Traveling through time and space to achieve a well-off life with your family

"Hello, City Lord!" Cheng Mo, who had just finished work and was about to go home, met many orcs along the way. Everyone greeted him very enthusiastically, and Cheng Mo smiled and nodded to them.

Before he had walked far, a familiar figure appeared in front of Cheng Mo - it turned out to be Ban Mu who came to take him home.

"Ban Mu, why did you get off work so early today?" Cheng Mo walked up to Ban Mu in surprise.

"Well, no rush, I'm here." Ban Mu nodded slightly, took the things in Cheng Mo's hand, and went home with him.

"By the way, is the baby still in class?" Cheng Mo turned around and asked, and then added, "Don't call him baby anymore now. He has grown up. If he hears us calling him like that, he might be unhappy."

Thinking of their common child, Banmu's expression softened a little. He nodded and said, "Yes, the child has grown up, so can he live out on his own?"

Cheng Mo looked at Ban Mu speechlessly, and pretended to be angry and said: "He is only eight years old! You want him to be separated?! Do you have any humanity?"

Ban Mu looked at Cheng Mo and said firmly with a cold face: "No."

Cheng Mo was so angry that he laughed. He reached out and pushed Ban Mu's shoulder hard, saying disdainfully: "Then go away! I don't want to play with inhuman guys!"

Ban Mu had a smile in his eyes, and he stood there with all his might. No matter how hard Cheng Mo tried, he couldn't push him away. Cheng Mo was so angry that he puffed up his cheeks and scolded, "You're so heavy! I won't play with you anymore! I want to go home and eat."

Banmu smiled, then continued walking forward and explained, "Lingqu is still in school. There are fewer students attending my classes recently, so it's relatively easier than before. That's why I can get off work early today to pick you up."

"There are fewer students? Why?" Cheng Mo looked at Ban Mu in confusion.

"I heard that many children in other tribes were taken away by wild beasts, so these people rushed back to help find the children." Ban Mu explained the reason to Cheng Mo.

"A beast took the child away?! When did this happen?" Cheng Mo looked at Ban Mu in shock.

Banmu thought for a moment and said, "The student who asked for leave today said that it probably happened in the past two days."

Cheng Mo's expression became very solemn. He frowned and asked worriedly, "What about those children?"

Banmu shook his head, his eyes also revealing a trace of worry. "I don't know." He replied, and seeing Cheng Mo still looking worried, he suggested: "Why don't we go to the tribe where the child was lost tomorrow on our day off to have a look."

Cheng Mo nodded and agreed. Although they provided teaching conditions for other tribes, some children in some tribes were unwilling to go to school, and they could not force them to do so. Therefore, many children stayed in their own tribes. Cheng Mo hoped that when they went there tomorrow, they would hear the news that the missing child had been found.

"Why is there only so little this time?!" The dark and damp cave was filled with a decaying smell. A man in black robe stood in the darkness. His face hidden in the shadows exuded a terrifying aura that made people dare not look directly at him. He stared angrily at the cubs lying on the ground in front of him, dying.

"Master, it's because we caught too many cubs before, which has aroused the vigilance of some tribes. Now the cubs are strictly protected, and very few cubs will be lured here again, so..." Banming lay on the cold ground, his body shaking uncontrollably, and explained tremblingly.

"Hmph!" The man in black robe snorted coldly and flicked his sleeves violently. Ban Ming, who was lying on the ground, flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, hit the hard wall heavily, and then slid down weakly.

"Cough cough..." Ban Ming coughed up a mouthful of blood with difficulty. He covered his chest and struggled to get up, but his body was out of control.

"Useless thing!" The man in black robe looked at Ban Ming with disgust and said indifferently: "I gave you the opportunity to be reborn, but it's not for you to enjoy! If you can't complete the task, what's the meaning of your existence?"

"Yes, master, you are right. I will definitely find a way to complete the task. Please give me another chance." Ban Ming endured the severe pain and lowered his head to admit his mistake.

"Forget it, get out!" The black-robed man seemed a little impatient and waved his hand to signal Ban Ming to leave. After receiving the order, Ban Ming crawled out of the cave as if he had been pardoned.

The cubs lying on the ground had long lost the strength to resist. They could only watch the black-robed man approaching step by step, their hearts filled with despair and helplessness. They really didn't want to die like this. Tears rolled down their cheeks. They opened their mouths in anger and cried silently. Suddenly, they felt dizzy, their eyes went black, and they completely lost consciousness...

"Huh?!" Banmu, who was lying on the bed, sat up alertly.

Cheng Mo, who was awakened, looked at Ban Mu with sleepy eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

Banmu shook his head, looked in one direction and said uncertainly: "I seem to... feel... a very desperate breath of death..."

Cheng Mo looked at Ban Mu in confusion, not understanding what he was talking about. After a while, Ban Mu shook his head, lay down, turned around, hugged Cheng Mo and comforted him, "Maybe it's my illusion, go to sleep."

Cheng Mo curled up in Ban Mu's arms sleepily and continued to sleep soundly, while Ban Mu lay on the bed with a frown on his face and a heavy heart, and stayed awake all night.

The next morning, the sun shone on Cheng Mo, and he stood at the door of his house in high spirits. Cheng Lingqu blinked his big eyes and looked up at his father and asked, "Dad, you said you would accompany me all day today, have you decided where we should go?"

Cheng Mo then remembered that he had promised to play with the child for a whole day last week. He said helplessly: "Baby... Lingqu, be good. Daddy has something to do today. How about you stay at home and play? Can you go to Kongfu's house for lunch? Yiyi at his home misses you!"

Cheng Lingqu curled her lips and said reluctantly, "No, Dad, you promised to accompany me for a whole day last week. I have been looking forward to it for a long time!"

Cheng Mo couldn't help but frown, rubbed his temples, and complained in his heart. Indeed, he had neglected his promise, but he wanted to go to other tribes to investigate the beasts this time. The danger of this operation was unknown, and it might not be appropriate to bring Cheng Lingqu with him.

Just when Cheng Mo was in a dilemma, Ban Mu had already packed his luggage. He walked over and said softly: "Xiao Mo, take Lingqu with you. I'll be watching you and will definitely protect you." Hearing this, the sad expression on Cheng Mo's face eased a little, but he still felt a little uneasy inside.
