Chapter 667 - On The Way
The atmosphere in the room was just right. As Li Huowang was about to continue kissing her, Yang Na suddenly burst into laughter.
Why are you laughing?” Li Huowang was confused.
“I’m just happy. Huowang, I’m genuinely delighted that you’re really out of the hospital. I can’t help but laugh.” Yang Na gave him a heavy kiss on the cheek.
Upon seeing his expression, she coughed lightly and quickly straightened her face, then gently closed her eyes.
“Alright, let’s not talk about it. Let’s start over as if that didn’t happen.”
Li Huowang looked at her delicate face and moved closer. Suddenly, he felt a gaze from outside the window.
When he turned around, he saw Madam Qi holding a pair of binoculars and peering in their direction.
Li Huowang lost all interest. “Madam Qi! Are you enjoying the view? Care to join us? I don’t mind!”
Yang Na could not hold back her laughter as she playfully punched his chest. She walked over to the window and drew the star-patterned curtains. Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com
“She’s so old. How can you joke like that with her?”
“If she weren’t that old, I’d be swearing at her. She’s been keeping an eye on me so closely that I can’t even leave the neighborhood,” Li Huowang said, pulling up his pants to reveal the electronic monitors on his ankles.
“Haven’t you recovered and been discharged? Why are there still so many restrictions?” Yang Na squatted down to curiously inspect the devices on Li Huowang’s ankles.
“It’s because of what happened before,” Li Huowang said. He sat down on a nearby chair as he recounted his experiences with a hint of irritation.
“I gave evidence that those two severed fingers must have belonged to the kidnappers. However, they said the blood on me was all my own, and the fingers had no DNA match. No injured people showed up to claim them either, so they still couldn’t fully believe my story.”
“I’ve clearly recovered, which even the doctors have certified, but they still don’t believe me. They think I might still have episodes.”
Yang Na leaned back on her hands on the bed as she patiently listened to Li Huowang.
“You saw the monitors on my ankles. They say it’s to prevent me from being kidnapped again and that it’s for my protection. But I know they’re just doubling down on precautions.”
Next, he painstakingly pushed the wrapped primordial breath toward his abdomen.
The ‘Truth’ cultivation method had seven levels, and Li Huowang had already reached the third.
Although the method came from Doulao’s memory and seemed dubious, he didn’t mind.
Since all true and false Heavenly Daos were under Ji Zai, the method was genuine now, despite it being possibly either true or false before.
Li Huowang’s forehead dripped sweat as he struggled to control the wrapped primordial breath.
Each push felt like moving a mountain.
After what felt like an eternity, when he had no strength left, he released all his effort and slowly opened his eyes.
He was close, but there was still progress. He would soon break through the third level.
As he opened his eyes, various objects that floated in the air fell to the ground. Dawn was breaking.
He was almost at Qing Qiu. Since Ji Zai couldn’t help, the stronger he was, the better his chances against the Dharma Sect.
Not long after, Li Huowang saw a convoy, with most of the people having red lotus tattoos on their foreheads. Many had tattoos on their exposed skin, but their clothes obscured the details.
Li Huowang ignored their stares and walked straight into the largest carriage pulled by four horses.
As he entered, Bai Lingmiao handed him a steaming bowl of food.
While he ate, Bai Lingmiao removed his socks and shoes, and then brought over a basin of warm water to wash his feet.
After quickly finishing his meal, he wiped his face with a towel and lay down to rest.
Due to the unusual phenomena caused by his cultivation, he had been traveling at night and hiding by day. The only time he could train was in the secluded spots where the convoy rested at night while they were on their way to Qing Qiu.
“Nana, thank you. You’ve been a great help,” Li Huowang whispered with his eyes closed.
“Senior Li, there’s no need for thanks between us.”
