CH 219

Upon hearing Li Huowang's response, the forked tongue slowly retracted into the blood-filled mouth under the red hood. The mouth full of sharp teeth slightly curved upwards, revealing a faint smile.

Twin Soul, lying on the bed, leaned towards Li Huowang, who was holding Bai Lingmiao.

The three people lying on the bed didn't say another word, and the room finally quieted down.

As expected, Li Huowang overslept the next day, but fortunately, there was no one chasing after him.

"Li Senior Brother, here you go." A bowl of milky-white liquid was placed in front of Li Huowang, who had difficulty moving.

"What is this?" Li Huowang noticed some white things floating inside.

"Sheep milk tofu, I heard from Baolu that in Qingqiu, drinking sheep milk is good for healing injuries."

Li Huowang took a big sip, unable to describe whether it was good or bad, but he was not picky about food and drink as long as it wasn't too salty or spicy.

After finishing the drink, Bai Lingmiao picked up a towel and gently wiped off the milk mustache from Li Huowang's mouth.

"How is Sun Baolu's food preparation going?"

"He went out early this morning, saying that the sheep at that place were sick and he needed to go to several other places to find food."

"What? Sheep? I clearly asked him to buy food. Why did he buy sheep?"

Bai Lingmiao smiled, "I asked him the same thing just now, but he said that in Qingqiu, live sheep are food. Sheep milk can be drunk, sheep dung can be used as fuel, and live sheep can walk by themselves, which is much more convenient than carrying dry rations."

"Oh, I see... then okay." Li Huowang planned to listen to the local's advice on this matter.

After putting down the bowl, Bai Lingmiao gently held Li Huowang's calf in her arms, pulled down his pants, and carefully inspected the healing progress of his severed limb.

"Li Senior Brother, look, it has grown to the ankle. In a few days, it will be completely healed." Seeing Li Huowang's body getting better, Bai Lingmiao was filled with joy from the inside out.

Looking at her delicate face, Li Huowang was stunned and couldn't help but recall everything that happened last night.

"Lingmiao, is there anything you're hiding from me recently?"

"Huh? What's wrong? There's nothing." Bai Lingmiao looked at Li Huowang and tilted her head in confusion.

Regardless of whether the other party really knew or not, Li Huowang got straight to the point. "I'm talking about Twin Soul. Has she influenced you? Or have those immortals threatened you?"

"No, she... how could she threaten me? Our lives are connected. If I die, she won't survive either."

"Is that so?" Li Huowang looked at Bai Lingmiao thoughtfully. "Remember, I'm by your side. If you have any trouble, remember to come to me, okay?"

Bai Lingmiao nodded. Then, with a bit of caution, she asked, "Li Senior Brother, can we go out for a walk today since there's nothing to do?"

"Go out for a walk? Why?"

"Just... to have some fun. I haven't been to Qingqiu yet, and it looked lively outside yesterday when we came in." Bai Lingmiao's face showed a rare hint of mischief.

Li Huowang looked at Bai Lingmiao in front of him again and realized that she was just a young girl who also wanted to relax.

She had always been so sensible that he almost forgot that Bai Lingmiao was still just a teenager.Li Huowang suddenly felt guilty, not having considered this.

"Okay, let's go. We'll have a good time today." Li Huowang picked up the cane next to him and walked out of the shabby inn with Bai Lingmiao's support.

As soon as they stepped out, the sun shone on them and Bai Lingmiao immediately frowned and squinted her pink eyes. "The sun is so big today."

Li Huowang quickly untied the white ribbon tied around her wrist and covered her eyes with it. "No, it must be tied up, otherwise it will hurt your eyes."

"But...then I can't see anything." Bai Lingmiao's mood fell, finally having the opportunity today.

"Then you hold onto me, I'll tell you what I see, okay?"

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

"Okay!" Bai Lingmiao smiled slightly and grabbed Li Huowang's clothes.

"Lingmiao, there's someone buying a lamb in front of you. Come, reach out and touch it."

Bai Lingmiao reached out and touched a furry head. The sheep's tongue licked her hand, startling her. She quickly pulled her hand back.

After a while, she carefully reached out again.

"Let's go, let's keep walking."

Li Huowang, with one eye and one leg, hobbled with his cane, slowly leading the blindfolded Bai Lingmiao through the market.

Through Li Huowang's description, Bai Lingmiao gradually learned about the details of the entire market. She was really happy now.

Even though she couldn't see anything, she could still feel that Senior Li cared about her and was accompanying her.

Suddenly, Li Huowang stopped and Bai Lingmiao couldn't stop her feet from bumping into his back. "Senior Li, why did you stop? What did you see?"

"Oh, there's a group of people doing tricks in front of us. They're spitting fire, and the fire is really high, burning someone's hair. That person is jumping really high."

Li Huowang's description amused Bai Lingmiao, and she even wanted to take off the ribbon and steal a glance, but Li Huowang stopped her.

"And that person, he's amazing. He can actually swallow swords. Three swords went straight into his throat, without even blinking."

Li Huowang accompanied Bai Lingmiao with a smile on his face, continuing to recount the row of people chained up in front of them.

The ragged slaves had dull eyes and had already been completely numb.

Obviously, the characteristic of Qingqiu was not just the green noodles and the tent inn, but also the dark side, where they were selling people!

"Beside the tricks, there's also a monkey show. That monkey is really smart, even whipping its owner." Li Huowang looked at a severed head and continued to recount.

"Quick, that monkey is running towards us, let's go."

Li Huowang limped away with the blindfolded Bai Lingmiao.

He continued to accompany Bai Lingmiao, thinking that they had seen enough, but after a while, he saw a dead person on the platform of the market, someone who was being disemboweled with a knife.

"Senior Li, what's over here?"

"Over here...someone is wrestling. That fat guy is really fat, probably as heavy as the two of you."

"Senior Li, I'm not that fat." Bai Lingmiao blushed and lightly hammered Li Huowang's arm.

"Then I'm wrong. Let me correct myself. That fat wrestler is as heavy as four of you."Li Huowang suddenly looked up at the sky, something had just covered the sky.

It was vultures, dozens of pitch-black vultures swooped down and directly covered the corpse, frantically tearing it apart.

The vultures had little flesh but were fiercely competitive in their feeding. Once they were full, they exploded like flies, leaving only scattered bones and hair on the ground.

The people who had been waiting picked up small hammers and lightly tapped the remaining bones.

When they were tapped into the appropriate shape, they were decorated on their hair and clothes.

Li Huowang suddenly realized how the bone ornaments on these Qingqiu people came about.

"Senior Li, what did you see? Hurry up and tell me," Bai Lingmiao pulled on Li Huowang's clothes and kept asking.

"Da da da" At this moment, Mantou stepped through the crowd with small steps and came to Li Huowang's side.

It put the half skull in its mouth at his feet, wagging its tail and squatting there, constantly panting.
