Chapter 254 Illusion
"Have you dealt with the matter over there? If so, I will start preparing for the illusion."

On the top floor of the bamboo building in Yuehua Fairy City, Zhu Yueyao saw Fang Chen open his eyes and stepped forward to ask.

In fact, as early as when they just set out from Ghost Island, she had been clamoring to let Fang Chen experience her own illusion.

However, upon learning that falling into the illusion would cause him to lose the connection with his external incarnation, Fang Chen refused.

He needed to get to a safe place before doing that.

Now, Lu Lingquan, Zhu Hao and their group have been teleported back to Ghost Island by Tianyu and are under the management of Zheng Pingkang.

There were no other incidents after that. Tianyu controlled the flying boat and flew away. He did not go directly to the meeting place of the Demon Cultivator Alliance, but wanted to investigate something in various places.

Fang Chen simply stopped controlling his external incarnation.

When there is an emergency, let Tianyu contact Zhu Yueyao to end the illusion.

"No problem, let's get started."

Fang Chen nodded, took a deep breath to adjust his mood, and then began to meditate and practice.

Not long after, seeing that he had entered a state of meditation, Zhu Yueyao clasped her hands together, and a blood-red light condensed in her chest, then went straight to Fang Chen's forehead.

"It's done."

Watching the blood-red light being absorbed by Fang Chen's forehead, Zhu Yueyao wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead with an expression of great effort.

"What will he see in the vision?"

Yue Yunni, who was receiving the pure spiritual energy from the Moon God Palace, also asked Zhu Yueyao curiously.

When she met Zhu Yueyao, her immortal soul could no longer be improved, and she was immune to illusions of the same level, so naturally she had never experienced the other party's illusion methods.

"I don't know either. It should turn into the life he most desires in his heart. As for what it is, I don't know either. Moreover, I have added some ingredients to it..."

Zhu Yueyao shook her head. The essence of an illusion is to arouse the desires in the other person's heart. Everyone's desires are different, so the scenery they see is naturally different.

Fang Chen, who had already entered a state of meditation, could not hear their conversation. He just felt a flash of red light, and then he completely lost consciousness.

"Doctor, how is he now?"

"His body has fully recovered and there are no problems, but his consciousness has not recovered for almost a year. This is a typical case of unresponsive wakefulness syndrome, commonly known as a vegetative state."

"Ah? Is there still a possibility of waking up?"

"I can only say yes, but..."

Fang Chen wanted to reach out his hand to dispel the annoying discussion that disturbed his rest, but he didn't have the strength in his body. He couldn't even open his eyelids, let alone do anything else.

He struggled hard, using all his strength, and finally opened his eyes.

An unfamiliar ceiling came into view. The light from the ceiling lamp was very soft. It was not dazzling even if I stared at it all the time. Instead, it gave me a warm feeling.

It might be a psychological effect, but it made him feel much better instantly.

"Ah! He opened his eyes. Did he wake up?"

"Not necessarily. A vegetative patient may open his eyes or swallow unconsciously. Sometimes he may even smile. Let me check first."

Although they didn't have the strength to reach out, when they saw him open his eyes, the two arguing people instantly turned their attention to him.

After a moment, a man and a woman appeared in Fang Chen's sight.

The man looked to be in his forties and was wearing a white coat.

The girl looked a little younger than Fang Chen. She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a sweet and lovely appearance. She was looking at him anxiously.

Fang Chen just felt that this face looked familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen her.

"Come, stare at my finger. Wherever this finger is, that's where you look."

The man stretched out a finger and spoke softly to Fang Chen.

Fang Chen couldn't do anything else now, so he simply controlled his gaze to track the man's fingers.

"His eyeballs moved, he really woke up!"

This situation naturally made the girl very excited again.

"Shh, please don't make loud noises. Although this is a soundproofed, independent ward, it will still affect the patients themselves."

The man quickly turned around and warned the girl, then continued, "He has been in a coma for more than a year, and his muscles have atrophied. Even if he wakes up, he will need a long period of rehabilitation training before he can be discharged from the hospital."

"It's okay, as long as he's awake. Can I talk to him alone?"

The girl forced herself to control her excitement and spoke to the man.

"No problem at all."

The man nodded and went on to talk about a lot of precautions.

Fang Chen also took this opportunity to figure out his situation.

Listening to their conversation, it seemed that he was in a hospital ward and had been in a coma for more than a year.

He tried hard to recall and finally remembered what happened before.

It was a weekend night. After lying in bed all day, he decided to go out for a barbecue. The autumn weather was clear and not too cold or too hot, so he sat outside and enjoyed the natural breeze.

Unexpectedly, a driver drove directly onto the sidewalk. He could have avoided it, but he saw a female student who was so scared that she was stunned on the spot, and she happened to be in the path of the car.

He didn't think much about it at the time and pushed the girl away.

Then he lost consciousness.

I seemed to have a very long dream in the middle. I dreamed that I traveled to the world of cultivation and had already established my foundation, but then I woke up.

He finally understood why the girl looked familiar. This was the person he had saved.

He glanced at the decoration of the ward again and it was obvious that it was not cheap and was not something he could afford.

As for his family, Fang Chen smiled bitterly in his heart and didn't want to recall the past.

There was no way that kind of person could afford such a luxurious private ward for him.

In this case, the only possibility is that the girl paid.

I never thought that I had saved a wealthy woman.

