Mu Xiyue found a piece of thick cloth to put on the ground and placed the two little white tigers on the cloth.

Xiao Yibai had followed into this space many times and was now very familiar with it. He helped get the ingredients to prepare dinner.

"Is there a time limit for entering this space?" This is something Xiao Yibai wanted to ask for a long time. He felt that Mu Xiyue rarely entered the space, and even if she did, she would not stay for too long.

Mu Xiyue was cooking on another stove. When she heard Xiao Yibai's question, she smiled and said, "There's no time limit. As long as there's enough food, you can stay in there forever."

After she dished out the cooked food, she scooped water from a bucket on one side to rinse the pot. She poured the dirty water into another bucket, then pointed to the bucket and said, "But space doesn't automatically remove garbage, so living in space is unrealistic."

Xiao Yibai handed him some chopped bacon and mushrooms and listened as she continued, "Although there's no time limit for entering the space, I don't like staying in it for too long. This is a habit I developed during the apocalypse."

Zombies are rampant in the apocalypse. You never know when zombies or mutant animals will appear nearby. She has to keep one eye open when sleeping at night. She will not enter the space unless it is extremely dangerous.

Because you can't sense the situation outside in the space. If you stay in the space for a long time, maybe when you leave the space, there will be zombies or mutant animals wandering into the exit of the space, and you might die. She is also afraid that the comfort in the space will make her lower her vigilance.

Xiao Yibai had heard her talk about life in the end times before, and his heart still ached every time he heard it. Fortunately, his Yueyue came here. Although there would be dangers when being with him, such dangers were at least controllable.

The porridge is almost cooked. Take it out and let it cool down for a while. Although the food in the space is kept fresh, its temperature will become the same as the temperature of the space, about 20 degrees.

The little white tiger was probably not even a month old yet. Mu Xiyue didn't dare feed it meat paste, fearing it would have diarrhea. So she waited for the porridge to cool down and then put it to the little white tiger's mouth. Surprisingly, the little white tiger was smart enough to lick the porridge from the bowl and eat it.

The porridge was white porridge with only a little salt in it. The little white tiger was probably hungry, so he ate this porridge happily.

The two of them ignored them and started to have dinner.

Mu Xiyue was a person who didn't like to waste food. When the two of them ate together in the palace, there would be seven or eight dishes. The leftovers would be given to the servants in the palace, and basically nothing would be wasted.

Mu Xiyue did cook six dishes today, but the portion of each dish was small, so both of them could finish it. The dish given to Huohu was braised pork. Huohu never ate raw meat again after eating cooked food.

After dinner, the little white tigers were already fast asleep on the cloth mat. Mu Xiyue locked them up in the wooden house. The fire foxes ran around in the space and played by themselves without Mu Xiyue having to take care of them.

After boiling some hot water and taking a shower, Xiao Yibai carried the person to the bed.

Although Mu Xiyue rarely stayed in the space, she still arranged one of the wooden rooms into a bedroom. She only slept in this bedroom a few times.

Xiao Yibai couldn't wait to press her down, "It's been three days since I've properly pampered you, my beloved concubine. Do you miss me?"

Mu Xiyue was too embarrassed to ask such an awkward question. She punched Xiao Yibai on the shoulder and said, "Shut up!"

Xiao Yibai chuckled, "My wife must be right, I am thinking about it very much."

Xiao Yibai called her "beloved concubine" and "wife" alternately, and her calls were so sweet and seductive that Mu Xiyue had already fallen for him.

In the palace, Xiao Yibai would still be a little cautious. After all, the guards on night watch were all good in skills and had excellent hearing. He would also restrain himself and try to keep his voice as low as possible.

There were only two people in the space today, and Xiao Yibai completely let himself go.

Mu Xiyue never knew that this bastard was so talkative. She was tortured to the point that her throat became hoarse. If she didn't have the healing ability, she felt that she might not be able to recover even if she slept for two days.

The next day, they came out of the space and headed back. The purpose of coming here this time was to catch the wolf cubs. Even if they didn't meet the wolf cubs, having two little white tigers was enough, and it was worth the trip into the mountains.

After the two climbed up the hill and confirmed that there were no more ferocious beasts in this area, Mu Xiyue released the bodies of the brown bear and white tiger. It took an hour to walk from here to the mine. Once they returned to the mine, they would call the secret guards to carry the bodies of the two big guys back.

----

Feng Wuhua took three and a half days to return to Shangjing. When the emperor saw Xiao Yibai's secret report, he was very pleased and said "good" three times in a row.

"Feng Wu, how did Princess Jin discover the gold mine?"

Xiao Yibai did not elaborate on the process in the secret report, only saying that it was Mu Xiyue who discovered the gold mine.

Feng Wuwei lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, it was also by chance that the princess found it. The cave was covered by vines, and the princess accidentally discovered a small cave behind the vines. She originally thought she could spend the night there, but after entering, she discovered that it might be a gold mine."

Xiao Yibai's secret memorial stated that none of his group had any prospecting experience and could not confirm whether it was truly a gold mine. He requested that the emperor send someone skilled in prospecting to take a look. Despite Xiao Yibai's words, the emperor was convinced that it was undoubtedly a gold mine. He understood his son's temperament and would not speak of anything he was unsure of.

The emperor sent people from the Mine Supervision Office to rush to Prison Beast Mountain with Feng Wu. Mining gold requires a detailed plan, and you can't just ask people to mine it once you find a mine.

However, the Mining Supervision Office would formulate plans for these matters and report them to the Emperor. The Mining Supervision Office of Tianqi Kingdom was not affiliated with any other department and only obeyed the Emperor's orders. The Mining Supervision Office not only had people skilled in prospecting, but also skilled craftsmen in mining and smelting.

It was seven days later when Feng Wu and the people from the Mine Supervision Office returned to the gold mine cave. Xiao Yibai only left five secret guards there to guard it. He and Mu Xiyue had already left the Beast Prison Mountain.

Xiao Yibai and Mu Xiyue were already on their way back to Beijing. They had originally planned to wait for Feng Wu and the people from the Mine Supervision Office to arrive before leaving. The weather wasn't great the day after they returned to the mine. It was overcast and looked like it was going to rain. It started to drizzle in the evening, but thankfully, it remained cloudy for the rest of the day. Xiao Yibai didn't want Mu Xiyue to stay out in the wild in such weather, so they left the mountain before it started to rain.

Fortunately, they left the mountain in time. When they arrived in Yun'an County, the drizzle had turned into heavy rain. It was unwise to travel in such weather. Xiao Yibai was still on vacation anyway, so it didn't matter if he hadn't returned after the vacation. Anyway, he would not go to court from time to time for no reason, and the emperor could do nothing about him.

The two stayed in the inn in Yun'an County for four days. Although Xiao Yibai was away, he was not idle. He took advantage of the heavy rain in the guest room to deal with the secret reports that had not been dealt with in the past few days since he entered the mountains.

Mu Xiyue was bored so she stood next to him to read the secret reports. When she came to this ancient time, she had never thought about establishing her own power like the heroine in the novel, so she was very curious about how the power under Xiao Yibai operated.

Xiao Yibai was reading about the flood in Jingtong Town. The flood control and water diversion project built last year had indeed encountered major problems. If the original design had been followed, this year's flood could have been avoided.

The originally designed river channel for water diversion and drainage was not built according to the planned width, so the flood discharge effect could not be achieved at all. In addition, the diversion embankments were mostly made of mud and sand instead of stones, which could not withstand the impact of the rapids. The embankments were directly washed away and the river channel was blocked.
