CH 255

Lv Zhuangyuan explained to his eldest son, "The Daoist is a big shot. Don't think he cares about these trifles. But even if he doesn't care, we need to be vigilant in our work!"

"Besides, this might be an opportunity for our Lv family! Haven't you heard what the scholar said? That flower-faced skinny guy was rewarded with divine powers by the Daoist. We're definitely stronger than him, right? Think about it carefully when you're in bed at night."

Lv Juren stared at his father's old face, realizing that he had been going around in circles just for this.

"Less talk, more action! Don't waste your time thinking about nonsense." Lv Zhuangyuan pulled his son towards the carriage.

After a while, the Lv family troupe began to warm up their voices during their free time. They knew they had to keep up their basic singing skills.

After lunch, everyone continued on their journey towards Liangguo with some anticipation. They still didn't know their exact location, but they noticed the green grass on the ground becoming looser and replaced by scattered bushes. Everyone understood that they were getting closer to Liangguo.

As the sun began to set, a cry of pain broke the calm atmosphere of the ox-cart team. Everyone turned their heads towards the sound, and saw Luo Juanhua sitting on the cart, holding her belly and looking panicked. Her skirt was wet with amniotic fluid.

"Quick! Help her onto the carriage. Juanhua is giving birth!" Lv Zhuangyuan's voice made everyone rush to help, but the men kept their distance.

"What are you doing here? You can't help with anything." Li Huowang asked Bai Lingmiao, who had hurried over.

Bai Lingmiao turned around, her cheeks flushed as she glanced at him. "I... I'm going to see how to deliver a baby. Maybe this knowledge will come in handy in the future."

Li Huowang stepped on the carriage wheel with his foot and lay on top of the carriage, watching the red clouds in the sky as the chaos continued in the distance.

Without any hallucinations, Li Huowang hadn't felt so at ease for a long time. He no longer had to struggle between reality and illusion.

"Daoist, you haven't had an episode in a while."

Li Huowang turned his head and saw the monk standing in the air, as well as Peng Longteng and Jinshan Zhao beside him. Although he no longer had hallucinations, these three things had been with him all along.

"Yeah, the Black Tai Sui is working. I don't have to fall into those illusions anymore. You know what? I had a slight desire to stimulate Wang Wei in the end, maybe that side is real. It's a pity that illusions are just illusions."Speaking of this, Li Huowang looked at the cloud in the sky that looked like Yang Na, his eyes straightened, and he said with deep nostalgia in his voice, "Actually...I really hope that it's real over there."

"Taoist, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"

"Hehe." Li Huowang turned his body sideways and looked towards the lonely blue hill in the distance. "If you don't understand, just forget it. Don't talk, or others will think I'm sick again."

After a while, Li Huowang stole a glance at the carriage behind him. It had been a while, why hasn't the baby been born yet?

He didn't know if this time was too long or too short, after all, he had never experienced childbirth before.

"I hope everything goes smoothly. If it doesn't, I can't help much."

"No, I learned alchemy at Qingfeng Temple before, but I don't even have a furnace with me, let alone being able to refine the Run Xue Dan."

"...hiss..." A faint voice made Li Huowang suddenly sit up, and after listening carefully for a while, he found that there was no sound around him.

With a puzzled expression, he slowly lay down again, "Did I hear it wrong? Where did the sound come from?" After thinking about it, Li Huowang used his little finger to pick his ear hole and found something inside.

As he kept scratching with his fingernail, he finally pulled out a long scab from his ear hole.

The moment the scab was pulled out, everything around him became clearer, and he could even hear the sound of grass growing on the ground.

"It's too loud, this won't do." Li Huowang took out a small saw-toothed scissors, turned over and jumped off the carriage, and cut off some wool from the sheep, stuffing it into his ear holes.

"Phew~ much better." Li Huowang lowered his head and put the small scissors back into the tool package.

"Huh? What's that?" Li Huowang looked at a small black dot on the top of a distant mountain, but unfortunately, it was too far away, and even though his vision was extraordinary, he still couldn't see it clearly.

"Waa~ waa~ waa~" A confident baby cry suddenly sounded, making Li Huowang turn his head and follow the others to the side of the ox cart.

As soon as he arrived at the ox cart, he saw Lv Juren laughing foolishly by himself, muttering to himself, "Hehe~ I have a son, hehe~ I have a son, hehe~"

When Li Huowang saw the crying male baby in Bai Lingmiao's arms, he couldn't help but feel puzzled. Was this child sick? It looked so ugly, like a hairless monkey boiled in hot water.

Seeing Li Huowang's expression start to become serious, Chun Xiaoman immediately knew what he was thinking and quickly explained, "Senior Li, this is just how newborns look. He's different from us.""Oh? Is that so?" After receiving detailed answers from Xiaoman, Li Huowang finally realized that he had misunderstood. The babies he remembered were at least three months old.

When they were just born, they looked so ugly.

As Li Huowang saw Lv Zhuangyuan crawl out of the carriage with his butt sticking out, he walked over to congratulate him.

"Hehehe~ congratulations, congratulations." Lv Zhuangyuan's wrinkled face was like a blooming chrysanthemum at this moment.

Then he bowed to the others who had gathered around, "Everyone~! I'm sorry! There are no eggs here, but we'll make up for it with these red eggs when we get to town!"

As everyone congratulated him, the atmosphere was harmonious. Suddenly, Li Huowang felt uneasy and looked up at the grassland in the distance.

The grassland that should have been dyed red by the sunset had a small black circle on it. The small dot that had appeared on the mountaintop before had moved closer!

"Something's not right!" The anomaly in the distance instantly made Li Huowang's expression serious. "Get the sheep together! Let's leave this place!"

Li Huowang's words instantly broke the festive atmosphere. Although they were a bit puzzled, seeing his serious expression, everyone took it seriously.

Amidst the barking of the mantou, the dozens of white sheep followed the ox cart and began to move again.

As time passed, the sky gradually darkened. Taking advantage of the last remaining light in the sky, Li Huowang saw that the black mass was getting closer and closer!
