Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 1 – I'll Keep Playing With You
Tang Xiu, where did you hide the money? Eject now! ”
“Tang Xiu, even if you need money, you can't steal it! As they say, ‘Stole needles when young, steal gold when old’. You can't make a habit of stealing, or your life will end. ”
“Tang Xiu, I'm sure you owe me three thousand dollars in tuition. Are you planning on taking the money to pay for it? ”
[TN: Using dollars in place of yuan for better flow.]
About a dozen people surrounded Tang Xiu and spoke nonstop. Doubt and disgust filled their eyes, and their tone was filled with impatience.
Tang Xiu's face was swollen red, and signs of blood could be seen as he bit his lips. His eyes became foggy, but he firmly said with his neck raised, “I didn't steal money!”
“Shangwen, Meiyun, you've seen Xiuer grow! He was always honest from a young age, his studies and personality were always amazing, and he never lied! Since he said he did not steal money, then a loss of three thousand dollars definitely has nothing to do with him, “ Su Lingyun said. She begged the middle-aged man and woman in a house as she hugged her son tightly.
“Lingyun, we never said Xiu stole money. We just think he hid those three thousand dollars maybe because he wanted you not to worry too much. ”The middle-aged man turned his head to the side. He did not even dare to look straight at Su Lingyun.
“His studies and personality have always been amazing? Hoho. Indeed, before your son entered Starcity Secondary School, his studies and personality were amazing, but after impressively staying there for only one year, his grades dropped dramatically. He placed first in the entire class if you count down, and if it wasn't for your request, your son would probably be expelled, right? “The middle-aged woman said coldly. He completely ignored Su Lingyun's nearly desperate eyes.
After hearing his younger brother, Su Shangwen, and his brother-in-law, Zhang Meiyun, Su Lingyun's complexion turned pale. His eyes also became dim and lifeless, but after seeing his son in his arms, he had no choice but to force his courage and once again sought to defend his son's innocence.
However, this time, even before Su Lingyun had a chance to speak, he was interrupted by two sharp voices.
“Auntie, don't protect Tang Xiu anymore. You can defend him for a while, but you can't defend him for the rest of his life. There are only so many people in the family. You're saying he didn't steal three thousand dollars, so that means the money just flew away? ”
“Auntie, the reason why we suspect Tang Xiu is because he is most likely the one who will steal in this house. In your eyes, naturally Tang Xiu was the nicest. But you also know the terrible things he did at school this year. Copying homework, cheating on exams, starting fights. . . As his cousin, I can't even lift my head proudly at school. ”
The people who interrupted Su Lingyun were Su Shangwen and Zhang Meiyun's sons and daughters. If someone said the words Su Shangwen and Zhang Meiyun were spoken with somewhat empathy and that they knew to soften their tone, then the sons and daughters obviously did not.
“Su Yaning, Su Xiangfei, you two are talking nonsense and making false accusations!” Tang Xiu almost yelled at his throat.
“Shangwen, Meiyun, please, don't make things difficult for him! If the money cannot be found, then act like I borrowed it! You also know since the car accident a year ago, he's been a little confused and can't agitate. If something really happened to her, I wouldn't be able to continue my own life! ” When bullied by his younger brother's family, the tears that fell from Su Lingyun's eyes were akin to pearls.
Talking those words made it seem that Su Lingyun was using her entire breath.
Thinking of the treatment her son had received in the past year, she could not help but feel sad as she cried silently.
Although his son had lost his father from a young age, he had always been very obedient growing up. Moreover, his grades were excellent, and two years ago, he even entered Starcity High School with first place grades in the entire city. During his first year, he remained prominent in a variety of exams and contests, including being placed first in all subjects.
However, due to a car accident during the second year of the first semester, his son's brain receives a powerful collision. As a result, it severely injured his memory and comprehension skills, and he was even diagnosed with a mental disability by a doctor. If it wasn't for her request, and that the school seemed to have little hope, her son would likely have already been expelled from the school.
Seeing Su Lingyun's heartbroken appearance, the house sank into a brief silence. Su Yaning and Su Xiangfei even looked at each other, their expressions indicating that they could not bear the sight.
When everyone's attention was attracted by Su Lingyun, Tang Xiu, who was held in his arms, trembled slightly. A light was also emitted by his eyes.
“Where is this place? Did I not die after failing in great tribulation? What the hell's going on? “Tang Xiu dazedly checked his surroundings, his eyes filled with confusion.
Tang Xiu remembered him standing at the peak of the Eternal World. He passed through the tribulation of divinity, and as long as he succeeded, he would be able to become a god in the Eternal World, and obtain the qualifications to pass through the gates of eternal life.
Doing her best to recall what had actually happened, Tang Xiu's facial muscles distorted as an extremely painful expression flashed across her eyes. Before he woke up again, the last scene he realized finally appeared in his mind. . .
It was the most important moment of Tang Xiu's tribulation: when he was nearing the end, when all his soul and heart were concentrated to fight against divine tribulation. His back was open; he had almost no protection. He was in a completely powerless state against some of his good friends whose culture was only slightly inferior, who were also at the peak of the Eternal World, he said, and that has countless divine weaponry and god talismans.
