Immortal Becomes a Stay-at-home Dad After Return

Translator: Cold Love

Chapter 1: Return

Zhong Hai city, Kang Ju district.

Kang Ju district was a small residential district situated in the suburbs of Zhong Hai city. The living environment wasn’t quite good and the residential committee exists in name only. In addition, the small district was constructed way back in time.

Hence, even though the metal gates below the apartments were rusted and even locking the gates became a problem, the metal gates remained unrepaired.

A shabbily dressed man stood at the gate of the small district. Chen Xi gazed at a few kids that were happily playing soccer in the garden, he suddenly felt as if a generation has passed.

A generation had passed…

Indeed, it's already 500 years, 5 centuries long.

It's like dreaming for a long long time. That was until he firmly stood on the ground and carefully felt the familiarity of the surroundings.

His master once said to him that he could not let go of a certain obsession, hence, he could only cultivate up to this stage.

Regarding this, Chen Xi did not agree with it in the slightest bit.

So what if your cultivation is high?

Just to live for 1,000 more years? 10,000 more years? Even achieving immortality.

Pei!

He was long sick of the world that used any methods and schemed against each other just to achieve cultivation resources.

If not for the fragments of obsession in his heart, Chen Xi would not have endured it till now and become a pile of yellow dirt in that cruel world.

To think back, what's the difference between the so called cultivators and the captived animals fighting for food in an enclosure.

Earth is still better ah, even breathing in the haze felt comfortable…

Chen Xi could not help but laughed while sweetly thinking of it.

Not too far away, a four five year old boy was looking at a dumb weird man in front of him.

When he was about to move closer to survey the weird man, a fat woman quickly rushed forward and pulled his ear while dragging him towards the apartment.

While walking, the fat woman chided, "You never listen, how many must I tell you to stay away from these mad man. Be careful or he will catch you and eat you.

After hearing the fat woman's threat, the little boy was evidently more frightened than before. He immediately shrunk into the fat woman's arms and hid within the apartmemt under her protection.

Chen Xi silently stood at the side and watched the scene played out. His face was in '囧' expression. Next, he looked down at himself and helplessly laughed.

His appearance now was extremely pitiful.

The long white robe had long became straps of cloth, his hair was in a mess like a chicken nest and there were a few obvious burn marks on his body.

If he walked out like these, it would not be weird if people regarded him as a mad man that search for trash in rubbish bins on the street.

His god imprint was damaged, lost all his cultivation and suffered several internal injuries. It had cost him all these just to return.

Despite his pitiful state, at least he successfully returned alive?

Using his god stage cultivation to forcefully travel through the void, stepping into countless cracks in the void, traversing passed a myriad of stellar and finally returned to Earth after several hardships.

Not to exaggerate, one can say that this act was the first and last.

After calming himself, he walked towards that familiar direction.

As he walked closer towards the familiar apartment, his heart beat fastened.

He had not felt this insecure and nervous feeling for 500 years!

He cultivated tediously for 500 years in the cultivation world. He started off as a nobody and eventually became a heavenly shattering deity. In the end, he abandoned everything and forcefully travelled back, even if it costs him his life.

Actually, it's all due to the pile of obsession in his heart.

Since there was no hope of becoming an emperor in this life, why not return to his roots and rest.

Prepared for death, Chen Xi set off just like that and the heaven seemed to have opened their eyes.

At first, he thought that all he could see was ruins of the past, but who would have thought that when he returned, Chen Xi shockingly discovered that only 5 years had passed on Earth.

Only 5 years had passed!!!

As to what cause this, Chen Xi could not and do not want to understand.

All he cares right now is a question.

5 years had passes, is she…

Is she okay?

Is she now…

Suddenly, Chen Xi don't dare to think about it any further.

He, who used only 500 years to achieve the position of Godly Monarch, revered as the Heavenly ranked Sovereign, suddenly felt afraid.

Last year, this day, this gate. Both man and peach tree accompanied each other.

Not knows where man might go, peach tree remains unchanging.

'Nevermind…If you married another one, I will still fulfil the promise that I made to you that day…'

After seemingly making a decision, Chen Xi abandoned the distracting thoughts and took a big step over the familiar metal gate.

I crossed beyond cultivation, not for immortality, but to bless you with happiness and peacefulness in this life!

…

Third floor.

Second room to the right, 302.

When he saw the faded piece of paper with the word '福' on the door, Chen Xi suddenly froze.

The word '福' and the couplet remained the same.

Before he disappeared, he had personally pasted those with her.

Could it be…

She is still waiting for me?

Chen Xi slightly lift up his shuddering right hand and softly knocked on the door.

