The daily life of a max-level immortal cultivator

Chapter 257 Sweet Dreams

Liu Xingxing pinched herself hard.

"hiss!"

Ouch, it hurts! This isn't a dream!

She really... came back?

It seems that...

"What year is it now?"

Gu's mother panicked instantly, turning Liu Xingxing over to look at her closely: "Xingxing, Xingxing, don't scare your mother! Dr. Lu, come and see her quickly!"

The person called Dr. Lu then came into Liu Xingxing's view, and Liu Xingxing was surprised to see her again.

This isn't... Lu Xihan?!

She isn't... Even Lu Xiaohan in modern times is a white-collar worker in the city, so why would she be a doctor?

Changed careers?

There were too many elements, and Liu Xingxing couldn't switch between them all at once.

"Oh, it's probably just temporary amnesia caused by choking on water. It'll be fine in a while."

In short, he's out of his mind.

"Dr. Lu... are you sure I'm just out of my mind? Is there anything else wrong?"

"The physical examination is normal, and no other problems have been found yet. You can be transferred to a regular ward."

"Silly child, what nonsense are you talking about? It's okay if you have amnesia, your parents will help you remember everything from before."

After being transferred to a regular ward, the doctors and nurses went off to work, leaving only Liu's father and mother-in-law by her bedside, where they told Liu Xingxing stories from the past.

Here, Liu Xingxing's parents did not divorce. After leaving the countryside, Liu's father also tried to do business, but he was not as successful as before. However, he gradually achieved a comfortable life.

She also loves to play extreme sports and has learned a little bit of everything. She is a freshman in high school this year.

Her parents never stopped her; she could learn whatever she wanted. Anyway, her father's business was doing quite well, and her mother had become a well-known beauty consultant. She was the only child in the family, so they could afford to spoil her.

Liu Xingxing finally understood what it was like to attend a proper high school. She didn't have to study those pretentious and empty courses just for the sake of appearances, and she could go to the bathroom, buy things, and eat with her close friends.

There were so many things that Liu Xingxing had never experienced before.

There are also her parents who wait for her to come home every day for dinner. The house isn't big, but it's very cozy, and her room is filled with her favorite dolls and music albums.

It all felt so unreal that she would pinch herself every time, using the pain to remind herself that it was real.

Later, she studied in her second and third years of high school, and was admitted to university. In university, she developed more interests and met many like-minded friends.

Liu Xingxing slowly forgot the pain of the past, those things that seemed as distant as a dream, and truly lived in the present, gaining a new life.

After graduating from university, Liu Xingxing partnered with several like-minded friends to open an extreme sports venue. Business was slow, but they were able to make enough money to support themselves.

When I have free time, I go out with my friends to have fun and stroll around. Everything is so beautiful and ordinary.

As she reached middle age, her parents started pressuring her to get married and introduced her to potential partners, fearing she would be alone in her old age. So Liu Xingxing adopted a child, but her parents were still not satisfied and kept urging her to get married.

After urging them for a few years, they gave up and rarely cared about their own affairs anymore, going on to enjoy their retirement.

Her adopted child is also very successful; he graduated from a prestigious university and found a good job. He is also quite filial and often sends money home.

A few years later, she met a handsome young man, and they got married two years later. Her child would come back to visit her and her grandparents from time to time. Three years later, she gave birth to a son, and her grandparents became great-grandparents.

Gradually, her parents passed away one after another, and she reached the age of seventy or eighty. Now she has a house full of children and grandchildren, and has no regrets.

Life is really short, and it comes to an end in the blink of an eye. Looking back on this not-so-wonderful life, Liu Xingxing is extremely satisfied.

In that final moment of lucidity, I was transported back to the instant I struggled to open my eyes: the snow-white ceiling, the cacophony of sounds, the faint smell of disinfectant, and those two pairs of eyes filled with worry.

She knew, she knew from the beginning, that it was just a dream.

She never felt pain when she pinched herself, but she always lied to herself that it hurt a lot and that it was all real.

Her parents, her life, her children and grandchildren—they were all so real, so close at hand. But why couldn't she sense any of the clear images, the noisy sounds, or the not-so-pungent smells?

