Before Shen Hanmeng lay the outskirts of Wangjiang City.
This is a vast grassland. As the weather gets colder, the grass, which is knee-high, has withered, leaving only a huge plain.
Shen Hanmeng's steps finally came to a stop.
He arrived at the grassland, raised his head, looked at the boundless sky, and took a deep breath.
At that moment, his eyes showed relaxation and satisfaction.
Above the sky, Chen Mu silently watched this scene.
He saw Shen Hanmeng fall down, lying flat on the grassland, limbs outstretched, feeling the long-lost vastness and immensity.
Perhaps for him, who had been confined in a "black coffin" for many years, living freely under the sky was the life he longed for most in this life.
"Judging from his appearance, he's still a bit mentally unstable," Chen Mu said.
“I don’t think now is the time to talk to him about things. He deserves to enjoy a few days of leisure.”
And what I want to talk to him about is strategic decisions for the future.
Strategy is something that cannot be rushed, nor should it be rushed.
Let him rest for a few days first. Chief Night, I'll trouble you to take care of Shen Hanmeng for me these next few days.
Try to comfort him, talk to him about what happened, and introduce him to the Wangjiang Watchtower.
"Let me know when he's stabilized so I can come see him."
Hearing Chen Mu's understanding words, Ye Changsheng couldn't help but cup his hands in thanks, "I thank Boss Chen on behalf of Shen Hanmeng. I will pass on your kindness to him."
"Thank you for your hard work." Chen Mu patted Ye Changsheng on the shoulder and then turned to leave.
Chen Mu didn't plan to go down now; he wanted to discuss serious matters with Shen Hanmeng immediately, as that would put him in a difficult position.
It took me a lot of effort and hard work to bring back a chief scientist.
This kind of talent should be kept; we can't afford to drive them crazy.
Chen Mu felt that Shen Hanmeng's state was a clear case of stress response.
Spending more time in open areas shouldn't drive him crazy.
By entrusting the matter to Ye Changsheng, Chen Mu was also demonstrating his trust in Ye Changsheng.
He truly considered Ye Changsheng one of his own and wasn't afraid of Ye Changsheng speaking ill of him behind his back.
"If you need any help, just tell the Lost Village Chief. If he can't solve it, then come find me at the Mountain and Water Courtyard."
After exchanging a few words with Ye Changsheng, Chen Mu turned and left.
After returning this time, Chen Mu plans to rest for a day.
After all, everything has now reached a critical point.
Of the ten most eerie scenes at the level of Ghost Lord/Ghost Venerable, only one remains.
Of the ten times Guimen achieved godlike status, only the last one remains.
The former influences the actions of the Supreme Being of the Deceptive Path; having collected all the fragments of Hell, the Supreme Being of the Deceptive Path will certainly take action.
The latter is closely related to monster hordes, black holes, and great floods.
The next time I challenge a bizarre scenario, whether it's the former or the latter, it will inevitably involve various forces.
At that time, I'm afraid I really won't have a chance to rest.
With a few days left, I'll steal a day to rest amidst my busy schedule.
When Chen Mu returned to the Mountain and Water Courtyard, it was already evening.
As soon as Chen Mu pushed the door open, he saw Bao Bao waiting for him at the door.
After a few days apart, Bao Bao's complexion improved significantly, and his white fur became much softer.
It's clear that Chacha and Xiaoxi took good care of it while I was away.
Chen Mu picked up Bao Bao, and the little guy rubbed affectionately against Chen Mu's neck when he saw him come back.
After petting the cat a few times, Chen Mu carried Bao Bao to the living room.
"Where are Cha Cha and the other girl? Where did they go so late at night?"
Chen Mu was a little puzzled. In the past, when he came back, Cha Cha and the other person would be waiting for him in the living room.
Why are Chacha and Xiaoxi nowhere to be found when I came back today?
However, Chen Mu could sense that the two people's presence was indeed still inside the villa.
"Why aren't they welcoming me at the villa? What are they up to?"
Chen Mu muttered to himself, his tone revealing a hint of jealousy.
He was a little disappointed that the two children didn't come to pick him up.
However, as soon as Chen Mu entered the hall, he smelled a fragrance.
The aroma wafted from the kitchen and reached Chen Mu's nose.
He turned his head and saw a pile of freshly cooked hot dishes on the dining table in the living room.
To keep them warm, there's even a ring of innate, mysterious energy surrounding these dishes.
Chen Mu's first thought was—Did Xu Yueji make dinner early?
I didn't inform Princess Xuyue, so she probably wouldn't have done it in advance.
Wait a minute... After Xu Yue Ji finishes cooking, she won't use her innate magical energy to keep the food warm.
Could it be that……
Chen Mu couldn't help but turn his head and look at the kitchen next to the living room.
Sure enough, through the semi-transparent sliding door of the kitchen, Chen Mu saw two small figures inside.
Cha Cha and Xiao Xi!
Chen Mu walked over and pushed open the kitchen door.
Xiaoxi was carrying a plate, preparing to take it to the living room.
Before he could open the door, Chen Mu pushed it open and stood in front of the two of them.
When Xiaoxi saw Chen Mu, her face immediately lit up with a smile. "Brother Chen, you really came back! I knew you'd be back today!"
On the other side, Cha Cha was in a flurry of activity, and the pot was almost on fire.
Chen Mu patted Xiao Xi's head and asked, "What are you two doing?"
Xiaoxi said, "Brother Ye and Brother Shile came back this afternoon and said you cleared the level. I bet Sister Chacha that you would definitely come back tonight."
We were thinking of making dinner to welcome Brother Chen back.
I even made a bet with Sister Chacha: whoever loses has to do the dishes tonight.
Chen Mu couldn't help but chuckle. Cha Cha actually dared to make a bet with Xiao Xi? Cha Cha was really bold; she didn't know Xiao Xi's luck was off the charts right now.
Chen Mu wasn't idle either; he went over and helped Cha Cha wash the vegetables.
Soon, a sumptuous dinner was ready.
The three of them sat around the table and prepared a chair for Bao Bao as well.
The three people and their cat enjoyed a freshly prepared dinner under warm lighting.
It has to be said that Cha Cha's cooking skills have improved rapidly, surpassing even Xu Yue Ji's level and even approaching the level of the Midnight Hotel's head chef.
"Your skills are quite good. Who did you learn from?" Chen Mu asked.
"I learned it from Sister Li Xiaoxiao. Anyway, I had nothing better to do, so I learned to cook and read books at the same time."
Cha Cha said casually, but her expression showed that she was very pleased with Chen Mu's praise.
"By the way, when you left, people from the Lake of Fallen Gods came looking for you," Cha Cha said.
"The Lake of Fallen Gods? They're back again?"
Chen Mu frowned slightly. Why had the Lake of Fallen Gods come knocking again?
Is it for irrigation?
But didn't I just water it once not long ago?
In terms of time, there shouldn't be such a rush.
Could it be... that something big is about to happen?
Thinking of this, Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat.
