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

After Cheng Mo finished the cooking competition, he hurried to the city lord's office. It turned out that due to the cooking competition, there was a large crowd at the city gate today, and the traffic was seriously congested, so many people could not enter the city. Cheng Mo went back to deal with this matter.

"City Lord, this was sent from the city gate." Duoduo placed an application on Cheng Mo's desk. Cheng Mo picked up the application and read it carefully. It stated that due to the large number of people in line, the orcs guarding the city were unable to cope with it, and requested additional manpower to help maintain order.

After Cheng Mo came up with a plan, he put down the application form in his hand, turned to look at Duoduo and asked, "Duoduo, everyone went to watch the game today, why didn't you go?"

Duoduo smiled shyly, gently stroking her belly, and replied, "There were too many people, and Dahei was worried about the safety of me and the baby, so he told me not to go to crowded places. He said he would come home and cook for me when he learned a new dish."

Cheng Mo stared at Duoduo's expression filled with happiness, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he responded softly: "Yes, it is true that we need to pay more attention." Then he lowered his head, thinking about something thoughtfully.

At this time, Duoduo stared at Cheng Mo's face, and suddenly leaned closer to ask curiously: "By the way... Lord City Lord, have you ever considered finding a partner?"

Cheng Mo's face instantly became stiff. After a long silence, he slowly pushed Duoduo's face away and replied calmly: "Actually, I have someone in my heart."

"Ah? Who is it?" After hearing Cheng Mo's words, Duoduo's curiosity became stronger. You know, he has been the city lord's assistant for a long time, but he has never seen the city lord get close to any male orc.

"Okay! I'll go to the city gate to maintain order, you stay here." Cheng Mo did not directly answer Duoduo's question, but stood up, turned and walked out the door.

"Hey! City Lord!" Duoduo quickly stretched out his hand, wanting to ask who the sweetheart Cheng Mo was talking about was. However, when he saw Cheng Mo's back gradually going away, he finally swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue. He silently looked in the direction where Cheng Mo left, muttering to himself: "Could it be... Hen Yi?! Yes, that's right, there are quite a few people in this city who like Hen Yi!"

At this moment, Xiong Bo, who had just walked in, noticed Duo Duo standing at the door and the thoughtful look on his face. So Xiong Bo asked curiously, "Duo Duo, what are you mumbling about there?"

"Ah! High Priest, I just asked the city lord if he had any plans to find a partner, and the city lord told me that he already has a lover!" Duoduo excitedly grabbed Xiong Bo, and couldn't wait to share the news.

"Oh? Really? Who is it?" As expected, Xiong Bo's interest was immediately piqued. He put down what he was holding and followed Duoduo to the side, ready to find out more about the gossip.

They were completely unaware that a dark shadow was standing quietly by the door, listening to the conversation between the two people in the room.

This figure was none other than the Beast God Banmu who had just found this place. He had originally come to see the city lord, but he did not even see the city lord. Instead, he unexpectedly heard some gossip about the city lord. Especially when he heard that the city lord seemed to have a crush on a man named Hen Yi, he could not help but feel an indescribable sadness in his heart.

At the same time, with the assistance of Cheng Mo at the city gate, the speed of the team entering the city was significantly accelerated.

Cheng Mo was busy all day and happened to run into Xiong Bai when he was dragging his exhausted body home.

"City Lord!" Xiong Bai came forward with enthusiasm and took the initiative to greet him.

"Ah? It's the high priest! Is there something you want to talk to me about?" Cheng Moqiang cheered up and responded with a smile.

"It's like this. After the chef competition is over, the annual courtship day will be here. I was thinking whether this year's courtship day could be held in a more grand manner?" After saying that, Xiong Bo handed the plan in his hand to Cheng Mo.

Cheng Mo reached out to take the plan, glanced through it, and his eyes stopped at the part about the orcs' mating day.

It turns out that the orcs' mating day does not have a fixed time point, and usually occurs around the beginning of summer. In the past, there was a lack of frequent communication and interaction between tribes, resulting in different mating days for each tribe. In addition, since the orcs did not attach much importance to this way of bonding, the sense of ritual was relatively weak. Therefore, there were almost no large-scale activities specially prepared for the mating day.

However, as time goes by, as the exchanges between tribes become closer and closer, the pressure of survival is gradually reduced, and people begin to pay more attention to the various rituals in life. Therefore, if a pair of orcs decide to get together, they will announce the news to their relatives and friends.

However, there is a special ritual in the City of Enlightenment - looking for the city lord to pray for blessings. As for who came up with this idea first, it is unknown. Whenever a pair of orcs are ready to form a couple, they will go to the city lord's office together and ask Cheng Mo to bless them.

"Well, this activity is quite interesting." Cheng Mo nodded slightly in approval and handed the plan in his hand back to the other party.

"I see a few young couples in the city showing signs of romance recently. This is a great opportunity! We need to find a way to get them to break down that barrier and get together as soon as possible. This way, our city will be more lively~" Xiong Bo said with a smile on his face, and then he approached Cheng Mo mysteriously and whispered, "Lord City Lord, if you have someone you like in your heart, don't hesitate! You must act as soon as possible!"

Cheng Mo looked at Xiong Bo with a puzzled look on his face. He really couldn't figure out how the other party could tell that he had a lover, but seeing that he was so enthusiastic in giving advice, he just took it as a kind reminder, so he smiled and nodded in response: "Yeah, okay, okay."

Feeling that he had successfully given Cheng Mo a hint, Xiong Bo smiled contentedly and turned away. Cheng Mo dragged his slightly tired body and pushed open the door and walked in. The house was still as quiet and deserted as usual. The two familiar figures had long disappeared and seemed to never come back again...
