On the outskirts of Qingzhou city, in an unnamed desolate mountain.

"Boom!"

A sudden loud noise broke the silence of the deep mountains.

A figure shot out from a spider-web-filled cave, embedding itself into the rock wall at a speed faster than a bullet, causing the ground to shake and the mountain to tremble. "Cough, cough... Finally, I'm back."

This is a young man dressed in ancient attire, with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, his long hair flowing in the wind.

His name is Su Chen, and he has just returned from the Cultivation World.

It's quite absurd to say that two thousand years ago, he, who loved outdoor adventures, took advantage of the summer vacation after graduating from high school to come to this desolate mountain, but accidentally traveled to the Cultivation World through an ancient teleportation array.

Meditation, Foundation, Advanced, Virtuoso, Immortality...

He, with mediocre aptitude, spent two thousand years to break through the Yuan Infant stage and become the ancient ancestor of the sect.

The teleportation array opens for a moment every two thousand years. He intended to return to Earth today, but unexpectedly, he was ambushed by a group of mysterious people! "The Upper Dantian is shattered, the Primordial Spirit is severely damaged, and the Dantian is leaking... Am I so badly injured?"

This is bad, the teleportation array has also been destroyed, and it is impossible for me to recover from my injuries without returning to the Small South Sky Realm. The psychic on Earth is so poor. Su Chen's mouth was stained with bright red blood, and his face was frighteningly pale.

He shrugged his shoulders, and the rock wall exploded. He landed in front of the cave and picked up a yellow-brown climbing bag.

"Huh? The backpack I left here, why is it still so new?"

Su Chen patted the dust off the bag.

A vibrating sound of a mobile phone came from the bag.

His face changed slightly.

After two thousand years, Nokia couldn't possibly be on standby for so long!

He quickly took out a mobile phone with only 1% battery remaining.

The contact displayed on the screen: Mom!

"Mom..."

Su Chen's nose was sour.

After struggling in the Cultivation World for two thousand years, the words "parents" had become a distant memory.

He looked at the time, August 29, 2025.

He was stunned.

Two thousand years in the Cultivation World, and only a summer vacation had passed on Earth?

If it weren't for his earth-shattering cultivation still intact, he would have thought this was a dream.

"Hello, Mom..."

He pressed the answer button.

"You little rabbit! Are you going to die? You haven't answered the phone for a month. Do you want to make your mother anxious to death? Tell me, where did you go wild again this time!!" "Mom, it's good to hear your voice again."

"Little Dust, what are you talking about? Don't scare Mom, where are you now? Are you safe?" "Very safe."

Su Chen smiled.

For him, Earth is no different from a novice village, dismantling tanks with bare hands, and cutting airplanes with a sword are all trivial matters.

But if it's not necessary, he would never do that.

The shattering of the Upper Dantian means that he can no longer absorb the psychic energy of heaven and earth for cultivation.

In simple terms, he is now like a broken power bank, only able to discharge, unable to charge, unless he finds something to repair.

"Little Dust, school is about to start, remember to go to Qingzhou to find your Aunt Ning, Mom has something else to do, I won't talk anymore."

His mother, Zhang Lan, hurriedly instructed a few words and hung up the phone.

Su Chen had a bitter smile on his face.

Letting an Immortality Phase old monster like him go to college, isn't this purely a joke?

Aunt Ning is his mother's best friend, also from Dongyang County, who later married a rich businessman in Qingzhou.

"I heard that I was admitted to Qingzhou University, Aunt Ning took the initiative to call and let me live in her house. My mother also readily agreed. It seems that she has some intention of matchmaking me and Aunt Ning's daughter...

Thinking of these, Su Chen had a thought and flew into the air.

Feeling the psychic energy slowly leaking from his body, he sighed bitterly, and could only fall back to the ground and walk out of the mountain.

...

At noon

He arrived at the address designated by his mother, a coffee shop near Qingzhou Railway Station.

Two young girls had been waiting for a long time.

"Why hasn't he come yet, my coffee is already finished, Shuyan, why don't you make a call to hurry him up? A cute girl wearing a Hello Kitty T-shirt, resting her chin on the coffee table, her small mouth pouting high, "I'm starving."

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

"I can't get through to him on the phone, let's wait another five minutes, if he doesn't come, I'll leave!"

