As Su Huai pushed open the courtyard door, the familiar scene unfolded before his eyes.
The green tiles and white walls, the bare phoenix tree in the courtyard with only a few branches bearing a light dusting of snow.
The wall he had damaged when he was reborn had been completely repaired, and even the reclining chair under the eaves was placed exactly as Su Huai remembered.
Pushing open the door, the interior was spotless.
It was evident that even during his absence, the vacant courtyard had been meticulously maintained by someone.
"This is the place where I grew up."
"What do you think?"
Chu Siyu, bundled up in thick clothing, looked around with curious wide eyes.
In the corner was a large box filled with rings, pendants, and various broken pieces of iron.
Su Huai couldn't bear to look at the box of trash.
Those were the "treasures" he had collected from various vendors in Black Iron City when he was just a child, his mind filled with thoughts of ring elders and invincible systems.
He had always followed the principle of a transmigrator who must find treasures in the trash, spending all his meager monthly money on collecting "antiques."
Unfortunately, after collecting so many treasures over time, they all turned out to be garbage sold by unscrupulous vendors to deceive children.
Chu Siyu blinked, not dwelling on the trash for long, but instead looked at the various wooden items on the shelf.
There were round chess pieces with characters carved on them.
And a variety of miniature weapons.
At the top were more than ten oddly-shaped wooden carvings.
She pointed to the large yellow rat painted with yellow dye at the front: "What is that?"
Su Huai picked up the wooden carving, a flicker of distant nostalgia in his eyes.
"This is a yellow-skinned electric rat."
"Hmm?"
"It's a fantasy creature from my... childhood dream, capable of discharging electricity from its cheeks and tail."
"Is it like Xiao Bai can create ice?"
"Something like that."
Su Huai pursed his lips.
These wooden carvings on the shelf, each with a different form, were his only remembrance of his true "hometown."
He took Chu Siyu's hand and placed the yellow-skinned rat carving in her palm.
"From now on, you will take care of it."
Chu Siyu noticed Su Huai's seriousness when he said this, and although she didn't know what this small wooden carving meant to Su Huai, she nodded subconsciously.
"Okay! I will definitely take good care of it!"
Su Huai reached out and ruffled Chu Siyu's hair, his smile incredibly gentle.
Everyone has their own origin and destination.
He came from that distant blue planet.
Like a wandering boat, drifting and sinking, moving forward aimlessly, constantly restarting like playing a game, at that time he had no fear of death, just not wanting to endure the pain and helplessness that came with death.
It was not until he met Chu Siyu that their two wandering hearts comforted each other and found their final destination.
It was then that he began to fear death.
His confused heart also found a new direction.
"What's wrong with you?"
Chu Siyu reached out to touch his face.
"Nothing." Su Huai pinched her cheek. "You are so beautiful that I got lost in admiration."
Chu Siyu's face turned red, and she couldn't speak with her head down.
So the hand that was pinching her face became restless...
...
Unconsciously, it had been three or four days since returning to Black Iron City.
During this time, Su Huai occasionally guided Su Leng's cultivation and accompanied Chu Siyu wandering around Black Iron City.
In every alley and field, their figures could be seen, and the sour smell of love was in the air.
He had not yet gone to see Su Zhengheng, his nominal father.
Until New Year's Eve.
Two special guests arrived in Black Iron City.
The Crown Prince of the Heavenly Zun Tian Immortal Dynasty, Li Ao, appeared outside the city gate of Black Iron City with a man in a blood-red robe.
"Elder, ahead is Su Huai's hometown."
"Those above the fourth order are not allowed to enter the city. Shall I send someone in to report first?"
"Hmm."
After listening quietly to Li Ao, the man in the blood-red robe squinted his eyes and nodded.
His name is Li Zhongtian, one of the elders of the Heavenly Zun Tian Immortal Dynasty, a powerful human force in the divine realm.
The Heavenly Zun Tian Immortal Dynasty is a top force that is far stronger than the Medicine King Immortal Dynasty, occupying a country in the divine realm, which is also rich and powerful, with a fierce martial spirit.
With such a strong force behind him, Li Zhongtian has pride in his heart.
Don't look at his cultivation level, which is the same as Mu Qingxuan's, but that's because his position in the Heavenly Zun Tian Immortal Dynasty is a civil official, and his position is actually very low, and the affairs he is responsible for are not related to combat.
If you really compare...
The martial generals of the Immortal Dynasty may not be much weaker than the likes of the Black Dragon Demon Emperor in the same realm!
And the biggest difference between the divine realm and the immortal realm is that the world's rules are more perfect, and the cultivation of the cultivators is not limited by resources, and they are stuck in the imperial realm.
The divine realm... there really are "gods"!
And the "immortal" in the immortal realm, in Li Zhongtian's view, is just the vision of the predecessors after being expelled to this world.
It's just a remote rural area.
Li Ao glanced at Li Zhongtian, who pretended to be aloof, and called him "Elder" on his mouth, but in fact, his heart was full of disdain and contempt.
During this period, this old man has been pointing fingers and bullying in the divine dynasty.
Damn it, he has gone to the divine realm and has become rich, and he has almost forgotten where he took refuge when he was down and out!
When everyone decided to return to the divine realm, in order to be grateful for the protection of the immortal realm to the human race, they all defined their own forces as "Immortal Dynasty."
And the branch of Zun Tian that stayed in the immortal realm retains the original name - Zun Tian Immortal Dynasty.
Li Ao can understand Li Zhongtian's pride.
What he disdains and despises is that this person is bullying the weak and fearing the strong, only bullying in the family, and being very timid in front of outsiders.
When he first came to the divine dynasty, he was almost arrogant, complaining about the poor environment, poor food, ordering the ministers and generals of the divine dynasty, and even speaking to the Zun Tian Immortal Emperor with a high and mighty attitude.
But look at how polite he is in front of Su Huai now.
Is it because he is polite to outsiders?
It's a fart!
It's because Su Huai killed the imperial envoy from the Medicine King Immortal Dynasty without saying a word!
He also put the body in a wooden coffin and swaggered to the Star Burial Mountain Range to find the Black Dragon Demon Emperor to make trouble, and later I heard that he was going to the divine realm, with a posture of overturning the entire Medicine King Immortal Dynasty with his own strength.
Too arrogant! Too overconfident!
But these years.
The fierce are afraid of the stubborn, and the stubborn are afraid of those who don't want to live.
In Li Zhongtian's eyes, Su Huai is the one who doesn't want to live.
This kind of fearless and stubborn person can't be provoked.
But he has to come into contact with Su Huai, because he has completed his task, the five Zun he brought down are not others, they are the five princes and princesses of the Zun Tian Immortal Dynasty.
The Zun Tian Immortal Dynasty is about to have a national war with a ghost clan force, and just when the connection between the immortal realm and the divine realm is opened, the emperor of the immortal dynasty thinks about it, and simply sends a few talented descendants to the immortal realm.
In case the immortal dynasty is defeated and the blood is cut off.
But when Li Zhongtian completed his task and wanted to return to the divine realm through the altar, the Black Dragon Demon Emperor would not open the altar.
That evil beast actually said that opening the altar was too tired, and he, Li Zhongtian, was not worthy of letting it open the altar specially.
Want to go home? Okay! When Su Huai leaves, you can take a ride on his car, otherwise, forget it.
Li Zhongtian was angry and angry, but he couldn't beat the Black Dragon Demon Emperor, so he had to forcibly swallow this breath of anger, and then prepared some gifts to visit Su Huai.
