Chapter 845 â Too Careless

Ling Chen had never even heard of godly souls before encountering Qi Xing. Qi Xing had also mentioned that there was a 0.0001% chance of True Gods reincarnating, making it incredibly rare. The peak experts who had awakened godly souls⌠Qi Xing, Qi Yue, Rahu, and Wan Chong⌠there only seemed to be them. If there were other existences, Qi Xing either would have made them submit or destroyed them⌠mm, Tian Tian also counted.
Now, it turned out that there was a godly soul hidden in his body â this made Ling Chen feel completely dumbfounded.
âIf itâs because of the godly soul, Ling Chen should feel happy because this means that Ling Chen has a very powerful godly soul!â Sha Sha said as she smiled. âSince this godly soul can affect your emotions, it means that it should bring some emotions when it awakens, and since it has memories, it is definitely as powerful as Qi Xingâs⌠mm, it might be even more powerful!
âLing Chenâs already so strong, so if you awaken a powerful godly soul, you might really become a True God!â Sha Sha said with great certainty.
Sha Shaâs words caused Ling Chenâs heart to thump.
Becoming a True God⌠this was something that people could only dream about, and it was something that people could not even hope to be true. If there was such a possibility, who could resist such a thing? Even the undefeatable Qi Xingâs greatest desire was to become a True GodâŚ
For him, becoming a True God would not mean much in terms of strength because his current strength already made it possible for him to conquer everything. Adding on the fact that Sha Shaâs power was slowly growing, she would become a True God who would surpass him, so there was absolutely nothing that could threaten them. However⌠once he became a True God, he would become immortal!!
Immortality⌠who could resist such a thing?
Moreover, Rashu was able to give Lachesis complete Godhood, so if he became a True God, it should be possible for him to do such a thing⌠in that case, he would be able to give immortality to those closest to him as wellâŚ
Ling Chenâs heart rapidly thumped when he thought about that.
However, if his godly soul came with memories, what was with this feeling of emptiness? Was it that the godly soul did not fulfil its wishes and still held on to something after tens of thousands of years? Or was it because of something elseâŚ
At this moment, the overcast sky suddenly started drizzling. Ling Chen looked up, thinking of Gu Qing Han. After she had given birth to him, she had developed many illnesses because of more than 20 years of melancholy feelings and being overworked, which plagued her when it rained. Even though Sha Sha had essentially erased them using her power, whenever it rained, Ling Chen would still worry about Gu Qing Han.
âMoâEr, send us to my mum,â Ling Chen said.
As Ling Chen spoke, a blue light covered his body, sending him to the Gu familyâs residence.
After being reunited as mother and son 3 years ago, Gu Qing Han seemed to become a different person. She was no longer as cold and severe, and she would smile warmly much more often. Her face, which had not been marred by time, seemed even more youthful. Ling Chenâs return to her was evidently the happiest thing to her.
âMum, how has your body been recently? Itâs a bit cold these days and the air isnât too great, so if youâre not feeling well, make sure you let me know.â Drinking the tea that Gu Qing Han made herself, Ling Chen felt a warmth spread throughout his body and into his heart. Tea made by oneâs mother would always have a warmth that could not be replaced.
Gu Qing Han smiled as she looked at him. âDonât worry. Ever since I drank that mysterious medicine that Sha Sha gave us and after Tian Tianâs mother, the Queen of Xiya, personally helped me heal my body, I donât suffer any more pain or sleep loss. My mind has been getting better as well, and Iâm starting to look even younger than your uncles.â
Hearing this, Ling Chen was able to feel at ease. Indeed, the Queen of Xiya was only at the level of the 3 Moon goddesses, but her healing abilities were unrivalled. Adding on Sha Shaâs divine source energy, Gu Qing Hanâs illnesses completely disappeared, and it would now be difficult for her to become ill even if she tried. As such, Ling Chen could completely be at ease. âMum, donât tire yourself out too much; you should give some of the matters to the uncles to deal with. Youâve worked hard for so many years, so it should be time for you to relax and enjoy yourself.â
Ling Chenâs sincere concern caused Gu Qing Hanâs smile to become even warmer. She slightly shook her head, saying, âChenâEr, I know you care about mum, but the Gu family is something that I built up by myself. Iâve given more than half of my life to the Gu family, so I simply canât put all of this down. If you tell me to suddenly sit by and do nothing, I simply wonât be able to get used to it. Donât worry, ChenâEr, mum enjoys this sort of life very much. As long as youâre living well, mum will always be happy and fine.â
âAlright.â Ling Chen did not keep insisting and nodded as he asked, âWhereâs grandpa?â
Gu Qing Han looked out the window and smiled. âYour grandpa likes angling in the rain, so given the weather, he should have gone to the west lake again.â
âGrandpa is optimistic and broad-minded, and he knows how to live life well. Heâll definitely live to over 100 years old,â Ling Chen said as he smiled.
