Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 2459 - 1878: Out of Touch

After watching Uncle Wang leave, Li Wan’er returned to Su Ran’s home. Mother Su took the gaming helmet and clothes from her, asking anxiously, "Little Wan, what did Doctor Wang say?"

"Auntie, you don’t need to worry. Uncle Wang already said that Little Ran isn’t sick, he’s just in a state of deep recovery, and he’ll be fine once he wakes up."

Li Wan’er smiled as she spoke, "For Little Ran’s incurable illness to be completely healed, it takes some time, wouldn’t you agree, Auntie?"

"So that’s how it is."

Mother Su’s expression softened a bit. This explanation made sense to her; curing an incurable disease isn’t something that can be done overnight. Once Little Ran fully recovers, he’ll naturally wake up.

"Little Wan, you came here in such a hurry, have you had a chance to eat? I’ll go make you something to eat."

"Auntie, you go take care of Little Ran first, I’ll make porridge."

Li Wan’er quickly ran into the kitchen, busying herself nonstop.

...

Ghost Realm.

Shuxin Naturally and Crane That Doesn’t Dance were standing inside the Ghost King Hall, enduring the reproach of the Ghost King Sabi.

After a hard fifteen minutes, Ghost King Sabi finally let them go, and the two left the Ghost King Hall, feeling as if they had been granted amnesty.

"Damn woman, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have returned to Ghost City. Now look, I took a scolding straight to my face. Are you happy now?"

Crane That Doesn’t Dance complained irritably, his face full of gloom.

"Don’t forget, it’s my father who saved your life. For the next three months, you have to obey my commands!"

Shuxin Naturally spoke coldly, and started walking into the city first, "Follow me, I’m taking you somewhere!"

"Hmph, it was your father who saved me, not you. What are you bragging about?"

Crane That Doesn’t Dance spat with disdain, following behind with a lackadaisical air, expressing his dissatisfaction.

"I’m planning to train the Bone-eating Beast to the rank of Ghost Beast. Only this way can I counter Overturning Water’s horde of pets!"

In Shuxin Naturally’s view, in terms of personal strength, she wasn’t inferior to Overturning Water; the difference was in their pets. That damned Overturning Water had too many pets. How could one person and one beast stand a chance? Only by raising the Bone-eating Beast’s power could she slaughter that group of pets and personally kill Overturning Water to relieve her grudge!

"Girl, are you sick or something? All you talk about is Overturning Water. Is he your dad?"

At the mention of Overturning Water, Crane That Doesn’t Dance felt extremely uncomfortable. That guy had tricked him several times, making him a regular in the dungeons of the Imperial City. Even though he was free now, he still hadn’t shaken off the urge to create a new account.

After all, Overturning Water still had several Arena of Life and Death invitations, and no matter where he hid, he’d be forcibly summoned to the arena. It was ridiculous!

Back in his heyday, as a master on the Heavenly List, Crane That Doesn’t Dance ended up in such a sorry state all because of Overturning Water!

The four words he least wanted to hear were Overturning Water!

Damn it!

Damn to the extreme!

Overturning Water had become his nightmare, an unquenchable hatred that kept him sleepless, causing him to lose nearly ten pounds over the days!

However, as a former Heavenly List master, his equipment was worth quite a bit, especially that two-handed greatsword. It would be a pity to lose it. That’s also why he agreed to let Han Siying’s father save him; otherwise, he would’ve deleted his account and started anew long ago.

"Zhang Meng, can you watch your language?"

Shuxin Naturally was quite displeased with Crane That Doesn’t Dance’s foul mouth. If this guy weren’t still useful, she’d have long parted ways with him. There’s no way she’d tolerate him till now!

"Sorry, that’s just my nature. If you don’t like it, you can let me go. I guarantee I won’t bother you again!"

Crane That Doesn’t Dance was eager to leave; he didn’t want to stay with this woman any longer. Since their relationship was already strained, there was no point in pretending to please her. Thinking he’d help her train her pet? No chance!

"Leave your two-handed sword, and you can leave."

Shuxin Naturally tucked her hair behind her ear, her expression growing colder.

"No wonder you saved me; you had your eye on my greatsword, didn’t you? Damn woman, you can forget about it. Even if I delete my account, I won’t let you have it!"

"Then stop talking, and hurry up and pull the monsters!"

...

Imperial City, Safe Zone.

Lin Yuting stood there dazed, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became with Su Ran. She had already shown her feelings so clearly, yet he hadn’t even called to apologize. Did he not care about her?

At this moment, she had no desire to play the game. She logged off and called Su Ran back.

However.

Li Wan’er answered the call.

"Sister Ting, Little Ran is already asleep."

Li Wan’er thoughtfully didn’t mention Su Ran’s condition, not wanting others to worry about him. Unexpectedly, this simple statement deeply upset Lin Yuting.

Unable to express her frustration in front of Li Wan’er, Lin Yuting muttered a few words and then hung up, storming into Lin Yuqing’s room.

"Sister, what’s wrong? Who made you angry again?"

Lin Yuqing was reviewing her lessons as she saw her sister’s angry expression, and she couldn’t help but chuckle.

Anyone who could make her sister this mad had to be quite the expert.

"How can you still laugh?"

Seeing her little sister’s carefree demeanor made Lin Yuting even angrier, so she decided not to hide it any longer. "Do you know? Your man has been snatched away by another woman!"

"Soda?"

Lin Yuqing smiled sweetly, "Impossible, I trust him."

"You, you’re too naive. That Li Wan’er is clearly a scheming woman. She only knows how to cozy up to your Soda, and you don’t have the slightest sense of crisis. I’m really amazed by you!"

"Aha, Sister, it looks like you’re the one who’s jealous, aren’t you?"

Lin Yuqing’s eyes lit up, and she burst into laughter, "If Soda can resist your beauty, what do I have to worry about? Besides, Sister Wan’er has such good qualities; how could she possibly be interested in my Soda? You’re probably overthinking it."

"Forget it, let’s pretend I said nothing. Just focus on your studies and aim for a good score in the college entrance exam so Little Brother Su can look at you differently!"

Seeing she couldn’t get through to her, Lin Yuting gave up and sulkily returned to her room, returning to the game to vent.

...

Two months passed in a flash.

Life continued, as did the game, with Su Ran’s coma causing little impact. Due to Overturning Water’s prolonged absence, his popularity among players faded, and he even fell out of the top ten most popular player rankings. If it weren’t for Su Ran’s legendary feats, he might have been forgotten entirely by now.

During this period, Lin Yuqing successfully took her college entrance exams and achieved decent results. Although she couldn’t make it into top universities like Hua Qing or Da Bei, she was confident about getting into a good bachelor’s program.

However, what puzzled her was that during those two months, she hadn’t received a single call from Su Ran, not even a text message.

It wasn’t until then that Lin Yuqing realized something was wrong and decided to call Su Ran, only to find that his phone was already shut off.
