After the change of city lords came to an end, the city became increasingly luxurious.

Chen Mo followed some of the previous city lord's systems, such as still hiring people to do work, but at much more reasonable prices.

Or the porridge stalls remain open as always, but instead of rice water, they serve thick and fragrant rice porridge.

This made all the people very happy.

In those turbulent times of famine, having enough to eat and drink was a luxury.

Many people simply hope to live a plain and simple life in this small city.

"That's great."

Xu Nian looked up at the azure sky and then at the bustling streets around her, feeling a sense of satisfaction.

Chen Mo's ability to govern the city was improving every day, and Xu Nian had noticed this.

People around recognized Xu Nian and greeted her warmly.

"Miss Xu has arrived?"

"Would you like to eat, Miss Xu?"

Faced with such a warm welcome, Xu Nian smiled shyly and waved her hand to indicate that it was not necessary.

The residents here are very simple and honest. They know that it was Xu Nian who led Chen Mo to overthrow the previous city lord's autocratic rule, so they are all very kind to her.

Looking at the increasingly prosperous city, Xu Nian knew it was time to leave.

[It feels like the streamer is a guide, leading a city to its destination before quietly departing.]

[That's right, like a candle, burning itself to light up others.]

[Did I enter the wrong live stream? When did this streamer's live stream become so emotional? I'm getting teary-eyed.]

Seeing the barrage of comments filled with both emotion and amusement, Xu Nian was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

Indeed, she was just a passerby in this era.

Even so, Xu Nian wanted to do her best to help every city and people she could reach.

After a few days of reorganization, Xu Nian and the others set off again.

This time, as usual, they packed their bags very well, and even brought several exquisite little trolleys.

These were all gifts that Chen Mo and the people had gone to great lengths to give, so Xu Nian and the others couldn't refuse them and accepted them with satisfaction.

Compared to Xu Nian's storage space, this trolley is still extremely useful for most people.

Many people were full of fighting spirit as they embarked on their journey again, but two little ones lagged behind at the back of the group, looking worried and distressed.

Xu Nian noticed this, slowed her pace, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Hearing this, Da Bao pouted and said, "Sister, I'm a little reluctant to part with my friends."

Erbao nodded and counted on his fingers, "Qiang, Xiaomei, and many more. They always play with us."

The two children weren't very interested, and Xu Nian sighed almost imperceptibly, raising her hand to draw a talisman in the air.

The talisman transformed in countless ways, eventually becoming two thin red threads. Xu Nian infused them with magical power and wrapped them around Da Bao and Er Bao's arms.

"This is a red string that your older sister gave you. It's filled with lots of food and drinks. Next time you meet children, take out these things and share them with them as souvenirs, okay?"

Xu Nian patiently comforted her, a gentle smile on her face.

This can be described as a talisman that connects to their own space, allowing Da Bao and Er Bao to take things out of the space at any time.

Upon hearing this, Da Bao and Er Bao exchanged a glance and nodded excitedly.

"no problem!"

Seeing this, Xu Nian felt relieved and specifically reminded her, "But you can't eat too much sugar, or you'll get cavities."

Da Bao and Er Bao didn't nod firmly in response; instead, they laughed and ran away.

Xu Nian laughed and scolded, then led the group on their way.

Gu Zhan lagged behind the rest of the group, leading the soldiers to cover the rear.

Looking at Xu Nian's bright expression, he felt comfortable, and his usually indifferent face softened considerably.

This emboldened the soldiers around them.

They cautiously approached Gu Zhan's side and hurriedly asked, "General, where are we going next?"

Although they had traveled with Xu Nian the previous times, their next destination was far away, and they would probably part ways with her.

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhan remained silent for a long time before giving him a meaningful look.

It seemed to be saying: Ask again and I'll kill you!

Immediately, the soldiers wisely shut up and backed away, and not one of them spoke again.

After the soldiers had all withdrawn, a somewhat enigmatic expression appeared between Gu Zhan's brows.

Xu Nian glanced at the darkening sky and called out, "Everyone, let's find a place to rest. We'll be sleeping outside tonight!"

No one objected to this.

It was normal to sleep outdoors on the road when fleeing famine, especially since they had plenty of resources and had brought a lot of good things with them.

Xu Nian first made a bed for Da Bao and Er Bao, and then took out some noodles from her spatial storage.

The night was unbearably hot, and Xu Nian decided to make a bowl of cold noodles to share with everyone.

There are plenty of cucumbers and tomatoes; the dough can be rolled out fresh, and ice water is also an option—just cast a spell.

So Xu Nian happily started kneading the dough, preparing a large basin of ice water to wait in the process.

This action quickly attracted the attention of many people, and everyone burst into laughter.

"The fortune teller is preparing to cook for us again."

Everyone saw Xu Nian kneading dough, another large bowl of it, which must be for them to eat.

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian happily agreed and called Da Bao and Er Bao over to knead the dough.

Da Bao and Er Bao listened excitedly to Xu Nian's instructions and kneaded the dough diligently.

After 45 minutes, Xu Nian patted the rested dough onto a wooden board and began rolling it out.

Do you need my help?

Gu Zhan watched for a long time before walking over and asking.

Xu Nian looked thin and frail; this job might be tiring.

Xu Nian wanted to refuse, but then she thought about how she still needed to prepare the sauce, so she nodded in agreement.

Immediately afterward, to the astonishment of the soldiers, the usually imposing and arrogant General Gu patiently began to roll out the dough.

Xu Nian used the seasonings in the space to carefully mix a sweet and sour noodle sauce, and then boiled a pot of boiling water.

Gu Zhan then put the noodles into the pot and waited.

Xu Nian quickly scooped out the cooked noodles and soaked them in cold water. Then she added her own secret sweet and sour sauce, making a large bowl of cold noodles.

"Come and eat, everyone!" Xu Nian called out.

Everyone came over excitedly to eat the noodles, praising them highly, "These noodles are so refreshing and delicious!"

Hearing everyone's praise, Xu Nian felt quite proud and turned around to call Gu Zhan.

But all we saw was his departing figure.

Seeing this, Xu Nian felt suspicious.

What's wrong?
