Shou San was quite calm when he told Li Huowang they would honor the deal.

“Fine, I will trust you one more time. I hope that an incident like today’s will never happen again! If you push me to the brink of desperation, then I would rather yield my body to Dan Yangzi and have everyone perish with me!” warned Li Huowang.

When he heard Li Huowang’s threats, Shou San was visibly unhappy; however, all he could do was silently stare at the red-robed Taoist with wariness in his eyes.

Then, under the gaze of the members of the Ao Jing Sect, Li Huowang carried Yingzi off the floor and pulled her back to their cave.

Once they left, Shou San turned toward one of the sect members beside him. While the sect member in question didn’t look any different than the rest, Shou San was very respectful to him. He whispered, “Elder Shen Benyou, you’ve seen the child; what do you think we should do?”

At this moment, one of the elders that Yingzi had told Li Huowang about the night before was present at the scene.

The man stared in the direction Li Huowang had disappeared to. “No, this Strayed One is unlike the others we have met before. You’ve seen his powers; he’s a lot more dangerous than the other Strayed Ones. Don’t provoke him; we will decide on what to do with him after we have probed him further.”

“Yes, this underling understands,” replied Shou San.

Back in their cave, Li Huowang fell onto the ground, his energy completely spent.

Meanwhile, Yingzi stood there, hesitant; the only part of her body that remained intact was one of her arms. When she saw that Li Huowang was still bleeding profusely from his wounds, she carefully approached him. “Sir, are you alright?”

“Hehe... No worries. I won’t die from just this,” said Li Huowang.

When she heard those words, Yingzi’s eyes became filled with determination as she walked over and grabbed the wax-covered book from the side. She held the book and kneeled in front of Li Huowang. “Sir, please endure it. I will now help you with treating your injuries.”

After saying that, she started chanting off the book. Her voice as she chanted was extremely bizarre; it was as if she was imitating the crackling sound of flames.

Floof~

After a moment, the wax-covered book in Yingzi’s hand started burning up.

“How could it not? But compared to the day that my siblings died, this pain is nothing...” replied Yingzi.

Hearing this, Li Huowang's eyes fell and he nodded. “Yeah, the pain of the flesh is bearable, but the pain of the soul is not.”

Yingzi, who was now left with only a single arm, said nothing as she supported him back onto the bed.

Staring at her side profile, Li Huowang had no idea what she was thinking. The things she had done were conflicting.

Not sure how much I can trust them, but since they swore on it, I suppose they won’t do anything in the near future?

Li Huowang recalled what Shou San had said.

After a while, both Li Huowang and Yingzi lied down on the stone bed and Li Huowang immediately fell asleep.

While Li Huowang was asleep, he dreamt of many things; however, he didn’t remember anything when he woke up.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Bun excitedly circling around Yingzi as it tried to gain her affection.

“How did you suddenly get so friendly with it?” asked Li Huowang as he sat on the stone stool and ate the breakfast placed on the stone table.

Yingzi’s face was complicated as she stared at Bun, her hand patting Bun’s white paws. “I remembered something. There was a dog living on my street. The old dog had seven puppies and Bun was one of them. I had thought that all of them had died, but to think that it actually survived.”

Li Huowang sighed while staring at Bun excitedly licking Yingzi’s hand. “Such a big town, and yet the only survivors are a single dog and a human. What a crazy world we live in.”

“Sir, why would they want to kill us? Back then, he had supernatural powers and we were nothing but ants in front of him. Was it just because he just didn’t like our looks?” asked Yingzi, her voice trembling as she did her best to suppress her emotions.

Li Huowang sighed. “Who knows. This world often rewards the wicked yet punishes the good.”

Li Huowang and Yingzi conversed for some time. After the incident from yesterday, they had gotten slightly closer.

“Right, what is the name of the book you used to treat me?” asked Li Huowang. He could tell that the treatment was very effective. Even though it was very painful and left scars wherever the wax had crawled, Li Huowang saw that his wounds were mostly healed.

Yingzi took out the wax-covered book from her robes and passed it to Li Huowang. “It’s called the Fiery Sutra. It’s yours if you need it.”
