Li Huowang nodded when he heard Bai Lingmiao. “It’s ok, we can go slow. How many more urns do we still have?”
“Don’t worry about them. Chun Xiaoman went to the escort office and entrusted them with the last of the urns that were to be sent back to their respective hos,” said Bai Lingmiao.
Hearing this, Li Huowang felt his heart beco lighter.
Bam bam bam!
At that mont, an urgent knocking sound ca from outside the room and interrupted both of them. “Master! Open the door! I did it!”
Li Huowang placed the map down and walked to the door.
Creak~
The door opened to reveal Lu Xiucai standing outside as he shouted excitedly with heavy eye-bags under his eyes. He held a single coin in his palm. It was the coin that Li Huowang had taken off from the bronze coin sword for Lu Xiucai to practice with.
“Master, I did it! The bronze coin just moved!” Lu Xiucai ran into the room without waiting for Li Huowang to say anything and placed the coin on the table.
Then, he started chanting to it while stomping his foot. “Am da mu bao tuo nan er!”
He kept repeating the chant and his voice slowly got louder and louder. His veins slowly started bulging and he looked like he was about to eat the coin. He repeated the chant nurous tis before the coin finally vibrated.
Covered in sweat, Lu Xiucai excitedly looked toward Li Huowang. “Master, look! I did it!”
Li Huowang walked over, inspected Lu Xiucai, and then looked at the bronze coin on the table. “You did it? Did you feel anything wrong with your body?”
“No, I feel great! This is the happiest day of my life! I’m finally half an Immortal! Hahaha!”
Lost in his own thoughts, Li Huowang looked at Lu Xiucai.
From the looks of it, Hanfu’s Nascent Soul did not lie to ; however, this is only the start. The side effects might manifest at the end. I only have one life, and so it’s better to be cautious.
“Continue training and don’t stop. Go back now. I will teach the other half to you tomorrow,” said Li Huowang.
Lu Xiucai nodded and left.
Once the boy left, Li Huowang turned around and smiled at Bai Lingmiao. He closed the door and lay down on the bed once again.
“Xiucai looks a lot better now,” Bai Lingmiao whispered to him.
“Hoho, is that so? I don’t think so. He’s completely different compared to before. I hope he can return to normal after learning it.” Li Huowang closed his eyes and steadied his breathing.
“Senior Li, what have you been up to all these days?”
Li Huowang closed his eyes. “Nothing much. Don’t worry, in just a few days, we will resu our journey once more. I won’t keep you from going ho.”
At that mont, Li Huowang suddenly felt a pair of soft hands holding him. “Senior Li, I’m not worried about my ho… I am worried about you.”
“? What’s there to worry about? With the Black Taisui, I won’t start hallucinating again. My left eye is slowly growing back and I can already see so light with it. It should regain vision in a few more days. Plus, no one is chasing after us this ti. This is one of the best tis of our lives,” said Li Huowang.
Li Huowang felt Bai Lingmiao’s soft body cuddling against him. He hugged her waist and pulled her closer.
Bai Lingmiao didn’t believe him one bit—she knew him like the back of her hands.
Sensing her distrust, Li Huowang sighed. He opened his one eye and saw the three illusions standing beside him.
After a mont, Li Huowang patted Bai Lingmiao’s back gently and comforted her, “Don’t worry. Everything will be fine. We will solve it.”
Days passed and slowly, Li Huowang had explored most of the town. Even though he had so leads, he still hadn’t managed to obtain any results from them.
At this mont, Li Huowang carefully placed his illusion beneath the ground and sat on a wall while observing the people walking past him.
Horse carriages and ox-carts passed by non-stop. The oxes shat wherever they wanted, but so children with baskets took the feces away not long after.
After the children collected the feces, they would stand beside a stall that sold pancakes. They were entranced by the delicious frying sll.
Staring at the people in front of him, Li Huowang silently pondered.
Maybe this place is too small. Even though a lot of people pass by here and there is a lot of gossip, I still don’t have a proper lead. Maybe I need to go sowhere larger? I can’t stay here for too long. If I can’t find them today, then I will have to go sowhere else. I’m sure I will et them one day.
After pondering for a while, Li Huowang leaped down from the wall and walked over to a tea shop. It was a place where one could find the most up to date information. All of the information about the town would go through here first.
Just as Li Huowang walked into the tea shop, a group of n ran out excitedly.
“Let’s go! I heard that there’s a troupe performing a pink show over there! The show they are performing is much more exciting than the storyteller of the tea shop!”
Troupe?
Li Huowang was confused. The only troupe left in the town should be the Lu Family Troupe.
After thinking about it for a mont, he entered the tea shop. However, except for the storyteller and the waiter who were talking to each other, there was no one else.
Well, I don’t think I will be able to glean any information here.
Li Huowang walked out and followed the group of n, running after them.
Li Huowang wanted to see what kind of show Lu Zhuangyuan was able to put up to have everyone within the tea shop be attracted by it.
The stage was not too far away, located at the western side of the town. Beneath the stage was a thronging crowd. So of them were chewing on beans while others were talking.
When Li Huowang got close, he saw Lu Juren pointing toward his wife while performing.
“Ai~ I~ Don’t want the best, nor the worst~ I want~ I want~ I want you~ and your heart~”
The crowd cheered underneath the stage.
This is not the script I rember.
Li Huowang was puzzled when he saw Lu Juren’s performance. Just as his thoughts reached this point, Lu Xiucai started singing to the beat of the music.
“I touch her nose~ Fragrance flows out from the room~ I touch her mouth~ Her eyes smile bewitchingly~ I touch her chin and she places it on her chest~ I touch her ears and they flutter to my touch.”
The lyrics were normal in the beginning, but they slowly beca more and more obscene until everyone started whistling beneath the stage.
Li Huowang now knew why it was called the “pink show”. He had been wondering why there were only n in the audience and no won.
Even faced with the incredible performance of the Liang Kingdom’s troupe, Lu Zhuangyuan had actually found a way to perform here.
He is indeed an experienced perforr.
After satisfying his curiosity, Li Huowang decided to leave the performance early.
But just as he turned around, sothing piqued his interest.
“This is much more interesting than the pink show from Pi County.”
“I thought that a plague was sweeping through there? You still dare to go there?”
