Chapter 333 - Meeting Someone Familiar
After a while, Li Huowang rolled to the edge of the bed and closed his eyes.
Meanwhile Hong Zhong was smiling while thinking about something when Monk suddenly approached him. “What other tricks are you planning to do? Don’t harm the Daoist. He’s a good person.”
“A good person? Hehe, a good person indeed.”
That night, Li Huowang slept quite soundly. He wasn’t sure if it was because he drank a lot of wine, but he only woke up late in the morning the next day.
After waking up, Li Huowang yawned and washed up.
Since Tuoba Danqing had told him to stay here, he knew that he would temporarily be staying in Yinling City.
Plus, he had nowhere else to go.
As to how long he would have to stay, it all depended on Tuoba Danqing. However, based on their conversation yesterday, Li Huowang was sure that he wouldn’t need to wait all that long.
“Crepes~ Delicious crepes~”
“Sweet~ Sweet sweet Tanghulu~”[1]
“Scissors~ Knives~ I grind them all~”[2]
“General Jiang was eight feet tall and four feet wide! He stood in front of the enemy camp and shouted with all his might: Ai~ Hei!! The thousands of soldiers from the Qi Kingdom were instantly horrified!”
As Li Huowang strolled around, various sounds entered his ears.
“How much for a crepe?” asked Li Huowang.
“A single coin. Look at how big our crepes are. They are cheap yet filling~”
Li Huowang bought four of them, and walked as he ate. He didn’t walk very fast. The reason he was taking a stroll through the city was to let Li Sui learn how to talk by listening to the other people.
Li Sui had heard someone saying ‘daddy’ just once and could already repeat it. Not only was it capable of speech, it could also mimic the voices of others. This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
Thus, Li Huowang wanted to test and see if Li Sui could speed up its learning process if there were more people talking around him. And based on the numerous fragmented words that Li Sui was parroting off, Li Huowang knew that he had made the right decision.
Unfortunately, with this approach, he could not choose what Li Sui would learn. It had even learned how to cuss after hearing some women arguing on the streets, causing Li Huowang to frown and quickly leave the area.
“Senior Bai is still fine. She still eats and sleeps as normal, but she seems to always lack focus.”
Li Huowang sighed, his elbows on his knees as he clasped his own face and muttered, “As long as she’s fine.”
Lu Xiucai had finished eating half of the bowl in no time. Once his hunger had been staved off, his spirit returned as he requested, “Master, let me follow you!”
However, Li Huowang shook his head. “No, once you finish your meal, I will give you some money for you to return to Cowheart Mountain. Do not go anywhere else. Go straight back home.”
Li Huowang could not afford to have someone dragging him down right now, especially since he was not even related to Lu Xiucai. He was already being generous by giving him travel money.
“No! I will not go back! If I do, then my brother will use his fists to threaten me to work in the fields!” refused Lu Xiucai.
Hearing this, Li Huowang grabbed Lu Xiucai’s shirt collar and warned him sternly. “Only your father will tolerate you, and I’m not your father! I have enough to worry about on my plate and I don’t have time for this! If you say one more stupid thing, then I will break your legs and leave you out on the streets!”
Lu Xiucai’s lips quivered, but he dared not say anything when he saw just how serious Li Huowang was.
“Also, when you go back, don’t tell anyone that you saw me.” Li Huowang took out a piece of silver the size of his thumb and placed it in front of Lu Xiucai. Then, he turned and left.
As Lu Xiucai saw Li Huowang leaving him behind, he felt extremely unreconciled. Just as Li Huowang was about to disappear into the crowd, Lu Xiucai shouted from behind, “You were the one who taught me those powers! But you only taught me how to use the sword, and didn’t even give me the sword! What kind of master are you?! You are incorrigible!”
When Lu Xiucai saw Li Huowang turn to look back at him, he quickly placed the silver in his clothes and prepared to run when.
However, before he could leave, Li Huowang waved his hands and five black coins shot out, nailing themselves into the wooden table in front of Lu Xiucai. The coins were taken off the bronze coin sword. Even though there were only five, Lu Xiucai should be able to use them with the method he was trained in.
“We are even now! Don’t call me master anymore!” said Li Huowang.
After meeting Lu Xiucai, Li Huowang lost all his interest in strolling through the city. He directly returned back to the inn.
“Miaomiao?” At that moment, the Black Taisui’s voice rang out in his ear.
“Since Li Huowang is your father, Miaomiao is your mother.” Hong Zhong chuckled as he walked beside Li Huowang.
“Mother?”
Li Huowang was stunned.
Li Sui can hear the illusions?!
1. A type of street snack. Berries and fruits are coated in liquid caramel before cooling off. ?
2. A grinder who grinds sharpens utensils for a living, ?
