[Ding~]
[System is currently undergoing soul binding...]
In the vast expanse of time and space, Linghu Lan seemed to see Mo Tang's soul slowly walking towards him. He stretched out his hand, trying to resist the vortex of time and space.
Linghu Lan also reached out her hand, trying hard to grab him, and finally, their hands clasped tightly together.
Linghu Lan saw a smile appear on Mo Tang's face. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something to her, but his voice couldn't reach her.
She waited anxiously for the system's message, and finally heard the system's notification that the soul binding process was beginning.
[Binding 50%...75%...80%...100%]
[Binding successful!]
Linghu Lan felt a surge of joy. He witnessed Mo Tang seemingly being drawn in by an irresistible force, disappearing without a trace into his body.
[Transmission in progress!]
[Transmission successful!]
Linghu Lan saw the enormous white hole draw her in, and the familiar dizziness washed over her, but this time, her heart was filled with joy.
I have never felt such joy before.
It's finally all over.
...
Linghu Lan opened her eyes, and before she could even look around, she saw smiling faces everywhere.
This was followed by enthusiastic applause, filled with genuine joy.
Linghu Lan laughed from the bottom of her heart. As she laughed, she suddenly felt like crying. She tried hard to hold back her tears, not wanting to appear vulnerable, but the tears still flowed uncontrollably.
"I'm back?"
"You're back!" Qi Yue replied with a smile.
"You're back!" Meng Yang held up his finger and gave her a big thumbs up.
Linghu Lan couldn't help but laugh out loud, and she subconsciously asked, "Where's Mo Tang?"
The crowd spontaneously dispersed, and Linghu Lan's gaze shifted to the side. She saw a pale and thin man lying on the hospital bed. Even lying down, it was clear that he was very tall, with deep-set features, delicate eyebrows and eyes, and his eyes were tightly closed. His long eyelashes covered his lower eye sockets, forming a shadow. He looked like a fallen angel, lying peacefully on earth.
Linghu Lan's heart skipped a beat: "He hasn't woken up?"
The moment Linghu Lan asked that question, she felt her heart breaking. If she returned but Mo Tang didn't wake up, what would have been the point of all her efforts over the years?
In that instant, she felt her heart die.
Qi Yue gave a mysterious smile. He didn't answer Linghu Lan, but looked at the monitoring data and said, "He will wake up, but he will be a little slower than you. There is a delay."
Linghu Lan's grief abruptly ceased. She patiently waited with everyone for Mo Tang to wake up, not wanting to say another word. Everyone else clearly shared the same sentiment, countless eyes fixed on Mo Tang's data.
Linghu Lan stared intently, afraid of missing the crucial moment when Mo Tang woke up. She gripped her bedsheets tightly, her fingernails digging into her fingers until they hurt, but she didn't even notice.
Several doctors and nurses came over to examine Linghu Lan's body, smiled and nodded, saying, "She's doing well! Thank you, you're great!"
Linghu Lan nodded, feeling a little relieved. Now, she was just waiting for Mo Tang to return before she could finally relax completely.
The doctor and nurses checked Mo Tang's data again, then stopped the testing and waited with everyone else.
Finally, Mo Tang's long eyelashes fluttered, and she blinked.
Linghu Lan felt her heart was about to stop; she held her breath, waiting for this incredibly exciting moment.
Mo Tang opened his eyes completely. His eyes were clear and bright, but his gaze was somewhat confused, as if he couldn't distinguish between reality and dreams. Anyone with discerning eyes could see that his eyes seemed to be flashing with countless stories and witnessing countless wonders.
Immediately afterwards, his data became scrambled, and the doctors and nurses became extremely nervous, hurriedly shouting, "His mental state is unstable, take him to the emergency room first."
"yes!"
The group had already made preparations and hurriedly pushed Mo Tang outside and sent her to the emergency room.
Linghu Lan clenched her fists tightly, watching Mo Tang leave, then looked nervously at Qi Yue and Meng Yang, hoping they could give her an answer.
