Tales Of The World Devouring Serpent-Chapter 626: Home and Family (part 1)
It was completely dark. The middle-aged woman looked at her sleeping mother on the hospital bed, gently pulled the quilt and covered her body for her, then looked at a photo placed on the bedside table.
This is a group photo of three people.
Two children, a boy, and a girl aged eleven or twelve. They looked lively and youthful. Behind the two children, a woman stretched out her hands on their shoulders. All three of them looked at the camera with bright smiles on their faces.
The photo is already slightly yellow, and its details are a little blurry. However, upon closer inspection, It can be generally seen that the facial features of the woman in the photo are similar to the old woman on the bed.
In addition, the little girl is somewhat similar to the middle-aged woman who was looking at the picture.
“It has been forty years…”
The middle-aged woman murmured, then shook her head. She walked to the bed on the side, laid down on it, and fell asleep.
Naturally, she didn’t see a bright stream of light suddenly flying in from outside, penetrating the glass without any sound, and finally entering the ward.
Inside the light stream was a small snake, about 1.5 meters long.
The serpent first glanced at the middle-aged woman on the bed for some time before flying to the old woman’s bed and quietly watching the old woman sleeping in front of him.
“Mom… Mom…”
Fang Yun muttered under his breath. If he were in a human form at this time, he would have been crying while hugging the woman in front. After hundreds of years in a dangerous and strange world, his will has been tempered to the extreme.
However, upon facing his closest relatives, his extremely tough willpower suddenly shattered.
“Mom, mom, why did you become like this? When did you become so old?”
Fang Yun cried silently, his heart was filled with pain. The extreme pain made him want to tear his body fiercely, suppressing the psychological torture by creating pain in his body.
“By the way, I can treat my mother’s illness and rejuvenate her.”
Such an idea suddenly appeared in Fang Yun’s mind. He took a breath, restraining his excitement.
He is a third step sage, it shouldn’t be difficult to do this.
“Huh?”
Suddenly, Fang Yun’s heart trembled, a bad premonition washed all over his body, causing him to feel a bone-deep chill. Apart from the power he gained from the system, Fang Yun found that he couldn’t use his cultivation base at all.
Whether it is the energy gained by cultivation, the various incredible skills, and power, even his powerful space manipulation skills. None of the things that he gained through cultivation could be used.
“What’s going on? Why? Why?!”
Fang Yun frantically dispatched the power in his body, trying to forcefully instill his terrifying vitality into the old woman on the bed, but found that no matter how he tried, he couldn’t do it.
The reality made him feel terrified. Only now did he find that the vast majority of his powers can only be used for destruction. The only power he gained from cultivation and capable of healing others could not be used at all.
“It’s useless, it’s useless!”
Fang Yun felt that he was about to go crazy.
“How could this happen, why is my cultivation base useless here?”
This was a result that Fang Yun did not expect at all, his cultivation base! He couldn’t use it in this universe. He can’t save his mother at all!
He is keenly aware that his cultivation is built on the rules of the other universe. He doesn’t have the same control over this universe! Without his cultivation base and mastery of the laws of the universe as a buffer, the body of his mother will immediately rupture and explode if he gives her his energy!
“Then what’s the meaning of my power? What’s the meaning of my cultivation? I finally came back, but in the end, I can only watch my loved ones leave? Can’t I do anything!”
“Why, why did you do this to me?!”
Fang Yun crazily swung his head. His heart was filled with anger and pain, but he couldn’t find an outlet to release it all.
The rules of this world are restricting him, but he can’t challenge the rules of this world. In fact, with his power and cultivation, he can’t even perceive them.
After swimming around in agony and incompetent fury for two hours next to the bed, Fang Yun finally calmed down. He quietly stared at the old woman in front of him, and memories of the past, ones that he buried in the deepest part of his heart, flashed in his mind.
His emotions tumbled like a roller coaster, sometimes happy, sometimes sad, and sometimes angry.
After an unknown period of time, Fang Yun finally came back to his senses. He looked at the old woman in front of him, then gently stretched his head towards her and gently nestled in her arms.
However, it seemed that his actions disturbed the old woman. She slowly opened her eyes, looking somewhat dazed. After blinking a few times, she suddenly saw a snake standing in front of her.
Her body trembled, obviously startled, but at this moment Fang Yun who was standing in front of her gave a timely shout, shocking the old woman. She seemed to hear a voice in her mind.
“Mom! Mom! It’s me, Mom!”
An urgent voice sounded in the old woman’s mind.
The old woman looked blankly at the snake in front of her, then looked at the photo on her bedside. Suddenly, her eyes widened in disbelief and her body started trembling.
The snake ahead gradually disappeared, replaced by an ordinary youth. He was about 1.8 meters tall, with black fluffy hair and black crystal eyes. He looked at her with teary eyes.
“Xiao…Xiao Yun?” The old woman’s lips began to tremble. In fact, the reason why she behaved like this was that she thought she was in a dream. The reason why she had such a dream is that she missed her little son too much.
“Xiao Yun, Xiao Yun, is it really you?”
Tears sprinkled from the corner of the old woman’s eyes. She was so excited but couldn’t express it. Her body was weak, and she couldn’t speak clearly, so she could only vaguely mutter some intermittent syllables.
“I really, I really miss you.”
She moved her body and wanted to get up, but she was too weak to do it.
In front of Fang Yun, even though the old woman only uttered a few vague syllables, he could hear all of them clearly. At this time, he was even more excited, continuously nodding his head, his emotions extremely agitated.
