The Longevity Family: Starting from the Foundation Establishment Ancestor
Chapter 415 Retirement Life Begins with Fishing
After a night of drinking, Han Mu slept until the sun was high in the sky. This was the most restful sleep he had ever had since he began cultivating. He didn't have to worry about enemy attacks or thinking about breaking through his cultivation level, and he was completely relaxed.
Han Mu stepped out of the room. The Holy Domain was peaceful. The clansmen were busy in the streets, and the children were chasing and playing in the alleys, their laughter clear and melodious. In the distance, the clanging sound of blacksmiths hammering metal could be heard. The blacksmiths were making doors and windows for the newly built houses.
"My lord, you're awake." Zhou Meng walked over with a bowl of hot porridge. "You must have drunk quite a bit last night. Here's some porridge to warm your stomach."
Han Mu took the bowl of porridge, took a sip, and found the porridge to be warm, soft, and slightly sweet, which was very comforting.
"Where are Lei Di and the others?" Han Mu asked.
"They went back to their respective territories, saying they would tell their people the good news that the extraterrestrial demons had been destroyed," Zhou Meng said.
"Alright, let them go back and visit." Han Mu nodded. Lei Di and the other three had followed him in battle for many years, and it was time for them to go back and reunite with their families.
After finishing his porridge, Han Mu strolled around the Holy Domain. He realized that it had been a long time since he had taken such a leisurely walk. In the past, he was either cultivating or fighting, and rarely had any free time.
Upon reaching the back mountain of the sacred domain, Han Mu saw a stream with crystal-clear water and several plump fish swimming in it. He suddenly had an idea, found a bamboo pole, tied a fishing line to it, and sat on a rock by the stream to fish.
"My lord, what's going on?" Han Li's voice came through the communication talisman, filled with surprise.
"Fishing, haven't you ever seen that before?" Han Mu laughed.
"I have seen him before, but for a dignified and transcendent being like you to be fishing here, isn't that a bit much?" Han Li hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped himself.
"What's wrong with that? Can't a transcendent being fish? What's the point of cultivation if not to live a peaceful life?" Han Mu said.
Han Li fell silent. He felt that Han Mu's words made sense, but he still felt that something was not quite right.
Han Mu fished all morning and had a good catch, catching seven or eight big fish. He carried the fish basket back to the Holy Land, asked the kitchen to cook a pot of fish soup, and invited Zhou Meng, Luo Feng and Han Li. The four of them sat together, drinking the fish soup and chatting about everyday things.
"My lord, do you think there will be more enemies in the future?" Luo Feng asked.
"Maybe yes, maybe no, but even if it happens, there's no need to be afraid. We'll deal with whatever comes our way," Han Mu said.
"The Lord is right. With the Lord here, we have nothing to fear," Zhou Meng said with a smile.
"Don't think too highly of me. I've just lived a few more years than you and experienced a few more things," Han Mu said, shaking his head.
"Your Majesty is too modest. If it weren't for you, we would have died at the hands of the Lord of Chaos long ago," Luo Feng said.
Han Mu smiled but didn't reply. He knew he had indeed done a lot, but these were things he should do. As the patriarch of the Han family and the guardian of the Chaos Sea, he had an inescapable responsibility.
In the days that followed, Han Mu retired and spent his days fishing, drinking tea, and occasionally giving guidance to younger generations in their cultivation. He lived a leisurely and carefree life.
That day, Han Mu was fishing by the stream when he suddenly sensed a faint energy fluctuation coming from the edge of the Chaos Sea. He put down his fishing rod and frowned as he looked into the distance.
"My lord, what's wrong?" Han Li asked.
"There's some movement at the edge of the Chaos Sea. I'll go check it out." After saying that, Han Mu's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.
Han Mu arrived at the edge of the Chaos Sea and discovered a tiny crack in the space there. A strange aura emanated from the crack, somewhat similar to that of the extraterrestrial demons, but not entirely the same.
"Is something else coming?" Han Mu frowned. He raised his hand and waved his hand, using his transcendent power to seal the crack, which quickly disappeared.
"My lord, what is this?" Han Li asked.
"I don't know, but it's definitely not a good thing," Han Mu said, a vague unease creeping into his heart. The words the Heavenly Demon Lord spoke before his death echoed in his ears: there were even stronger beings beyond the chaos, it seemed to be true.
After Han Mu returned to the Holy Domain, he told Zhou Meng and Luo Feng about the matter, and both of them looked rather solemn after hearing it.
"My lord, could it be that there are still remnants of the extraterrestrial demons?" Zhou Meng asked.
"It doesn't seem like it. This aura is different from that of the extraterrestrial demons; it's more like another kind of creature." Han Mu shook his head.
"Then what should we do? Should we make preparations in advance?" Luo Feng asked.
"Being prepared is necessary, but there's no need to be too nervous. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. We've even defeated the Heavenly Demon Lord, so what are we afraid of?" Han Mu said.
The two felt that Han Mu's words made sense, and their worries lessened considerably.
Another month passed, and the Chaotic Sea was calm and the crack did not reappear. Han Mu's life returned to peace, and he continued to fish and drink tea every day, living a very comfortable life.
That day, Han Mu was dozing by the stream when he was suddenly awakened by a commotion. He opened his eyes and saw Luo Feng running over excitedly.
"My lord, great news! Great news!" Luo Feng exclaimed.
"What's the good news? You've struck gold?" Han Mu asked lazily.
"I'm happier than if I'd found a treasure! Zhou Meng's wife gave birth to a big, healthy boy!" Luo Feng laughed.
"Oh, that's certainly good news." Han Mu stood up and followed Luo Feng to visit Zhou Meng.
Zhou Meng's house was surrounded by people who came to offer their congratulations. Zhou Meng held the baby in swaddling clothes, smiling from ear to ear. When he saw Han Mu arrive, he quickly brought the child over to show Han Mu.
"My lord, look, this kid looks like me," Zhou Meng said smugly.
"I think he looks more like his mother," Han Mu said with a smile after glancing at the baby.
"My lord, please give the child a name," Zhou Meng said.
Han Mu thought for a moment and said, "Let's name him Zhou An. I hope he has a peaceful life."
"Zhou An, a good name. Thank you for bestowing this name upon me, my lord." Zhou Meng was overjoyed.
Looking at the baby in the swaddling clothes, Han Mu was filled with emotion. He recalled that when he first transmigrated to this world, the Han family was still a poor and declining family. Now it had become the number one power in the Chaos Sea, and he himself had grown from a Foundation Establishment cultivator to a Transcendent. It all felt like a dream.
"My lord, what are you thinking about?" Luo Feng asked when he saw Han Mu lost in thought.
"I'm wondering if, when I get old, I'll be able to watch the younger generation grow up healthy and strong, and then close my eyes in peace," Han Mu said.
"My lord, you're still young, why are you talking about being old?" Luo Feng said with a smile.
"Yes, I'm still young, and I have a lot to do." Han Mu smiled, looking up at the sky with a determined light in his eyes. No matter how many enemies he faces in the future, he will protect this land and the people he cares about.
