Cheng Mo is an ordinary person, but he lost his parents at a young age and became a lonely orphan. Fortunately, on a stormy night, a kind grandfather found and took him in.
Since then, Cheng Mo has thrived under the care of his grandfather. Although his grandfather is not a wealthy family, he still tries his best to make Cheng Mo live a happy life. His grandfather took out all his savings to let Cheng Mo go to school like children from ordinary families. Fortunately, Cheng Mo is diligent and studious, and has a bright talent. With excellent grades, he won a scholarship and earned living expenses by working part-time, and finally successfully completed college.
However, just as he was about to enter the society and realize his ambitions, the bad news suddenly came - his grandfather passed away. The grief-stricken Cheng Mo had to put everything aside and return to his hometown to take care of his grandfather's funeral, and inherited the dilapidated hut and the one-third acre of thin land.
In the end, Cheng Mo, who had not yet recovered from his grief, unexpectedly traveled to the orc world. In that world, he met many people and, more importantly, had his own family, which made him very satisfied.
But what shocked him even more was that now in this strange country, he saw someone who looked exactly like his grandfather, and the other person was also his grandfather! At this moment, Cheng Mo's heart was filled with complex emotions, joy and fear intertwined. What was going on? Was this just a dream?
Fortunately, Banmu was always by his side, constantly reminding him that everything that had happened was real. This was not the original orc world, but a mysterious other world. They only came here to gain experience and could only stay for ten years. After the expiration of ten years, they would have to return to the orc world and continue to devote themselves to the infrastructure construction of the orc world.
"Xiao Mo, I will always be with you. Even if you let me go, I won't leave." Ban Mu said while hugging Cheng Mo tightly.
Cheng Mo took a deep breath and nodded silently, and the two of them quietly enjoyed the peace of the moment.

The next long period of time seemed exceptionally peaceful, if you ignored the fact that General Cheng would go looking for trouble with Banmu every now and then.
On this day, General Cheng was practicing swordplay with his bare chest, sweating profusely, when he suddenly saw Banmu and Cheng Mo walking towards him side by side. When he saw Banmu put his hand on Cheng Mo's head, General Cheng was immediately furious, and without saying a word, he shouted at Banmu: "Hey! Brat, do you dare to fight with me!"
Facing the sudden provocation from General Cheng, Banmu first glanced at him, then turned his gaze to Cheng Mo beside him. Cheng Mo sighed helplessly and said, "Alas, it has started again! Go quickly!" After getting the consent, Banmu nodded, picked up a knife and stepped onto the arena, ready to meet the challenge.
At this time, the people around had already become accustomed to what was happening before their eyes, and they all stepped back tacitly to give them enough space to move their hands and feet.
Two people stood facing each other on the stage, each holding a sharp knife in their hands. The sunlight shone on the blade, reflecting a cold light.
General Cheng is tall and mighty, his eyes are firm and steady, while Ban Mu is agile and nimble.
They stared at each other for a while, then suddenly rushed towards each other, with the flash of swords and the sound of metal colliding. The two men's steps were flexible and varied, sometimes advancing and retreating, sometimes spinning and moving. Their sword skills were skillful, and every swing of the sword was a perfect combination of strength and skill.
Banmu suddenly exerted his strength, and his sword slashed at General Cheng like a gust of wind. General Cheng dodged to the side and swung his sword back at the same time. Their movements were as smooth as flowing water, attacking and defending each other, and it was difficult to tell who would win for a while.
The battle between the two was tense and fierce. The air around them seemed to be shaken by their momentum. Sweat dripped from their foreheads, but there was only concentration on the battle in their eyes.
As time went by, the battle entered a white-hot stage.
Banmu and General Cheng's breathing also began to become rapid, but their swordsmanship became more and more exquisite. In the flash of swords and shadows, the figures of the two became more and more erratic. Only a sharp sound was heard, and the sword in Banmu's hand was cut in half, and the sword in General Cheng's hand was cut into only the handle.
Everyone was silent for a long time. The scene was completely silent, as if time had stopped. Finally, a thunderous cheer broke out from the crowd: "Great! Awesome!"
Banmu stared at the dagger in his hand quietly, the blade flashing with cold light, and the blades scattered on the ground witnessed the thrilling scene just now. He looked at General Cheng in a daze, with a hint of doubt and uneasiness in his eyes.
