February 14th.

Happy Lantern Festival.

BeiJiang City.

From late afternoon, snowflakes began to fall from the sky, but this still couldn't stop their enthusiasm. The streets were crowded with people.

...in Bei Jiang Park.

Everything is still so quiet.

There is a lake in the middle of Bei Jiang Park. It's not very big, but because of the harsh cold, the lake water has already frozen over.

This moment.

From beneath the lake came a rumbling sound.

Click!

After a deafening roar, the frozen lake surface shattered like it had been punched by a giant, churning with black water.

The fish in the lake all floated to the surface of the water, and the air was filled with a strong fragrance.

He was actually boiled alive.

On the stone steps by the shore, a pair of white bones suddenly appeared. Then an arm, and finally, a whole glistening skeleton slowly walked out of the water onto the bank.

In the sky, clouds gathered, and a huge cyclone appeared above the skull.

The skeleton raised its head, looking at the sky, and gave a sinister smile.

As his smile widened, the skull began to quickly sprout tubes and pipes, appearing in the blink of an eye.

The skeleton was the embodiment of a strikingly handsome man.

The man muttered to himself, "Three thousand years... I never thought I'd be back after three thousand years!"

Then the man looked up, a beam of gold shooting from his eyes.

The massive cyclone in the sky shattered with a roar.

At the same time, an air of immense majesty emanated from the man.

For a moment, the entire city of Bei Jiang and even the whole of Dongdu were taken aback.

Many elderly people who were sitting cross-legged opened their eyes in unison, their faces filled with indescribable terror.

Because they sensed an incredibly powerful aura, so powerful that simply knowing of it almost imprisoned their souls.

Who is it?

Could there be such an imposing aura of dominance?

Xue An didn't expect that she could come back.

Three thousand years!

Over the past three thousand years, so much has happened.

Back then, in those destitute years, he had already become one of the few esteemed Immortals in the entire plane.

If not at the final moment of enlightenment, because of a flawed state of mind, all efforts are in vain.

Then Xue An has already become the supreme being of the entire plane.

But as he was about to perish in the void, Xue An, with his supreme divine powers, tore open the space-time continuum and finally returned to Earth.

At this moment, Xue Anshang's breath began to weaken rapidly.

Xue An knew this was the law of heaven on Earth restricting him.

If it were in the past, Xue An could have shattered this weak and pitiful Heavenly Dao with a flick of his finger.

Now, Xue An doesn't even have one-billionth of his former strength.

Moreover, Xue An didn't care about these things.

He just stood wounded, taking in this park.

Originally, he and An often came to this park for a play.

"An, are you... alright?" Xue An murmured softly.

Once upon a time, Xue An had a happy family.

After graduating from university, he arrived in this city with the school belle An, drawing envious and jealous glances from everyone. They began a sweet life together.

At that time, the two of them had no money and could only live in a small room.

But those days were incredibly happy.

Every day, when Xue An got off work, An would have already cooked dinner and be waiting for him at home.

Xue An had thought life would go on like this, happily and peacefully.

Then maybe later.

And's family chased after her to this city.

Only then did Xue An realize that An's identity was actually that of the only daughter of the Zhongdu An family.

Everybody settled in!

This is a behemoth-level giant, its strength is so profound that many national enterprises are just their subsidiaries.

And An is the legitimate son of the An family.

So, the family absolutely forbids An He and Xue An from being together. They are just ordinary men.

Ke An was determined not to go back, even threatening to sever ties with his family.

Having no other choice, the man who came to receive An left a parting word of "take care" and then departed from Bei Jiang.

But this was just the beginning, subsequently Xue An became unemployed, and no company dared to hire him.

Unable to do anything else, Xue An went to work on a construction site. No matter how hard the work was, he would always volunteer to do it first.

It's not for others.

This is because Ann is already pregnant.

But as her belly grew bigger and she was nearing her due date, Xue An disappeared due to an accident on the construction site.

Only Xue An knew that because of that accident, he had entered a strange world of gods and demons where the weak were preyed upon by the strong.

And this departure, was for three thousand years.

Suddenly.

His whole body trembled, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

He returned after three thousand years, but he didn't expect that only four years had passed on Earth.

This also means that An is still alive!

Although bound by the rules of heaven, Xue An's remaining strength is still formidable.

He closed his eyes, and his divine sense enveloped the entire city of Bei Jiang in an instant.

But the result was nothing.

Indeed....

An has already left Beijiang.

Xue Anjiao couldn't help but wryly smile. Her sudden disappearance must have been a huge blow!

"Hey, I'm back!"

Have our children been born?

