Getting married to Mo Yi was the top priority in Bai Lin’s heart. So, everything else had to take a backseat.
The red candles burned all night until dawn.
Mo Yi didn’t know if there was a concept of a honeymoon in this ancient world, but he and his partner truly enjoyed their time together.
Afterward, Bai Lin did ask him about the earthquake, but Mo Yi said it wasn’t easy to explain, so Bai Lin stopped asking.
Mo Yi was deeply touched. Indeed, his partner was as considerate as ever, never putting him in a difficult position.
Because of Bai Lin’s outstanding performance in the imperial examination, he received the Emperor’s appreciation and was given a two-month vacation. But when the time came, he still needed to return to the capital for duty.
The journey would take a long time, so during this period, Bai Lin naturally wanted to enjoy the blissful time with Mo Yi.
However, while Bai Lin and Mo Yi were enjoying themselves, the Bai family, upon hearing that Bai Lin had achieved the top score, was already frightened.
Previously, when they caused trouble at the Mo family’s house, they happened to encounter the county magistrate. Even the village head, Bai Tiezhu, who always favored their family, changed his attitude, no longer showing them any favor and occasionally making things difficult for them.
After this earthquake incident, when the young master of the Mo family achieved great merit, many people mocked their family.
They said that their daughter, Bai Rouya, could have married a capable and extraordinary man, but she herself was not capable and ran away from marriage, not destined to enjoy a comfortable life.
Because of this incident, Bai Rouya was greatly affected.
She thought she was getting a second chance at life and should have taken advantage of it by not marrying into the Mo family anda fool.
But who could tell her why the fool from the Mo family changed, and this time, the earthquake was avoided because of that Mo Yi.
More importantly, her cousin unexpectedly became the top scholar!
When Bai Rouya died in her previous life, she had no relatives and wanted to find out if her own brother could be relied upon, but she could never find him, let alone know who the top scholar was!
Thinking of this, Bai Rouya regretted deeply, but it was all too late.

It could be said that the entire Bai family remained quiet as chickens, fearing that Bai Lin would come to trouble them.

Facing the current Bai Lin, Bai Laoda’s family didn’t dare to resist. As for the houses and fields to be reclaimed, Bai Lin directly sold them to the village head. The money obtained was then handed over to the Mo couple.
Seeing this, Bai Laoda was both angry and resentful, but Bai Lin remained calm and composed.
Bai Laoda was greedy, having previously rented out his own house. Now that Bai Lin’s house was taken back, they had nowhere to go for the time being.
However, after struggling for most of the day and temporarily settling down, they received news from Bai Kaicheng’s side.
Because of owing money to a brothel, Bai Kaicheng was detained there to do hard labor. What could a mere scholar do? In the capital, which prestigious shop didn’t have some background?
Bai Laoda knew about this matter and naturally became anxious. So, the Bai family was once again in chaos.
“Bai Lin, did you have someone send back Bai Kaicheng’s news?” Later, when Wu Zhengqing came to find Bai Lin and the two were chatting casually, he couldn’t help but ask.
Bai Lin nodded, looked at Mo Yi who was happily eating snacks beside him, and handed over a cup of hot tea with intimacy, not hiding anything.
“Indeed, no matter what, he’s still family. After learning about my cousin’s news, I couldn’t just keep it from my uncle.”
Wu Zhengqing was astonished to hear this, realizing that Bai was indeed formidable. For some matters, the evildoers had their own ways of torment, and for revenge, there was no need for them to act themselves. Some people just dug their own graves.
And as expected, Bai Laoda scraped together enough money and went to the capital to redeem Bai Kaicheng.
Wang Shi and Bai Rouya insisted on accompanying him. Wang Shi was worried about her son, while Bai Rouya wanted to see the bustling capital and perhaps find a young nobleman there.
Afterward, Bai Lin and Mo Yi didn’t bother with these matters. Anyway, their vacation was almost over, so they hit the road.
Mo Yi spent his days in the mansion, living carefree and happily. After two years, when Bai Lin’s foundation was stable, he brought the Mo couple and Mo Anan over.
Bai Lin’s outstanding abilities, coupled with his rare loyalty in the eyes of the emperor, made his rise through the ranks extremely smooth, as he refrained from political infighting.
As the female protagonist, Mo Anan gradually revealed her talent in business. With Bai Lin’s assistance, her career became stronger and stronger.
Mo Anan later married Wu Zhengqing, and the two were very compatible, leading a happy life together.
To Mo Yi’s surprise, the Mo couple had another child within two years, a pair of twins, and they even specially asked Bai Lin to name them.
The two little ones adored Mo Yi since childhood, following him wherever he went. Mo Yi felt like he had gained two cubs, making his days even happier.
Occasionally, they would hear news about the Bai family, such as Bai Kaicheng being redeemed but falling back into gambling addiction. The old couple did everything they could to help him out.