After he expressed his feelings, the doctor explained the precautions and left the ward.

The girl also quickly ran to the bedside and bowed solemnly to Fang Chen: "Thank you for saving my life." It can be heard that she deliberately controlled her volume. It seems that the doctor's advice did work.

"what--"

Fang Chen wanted to say it was nothing, and opened his mouth as hard as he could, but could only make "ah ah" sounds.

"Pfft~"

When the girl saw Fang Chen's reaction, she was completely convinced that he had woken up. She relaxed and laughed unconsciously.

Then she immediately realized that her behavior was inappropriate and quickly apologized to Fang Chen: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

Given Fang Chen's current state, of course he couldn't care less and could only forgive her.

The days passed one by one, and the girl stayed by Fang Chen's side every day as if she had nothing else to do, helping him with his rehabilitation training.

Fang Chen also learned the girl's name - Jiang Yan.

With Jiang Yan's company, he was soon able to walk. Apart from being a little weak, he was no different from a normal person.

After the doctor's final checkup, he said he was ready to be discharged.

But Fang Chen didn’t know where to go for a moment.

He lived in a rental house and had only paid rent for half a year. He had contacted the landlord before and explained the situation, but the landlord had already rented the house out again and hired a cleaning service, which threw away all his things.

The good news is that his computer was in the company office, so he escaped the disaster.

However, he was also fired by the company on the grounds that he was unable to complete the work agreed in the contract. He had not been working there for long and his compensation was only a few thousand yuan, which, together with the salary he had saved for several months, was just over 20,000 yuan.

Jiang Yan introduced him to a job, which was said to be in her parents' company. The work content was similar to that in his previous unit, but the salary was a little higher.

His life returned to being a routine between his rental house and the company.

What’s different from the past is that Jiang Yan is now by my side.

Jiang Yan is a freshman. After Fang Chen woke up, she took a year off from school to help him recover.

A year later, Jiang Yan returned to school and the two only met on weekends.

Towards the end of the semester, Jiang Yan's schedule became more relaxed. She would rush to Fang Chen's rental house in the afternoon, stay overnight, and go back the next day.

After Jiang Yan graduated from university, the two began to prepare for their wedding.

"Are you really not going to find your uncle and aunt and have them attend our wedding?"

One night before the wedding, Jiang Yan was lying on the bed, browsing on her phone. Suddenly, she put her phone aside and asked Fang Chen who was sitting in front of the computer.

"There's nothing to look for. They abandoned me 28 years ago. If Dr. Fang hadn't found me, I would have frozen to death in the ice and snow. Dr. Fang is my father. I really want to invite him—"

At this point, Fang Chen's voice was choked with sobs.

"Then, let's go see Dr. Fang tomorrow."

Seeing Fang Chen's sad look, Jiang Yan asked cautiously.

"Ok!"

Fang Chen nodded heavily, and then just sat in front of the computer like a wooden sculpture.

The next day, Renxin Cemetery.

I walked to a tombstone with ease, on which was written: Tomb of the benevolent doctor Fang Wenzhu.

Fang Chen knelt in front of the tomb with red eyes, but he did not cry. He just stared at the words on the tombstone in a daze.

When he adopted him, Dr. Fang was the same age as he is now, twenty-eight years old.

For a doctor who has just started his career, he naturally has no time to date.

Later, with the addition of Fang Chen, no one wanted to associate with him.

He also joked that his profession would become more popular as he got older, and now was the time for him to work hard on his career. When he was successful and Fang Chen was older, would he still worry about not being able to get married?
This wait lasted fifteen years.

He was promoted to chief physician, and Fang Chen was successfully admitted to a prestigious university.

At the graduation banquet, Fang Wenzhu said with a smile: "I'm finally free of you, your burden. I, your father, am going to pursue love."

However, this wish was never realized.

The night before Fang Chen entered school, he died of injuries sustained while acting bravely to save others.

"You know what? When I saw you were about to be hit, I felt that he was in my arms. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the courage to push you away."

After an unknown amount of time, Fang Chen choked up and spoke to Jiang Yan who was standing beside him.

"I know. You told me when you were drunk. I remember everything."

Jiang Yan hugged Fang Chen into her arms, patted his back and said.

Six days later, the wedding took place as scheduled.

The guests were all moved by the couple's love story and there was endless blessing from them.

It’s a pity that Jiang Yan’s parents did not support this marriage, but they did not object either. They just kept a social smile throughout the whole process.

Time goes on.

Marriage is the grave of love. Fang Chen and Jiang Yan have a deep relationship, but conflicts are inevitable. In addition, they have a child, so disputes and quarrels have gradually become commonplace. However, they finally supported each other and got through the difficulties.

The two of them have also changed from young men to white-haired old men.

Jiang Yan left before Fang Chen.

Fang Chen was not sad. He held Jiang Yan's cold hand and sat in the mourning hall all night.

When the morning sun shone on him, he sighed and said, "Is this an illusion? It's so real, it feels like a lifetime has passed."

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene around him began to shatter like snowflakes, turning into a sea of ​​blood.

Those snowflake-like fragments combined in this new world and transformed into Jiang Yan's appearance.

But his face was ferocious and full of murderous intent.

Then she opened her eyes, and two red lights pierced Fang Chen's heart.

　Today's second chapter supplements the story before Fang Chen traveled through time. The two chapters have a total of 6,000 words, and there are still 6,000 words owed.
