Chapter 122 - Chocolate

Chapter 122 - Chocolate

From the sensation of the satchel hitting his face, Li Huowang could feel the pain that caused Yang Na’s outburst. He too felt the same pain, and so he raised both his hands and hugged the girl.

“Nana! Please stop. I beg you,” said Li Huowang.

Feeling the embrace of the one she had been yearning for, Yang Na gradually calmed down and rested her head on his shoulder while crying.

At that moment, they looked just like they did a few years ago, sitting at the top of their school and staying up all night until sunrise.

Time slowly passed as Yang Na continued to remain in Li Huowang’s embrace. She wished for the flow of time to stop at this moment.

But, she soon felt a pair of hands on her waist gradually pushing her away. In response, she hugged Li Huowang even tighter; she didn’t want to let him go.

However, her strength was nowhere near his and she was soon pushed away.

The girl's eyes were still red from crying. Li Huowang opened his mouth but no words came out. He felt distraught.

After giving some thought, he calmly said, “Nana, please promise me something; promise me that you will live on even if I were to die one day.”

“No!” Yang Na was adamant. “Don’t decide that for me! My thoughts are mine alone! My choices are none of your concern. I will continue to wait for you until the day you wake up!”

As soon as she finished saying those words, Yang Na grabbed her satchel and stormed off.

However, she stopped just as she passed by the door. She hesitated for a few seconds before turning back. Then, she took out a small pack of chocolate from her satchel and coldly passed it to Li Huowang.

As he stared at the beautifully wrapped chocolate, Li Huowang asked Yang Na, “What day is it? Why are you giving me chocolate?”

Li Huowang's eyes were filled with a sense of yearning and nostalgia. Since he could never go back to his old life, he could only use the hallucination to relieve his yearning for his old life.

Yang Na was heartbroken when she heard him. She held his hands gently and said, “If you want to eat it, then I will buy it for you everyday! Now that I’m in university, my father gives me a lot of money to use as living expenses. He gives me 2500 a month! And I take part-time jobs during breaks as well. I can buy any chocolate you want... but I don’t know whether you will even be coherent the next time I bring chocolate for you...”

Yang Na’s words instantly caused the atmosphere to grow cold.

Li Huowang swallowed the chocolate and was about to console her when he suddenly started coughing.

“Aiya, I have been telling you since elementary school to eat slower and to not talk while eating. See, you just choked on the chocolate. Let me pour a glass of water for you,” said Yang Na as she took the cup on the table and walked out.

Cough-cough!

Meanwhile, Li Huowang started coughing even more vigorously. At the same time, he felt a burning pain radiating from his esophagus to his stomach.

This ain’t right! Something’s happening to the other side!

Li Huowang raised his head and stared coldly at Yang Na’s disappearing back. “Who are you? What did you feed me?!”

Soon, an intense pain burst forth from his stomach, causing him to start shouting, ”AAAA!”

It was almost as if a living hedgehog was running amok within his body.

Amidst the intense pain, everything around him started to shift back—the warm sunlight and bright hospital ward started to fade. Soon, Li Huowang was back in the Ao Jing Sect’s cave. At the same time, he saw blood on the floor in front of him, the very same blood that he had just coughed up.

At this moment, Li Huowang was red-faced and had veins bulging on his head. He grabbed his neck with both hands while kneeling on the ground like a shrimp.

Blegh!

Soon, a massive pile of items were vomited out, consisting of blackened blood, bits and pieces of flesh, small black tentacles, and... rusty nails.