Gu Qing Han also smiled. âLet alone 100 years, I think even 120 years wonât be a problem⌠hm? Come to think of it, isnât today the 50th birthday of SuâErâs uncle, Su Hong Cheng? Did you just come back from Beijing?â
This question caused Ling Chenâs eyes to widen. âHah? Su Hong Chengâs 50th birthday⌠I had no idea! No one told me⌠SuâErâs at home right now, and she didnât mention it to me either. Are you sure about this?â
âHmm? Did I remember incorrectly?â Gu Qing Han picked up the electronic calendar next to her and looked at the âupcoming eventsâ before saying, âNo, itâs today. Thatâs right, your grandpa even told your uncles to make a call to congratulate him.â
â⌠Mum, whatâs the date today?â
âOctober 12.â
â⌠Fudge!!â Ling Chen stood up with a âwhooshâ, his forehead erupting with sweat⌠dammit, he had been too careless! Today was Su Hong Chengâs 50th birthday, and he had forgotten about such an important date⌠it seemed that even SuâEr had forgotten! The Su family had not sent them a single reminder!
âMum, take care of your body and donât get a chill. Iâll immediately take SuâEr to Beijing⌠MoâEr, hurry and send me over!!â
As Ling Chen spoke, he disappeared before Gu Qing Han. Gu Qing Han had long since become accustomed to this sort of thing, and she smiled as she shook her head. âThat childâŚâ
After returning to the Bamboo Sea Wonderland, Ling Chen quickly found SuâEr pruning the gardens, and he immediately asked, âSu Su, todayâs October 12. Did we forget something?â
âOctober 12...â SuâEr thought for a moment before panicking, pressing her hands against her mouth. âAhh! Todayâs uncleâs 50th birthday. Ahhhh, I actually forgot. Wuu⌠what do we do, what do we do, what do we doâŚâ
By now, SuâEr had grown from a tender young girl to a stunning, celestial beauty, but her personality had not changed at all from 3 years ago. Her cute, sweet appearance and her adorable eyes were enough to instantly attract any manâs eyes and heart. Whenever she became panicked, tears appeared in her eyes.
âItâs fine. Even though itâs dark already, itâs only 7pm, so itâs not too late yet,â Ling Chen hurriedly said, trying to cheer SuâEr up.
âBut, but a gift⌠I even forgot to prepare a giftâŚâ
âDonât worry; weâll at least get there first. MoâEr⌠send us to the Su familyâs residence in Beijing.â
âAhhhh!! So annoying, I havenât even finished a single dessert, but youâve already bothered me 3 times⌠if you donât bring me back a super big cake, Iâm going to go on strike for 3 days!!â
MoâErâs high voice sounded out before a not-so-gentle spatial energy covered Ling Chen and SuâEr, sending them to the entrance of the Su familyâs residence.
After entering the Su familyâs hall, Ling Chen and SuâEr felt that the atmosphere was not very harmonious. Su Hong Cheng and Su Yi Chengâs faces were quite stiff, and Murong Xiu looked quite worried. Seeing Ling Chen and SuâEr walk in, Murong Xiu got up and said as she smiled, âChenâEr, SuâEr, youâre back.â
âMm.â Ling Chen nodded before looking at Su Hong Cheng. âErr⌠Happy birthday, Uncle Su.â
âHmph!â Su Hong Cheng turned away. âYou knew that today was my birthday? Whyâd you come so late then? You might as well have just forgotten about it.â
âWuu, Iâm sorry uncle. I didnât come so late on purpose.â Su Hong Chengâs attitude caused SuâEr to almost start crying. She timidly walked over to Su Hong Chengâs side and pulled at his sleeves as she said, âI reminded myself last week that uncleâs 50th birthday was coming up, but⌠I never thought that a week would go by so quickly, and I forgot about the time, so⌠so⌠wuuu⌠uncle, big brother Ling Tian and I didnât mean to come so late. Please donât be angry; in the future, I will definitely remember uncleâs birthdayâŚâ
Su Hong Cheng truly loved this niece of his, and even a hair on her head being harmed would cause his heart to ache. Seeing her teary eyes and efforts to cheer him up, he couldnât stay angry. Beside them, Murong Xiu couldnât help but laugh, âSuâEr, donât worry. Your uncle isnât really angry at you. Seeing you come back, heâs definitely incredibly happy deep down. However, if you really forgot to come back, your uncleâs heart would have been broken.â
âHahahaha!â Su Yi Cheng also laughed out loud. He waved for Ling Chen to sit down next to him. âHere, ChenâEr, have a taste of the Fairchild Tea that Iâve treasured for many years. If it wasnât for Old Second celebrating his 50th birthday and turning into an old man, I wouldnât have dared to bring it out.â
âTurning old? Iâm not like you; with my constitution, Iâll be able to fight for another 60 years!â Su Hong Cheng angrily yelled. However, looking at SuâEr, a smiled filled his face. âHahaha, alright, SuâEr, youâre nearly crying. Donât worry; Iâve been waiting for you two the whole night, so seeing that youâre back, Iâm extremely happy. How could I have the time to be angry? Hahaha.â
SuâEr cheered up, saying in a small voice, âIâm sorry, uncle; I wonât be so careless in the future.â
In all honesty, this could not be blamed on SuâEr. Living in the Bamboo Sea Wonderland, she lived without a care in the world, so she did not pay much attention to time. Most of the time, she did not even know the date. In her happiness, time always passed quite quickly, and a week would pass in the blink of an eye. It was difficult to always keep track of time.
