Dreaming for 10,000 years

Chapter 290 Noodle Shop
In the past, in the Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor angrily rebuked Shi Fei for being daring, his voice was like thunder that shook the nine heavens, and his majesty was inviolable. But today, at the door of the noodle shop in this small town, Lao Zhang just looked at Shi Fei in astonishment.

"The demon from outside the domain...you...I..." Lao Zhang wanted to say something about the demon from outside the domain interfering with the destiny, but suddenly he remembered that the destiny had been beaten to pieces by the Emperor of Heaven.

Where is the destiny?
Besides, he is just a mortal and he can’t control the affairs of the demons from outside the realm!

"What's wrong? Why are you so nervous when you see your old rival?" Shi Fei said to Old Zhang who was a little nervous.

Lao Zhang subconsciously touched his pocket and took out an old mobile phone. He said with a bit of vigilance: "We live in a society ruled by law now. Don't mess around! Be careful or I'll call the police!"

Shi Fei smiled silently, he found the world more and more interesting.

"I'm just passing by!" Shi Fei shook his head.

The Jade Emperor, who was once so high and mighty, now looked like an ordinary old man, holding a cell phone and threatening to call the police. This contrast made him shake his head.

He had no intention of causing trouble for Lao Zhang, just as he had no intention of causing trouble for Yang Jian and Nezha. They had changed from gods to mortals, and if Shi Fei still quibbled with them, it would be really ungentlemanly.

As they were talking, there was a burst of hurried footsteps in the noodle shop. A tall young man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes came out from inside. He was wearing an apron stained with oil, which looked a bit out of place.

As soon as he saw Shi Fei, his eyes lit up and he shouted excitedly, "Sword Master!"

Shi Fei turned his head and carefully looked at the young man in front of him, then laughed: "Hey! Isn't this the little brat from back then?"

He recognized him. This was Chenxiang, the young man whom he had taught swordsmanship.

"Master Knife! Why are you here?" Chen Xiang's face was full of enthusiasm. He quickly stepped forward, grabbed Shi Fei's hand, and led him to the noodle shop: "Come in and sit down! If my mother knew you were here, she would be very happy!"

Shi Fei was pulled into the noodle shop by Chen Xiang, and saw a woman standing behind the bar. She looked no more than 34 years old, with a beautiful face and a gentle temperament, and she was looking down at the calculator to calculate the bills.

The bar was piled with sundries, take-away boxes, tissue boxes, and seasoning bottles, making it look a bit messy. The wine cabinet behind the bar was filled with a variety of wines and drinks, adding a bit of fireworks to this small noodle shop.

"Mom! Look who's here?" Chen Xiang shouted excitedly to the woman, "He's the sword master I mentioned, the one who taught me sword skills!"

The woman raised her head, and when she saw Shi Fei, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled with surprise: "You are Chen Xiang's master!"

She quickly walked out from behind the bar and welcomed Shi Fei in warmly, "Come in and sit down! Don't stand at the door!"

She is Yang Chan, Yang Jian's sister and Chen Xiang's mother. Although she looks as young as Chen Xiang's elder sister, her behavior reveals maturity and gentleness.

While inviting Shi Fei to sit down, she was busy pouring him water and bringing him fruit. Her enthusiasm made Shi Fei feel a little embarrassed.

"Don't be so polite, I'm just passing by." Shi Fei took the tea and a bunch of fruits were stuffed into his hands. He smiled helplessly.

"Master, have you eaten? I'll make you some noodles!" Chen Xiang said proudly, "My cooking skills are really good now!"

Shi Fei nodded and said with a smile, "That's fine. I've eaten Nezha's lotus root powder, how about trying your noodles? And my name is not Dao Shi, my name is Shi Fei."

"Okay! Master, wait for me!" Chenxiang ran into the kitchen excitedly. Yang Chan sat opposite Shi Fei, her eyes full of gratitude: "You came here to see Chenxiang, right? Thanks to your teaching Chenxiang, he was able to save me..."

Shi Fei waved his hand and said, "It was just a coincidence back then. I never thought he would achieve such success later." As he spoke, he chatted with Yang Chan.

At this time, Lao Zhang finished his phone call and walked in.

Seeing Yang Chan chatting enthusiastically with Shi Fei, he couldn't help but frowned, sat down at the table, and asked directly: "Did you come here just to eat noodles this time?"

He didn't believe that the demon from outside the region would show up here just to eat a bowl of noodles. Recently, the people from that faction have been making frequent moves. Was the demon from outside the region involved? Was his coming here really just a coincidence?
"Have you finished sweeping the floor outside?" Yang Chan's face suddenly fell, and her tone was as cold as ice. She said to Lao Zhang: "How can you talk to guests like this?"

Yang Chan's childhood was not happy. When she was young, her father and elder brother died one after another, her mother's whereabouts were unknown, and her second brother Yang Jian went out to learn martial arts, leaving her alone to grow up.

During those years, she lived in fear, uneasy day and night, fearing that one day she would not be able to protect herself.

Who is responsible for all this?
It was her uncle! Now that the world had changed drastically, the gods had become mortals. Yang Chan was kind-hearted and accepted her old uncle, but this did not mean that she would treat him well, and naturally she would not worship Lao Zhang.

"I... I am concerned about you, aren't I?" Old Zhang said hesitantly, with a bit of helplessness and grievance in his tone. He did care about Yang Chan and Chen Xiang.

Who could have thought? The Jade Emperor, the Great Celestial Lord, now had to endure the anger of his niece. This scene made Shi Fei feel happy.

Yang Chan continued with a cold face: "Is Chenxiang's master a bad guy?"

"It's hard to say." Lao Zhang said in a low voice.

"You..." Yang Chan's eyebrows were raised, and she wanted to say something. Seeing Yang Chan like this, Lao Zhang waved his hands quickly, with a flattering tone: "Okay, okay, I'll go sweep the floor."

As he said this, he walked out the door with a broom.

Yang Chan looked so much like his sister that when he saw Yang Chan, he was reminded of his sister. The older people get, the more they tend to miss the past... and their loved ones.

The old Zhang now is no longer the Jade Emperor, but an old man in his twilight years.

Shi Fei gave Yang Chan a thumbs up and said jokingly, "If it were a few hundred years ago, you would also be a figure that shook the three realms!"

"Hey! When did that happen?" Yang Chan thought for a moment and said, "I've only been in the human world for a few years, but it feels like the days when I was a fairy were a long time ago. It feels like a lifetime ago!"

Her eyes were a little blurry, as if she had traveled through time and space and returned to the Three Realms. At that time, her mind was filled with cultivation, magic weapons, and heavenly and earthly elixirs.

But now, her life has become so simple, opening the door, buying groceries, cleaning, and caring about how business is today.

Gods have their own affairs, and mortals have their own worries. Without the "halo" of gods, gods are no different from mortals.
