Chapter 63 - Red Veil
Seeing the change in Li Zhi’s expression, Li Huowang walked over. “Brother Li Zhi, I can explain about yesterday’s situation.”
Li Zhi raised his hand and stopped Li Huowang from speaking further before speaking in an irritated voice, “No need to explain. I didn’t do anything to you anyway, so just let it be.”
Having said that, Li Zhi stood up and grabbed his wife, heading straight out of the house.
Seeing their backs, Li Huowang remained silent.
The Second Deity said that I’m the Strayed Immortal. It seems that whatever that is, it is something special. She even told me not to stare at the Household Immortal, almost as if she knew what I was doing. I must pry that information from her mouth.
He finally had some clues, and so Li Huowang was reluctant to give it up.
“Senior Li, what’s wrong? Did you have a fight with the Shaman?” asked Puppy.
Hearing what Puppy said, Li Huowang shook his head. “Nothing, it’s just something personal. Go and eat your breakfast. We finally have the chance to sleep on a bed, so rest well these few days. Once we get out of this village, we will only be able to sleep on the roadside.”
For the next few days, Li Huowang didn’t go and find Li Zhi, nor did he check what the other was doing. He knew that Li Zhi should still be angry about the last time, and so it was not wise to seek out the Second Deity. He decided to bide his time.
Li Huowang had a feeling that this was the best course of action, but while he was waiting, a troublesome situation appeared.
Bai Lingmiao became sick.
It was troublesome indeed. The sickness was both serious and insignificant at the same time. It was serious because this was a poor village where no illness should be taken lightly; it could very well take her life. But it was also insignificant because with the pills that Li Huowang refined in Zephyr Temple, he was more or less on the level of a village doctor. He might not be able to cure the more serious illnesses, but something as light as this was easy to handle.
Li Huowang held Bai Lingmiao’s feverish head in his lap and carefully fed her a red pill.
“Senior Li, am I dying? I don’t want to die...” The frail Bai Lingmiao held onto Li Huowang’s sleeves.
“Don’t think of something stupid. It’s just a cold. I just gave you medicine, so you should get some sleep. Once you sweat off the fever, you should be healthy once again,” said Li Huowang. Please visit fr𝐞𝐞w𝒏.𝒸𝑜𝔪 website to read fastest update
Thud thud thud.
At that moment, a knock on the door cut their conversation short. Li Huowang looked up and saw that it was Li Zhi and his wife.
“How is it? I’ve heard from my friend that your sister is sick. Do you need help?” asked Li Zhi.
However, the distance was too far, making it so that Li Huowang couldn’t read it properly. He slowly approached the red veil.
“You...Have...To...Be...Careful...” Li Huowang read the words out loud.
Halfway through reading him it, the Second Deity suddenly raised her hands and her black fingernails stabbed straight into Li Huowang’s neck.
Bam!
Li Huowang reacted quite quickly as he grabbed the red veil and kicked the Second Deity in her stomach.
Even though he was out of danger for now, there were four bloody holes on both sides of his neck.
He fished out some Blood Nourishing Pills and ate them as he stared at the Second Deity.
It had never occurred to him that the Second Deity was going to try and kill him! He had always thought that she was trying to inform him of some danger.
However, when he saw the face of the Second Deity, he froze.
Her face was distorted, covered with green snake scales, porcupine quills, fox ears, and many other animal organs.
But amidst all that, there was still a small part of a human face, and looking at it, he could tell that it was none other than Li Zhi!
No, to be more accurate, it was a female version of Li Zhi, with some makeup powder on the remaining human skin.
At this moment, one half of her mouth had been transformed into a beast maw, but the remaining human lips even had some red lipstick.
Seeing that Li Huowang had seen her real face, ‘Li Zhi’ covered her mouth and laughed like a fox.
“To think that the Strayed One was so inexperienced even after probing for half a day. You must have been quite lucky to have escaped capture for so long.”
“To think that the Strayed One was so inexperienced even after probing for half a day. You must have been quite lucky to have escaped capture for so long.”
Two voices rang out at the same time, one from the front and another one from within the dark forest.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
At the same time, the sound of the drum rang out from somewhere in the forest.
“Summon~ The~ Gods~”
