Protagonist:

Shen Yao

Yu Ze Yun is back!

Faster than expected; Shen Yao hadn't moved yet when Yu Sheng ran over first.

The estrangement of several months melted away with Yu Ze Yun's appearance.

Yu Sheng grabbed Yu Ze Yun's neck with both hands and called out affectionately, "Daddy."

Yu Ze Yun raised his hand to rub Yu Sheng's little head, asking, "Have you been good at home?"

Yu Sheng stuck out his belly and nodded vigorously. "I've been good," many people have praised him.

"I'm back," Yu Ze Yun said, stepping forward to stand beside her, lowering his head slightly with a smile as he reached out to grab Shen Yao's wrist and lead her home.

On the road they often met familiar villagers, who greeted Yu Ze Yun upon seeing him appear.

Even after years of missions, Yu Ze Yun still kept his habit of smiling when meeting people; that face was more mature than before, but also carried a few more touches of worldly smoothness.

"We walked and stopped along the way, and because we kept discovering cultivation techniques, we had to change our destination. Fortunately, the final result was good," for if Sweetwater Village could not accommodate more people or suffered a destructive blow, they would at least have a retreat.

Shen Yao raised an eyebrow and told Yu Ze Yun, who had just returned, about the discovery of multiple cultivation techniques in Sweetwater Village.

"As things stand now, the base will not give up Sweetwater Village for the time being," so the retreat could only be a retreat; they did not need to be as nervous as before.

"That's not bad. With the base taking the initiative, Sweetwater Village's safety will be more assured."

The bodies of the mutant creatures sent back at the village entrance were proof of the base's strength.

Speaking of which, they had once visited the base, but now things were different, and the gap between the two sides would only grow larger.

The family of three soon returned to the farm. Since Yu Sheng's parents and the Shen Family members were still up the mountain harvesting wool, no one was waiting at the doorway.

After putting down the son he had carried all the way and taking a quick hot bath, Yu Ze Yun buried himself in home-cooked food, and his mood, weathered by wind and frost, slowly calmed down.

Going out for a trip, a person also gains growth.

Yu Ze Yun had squeezed into the upper and middle management of Sweetwater Village's force through his own abilities. This time, the base had overridden all opposition to expand territory for Sweetwater Village, so the village's force would likely change as well.

No one was a great philanthropist who worked for nothing. The base valued Sweetwater Village's potential because of the cultivation techniques and had invested considerable resources, so it was only natural that Sweetwater Village should give something back.

Shen Yao spoke of the cultivation techniques she had found. Those for personal use would of course be kept, and those unusable had been copied. Now she took them out to hand to Yu Ze Yun.

Yu Ze Yun also had a copy of a cultivation technique. Considering Shen Yao's wood-type ability, the technique leaned more toward wood-type.

"Wood Escape, Rejuvenation Art, Wood Control Method..." Aside from the four techniques already mastered, this one recorded some rather novel content, even including a sword art.

Qingyuan Sword Art

Using wood-type ability as the foundation, assisted by pure wood long/short swords and hand seals to cast spells.

"Pity it lacks a supporting heart method; otherwise, this sword art would be twice as effective with half the effort."

In order to exchange for more cultivation techniques, Yu Ze Yun had privately promised quite a few benefits.

But eight or nine out of ten things in life go against one's wishes. Their group traveled back and forth for several months, yet actually failed to find a single heart method.

Shen Yao:...

Of course there wouldn't be a heart method. They had avoided the heart method option when distributing them, providing only cultivation techniques to keep the danger within a certain limit.

"This sword art is exquisite and unparalleled. Being able to obtain it is already lucky. How could one be insatiable?"

Yu Ze Yun smiled and nodded. "I was being greedy."

She picked up a dish with chopsticks and placed it in Yu Ze Yun's bowl. "Who isn't greedy?"

Even after passing through so many worlds and seeing countless treasures, Shen Yao would still feel greed.

After eating and drinking their fill, Yu Ze Yun held the son he hadn't seen for several months and returned to the room to rest.

Shen Yao sorted through the packages Yu Ze Yun had brought back. Some were changes of clothes, but most were seeds Yu Ze Yun had brought back.

His wife was a wood-type ability user, so every time Yu Ze Yun went on a mission, he collected as many plant seeds as possible.

These seeds were handed to Shen Yao, who used her ability to catalyze them.

The two cooperated tacitly and, taking the opportunity, discovered quite a few spiritual plants with special effects. Some were sold to the officials, and some they consumed themselves to improve their strength.

Among the seeds Yu Ze Yun brought back this time, spiritual plants accounted for a large proportion.

Shen Yao simply counted them, then took them to the plant room at one side.

A rich earthy smell lingered at the tip of her nose for a long time. Shen Yao casually tossed down the seeds, then green light from her ability appeared at her fingertips, instantly drawing the seeds into it.

Tender green sprouts poked their heads out, taking deep root in the moist soil.

