Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 607: The Prosperous House
Tang Xiu originally wanted to stay in the capital for a few more days while waiting for confirmation from the Virus Research Institute that the infectious disease had been fully resolved before returning to Star City. However, she finally decided to leave tonight because she did not want to explain the misunderstanding to her family members.
After making a few phone calls, Tang Xiu drove back to Star City last night. He was puzzled for words when he returned to South Gate Town, as he discovered that his parents had not rested. They were now chatting in the living room in pajamas.
"Sonny, are you in love?"
It was two o'clock in the morning, but Su Lingyun did not look sleepy at all and came to greet him with an excited expression.
"The news flew fast?" Scratching the back of his head, Tang Xiu could only reply with a helpless expression, "Mom, Mu Wanying and I are just fake lovers. He happened to have a lot of male students chasing after him, whereas your son was also chased by a lot of female students, and therefore we thought about it and decided to become a fake couple just to deter those pursuers. ”
Fake couple?
The revelation made Su Lingyun and Tang Yunde both mute.
The reason they had not slept was because they learned that their son had returned from Beijing. They were full of hope and waiting because of the news that others were telling them, but little did they expect that it was actually fake news. In an instant, Su Lingyun looked like a deflated balloon as she sat back on the sofa, looking desperate and downcast. He then yawned and said, “Son, I heard that this girl named Mu Wanying is really amazing. Nevertheless, pretense can turn into reality if you work hard at it! Well, I'm kind of sleepy right now. I will sleep . ”
Tang Yunde looked at Tang Xiu with a brooding look before shaking her head and turning to walk into their room.
Continuing the pretense could become reality?
While staring at the backs of her parents, a depressed feeling filled Tang Xiu's heart. Then, he went to the second floor, took a shower and changed his clothes into new pajamas and slept in his comfortable bed. A few hours later, he woke up and his spirit recovered and was full of energy, which he then washed and started cultivating.
His current cultivation level had now reached the Peak level of the Viscera Transformation Stage and his internal organs had been softened. They were now thousands of times stronger than ordinary people. He was now only a little away from the Blood and Qi Circulation Stage, and only after he had reached this stage could he conjure more profound magical spells easily.
Nevertheless, he was aware of the fact that hurrying would make trash. It will be very difficult to breakthrough to a higher stage for the next few years. The reason for that was that he could reach his current cultivation level caused by too many chance encounters. However, he also did not feel the need to speed it up, as every high-rise building started with its foundation first. The last layer of his first stage of cultivation, the Tyrannical Star Body Realm, was to fuse his qi into the Nine Cores Phase Formation, yet it was only the basic stage for the Heavenly Art of Cosmic Genesis. His cultivation at a later stage would be more stable only if he laid a strong foundation.
It had been more than half a year since he had returned from the Eternal World, yet he was able to reach his current state. His cultivation is growing rapidly. Therefore, with the premise that there was no great chance encounter, he needed to suppress this rate of progress even if the situation allowed and allowed him to make a breakthrough.
Huff …
After letting out a foul breath, Tang Xiu slowly opened his eyes. The Southern Gate City might have a beautiful environment, yet it was still located in the city, and the concentration of spiritual qi here was in no way compared to the Walled Hill Village, let alone the Island of the Nine Dragons. Without a rich concentration of spiritual qi as a medium, the energy absorption rate of the stars was weakened by several points.
Tang Xiu got up from his bed and opened the curtains. A huge snowflake suddenly fell outside. Star City was not located in the South nor did it belong to the Northern Region, and it only had a small amount of snow each time the New Year ended. It suddenly snowed, though there were still a few days away from the New Year. Moreover, thick snow like today was a rare sight in Star City.
The outside world is shrouded in white. Even the plum blossoms that bloomed proudly were covered in white snow, shrouding its beauty. Almost no residents walked past the falling snowflakes, but many security guards and employees from the Property Management Office swept the snow on the concrete road in the villa area.
"Long Xueyao?"
Tang Xiu's gaze landed on a tall girl. She soon remembers her promise to treat him to dinner for his help in getting a SIM. It had been a long time, yet he had not fulfilled this promise.
A few minutes later, Tang Xiu was neatly dressed. In order not to attract attention, she disguised herself by wearing a fur coat, which she did not know when her mother bought it, and then walked out.
Back when he was in the Eternal World, Tang Xiu had seen a world of ice and snow, so he was undisturbed and did not care about the snow falling at the moment. After greeting the security guards he knew well, Tang Xiu came in front of Long Xueyao. He watched as he cleared the snow with a shovel and then said with a smile, "I'll help you!"
Long Xueyao stood up and immediately smiled looking at Tang Xiu, “You're a busy person, Sir. It stinks! I haven't seen you in a long time. Are you on vacation from college? ”
Tang Xiu took the iron shovel from her before nodding and smiling, “Ya. I just returned to Star City last night. I never thought it would snow today. ”
“It's great that you came back yesterday. Long Xueyao smiled. “It's not easy for you to come back if heavy snow closes the road. ”
"Indeed . "Tang Xiu smiled. “By the way, how about I treat you to lunch this afternoon, as long as there's nothing to do then, that's all. ”
Stunned for a moment, Long Xueyao immediately smiled and said, "Why are you treating me to lunch all of a sudden?"
