Chapter 567 - Death

Li Huowang held the golden fries and examined them carefully. The crystalline salt glittered beneath the morning sunlight. He looked at it for a moment before dipping it in the tomato sauce and eating it. His eyes narrowed as he savored the explosion of flavor in his mouth. Afterward, he proceeded to take a few mouthfuls of the cold soda in his hand before chomping down on his burger. The cheese from the burger oozed out from the corner of his mouth and dripped onto his hospital gown.

“Son, take it slow and easy. I can buy more if you want more,” Sun Xiaoqin said, wiping away the cheese on Li Huowang's gown and eating it herself. She patted Li Huowang’s head and stepped away to speak to the doctor.

“Doctor, what's going on with my son? He suddenly has a great appetite, and he's no longer speaking nonsense. Is he recovering?” Sun Xiaqin asked Yi Donglai, who was writing notes on his observation of Li Huowang.

Yi Donglai frowned at Li Huowang, who was eating voraciously and shook his head. “Miss Sun, please give the two of us some time alone. I have to observe him even further.”

“All right, I'm leaving now. Please take care of him! Treat him, and I will even kneel down to you and give you a pennant!”[1]

Hearing the door close behind him, Yi Donglai approached Li Huowang and sat down on a stool. “What’s wrong with you? Did something happen on the other side?”

Li Huowang ignored Yi Donglai. He finished his meal and grabbed the portable gaming console on the side to immerse himself in gaming.

“Is Zhuge Yuan dead?”

Bam!

The gaming console broke into pieces as Li Huowang smashed it to the ground and grabbed Yi Donglai by the collar. He shook Yi Donglai violently and roared, “Do you wanna die?! I can tear apart the artery in your neck with just my teeth!”

Yi Donglai waved his hand at the guards, stopping them in their approach. “Li Huowang, you're a kind person. You're not going to do something like that.”

“Me? Kind?!” Li Huowang roared and smashed his forehead into Yi Donglai’s face.

When Li Huowang woke up once again, he realized that he was lying at the bottom of a well. There was a bitter taste in his mouth; it seemed that he had eaten something he couldn't recognize.

Wells were uncommon in the modern world, so Li Huowang instantly realized that he had returned to the other side. However, he didn't stand up immediately but stared at the white circle above him.

He was back, but he didn’t want to come back.

Li Huowang looked at his illusions. He saw Peng Longteng, the old monk, the illusion of a Sitting Oblivion Dao member, Qiu Chibao's illusion, and Jin Shanzhao's illusion.

However, Zhuge Yuan was missing.

"Are you Er Jiu? I'm confused. Out of the five elements, you only have the fire and metal. Where are the other three elements?"

"We will meet again, Er Jiu. I am Zhuge Yuan. If you encounter any issues, you can come find me on Xing Island in the Western Seas. I am lacking in many ways, but I will do my best to help you!"

"It is important to know the hearts of people! I just want to do it, that's all! I forbid the appearance of the Simings today!"

"Because I want to save the Great Qi!"

Li Huowang shook his head and wiped away the tears dripping down his cheeks. After a while, he grabbed the rope and crawled out of the well.

He wanted to scold and give Zhuge Yuan a good beating to vent out his frustrations, but he couldn’t do that, as Zhuge Yuan was no more.

Li Huowang could no longer revive him.

1. A pennant is something people give to express their gratitude. Usually given to people who achieved exemplary results. ☜