When the color and appearance of these green sprouts changed from tender green to dark green, Shen Yao stopped the ability in her hand.

Squeak—

The room door was pushed open a crack, and Yu Ze Yun stood at the doorway in pajamas, tilting his head.

"These are all mutant plant seeds," not specially collected, but picked up opportunistically after battles.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some were unknown seeds that Yu Ze Yun happened to see and brought back.

"A few are not bad," Shen Yao said, raising her hand to point, then she smiled and left the plant room with Yu Ze Yun.

…………

After closing her eyes and sleeping, as if all the pressure of the past few months had dissipated, Yu Ze Yun felt refreshed and spirited.

Outside the door, Yu Sheng was playing on his beloved little wooden horse.

Shen Yao was temporarily not at the residence; she had to go to the village entrance to handle the logistics Captain Sun had assigned.

Yu Ze Yun poured himself a cup of warm water to drink, then changed his clothes again and picked up Yu Sheng.

Soon, one gentle and one tender voice overlapped and merged, filling the room with warmth.

"How long can you stay this time?" Upon learning of Yu Ze Yun's return, Father Yu and Mother Yu had just come down from the mountain and rushed to the farm in impatience.

"I don't know yet, but Sweetwater Village is expanding, and the related missions won't leave the town's scope," Yu Ze Yun said, drinking a bowl of chicken soup; the raw materials were provided by Father Yu and Mother Yu, and were mutated animals.

"Staying near home is fine. The base has cleared many mutated creatures from the mountain, and we follow behind to pick up bargains—not only is it not dangerous, but we can also make some money," Father Yu said, also mentioning Yu Xingye, saying they had been looked after by someone, and this trip up the mountain had yielded an unexpectedly good harvest.

Yu Xingye was the connection between the Yu Family and the Shen Family; both families were enthusiastic about going up the mountain, first because they could indeed make money, and second because such opportunities were few.

At the very front were the base troops, with strong combat power and abundant weapons; all the dangerous mutated creatures in the mountain forest had been successfully slaughtered by them, and it was absolutely impossible for them to run to the rear area to run amok.

The mountain forests around Sweetwater Village were not dense, and the base troops wouldn't be delayed for too long. After glancing at Yu Ze Yun, Father Yu and Mother Yu returned to the embrace of the mountain forest, afraid that if they went too late, they wouldn't gather many mutated creatures.

Yu Ze Yun became the most idle person in the family; apart from resting, he spent his time with the child, thoroughly enjoying the treatment of a househusband.

Such busyness continued for half a month.

As the base troops that had swept the mountain forests around Sweetwater Village clean left, the first to disband was the logistics unit.

Shen Yao, because of her wood-type ability, was kept until the last by Captain Sun through the back door, and her work changed from catalyzing seeds to condensing Wood Condensing Pearls.

The mutated creatures sent by the base troops were too many, mainly plants.

Tall and sturdy mutated plants were cut into sections of various sizes and lengths and sent back to Sweetwater Village, then handed over to different departments according to grade.

The raw materials Shen Yao received were scraps; although the Wood Condensing Pearls she condensed were pure, their quantity was not large due to material limitations.

Shen Yao had no dissatisfaction with this; she finished the work she should do, then collected her reward and left the village entrance.

Yu Ze Yun pointed to the few mutated plants Shen Yao had brought back and said, "Is this the official attitude?"

Shen Yao raised an eyebrow, "Taking so many benefits from Sweetwater Village, whether ordinary person or ability user, the official focuses on appeasement."

At least the reward given this time was not stingy, enough to offset Shen Yao's busyness over the past half month.

Yu Sheng came out of the room unsteadily, rubbing his eyes and calling for Daddy.

With Yu Ze Yun spending more time at home, Yu Sheng's first reaction upon waking was to look for Daddy, making Shen Yao unable to help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

Shaking his head helplessly, Yu Ze Yun lowered his head and bent over to hug Yu Sheng into his arms, and the clear, pleasant child's voice came from Yu Sheng's mouth.

Shen Yao simply took advantage of the early time to directly use a technique to refine the abilities from inside these mutated plants; fist-sized Wood Condensing Pearls appeared in Shen Yao's palm, and until the technique ended, the mutated plants on the ground turned into powder with a light touch.

The hollowed-out mutated plant powder only served as fertilizer; Shen Yao casually cast a Wood Control Technique, rolled up the powder, and threw it into the fields not far away, while she held the Wood Condensing Pearls in her arms and turned back into the house.

Yu Ze Yun played with Yu Sheng in the living room; Yu Sheng treated Yu Ze Yun's body as a large cat climbing frame, constantly raising his hands and feet to climb up.

Shen Yao stuffed a fist-sized Wood Condensing Pearl into Yu Sheng's arms.

Yu Sheng:... Huh?

Blinking his eyes, Yu Sheng stared at the crystal ball emitting green light outward, not forgetting to squint his eyes and rub his cheeks against it.

Warm!

After all, he's a child, full of curiosity and unable to distinguish the value of items.