General Cheng's face was tense, and his lips trembled a few times, but finally turned into a low cold snort: "You've made rapid progress! But you must not be proud and complacent because of this!" After saying that, he turned around and walked down the stairs, but seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly turned back and warned sternly: "You must work harder to practice on weekdays, and you must not always disturb Xiaomo!"
At this moment, Cheng Mo, who was concentrating on practicing archery, couldn't help but curl his lips helplessly when he heard this. General Cheng had already walked quickly to his side, and instantly put on a kind and flattering smile on his face, and asked with concern: "Xiao Mo, are you tired? Why don't you take a rest first?"
Cheng Mo shook his head, indicating that he did not feel tired, and explained: "Grandpa, I just came here not long ago, and I haven't started practicing yet..."
On the other hand, when Ban Mu learned that he did not need to compensate for the damaged weapons, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. He was about to find Cheng Mo, but was suddenly stopped by General Cheng.
General Cheng looked righteous and said to him seriously, "How can you be so lazy? Go and train harder!"
Ban Mu opened his mouth and was about to say something when he suddenly saw Cheng Mo standing behind General Cheng, silently shaking his head at him. So, the words on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back, Ban Mu sighed helplessly, then turned around and left silently.
General Cheng, who felt that he had won a "victory", had a smug look on his face. He turned around happily and said to Cheng Mo loudly, "Xiao Mo, did you see that? This is grandpa's majesty! Hahaha! Now grandpa will teach you how to shoot arrows. When I was young, I was a famous sharpshooter in the military camp! I could hit the target every time I shot, and I could hit the target every time I shot!"
Faced with such enthusiastic teaching from General Cheng, Cheng Mo did not say much, but just accepted this kindness in silence.
The grandfather in front of him seemed a little different from the one he remembered, but when he thought about it carefully, there was actually not much difference...
*
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Banmu and Cheng Mo have spent a full ten years together in this world. Looking back, since Cheng Mo's arrival, the originally monotonous military camp life has undergone earth-shaking changes. Not only did they plant large areas of cotton and wolfberries by themselves, but they also made rich profits by selling these crops, which significantly improved the food conditions of the entire military camp.
Every day, the soldiers only need to focus on patrolling and training, without any other distractions. Such a peaceful and tranquil day makes people almost forget the passage of time, and even don't realize that the return date is approaching.
However, fate always likes to play jokes inadvertently. When Cheng Mo and Ban Mu were stopped by General Cheng to chat, a familiar and abrupt voice suddenly sounded: "Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host, the ten-year period has arrived! We will return to the orc world in a quarter of an hour, please be prepared!" 079 appeared without any warning, as if he had fallen from the sky.
At this moment, Cheng Mo and Ban Mu were immersed in a warm atmosphere. Hearing this, Cheng Mo suddenly raised his head and looked straight at Ban Mu. Ban Mu nodded slightly, indicating that he also heard the 079 prompt sound. Cheng Mo's eyes instantly dimmed and he became listless like a deflated ball.
General Cheng noticed the change in his grandson's mood and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Xiaomo, why are you suddenly so unhappy?" As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Banmu, as if trying to find the answer from him.
"Grandpa, I really, really miss you!" Cheng Mo's eyes were filled with tears as she stared at General Cheng's face, which was full of traces of time but still strong and kind. Tears kept pouring out like a dam bursting.
General Cheng was very confused and worried about his grandson's sudden excitement. He reached out his hand and gently stroked Cheng Mo's head, saying in a soft voice, "Oh, my dear child, Grandpa misses you very much, too. Xiaomo, tell Grandpa what happened? Don't cry!"
Banmu, who was standing aside, looked at the grandparents and grandchildren quietly, feeling mixed emotions in his heart.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the moment of parting finally came inevitably.
At this moment, it seemed as if the whole world suddenly stopped.
Time froze in an instant, the air became heavy and stagnant, and General Cheng kept his hand raised to wipe Cheng Mo's tears, motionless. Cheng Mo looked at his grandfather's face with tears in his eyes, watching it gradually blur and dissipate before his eyes until it disappeared completely. There was only endless emptiness and dead silence around him, and a strong feeling of dizziness came over him, making him almost unstable.
