Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 166 Family

In the original Jiangnan base city on Earth, on a rather retro pedestrian street, a young woman carrying large and small shopping bags was casually strolling around.

She was dressed casually, wearing a short-sleeved white t-shirt, light blue denim shorts, and white flat canvas shoes. Her fair and beautiful legs were quite eye-catching.

Although her clothes were simple, she was exceptionally beautiful, attracting the attention of many people from time to time.

She had shoulder-length hair, a fair and oval face, very beautiful clear and bright eyes, and glossy red lips. Her face was delicate and slightly aloof, yet she had a sweet smile.

The space rippled slightly, and Zhou Yang's figure appeared in front of the woman.

He looked at the woman and couldn't help but chuckle:

"Hey, King Yumeng, how come you, a peak-level King-level expert, have come to Earth to experience the life of an ordinary mortal?"

The woman before him was none other than the Dream King, with whom he had once traveled for a time in the Time-Space Prison.

Previously, this Queen Yu Meng had always worn an extremely dazzling seven-colored battle armor, resembling a valiant female war goddess.

But at this moment, he was dressed as a female college student from Earth before the Great Nirvana, and this stark contrast made Zhou Yang feel slightly disoriented.

"Huh!"

Yu Mengwang's beautiful eyes looked forward, and when he saw Zhou Yang's figure, a slight light shone in his eyes.

"Should I address you as Prince Zhou Yang, or as King Reincarnation?"

Yu Mengwang pouted her rosy lips, revealing an extremely playful expression.

Zhou Yang, noticing the growing attention around him, smiled faintly:

"Let's go, let's talk somewhere else."

Yangzhou City, Mingyue Residential Area.

After nearly seven thousand years of transformation and development, many places on Earth have undergone tremendous changes.

This includes rebuilding cities in the wastelands previously inhabited by those monsters, as well as carrying out large-scale renovations of existing base cities.

However, as the former residence of Zhou Yang, the Earth Lord, Mingyue Community was not subject to any arbitrary damage. In fact, a great deal of resources were spent to continuously reinforce the buildings in the community.

This is why it has been preserved intact even after nearly seven thousand years of erosion.

At Villa No. 188 in Mingyue Residential Area, Zhou Yang and Yu Mengwang appeared in the courtyard.

Looking at the two familiar figures busy in the small flowerbed in the corner of the yard, Zhou Yang's gaze became somewhat unfocused.

For nearly seven thousand years, I have been immersed in cultivation.

Especially after entering the extraterritorial battlefield, in order to conceal his identity and whereabouts, his clone also completely disappeared and no longer showed himself casually.

Over the years, apart from occasionally chatting with my parents in the virtual universe, I have almost never truly spent time with them.

Zhou Yong and Wang Shumei, having evolved to the World Lord level with the resources provided by Zhou Yang, are now able to travel the universe and experience beautiful scenery and delicious food that they cannot see on Earth.

However, according to Zhou Yang's understanding, his parents had never left Earth in the past seven thousand years, and rarely even left the area of ​​Yangzhou City.

The reason why even Zhou Yong, who always loved being out and about, had become such a homebody can be inferred from the content of their casual conversations with old acquaintances like Uncle Liu and Uncle Lei.

"We can't go too far. What if Yangyang wants to come home someday and no one's home?"

To be honest, Zhou Yang felt a mix of emotions at that moment.

Strictly speaking, since I transmigrated here, it's like I've taken over someone else's son's body.

He went from being an orphan who was often looked down upon in his previous life to a little "rich second generation" with a martial arts father and a gentle mother. His fate can be said to have undergone an earth-shattering change.

But what about the soul that originally belonged to Zhou Yang's body?

To put it nicely, his soul merged with the soul of the person who transmigrated, and the two became indistinguishable.

However, to put it bluntly, isn't this also a form of possession? It's as if Zhou Yang's soul from his previous life on Earth has taken over the body of Zhou Yang in this world.

From this perspective alone, Zhou Yang felt incredibly ashamed that he had taken over someone else's son's body but failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a son.

He spoke to the busy figures, his voice trembling slightly.

"Mom and Dad."

Zhou Yong was helping Wang Shumei carefully plant a rare flower, almost extinct on Earth, into a flowerbed in the corner of the courtyard when he heard the call. Both of them paused and quickly looked up.

When they saw that figure, which had clearly matured yet remained familiar, their faces couldn't help but show a look of surprise and delight.

"Yangyang!"

"Son, you're back!"

Zhou Yong casually tossed aside the small flower hoe in his hand and quickly pulled Wang Shumei up to greet them.

"Haha, good lad, you've gotten much stronger!"

Zhou Yong came up and gave Zhou Yang a big hug, patting him hard on the back twice.

However, Zhou Yang's mental strength was now exceptionally strong, so he easily noticed Zhou Yong's slightly reddened eyes.

"Dad, Mom, I'm home!"

Zhou Yang's voice was also choked with emotion.

"Okay, okay, it's good that you're back."

Wang Shumei, who is usually gentle and sensitive, appeared calmer at this moment.

As she spoke, she patted Zhou Yong on the shoulder and said irritably:

"Our son finally comes home, and you're just making him stand outside? Can't you see we have other guests?"

As she spoke, she stepped forward and gently took Yu Mengwang's hands in hers.

"Come, young lady, come inside and sit down with me. How come this young lady is so beautiful?"

"Oh? A guest?"

Zhou Yong finally let go of Zhou Yang, and when he saw the lovely little girl next to him, a look of joy bloomed on his face.

"Haha, yes, come in and sit down!"

"Young lady, auntie?"

Zhou Yang couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this.

My mother probably doesn't know that the "young lady" she's talking about is actually many times older than her, this "auntie."

"Mom, this is a friend of mine."

Zhou Yang spoke up to explain, while secretly transmitting his voice to the King of Dreams, "My parents were a bit too enthusiastic, please don't take offense, King of Dreams."

"I didn't even know they were friends. You silly child, you didn't even tell me you had guests coming so I could have prepared!"

Wang Shumei rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.

Upon hearing Zhou Yang's telepathic message, the King of Dreams' eyes flickered slightly, and he took the initiative to link arms with Wang Shumei.

"Hehe, Auntie is beautiful too, she'd be a stunning beauty even in the universe!"

"That girl has such a silver tongue! How can I compare to you? You're the one who's radiant. I've never seen anyone as beautiful as you before."

And so, Wang Shumei and Yu Mengwang, hand in hand, abandoned Zhou Yang and walked into the room on their own.

"Haha, son, you've finally come to your senses! You've nearly driven your mother and me crazy these past few years!"

Zhou Yong patted Zhou Yang hard on the shoulder, his face full of a gratified smile.
