Long Road to Stardom

"The goddess is so soft-hearted, can she really survive in such a cannibalistic environment?"

"If he can cultivate immortality, then he can protect her."

Sun Xiuyuan's thoughts drifted away. He recalled the sudden change in "Jingyang City" that day. He fell in love with the goddess at the first sight. He had never understood why his mother missed his father, but now he understood.

After that, he kept looking for books about immortals, and indeed he found quite a few. Unfortunately, there was no technique to cultivate immortality, and he also didn't know whether he had the spiritual roots mentioned in the books.

"If it's just to test whether I have spiritual roots, the goddess shouldn't refuse!" Sun Xiuyuan looked at the goddess' back and fell into deep thought. Although the appearance was very different, he recognized her at a glance. He was just a little uncertain before, but after getting to know her, he knew that she was the goddess who saved 'Jingyang City' that day. Sun Xiuyuan looked at the back in front of him and fell into deep thought.

Lin Xing had no idea what Sun Xiuyuan was thinking, but what was happening in front of her made her very depressed.

"She doesn't understand, how can saving a mortal have no effect at all?"

"She absorbed the death energy surrounding her body and also injected a breath of life energy to restore her physical problems. Why is it that she still clearly senses that Sun Xiuyuan's mother won't have much time left?" Lin Xing thought a little depressed.

Just as she was getting entangled in confusion, death energy began to emerge from Ji Yilan's body on the bed, and soon her body was surrounded by death energy.

Lin Xing was filled with surprise when he saw this.

"What's going on?"

Just as he was about to go forward and investigate carefully, Ji Yilan on the bed moved her fingers slightly, and it was obvious that she was about to wake up.

Lin Xing flashed to the table and chairs in Sun Xiuyuan's house, found a chair and sat down, and transformed himself into a man.

A closer look at her changed appearance revealed that she was obviously the man who had humiliated Sun Xiuyuan in the teahouse.

After this series of operations, even though he was mentally prepared to know that she was a goddess, Sun Xiuyuan was still stunned. Especially after seeing the goddess's changing appearance, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

When Lin Xing saw Sun Xiuyuan's expression, she knew that she was being a little unkind, but she changed her mind at the last minute and made sure to choose an appearance that would leave a more impressive impression.

To hide her embarrassment, she turned her head, poured herself a glass of water and drank it slowly.

Fortunately, it didn't last long. Ji Yilan woke up in the room and called out habitually, "Yuan'er, are you there?"

"Mom, I'm here." Sun Xiuyuan replied softly.

Although the sound was not loud, Ji Yilan inside still heard it and felt relieved.

Just as she was about to get out of bed, she realized that her body had become much lighter. Even so, she knew that she didn't have much time left.

“Is this a last gasp?”

Ji Yilan thought of this unconsciously, took out a dark green jade pendant from her arms, stroked the word Sun carved on the jade pendant, and murmured, "Sun Lang, it's been almost sixteen years, why haven't you come back yet?"

Tears silently dripped on the jade pendant, but unfortunately no one responded to her words.

Lin Xing, who was drinking water, overheard these words and became very curious.

She secretly glanced at Sun Xiuyuan and found that he had no reaction. Then she remembered that Sun Xiuyuan was a mere mortal and must not have heard what her mother said at such a long distance. The curious heart that was rising in her heart instantly subsided and she sighed subconsciously.

He had no idea that Ji Yilan in the room heard it.

When Ji Yilan heard the sigh, she hurriedly put away the jade pendant in her hand and asked outside the door, "Yuan'er, are there any guests coming?"

"Mom, my classmate wants to see me for something. I'll take him away right now."

"Yuan'er, what are you doing? You brought your classmates back for the first time, and you didn't even treat them well."

But Ji Yilan walked out of the room with an angry face. When she saw the people next to her son, she immediately changed her face and said kindly, "Son, sit down and have a cup of tea before leaving."

This rapid change of expression made Lin Xing amazed, but he did not forget his current status and smiled and replied, "Aunt, I have already drunk it, so I won't bother you any more."

"It's getting late, I should go back. I'll bother you next time."

Seeing that it was indeed getting late outside, Ji Yilan had no choice but to say, "Kid, be careful on the road."

"I will, aunt." Lin Xing said, bowed, and then walked towards the door. Soon he disappeared from Ji Yilan's sight.

Only then did Sun Xiuyuan understand the goddess' intention. If a girl suddenly appeared in his house, it would be difficult to explain and cause a lot of trouble.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that Lin Xing was even more depressed. She had clearly made Sun Xiuyuan's mother fall into a deep sleep, but it had no effect at all. She didn't know what went wrong.

However, when I thought that Sun Xiuyuan's father might be a cultivator, I felt much less depressed. I guess his mother must have something left by his father, which is why she is like this!

And what was the problem with his mother's health? Why couldn't she be cured?

At this time, Lin Xing was squatting on the roof of Sun Xiuyuan's house, thinking in confusion.

After seeing the people leave, Ji Yilan turned around and scolded Sun Xiuyuan, "Yuan'er, there are guests coming, why don't you wake up your mother? This is really rude."

"Mom, I saw you just fell asleep, so I didn't have the heart to wake you up."

"Besides, he won't take this little thing to heart, so don't worry!"

"That being said, don't do this next time. I noticed that there seems to be some rift between you two. It's better to talk about some things openly."

"Mother, I know."

Sun Xiuyuan agreed indifferently, but couldn't help sighing in his heart. The gap between him and her was more than just a simple estrangement. There was no possibility of any intersection between mortals and immortals. It would be great if he could become an immortal.

Just now he didn't even have the chance to let the goddess check whether he had spiritual roots. Now that the goddess is gone, who knows if she will come back?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

Ji Yilan looked at her son with a worried look on his face and asked, "Yuan'er, are you worried about something?"

"Mom, I'm fine. I just feel a little emotional."

"It's okay. Come in with me. I have something to tell you."

"Got it, mom. I'll go get the medicine first, otherwise it won't be effective if it gets cold."

"Go ahead, Mom is waiting for you in the room."

Sun Xiuyuan watched his mother return to the room before walking towards the kitchen.

After pouring the medicine, he walked straight to the door of the room and asked, "Mom, I'm coming in."

When he walked into the room, Sun Xiuyuan saw his mother sitting upright in a chair, looking like she was about to leave.

Although he had been prepared for it, when it really happened, he felt more reluctant.

He didn't show it though, it was just like usual, it was just as if there were a thousand pounds of weight under his feet that made him unable to lift them up.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and then walked in.

Sun Xiuyuan walked into the room with the medicine, came to his mother, handed it to her and said, "Mom, drink the medicine first!"
