Chapter 463 - Li Sui

Chapter 463 - Li Sui

“A skinned dog? And it's smiling at me?”

Hearing Bai Lingmiao’s words, Li Huowang imagined a horrible image in his mind.

After all, he couldn’t see what was happening.

Li Huowang swallowed hard before he asked, “Bun?”

“Woof woof!” A familiar barking echoed.

Li Huowang had taken care of Bun for more than a year and would never mistake Bun's barking for someone else's barking. The barking had indeed come from Bun.

Bun’s barking was filled with excitement rather than pain and fear.

Li Huowang frowned and focused his hearing in the same direction. “Li Sui?”

A voice superimposed on the barking echoed from the same direction. “Father, I'm here.”

Li Sui tried to crawl in from the window when rapid drumbeats echoed, stopping him.

“Father! Mother won’t let me in,” Li Sui said, sounding emotionally distressed.

Li Huowang massaged his throbbing temples. He had no idea what to do. In fact, he didn't even know what to call the entity in front of him. What did Li Sui do during the Natural Disaster?

“Father, do you not want me anymore?” Li Sui asked, his voice filled with sadness and even resembled sobbing. Bun’s howling echoed along with Li Sui's words.

Li Huowang patted the Second Deity’s shoulder. “Don’t worry. It can’t harm me even if I was blind.”

Li Huowang walked past the Second Deity and approached the noises.

He couldn’t see, but he could still feel people's gazes. Soon, he stopped just a few meters away from Li Sui.

“Come inside. Don’t stay outside the window.”

Two dull thuds echoed as Li Sui stepped into the room.

Li Huowang caught a whiff of blood.

Li Sui—or Bun, was standing just in front of him.

The broken veil fell to the ground just then.

Li Huowang hugged it tightly; he could sense the beast's longing for him. He patted the mangled figure in front of him and said, “Fine, it is what it is, I guess. It’s great that no one died, and I'm not going to ask for more than that.”

An ordinary person would be afraid and horrified at the bloody creature in front of them, but not Li Huowang. He knew he was living in a bizarre, crazy world. Most importantly, he knew that he looked almost as bad as the current Li Sui.

Li Huowang turned around and looked at Bai Lingmiao.

“Miaomiao, she's our daughter now.”

“Dau—Daughter? Her?”

“Yes. Li Sui is genderless, but Bun is female. We'll call her 'daughter' from now on, and I hope you're not going to hate her."

While Bai Lingmiao was hesitating, the Second Deity walked over and patted Li Sui’s skull.

The Natural Disaster had passed; everyone was still having nightmares over the ordeal, but everyone knew that they still had lives to live, so they soon resumed their own tasks.

The intense discussions soon faded to peace as they worked on their own tasks.

“Dear, please wake up. It’s time to wake up.”

When Sir Wu woke up from his afternoon nap, he immediately saw his wife.

“What time is it?” Sir Wu sat up slowly and stretched both of his legs as if waiting for someone to put on his shoes.

“It’s already the ninth division. Any later and you'd need a lantern to navigate. It’s best to leave now so you won't waste your money on one.” [1]

Upon getting hired to teach in Cowheart Village, Sir Wu found himself with two choices: either teach in the morning or teach in the evening.

However, his students needed to work in the fields during the day, so he had no choice but to start his lessons at night. Even Yang Xiaohai needed time to cook meals.

“All right! Time to change.” Sir Wu stretched lazily.

“Aiya! I don’t have time to serve you. I still need to put away the dried radishes on the roof. I’ve placed dinner on the table. Just eat and wash the plates in the kitchen.”

Sir Wu glared at her and roared, “I’m a scholar! How can I work in the kitchen?!”

1. The ninth division corresponds to 7-9 pm ☜
