Chapter 0001 I will continue to play with you

In a daze, a familiar scent of a woman wafted into Tang Xiu's nose

"You foolish fool, you actually know how to pretend to be crazy and silly, almost deceiving me. Don't think that by playing the victim we will not pursue the matter of the three thousand yuan. I have made it clear to both you and your mother that if you do not take out that three thousand yuan today, you will not be able to step out of this door!" After a brief moment of panic, Zhang Meiyun could not help but quietly scrutinize Tang Xiu for a moment, and then she became furious, scolding loudly.

The fragment of Tang Xiu's damaged soul, however, traversed to the Immortal Realm, attaching itself to the body of the extravagant grandson of the head of the Zhuque Sacred Sect in that realm, where it spent a marvelous and extraordinary life for ten thousand years, akin to a dreamlike ten thousand years

In a single sentence, Su Lingyun seemed to have exhausted all her strength

Tang Xiu's face was swollen and red, his lips had been bitten until they bled, and his eyes were filled with mist. Yet, he raised his neck and said firmly: "I did not steal the money"

Breathing in the fragrance, Tang Xiu's face revealed an expression of great enjoyment, and his emotions gradually calmed down

Shang Wen, Mei Yun, you have watched Xiu Er grow up. This child has always been honest since he was young, excelling in both character and academics, and has never told a lie. Since he says he did not steal the money, the three thousand yuan that went missing must certainly have nothing to do with him. Su Lingyun tightly held her son in her arms, pleading with the middle-aged couple in the room.

"Shangwen, Meiyun, I beg you not to make things difficult for the child. If that 3,000 yuan cannot be found, just consider it as my loan to you. You also know that ever since the car accident a year ago, Xiuer has become listless and cannot handle any stress. If he were to be truly angered to the point of suffering a serious incident, I would not be able to live on my own. " Under the relentless pressure from the younger brother's family, Su Lingyun's tears fell like a broken string of pearls, and she pleaded helplessly.

Tang Xiu, I remember that you seem to owe the school 3,000 yuan in tuition fees. Are you planning to use that money to pay the tuition fees?

I have unexpectedly returned to the Earth that I have longed for in my dreams? A myriad of years have passed in the celestial realm, yet only a year has passed on Earth? After a considerable amount of time, Tang Xiu finally understood what was happening

Struggling to recall what had transpired, Tang Xiu's facial muscles gradually contorted, and an expression of extreme anguish flickered in his eyes. The final conscious image before awakening finally surfaced in his mind

Aunt, you should not protect Tang Xiu. You may be able to shield him for a time, but you cannot protect him for a lifetime. There are only so few people in this family; if you say that the three thousand yuan was not stolen by Tang Xiu, do you mean to say that the money just flew away by itself

Since I have failed the tribulation, there should be no chance of escape, and my body should have turned to dust, with my soul scattered. So what is happening now

Little did I expect that after being ambushed in the celestial realm, my soul would be shattered and yet, that fragment of my soul would once again return to a body on Earth, where only a little over a year had passed.

Subsequently, just as he barely endured the Ninefold Thunder Tribulation and faced the final wave of the silent yet most terrifying Supreme Heart Tribulation—the Primordial Heavenly Demon Tribulation—his several close friends, who were originally meant to protect him, unexpectedly launched a fatal strike against him in perfect unison.

The ones interrupting Su Lingyun's speech were the children of Su Shangwen and Zhang Meiyun. If Su Shangwen and Zhang Meiyun, as a couple, spoke in a relatively tactful manner and understood the art of discretion, this pair of young men and women clearly did not.

A gentle face clearly appeared before Tang Xiu, familiar and warm. Compared to the face in his memory, this face had a slight crow's feet at the corners of the eyes.

It was merely an accident during the first semester of the second year of high school, where my son suffered a severe impact to his brain, resulting in significant impairment of his memory and comprehension abilities. He was even diagnosed as mentally disabled by the doctors at one point. If it were not for my desperate pleas, coupled with the fact that the school seemed to hold a glimmer of hope for my son, he would likely have been expelled from school long ago

Throughout the countless years in the realm of immortals, Tang Xiu has undergone numerous tribulations of the heart, both great and small. However, after enduring these successive trials, he resolutely abandoned all his relatives, yet he could not bring himself to forsake his mother. Consequently, in the later tribulations of his heart, only his mother appeared, and no other relatives were present.

On the day when the Flower Fairy, the Great Emperor of Danqing, and the Nine Luminaries Qinomancer once again arrive in the celestial realm, it will be the time of your demise

That was the most critical moment for Tang Xiu during his tribulation. At that time, he was already at the end of his strength, pouring all his spiritual and mental energy into directly confronting the divine tribulation. Behind him was an empty void, devoid of any defense. In this unguarded state, he was completely vulnerable to several friends of the Supreme level, who were at the pinnacle of the immortal realm, possessed countless divine artifacts and god-level talismans, and were only slightly inferior to him in cultivation.

Among them is prominently included his beloved confidante, Xue Qingcheng, with whom he has been in love for several hundred years

Tang Xiu's furious roar shattered the silence in the room, drawing everyone's attention towards him

Although the son lost his father at a young age, he has been very obedient and has excelled academically throughout his life. Two years ago, he achieved the top score in the city for the high school entrance examination and was admitted to Xingcheng No. 1 High School. During his first year of high school, he also stood out in various exams and competitions, securing first place in all subjects.

"Xiu'er... what... what happened to you?" Su Lingyun immediately reacted, panicking as she embraced Tang Xiu, her face filled with anxiety as she inquired.