Soon after, just as he barely experienced the nine levels of lightning tribulation, what he was facing was a formless yet most frightening heart tribulation — coincided with the Demon Tribulation, his best friends who originally protected him were actually, in absolute coordination, sending fatal attacks towards him.
Of those people, outrageous, it included her several hundred year old lover, Xue Qingcheng.
“Human nature is very disgusting. Before the divine art of absolute secrets, friendship and compassion were all so!
“But, since I failed the tribulation, I should have no chance of survival. My body should have been reduced to dust, and my soul should have been scattered. But now, what's going on? ”
In a daze, the scent of a familiar woman drifted into Tang Xiu's nose.
Breathing in, as she smelled the scent, an expression of overwhelming pleasure appeared on Tang Xiu's face. His emotions were too slowly becoming calm.
He only slowly turned his head after a while, facing the woman who was hugging himself.
A soft face was clearly visible in front of Tang Xiu. It was familiar and close, and compared to the skin in his memory, there seemed to be a faint trace of “tail fish” in the corner of his eye.
“innis inner! the damned inner devil! I'm dead, so how can I be bullied by this inner demon! “Tang Xiu quickly shook his head, and forced himself to avoid seeing the face he had been thinking about for over ten thousand years.
But when he saw the others at home, he could not help but be surprised.
From the myriad of years in the Eternal World, Tang Xiu had experienced countless sentimental tribulations, both big and small. However, after so many, even though Tang Xiu separated himself from all his relatives, the only one he could not let go of was his mother. So, in the sentimental tribulation in the future, only Tang Xiu's mother appeared, not the other relatives.
“Is what is in front of my eyes not my inner demon?” Tang Xiu looked around suspiciously. He also started to mutter.
Then, after a huge explosion exploded in his brain, Tang Xiu's memories of not touching for ten thousand years instantly opened. At the same time, mysterious memories appeared in his mind.
“I'm really back to the Earth I've wanted for a long time? Ten thousand years passed in the Eternal World, but only one year passed on Earth? ”Only after a while did Tang Xiu understand what happened.
The enigmatic memories that appeared in Tang Xiu's mind were all memories accumulated in his body in the years that had passed.
In a car accident a year ago, even though Tang Xiu's physical body was fine, his soul was injured. It caused his intelligence to drop which in turn caused him to have terrible days at school. He absorbs information like an observer, but he will very rarely participate in activities.
However, all the information was stored in Tang Xiu's head, letting him know clearly what happened last year on earth.
The single strand of wounded Tang Xiu's soul had traveled to the Eternal World, and entered the body of the rich grandson of the manager of the World Vermilion Bird Sacred Sect of the Immortal World. There, he lived ten thousand years, all full of excitement. He lived in a dream like ten thousand years!
He just never expected when he conspired against and died in the Eternal World that a single soul would return to the body on earth. At this moment, only one year had passed since the accident.
“Wanhua Party, Emperor Danqing, Demon Zither Jiuyao, on the day I return to the Eternal World will be the time when you will all die!”
Recalling the pieces of his life in the Eternal World, and when the last part of the memory reappeared in his brain, Tang Xiu almost shouted with clenched teeth.
Tang Xiu's furious roar broke the silence in the house, attracting everyone's attention.
“Xiuer. . . Ye . . . What the hell's going on? ”Su Lingyun was the first to react to it. She hugged Tang Xiu in a panic and asked him with an anxious face.
Seeing Tang Xiu's facial muscles twisted, then recalling the state of his body, the people in the house all revealed expressions of regret, then all cast a look of blame on them and Su Shangwen's family.
Clearly, they never expected Tang Xiu to suddenly “go crazy”, and judging from his current state, it was even caused by his own family. They could not help but look at each other, feeling a sense of guilt.
“Tang Xiu, don't bother acting here. Elves, emperors, demons? You think you're playing a game? I have never heard of any game that has bosses like Fairy Wanhua, Emperor Danqing, Zither Demon Jiuyao. ”Just like people all over the house got lost in what to do, a cold snort sounded. It was from Tang Xiu's cousin, Su Xiangfei, as he sneered.
“You are really an idiot, now you know how to pretend to be crazy? I was almost tricked by you. Don't think we'll ignore three thousand dollars by pretending to be pathetic. I'll say this clearly to you mother and son: if you don't spend three thousand dollars today, don't even think of getting out of this door! “After panicking for a moment, Zhang Meiyun silently looked towards Tang Xiu. After a while, he became very angry and loudly shouted at him.
After Tang Xiu roared, he himself knew he was losing a bit of control. Then, she felt her mother's anxiety and panic, so she hurriedly arranged her emotions and quickly comforted her, saying she was fine. The scene coincidentally entered Zhang Meiyun's eyes, and of course, it angered her.
“The descendants of rats continue to dig holes.” Tang Xiu coldly glared at Zhang Meiyun, then his eyes landed onto Su Xiangfei's body. He said nonchalantly, “Su Xiangfei, are you sure you want to continue playing this game? If you find this a bit interesting, I don't mind playing with you! ”
