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

"Xiao Mo..." Ban Mu returned home after nightfall. He walked over and hugged Cheng Mo and rubbed her gently.

"Huh? You're back, go wash your hands and get ready for dinner!" Cheng Mo looked back at Ban Mu, then breathed a sigh of relief, but his hands did not stop moving, and he quickly fried a dish.

Ban Mu took the dish, put it on the table, and carefully served two bowls of rice. Then he sat quietly on the chair, staring at Cheng Mo opposite him. After hesitating for a long time, he finally mustered up the courage to ask: "Xiao Mo, the reason you don't want to hold a ceremony with me is because you think I'm not good-looking enough?"

Cheng Mo was slightly stunned after hearing this, then he raised his head, looked at Ban Mu with a firm gaze and asked back: "Why do you think so? Who told you this?! There must be something wrong with his aesthetic sense!"

Seeing Cheng Mo's angry look, Ban Mu felt a warm current in his heart. After thinking for a while, he looked at Cheng Mo seriously and asked, "Xiao Mo, I hope to be with you forever. Can we get married?"

Hearing this, Cheng Mo showed a forced smile: "Of course I also hope to be with you forever, but..."

Ban Mu suddenly held Cheng Mo's hand tightly, looked at him firmly and affectionately, and said seriously: "Xiao Mo, I went back to Tianwaitian today. Someone told me that the reason you didn't stay with me was because you were afraid that you couldn't become a god and worried about leaving me alone in this world, right?"

Cheng Mo looked at Ban Mu, slowly withdrew his hand, lowered his head and said nothing.

Seeing this, Banmu stood up, walked gently behind Cheng Mo, stretched out his arms and gently hugged him, and whispered: "Although I have lost my previous memories now, I still remember that when I first saw you, I thought that I wanted to be with you. You are my only partner in this life. If you can't become a god, then I don't want to continue to be a beast god. Let's just be an ordinary beastman couple, okay? If you die, I will accompany you."

"How can you say such a stupid thing..." Cheng Mo put his hand on Ban Mu's hand, still without looking back, but responded with a slightly hoarse voice: "You are the Beast God, shouldering the mission of protecting this world, you can't be so willful. And I don't like acts like suicide for love. My biggest wish is that you can live in peace and health..."

After listening to this, Ban Mu gently pushed Cheng Mo away. After a long silence, he asked disappointedly, "You are always so ruthless..."

Cheng Mo's body trembled slightly, but he did not turn back to look at Ban Mu.

"When you left me alone in Tianwaitian, did you ever think about whether I would be sad or scared? Do you know how confused I was when I opened my eyes and found that I had lost all my memories? You can't understand how boring and uninteresting life is in Tianwaitian, where I am the only one existing alone. Whenever I look at the fireworks in the lower world through the Tianchi, you don't know how much I envy you... However, what you care about is this world! What you care about is always your city! You have never really cared about me! Right?" Banmu's voice became hoarse and trembling at the end.

"I..." Cheng Mo turned his head sadly, but was met with Ban Mu's bloodshot eyes that were full of disappointment and pain.

"Have you ever... truly liked me?" Ban Mu didn't even dare to ask Cheng Mo directly whether she had ever loved him, because he was afraid of hearing an answer that didn't match his expectations.

"Of course! I love you!" Cheng Mo stood up and tried to reach out to hold Ban Mu's hand, but Ban Mu took a step back and stared at Cheng Mo coldly.

"I don't believe it..." After saying this, Banmu's figure disappeared from the spot in an instant like a phantom.

"Wait! Banmu!" Cheng Mo saw this and rushed forward, but still rushed to nothing. He looked blankly at the empty front, and couldn't help feeling lost and helpless: How could this happen?

After that inexplicable quarrel that day, Banmu never came back. Although Cheng Mo opened the door of his house every day waiting for his return, Banmu never showed up again.

As time went by, the problem of water shortage became more and more serious. Many tribes around them decided to migrate to find new water sources. However, the scale of Qiming City was too large to relocate the entire city, so they had no choice but to stay where they were.

Cheng Mo was extremely anxious. He sent a group of people out to explore for water sources, and at the same time led another group of people to dig wells nearby in an attempt to obtain more fresh water resources.

Fortunately, there is the ocean of the Land of God's Punishment near them. Although it is indeed a bit cumbersome to extract fresh water through distillation every day, at least they do not have to face the dilemma of water shortage like other tribes.

"Lord City Lord!" There was a knock on the door and Duoduo walked into the room.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Mo looked up at Duoduo, who gently placed an employee handbook on Cheng Mo's desk.

"Several high priests from the school have submitted their resignation applications. They plan to leave here with their tribes and find a new place to stay." Duoduo's tone revealed a hint of helplessness.

"Yes." Cheng Mo nodded and approved the document. Similar incidents have occurred frequently recently, and not all tribes have mastered the technology of distilling fresh water. Although Cheng Mo has taught them how to extract fresh water from seawater, some orcs still firmly believe that going to the Land of Divine Punishment to get water will anger the Beast God, and they resolutely refuse to drink the water there. Cheng Mo has scolded and even forced them to drink fresh water extracted from the seawater in the Land of Divine Punishment, but these orcs swear to die and refuse to obey.

"Is there any new progress from the drilling team?" Cheng Mo continued to ask.

"The first team has arrived at the God-forsaken Land, but has not sent back any valuable information." Duoduo answered truthfully.

"Okay." Cheng Mo waved his hand to signal Duoduo to leave.

After Duoduo left, Cheng Mo looked at the documents on the desk and felt powerless. What should he do to ensure that everyone could get water?
