A week had passed since Bai Wenlan's death.
Mu Lian could not make a proper funeral for Bai Wenlan because after her last breath, Bai Wenlan's body turned into a very bright light then entered Mu Lian's body.
Mu Haocun said that it was indeed what happened if Bai Wenlan was willing to grant Mu Lian one wish.
And Mu Hoacun said that Mu Lian should immediately realize what Mu Lian had thought. Because if not, the tennis ball-sized light will grant Mu Lian's request arbitrarily.
So, Mu Lian could only put aside her grief over the death of Bai Wenlan, the most gentle creature Mu Lian had ever met, and start the project of making her dream home.
Mu Lian divided her time into two, namely doing her activities in the real world with others in the morning and after dinner, Mu Lian would accompany Xiaobai until morning.
In other words, Mu Lian was now living in the real world and the pseudo-world. Actually Mu Lian only accompanied Xiaobai who could not sleep alone.
In addition, Xiaobai felt the existence of his mother inside Mu Lian, so the tiny creature did not want to be far from Mu Lian.
Ling Zizhou, Master Yi, Meimei and Meng Zhi realized the change in Mu Lian's attitude. They knew that there was a secret that Mu Lian and Mu Haocun had to guard even if it was from themselves. The four of them valued Mu Lian and Mu Haocun so much that they did not ask anything.
Hearing Mu Lian get a very valuable object only all four to be unable to say anything for a full day. Moreover, hearing that Mu Lian had met the Baize, it could masti stand up!
Ling Zizhou, Master Yi, Meimei and Meng Zhi only learned that Mu Lian had obtained the most precious object in this world when the girl asked how their own version of the dream house was.
All four of them, including Mu Haocun still remembered that time. Mu Lian gathered them together in one place, namely in Mu Lian's room and then put forward a proposal that made their hearts touched.
["I know it's too late but after spending time with you, I realize that because of you I'm strong enough to live in this world. You continue to support me whenever and in any form.
The sad feeling of not being able to see my family again was not so painful because of you. Thanksmeme it...
From this moment on, I, Mu Lian officially became the inhabitant of this world. And because there's so much I don't know, honestly, I really need you.
And somehow, destiny led me to this most precious thing, which I would keep despite risking my own life.
With this treasure, I intend to make a home for us - I mean, ahem. What I want to say is.. Will you stay with me adventuring through the beauty of this world? With me?"]
It was the most unforgettable experience for Mu Haocun, Ling Zizhou, Master Yi, Meimei and Meng Zhi. Of course they accepted the proposal that Mu Lian had put forward.
They were already one family, wherever Mu Lian went, they would follow. With that one heartfelt episode, everyone took part in the house building project with great enthusiasm.
Mu Haocun, Ling Zizhou, Master Yi, Meimei and Meng Zhi considered what facilities would need to be added in order to make their home comfortable.
Mu Lian drew a simple plan, noting the facilities that needed to be added, as well as the houses that would be built on request from each individual.
Then Mu Lian began to imagine everything she had written in her mind. Unknowingly, Mu Lian made the scenery around the house resemble the scenery around the Eastern Ufuk Valley and the mountains that Mu Lian had been through on her journey towards the capital.
Not to forget, Mu Lian added beautiful ponds so that his house looks like the city of Venice in Italy. For some reason, Mu Lian was delighted to add the feel of water in the surrounding environment.
During the week Mu Lian was struggling with her plans, Mu Lian finally almost finished her house construction plan.
"Lian'er, don't forget to create a beautiful and magnificent reception hall. The room is very important because it looks like the 'face' of our house" Meimei said.
That afternoon, while waiting for dinner to be ready, Mu Lian checked back in case something was to be added.
Sure enough, when Meimei came peering over Mu Lian's shoulder, Meimei just remembered that.
"Hmm, Ah Zhou needs a training ground," Master Yi said suddenly.
"Ah, what about the security system?" timpal Meng Zhi's.
Mu Lian's hand stopped taking notes. His eyes looked for an empty place to put down the facilities Meimei, Master Yi and Meng Zhi had just mentioned.
The problem is that there is no longer an empty place to describe these facilities! Mu Lian massaged his forehead.
"What if the reception hall and the security system were placed inside one of these pagodas you made?
For the training ground, you should eliminate some buildings to serve as a large field. Lian'er could put it on one of the mountains.