I really can't understand, there are so many people in the company, why does Mommy insist on me picking up this Su Chen? I was supposed to go to the cat café this afternoon.

A tall and cold-looking girl complained with her arms folded.

She was probably seventeen or eighteen years old, with a slender and exquisite figure, very tall, about 170m, with a head of slightly curly champagne-colored long hair hanging down to her waist, her lovely little face without makeup, exuding a cold glow.

"Because he is the son of your mother's best friend."

The cute girl rested her head on her hand and laughed: "By the way, Shuyan, do you think Aunt Ning is trying to matchmake you with this Su Chen?" "Xiao Tang, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Xi Shuyan said unhappily: "A kid from a small county who got admitted here, how could Mommy possibly like him, isn't this pushing her daughter into a fire pit?

The cute girl giggled again: "What if he turns out to be a handsome guy?

Xi Shuyan's eyebrows relaxed, and her cheeks turned slightly red, "Well... that... that can be considered, dating or something, but getting married is a bit difficult. The cute girl stuck out her tongue, "You're a heartbreaker!"

"Are you Xi Shuyan, Aunt Ning's daughter?

At this moment, a gentle male voice came from behind the cute girl.

"Ah!"

The cute girl was startled like a rabbit, jumping off the chair, "Who are you? Why did you suddenly appear?" "Are you Su Chen?"

Xi Shuyan pointed at the man in front of her who was covered in scratches and mud, and carrying a tattered climbing bag, her pretty face gradually became stiff.

Where is the promised handsome guy?

Is she really going to have dinner with this country bumpkin?

Oh no, if someone she knows sees her, it would be so embarrassing.

"Yes, she is Xi Shuyan!"

At the critical moment, Xi Shuyan grabbed the cute girl as a scapegoat, and whispered in her ear: "Please, Xiao Tang, it's an emergency, I'll give you a lipstick later. The cute girl, named Xu Tang, whispered back, "Three, Givenchy's!"

Xi Shuyan patted her on the shoulder, "Deal!"

Su Chen: "......"

"Do these two young ladies think I'm a fool?"

"Hello, Su Chen. You've had a long journey from Dongyang County. It must have been hard." Xu Tang greeted Su Chen with a bright smile, "Let's go eat first, we can chat while eating." "Sure."

Su Chen rubbed his belly.

He wasn't hungry, but a tiny bit of his spiritual power had leaked due to the shattering of his Mud Pill Palace.

Although it could be ignored, his spiritual power would continue to weaken over time if this continued.

"It's hard to believe that I, an Immortality Phase Cultivator, would one day have to rely on mortal food to maintain my Cultivation Base."

With a bitter smile on his face, Su Chen followed the two girls out of the coffee shop.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Ning's daughter actually drove a car.

And it was a pricey Porsche Panamera.

You should know, Xi Shuyan was the same age as him, just a freshman in college. The fact that her family bought her such a luxury car showed their substantial financial resources.

"What do you think, nice car, right?"

Xi Shuyan took out her keys to unlock the car, glancing at Su Chen out of the corner of her eye.

Unexpectedly, this small town youth didn't have stars in his eyes, which surprised her.

Su Chen nodded, "Yeah, it's good, just a bit slow."

Upon hearing this, Xi Shuyan was not pleased, "Slow? Hmph, may I ask, Ning, what kind of car do you drive?"

Su Chen casually said: "I don't have a car, I usually ride the clouds and mist, occasionally I also ride a sword."

"Ride the clouds and mist? Ride a sword? Pff..."

"My friend, you've watched too many Cultivation Novels, you're too cute." Xu Tang burst out laughing, what a dunce!

He can't possibly think he's very humorous, can he!

Xi Shuyan rolled her eyes and said, "If you think my car is slow, you can take a taxi yourself and see who's faster."

Su Chen looked indifferent, "Sure."

Xi Shuyan was surprised that Su Chen dared to take up the challenge, "Are you sure? We're going to eat at Intime City in the west of the city, which is about six or seven kilometers from here. Do you dare to race? Whoever loses pays the bill."

"If you want to race, then let's race."

Su Chen always spoke nonchalantly, impatient like an adult dealing with a child.

"But I should let you know in advance, I have a big appetite."