While shoveling the snow, Tang Xiu replied, "First when I got the SIM, I said that I would treat you to a meal. However, many things happened and delayed me. It just so happened that Long Zhengyu called me on his way back yesterday. He knew that I would come back and invite me to eat. Therefore, I would also like to invite you. ”
“ Never cared about SIM problems. You don't have to worry about that. Long Xueyao shook her head with a faint smile. “Not my service to start smoothly, to get started. Anyway, I'm not going to have fun at the men's meeting. Besides, I was worried I wouldn't be able to get out because there are things I need to tend to during the day. ”
Long Xueyao gently nodded in response. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and then said, “Are you guys going to drink and eat and then hang out at night? If I remember correctly, Long Zhengyu played mahjong with his friends last night. I'm afraid it might be very difficult for him to wake up this afternoon, right? ”
"How do you know he's been playing mahjong all night?" Tang Xiu asked, surprised.
"Have you forgotten we're brothers?" Long Xueyao asked with a smile. “We had dinner together last night. He told me at that time. ”
Tang Xiu suddenly understood. Long Zhengyu and Long Xueyao were cousins, so there was nothing special for people from the same family to have dinner together. After pondering, he then replied, “I'll look for it at night, then. ”
"If so, how about going to a certain place with me during the day?" Long Xueyao asked with a smile.
"Where?" Tang Xiu asked with a puzzled expression.
"You will know when you go with me," Long Xueyao said. "By the way, let's finish this first!"
Tang Xiu smiled in response. He didn't think much about her making her guess. Moreover, he had just returned and did not have much to aim for, either, whereas following her to see what exactly will not make her stay at home and constantly nagging from her parents about male and female relationship issues at least .
As an hour passed, it snowed slightly and Tang Xiu returned home for breakfast. After spending two hours reading books in the study room, he got a call from Long Xueyao. The villa complex was filled with many people now compared to the desolate and cold scenery in the morning. Not only teenagers there, even their parents also accompany them to play, throw snowballs and make snowmen.
“Still ten o'clock in the morning. Why go so early? ”
When Tang Xiu came to the front of the building of the Property Management Office, he asked Long Xueyao, who was standing in front of an SUV.
“There are a few things I need to buy. "Long Xueyao slightly nodded. “I guess it'll be noon when I get it all. ”
"What would you buy, exactly?" Ask Tang Xiu.
"Will the young man pay for whatever I bought today, by chance?" Ask him with a smile.
Tang Xiu could not help but laugh and replied, "If what you want to buy can make up for the food, then it doesn't matter. ”
"That's a promise then," Long Xueyao said with a complacent smile.
Soon after, the two went to a nearby shopping mall. What made Tang Xiu feel strange was that he could tell that Long Xueyao had clearly noticed the staff in the shops earlier, though, for the purchase of twenty to thirty sets of down jackets with lots of shoes and socks. All for children under ten.
"Xueyao, are we going to the welfare house, by any chance?" Tang Xiu asked after pushing the trolley with the help of the shop staff, and then the two finally moved everything.
"I know I can't hide it from you. "Long Xueyao said with a smile. “We did go to the welfare house. Moreover, this welfare house was in the worst condition in the entire Star City. ”
Tang Xiu nodded without speaking. In fact, she is also very supportive of visits and doing charity to welfare homes. Many children who have lost their loved ones are so sad to begin with. If the welfare of the welfare home is really bad, they will face and experience difficult times in the middle of winter.
The Bluestar Welfare House. It was the most dilapidated welfare home located in the outskirts of Star City, and only had six staff to manage it including its Head, whose legs were paralyzed from falling a few years ago. The other five were responsible for buying their groceries, cooking, and daily necessities. The welfare home itself adopted 32 children, and four of them were less than a year old.
At the gate of the welfare house where the snow fell gently, — welfare house head Wu Xiufen held a broken umbrella and waited near a dilapidated signboard. He received a call from Long Xueyao yesterday and therefore kept coming to the gate since this morning. He had waited for more than an hour and came out dozens of times.
Crunched…
The SUV stopped at the gate of the welfare house and Long Xueyao and Tang Xiu got out of the car. Long Xueyao walked towards Wu Xiufen and looked at her lips that turned slightly purple, and then said with concern, “Dean Wu, why are you coming out? The weather is cold and snowy! ”
"Yes, right . I wear thick clothes! ”Jawab Wu Xiufen's.
The clothes he was wearing were very thick and somewhat plump. But some padded cotton on the shoulder of his jacket was open. Sewing there was clearly broken, while there were some stitches in some other places. As for her feet, she was only wearing worn-out, uncoated shoes.
Tang Xiu, who was standing at the side, quietly sighed inside. Long Xiaoyue told him on the way here about the situation at the Bluestar Welfare House, so he learned that this welfare house was only funded by a few people because of their goodwill, he knew that this welfare house was only funded by a few people because of their goodwill, aid from the government is almost nothing.
