Chapter 253 "Returning Home in Glory"
"Oh, this little Lingqu is really amazing. She gave up her wealthy family to be a princess and insisted on being an orphan in an orphanage! Don't you think she is unlucky?" Aunt Zhang, who runs the breakfast stall next door, says this every time she sees Lingqu.
She recited it from elementary school to junior high school, and every time she finished speaking, she would stuff the three hot meat buns she had prepared into Lingqu's hands.
"You're so unlucky. You're so pitiful. Eat more. You look like a tiny bean sprout, so skinny and small. The bad kids at school love to bully you, and you don't even have rich and powerful parents to stand up for you."
Aunt Zhang's own son squatted on the side and ate cabbage stuffing, looking at Lingqu as it left with resentment.
Uncle Li, who lives across the street and runs a small shop, always opens his mouth and says when he sees Lingqu: "How can you be so stubborn, little girl? You are such a stubborn girl, but you don't know how to act coquettishly. Really..."
But one night on the second day of the Lunar New Year, she suddenly developed a high fever and heavy snow blocked the road. He pedaled his broken tricycle hard to take the dean and Lingqu to the hospital.
The road to the hospital was covered in knee-deep snow. Uncle Li carried Lingqu, who had fainted due to a high fever, on his back and ran towards the hospital cursing, saying that if they had money, their parents would have sent them to the hospital by helicopter long ago, and that they didn't know how to enjoy life.
Later, Xiao Lingqu worked hard, skipped a grade in the high school entrance exam, and was admitted to the best high school here. Firecrackers were set off in the alley for a whole day, sponsored by the owner of the fireworks shop at the end of the alley.
After entering high school, her academic ranking has always been at the top. The neighbors who used to complain about her not knowing how to enjoy her life have stopped talking and started to say that she is the golden phoenix raised by their alley.
One day in her first year of high school, Lingqu beat up a hooligans who had been harassing girls in her school after school. She kicked and slapped the hooligans, and punched them in the eye.
He was completely defenseless the entire time, and it was really embarrassing for an adult.
The gangster held a grudge against her and found out where she lived. He then called a group of his fellow gangsters to the alley in the middle of the night to cause trouble and demand that the dean hand over Lingqu.
The alley was suddenly brightly lit, and the neighbors put on their clothes and shoes and came out to surround the group of hooligans.
"How could our good student Xiao Lingqu, who is both virtuous and academically excellent, hit you?"
"You were the ones who bullied our little Lingqu at school, weren't you? How dare you come here?"
"Look at what they're wearing, they're just a bunch of thugs, beat them up!"
When Lingqu woke up and rushed outside, the group of thugs had been surrounded by neighbors. Some people stopped them from running away, some took advantage of the chaos to beat them, and some were responsible for calling the police.
When the police arrived, Aunt Zhang had still hit the gang leader on the head with the steamer of steamed buns several times.
Without waiting for Lingqu to speak, they started talking to the police at the same time.
"Oh, comrade police officer, it was this group of hooligans who unilaterally harassed our Xiao Lingqu."
"That's right, our Lingqu team won first place in the city last time. They are definitely good students. These little hooligans only know how to bully others."
"They said our little Lingqu hit him? How could our little Lingqu hit him with the hand holding the pen? He even gave him a black eye. I think he drew it on himself!"
The gangsters pointed at their panda eyes and were about to cry. After a brief questioning, the police took them away and finally detained them all on the charge of stealing batteries.
On the day of the college entrance examination, Xiao Lingqu was escorted there by people from the entire alley. She did not follow her teacher's advice to take the route of competition admission, but decided to take the exam.
Finally, the results were announced, and a banner with the city's top scorer in the college entrance examination was hung at the entrance of the alley. Firecrackers rang in the alley for a whole month, and during this month, the wandering Ah Huang and Ah Bai had meat to eat.
She went to the best university to study astronomy, and later her admission to graduate school and exchange program went very smoothly.
The people in the alley didn’t understand these things. They only knew that Xiao Lingqu was very promising and was going to study for a master’s degree abroad.
On the day she left, they all looked sad, complaining about why she had to go so far away, and then secretly gave her money, fearing that she would suffer and miss home.
Later, Uncle Li scolded everyone and told them to stop crying. Why were they crying on such a good day? Wouldn’t it be better for everyone to wait together for Xiao Lingqu to return home in glory?
Everyone agreed and said they were looking forward to Xiao Lingqu returning home in glory. With such expectations, she embarked on the exchange journey abroad.
In the first year of my exchange, the end came.
From that day on, Xiaolingqu took 11 years to return to its hometown in glory and never returned to the alley.

Liuming watched Xu Lingqu quietly as she talked about these past events. When she mentioned some things, he couldn't help but want to cry, but she looked calm.
Xu Lingqu looked at the star gate. "When I first arrived in Lake Arden, I often thought about them. I was worried about how they would survive in this apocalypse, as they were just ordinary people, most of whom were elderly."
"Sometimes I comfort myself by thinking that the situation at Nuwa Base should be better than Lake Arden. I initially climbed the ladder to the position of Chief Law Enforcement Officer just to get more information about Nuwa Base."
"The fact that they are still alive may be the most important reason for me to continue living in the apocalypse. One day the apocalypse will end, and I will return home in glory to be with them."
"But the more time went on, the more I found that I couldn't deceive myself. How could they still be alive in such a doomsday? It's been 11 years, Lumin." Xu Lingqu sighed softly.
According to the time difference between the two worlds and Galaxy's explanation of the mechanism of the Holy Coffin, it should be the moment of her death that the Holy Coffin cultivated her current body. That was the 79th year of the Empire, 16 years from now.
If calculated, the timeline of the doomsday world should be two months after her death.
For two months, Galaxy's seal on the Embers should still be effective, and the mutant beasts and humans are still playing cat and mouse on Earth.
"Ever since I learned that Earth and the Xuanluo Galaxy existed simultaneously, I decided to go back," Xu Lingqu said frankly. "I'm not going back for anyone, but this matter must be resolved."
"It now appears that 70% of Earth's doom is due to their response to Ember's communication, but 30% is due to Yinhe bringing the Holy Coffin here and choosing this place as the environment for my path to godhood."
"I don't think I did anything wrong, but since I started it all, I should end it too."
Liuming no longer refuted. He regretted that his life form was gone and he couldn't rub Xu Lingqu's head to comfort her.
Although Xu Lingqu appeared calm on the surface, Liuming could actually sense her sadness.
Her sadness was like a small river, deep and quiet, gurgling endlessly.
"No matter what kind of danger we encounter, we will fight side by side." Liu Ming said courageously.
"Okay." Xu Lingqu raised her hand and pressed the Baihua Killing Necklace, and the huge mecha instantly flew from the door to her side.
She entered the cockpit and drove through the star gate in the Hundred Flowers Kill.