Tang Xiu remembered that he was a towering figure in the Immortal Realm, currently facing the tribulation to become a deity. As long as he successfully overcame this tribulation, he would achieve the status of a God King in the Immortal Realm and gain the qualification to enter the door of eternal life

The heart demon, the damned heart demon, how could I still be disturbed by the heart demon when I am already in a state of utter despair? Tang Xiu quickly shook his head, forcibly avoiding the face that had haunted him for over ten thousand years.

"Tang Xiu, you should stop acting here. You think you are playing a game, being a fairy, an emperor, and a demon all at once? I haven't heard of any game that has bosses like the Flower Fairy, the Great Emperor of Danqing, or the Nine Luminaries Piano Demon." Just as everyone in the room was at a loss, a cold snort echoed through the house, and it was Tang Xiu's cousin, Su Xiangfei, who sneered.

Seeing Su Lingyun in such deep sorrow, a brief silence fell over the room. Su Yaning and Su Xiangfei, the brother and sister, exchanged glances, their faces revealing an expression of compassion.

Upon hearing the words of her younger brother Su Shangwen and sister-in-law Zhang Meiyun, Su Lingyun's complexion turned pale, and her eyes lost their luster. However, glancing at her son in her arms, she had no choice but to muster her courage and once again defend her son.

With a thunderous roar, Tang Xiu's memories, sealed for ten thousand years, were instantly unlocked, and at the same time, a fragment of obscure memory also surfaced in his mind

Under their joint assault, Tang Xiu's fate was almost sealed. Even before his body was completely shattered and his consciousness fully lost, these individuals could hardly contain their eagerness as they rushed forward to seize the mysterious ancient book that had inadvertently fallen from him, the "Ten Thousand Source Void Universe Ascension Technique," obtained from the relics of the ancient gods and demons.

Seeing Tang Xiu's facial muscles severely distorted, and recalling Tang Xiu's physical condition, the faces of the more than ten people in the house revealed expressions of regret, and they all cast reproachful glances at Su Shangwen's family

When Tang Xiu saw the more than ten other people in the house, he couldn't help but be taken aback

Human nature is indeed so vile; in the face of unparalleled divine skills, friendship and love are nothing but worthless trash

After a long while, Tang Xiucai slowly turned his head to look at the woman embracing him from behind

"Su Yaning, Su Xiangfei, you two are talking nonsense and slandering!" Tang Xiu almost shouted in a hoarse voice

Tang Xiu, even if your family is short on money, you cannot just take money indiscriminately. As the saying goes, 'Stealing a needle when young leads to stealing gold when grown.' You must not develop the habit of stealing, otherwise your entire life will be ruined

A year ago, in a car accident, Tang Xiu's body was not severely harmed, but his soul was damaged, resulting in a significant decline in his intelligence. He led a vague and aimless life at school, absorbing all the information around him like a bystander, yet rarely engaging in interactions

Recalling her son's experiences over the past year, Su Lingyun could not help but feel a surge of sorrow, silently weeping.

Su Shangwen's family clearly did not expect Tang Xiu to suddenly "go mad," and it seemed that he was provoked by his own family. They exchanged glances, feeling a wave of guilt.

"Ling Yun, we did not say that Xiu Er stole the money; we just think he might want to alleviate your worries, so he hid those three thousand yuan." The middle-aged man turned his head to the side, not daring to meet Su Ling Yun's gaze.

Recalling the bits and pieces of life in the celestial realm, when the last memory of the celestial world surfaced in his mind, Tang Xiu almost shouted through gritted teeth

"Are these not the demons of the heart before me?" Tang Xiu looked around in confusion, murmuring to himself.

However, this time Su Lingyun had not yet had the chance to speak when she was interrupted by two sharp voices

Tang Xiu, where have you hidden the money? Hurry up and take it out!

A dozen or so people surrounded Tang Xiu, chattering incessantly, their eyes filled with suspicion and disdain, and their tone brimming with impatience

When everyone's attention was drawn to Su Lingyun, Tang Xiu, who was held in her arms, trembled slightly, and a glimmer of brilliance shone in his eyes

Aunt, the reason we suspect Tang Xiu is that he is the most likely person to steal money from the house. In your eyes, Tang Xiu is undoubtedly the best, but you also know how terrible his behavior has been at school this year—plagiarizing assignments, cheating on exams, and getting into fights. As his cousin, I can hardly hold my head up at school.

The obscure memory that suddenly surged in Tang Xiu's mind was the entirety of the memories that Tang Xiu's body had stored over the past year on Earth

"Outstanding in both character and academics? Ha! Your son was indeed outstanding before he entered Xingcheng No. 1 High School, but he only enjoyed a year of glory there. His academic performance has plummeted, and he has long become the bottom of the entire grade. If it weren't for your desperate pleas, your son would probably have been expelled from No. 1 High School by now," the middle-aged woman said, ignoring Su Lingyun's nearly desperate gaze, with a sarcastic tone.

However, all this information was stored in Tang Xiu's mind, allowing him to clearly know what he had experienced during his year on Earth

Where is this? Wasn't I supposed to be soul scattered after failing the tribulation? What is happening now? Tang Xiu looked around in confusion, his eyes filled with a sense of bewilderment

After Tang Xiu let out a roar, he realized his own loss of composure and immediately sensed his mother's anxiety and tension. He hurriedly adjusted his emotions, repeatedly reassuring his mother that he was fine. This scene happened to fall under Zhang Meiyun's gaze, naturally infuriating her

"Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the children of mice dig holes in the ground." Tang Xiu coldly glared at Zhang Meiyun, then shifted his gaze to Su Xiangfei, saying indifferently: "Su Xiangfei, are you sure you want to continue playing the game? If you find this more interesting, I don't mind accompanying you to keep playing!"