When Cheng Mo regained consciousness, he found himself back in that familiar world. Nothing seemed to have changed, but he knew that they had truly spent ten years together in another world. However, that wonderful experience now seemed like an illusory dream, and there was no trace of it after he woke up.
"Banmu, are we...really back?" Cheng Mo looked at his hands hesitantly, still filled with disbelief. They actually traveled through time and space to come back here after living in another world for ten years! It all seemed like just an illusory dream.
"Yes, Xiaomo, we are finally home." Ban Mu held Cheng Mo's hand tightly and pushed open the door together.
The scene before him was the same as before. Cheng Lingqu was earnestly teaching a group of young animals to write in the yard. Their tiny claws tried hard to grasp the pen and draw the characters stroke by stroke.
Seeing Cheng Mo and Ban Mu return, Cheng Lingqu's face blossomed with a happy smile. He happily rushed towards them: "Dad! Father!"
Cheng Mo quickly reached out to catch Cheng Lingqu, looking around with a confused look. The long ten years he spent in the other world made him temporarily uncomfortable with his current life.
"Huh? Dad, why has the flesh on your body become hard?" Cheng Lingqu curiously stretched out her little hand and gently kneaded Cheng Mo's arm. Due to Cheng Mo's movements, the muscles on his arm bulged slightly.
“Don’t move.” Ban Mu saw this and quickly grabbed Cheng Lingqu by the back of his collar and lifted him up. Cheng Lingqu was hanging in the air with a sullen look on his face, his hands crossed in front of his chest, and he scolded, “Humph, you stingy guy!”
At this time, other cubs also gathered around, saying hello, their eyes full of admiration and respect for Cheng Mo and Ban Mu. Facing this group of cute little guys, Cheng Mo gradually came back to his senses from his trance, feeling the long-lost warmth and peace.
Cheng Mo held two furry and soft cubs in his arms, burying his face deep in their soft fur, feeling the warmth and comfort. The two cubs seemed to enjoy this interaction very much, quietly nestling in Cheng Mo's arms, without struggling, allowing him to play.
Banmu on the side observed silently for a moment, counted to ten in his mind, and then quickly walked forward to take the cub from Cheng Mo.
Cheng Mo looked at Ban Mu in confusion, not understanding why he did this. Ban Mu held Cheng Mo's hand tightly and said seriously, "It's getting late, we should go home for dinner!"
At this moment, Cheng Mo suddenly realized that it was almost evening and it was indeed time to go home and enjoy dinner.
At this moment, Cheng Lingqu shouted loudly: "Assemble!" The voice was loud and clear. After hearing the order, the group of little cubs immediately took action and lined up quickly and neatly.
Cheng Mo was stunned by this sudden scene, and his body involuntarily produced a conditioned reflex, wanting to join the end of the line. If Ban Mu hadn't pulled him back in time, he would have run over to line up.
Then, Cheng Lingqu shouted again: "Go back to your homes! No playing and fighting allowed!" As soon as the words fell, the cubs left the yard in an orderly manner, each of them looking well-behaved and sensible.
Cheng Mo stared at the cute little cubs intently, watching them walk out of the yard in an orderly manner with their tender steps. He was full of curiosity and couldn't help but ask softly: "Who did these little guys learn from? They are so cute!" His words revealed his love for the cleverness of the little cubs.
Ban Mu, who was standing nearby, looked back at Cheng Lingqu cautiously. Seeing that he didn't notice him, he lowered his voice and said to Cheng Mo softly, "Compared to my human form, I still think my animal form is easier to touch, and it will also look cuter!"
After hearing this, Cheng Mo could not help but roll his eyes at him in anger, but then turned his eyes to Cheng Lingqu who seemed to have not heard the conversation at all. Then, he reached out his hand stealthily and twisted Ban Mu's arm gently as a punishment. Facing this action, Ban Mu just smiled slightly and stared at Cheng Mo with eyes full of tenderness and love.
After sending all the cubs out safely, Cheng Lingqu turned around, held the hands of the two parents, and cheered happily: "Finally, I can go home for dinner! Dad, can I have delicious fried fish tonight?"
"Of course no problem! Baby, no matter what you want to eat, daddy will do his best to satisfy you!" Cheng Mo replied with a smile on his face.
So, the family of three walked into the room hand in hand, happily, and their figures gradually disappeared outside the closed door...
