Chapter 1104: Chapter 55: The First Task Is Babysitting

Is there any compelling reason to remain at this point in time?

Undoubtedly, it’s the emotional bonds.

The bed in the bedroom was very soft, yet Li Mumu lay on it without other thoughts.

The amount of information she received tonight was overwhelming, her mind was somewhat insufficient to process it.

Even if she had two more heads, it wouldn’t be enough.

“How should we sleep tonight?”

Wang Yunxiao asked sincerely.

Li Mumu glanced at him without speaking.

Thus, Wang Yunxiao understood.

Sleeping while lying down.

This wasn’t just nonsense, but tonight Li Mumu indeed wasn’t in the mood to fool around with him.

Moreover… no matter what, they were in someone else’s house, a house full of mysterious creatures whose levels of strength were unknown; can you guarantee they won’t eavesdrop?

Even if they don’t do so intentionally, as long as their hearing is good enough, the room’s walls can’t be considered soundproof.

Thinking that every word or action could be spied upon, there wasn’t much fun in it.

Wang Yunxiao slipped into the covers, quietly pulling the contemplative girl into his arms and sniffed subtly.

Smells great.

“Why do you seem not to care at all?”

Li Mumu asked quietly.

“What do you want me to care about?”

Wang Yunxiao was puzzled: “Didn’t they say as long as you participate in the Star Disc Plan, that lady would personally help you solve the problems with the Signal Flag?”

“But she also mentioned that the plan itself doesn’t have much assurance; it’s merely a choice made out of necessity.”

“Three parts destiny, seven parts hard work, people will help where they can, but our own effort is needed too.”

During the after-dinner conversation, Miss Bai Zhi implied that she hoped Wang Yunxiao and Li Mumu would join the Star Disc Plan to strive to advance to become Star Monarchs at the pinnacle of the Twelve Laws as soon as possible.

In addition to their individual talents being outstanding, another reason, though not publicly mentioned but extremely important, was Li Mumu’s bloodline.

Back then, the ancestor of the Xu Family faced the challenge of how to preserve a complete world when designing the Doomsday Plan.

Preserving it incompletely would turn it into the ghastly state of the Thousand-Year Dynasty.

Human social civilization is a hugely complex structure, similar to a natural ecosystem with carnivores, herbivores, and scavengers. Judging from the standpoint of one or a few species to determine who is needed or not will surely ruin the ecosystem.

To put it simply, relying solely on a monk won’t sustain the entire story of Journey to the West.

Everyone knows there’s a book called “Great Tang Records on the Western Regions,” but few have read it.

So the ancestor of the Xu Family proposed a brilliant idea—since one person is insufficient to support the world, let’s find a few more.

Using the Twelve Laws system, with vastly different perceptions, to cultivate twenty-eight Star Monarchs, allowing them to preserve the complete civilization ecology and social structure as much as possible during the oscillations of the Temporal Tides.

Of course, this is just a temporary measure; the gaps are wide, slipping through and losing some is inevitable.

Hence, the subsequent Compass Plan was established.

Even if lost in the torrents of time and space, it’s alright; bring the compass and follow the guideposts back home.

These twenty-eight Star Monarchs must emerge from different fields and also possess enough talent and dedication to ascend to the summit quickly.

Under this premise, the Xu Family naturally favors their descendants, which is understandable.

It’s like taking a civil service exam; regardless of how many spots they leave, exam scores are the first threshold.

If they can’t outperform you, there’s nothing more to say, and if the scores are similar, considering external factors is only human.

As Miss Bai Zhi indicated, the Xu Family already sacrificed a lot for this.

Even Li Mumu herself, during her life, was a public martyr.

If such a good child is unreliable and not cultivated, whom will you rely on?

Will you rely on those who chant morality and justice, yet can’t even get started and cultivate into Heretical Paths with textbooks?

Nevertheless, don’t fear the unlikely, worry about the improbable.

Li Mumu was utterly worried, with numerous things she wanted to say.

But here, it was genuinely hard for her to speak.

After contemplating for a few minutes with her eyes closed, she slept beside Wang Yunxiao.

A silent night.

Whether due to Miss Bai Zhi’s arrival or under the pressure of her Divine Status, even Dreamland became calm and tranquil.

On this night, it was rare for Li Mumu not to stay up late; she went to bed early and experienced a very sweet night’s sleep.

At five in the morning, she suddenly sat up in bed, contemplating that as a junior, she should find some tasks to do, to avoid being seen as someone who only eats and doesn’t work.

When she entered the living room, she found that Bai Zhi had already prepared breakfast.

Wang Yunxiao had also gotten up early and went for a run, even taking the dog for a walk.

After breakfast, Bai Zhi said to them, “I might be busy these two days. Please help me take care of Lele.”

You’re letting us take care of a child?

Wang Yunxiao was puzzled.

After such a profound conversation last night, now the next morning, you ask us to take care of a child?

Is this disparity a bit too much?

Bai Zhi smiled and said, “I’m just a woman, it’s not fitting for me to show up openly; you take Lele to the city, and by the way, visit some old friends.”

A woman…

Alright then, whatever you say goes.

Li Mumu, being more attentive, asked, “How should we speak to them when we visit? Should we just say you’ve returned?”

“No need to mention me, just say the great name of Lele: Xu Huange. You don’t need to say much; just get familiar with them and ask for a meet-and-greet gift.”

Bai Zhi lightly grabbed the air, letting a few Red Strings fall.

She handed the Red Strings to Li Mumu and with a gentle smile said, “This way, if Lele ever gets lost, it will be easier to find.”

Easier to find…

Do you even realize what you’re saying?

If this child gets lost, it might shake the entire ground of Tianmen three times.

Bai Zhi smiled slightly, “I was just kidding; you two really shouldn’t lose the child.”

“Absolutely not!”

Wang Yunxiao quickly promised.

“And don’t buy her ice cream, or any other miscellaneous snacks. Eat at whichever home you reach at noon, and return home for dinner, got it?”

“Got it!”

“Also, if someone tries to steal or kidnap the child…”

Bai Zhi glanced at them.

“Take them down on the spot?”

Wang Yunxiao tentatively asked.

“Not quite that extreme.”

Understood, don’t hit too harshly, leave a breath.

After all, we are from a respectable family.
