Chapter 244: Treatment

Chapter 244: Treatment

Laying down on the soft grass, Li Huowang panted while staring at the wriggling Black Taisui. He was very happy. The last time he was this happy was when Yang Na gave him chocolate.

His entire body was aching all over and he could barely muster any strength. Even so, his objective behind risking his life by entering the cave had been achieved.

With the Black Taisui, he would finally be able to get rid of the hallucinations and would never be plagued by them again. He would finally be able to get rid of the sense of confusion and doubt that all the Strayed Ones suffered from.

“They told me that I can’t keep eating the Black Taisui or it would grow within my belly, but I don’t trust them! Even if that really is the case, all I need to do is to open up my stomach and dig it out! Then, I can just eat it again!” muttered Li Huowang.

While Li Huowang was thinking of the possibility and the chances of success, he suddenly saw everyone staring at him weirdly. They had already managed to escape from the cave and yet, they were still horrified. None of them even tried to help Li Huowang despite how injured he was.

“Stop staring and come help me pull the chain up. I tied Han Fu on the other end of the chain. His other head is still alive. Pull him up and I will try to pry out some information from Han Fu,” ordered Li Huowang. Even so, none of them made a move.

“What’s wrong with you guys?” Li Huowang tried crawling toward them, but all of them took a step back.

“Senior Li? Are you... really Senior Li?” Bai Lingmiao hugged her arms, her eyes filled with tears and fear at the thing in front of her.

Finally, Li Huowang realized that something was amiss with his body. He raised both his arms and was horrified to see what had happened to them.

His single eye underneath his ear closely examined his arm. When he tried to move his fingers, he saw the fingers stuck to his wrist move ever so slightly.

“Impossible! What is happ—” Li Huowang turned around and looked down on his body. Underneath the moonlight, he almost screamed from shock when he saw what his body looked like now.

He barely recognized his mangled body!

Sun Baolu’s body would be considered ‘normal’ when compared to him! His body had been twisted and mangled, his various organs shifted into different locations. The white tassels dotted his entire body and flowed gently. He was no longer human, or at least, he didn’t look like one.

It’s the white tassel’s power! After it dragged me down, I was transformed into this.

Li Huowang grabbed one of the white tassels and saw with his own eyes as the fingers touching the white tassels slowly shifted away from his hand.

Can I still be considered a human being?

Soon, Li Huowang felt his vision start to move under the effect of the white tassel.

Then, Li Huowang used his other three fingers to gently move his eye back to its original location; however, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t get it back to its correct location.

Shua!

After a while, Li Huowang decided to carve a slit near where his eye was and forcefully move it back to the correct location.

“Is it back in the right place?” asked Li Huowang while panting.

Once he got their approval, he started moving his other organs back to their original place. It took him quite some time before he managed to get all of his facial organs back in place on his face. He was in so much pain that he almost fainted.

“What are you guys staring at? Come and help me,” said Li Huowang.

With this, everyone crowded around Li Huowang and started helping him to move his organs back to their original locations. It was not an easy process, and while the white tassels did help in moving the organs back to their original location, it was not very accurate. Thus, Li Huowang had no choice but to use the dagger to forcefully correct the placements.

Meanwhile, Puppy’s hands trembled continuously as he moved Li Huowang’s left ear that had fallen onto the ground. Then, he picked it up in panic and quickly spat on it before placing it back on Li Huowang’s head.

At that moment, a hand tapped him on his shoulder. When he turned around and saw that it was Bai Lingmiao, he almost jumped in fright.

“Let me help suture it,” said Bai Lingmiao.

Hearing this, Puppy sighed and gave her the ear.

The entire process was akin to torture, but Li Huowang managed to endure it. No one knew whether it was because he was happy at having managed to capture a Black Taisui, or whether it was because he had already gotten used to such pain.

By the time they finally finished shifting all of Li Huowang’s organs back to their rough original locations, it was already daytime. Throughout the process, Li Huowang had been grunting and shouting in pain.
