Chapter 293 - Trouble

Once everything had been settled, Puppy walked out of the shop, satisfied with the prices. “Good! This time should be better than the last time.”

He squinted his eyes and stared at the blazing sun. It was already lunchtime by the time he got back to the inn.

“Oh right, the owner said that I had to measure the body to make the funeral clothes. I better do that now.”

As he talked to himself, Puppy walked back to his room, but didn’t find the injured Gao Zhijian on the bed. His heart immediately fell a little. “Wait, could it be...?”

He hurriedly ran towards Li Huowang’s room and saw that the other three were beside the bed. He took a deep breath, rubbed some turmeric over his eyes, and walked into the room.

“Senior Li! Senior Li! Boohoo~”

Puppy made it look like he was pushing Gao Zhijian away, but when he placed his body on the bed, he was surprised to see Li Huowang had his eyes open.

“You are... not dead.”

At that moment, Puppy’s heart tightened up.

If he’s not dead, then that means that I can’t take back my deposit...

“Puppy, are you injured too?”

Li Huowang’s words reeled Puppy back into reality and caused him to let out a smile. “Aiya, these are just some small wounds. Did you know that when those clay statues were surrounding me, I, the great Cao Cao, didn’t even blink!”

“Don’t listen to him. If it wasn’t for me, then he would’ve been dismembered,” interjected Xiaoman.

Puppy frowned at Chun Xiaoman, but didn’t say anything. Not only was he weaker than her, now, she was even a head taller than him.

Now that he was an official member, he would finally have an organization behind him. No longer would he need to guess everything like Dan Yangzi when it came to cultivation or other information.

As long as he didn’t expose his status as a Strayed One, no one would attack him too.

“Hehe, and what if you managed to claim those things? As if you know how to use any of them,” A haughty voice came from behind Puppy, causing Li Huowang perk up in surprise.

As if powered by an unknown source of strength, the weak Li Huowang suddenly sat up. Immediately, he pushed Puppy away before turning to look toward the illusions in front of him.

The headless Peng Longteng, the disemboweled Jin Shanzhao, the bored Monk, and finally the faceless member of the Sitting Oblivion Dao!

The face of the member of Sitting Oblivion Dao was completely skinless, and his eyes were replaced by two black holes. His teeth were displayed out in the open without any lips, forcing him into a perpetual smile.

Looking at the stunned Li Huowang, Chun Xiaoman and Gao Zhijian exchanged glances before quickly holding Li Huowang’s left and right arms down.

But suddenly a massive force threw both of them away.

“Why are you here?! Why did you become one of my illusions?! Why?!”

As Li Huowang shouted, his wounds started to bleed once again. Just as he was about to say something else, he stopped and grabbed his own throat.

“Cough cough~ Blegh!” Li Huowang coughed as a single black tentacle came out from his mouth.

Seeing it, everyone was shocked.

“Quick! Pull it out!”

But just when all of them wanted to help and were about to pull it out, Li Huowang blocked them from doing so.

After stopping them, Li Huowang kneeled down and used his trembling hands to carefully push the tentacle back into his mouth.

Under everyone’s gaze, Li Huowang coughed as he forcefully swallowed the Black Taisui.
