Zhong Hai City, Kang Ju District.
Kang Ju District was a resettlement housing district on the outskirts of Zhong Hai City. The living environment was not very good, and the neighborhood committee had long existed in name only. In addition, the district was built early.
Therefore, even though many of the iron doors downstairs had rusted, and even locking the doors had become a problem, the iron doors were still not replaced.
Chen Xi stood at the entrance of the district in ragged clothes, watching a few children happily playing football in the garden. He suddenly had a feeling that it was a lifetime ago.
It felt like a lifetime ago …
Yes, five hundred years, five centuries was so long.
It was as if she'd had a very, very long dream. It wasn't until she stood on solid ground and carefully felt the familiar surroundings that Chen Xi felt like she'd finally woken up from that nightmare.
Master once said that he had an obsession in his heart that he could not let go of, so this life could only end here.
In this regard, Chen Xi did not care at all.
So what if his cultivation was high?
Just to live for a thousand more years? Ten thousand years? Or even eternal life?
Pei!
He had long been tired of that world where in order to compete for cultivation resources, people resorted to all kinds of means, cheating and scheming against each other all day long.
If it were not for this remaining obsession in his heart, Chen Xi was afraid that he would not have been able to hold on and turned into a pile of yellow soil in that cruel world.
Now that he thought about it, what was the difference between the so-called immortals and those beasts fighting for food in the chicken coop and pig pen?
Earth was still the best, even the haze and exhaust made people feel comfortable …
Chen Xi thought happily, and could not help but laugh.
A four or five-year-old boy stood not far away, looking at the silly weirdo in front of him.
Just as he was about to go forward and study this weirdo, a fat auntie quickly rushed out from the side, then grabbed the boy's ear and dragged him by the ear into the building.
As she walked, the fat auntie scolded, "You are simply disobedient, how many times have I told you to stay away from these lunatics, be careful that they don't catch you and eat you!"
After hearing the fat auntie's threat, the little boy was obviously scared. He quickly shrank into the auntie's arms and hid in the building under her protection.
Chen Xi stood at the side and silently watched the scene unfold in front of him. For the first time, he had an awkward expression on his face. He then lowered his head to look at himself and smiled helplessly.
His current appearance could be said to be extremely miserable.
His white gown had long been reduced to rags, and his hair was as messy as a chicken coop. There were even obvious burn marks on the ends of his hair.
If he walked out like this, it was not surprising that he would be regarded as a lunatic who made a living by rummaging through trash cans on the streets …
His soul was damaged, his cultivation was lost, and there were countless internal injuries on his body. This was the price he had to pay to return.
However, even though it was tragic, at least he managed to come back alive, right?
With the power of the Soul Formation Stage, he had to cross the void, pass through several space rifts, and cross many galaxies before finally returning to Earth …
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that this was definitely a magnificent feat that had never been done before and would never be done again.
Chen Xi calmed himself down and walked in the familiar direction.
As he got closer and closer to the familiar building, his heart began to beat violently.
He had not experienced this kind of nervous and uneasy feeling for five hundred years!
He had suffered in the cultivation world for five hundred years. He had gone from the lowest level of servant to a mighty Divine Monarch. In the end, he still gave up everything and risked his life to forcibly return.
In fact, it was because of the stubbornness in his heart.
Since there was no hope of attaining the throne in this life, why not return to his roots and rest early?
Chen Xi, who was determined to die, set off just like that. The heavens seemed to have finally opened their eyes.
Originally, he thought that when he came back, he would only see everything in the past turn into mulberry fields. However, who would have thought that after arriving on Earth, Chen Xi would be shocked to discover that only five years had passed on Earth!
Only five years!!!
What was the cause of this, Chen Xi didn't know, nor did she want to know.
He only cared about one question now.
Five years had passed. She …
Was she doing well?
She was now …
Suddenly, Chen Xi did not dare to imagine anymore.
He, who had only used five hundred years to become a Divine Monarch and was known as the supreme on the Prodigy Roll, suddenly felt a little scared.
Last year, in this door, the peach blossoms were both red.
He did not know where the peach blossoms were, but the peach blossoms were still smiling.
'Forget it … If you marry someone else, I will also fulfill the promise I made to you at that time …'
As if he had finally made a decision, Chen Xi threw away the various distracting thoughts in his mind and strode through the familiar iron door.
I ascended to become a Divine Monarch, not to live forever, but to bless you with happiness and peace!
…
Third floor.
The second room from the left, 302.
When he saw the slightly faded fortune on the iron door, Chen Xi was suddenly stunned.
The word 'fortune' was still there, and the couplet was still there.
This was what he had personally put on with her before he disappeared.
Could it be …
She is still waiting for me?
