Chapter 423: Side Story 2: Familiar Streets

The sun cast a brilliant red light on the horizon, illuminating the entire city. Cars continued to pass through, making harsh noises. Everything seemed to be in order.

On the street, people came and went. They either chatted with each other or lowered their heads to play with their phones. In short, everyone was busy with their own things.

Suddenly, a figure appeared by the roadside, attracting the attention of everyone nearby.

It was a long-haired young man. His upper body was dressed in a white T-shirt, and his lower body was covered in a pair of black jeans. He looked around with a curious gaze, looking out of place.

Of course, this wasn’t the main point. The main point was that the young man held a wine pot in his hand, and he was peerlessly handsome. He was like an immortal that had walked out of a painting. Just by standing there, he gave others a sacred feeling, and it was even to the extent that they wanted to kneel and worship him.

“So handsome!”

A woman gulped and could not help but say.

“Yeah, he’s so handsome!”

Another woman chimed in.

Compared to the young man, idols and celebrities were nothing.

Even the men were shocked and could not feel any jealousy.

After a brief silence, someone quickly took out their phones to take pictures. However, the strange thing was that the camera function had failed!

“How could this be?”

Before they could react, the young man’s figure flashed and instantly disappeared from his original spot, as if he had never existed.

“…”

…

…

“Boss, give me a bowl of ramen.”

“Alright!”

The boss was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was sitting in the room watching television. When he heard the voice, he subconsciously looked up and was slightly stunned.

“What’s wrong?”

“No… nothing.”

The boss hurriedly shook his head and immediately turned to make ramen.

It couldn’t be helped. The young man was too handsome. It was hard not to notice him.

A moment later, the boss brought over a large bowl of ramen and placed it on the table, emitting a faint fragrance. There were a few pieces of minced meat scattered on it, making it extremely enticing.

“Smells good.”

The young man impatiently took a bite with his chopsticks and revealed a satisfied smile.

Although he had not been eaten for hundreds of years, the taste was still familiar.

The young man was other than Qin Jue, who had passed through thousands of worlds and finally returned to Earth.

However, because hundreds of years had passed, Qin Jue could only deliberately undo the seal and forcefully move the timeline.

The current Qin Jue was countless times stronger than hundreds of years ago. He could completely control time at will.

In other words, the Earth Qin Jue was currently on was not the Earth of the normal timeline, but the Earth from hundreds of years ago. It was also the Earth from the time when Qin Jue had just transmigrated to the Spirit Central World.

What was worth mentioning was that in his previous life, Qin Jue often came to this ramen restaurant, but because his appearance had changed drastically, the boss didn’t recognize him.

“Boss, your son should have been admitted to university, right?”

Qin Jue asked as he ate his ramen.

“Yeah, he performed exceptionally and got into North China University. Eh, how did you know?”

The boss was very happy, but then he realized that something was wrong.

“Oh, a friend told me.”

Qin Jue casually cooked up a story.

“Friend?”

“Yeah, his name is Qin Jue.”

“Qin Jue? I see. No wonder.”

The boss understood. “That kid hasn’t been here for two months. I thought he went to another city.”

“He did go to another city and won’t be back again.”

Qin Jue looked up and took a sip of soup.

“I see.”

The boss sighed. “I originally planned to wait for him to come and drink with him. I didn’t expect him to leave without even saying goodbye.”

Because Qin Jue often came to eat noodles, the two of them were basically no different from friends. In their spare time, they would occasionally sit together to drink, brag, and relax.

“In that case, I’ll drink with you on behalf of that friend. How about it?” Qin Jue suggested.

“Huh?”

The boss was stunned. He looked at the gradually darkening sky and nodded. “Alright.”

The two wine cups crossed hundreds of years and collided.

…

After eating the ramen, Qin Jue paid and went out. Suddenly, a familiar singing voice sounded in his ear:

“If those two words hadn’t trembled, I wouldn’t have realized I was uncomfortable.”

“No matter what, it’s just a breakup.”

“If you don’t have any requests for tomorrow, holding hands is like traveling.”

“…”

In his previous life, Qin Jue had actually quite liked Chen’s “Ten Years”. Hearing it now, he sighed with emotion.

However… the time it took for Qin Jue to leave Earth had already far surpassed ten years.

Next, Qin Jue went to the area where he used to live and enveloped himself with spirit energy to enter an invisible state to prevent himself from being treated as a panda like before.

Familiar advertisements, shops, and many peddling sounds filled the entire street with vitality.

Strictly speaking, this city wasn’t considered prosperous and could at most be considered a third-tier city. However, the smoke and fire aura was very likable. Otherwise, Qin Jue wouldn’t have deliberately crossed the Infinite Worlds and moved the time line just to come back and take a look.

“Haha, I had a good time today.”

“Shall we go to the movies tomorrow?”

A couple walked past, talking and laughing.

“Lin Huazhuan! Where did you go?! You only know how to play every day!”

In the distance, the woman grabbed the boy’s ear fiercely.

“Ouch, ouch, ouch! Mom, I won’t do it again!”

The boy named Lin Huazhuan cried desperately.

…

“Hey, did you know? There’s probably going to be a war soon!”

“What? Really?”

“I’m not sure. The news reported last night that the United States has been testing the waters in the Southern Sea. A war might break out at any moment.”

“Hmph, so be it. Why should we be afraid of those guys?!”

“Do you think war is so easy…”

A few old men sat under a tree, holding cattail-leaf fans and waving them vigorously.

“…”

Hearing this, Qin Jue pondered.

War…

Although the Earth Qin Jue was on now belonged to hundreds of years ago, this didn’t stop him from doing some crazy things, such as…

In the next moment, Qin Jue spread out his spirit sense and soared into the sky.

…

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the sea, dying the seawater red. The scene was beautiful and peaceful.

Boom!

At the end of his field of vision, a dazzling golden light flickered, raising thousands of feet of huge waves that quickly swept out, shaking the heavens and the earth!

When the waves fell, the two aircraft carriers and many battleships had all turned to dust and dissipated with the wind.

Not only that, but in just five minutes, almost all the weapons in the United States had been destroyed, including light equipment like firearms and production lines.

In fact, Qin Jue originally planned to raze the entire United States to the ground, but that would inevitably hurt the innocent, so he finally chose to give up.

In any case, the United States, which had lost its weapon, was no different from fish on a chopping board.

After doing this, Qin Jue continued to review his previous life’s experiences and taste delicacies.

Although these foods did not have any spirit qi or heavenly treasures, their taste was excellent, and Qin Jue had never had any requirements for spirit qi.
