Chapter 110 - Insane

Hearing her words, Li Huowang gently held his wound and slowly walked into Jingxin’s house. Then, he slowly leaned against the wall before sliding down and sitting on the floor.

“So even you guys aren’t able to get rid of Dan Yangzi?” Li Huowang asked.

“Of course we can. We will just need to kill you,” replied Jingxin.

Hearing this, Li Huowang began to laugh. “Haha, to think that even the Abbess could crack a joke like this.”

“I’m not joking with you. Dan Yangzi is deeply rooted within your body—you are a part of his Three Corpses. It will require extreme precision to remove your Master while still keeping you alive; both of you are just way too tangled up, to the point that you can already be considered as half Dan Yangzi. This was also why I did not just remove the Black Taisui from your stomach. Presently, that Black Taisui is both Dan Yangzi and you at the same time,” explained Jingxin.

Li Huowang had requested the Benevolent Nunnery’s help to get rid of Dan Yangzi, but it ended in failure. Even with Li Huowang co-operating with all the nuns, all they had managed to do was inflict an injury on Dan Yangzi and chase him away. The root of the problem was still there.

Li Huowang huddled in the dark with his back against the cold wall, staring blankly at the mossy tiles of the temple roof outside.

“You can’t blame us for this. I had no idea that your Master was only half dead. The Benevolent Nunnery excels in dealing with the spirits, but those rule-breaking bald donkeys from the Righteous Monastery are much better when it comes to dealing in matters of the physical flesh,” said Jingxin.

“Abbess, don’t worry; I don’t blame you. How much longer do I have until I completely turn into Dan Yangzi?” Li Huowang was not disappointed by the failure.

“With your current situation, you should have two more months,” Abbess Jingxin said as she walked into the darkness and gently rocked a bamboo cradle while revealing a lovely smile as she looked at the shriveled old man within.

“Oh...” Li Huowang trailed off.

“So, what do you plan to do?” asked Jingxin.

“I will need you to wait before I can give you an answer to that question. Abbess, may I borrow something from you?” asked Li Huowang. The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.

Then, the dark room turned silent.

Li Huowang wiped her tears with his hand and smiled plainly. “You are right, Mom. This is not a hallucination. I was just messing with you.”

When Li Huowang reassured her, Sun Xiaoqin started growing excited; she did a little dance and placed both of her palms together as she praised the Buddha.

She took her phone out excitedly and wanted to let Li Huowang talk to his father who was at work.

On the other hand, while she was calling Li Huowang’s father, Li Huowang secretly plucked out a red button from her shirt and placed it inside his hospital gown.

Maybe it had been because Li Huowang had willingly entered the hallucination this time, but it ended quite quickly. His white-haired father hadn’t even had the chance to talk to him through the video call when everything around him turned dark once more. He was back in the dark room.

When he returned, he saw Abbess Jingxin standing silently while holding onto the golden prayer beads.

Then, Li Huowang raised his hands. His breathing was rapid and his thoughts were jumbled up. He gritted his teeth and touched his chest, and then, his arms froze.

There was nothing there.

Li Huowang laughed when he was faced with this expected scenario. “Hehe, I knew it. How could that side be real? To think that I would believe the words of the people inside the hallucination. I must be crazy.”

Li Huowang's laughter gradually came to a stop. What he had just found out could not be considered good news—the final hopes in his heart had just disappeared.

He took a deep breath and gently spoke to himself, “Mom, I hope I didn’t end up scaring you. I’m sorry, but please tie my hands up again. I don’t want to hurt you.”

Then, the room fell silent.

“Since that side is fake, who were you talking to just now?” Abbess Jingxin broke the silence after she had quietly observed him for a while.

Li Huowang raised his head and stared at the nun in the dark. “I was just talking to myself. Can’t I do that?”

“What do you plan to do?” asked Jingxin.

Hearing this, Li Huowang took a deep breath, his eyes getting filled with killing intent. “I want Dan Yangzi to die!”
