"A dog face with its skin peeled off? Is it smiling at me?"

Listening to Bai Lingmiao's words, Li Huowang, who couldn't see, painted a horrifying picture in his mind.

After Li Huowang swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, he asked in the direction of the previous voice, "Mantou?"

"Wang Wang!!" The familiar barking sound rang out.

Li Huowang had been raising Mantou for over a year, and he would definitely not mistake it. That was Mantou's voice, and it didn't contain any pain or fear. Instead, it carried a hint of excitement and urgency.

With a furrowed brow, Li Huowang tilted his ear and tried to listen in that direction, then asked again, "Li Sui?"

Li Sui's voice, which overlapped with the barking, sounded from the same direction. "Dad, I'm here."

Saying that, Li Sui seemed to want to climb in from outside the window, but was immediately interrupted by a rapid drumming sound.

"Dad, Mom won't let me come over." Li Sui's voice carried a hint of grievance.

Hearing this, Li Huowang rubbed his temples in pain, not knowing what to do for a moment.

He didn't even know how to address the thing in front of him now. What did Li Sui do yesterday under the influence of the disaster?

"Dad, don't you want me anymore?" Li Sui's voice had a hint of a sob, mixed with Mantou's low whimpering.

Li Huowang patted Twin Soul's shoulder in front of him and said, "It's okay, he can't hurt me, even if I'm blind now."

Then, with a solemn expression, Li Huowang walked past her and leaned towards the direction of the voice.

Although Li Huowang couldn't see, he still had a sense of sight. He quickly walked to a distance of one zhang from the other person.

"Come in and talk, don't just lean outside the window like this."

With two heavy footsteps, Li Huowang smelled a bloody smell. She was standing in front of him now, and it wasn't the smell of human blood, but the smell of dog blood.

Li Huowang thought for a moment and reached out to touch that side.

The first thing Li Huowang touched was a rough tongue among sharp teeth.

That tongue quickly licked and quickly cleaned the scab on Li Huowang's hand back. "Dad, your hand is bleeding."

Li Huowang moved his hand along the tongue and touched a dog face without skin. It had little muscle, and many places were directly exposed bones.

At this moment, the dog face still had the straw hat that Li Huowang bought for Li Sui, but the straw hat was in a very bad condition, with only one frame left, and it didn't cover the face at all.

Then, Li Huowang's hands left the dog skull and touched the other parts of her body inch by inch under the tattered raincoat.

Under the dog face was a dog body, just not in the posture of being on all fours, but hunched over like a humpbacked person.

There was an obvious difference in touch compared to Mantou in the past. Something was wriggling under the body, supporting the entire body. Many places were even slightly disjointed, as if a strong man was forcibly wearing a much smaller piece of clothing.

As a person who had experienced it, Li Huowang knew what it was. Those were Li Sui's tentacles.

When Li Huowang brushed past her back, the tentacles even extended out from inside and gently wrapped around his fingers.

Some of the tentacles hadn't even penetrated, they were exposed directly.

Her limbs had also grown longer and thicker, and even twisted and deformed by the tentacles, so her body was slightly taller than Li Huowang.

Through his hands, Li Huowang sensed a dog-faced monster with twisted flesh and covered in tentacles in his mind.

After a long time, Li Huowang took a deep breath and asked slowly, "What are you now? Are you Mantou or Li Sui?"

"Dad, I'm Li Sui. Wang Wang!" With a hint of bloody heat, Li Sui's voice blew onto Li Huowang's face.

"Where did you go last night? What happened?"

"Dad, I don't know either. I was originally playing with Mantou, but then I fell asleep. When I woke up, I couldn't find Mantou anymore."

"I seemed to hear you calling me, so I hurried over."

Listening to Li Sui's explanation that sounded like a stream of consciousness, Li Huowang sighed deeply. "How could this be?"

He did know that Black Tai Sui had the ability to take over someone else's body, but he really didn't expect this situation.

Was the person in front of him Li Sui or Mantou? Or a combination of both? How should he treat her?

Feeling Li Huowang's low mood, the dog face pressed against him, and the hard skull gently nudged against Li Huowang's chest. The tongue licked Li Huowang's chin, and the tattered straw hat on her head fell to the ground.

Feeling her affection towards him, Li Huowang hugged her with both hands, thinking for a long time.

In the end, he lightly patted her tattered raincoat. "Alright, alright. It's fine like this. It's already good enough that you're not dead. I don't expect too much."

Perhaps others would feel scared and fearful when faced with this bloody monster.However, Li Huowang was not the same. After all, in this utterly insane world, who could claim to be better than the others? His current state was probably no better.

Li Huowang turned around and looked in the direction of Bai Lingmiao. "Miao Miao, she will be our daughter from now on."

This novel is available on "pawread dot com".

"Our...our daughter? She?"

"Yes, Li Sui is a genderless Hei Taisui, but Mantou is female. So, she will be our daughter from now on. I hope you won't mind."

As Bai Lingmiao hesitated, Twin Soul walked over and gently stroked the terrifying head of Li Sui.

—————

The disaster had passed. Although the various events that had occurred in this short period could give people nightmares for several nights, life had to move on.

After the intense discussions gradually subsided, life returned to normal.

"Master, master, it's time to get up."

The napping Master Wu was awakened. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw his wife.

"What time is it?" He sat up leisurely, stretched out his feet, and waited for someone to help him put on his shoes.

"It's the hour of Xu. If you sleep any longer, we'll have to light the lanterns for the journey, which costs money."

When he chose to teach in Niuxin Village, he chose the morning and afternoon. However, many people had to work in the fields, and even the young Yang had to cook. In the end, he had no choice but to adjust the time to the evening.

"Hmm, help me change my clothes." He stretched out his hands.

"Oh dear, I have to collect the dried radishes from the roof. I don't have time to serve you today. Dinner is on the table. Remember to wash the dishes and put them in the kitchen after you finish."

Master Wu glared at her, "I am a scholar! How can I be near the kitchen!"
