Chapter 458: Appearance

Li Huowang was no longer worried after hearing that someone would handle the Natural Disaster. If the Liang Kingdoms Surveillance Bureau couldn't handle it by themselves, there was still the Surveillance Bureau in Hou Shu and Si Qi.

It felt nice to have someone strong to deal with the Natural Disaster; Li Huowang didnt even need to do anything. Time ticked by, and everyone saw that nothing bizarre was happening except for the dark skies.

Actually, everyone's attention was on the delicious scent of beef, and they crowded around the entrance to the kitchen of the Bai Family Estate.

Are we really going to eat beef? This is treason. Im scared...[1]

Yeah. Its such a waste to kill a cow. It couldve helped us in the field for a very long time.

Well, the cow is already dead, so there's no use crying over it. I've never eaten beef before, so Im excited.

Soon, everyone had their own bowl of rice topped with large pieces of beef. They muttered to each other, comparing beef slices to see who had the larger pieces before eating with jovial smiles.

Just eat. Dont think about it too much about it. Who do you think you are? An immortal or something? You dont have to bother with that Natural Disaster. Li Huowang received the massive cow heart that had been stewed with rock sugar.

This is too big. Li Huowang stared at the massive heart that weighed at least four catty. The only way to cook it was to stew it whole, or the insides of the heart would remain raw.

Go ahead and eat it first. If you cant finish it, just give it to me. I have a big appetite.

Bai Lingmiao picked up her chopsticks and dug out a gold bracelet from inside the heart before presenting the dish to Li Huowang.

Why did you put a gold bracelet inside the heart of the cow?

I dont know. My mother taught me that, and she said it's good for the body.

Li Huowang was actually pretty hungry after running around all morning dealing, trying to deal with the Natural Disaster. He poked his chopstick into the heart and ate it as if it were a massive dumpling.

A distinct fragrance exploded in his mouth, and he chewed on it with a smile.

Bai Lingmiao was stunned. Then, she realized the meaning behind his words. She slapped the cow heart away, and it splattered on the ground. You tricked me! You dare trick me?!

If I hadn't done that, would you have told me anything? What was your plan? Were you planning on telling me only after you've gone completely blind?" Li Huowang asked, staring at her pink irises covered in white specks.

Li Huowang had actually caught onto what the Second Deity was trying to say amidst her hesitation, and he realized by then that Bai Lingmiao was hiding something from him.

However, it was still astonishing that he managed to deceive so much information from her.

Bai Lingmiaos tone of voice rose as she exclaimed, Fine! I admit that I've been hiding information from you, and since I've already admitted it. Isn't it fair for you to admit to the truth as well? You're hiding the fact that you're still a lunatic, right?

"You've been running up Cowheart Mountain so you could somehow slip into your hallucination. Do you really think that Im blind?!

Li Huowang took a deep breath. He was about to explain when a dog's barking startled them out of their quarrel. Li Huowang instantly knew that Bun was the one barking, but it was Li Huowang's first time hearing such emotions in Bun's barks.

Li Huowang brought Bai Lingmiao into the yard, and they saw Buns fur standing on end as it glared at the main gate.

The main gate was ajar, and it was creaking as it swayed in the wind.

Huh? I thought I locked the gate. Why is it open? Zhao Wu asked, running up to them.

And that was when Li Huowang felt a shiver down his spine upon realizing something: everyone in the village was currently inside the Bai Family Estate.

Li Huowang jumped up onto the wall and looked around until he eventually found something suspicious. A man wearing funeral clothes and a hat was standing in a dark corner of the village.

The man had a bizarre appearance; his head was massive, it was half as big as his entire body, and he was wearing a massive hat as well. The man's legs were short, but his arms were long.

It was a surreal sight.

If Li Huowang were asked about the one fact that he had learned while living in this bizarre world, he'd respond with the fact that only evil entities could be so deformed and bizarre, just like the girl who had summoned the God of Happiness.

1. In ancient China, eating beef was illegal because cows were important animals used to till the fields. Its also a sign of respect for the cows after they worked hard in the fields.
