“Hehe, cease fire! Cease fire!” I quickly stepped forward to defuse the situation and glanced at Tianmei, making the six people pause, as if they’d realized something. I smiled and said, “We’re all family, so why fight? How long have we been traveling?”
“Only four days. I wonder where the madam has gone?” Mo Shuihen said, furrowing his brow.
“Oh!” It was only four days, indicating the time tunnel doesn’t change time and is likely related to this body, unlike my last journey where it was just my soul. With a carefree smile and a wave of my hand, I said, “Let’s go home!” Everyone exchanged smiles.

“Alright, be good! Don’t be angry!” Pinching Huan Ming’s cheeks, she lightly tapped his head. “How can you bully your brother? How’s your sword technique? Be careful or your father will spank you!”
“I’ve already mastered it!” Huan Ming patting his chest confidently.