Meanwhile Bai Rouya, couldn’t stand her useless brother anymore and eloped with a wealthy young man from the capital, claiming to be a concubine. For a while, she lived in luxury with gold and silver.
But after some time, there was no news of her, and later it was learned that she offended the young master’s new favorite and was sold off. As for where she ended up, no one knew.
As for Mo Yi, he continued to live happily ever after.
With Bai Lin’s increasing official position, he also gained more power. Originally, he just wanted to rise above others and control his own destiny.
But Mo Yi told him that he hoped he could do good deeds and benefit the people.
For Mo Yi’s sake, Bai Lin was willing to be a good official, willing to be a wise minister who would go down in history.
And he achieved this goal. After the old emperor’s death, Bai Lin assisted the new emperor and brought many changes to Great Xia.
Not only did he make the people’s lives more prosperous, but the status of men, wives, and women was also significantly improving.
Hundreds of years later, people still speak in awe of Prime Minister Bai’s countless achievements.
Of course, equally celebrated is the relationship between him and his partner. Despite being two men, they loved and supported each other throughout their lives.
It is said that Prime Minister Bai was deeply devoted and wrote numerous cheesy poems expressing his affection for his partner.
Through the Prime Minister’s poetry, people learned that his partner was the warm sun, the graceful moon, the green mountains, and the trees—his sanctuary.
Historical anecdotes also recount how Prime Minister Bai, to express his love for his partner, not only composed poetry and painted but also personally washed his hands and cooked soup for him during breaks. He even took up needle and thread to embroider handkerchiefs and sachets as small gifts.
Initially dismissed as mere gossip, these anecdotes gained credibility when archaeologists discovered the tomb of Prime Minister Bai and his partner. Among the burial items were indeed handkerchiefs and pouches, with signatures so convincing that people couldn’t believe Prime Minister Bai had embroidered them himself.
However, Prime Minister Bai was known for his excellent handwriting and painting skills. The quality of the embroidery… well, who could tell if it depicted mandarin ducks or just regular ducks!
Having happily lived through a lifetime, Mo Yi didn’t linger in the system space this time but eagerly moved on to the next world.
When he opened his eyes again, Mo Yi found himself surrounded by dense forests. He took a deep breath, enjoying the fresh scent of trees.
He still loved the smell of nature, but he wondered where his partner was. Just as he took a step forward, he stumbled over a stone.
Luckily, now that his luck had improved, he didn’t stumble. Mo Yi staggered for a moment and picked up the stone that had tripped him.
The stone was pitch black, emitting a unique luster that inexplicably attracted Mo Yi. Upon closer inspection, he sensed a considerable amount of energy contained within it. It seemed to be a valuable find.
“Black crystal! You found a black crystal!”
Suddenly, a cry of astonishment came from nearby. Mo Yi looked up and noticed two people who had somehow gotten very close without him noticing.
One was tall and looked like a European with golden short hair and a square face. He had a muscular physique, indicating he was likely a strength-based individual.
The other had brown hair and a pair of captivating peach blossom eyes, with a beautiful appearance. However, the high-pitched tone of his exclamation made Mo Yi’s ears uncomfortable.
Strangely, neither of them emitted any scent. Upon closer inspection, Mo Yi realized he also had no scent at all.
Perhaps people in this world simply didn’t have a scent, or maybe they used some special treatment to eliminate it.
Their clothing also looked peculiar, somewhat resembling military uniforms, but not belonging to any era Mo Yi had experienced. Instead, they exuded a futuristic vibe.
If anything, they bore a striking resemblance to the combat suits Mo Yi had seen in sci-fi movies. Black with silver patterns, equipped with various gear.
Judging from their expressions, they seemed harmless and somewhat familiar, likely his teammates.
Without accessing the memories of the original host yet, Mo Yi subtly raised the stone in his hand for them to see.
“Black crystal, it really is a black crystal! Mo Yi, you’re amazing! With this, advancing to the next level will be a breeze,” exclaimed the shorter youth, gazing at the stone in Mo Yi’s hand with envy.
Hearing his name being called, Mo Yi nodded, acknowledging the praise. It seemed indeed to be a valuable find, and he felt fortunate to have stumbled upon it.
Feeling pleased, Mo Yi intended to pocket the black stone.
Observing this, Luo Naimei, the shorter youth, felt his eyelids twitch. In the past, whenever he showed envy, that fool would always give in and hand over the item. What’s going on today? Wasn’t his envy clear enough earlier?
With this thought in mind, Luo Naimei adopted a pitiful expression and said, “Mo Yi, I’ve never seen a black crystal before. Could you please let me have a look?”
lmao here comes the next cannon fodder~ thank you for the chapters!
Finally, a zombie apocalypse world?
Instantly recognizes the thing but has never seen it before?? That’s a fake white lotus, right? But black crystals full of energy and no scent… Curious~
