A Middle-Class Family / A Big-Spending Tycoon

Meanwhile, Vignette had also packed her bags and arrived at Yuxian's home.

She said nervously, "I'd like to invite you to my home..."

Inviting others to visit Hell might seem impolite, but after much deliberation, Vignette decided to invite everyone anyway, as it was a rare opportunity.

As a friend, I received a lot of help, so it's only right and proper to show such courtesy.

She was afraid that Yuxian would refuse, after all, not everyone wants to go to hell.

The Yuxian that was originally quite free and with nothing to do suddenly became overwhelming.

Having received invitations to both Heaven and Hell, the choice of which to choose has become a difficult one.

Seeing Yuxian's troubled expression, Vignette smiled and said, "Actually, heaven and hell are very close, so you don't need to be troubled at all."

Is it very close?

"Very close!" This time, not only Vignette, but also Gabriel nodded.

It seems that heaven and hell are really close, which puts Yuxian at ease.

"Then we'll go to Heaven first, and then we'll come to Hell to find you."

Upon hearing this, Satania immediately jumped out, "Why can't we go to hell first and then to heaven? I've already contacted my parents to clean the castle. It's time for you to see the Great Demon Satania's magnificent castle!"

"Is the Satania family's castle very big?" Raphael asked with a smile; she had also arrived.

"Hahaha!" Satania laughed loudly. "Of course, otherwise how could she be worthy of Great Demon like me?"

Raphael smiled without saying a word. In fact, among these people, her family was the real tycoon, owning a large villa in Paradise and even having a butler.

"Let's go! Let's go!"

Yuxian loudly announced that they would set off immediately, a rare display of his high spirits.

"Let's go! Let's go!"

The children joined in the commotion, and of course, they wouldn't refuse the offer to go out and play.

The group set off on their unusual New Year's trip.

Section 415, Chapter 44: Middle-class Families

Standing at the crossroads, to the left is a gloomy hell, and to the right is a bright paradise.

A large sign stands in the middle of the road, indicating the directions to two places.

Heaven and hell are truly separated by a thin line; this is not a metaphor, but a stark reality.

Yuxian couldn't help but complain, "Aren't you guys going to start fighting like this?"

Vignette and the others asked with great curiosity, "Why did they start fighting?"

Clearly, Yuxian's idea is very problematic; heaven and hell are definitely not as opposed as he thinks.

If I had to describe it, it would probably be more like two companies with different philosophies, where the norm is for them to not interfere with each other.

In the end Yuxian and the others decided to go to Heaven first, and then go to Hell to find Vignette and Satania.

Despite Satania's dissatisfaction, which she considered a defeat, she shouted that she wanted to settle things with Gabriel.

But she was dragged by Vignette toward hell.

"I'll come back to pick you up in a couple of days," she said, then dragged Satania away.

"Let's go." Yuxian followed Gabriel and the others into Paradise.

Heaven's review process was indeed very strict. Yuxian waited for a long time before Gabriel busied herself with completing their paperwork.

After truly entering heaven, Raphael bid farewell.

"I'll go home first to prepare dinner. You can all come and eat together later." She smiled and left, pulling her suitcase.

Following Gabriel and Gabriel on their journey to Heaven, the scenery here is incredibly beautiful. It truly lives up to its name as Heaven. The angels living here all seem carefree and full of smiles.

In contrast, Gabriel's distressed expression seemed completely out of place in this environment.

As expected, this useless angel has drifted further and further away from the title of angel.

"I'm back!"

Gabriel's house is a house of moderate size, surrounded by patches of grass. It's not an apartment in the city, but more like a cottage in the countryside.

The door opened, and a small, adorable little girl appeared before me.

Welcome back!

She is Gabriel's sister.

"Huh? Are there any guests?"

Upon seeing Yuxian and his group behind Gabriel and Gabriel, the little girl tilted her head and quickly broke into a happy smile.

"Is she my sister's friend? That's great!"

The house looks a bit old from the outside, but the inside is decorated very warmly.

Aside from some old and outdated furniture, it doesn't feel too out of place.

After sitting down inside, Yuxian said to the children, "Go and play with your little sister."

Gabriel's sister was very happy; she was excited to be playing with so many children.

She took out her toys one by one and showed them to the children, letting them choose what to play with.

Card games, fencing, playing with plastic chips, cat's cradle...

One by one, the game props were placed in front of the children.

Gabriel couldn't bear to look at her and said, "Is the entertainment in the Heavenly Realm still stuck in the Showa era?"

Having endured numerous forms of entertainment in the Human World, Gabriel couldn't understand how she had survived in the Heavenly Realm when she saw such rudimentary entertainment options.

That's really too difficult.