Chen Xi stretched out his trembling right hand and gently knocked on the door.
Now, he looked like a groom standing on the wedding stage ready to welcome the bride, but also like a Luther who received an invitation but did not dare to look at the bride's name on it.
Chen Xi tidied his tattered clothes, trying to make them more pleasing to the eye.
Then, he scratched his hair again. That skillful action was like that of 500 years ago, when he was still in university. Every morning before he went out for a date, he would do this signature action in front of the mirror.
"Who is it?"
Chen Xi did not have to wait for long before someone answered the door.
The moment he heard this voice, Chen Xi felt as if his heart had suddenly become empty.
This was not her voice …
Definitely not.
Perhaps to verify Chen Xi's guess, after this voice, the door opened.
Behind the door was a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her fifties or sixties.
When the middle-aged woman saw Chen Xi's tattered appearance, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes. She thought that a criminal was going to rob her house.
"What do you want!" The middle-aged woman deliberately raised her voice and asked.
She was a little scared of the person in front of her, so she deliberately spoke loudly to alarm the neighbors.
"Big sister, I am not a bad person …"
Chen Xi helplessly took a few steps back, then he forced a smile and said, "I used to live here, but after I left, my wife lived here alone … Auntie, do you know when she moved away?"
"What? I have always lived here! I have lived here for several years! How come I have never seen you? Are you here to steal something? If you don't leave, I will call the police! "
"Don't, don't, don't, I will go, I will go …"
Chen Xi helplessly smiled, looked deeply at the door number above the iron door, and walked down the stairs unwillingly.
It was impossible that he remembered wrongly, absolutely impossible.
This was his home.
At least, it used to be their home.
The middle-aged woman hid behind the door, and after seeing Chen Xi turn and leave, she relaxed a lot.
Secretly looking at Chen Xi's side profile, the middle-aged woman suddenly seemed to have thought of something. She quickly opened the door and rushed out.
"Hey, wait a minute …"
The middle-aged woman came in front of him, looked up at him carefully for a while, and felt that this person was very similar to the person in the photo.
Suddenly, the middle-aged woman violently grabbed Chen Xi's arms and said excitedly, "It's you, it's you! Chen family's boy! You are finally back! "
"You … You are Auntie Zhang?"
In the past, he had only seen Auntie Zhang from afar, so Chen Xi did not have much of an impression of her. Fortunately, Auntie Zhang recognized him.
"How did you become like this? If it weren't for the photos left behind by the two of you, I wouldn't have recognized you today … Thank God, thank God I didn't chase you away … You are finally back, where have you been all these years? Do you know how hard she has been waiting for you … "
Auntie Zhang pulled Chen Xi and said excitedly. As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something sad, and couldn't help but cry.
"Auntie Zhang, I am sorry, it's my fault, I didn't take good care of her."
Looking at Auntie Zhang's appearance, Chen Xi's heart ached for no reason.
His heart, which had been as firm as a rock, also hurt.
They had agreed to rely on each other from now on, but she didn't expect Chen Xi to leave without a word.
He had been gone for five years.
"Auntie Zhang, is she at home?" Chen Xi asked in a trembling voice.
However, Auntie Zhang wiped her tears and said intermittently, "She left, a long time ago, when she left, she didn't say where she was going …"
"Left?"
Although Chen Xi had mentally prepared himself countless times, when he heard the news from Auntie Zhang, he still couldn't accept it.
Just when Chen Xi calmed down and wanted to ask Auntie Zhang for more details, a crisp voice suddenly came from upstairs.
"Grandma, what are you doing?"
Chen Xi looked in the direction of the voice and saw a little girl, who looked about four or five years old, standing timidly on the stairs.
"Niannian, look, your father is back."
Auntie Zhang waved her hand and called the little girl over, then squatted beside her, pointed at Chen Xi and said, "Look, don't you want your father? Your father is back, quickly call him father. "
Chen Xi was stunned.
Looking at the delicate little girl in front of him, and then looking at Auntie Zhang's serious expression, he was dumbfounded.
The little girl looked at Chen Xi timidly, then under Auntie Zhang's encouragement, she nervously and uneasily called out.
"Papa …"
Chen Xi's head suddenly exploded!
Although the sound of "PaPa" was very soft, it was like a thunderclap in his ears, making his hair stand on end.
"Papa!"
Not getting a response from Chen Xi, the little girl called out again.
But this time, she was not so scared, and there seemed to be a trace of expectation in her big bright eyes.
"She gave birth to a daughter for me?"
Chen Xi suddenly squatted down and hugged his daughter. The loneliness, which had been hovering in his heart for five hundred years, finally disappeared at this moment.
A monarch of a generation, actually shed tears at this moment.
