"What is that?" Bai Lingmiao was about to move closer to Twin Soul, but Xiaoman stopped her.

"Be careful, don't go there."

After glancing at Twin Soul at the edge of the forest, Bai Lingmiao withdrew her hand. "It's okay, there shouldn't be any danger."

Seeing Bai Lingmiao go over like that, the others were also worried and followed with torches.

When they came to Twin Soul, they finally knew where those sounds had come from.

By the light of the torches, they saw the crazy Li Huowang dancing in the forest, covered in dirt, sitting on a pile of dry leaves, smiling at a spider web on a tree.

He held a long stone in his hand and gnawed on it, making a cracking sound, blood filling his mouth.

"Mom, I can eat, I don't need you to feed me. It's okay to have an IV in my hand."

Mantou was wagging its tail around Li Huowang, making the whimpering sound.

"Senior Li!" Seeing the pitiful state of the other, Bai Lingmiao couldn't help but cry out.

She took a few steps forward but stopped herself.

"Quickly! Go get a rope and tie Senior Li up! He'll be okay later!"

When Li Huowang opened his eyes again, he saw a familiar face with tears in her eyes.

He smiled weakly, "You guys came? How did you find me?"

Bai Lingmiao hugged Li Huowang's head tightly in her arms without saying a word, but her deep emotions were conveyed through the contact of their bodies.

A quick look at tinyurl.com/2p9emv8w will leave you more fulfilled.

Li Huowang felt a warmth in his heart, a feeling he hadn't felt in a long time... was it joy?

After chatting warmly for a while, everyone gradually quieted down.

Beside the bonfire on the dark forest path, Li Huowang took a sip of hot soup, warming his stomach and clearing the taste of blood in his mouth.

His mouth was torn apart, but he knew it would heal quickly.

He gently squeezed Bai Lingmiao's smooth right hand and comforted her again.

"It's okay, the trouble is over, we can continue on our way home."

Li Huowang looked at everyone around him, knowing that there were still people in this world who truly cared about him.

He thanked everyone with a bow of his hand, without saying what he was thankful for. Some things just needed to be kept in his heart and didn't need to be said.

At this moment, Lv Zhuangyuan, who was sitting on Danyang Zi's right side, spoke with a flattering smile on his face. "Oh my, that's not necessary, it's just what we should do.""What just happened to Xiao Daoye? Did he get possessed by evil spirits? Why is he eating stones? What kind of evil force is this?"

Li Huowang already knew the reason why the Lü family troupe came, but he didn't care about these small matters.

Li Huowang shook his head and pointed to his own head with a bitter smile. "I have a little mental illness, don't worry, it's nothing serious."

At this moment, Gouwa, who was squatting beside Jiang Yingzi, widened his eyes and spoke, "Senior Brother Li, are you really okay? You won't crawl into someone's belly again and eat from the inside out?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of Lü Zhuangyuan and the others turned green. Zhao Wu pounded him on the waist and quickly eased the situation. "What kind of talk is this in front of outsiders? When did our Senior Brother Li eat people? That was just a symptom of his illness, pretending that he thought he ate people."

"Ah~ yes, yes, yes, my bad, my pig brain always remembers things wrong." Gouwa realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly tried to make up for it.

However, this did not calm Lü Zhuangyuan at all. His smile froze on his face, and his youngest son next to him couldn't bear it and started to cry.

"Enough, stop pretending. Some things are done and can't be covered up." Li Huowang broke the false atmosphere created by the others.

"Lü leader, let's speak plainly. I have indeed done many bad things in the past, and I don't want to explain anything. I can only say that it was not what I wanted."

"Lü leader is afraid of hurting his family, so let's part as friends. If you don't mind, you can stay as long as you want. I will take care of your safety, Lǐ Móu will protect you."

"Oh, Xiao Daoye, what are you doing? Am I such a superficial person? I trust your character, you must have your reasons." Lü Zhuangyuan quickly picked up a bowl of hot soup with a smile on his face.

"I'll use tea instead of wine to apologize to Xiao Daoye. Who said we're leaving? Whoever leaves is a bastard!" Li Huowang lifted his bowl and took a sip from it.

Whether he left or not was a small matter in Li Huowang's heart. What he needed to consider now was what he was going to do next.

After thinking it over, Li Huowang spoke to everyone in front of him, "We've been delayed by these things for too long. Fortunately, the problems have been solved. We will continue to leave Sì Qí tomorrow."

As long as he safely sent these people home, he would have much less burden on his shoulders, and it would be much more convenient for him to do anything in the future.

"Senior Brother Li, we can't leave yet. Shifu said that if we found you, remember to go back and report your safety." Bai Lingmiao conveyed this unexpected information to Li Huowang.

"There's no need to make a special trip to report my safety. Just write a letter and send it to the post station."

Since the problem was solved, there was no need to make another trip. Although An Ci Temple was not far away, it was not close either.

"No, Shifu said that you need to make a special trip back. It seems like there's something she needs to tell you in person."

"Tell me in person?" Li Huowang frowned and thought for a moment. "It doesn't sound like it's just about reporting my safety. Does Shifu have something to tell me?"

After considering for a while, Li Huowang handed the bowl in his hand to Bai Lingmiao."Okay, let's go to the Henghua Mountain again. It's a good opportunity to sort out the overall situation of this world."

Since coming to this place, I've been chased and had no time to figure out what's going on here.

How many factions are there, how far does their influence extend, and what taboos should be avoided when dealing with them?

Since we'll be going further down the road, we must understand these things more thoroughly.
