"Mom, is everything okay here?" Li Huowang swallowed the smooth egg soup in his mouth and said to Sun Xiaoqin, who was sitting by the bed.

"It's fine, as long as you're okay, everything is fine, Mom doesn't worry about anything." Sun Xiaoqin deliberately smiled and said to Li Huowang.

Although she said so, Li Huowang could still perceive something unusual from some details on her face.

His mother's smile was fake, she was pretending to not worry about him, that's why she said that.

"Mom, don't worry, the electrotherapy in this mental hospital is effective for me, it just takes time to recover, give me a little more time."

"Oh, Mom is not worried, Mom really isn't worried at all, our son will definitely get better." Sun Xiaoqin smiled and shook her head repeatedly.

Li Huowang sighed silently in his heart. Cultivation is much more difficult than he imagined. It will probably take a lot of time to get rid of the difficulties here.

Actually, he has been waiting for so long already, he doesn't mind waiting, but during this long time, his mother will probably continue to suffer from anxiety.

"Do you want to spend more time with her? Pretend that your condition is improving?" Li Huowang quickly dismissed these thoughts in his mind.

Doing that would be a waste of time and would only make his goal seem even further away. It's more valuable to spend this time on cultivation.

Seeing Sun Xiaoqin pretending to be happy, Li Huowang thought for a moment before speaking, "Mom, when I get out of here, I want to play games. I want to play computer games for a whole year, is that okay?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Xiaoqin's eyes immediately lit up. "Sure! Sure! When that time comes, I'll specially peel fruits for you on the side! You can play as long as you want!"

"If you're not satisfied playing alone, let your dad play with you! He'll accompany you all night!"

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pwread.com".

Li Huowang's mouth slightly curved upwards, nodding in approval, and then said, "After I recover, let's travel around the world, go bungee jumping, do things we haven't done before."

"Oh, bungee jumping, I dare not. You and your dad can go, I'll just watch videos of others doing it on Douyin, it makes my heart beat faster."

As Li Huowang's topic shifted to their fantasies after leaving the hospital, Sun Xiaoqin's attention quickly shifted as well. The two of them chatted happily, and a natural smile appeared on her face.

Seeing his mother finally happy, Li Huowang sighed lightly in his heart.

There's not much he can do now, the only thing he can do is to use the small tricks of the Taoist sects to make his mother happy.

"Son, do you want to play games? Should I bring your handheld game console over?"

"No need, Mom, besides, I can't play right now."

"Oh, right, what about cartoons? Didn't you used to love watching cartoons? I heard there's a really interesting one recently, I can play it on my phone for you."

Watching Sun Xiaoqin searching for her phone in her bag, Li Huowang smiled bitterly in his heart. He is no longer the high school student Li Huowang he used to be, he is not interested in new anime.

Thinking about this, Li Huowang paused for a moment. Isn't he only eighteen years old this year? Why does he feel so old?

Compared to this young body, he seems more suitable for a body that is a little older.

"But speaking of which, is it because that side has two fewer hours in a day than this side, that's why the bodies there are older?"

"Wait. Does this mean that both sides are actually real?"

Li Huowang furrowed his brows as he pondered this question, but without any other evidence, this speculation can only be groundless.

"Forget it, since I've decided to use cultivation to make this side completely real, there's no need to think about it anymore."

Seeing Sun Xiaoqin holding an old cracked screen phone and opening a VIP membership for a mobile app, Li Huowang quickly stopped her.

"Mom, don't do that, it's a waste of money, I'll be leaving soon."

Sun Xiaoqin's smile gradually disappeared upon hearing this. "So soon? Just one meal and you're leaving again? Son, can you really control when you'll be sober? Is this a sign of recovery?"

"Well, sort of. Mom, I'll come back to accompany you for dinner in three days."

Sun Xiaoqin reluctantly put her phone back in her bag. "Alright then. I'll be waiting, don't forget."

"I won't forget, oh right, Mom, one last thing, do you have any news about Nana? Is she feeling better?" Li Huowang's mind conjured up the image of the cute girl who smiled at him.

"Nana is fine, I heard she didn't need to be hospitalized, the doctor just gave her some medicine and let her go back to school."

"Ah, if it weren't for your illness, Nana could have been my daughter-in-law. I, as her mother-in-law, would have been so happy, I've liked that child since she was little."

"Mom, don't worry, when I recover, I will definitely pursue Nana and make her my wife for you!"

"Oh my, when did my son become so eloquent? Alright! I'll be waiting to drink the wedding wine of my son!" Sun Xiaoqin, who was worried a moment ago, became happy again.

As the world around Li Huowang gradually condensed, he returned to that pitch-black world where there was no light. Although he had been blind for a while, he still couldn't adapt.

"Li Sui?" Li Huowang reached out his hand towards the front.

Soon, Li Huowang touched a sticky, bony hand with sharp nails. "Dad, I'm here."

"Let's go, take me back to the village."

"Dad, you just picked up something from the ground earlier--""What I just ate was an egg custard!" Li Huowang interrupted Li Sui's words directly, and repeated it again. "What I just ate was an egg custard."

After thinking for a while, Li Sui reopened his mouth and asked, "Really? Where? I want to eat too."

"Alright, let's go back to the village first. Once we're there, let young Yang make it for you. Mom, stop watching here, I can't clear my mind right now. I'll definitely be there for dinner in three days."

Under Li Sui's guidance, Li Huowang followed the rugged mountain road and returned to the Bai family's mansion.

After returning to his residence, Li Huowang sat on a stool and called out to Li Sui who was about to go to the kitchen. "Take off the gauze on my face and see how my eyes have recovered."

After Li Sui gently removed the gauze, a beam of light shot into the darkness, causing Li Huowang to squint his eyes instantly. It was too bright.

When he slowly opened his eyes again, he found that his world had finally returned to normal, his blind eyes had recovered.

After glancing at the black tile roof outside the window, Li Huowang focused his attention on Li Sui.

He took off his bamboo hat, untied his straw raincoat, and Li Huowang fully took in Li Sui's new appearance.