With such a novel toy, Yu Sheng turned his head, left Yu Ze Yun, crossed his small legs, and busied himself with the Wood Condensing Pearl in his hands.

Yu Ze Yun looked, stood up, and faced Shen Yao coming down the stairs, "Tested?"

Wood Condensing Pearls contain pure wood-type ability; for the body, nothing is gentler.

Even ordinary people can carry it with them for long-term nurturing; it's just that Yu Sheng is too young, not possessing an ability or about to awaken, simply placing the Wood Condensing Pearl would do more harm than good.

"Little Sheng has a shadow of wood-type ability in his body," this was the result detected by machine when Shen Yao used Captain Sun's connection at the village entrance back then.

Of course, Shen Yao had been clear about this result since Yu Sheng was born; the system was still somewhat useful in this regard, it's just that there had never been a suitable opportunity to speak of it before, and now was just right.

The husband and wife focused their gazes on Yu Sheng, who was seriously studying the Wood Condensing Pearl.

Yu Sheng was ignorant and unaware; a child's energy is easily distracted; at this moment, all his attention was attracted by the Wood Condensing Pearl, and he simply didn't notice his father and mother's gazes.

When sleeping at night, the Wood Condensing Pearl held in Yu Sheng's arms had shrunk by a circle.

If observed carefully, one could see the ability inside the Wood Condensing Pearl was dissipating and being absorbed into Yu Sheng's body at a specific frequency.

"Sleep well."

"Goodnight, Mommy."

Pulling up the quilt beneath him and covering him well, Shen Yao raised her hand and patted Yu Sheng's belly.

Yu Ze Yun stood behind Shen Yao, both hands lightly resting on Shen Yao's shoulders, "Let's go back to the room."

Shen Yao hummed in agreement, touched Yu Sheng's cheek again, then turned off the light and left.

In the following period of time, Sweetwater Village's development changed day by day.

The surrounding mountain forests had been disinfected and treated, followed by construction using local materials; the ability users originally from Sweetwater Village were arranged to patrol, to prevent any fish that slipped through the net from appearing.

Father Yu and Mother Yu and the Shen Family wedding guests took on missions again; for this, everyone was busy to the point of not touching the ground, and no longer paid attention to matters at home.

On the base's side, a portion of the population divided by early voting was transported to Sweetwater Village by vehicle; official personnel came with them.

In the temporarily stationed tents, personnel were dense, and conflicts occurred from time to time.

However, as more and more buildings were completed, the environment and atmosphere were improving; moreover, the cultivation technique that had disappeared earlier reappeared in the world, attracting the attention of a large portion of people, and by a twist of fate, let Sweetwater Village get through this chaotic period.

By the time Shen Yao was in the mood to look back, Sweetwater Village's appearance had been completely renewed.

A town several times larger than before rose from the ground, and people's lives were prospering day by day.

The official ability users formed patrol teams, appearing at fixed times and points on various roads and streets every day, ensuring personnel safety while also preventing various dangers that might appear in advance.

Yu Sheng carried a small schoolbag and, under Shen Yao's drop-off and pick-up, began his journey of studying.

He attended a special class opened by the official; the children inside all had abilities, some had already awakened, and some were still precipitating.

Yu Sheng belonged to the children still precipitating; he was young with great potential, and as soon as he entered school, he received the official's attention; if it weren't for Shen Yao and Yu Ze Yun not wanting to pull up seedlings to help them grow, his coursework would be even more now.

Yu Ze Yun was arranged into Sweetwater Village's patrol team because of his excellent performance during the mission; this also led to their original residence at the farm having to be moved, moving into a residential area provided by the official.

"Go, listen to the teacher."

"Goodbye, Mommy."

Yu Sheng waved his small chubby hand, turned his head, and ran into the school with a thumping sound.

Shen Yao saw her son off, then turned back to the farm. She now had an official arrangement for a position, responsible for the fields in the farm and catalyzing the cultivation of all crops there.

After they moved out, the residence became an academy; its rooms turned into research rooms, and many research personnel from the base worked here.

Now both sides were colleagues; although small frictions occasionally arose in communication, overall it was still very good.

The system urged the Host to take out the Heart Method and release it, so that the martial force of humans in this world could rise another floor.

【No, steps too big, foundation unstable; current progress is just right.】

Shen Yao refused; the Heart Method was the foundation of cultivation, the root of all arts, and once released it would mean this world officially entered the Cultivation Era.

Every Cultivation Era had experienced a time of darkness without sky or day; Shen Yao did not want to give up her stabilized life for possible generous rewards.

【Don't forget our purpose for transmigrating; Yu Sheng needs a stable environment to grow up, I like a calm life,】 why actively destroy such days, 【this world is mostly ordinary people, ordinary people are the easiest group to be ignored; they should not become nameless cannon fodder.】

The main character of a story is always memorable, but the reason a story is complete is that it relies on countless ordinary people; ordinary daily life is not bad, and becoming an ordinary person is not so terrible.