Even Yuxian, a newcomer to the city, found it hard to watch.

No wonder Gabriel didn't want to come back once she arrived in the Human World; the difference was just too great.

Yuxian said to the children, "Go play outside."

He knew these children must be hiding a lot of fun things, and it wouldn't be appropriate to take them out here. With that old-fashioned angel Gabriel still here, it wouldn't be good to openly corrupt her sister.

After the children went outside to play, Gabriel stood up and said, "I'll go get some snacks to treat everyone."

Soon she came over with a plate of fried beans.

Looking at the fried beans in front of him, Yuxian gently picked one up and put it in his mouth.

Boom!

The taste was actually not bad, it was just a bit hard.

He gave Gabriel a look that said, "I understand you."

This isn't heaven; this is hell.

No, even hell isn't this bad.

Without abundant entertainment and delicious food, life is truly difficult for the angels living here.

Jeanne d'Arc gently hugged Gabriel and said sadly, "Gabriel, I didn't know your family's financial situation was so bad. It must have been so difficult for you to become such an excellent angel. You must have had a very hard time."

Gabriel blinked, puzzled, and said, "No way, my family is considered a middle-class family in the Heavenly Realm."

Upon hearing this, Yuxian immediately looked at Gabriel and asked her for confirmation.

Gabriel nodded helplessly, acknowledging Gabriel's statement and confirming that her sister wasn't talking nonsense.

Middle-class family? That's it?

Yuxian was immediately disappointed with Paradise, as it was completely different from what he had imagined.

After sitting in Gabriel's house for a while, when it was time to say goodbye, Gabriel and her sister waved vigorously to everyone.

Gabriel then led everyone to Raphael's house.

On the way, Little Jeanne d'Arc whispered to Yuxian, "Master, that little girl is so pitiful, she doesn't even have a decent toy."

Yuxian patted her head, and then Little Jeanne said, "It seems that Santa Claus's business scope will need to be expanded in the future. I just secretly gave her that game console that I've been playing for a long time. I hope she likes it."

Yuxian blinked and said, "She'll definitely like it."

Sure enough, at Gabriel's house, the little girl was telling Gabriel what had just happened.

"Sister Xiaojia, those older sisters just gave me a really fun toy."

"Oh," Gabriel asked casually, "What is it?"

"Look!"

The little girl took out the game console and held it out in front of Gabriel.

Gabriel could tell at a glance that this was an old-fashioned game console, the kind that had been phased out. She owned the latest game consoles in the Human World, and she hadn't played this model for a long time.

Gabriel patted her little sister's head and said meaningfully, "You must study hard. When you come to the Human World in the future, you will encounter many fun things."

"Yes!" The little girl nodded emphatically. "I will try my best to become the top student at Angel School, just like my sister!"

She clearly took Gabriel's words as encouragement, and her two older sisters had always been outstanding angels, a fact universally acknowledged in Heaven.

Gabriel thought to herself, "My foolish sister, when you become the top student and go to the Human World to cultivate, you will know how ridiculous all of this is."

Gabriel sighed, "This is the price of growing up!"

"Oh well! Who cares?" Gabriel decided to take a good nap while her sister played video games.

Since I couldn't bring back any gaming equipment, I can only get by by sleeping.

"I really want to go back to the Human World soon," Gabriel longed for.

Chapter 45, Section 416: The Dog Tycoon

"Welcome everyone! The young lady is already waiting inside."

Standing in front of the gate of Raphael's villa, the butler greeted them with very standard etiquette.

Yuxian looked at the several-meter-high iron gate in front of him and couldn't help but curl his lip.

What a rich bastard!

This is no longer a villa. Stepping through the gate, you're greeted by a spacious courtyard that seems to stretch to the horizon, a spotless environment, and beautifully manicured flowers.

It's true that everything is subject to comparison. I didn't think much of Gabriel's house before, but now that I see it, it's practically a slum.

Upon entering the villa, Raphael ran down and started talking to everyone.

"You've arrived!"

She was happy to have friends come to her home. Raphael didn't like the empty feeling of living in such a house; she preferred being with her friends.

"I have to say, your house is way too big," Yuxian clicked his tongue a few times.

Raphael laughed and said, "It's alright, it is a little big indeed."

Yuxian was speechless. Is this just a little big? This is absolutely huge!

"Please have some tea!"

The butler promptly poured tea for everyone; the high-end tea set and exquisite teacups looked extremely expensive.

"The gap between rich and poor in Heaven is huge. Gabriel's family can only afford to eat fried beans."

Yuxian took a small sip of the steaming hot black tea and spoke frankly.

Raphael said with a smile, "They're all useless stuff. Maybe fried beans would taste better."
