need to think at all. She flicked her tail instinctively, producing a slightly smaller reaction than the power of the waves, and controlled her speed to slide toward the entrance of the huge rock and towards the sea.
Nevertheless, she had to hold up the hand holding her phone tightly, to keep the phone above the sea surface. She had to be careful to make sure that it was not swept away by the fierce waves—if that happened, the stingy Zhang Zian would never give her a new mobile phone.
Although the mobile phone had a certain waterproof capability, this was sea water and not the fresh water in the bathtub. She seemed to have heard someone say that the sea water was corrosive, and she wanted to take as few risks as possible.
This was her first time broadcasting outdoors. It was hard for her not to be excited.
She started up the live broadcast room, smugly smiled at the camera, and said, “Haha! I, Sihwa, will keep my promise. You guys that stay at home all day and do not go out much—who can tell where I am now?”
She had just started broadcasting. There were only a few people in the broadcast room, but the many fans that had heard the news quickly entered the broadcast room. The afternoon in Egypt was the popular and golden hour during China’s evening time, and the people who liked to stroll around randomly in the live broadcasting app were usually online.
The fans knew that she’d gone to Egypt, but they found it amusing to tease her. They kept deliberately saying that she was tricking them and that the truth was that she’d just changed the bathtub. They kept asking her to show evidence of her being in Egypt.
Additionally, the fans were actually also very curious. They had never seen Sihwa leave that humble bathroom and that old bathtub. Sihwa’s natural way of talking was like a child that had come out of a deep mountain or old forest. With her breathtaking appearance, they guessed her identity in their hearts. Some even suggested calling the police, saying that she must have been hidden by a wealthy Chinese person from childhood as a s*x slave…
When Sihwa made the announcement that she would be broadcasting live outdoors, it aroused their interest, as at last, they could see the parts under her neck and shoulders, and the rumor of her being a s*x slave… It would also be destroyed on its own.
So a lot of people were awaiting this live broadcast.
It was really outdoors!
As soon as the live broadcasting started, a row of waves surged in, making the watchers instinctively move backwards from behind their screens.
The sky was connected to the sea, the sea was connected to the sky, and the sea and the sky were all blue. Only the spray of foam and Sihwa’s skin were as white as snow.
Unfortunately, everything under Sihwa’s neck and shoulders was still submerged underwater, and because sometimes the waves were too big, even her face was half submerged in the water.
“Sihwa, are you crazy? You’re in the water even with such big waves?”
“Quickly get back on land! You’ll be washed away by the water!”
“You’re using your life to broadcast!”
“I’ll give you gifts now! Hurry and go back to land!”
The netizens could not be bothered to tease her as usual and were instead sending bullet screens to urge her to go ashore. The turbulent waves caused even them, who were behind the screen, to be frightened.
From their point of view, her soft and weak body could be washed away by the next wave anytime.
Fans with high accounts were considered the elders of live broadcasting platforms. They had seen live broadcasters seek death in various ways, such as exploring ghost houses, cemeteries, field explorations, and so on. Compared with Sihwa’s situation at this time, those so-called explorations were like playing house in kindergarten.
It was the first time they had seen people broadcast live by the seaside like this. They had watched the huge waves coming in succession from a near-first-person perspective. Each time, the camera’s view was shaken violently. The surging tide sounded like thousands of troops galloping on the battlefield, and the strong sensory impact was like being immersed in the situation themselves.
For such a precious experience, wealthy netizens were not stingy in rewarding gifts, and even fans who never spent money were infected. They had recharged their money and become generous and passionate.
The platform-wide news caused by the continuous reward of high value gifts attracted more of an audience. Every newcomer was immediately captured by the broadcast and asked others what was broadcasting live.
Sihwa was totally unconcerned as she wiped seawater off her face and raised her voice in order to overwhelm the tide. “Let me tell you all, I’m now in the Egyptian Mers… Cleopatra’s bathroom in the Port of Mersa Matula! I never lie. I always follow through! Now you all believe me, right?”
“What Mersa Matula? I’ve only heard of the Port of Mersa Matruh before!”
Despite the fact that they were worried about her safety, the netizens did not forget to insult her.
“I just said Port of Mersa Matruh! You just misheard it!” Sihwa defended and changed the subject. “Did you see this huge rock? This is the bathroom of Cleopatra! You haven’t been here, have you? You haven’t seen it before, right? Ahaha! Thanks to me, you can open your eyes and broaden your worldview, you bunch of bumpkins!”
There was a netizen who said, “It seems like it’s really Cleopatra’s Bathroom! I went there the year before in October, but the water was a bit cold then, so I did not go into the water or walk into the cave.”
Sihwa was even happier and raised her phone to turn a half circle, letting them see how the big stone looked as a whole. She said, “I’m going in now! If it were not for me, you would never be able to see the place where Cleopatra bathed in the past!”
Netizens were extremely worried at first, and while they were still very worried, they noticed that Sihwa, although seemingly in danger, was actually very stable. Despite the impact of the wind and waves, she could always keep her body stable, and even if she spoke loudly in the waves, she did not choke on the water.
Her ability to swim in the water was that good?
Netizens couldn’t believe it, but they had to believe it because there was no other explanation.
Sihwa held up her mobile phone with one hand and supported herself against the rock wall with the other hand. She entered the cave under the push of the waves.
The light suddenly darkened.
“Be careful! If you can’t do it, come out!”
“We trust you! Don’t push yourself!”
Netizens’ hearts tightened again in fear that there was some danger in the cave, but Sihwa did not see it.
After following along the zigzag path a few steps, she came to the center of the giant rock and saw a wonderful sight—the place which was supposed to be a dark cave actually had bright sunshine penetrating from the top of the cave, making the center of the cave bright while the area around it was dark, like a stage illuminated by a spotlight.
Sihwa swam forward a bit and bathed in the sunlight again. She looked up and saw that there was a hole at the top of the huge rock that could not be seen from outside.
Obstructed by the rock wall, the strength of the water in the cave decreased. The water in the cave moved very slowly, and the whirring sea wind passed through the cave, gushing out from the entrance of the cave to the coast.
Because of the twists and turns of the path and the darkness in the cave, the sea could be seen from the cave, but the inside of the cave could not be seen from the outside. It was a well-hidden place.
When they saw this scene, whether it was Sihwa or the netizens, an idea arose in their hearts—perhaps the Queen of Egypt really had once bathed here.