Qi Yue and Meng Yang's smiles froze for a moment before they comforted him, "Don't worry about our boss. He's just being taken for a checkup. He's been through this countless times, so he should be used to it by now. He's got experience with all of this, so don't worry."
Is he alright?
"Fortunately, it's within a controllable range!"
Linghu Lan carefully examined the two people's faces. She couldn't see much worry about Mo Tang on their faces, so she finally felt relieved.
After so long, the two looked quite different. Qi Yue's face was more square, and Meng Yang had grown a beard. Time had left its mark on everyone's face. Linghu Lan touched her cheek; having been in bed for so long, she must have lost weight. "How much time has passed?"
Two years!
"You've improved a lot since last time. Last time it took you three years to come back, but this time it only took two years. You're really amazing."
Linghu Lan smiled. Indeed, she had made progress. The last time it took her three years was because she had spent hundreds of thousands of years in several cultivation worlds. This time, it took her relatively less time, with countless fewer years of cultivation, so she returned earlier.
"It's so good to be back!" Linghu Lan murmured as she looked at her withered fingers.
A silence fell over everyone. Even though he was ill, they had taken good care of Linghu Lan. However, without solid food, he relied on various liquid foods and liquids to supplement his nutrition every day, which made his body much weaker.
"You'll get better soon, thank you. On behalf of Nano, I thank you!" Qi Yue said solemnly.
The others also showed expressions of gratitude. If it weren't for Linghu Lan, the boss would never have returned, and they would have lived with guilt forever, since they were the ones who had blocked their boss back then.
Linghu Lan lowered her hand and stopped thinking about it. It was already a luxury that she was able to escape with her life. In any case, Nano gave her a second life. Finding Mo Tang was her own choice. If she didn't go, she felt she would regret it for the rest of her life.
Without Mo Tang, the world is only black and white, and life will lose its color.
Linghu Lan looked at Qi Yue and gave him a knowing smile. "Two years... So, do I have 2.4 million now? Have I received my salary?"
After agreeing to become a Nano employee, Linghu Lan and Qi Yue agreed on a monthly salary of 100,000 yuan. She was truly making money while lying down, something many people could only dream of, but she had achieved it. However, this money was not easy to earn. Those turbulent years could not be summarized simply as making money while lying down.
For two years, she hadn't seen her parents and didn't know how they were doing, whether their hair was turning gray, or whether they could still eat. There were so many things she wanted to ask, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't know what to ask.
To everyone's surprise, the first thing Linghu Lan did after waking up, besides caring about Mo Tang, was to care about her own money. Indeed, in life, love and money are the two things you should hold onto tightly.
Qi Yue was so angry he laughed. He knew Linghu Lan was cheeky before, but he didn't expect her to be this cheeky, asking for money as soon as she woke up.
"The money has all been deposited into your account on time, so don't worry. Would I ever renege on my debts? Not only that, all my insurance premiums have been paid on time, and your parents receive gifts every holiday. We also send them videos of you whenever possible. Don't worry!"
Linghu Lan nodded, "You've worked hard!"
“You’re the one who’s really working hard. What we’re doing is nothing compared to you. Our work is easy.” Qi Yue smiled and helped Linghu Lan up, saying, “Would you like to get down and move around a bit?”
Qi Yue was actually a little worried. Linghu Lan had been bedridden for two years, and the massage therapists would massage her body every day. But even so, some parts of her body inevitably became thinner, and some functions gradually atrophied. This was something that could not be avoided.
Linghu Lan felt completely weak, but the desire to walk was swelling in her heart; she really longed to be able to walk on her own.
She tried to get off the bed and onto the floor, but found that her body was not entirely under her control.
Qi Yue and Meng Yang quickly helped her up. Linghu Lan stood up on her own, took a couple of steps, and felt her legs were a little weak. She forced herself to take a few more steps and gradually got used to it.
