CH 377

"Dad?" Li Sui raised two eyeballs and watched the heart above her head beating rapidly.

She didn't know why her dad's heartbeat would sometimes beat so fast, but it was interesting.

Seeing that Li Huowang ignored her, Li Sui cautiously reached out her tentacles and poked him. When there was still no response, she extended her tentacles and pulled him down.

"Hiss! What are you doing! Be steady!"

Hearing Li Huowang's reprimand, Li Sui was startled and quickly retracted her tentacles.

Being scolded, Li Sui dared not move anymore and stayed in place, playing with the black spinning wheel her dad gave her.

She didn't know what a spinning wheel was, but since her dad called this thing a spinning wheel, she would call it a spinning wheel too.

Holding the two eyeballs, Li Sui circled around the spinning wheel several times and started to feel bored.

But she didn't want to go out. It was comfortable and peaceful inside her dad's belly. She liked this feeling.

After thinking for a while, Li Sui used her tentacles to wrap around her eyeballs and carefully looked outside through Li Huowang's navel.

In front of her dad was a table with nothing on it except a cup of tea. Her dad looked anxious, as if waiting for something.

"Where is this?" Li Sui tried to listen carefully to the sounds around her, but everything was vague and she couldn't understand anything.

"Oh, someone is here." Li Sui curiously looked at the chubby-faced man who had come back, holding a stack of books in his hand.

"Why is he holding books? Is dad going to teach me how to read again? I don't want to learn anymore."

When the man put the books on the table, Li Sui also looked over, but she didn't recognize many of the characters. "Heart Essence? What is that?"

Just as Li Sui was about to take a closer look, she found that her dad had already picked up the book and she couldn't see it anymore.

Li Huowang's pupils trembled slightly as he quickly scanned the words on the pages. He read them very carefully because they recorded information about Heart Essence!

After quickly reading the first few pages, Li Huowang paused for a moment. The information recorded here was indeed about Heart Essence.

But it wasn't the information he wanted, because it recorded how to use the eyes of Heart Essence with the hair of Heart Impurity to refine so-called artifacts.

"Next!" Li Huowang quickly picked up another book and started reading again.

He read book after book, but they were all about refining the body and mind of Heart Essence, which made Li Huowang feel extremely annoyed.

He couldn't use any of these things. Could he use his own organs to refine artifacts?

Just as Li Huowang was flipping through the books faster and faster, a sharp bird cry suddenly interrupted him.

"Why are you reading about Heart Essence? Do you have Heart Essence in your hands?"

When Li Huowang turned his head, he saw that Sima Lan, who had left, had actually come back!

Looking at the books about Heart Essence next to him, a chill ran down Li Huowang's spine. Would the other person suspect him because of this?!

After a brief moment, Li Huowang calmly put down the book in his hand and explained, "I saw it in the book before. It said that Beifeng is Heart Essence, so I wanted to know what Heart Essence really is."

"The elders of the Jiaojing Sect didn't teach you?" Sima Lan asked.

Li Huowang reached out his hand and took off the cloth bag on his back, uncovering the thin cloth to reveal the Heart Essence tongue carved on the rotten wood.

"When I was at the Cross Temple, someone did mention it, but they only told me that Heart Essence is a living treasure of heaven and earth, and I should handle it carefully. But they never told me why."

"Do we have to coax Beifeng if we meet him? How can we fight like this?"

Sima Lan nodded slightly, "I see. If you want to deal with Heart Essence, it's dangerous. Just think about it. If you force him to the most difficult point and he uses his innate energy, even immortals won't be able to save you."

Hearing this, Li Huowang swallowed hard, "What would be the consequences?"

"He can move mountains and seas, control wind and rain, all with just a thought!"

As Sima Lan said this, his voice became much softer. It seemed that he was scared by his own words.

"Huh?" Li Huowang was slightly stunned when he heard this. Move mountains and seas, control wind and rain, was that really him? Was that really Heart Essence?

Li Huowang's gaze shifted to Red Zhong, the faceless one behind Sima Lan, the evil monk without hatred, the headless Peng Longteng, and the upper body of Jinshan Zhao.

"This is not right! The Heart Essence in this person's mouth is completely different from me! Why didn't he mention hallucinations, why didn't he mention that dead people would follow, why didn't he mention that the body of Heart Essence would be displaced?"

"Hahaha, this little Mo family boy naturally doesn't know. He's just reciting from the book. Do you really think he has seen a living Heart Essence?" Red Zhong suddenly appeared after a long absence, mocking.

"Oh, no, this kid has seen a living Heart Essence. He has one in front of him now, hahaha!"

Li Huowang's eyes twitched slightly, completely ignoring Red Zhong's mockery, and continued to ask Sima Lan in front of him, "If dealing with ordinary Heart Essence is so dangerous, then dealing with Beifeng must be even more troublesome, right?"

Sima Lan nodded, "Yes, think about it. It's difficult enough to deceive a Taoist sect. That's why he became one of the Four Joys of the Taoist sect."

"So how do we deal with Beifeng?" Li Huowang asked again.

"If the Monitoring Bureau knew how to deal with Beifeng, they would have killed him long ago. How could they let him run around?"

Hearing this, Li Huowang's expression became serious. The information in the other person's words was huge, and he needed to sort it out carefully.
