As a fake half-demon, Yue Jiuling feels that living in the human realm is actually pretty good. However, this is only true if she can retrieve her original body and separated soul. There's no c...

Chapter 244 Seeking Help

After returning the phone to Feng Meng, the woman deliberately put on a wicked expression and said, "Hey, you all saw it just now, right?"

"No, we didn't see anything!"

Upon hearing the woman's words, Xiaolan immediately shook her head in fear.

Feng Meng looked at the woman nervously and said, "We didn't see anything, beautiful lady. Don't worry, we won't say anything."

Seeing that both of them were frightened by her, the woman nodded in satisfaction and said, "Hmm, that's good..."

Just as the woman was satisfied, she suddenly realized Feng Meng's face clearly and frowned, saying, "Wait, don't you have a mother named Feng Yuelin?"

Feng Meng had initially thought that he and Xiao Lan had been let go by the 'strange man' in front of him, but upon hearing his mother's name, he immediately became even more nervous and asked, "How...how did you know?"

"Because I know your mother, haha. If I hadn't seen you, I probably would have forgotten about your mother by now. By the way, is your mother nearing the end of her life? I remember her lifespan is coming to an end soon, isn't it?"

The woman, resting her chin on her hand, recalled the events.

Upon hearing the woman's words, Feng Meng's face immediately turned completely pale. His expression was filled with pain and panic. Feng Meng swallowed hard and asked in shock and fear, "How did you know?"

"How did I know?" The woman looked at Feng Meng with an expression as if he were an idiot and said, "What do you think?"

Feng Meng stared intently at the woman. Suddenly, he knelt down before her and pleaded, "Immortal, you must be an immortal, right? Immortal, can you please save my mother? She's been sick for so long, and the doctor says she's not going to make it. I beg you, please save my mother!"

Feng Meng suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to the woman, and started crying, which startled Xiao Lan who was standing next to him.

Xiao Lan looked at the woman with a mix of helplessness and fear. She didn't dare to help Feng Meng up, nor did she dare to leave on her own. In the end, she could only tug at Feng Meng's clothes and say, "Brother Meng~ So you've been working so hard to take on roles just to raise money to save your mother."

The woman looked at Feng Meng crying with a complicated expression. She said with a hint of helplessness and disdain, "Tsk~ You two really are exactly the same. Twenty years ago, your mother met me while holding you and cried like this, begging me to save you. I never thought that twenty years later, you would meet me again and beg me for help."

"What? My mother begged you twenty years ago?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Meng looked at the woman in astonishment.

“Yes, I come out for a break every ten or eight years. Twenty years ago, I met your mother. You were dying then. Your mother took you to the temple in front to pray to the gods and Buddhas. When we came out, we met me. She thought I was a god and begged me to save you. But you were almost dead. I felt sorry for you and your mother, so I took half of your mother’s life force and lifespan and gave it to you. That’s how you survived.”

Feng Meng was extremely surprised by the woman's words. He said excitedly, "Then, then it proves that my son and I are destined to be with you! Fairy Sister, please save us one more time!"

The woman looked at Feng Meng with great disdain and said, "Tsk~ You know how to talk. But never mind, it's fate that we met. Besides, I've been living in seclusion for too long. Now that I can finally come out, I'll save you one more time."

"Thank you, fairy sister! Thank you, fairy sister!"

Feng Meng was extremely excited and kowtowed to the woman. The woman looked at him gently and said, "Okay, get up. By the way, don't call me a god. I'm not a god. My name is Yue Jiuli. You can also call me Sister Jiuli."

"Okay, then I'll call you Sister Jiuli."

Feng Meng got up from the ground and said, "Sister Jiu Li, my mother has had terminal cancer for a long time. Please, you must save her."

Yue Jiuli nodded and said, "I know that the life force and lifespan in your body were taken from her. If you hadn't taken her life force and lifespan back then, your mother wouldn't be dead now. That's why I knew she was dying as soon as I saw you."

"Then, can you still save her? Do I have to give back my lifespan? If that's the case, then please help me give it back, sister."

Upon hearing the reason for his mother's illness, Feng Meng understood and even said he was willing to give his lifespan back to his mother.

Yue Jiuli and Xiao Lan, who were standing nearby, were a little surprised when they heard Feng Meng's words without hesitation, since it was rare for someone to voluntarily give up their life like that.