The food was delicious, but she couldn't taste it. The bungee jumping was thrilling, but her heart didn't race. The little girl circled her knees calling for her mother, but she couldn't even bring herself to touch her head.

Liu Xingxing is a liar; she has been deceiving herself from beginning to end.

She thought that once she died, everything would end, and she would be free.

But there are always people who insist on not letting her die, who refuse to let her die, and who want her to live on in this painful reality.

……

Liu Jun slowly opened her eyes, her vision clearing from blurry to bright. Before her eyes was a clear blue sky, and a line of egrets flew across her field of vision.

She stared blankly at the blue sky for a few seconds, feeling incredibly stiff, as if she had been asleep for many years. But the place where she was lying was clearly very soft; she couldn't possibly lie down like that and still not have such a stiff body.

Liu Jun tried to sit up, but failed several times.

Forget it, I'll lie down for a while longer. Anyway, it can't get too bad.

No more birds or insects flew by in my field of vision; there was only a deep blue expanse.

What a terrible place! There isn't even a single white cloud in it. Looking at this eye-protecting blue for too long will make your eyes go blind!

Liu Jun tried to get up again, and this time he actually moved a little bit, a little more, and a little more.

After struggling for a while, she finally managed to sit up. Looking around, she saw nothing, and she realized she wasn't lying on the ground, but in the water.

In a clear lake, what she had just seen wasn't a egret, but probably a fish. When did her eyesight become so bad?

The softness on its back wasn't lying on any feathers, but rather on a bubble that wouldn't burst.

What kind of place is this? The water doesn't feel like water, the bubbles don't feel like bubbles, and there's nothing there at all.

After resting for a while, she was finally able to move her body a little. She jumped out of the bubble and tried to swim to the surface to see what was going on, but the water had no buoyancy. How was she supposed to swim up?

By jumping?

Liu Jun looked at the bubble behind him. Something was supporting it from below, which meant it was fixed in place and could float up.

After untying the things that were dragging him, Liu Jun slowly floated to the surface of the water while holding it.

The lake was quite large; with Liu Jun's current eyesight, he could only barely see a bit of the shoreline before he started paddling towards it.

After paddling for only a short while, Liu Jun was already exhausted and could only paddling for a while and then resting.

"Huff, huff... What's going on? Not only are my eyesight bad, but my physical condition is also so poor. This is really bad."

After struggling for an unknown amount of time, Liu Jun finally rowed to the shore. He was exhausted when he got ashore and it took him a while to recover before he had time to observe his surroundings.

Ordinary mountains, ordinary sky, ordinary flowers, grass and trees, only a lake and this bubble are unusual. Where exactly is this place?

Having mustered some strength, Liu Jun tried walking around, hoping to run into someone.

The water here is clearer than mineral water, but it doesn't reflect her current appearance, so I don't know if she's beautiful or ugly.

This body's physical condition was exceptionally poor; she would pant after walking for a while, and after walking for a long time, she hadn't gone very far. The long-lost feeling of hunger also made her dizzy.

Could it have gotten cold again after only a short while since waking up?

That's great, anyway, she doesn't really want to live.

So you see people who are starving and panting after just a few steps, looking like female ghosts, walking briskly as if afraid they'll catch their breath if they slow down.

Unfortunately, just when Liu Jun thought she was finally going to die again, a kind-hearted person suddenly appeared out of nowhere, helped her up, and asked:

"Young lady, where are you from? I've never seen you in the village before."

Girl, from the village?

In a remote mountain village in ancient times, and she doesn't look scary, well, useful information.

"I……"

Before Liu Jun could even speak, he suddenly fainted, leaving the bewildered young man who had helped him up completely stunned.

That night, Liu Jun slowly woke up and saw a very simple earthen-roofed house with tiles, a small wooden bed that could only fit one person, and an empty little room. She was sure that she was in an ancient mountain valley and had been rescued by a kind person.

Liu Jun sat up, looked around, and stretched his arms. He felt like he was feeling a little better. Was it just his imagination?
