"Oh?" The other person's words slightly focused Li Huowang's scattered attention.

"Why do you say that? I heard before that Liangguo is the richest place. While other places suffer from droughts, people in Liangguo never go hungry."

"Everyone says Liangguo is good, but people who haven't been there don't know that they don't treat people like humans at all!"

Wu Yue finished excitedly, seeming to recall some bad memories and feeling nauseous, covering her mouth in pain.

"Hmm?" The other person's words made Li Huowang frown. It was different from what Bai Lingmiao had said about her hometown, which was a worry-free paradise.

Li Huowang signaled to Bai Lingmiao sitting next to him, who was drinking water from a cow horn cup, and she quickly put it down and walked over.

Holding Bai Lingmiao's hand, Li Huowang asked the woman next to him, "Madam, could you please elaborate?"

Wu Yue put down her hand covering her mouth and looked at Bai Lingmiao who had come over, then shook her head.

"I was reckless. We shouldn't talk about this while eating, lest you can't eat. If you really want to know, let's talk about it tomorrow."

After speaking, she turned and left, leaving the two confused.

"Lingmiao, are you living comfortably in Liangguo? Has anyone bullied your family? How are the officials there?" Li Huowang asked Bai Lingmiao.

Li Huowang knew very little about Liangguo, the place where they were most likely to live in the future. He only knew that Liangguo was very large and had the strongest power among these countries. Besides that, he knew nothing else. If he really planned to spend his life with Bai Lingmiao there, this wouldn't do.

"I'm doing very well! No one dares to bully us! We have many family members, and my grandfather is the village chief. Moreover, in our village, other uncles and aunts are very good to me, and my peers, brothers and sisters, also treat me well."

"Like what Gouwa and Xiaoman said, they look down on and dislike people because of their appearance. But there's no such thing in our place!"

"Have you only been to Niu Xinshan? What about other places in Liangguo? Have you been there?" Li Huowang asked again, rubbing his chin.

"I don't know. I haven't been to other places," Bai Lingmiao's words made Li Huowang slightly concerned about what Baolu's mother had said earlier. He was really curious about what the other person wanted to say.

At this time, Li Huowang saw Sun Baolu vomiting in the distance. He stood up and walked over to him, leading him out of the tent again.

Unable to wait until tomorrow, Li Huowang planned to ask Sun Baolu first. He was his son and should have some understanding of his mother's situation.

"Don't drink anymore. Wake up. I'm asking you about your mother," Li Huowang asked Sun Baolu, who was leaning against a water bucket, drowsy.

"Drink! Drink more!" Sun Baolu, who was grinning foolishly, raised his empty cup and slammed it into Li Huowang's chest."Ah..." Li Huowang reached behind him and grabbed the hilt of his long sword. With a gentle pull, the soaring killing intent made Sun Baolu tremble uncontrollably, and his hazy eyes were quickly replaced by extreme fear.

"Clang!" The sword was unsheathed and put back in a flash. Li Huowang then grabbed the empty wine cup from Sun Baolu's hand and scooped a cup of cold water from the nearby bucket, pouring it directly onto his face. "Are you sober now?"

A quick look at "pawread dot com" will leave you more fulfilled.

Sun Baolu, breathing heavily, trembled as he touched the water droplets on his face and nodded repeatedly. "I'm awake, I'm awake!"

"Is your mother from Liang Guo? Did she tell you anything about it?" Li Huowang asked, and Sun Baolu's expression became strange.

"Li Shixiong, what's wrong? We were eating just fine, why are you suddenly asking about this?" Sun Baolu asked.

There was no need to hide this, so Li Huowang told him what his mother had just said to him and his concerns.

"If Liang Guo is really as bad as your mother says, then we should consider whether we should go somewhere else," Li Huowang said.

Sun Baolu's face turned red as he looked up at the moon in the sky. "Li Shixiong, can I not say it?"

Li Huowang was a little dissatisfied. "Does your family have so many secrets? You can't say this or that, otherwise, people might think you're the emperor's illegitimate child."

Upon hearing this, Sun Baolu gritted his teeth. "Okay! You saved my life and sent me home. Since you want to know, I'll tell you. Do you think my mother is beautiful?"

"Hmm?" Li Huowang didn't understand where the conversation was going, and whether it was related to his previous question.

"My mother is beautiful, right? When she was a young girl, she was even more beautiful than she is now. She was simply stunning!" Sun Baolu said with a bitter smile.

"That doesn't sound like something a son would say about his mother. You'd better watch what you say in front of me, an outsider," Li Huowang reminded him that Sun Baolu still seemed to be not completely sober.

"Li Shixiong, if my mother is so beautiful, what was she doing in Liang Guo?" Sun Baolu looked at Li Huowang with a wry smile.

Upon hearing this, Li Huowang's heart skipped a beat. He didn't answer the question but waited for Sun Baolu to continue.

"My mother was only fourteen years old at the time, but she was dressed up and hired as a courtesan in a nobleman's mansion. When someone needed her services, she had to wait nearby, and after they were done, she had to use her tongue to clean their butts! That's what a courtesan is!!" Sun Baolu almost gritted his teeth as he finished speaking.

In that instant, Li Huowang was shocked and suddenly understood why his mother felt nauseous when she mentioned Liang Guo and why she said that they didn't treat people like human beings. He had previously thought that being a concubine or a prostitute was still being a person, but in the eyes of some people in Liang Guo, the only value of a beautiful woman was to be used to wipe butts."You think this is disgusting enough? Wrong! This is just the beginning! Do you know what a rectal dog is? What about a meat screen? Or a beauty dish? These are all games played by the people of Liangguo!"

Sun Baolu left, leaving Li Huowang alone in the desolate outside.

After listening to Sun Baolu's story, he regretted it a bit, and then instinctively felt disgusted with such a place.

Compared to the nun from An Ci An, they were all exceptionally clean.

But when the disgust disappeared, Li Huowang's face showed deep helplessness.

He should have thought of it earlier. In this completely crazy world, there could be no utopia. It was just a difference of almost, or even worse.

"Why did we run thousands of miles for this? We should have just occupied Qingfeng Temple from the beginning."

But nowadays, it was just wishful thinking. After all, he still had to consider the needs of others to go home.

"Senior Li, are you okay?" Bai Lingmiao poked her head out of the tent with some concern, afraid that he might have another episode.

"I'm fine, I'll go in now."

The lively atmosphere inside the tent continued, but looking at the delicious food on the table, Li Huowang no longer had the appetite to eat.
