Chapter 247 - Sun Xiaoqin

"Mom, wake up, please,” called out Li Huowang.

As Sun Xiaoqin seemed to hear her son calling out to her, she was in a daze.

She thought that she was dreaming. When she rubbed her eyes and got up from the reclining chair, she was surprised to see Li Huowang looking at her.

“Son? You’ve finally awakened again?”

Sun Xiaoqin quickly took out the nearby calendar and started to jot down. “Son, look at the time intervals at which you’ve awakened. They seem to be shortening. Does this mean that your illness is improving?

Li Huowang smiled at her and nodded. “That’s right. Maybe it really is getting better.”

“That’s wonderful! By the way, are you hungry? How about an orange? Ah, when you’re not awake, you keep talking nonsense, and I don’t even know if you’ve eaten enough,” said Sun Xiaoqin as she took out a red plastic bag filled with oranges and began to peel one of them.

“Mom, I’m not hungry. Have you been accompanying me all this time?” asked Li Huowang.

Sun Xiaoqin sat by his bed while extending her right hand with an orange peel as she gently stroked his face and looked at him lovingly. “Don’t worry, Mom is here. Dr. Wang has also said that me staying by your side and seeing you every day might help improve your condition.”

“Don’t listen to him, he’s a liar,” Li Huowang’s voice quivered as he looked at his mother. N0v3lRealm was the platform where this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.B1n.

“Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you. We won’t call him anymore. Look at how he’s even beaten my son up. When we’ve saved enough money, we’ll go abroad and find the best doctor,” said Sun Xiaoqian.

Hearing her soothing tone, Li Huowang’s lips trembled slightly. Tears began to slowly flow down from his eyes.

“I don’t want the gold! I just want my son to come back!” Sun Xiaoqin leaned forward and hugged Li Huowang’s head as she sobbed loudly.

As he heard those words, Li Huowang’s heart ached deeply. He even considered not eating the Black Taisui so that this side could continue to be with him, and so that he could be together with them. But when he recalled the swollen face he had given Bai Lingmiao, he once again steeled his resolve to never look at this side.

I can’t abandon my reality because of this fake hallucination! I must take responsibility for my actions!

But... it feels so real. Is all this really fake?

Li Huowang held his mother tightly as he took in all her strong emotions.

At that point, Li Huowang saw Wang Wei, who was clad in white, entering the ward with his student.

Li Huowang smiled at him, “Dr. Wang, I’m leaving now, and we might never see each other again. How about we make a bet? Didn’t you say that this side is reality? If you have the ability to make me awaken again, then I’ll admit that this side is reality.”

He continued to hug his mom as he said his final words, and then closed his eyes while smiling.

When he reopened them again, he found that he had returned to the vast Qing Qiu. He looked around at the azure sky and the green grass lands, then took a deep breath.

When the others finished removing the chains that bound him, Li Huowang looked at all of them. Then, he approached Sun Baolu and passed the golden box back to him before turning toward the tent that held the Black Taisui.

Chun Xiaoman watched his back with some concern. When he had been suffering from his hysteria, he had been half laughing and half crying. “Keep an eye on him. I feel that Senior Li is... a little different today.”

Shortly after, they arrived at the tent and saw their Senior Li emotionally holding a piece of the Black Taisui flesh.

“Senior Li, what’s going on? Eating this thing should temporarily cure your hysteria, right? Isn’t that a good thing? Then why is he crying?” asked Sun Baolu. However, his questions went unanswered.

All of them just stood there silently, watching Li Huowang cry as he consumed the flesh in his hands.