The him now is like groom standing on the stage of a wedding ceremony, preparing to welcome the bride.

Chen Xi arranged his ragged clothes, making them slightly more pleasing to the eye.

Next, he grabbed his hair. This familiar action was like 500 years ago, when he was still in university. Every morning, before going on a date, he would stand in front of the mirror made a signature move.

"Who?"

After a short while, Chen Xi heard a voice coming from inside.

The moment he heard the voice, Chen Xi felt that his heart suddenly became extremely empty.

This is not her voice…

Definitely not.

Maybe it's to testify Chen Xi's guess, once the voice died down, the door opened.

Standing behind the door was a fifty sixty year old woman.

When the woman saw Chen Xi's shabby appearance, a trace of wariness flashed across her eyes. She thought that the person has came to rob the house.

"What do you want!" The woman purposely raised her voice and askingly roared.

She was a bit afraid of the person in front of her, hence, she purposely raised her voice to alert the neighbours.

"Elder sister, I'm not some bad person…"

Chen Xi helplessly took a few steps back and tried his best to squeeze out a smile, "I used to live here, but I left and only my wife stayed here…Big Aunt, do you know when she moved?"

"What thing? I've been staying here all along! It has been a few years already! How come I didn't see you before? Are you here to steal? I'm going to call the police if you don't go!"

"Don't, don't, don't. I'll go, I'll go…"

Chen Xi helplessly smiled. After taking a deep glance at the door number, he reluctantly walked down the stairs.

It is Impossible that he had remembered wrongly. Impossible.

This is his home.

At least, it was.

The big aunt hid behind the door and upon seeing the leaving Chen Xi, she let out a breath of relief.

When she sneakily sized up Chen Xi's side, the big aunt seemed to have thought of something. Without a care, she immediately opened the door and rushed out.

"Aye, wait a minute.."

The big aunt came to his front and raised her head. While gazing at his face, she felt that he looked like the person in the photograph.

Suddenly, she grabbed Chen Xi's shoulders and said with excitement, "It's you, so it's you! Chen fellow! You finally come back!"

"You…Are you aunty Zhang?"

In the past, he only saw aunty Zhang once from a far. Hence, Chen Xi would not have much impression of aunty Zhang, luckily aunty Zhang recognized him.

"How did you become like this? If not for the photographs that you guys left all over the house, I would not have recognized you today…Thank the heaven and earth, luckily I did not chase you away…You finally came back, where have you been all these years? Do you know how tough it is on her while waiting for you…"

Aunty Zhang pulled on Chen Xi while speaking agitatedly. As she was speaking, she suddenly thought of something sad and tears started to stream down her face.

"Aunty Zhang, I'm so sorry. This is my fault, I didn't take good care of her."

Looking at aunty Zhang, a wave of sourness unknowingly invaded his heart.

His long sturdy and strong mental state felt a surge of pain.

They once promised each other to depend and help each other through difficulties, who would have thought that Chen Xi would silently leave.

Just this leave, 5 years have gone by.

"Aunty Zhang, is she at home?" Chen Xi shakingly asked.

Nevertheless, aunty Zhang wiped her tears and continued, "She left, since a long time ago. When she left, she did not say where she is going…"

"Left?"

Although he had already made countless preparations, Chen Xi still could not accept the fact upon hearing it from aunty Zhang.

Just when Chen Xi calmed down and was about to ask aunty Zhang for more details, a crispy voice came from above.

"Grandma, what are you doing?"

Chen Xi looked towards the voice. All he saw was four five year old girl standing at the staircase.

"Nian Nian, look, your father is back."

Aunty Zhang waved her hand and called the girl over. She squatted by her side and pointed at Chen Xi, "Look, don't you want a father? Now that your father is back, quickly call Papa."

Chen Xi was stunned.

Looking at the jade-like delicate little girl, and once again looking at aunty Zhang's serious expression, he was froze shocked.

The small girl timidly glanced at Chen Xi and after much encouragement from aunty Zhang, she nervously and insecurely called out.

"Papa…"

Chen Xi's mind exploded!

Although it was very soft, it resounded like thunder in his ears, causing his hair to stand on its end.

"Papa!"

When there was no response, the small girl called again.

However, this time round, she was no longer that afraid, her large bright eyes contained a hint of anticipation.

"She gave birth to a daughter?"

Chen Xi instantly squatted and hugged his daughter, the 500 years long loneliness that surrounded his heart finally dissipated completely at this moment.

A generation of Godly Monarch, at this instant, cried.

500 years of longingness, loneliness and struggle, it's all worth it!
