The Unruly Immortals

Although many mysteries had been solved, the troubles remained unchanged. However, Li Huowang's attitude was different from before.

"Isn't it just God Yu'er and the Fate Commander of Shidu? Bring it on! Your previous schemes failed and they won't succeed in the future either!" Understanding everything, Li Huowang's heart was filled with fighting spirit.

No matter how many causalities need to be severed, or how many reincarnations must be endured, as long as the final goal is achieved, Li Huowang was fearless. He was no longer afraid of death, let alone any of this.

Just then, with a "thud", a plate of tomato and egg over rice was placed in front of Li Huowang.

Li Huowang looked up at Wu Qi, who brought the food. "Thanks, one serving is enough, I'm full."

"Who said this meal is for you? It's for you to take to someone else."

"Deliver it? To whom?" A question mark appeared in Li Huowang's mind. Who hasn't eaten and needs him to deliver food?

"It's for your girl to eat. She's staying upstairs now. You haven't forgotten that you have a girlfriend, have you?"

"Yang Na?" Li Huowang suddenly realized, and with the severance of causality, Yang Na, whom he had sent home, naturally returned to Qing Wanglai's villa. She was here to find him.

"I wanted to tell you when you arrived, but as soon as you came in, you were chatting non-stop with Zhao Shuangdian and Qing Wanglai, I couldn't get a word in."

"I didn't want to interfere in your personal affairs, but your girlfriend seems emotionally unwell and hasn't eaten much lately. See if you can get her to eat more. If you can't, I'll have to give her an IV drip."

"Thanks, Wu Jie..." Recalling Yang Na's current situation, Li Huowang's mood became somber. He picked up the plate of covered rice and headed upstairs with a difficult-to-describe feeling.

It was still the third room. As Li Huowang pushed the door open, he saw Yang Na curled up in the corner of the bed, looking incredibly haggard.

"Come, Nana. Hungry? Let's eat first." Li Huowang helped her from the bed to the table.

"Huowang? Is it you, Huowang?" Yang Na grabbed Li Huowang's wrist tightly, as if afraid he would escape.

She quickly noticed Li Huowang's empty eye sockets, and with deep distress, she reached out to touch them. "Huowang, where are your eyes? What happened to them? Is it because of me? Did I cause you trouble?"

"No." Li Huowang gently held her hand tightly in his, looking at the wounds on her wrist with heartache. He softly explained, "It's not because of you. It has nothing to do with you, please don't blame yourself. You didn't cause me trouble. I brought it upon you."

"That's good, that's good. But you have lost an eye, and it pains me." After saying this, Yang Na's incredibly haggard face broke into a bright smile, "Huowang, I believe it. I really do. No matter what you say after, I believe it. I am Wu Sheng Laomu, I am like you, both Fate Commanders."

Yang Na's words pierced Li Huowang's chest like a sharp knife. Even though he had experienced it once before, going through it again still brought him immense heartache.

Li Huowang didn't want to show a sad expression, fearing Yang Na would again blame herself for his sorrow. He forced a smile. "That's good. That's good."

This time, Li Huowang didn't want to send Yang Na back. Since the next time would sever causality and return to the starting point, he might as well make Yang Na as happy as possible.

It's just like a dream that could end at any moment. Anyway, aside from himself, no one else would remember what happened.

"Huowang, I am Wu Sheng Laomu now, I am a Fate Commander, I can help you. I'm no longer a burden." Yang Na leaned her head fondly against Li Huowang's chest, speaking dreamily.

"You're not a burden. You can help me, Nana. You're the greatest. Now, eat your meal first." Li Huowang coaxed her like a child, scooping a spoonful of tomato and egg toward her mouth.

Feeding her spoon by spoon, watching Yang Na eat gradually restored her vitality, Li Huowang felt a slight relief in his heart.

"Huowang, don't worry about me. Since you don't blame me, my spirit is much better, and I can move." The weak Yang Na just tried to push away from Li Huowang but was quickly pulled back by him.

"Be good and rest well. It's nighttime now. We'll talk about everything tomorrow."

After finishing the plate of covered rice and soothing Yang Na thoroughly, Li Huowang took the plate and walked out.

As he stepped outside, he saw Qing Wanglai standing at the door waiting for him.

Looking at his kind smile, Li Huowang clenched his fist tightly and then slowly released it. Holding the plate, he walked downstairs.

"You're staying here tonight, right? The room is ready." So long as it didn't involve interests, Qing Wanglai's demeanor was always flawless.

"No need. I'll just stay in this room, keeping Yang Na company." Li Huowang brushed past him and headed down the stairs.

"Yang Na has awakened, that's good news. We have another ally on our side."

"Bang!" Ultimately, Li Huowang swung his fist. "I'm warning you! Don't get her involved! Or I'll kill you!"

Qing Wanglai wiped his face with the back of his hand, smiling, "Li Huowang, that's unreasonable of you. Since she can help, why waste that potential by not using it?"

"Besides, have you asked the knife's opinion? Perhaps she doesn't want to waste her talents, even if it's just slicing some fruit."

Li Huowang grabbed the ceramic plate and smashed it against the stair railing. With a clattering sound, a sharp shard was already pressed against Qing Wanglai's throat. "I said no! Are you deaf?"

"I'm not deaf, but Li Huowang, what are you afraid of? Didn't you say that if you kill the Fate Commander, it'll all reset to the starting point? So what's the big deal? I think you're overthinking it."

"We're short on manpower now. Another person increases our chances."

Hearing this, just as Li Huowang's anger was about to peak, he suddenly paused and released the ceramic shard.

"Fine, I'll take Yang Na to catch up with Zhao Shuangdian and say we'll join her alliance."

"Hmm?" Qing Wanglai frowned.

"Didn't you say, more manpower means better odds? Then if I take Yang Na to ally with Zhao Shuangdian, that should meet your expectations, right?" Li Huowang looked playfully at Qing Wanglai.

Seeing him fall silent, Li Huowang held the ceramic shard and slowly descended the stairs.

At this moment, Li Huowang finally found the way to communicate with the true villain that is Qing Wanglai. Forceful threats were useless, Wu Qi had been right all along—finding the pattern made it easy to deal with people like him.