One over. Because later this house is made from the most valuable objects in the world, it can actually be used as a place to cultivate some herbal plants. Hows it? Lian'er's interested in trying to plant it here?" said Mu Haocun.
"Alright," said Mu Lian at last.
Mu Lian emptied the Northeast and Southwest mountains as a training ground. In addition to the training ground, the vast field can be used as a picnic or a place for leisurely walks.
Who will fill those buildings? Take for example the smallest building, namely the building along the coast of the Northeast and Southwest rivers.
For example, An Xi Xiang. The building has two main buildings consisting of bedrooms, a workspace, a room to receive guests, and a lounge. Not to mention the two buildings that serve as bathrooms.
That one building alone can be occupied by two families. While Mu Lian's group only consisted of six people.
Maybe plus the children of Jinan Village who will temporarily stay with them. If in the future there are those who want to go to pursue their goals, then welcome.
"What if it's like this?" mu Lian said with hopeful eyes.
Everyone was silently staring at Mu Lian's 'denah. The problem is, they can only identify the shape of the box as a building, the round shape as a pagoda as well as the control room and the shape of the winding lines that connect between the pagodas as a river.
Seeing the confusion on the faces of the five people, Mu Lian also showed her notes about the addition of the Lobby and security in addition to the guard post.
After that, everyone could only nod. Everyone thought that the important thing Mu Lian had recorded all the important points so as not to forget during the manufacturing process.
"Ehem, where are the mountains anyway?" meng Zhi asked because in Mu Lian's records, there was no mention of the mountains.
"Oh, the mountains are the pattern of these green stripes. I left a beginner gym and a professional gym because the gym also includes a training ground. It's okay, right?" mu Lian replied while looking towards Mu Haocun.
However the ones responding to Mu Lian's words were Ling Zizhou, Master Yi, Meimei and Meng Zhi. Since first hearing the explanation of what is a gym, the four are so enthusiastic and want to immediately try all the equipment.
Mu Lian had just tried the basic equipment in the gym but because she had observed in close proximity, Mu Lian could imagine all the equipment in the gym.
Everything Mu Lian had noted, just that it could not be seen with the eyes because the plan Mu Lian had made was very simple and did not show the details like what Mu Lian had recorded.
"Lian'er, are you sure you're going to use the cart form as a form of transportation?" ask Meimei.
Everyone stared at the picture of the 'cart' Meimei meant with a complicated look. Even so, no one said anything because according to them, the idea of 2 in 1 (a means of transportation doubles as a house) put forward by Mu Lian was very brilliant.
...(1)...
...(2)...
Overall, the wagon is shaped like in figure 1. It looks simple and a little unique because what is often used as a magical transportation is a transportation in the form of a stretcher, gondola or even just in the form of an assembly ship.
"of course. I want to start a pill business so I will make this cart my place of transaction" replied Mu Lian.
When viewed in figure 2, Mu Lian will use the back of the cart as a place to buy and sell. All the pills he had made would be displayed on the display case.
If not mistaken, the number of pills he currently possessed as well as those hidden by Mu Haocun, were sufficient to start his business.
Mu Lian stayed to find a way to persuade Mu Haocun to 'hand over' the pill he had hidden.
The guard post is actually two, namely the one at the official guard post and someone who serves as a storefront guard.
Why is it that the person sitting on the face of the wagon is not referred to as a 'driver'? Because the person who controls the cart is the person in the control/control room, namely on the initial plan that has a circular shape.
"Grandfather, this is already very good. How about we start tomorrow?" said Mu Haocun. Mu Lian nodded then tidied up the papers because Ling Zizhou had already called for dinner.
The next day, Mu Lian stood in the middle of the yard of the house of one of Jinan's residents. The house is located not far from the home of Mr. Xiaoman's relatives.
This was where Mu Lian would make a wagon as well as a house. The one seen accompanying Mu Lian was only Mu Haocun because Mu Lian needed a quiet place to fully concentrate.
"Grandpa remind me once again. Clear your mind and think only about what is on the floor plan and the notes you make. If it feels too heavy, divide it into four winds. For example, today Lian'er built all the facilities in the Northeast direction or the easiest for you how," Mu Haocun said.
"Well," said Mu Lian.
After all, Mu Lian would build a place that only she could find in a fantasy world. Mu Lian would not be able to do it without the help of Bai Wenlan.
Even so, Mu Lian knew for sure that the journey for the place to be realized would be very long.
