Seeing that Li Zhi's expression was off, Li Huowang walked straight over and said, "Brother Li Zhi, about what happened last night, I can explain."

Li Zhi raised his hand to stop Li Huowang from continuing and said impatiently, "Hey, what's there to explain? I didn't do anything to you, just leave it be."

After speaking, he stood up and took his wife's hand, walking out of the room.

Li Huowang watched the two figures disappear into the distance in silence.

"Twin Soul said I'm a Heart Essence Immortal, which seems like some kind of special title. And she also warned me not to trust the Home Protection Immortal. Maybe she knows something about me. I have to find a way to get this information out of her."

Li Huowang didn't want to lose this hard-earned clue.

"Senior Li, what's wrong? Do you have a grudge with those who were dancing?" Hearing Gouwa's words, Li Huowang shook his head.

"It's nothing, it's my own business. Let's all go eat breakfast. We finally have a bed to sleep in, so let's rest well these few days. Once we leave this village, we'll only be sleeping on the roadside."

Over the next few days, Li Huowang didn't go looking for Li Zhi or bother with what he was doing.

He knew that Li Zhi was probably still angry, and if he asked about Twin Soul now, it might not go well. He decided to wait for the right moment.

That's what Li Huowang thought, but while waiting, a small problem came knocking on his door: Bai Lingmiao was sick.

This problem was both big and small. It was big because in this remote place, minor illnesses were often neglected and could easily be fatal. It was small because, with the help of the pills he had made at the Qingfeng Sect, he could barely pass as a rural doctor. He couldn't cure other illnesses, but this minor illness was no problem.

Li Huowang carefully placed Bai Lingmiao's slightly feverish head on his lap and put a red pill into her mouth.

"Senior Li, am I going to die? I don't want to die..." Bai Lingmiao, who was very weak, held onto Li Huowang's sleeve tightly.

"Don't think nonsense, it's just a minor cold. You've taken the medicine, just rest well and sweat it out. You'll be fine."

A knock on the door interrupted their conversation. Li Huowang looked up to see Li Zhi and his wife standing at the door.

"How's it going? I heard from the villagers that your sister is sick. Do you need any help?"

"No, thank you." Li Huowang gently covered Bai Lingmiao with a blanket and walked towards him."Alright, no need to be polite. You treated me to noodles before, so I should return the favor. Bai Jia Old Immortal is amazing at treating illnesses and saving lives. As long as you don't have any ideas about my wife, we can still be friends. I'll help you out."

Li Zhi spoke naturally, as if the matter had already passed.

"It's just a minor cold. No need to trouble your great immortal. Besides, they asked for 'tea money' and we can't afford it."

Li Zhi was taken aback, but then laughed. "Yes, that's true. I caused trouble. Old Immortal can't just be invited casually."

"But Li Zhenren, you can't exorcise demons or treat illnesses. You're not very good at being a Taoist."

Li Huowang looked at the man in front of him again, as well as his natural smile.

"I'm already being treated. I've already taken the medicine. We just have to wait for it to take effect."

Li Zhi stood there with a stern face, shaking his head. "That won't work. I've seen other Taoists who are really good. They can just draw a yellow talisman, burn it to ashes, mix it with water, and no matter what illness, it'll be cured instantly."

Li Huowang lightly chuckled, feeling the relaxed atmosphere. He thought it was a good time.

"Li Zhi, can we talk? About your wife, she doesn't seem like an ordinary person. Are the other Twin Souls like that too?"

Li Zhi's smile froze on his face. "Li Zhenren, it won't be interesting if you say it like that. You're also a cultivator, and you definitely won't tell me all your secrets, right?"

"I have a question for you. Did you find these ragtag people somewhere? No, right?"

After speaking, Li Zhi patted Li Huowang's red Taoist robe and left with his wife, still smiling.

Clearly, although Li Zhi usually seemed very talkative and even complained about the immortals behind their backs, he pretended to be that way.

Li Huowang thought for a moment and then turned to take care of Bai Lingmiao again.

At three in the morning that night, he was awakened by a knocking sound on the window.

"Creak~" The wooden window opened silently, revealing a pair of blood-red embroidered shoes hanging there, swaying gently.

Li Huowang recognized these shoes. They belonged to Twin Soul. She had come to find him.

After thinking for a moment, Li Huowang spoke in a very low voice to the pair of embroidered shoes. "The forest at the edge of the village. I'll be there soon."

Seeing the shoes slowly retract, Li Huowang took a deep breath, got out of bed, and started getting dressed.Not long after, following the hazy moonlight, Li Huowang arrived in the pitch-black forest outside. Then, he saw Twin Soul standing motionless under a tree.

Li Huowang looked around warily and leaned back after not finding Li Zhi's figure. "Miss Twin Soul, do you have something to tell me?"

Twin Soul raised her bleeding fingers again and began writing on her red veil.

Li Huowang couldn't see clearly from the distance and instinctively leaned closer to the red veil.

"Be...care...ful..."

Halfway through writing, Twin Soul suddenly raised her hands without warning. Her black nails stretched out and fiercely stabbed into Li Huowang's neck.

"Boom!" Li Huowang's muscles tensed up instantly. He grabbed the red veil in front of him and kicked her hard in the stomach.

Although he temporarily escaped danger, four bloody holes appeared on both sides of Li Huowang's neck.

Trembling, he took out a few hemostatic pills and stuffed them into his mouth. He looked at Twin Soul, who was dressed in red and purple.

Li Huowang never expected that Twin Soul, who seemed to want to warn him before, would suddenly attack him.

However, when he saw the person's face, he was stunned.

Although this person had deformed features and various animal characteristics such as snake-green scales, hedgehog spines, and fox ears on his face.

But with the remaining human traces, he could still see that this person was clearly Li Zhi's appearance.

No, it should be Li Zhi in a female form, with a little bit of human skin left on her body, which was covered in powder.

Although she couldn't help the pointed teeth and animal mouth on one side of her face, she deliberately applied red rouge on her cherry-like mouth on the other side.

Seeing Li Huowang seeing her true face, "Li Zhi" covered her mouth with her hand and laughed sharply like a fox.

"After testing for so long, your Heart Substance turns out to be a cheap product. You're lucky you weren't snatched away by someone else beforehand."

"This voice has two layers, one in front of me and the other in the pitch-black forest around me.

"Boom boom boom!" A long and dense drumming sound came from the forest.

"Please~ the gods~"
