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

"Lord City Lord, what do you plan to wear to attend the Courtship Day event tonight?" Duoduo, who was already slightly pregnant, chewed food and approached Cheng Mo to ask curiously.

Cheng Mo didn't raise his head, but replied calmly: "I don't plan to participate."

Duoduo was shocked. He widened his eyes and asked anxiously: "Ah? Why don't you participate?!"

Cheng Mo gently put down the charcoal pencil in her hand and explained: "Because I have someone I love, there is no need for me to participate in this event."

Duoduo was even more anxious now. If Cheng Mo didn't participate, how would they know who was the one in Cheng Mo's heart? Suddenly, he had an idea and persuaded: "But you are the city lord. If you are absent, it will be boring for everyone to play!"

Facing Duoduo's persuasion, Cheng Mo seemed very confused. He asked back: "This activity is for everyone to find a partner. What's the point of me, a city lord, being in it? If I join this activity, they will not be able to play freely, right?"

"How could that be! Those couples are all happily waiting for you to bless them!" Duoduo tried hard to persuade Cheng Mo to participate in this event.

However, Cheng Mo looked confused and said that he couldn't understand: "I'm not a beast god, so what use can my blessing have? Besides, I have so many things to do on weekdays that I really can't spare the time."

"How can it be useless!" Duoduo was really anxious. He hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth, picked up the official documents in front of Cheng Mo, and ran away, leaving behind this sentence: "Lord City Lord, just go and participate in this event with peace of mind! I will take care of all the rest of these chores for you!"

Seeing Duoduo walking further and further away, Cheng Mo quickly stood up and wanted to catch up, but was worried that this would make the other party run faster, so he could only shout loudly: "Okay, okay! I agree to attend, you stop! Don't run! Watch the road!"

The night of the courtship day was unusually noisy and bustling. A huge bonfire was burning in the central square of the city, illuminating the entire night sky red and bright. Cheng Mo, dressed in the same clothes as usual, stood quietly among the group of people dressed up and glamorous, looking out of place.

"City Lord!" A voice called out from a distance. It turned out that Duoduo was leading Dahei towards this side. Before they even got close, Duoduo couldn't wait to raise his hand to greet Cheng Mo.

At this time, Cheng Mo was concentrating on selecting delicious food. He looked up after hearing the call, and after seeing Duoduo, he smiled and waved, saying, "Here!"

Duoduo held Dahei tightly and struggled to pass through the crowded crowd. Dahei was extremely anxious. He tried his best to protect Duoduo from being knocked down by others, and kept apologizing to the people around him who were squeezed. After a difficult journey, the two finally arrived in front of Cheng Mo. Duoduo looked to the side and found that there were male orcs all around who were drooling over the single Cheng Mo, but they seemed to only dare to watch from a distance and did not dare to approach easily, let alone anyone who was lucky enough to stand next to Cheng Mo.

"City Lord... which one do you like?" Duoduo looked around curiously, but after looking around, he did not find anyone who seemed to meet Cheng Mo's standards for the person he likes.

"Hmm?" Cheng Mo looked at Duoduo doubtfully, then said softly, "The person I like...is not here anymore." There was a hint of sadness and melancholy in his words.

"Ah?" Duoduo opened his mouth in surprise and looked at Cheng Mo with confusion. Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask more questions, Dahei, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, quickly covered his mouth with his hand.

Duoduo was so angry that his eyes widened and he glared at Dahei, his heart full of dissatisfaction and doubts, not knowing why Dahei did this. Dahei lowered his head and explained to Cheng Mo apologetically: "City Lord... that... Duoduo is just simple-minded, you must not take it to heart..."

Cheng Mo smiled and comforted softly: "It's okay, I mean the person I like is not here, he is still alive."

Hearing this, Dahei suddenly realized that he had misunderstood Cheng Mo's meaning. He nodded quickly, then slowly released his hand that was covering Duoduo's mouth.

At the moment when Dahei let go, Duoduo suddenly raised his elbow and hit Dahei hard. Dahei grimaced in pain, but because he was afraid of attracting Cheng Mo's attention, he had to endure the pain and dared not make a sound.

"Humph!" Duoduo ignored Dahei who was in pain behind him, and looked at Cheng Mo thoughtfully, then said with a look of deep understanding: "City Lord, the person you like must be a burly, handsome and elegant male orc, right?"

After hearing what Duoduo said, Cheng Mo couldn't help but think of the figure who always followed him silently. He raised his lips slightly, lowered his head, and smiled as he recalled: "Yes, even if he stood there quietly and didn't say anything, his figure was scary to see."

Duoduo nodded in agreement, thinking that Hen Yi was the tallest orc in their city. If Cheng Mo didn't like Hen Yi, who else could he like? He was right!

"Wow!" Suddenly, there were bursts of exclamations from the crowd not far away.

"What's going on?" Duoduo stood on tiptoe to see what was happening. Dahei, who was standing beside him, was protecting Duoduo in panic, fearing that he would accidentally fall to the ground.

Cheng Mo was also very curious after hearing the sound, but he really didn't want to squeeze into the crowded crowd, so he stood there without moving.

At this time, Duoduo saw that Cheng Mo did not take any action, so he grabbed Dahei and said, "Lord City Lord, let Dahei and I go over to take a look." As soon as he finished speaking, Duoduo couldn't wait to take Dahei into the crowd, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Cheng Mo shook his head helplessly and turned around to continue choosing food. However, facing the dazzling array of food in front of him, he began to feel troubled - these foods looked very delicious, but the problem was that he couldn't eat them all.

Just when Cheng Mo was in a dilemma, "For you." A deep voice came into his ears.

Cheng Mo looked up in confusion and found that an orc wearing a sheep-head mask and a black robe had appeared beside him.

At this moment, the mysterious orc was handing over some fragrant roasted meat to Cheng Mo. Seeing that Cheng Mo didn't take it, the orc handed over the roasted meat in his hand.

"Thank you, but I don't need it." Cheng Mo smiled politely and declined the orc's kindness.
