Xia Ling learned to get used to this kind of life, but she knew that she couldn't endure it for too long.
Papa Zong's body was still very healthy, and he could live for at least 20 to 30 years. With Papa Zong around, Fu Jiunian didn't need to push himself so hard.
She contacted Fu Jiunian, preparing to have a good talk with him.
Then, she put down her phone, and Xia Ling was reading an original English book in the living room. Suddenly, she blacked out.
*
When she woke up, she had already been sent to the hospital.
"Don't tell Jiunian!" was the first thing she said when she saw Mama Zong.
After that, she smiled bitterly.
In her heart, she really hoped that Fu Jiunian could come back in time.
But perhaps, Fu Jiunian was on a private plane, and he came back overnight to propose to her and ask her for confirmation. That busy and exhausted look was too pitiful, so Xia Ling couldn't bear to let him know. She was afraid.
"I won't tell him." Mama Zong sighed and asked again, "Xiao Li, have you had a checkup in the past six months?"
"What's wrong? Mom, didn't we go together for the last check-up?" Xia Ling was a little puzzled.
Xia Ling actually thought that she was pregnant when she suddenly fainted.
But looking at mother Zong's expression now, it didn't seem like a happy event.
"Just now during the examination, there was a shadow in your lungs." Mother Zong held Xia Ling's hand tightly. She was silent for a moment, then said, "Don't think too much. The doctor's test results haven't come out yet. Maybe it's just a small problem?"
Shadow...?
Xia Ling suddenly felt a little absent-minded.
There was a shadow in her lung. It was...cancer?
No wonder she had been feeling a little tired and afraid of the cold for a long time.
How did she get cancer? With the system around, only when she chose to leave the host would her body in the world have all sorts of symptoms.
But now, the mission was done well. She and Fu Jiunian were still very young, and there were many more in the future. Why would her body suddenly have problems?
Xia Ling said, "Mom, leave me alone in the ward."
Mama Zong tried her best to hold on. "Okay, if you need anything, just call me. I will wait for you outside the ward."
Xia Ling stayed calm and alone. She closed her eyes and realized that she had lost contact with the system's little assistant, Puppet.
It seemed that since she and Fu Jiunian came back from the Maldives, Puppet had never shown up again.
This was definitely abnormal, but Xia Ling didn't really talk to the system, especially when Hai Hai wasn't around. Xia Ling lost interest in fighting the system, so two years passed in a flash. When she realized that something was wrong with her body, Xia Ling realized...
Her system couldn't be contacted!
If the system couldn't be contacted, then if she died in this world, would she be able to return to the nine underworld continent?
She took a deep breath to keep herself calm.
Xia Ling carefully recalled, and the last thing she thought of was the previous world.
The unfamiliar Demon King's consciousness had descended into that world and easily killed the Demon Lord, almost bursting that world.
Previously, Hai Hai had been nagging Xia Ling to be careful not to let the heavenly axiom discover any clues.
If the heavenly dao was really keeping an eye on the Demon King, how could it not notice such a big commotion?
Therefore, the heavenly dao had secretly controlled the situation and used this slow method. Fu Jiunian liked Zong Li, so the heavenly dao destroyed Zong Li's body to torture the Demon King?
There were many guesses in her mind. Among them, the system was most likely blocked by the heavenly dao!
