The days that followed were very peaceful. Nothing earth-shattering happened. Everything seemed so harmonious and peaceful.
Every day, Mu Li was either taken by the old man to visit friends or by the old lady to attend various banquets. In order to spend more time with her daughter every day, Ling Yue also took great pains to stay with the old lady Mu. This made the wealthy mothers-in-law in the Magic City very envious and jealous. The Mu family married a good daughter-in-law!
"Host, have you been too comfortable lately?" One morning, when Mu Li was about to lie down in the sun again, the system, which had been silent for a long time, made a cold mechanical sound.
"What the hell?" Before Mu Li could say anything, Taotie exploded. "How could there be other creatures in your sea of consciousness? How could you treat me like this?" Taotie began to search Mu Li's sea of consciousness.
"Dahei, calm down, it's not a living thing." Mu Li quickly comforted him.
"Hmph, you unfaithful and treacherous woman! You actually took advantage of me recuperating to keep another dog?!" Taotie cursed.
"Uh... Dahei, this is not the way to use the word! Besides, I'm still a baby, and it's not a dog!" Mu Li was speechless. Where did this guy learn these weird words?
"I don't care. Anyway, there can only be me in your sea of consciousness! I will find it now and swallow it!"
"Dahei, don't be impulsive! How can we go back if you swallow it?" Mu Li hurriedly stopped him, "Do you really want me to stay here forever? Then my grandparents, my father, my mother, and my brothers will all be gone? And my prince brother... I miss them so much..." Mu Li's voice trembled and she cried. She really missed them...
"Okay, okay, don't cry. I won't eat it, but I have to beat it up and let it know who is the boss. It dares to talk to my master like that. I will beat it until its teeth are all on the ground!" Taotie saw Mu Li crying and panicked, so he hurried to comfort her.
He had known Mu Li for so many years, but when had he ever seen her cry? Whether it was ten thousand years ago, or in every reincarnation, no matter how hard or painful it was, he had never seen her cry. And now she was crying because she missed her family...
Taotie felt an unbearable bitterness in his heart. She was really becoming more and more like a human being. If that person knew, he would definitely be very relieved, right? Taotie thought of the man in black clothes and silver hair and couldn't help but shudder. "Damn it, why should I miss him! Let him die alone in the underworld!"
Little did he know that the person he mentioned who would die alone in the underworld was now appearing at the airport in Beijing, accompanied by a group of people who were dressed in ordinary clothes but behaved in an extraordinary manner.
"Master, this is Shangjing, the chief is waiting for you!"
"Yeah." The young man with silver hair said in a cold voice.
"Okay, I was wrong. Stop crying, okay?" Dahei coaxed patiently.
"Okay...we want Mu Li to complete the mission and go home early!" Mu Li wiped away her tears and cheered herself up!
"good."
"System, hasn't the ending of the Mu family changed? Are there any other tasks?"
"Mr. Mu is not dead, but the person behind the scenes has not been caught yet. He will make a comeback one day!"
"But didn't the Song family go bankrupt and leave the Magic City? Song Ren was also put in prison. Who else wants to harm our family?" Mu Li asked with a frown.
"Host, have you forgotten someone?" the system prompted.
"Who is it?" Mu Li couldn't remember for a moment.
"Just say what you want to say. It's so annoying to keep dithering!" Taotie stared at the compass in Mu Li's sea of consciousness and said impatiently.
"Host, the main quest prompts you that you have completed 1/2, and the other half is left to be completed." The system replied tremblingly.
"Let's get to the point. Which half is left?" Taotie walked over and lay down in front of the Eight Treasures Compass.
"Song Ren has a younger sister named Song Yan who has been living abroad. She has colluded with the second master of the Mu family and contacted a foreign cult organization, and is preparing to continue to attack the Mu family!" the system said quickly.
"What are they going to do?" Mu Li asked with a frown.
"They found a sorcerer and are planning to cast a spell to sow evil spirits on the Mu family's ancestral land!"
"Planting evil? It sounds evil!" Mu Li had never come into contact with it and didn't understand it very well.
"This is a very evil spell that devours the human soul, plunging them into endless suffering. This spell is usually used against powerful enemies, but some also use it to pursue power and wealth. If you are accidentally struck by this spell, your soul will be devoured, and you will lose your self-awareness and become a walking corpse. So, be careful!"
"Then why didn't he cast the spell directly on everyone in the Mu family, but instead went to the ancestral land to cast the spell?" Mu Li asked in confusion.
"Because the Mu family has you. Every member of the Mu family holds a talisman. The entire villa is airtightly protected by your spells. That person has been unable to find an opportunity, so he can only seek a distant location. After all, the ancestral tomb holds a vital and irreplaceable position for a family! It is not only the resting place of the family's ancestors, but also a symbol of the family's spiritual sustenance and cohesion!"
"I knew earlier that in ancient society, people attached unimaginable importance to their ancestral tombs. The good or bad feng shui of the ancestral tombs was directly related to the prosperity or decline of future generations! Therefore, once the ancestral tombs were destroyed or desecrated, it would not only cause internal disputes within the family, but could also lead to the decline or even extinction of the family!"
"So that's how it is!" Mu Li nodded, "Then what should I do?"
"The host needs to complete the following tasks: 1. Protect the ancestral land from being destroyed; 2. Catch the traitor; 3. Resolve the Song family's future troubles; 4. Eliminate the strongholds of foreign cults in our country! 5...."
