For the next month or so, they traveled on and off again, but this time they took a completely different route than they had come by.

After all, different routes offer different scenery.

If there's no time to stay at an inn, you can camp out in the wild, hunt some game, gaze at the starry sky, and have your loved one by your side. You won't feel lonely; on the contrary, it's a unique experience.

Furthermore, under Ziyue's guidance, Chiling's barbecue skills have become truly masterful.

When he was on missions in the past, he often ate dry rations or hunted wild game. However, he used to have limited seasonings, but now he has all kinds of seasonings, and the taste is even better.

Anyway, Ziyue really likes to eat it.

After returning to Luocheng, the two went back to the Yue residence to wash up and rest. Ziyue then had a good night's sleep.

After waking up, Ziyue received a warm welcome from Qingyun and Qingshu.

"Miss, please try this lotus flower pastry. I've improved it; it's crispier and sweeter than before. Please give it a try."

"Miss, this is glutinous rice cake. It's soft, sweet, and refreshingly cool. It's perfect for this kind of weather. Do you like it?"

"Miss, you look thinner." Qing Shu looked at her young lady pitifully and rolled up her sleeves.

"I will definitely prepare a Manchu Han Imperial Feast for you at noon, Miss. Please wait here, I will go and prepare it right away."

With that, he stormed out the door, his imposing manner suggesting he was about to embark on a major undertaking was truly impressive.

Ziyue shook her head and first tasted a bite of the glutinous rice cake. The fragrant and soft glutinous rice was wrapped with sweet bean paste. One bite was soft and not sticky, sweet but not greasy, just the sweetness she liked.

The lotus flower pastry has distinct layers, making it beautiful and delicate. Just looking at it is a pleasure, and eating it is even more delightful, as it is crisp, sweet, and has a unique flavor.

Ziyue ate several pastries in a row. Seeing that their young lady liked them, Qingyun nodded secretly. It seemed that these two pastries could be made for the young lady more often in the future.

Next, Ziyue resumed her life of leisure and even remotely helped Beiliang Mo Ran improve people's livelihoods and gradually win their hearts.

Another year passed, and news came that the emperor of Northern Liang had abdicated and passed the throne to the crown prince. Ziyue's second mission was thus completed.

Oh, by the way, Qingyun and Song Zhiwen, the shopkeeper, somehow fell for each other, and Ziyue even helped them hold a wedding.

She even became addicted to organizing weddings. For a long time afterward, Ziyue kept asking Qingshu if she had someone she liked and when she was getting married, so that she could help her organize a proper wedding as well.

The girl Qing Shu was so frightened that she wanted to avoid her mistress for days.

Later, Ziyue and Chiling often went out for trips alone, and each trip usually lasted for more than half a year.

They had traveled together to the northwestern deserts, where they heard the bells of camels; they had also seen the snow-covered landscapes of Lingnan, with its winter snow and red plum blossoms...

Their footsteps traversed the four kingdoms until they grew old and could no longer travel, at which point they returned to Luo City to settle down in the Moon Palace and enjoy their comfortable retirement...

When Ziyue grew old, Linglong Pavilion closed down, and the group of them left Luocheng to settle elsewhere.

People assumed that Linglong Pavilion had simply gone into seclusion to avoid the world, but the legends surrounding Linglong Pavilion were preserved for a very, very long time…

"Ding—Welcome back, host. You have completed the second mission world. Reward: 500 points."

"Ding—Congratulations to the host for completing random task one: making a deal with the fifth prince of Beiliang. Reward: 500 points."

"Ding—Congratulations to the host for completing the second random task: helping the Crown Prince of Beiliang, Beiliang Mo Ran, to successfully inherit the throne. Reward: 1000 points. Total points earned: 2000. The host now has 5540 points remaining."

Ziyue nodded. In the mission world, she bought a lifelike robot named Xingmeng for 200 points, five antidote pills for 100 points, a bottle of corpse-dissolving water, and a bottle of "Sleeping Beauty," spending a total of 310 points.

Adding the points she had saved from the last world, she still had over 5,000 points left, which was quite a lot. She was very satisfied, and she was one step closer to her goal of buying a physical item for Xiao Jiu'er.

Ziyue carried Xiao Jiu'er into the villa, "Host."

"Ok?"

Little Jiu'er stayed quietly in her host's arms, carefully looking at her host, "Host, would you like to buy a memory crystal?"

Ziyue suddenly realized, "Memory Crystal?"

Oh, she remembered that it was in the system store, and Xiao Jiu'er had mentioned it before.

The memory crystal can extract her emotions, but her memories will still exist, just like watching a movie from a third-person perspective, without the same strong emotional fluctuations.

However, it seems she doesn't need it?

At least for now, it's not necessary.

Perhaps she was born cold-hearted, or perhaps it was because she never gave her heart completely; she always loved herself the most.

Therefore, even though one feels some sadness upon the passing of a loved one, it is not to the point of mental breakdown or being unable to cope.

So, the subordinate gently ruffled Xiao Jiu'er's hair and said in a tender tone, "We don't need it for now. I'll buy it when we need it later, don't worry, sweetie!"

Xiao Jiu'er carefully examined her host's expression and breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that his host would become obsessed with past emotions, unable and unwilling to move on, which would be very dangerous. He knew how many mission takers had failed because of the word "emotion".

However, it seems that his host was born to be a mission taker who travels through countless small worlds.

Little Jiu'er subtly puffed out his little chest, a look of pride on his face. He truly deserved the host he had chosen; he was amazing! The host was amazing too!!

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, he said, "Little Jiu'er, let's take a look at the next mission world first."

"Yes, host." 999 obediently reached out and summoned a ball of white light, which transformed into a book and stopped in front of Ziyue. Ziyue reached out and took it, then pressed it close to her forehead.

The book is titled "The Rich Young Master and His Pretty Secretary," which clearly indicates a modern setting.

It tells a clichéd love story between a wealthy young man and a Cinderella.

The main setting of this novel's world is the creation of four powerful families: Lan, Qing, Xu, and Bai.

The male lead is Bai Aoran, the heir of the Bai family, and the female lead is Xu Ruo, a secretary in his family's company.

However, Cinderella usually has a noble father, and similarly, Xu Ruo is the illegitimate daughter of the head of the Xu family, one of the four great wealthy families, who has been separated from her family.

Xu Ruo's mother was a mistress kept by the head of the Xu family, but unfortunately, she was not able to rise to the position of power.

After being discovered by the original wife, he was given money to send her away.

After Xu Ruo's mother took the money and left for another place, she secretly gave birth to Xu Ruo.

She carefully nurtured Xu Ruo from a young age, waiting for her to grow up so she could fetch a good price.

Xu Ruo had always known her mother's thoughts, and she did not resist them; in fact, she was happy to see them come to fruition.

Therefore, she has always been very obedient to her mother's arrangements, hoping to marry into a wealthy family and become the matriarch of the household.

So, despite her seemingly innocent and naive appearance, she has a very deep mind.

The male lead, Bai Aoran, is the target of her carefully chosen strategy. She enters the Bai family's company, gets close to the male lead, and becomes his secretary.

Despite the twists and turns, everything eventually came to fruition, and she successfully married Bai Aoran, becoming the young mistress of the Bai family.

If you disregard moral values, this novel is essentially about the female protagonist's relentless struggle to rise to power.