She flexed her fingers and felt that her own body was the most comfortable to use. The sense of control was completely different from using someone else's body. Only those who have died know how good it is to be alive.
When can I go home to visit my parents?
Linghu Lan walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside. She remembered that it was autumn when she left, but now it was winter. It seemed that she had actually been gone for more than two years.
Time flies.
Qi Yue understood her thoughts and said, "You can rest here for two months and go back when you've recovered enough. During this time, you can rest for as long as you want, and I will apply to the leadership to approve your leave."
"Thank you!" Linghu Lan said softly. Her voice was so light that it seemed as if it would shatter at the slightest touch of the wind, but the joy within it was clearly conveyed, and everyone felt their eyes redden.
Among them are other superpowered individuals, but none of them have experienced such a complex and tortuous journey as Linghu Lan. Moreover, Linghu Lan is someone who personally rescued his boss from the void of time and space. Such a person deserves their respect and remembrance.
...
Linghu Lan stayed safely in the hospital.
period.
Qi Yue once cautiously asked Linghu Lan if she wanted to call her parents.
Linghu Lan thought about it carefully for a moment, then shook her head. It wasn't that she was too heartless, but rather that she was afraid of crying the moment she called her parents.
That would only make your parents more worried. It would be better to wait until you are physically and mentally stronger before trying to reach out to them.
Qi Yue found many videos and photos of her parents, and Linghu Lan would often shed tears when she looked at them.
She never imagined that wanting a simple, ordinary happiness would be such a rare thing.
Three days later, she was able to barely control her emotions and prevent herself from breaking down so easily when she saw those photos.
Another thing that could easily break Linghu Lan was that Mo Tang had been in the emergency room and hadn't come out.
"His mental state is unstable. He has been in the time-space for too long, and his memories are too confused. These things are driving him crazy. The doctor is slowly helping him sort out his memories."
Qi Yue looked at Linghu Lan with some reluctance. What he didn't finish saying was that the doctor's complete advice was that Mo Tang should discard all his memories from that time and space so that he could recover as quickly as possible.
However, this also means that Mo Tang might forget Linghu Lan.
Linghu Lan waited silently outside the operating room, then suddenly asked, "If he loses his memory, would that be a good thing for him?"
Qi Yue remained silent for a long time. He always felt that Linghu Lan had the ability to foresee the future. "Theoretically, that's how it is, but he's unwilling to admit it."
"What do you mean?"
"The doctors tried to erase his memory, but they were unsuccessful."
Qi Yue glanced at Linghu Lan, feeling a jolt in his heart. Although he didn't want to say it outright, he felt that his boss's efforts to preserve his memories were likely related to the girl in front of him.
Having weathered countless years, Linghu Lan has become composed, elegant, and serene, her dark eyes exceptionally captivating. Such a girl, possessing such extraordinary abilities—if not for love, who would risk so much for a stranger? It's undeniable that she is the most suitable woman for the boss.
"He is trying hard to preserve his memory and psychologically rejects the doctor's help. The human brain is very complex. If he refuses the doctor's access to his brain, then he can only rely on himself."
Linghu Lan clenched her fists tightly; although she didn't want to admit it, she was genuinely nervous.
She placed her hands to her lips and silently prayed for Mo Tang, hoping that he would be safe and happy.
Perhaps hearing her prayers, on the third night, the doctor happily announced that Mo Tang's condition had stabilized, but he had temporarily fallen into a deep sleep. After the critical period, he would be able to meet everyone again.
Mo Tang was wheeled out of the emergency room and back to his own ward. Linghu Lan finally saw him through the window.
At this moment, Mo Tang seemed much more energetic, perhaps because his consciousness had returned to his body. Compared to his previous listless appearance, he now looked as if he had fallen into a deep sleep, and his sensual lips made people want to trace them with their hands.
"Wake up! I've brought you home. You should take a good look at what kind of parents you have!"
Take a good look at me and see if I'm the kind of person you like.
Linghu Lan prayed from the bottom of her heart.
