Chapter 344 - Li Sui

Li Huowang’s eyes shrank.

This ability... Is it my shifting ability? I have such an ability in my hallucination as well?

Meanwhile, Wang Zhilong burst into tears as he continued to complain in a sullen voice, “I didn’t even get a single dollar. Do you know how much I’ve invested for this exchange? Tens of thousands! And how many strings I had to pull for the officials to not take you away! This could only be done with the help of dozens of credit cards used by us few! Please, I’m begging you! Conjure up a few gold pieces. We’re all at the end of our wits about how to deal with all the debt!”

At that moment, Li Huowang suddenly released his grip and looked around with some confusion.

What’s going on? Why does it seem like this world suddenly became more realistic?

He looked down at the bleeding wound on his body, then raised the dagger in his right hand and stabbed it towards his left hand.

This pain... Why does it feel so real?

Even if there’s only a miniscule chance that it’s real, doesn’t this mean that Yang Na and my mom... They didn’t abandon me! And they might even be looking for me right now!

Li Huowang’s heart started racing as he quickly dashed outside. But right as he was about to get out into the sunlight, his footsteps gradually slowed down.

But in my current state, so what if they find me? Other than letting them continue with their suffering, and for me to continue to be thrust into bewilderment? I can’t keep being a burden to them.

Dispirited, Li Huowang turned back as he walked back to the area under the bridge with heavy steps.

This is fake. Since I’ve ascertained this side to be fake, then there's nothing else to hesitate about.

He released Wang Zhilong’s restraints and freed him, then lay on the ground and stared vacantly toward the ceiling.

Finally freed from his restraints, Wang Zhilong did not try to release his comrades, and instead looked back at Li Huowang, his gaze hesitant.

“Brother Li, since you’re conscious now, tell me. Do you really have any special abilities?” asked Wang Zhilong.

However, Li Huowang completely disregarded everything around him. He was trying to think of how he could persuade Li Sui to go back into his tummy. Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

“Through the surveillance cameras, I saw that gold box that you gifted your mom! It was full of precious stones! Any one of them could buy you a house! That should be true, right? Otherwise, how could they have the money to issue missing person notices all over the internet and the streets?” continued Wang Zhilong.

“Scram...”

“Ah, Brother Li, don’t be like that. If you really don’t want to go back, then give me some gold. In return, I’ll tell your mom that you’re dead so that she can finally give up hope completely,” offered Wang Zhilong.

Hearing those words, Li Huowang once again focused on Wang Zhilong’s greedy face as killing intent surfaced within his eyes. “You want gold, right?! I’ll give you some!”

He walked back to the collapsed bed, knelt down, and reached under his bed. Then, he used the gentlest tone possible and called out, “Li Sui, don’t be afraid, that person is a liar. Whatever he says is false. You won’t hurt me by staying in my tummy.”

After a short while, a hesitant black tentacle emerged from the darkness under the bed and entwined itself around Li Huowang's hand, “Hmm..”

With a gentle pull from Li Huowang, Li Sui was completely dragged out. Li Huowang embraced him, soothing the various long and short tentacles. “Li Sui, be good, and come in. Daddy really cannot do without you now.”

Hearing this, two tentacles that were entangled with a pair of double-pupiled eyeballs looked at Li Huowang affectionately.

“Ugh... ugh!”

Amidst the pangs of nausea, Li Sui once again entered Li Huowang’s throat.

With a strange sensation, Li Sui's tentacles filled the veins throughout Li Huowang's entire body.

At the same time, Li Huowang rubbed his belly and breathed out a sigh of relief. As long as Li Sui was with him, he didn’t need to go to the other side anymore.

Afterwards, Li Huowang walked to the window and looked outside. The sky was still gloomy, but it seemed to be getting brighter.

After a night of turmoil, Li Huowang had no intention of sleeping anymore. He picked up his luggage and headed downstairs toward the stable.

However, as soon as he entered the lobby, Li Huowang saw the pitiful Old Wu, who was with the cook and the stableman, all of them bandaging each other.

When he saw that Old Wu’s injuries were in similar positions to Wang Zhilong’s, Li Huowang immediately understood what was going on.

“When did you get close to my room? Didn't I tell you not to come near my room if there wasn’t anything?”

Hearing this, Old Wu forced out a bitter smile, and quickly knelt on the ground. “I heard a commotion and was afraid that something had happened to you, so... I deserve to die! I deserve to die! My blood has stained your hands. I should pay you back for dirtying them.”

Li Huowang yanked at his clothes and straightened the man up, “Stand still!”

Then, he began to chant as the white wax of the Fiery Scripture quickly melted and became a fiery centipede that leapt onto Old Wu’s wounds.

“Ahh!” Old Wu’s cries reverberated in the lobby.

“Stop shouting! It’s treating you!”

By the time their throats were hoarse from shouting, the injuries on each person had been replaced by a slight burn mark.

Then, Li Huowang took out two silver ingots from his pocket and placed them on the table. “This is compensation for your furniture.”

“This... I cannot accept it,” Old Wu was about to decline, but Li Huowang stuffed the silver directly into his arms.

“If I tell you to take it, then you take it. I don't want to be assimilated by this damn place!”