"Is it a boy or a girl? You said you like children the most, so it must be a pretty little girl, right?"

Xue An murmured to herself, then began searching for people connected to her using her divine consciousness.

Found it!

Huh?

How come there are two!

Xue An was taken aback, a smile slowly appearing at the corner of his mouth, and then his whole person vanished into the snowy night.

On the streets of Beijiang City, a couple is admiring the snow scene.

"Brother, sister, you are so pretty, let's buy a flower to give her!" A timid voice came from behind.

Turning back, they saw a child carrying a basket of flowers, looking at them with hopeful eyes.

This child is only four or five years old, with a face as delicately carved as jade. He has large eyes, a tiny nose, and long eyelashes, making one want to take a bite out of him.

"Such a sweet child, are you still selling flowers out in this cold?" The child crouched down and asked with a smile.

The little kid smiled, and both of his dimples showed. "Hmm, sister, I'm not cold, let's buy a flower!"

“Buy one!” The man also laughed and took out his money.

Just then, another child who looked almost exactly the same walked over, “Brother, buy two! One for each of us!”

Two children, not only do they look the same, but their clothes are also the same. Standing together, they can melt anyone's heart.

"Goodness, are they twins?"

This painting is simply amazing.

Which one of you is the elder sister, and which one is the younger sister?

"Sometimes I'm the older sister!"

Sometimes I am the little sister!

Two children said indignantly.

Such a scene also attracted many passersby, for such a cute child, you have to pay money!

So, in no time, both children's flowers were sold out.

But this also attracted malicious eyes.

Just as two children were carrying a basket of flowers preparing to leave, a fat and stout man blocked their way.

"Two little scoundrels, who allowed you to sell flowers on my turf?" the man roared.

Two little girls were startled and then timidly said, "Auntie, we didn't know this was your territory! We'll leave now!"

"Want to leave?" A man waved his hand, and several unfriendly-looking men surrounded the two children.

This person is truly the neighborhood kingpin, known as "Sister."

It's been a long time since I saw these twin sisters. Seeing that they sold so many flowers in just a short while, I had a wicked thought in my mind.

If you could catch hold of it, wouldn't that be like having a money tree at your disposal?

Both children were terrified, one pushing the other and saying, "Sister, run!"

"Run? None of you can escape!" she said with a sinister smile.

These several men also gathered around.

Although the children wanted to run away, they were only four or five years old. How could they possibly be a match for these adults?

He was caught soon.

"Aunty, please let us go! We won't do it again!"

"Give me back my fat Auntie? Let me tell you, I've already investigated the both of you. You're just orphans! If you behave yourselves, I can take care of you. Otherwise... humph!" Sister

"We are not wild children, we have a daddy and a mommy!" the two children shouted.

“Oh? Then your mommy and daddy should come save you!” Sis flashed a big yellow tooth while smiling.

Two children's faces grew dim at their older sister's words, they whispered, "We aren't wild children, our mommy and daddy just went to a very far place, they will come back!"

"Haha, I laughed out loud! That's what you get for being a wild child, all my words are useless!" said the elder sister with a smile.

"Do you know that when you smile, it's really disgusting!"

Accompanied by a calm voice, her laughter ceased abruptly, and a shadow appeared at the end of the alley.

The wind and snow are raging right now, but this figure strides over like a knife, slowly approaching.

"Who is it? My sister's handling things, get out of here if you're not involved!" One man under the woman barked.

Two children shouted loudly, "Uncle, save us!"

The one who came was naturally Xue An. He looked at the two captured children, that feeling from the pulse told him that these two children were his own!

His heart leaped.

Is this your child?

Indeed, she looks just like Annie.

No, those eyes look more like his own.

Xue An didn't look and seemed a little crazy.

"Are you deaf? I told you to get lost, can't you hear me?" One of the men cursed and shoved Xue An.

But the next moment, his arm was severed at the wrist.

A vibrant red surged forth, splattering onto the snow, a shocking crimson.

"Ahhhhhhh...!" The man first froze for a moment, then screamed in agony from the intense pain.

Xue An surveyed the people present, slowly counting: "One, two, three..."

"What the hell are you doing?!" someone roared, ready to charge.

But just as he burst out, his knees shattered.

Xue An waved his hand, and the wind and snow blocked the two children's vision.

Then, he said to his sister in a faint voice: "There are eight of us in total. Remember on the Huangquan Road, don't get lost!"

My sister felt that this man's eyes were like those of a supreme emperor, and she didn't even have the qualification to kneel and submit.

"No…Spare me…"

The conversation was cut short as a flame erupted from beneath the feet of my sister and her companions.

In the blink of an eye, the eight people were reduced to ashes.
