Dao of the Bizarre Immortal

After a few days of rest, Li Huowang finally regained his calmness.

Li Huowang stood by the window as he stared at the floating illusion of the member of the Sitting Oblivion Dao.

The faceless member of the Sitting Oblivion Dao was sitting on Peng Longteng's shoulder as he smiled at Li Huowang, feeling amused.

There's no need for me to be troubled. It's just an illusion. It's not the first one and I'm already used to it.

Li Huowang consoled himself.

Based on his behavior, he will keep trying to annoy and trick me. Since I

know

that he's a liar, I just need to ignore him completely.

"Really? That might not necessarily be the case." The member of the Sitting Oblivion Dao raised his hands and clapped. "It might be a big problem for us to be residing in your consciousness. We might only be four people now, but there might be more than forty the next time around~"

Li Huowang just ignored him and slowly limped back toward the table.

"Hehe, why aren't you talking?" asked the faceless man.

Just as the faceless member of the Sitting Oblivion Dao was about to continue annoying Li Huowang, Monk spoke up, stopping him, "Sigh, stop annoying the Daoist. Can't you see that he already has a lot to think?"

"Oh? And who are you?" asked the faceless man.

"I'm no one, just a monk. What's your name?" replied Monk.

"My name?" The member of the Sitting Oblivion Dao looked at Li Huowang and smiled. "I'm Hong Zhong."

Hearing this, Li Huowang turned around and looked at him. "

You

are Hong Zhong? I think you want to become one so much that you've gone crazy."

Right at that moment, the door opened and Bai Lingmiao walked inside while carrying some food.

Looking at Li Huowang, who was walking around, she was shocked and immediately placed the food down to assist him. "Senior Li, your wounds are still not healed. You can't walk right now!"

After carefully assisting him and seating him down at the table, Bai Lingmiao lifted a bowl of oily chicken soup, took a spoon, blew on it, and then fed Li Huowang.

"I'm injured, not disabled," said Li Huowang as he took the spoon before chugging down the soup. The room became quiet while he ate.

After a while, Li Huowang spoke up, "Miaomiao, to think that the Immortal family would be so useful this time around. They were even able to pull me back from the clutches of death. Looks like bringing you with me this time around was the right thing to do. How many lifespan pills did they take from the gourd?"

Bai Lingmiao hesitated. "Actually... The Immortal families..."

However, before she could finish, a long black fingernail tapped Bai Lingmiao's shoulder.

Li Huowang stopped eating; only after seeing that it was the Second Deity did he continue his meal. "Is something wrong?"

As far as Li Huowang was concerned, it was very rare for the Second Deity to make an appearance in daylight. In fact, this was the first time it did so.

Under his gaze, the Second Deity placed a red veil to cover both her and Bai Lingmiao's heads.

Feeling puzzled, Li Huowang stared at them and tried his best to listen to what they were whispering about.

However, he couldn't hear anything except for some minute sounds.

What are they doing? They must be quite literally stuck together at this point. Is she hiding something from me?

Just as Li Huowang's was wondering about the situation, Bai Lingmiao pulled down the red veil. At this point, the Second Deity had disappeared, leaving behind only her.

"Tell the Second Deity that it was a good magic show," said Li Huowang as he picked up his chopsticks and continued eating the remainder of his meal.

Seeing him like this, Bai Lingmiao revealed a forced smile.

"Are you alright? What did she say?" asked Li Huowang while eating.

"Nothing."

"If it's nothing, then let's eat first. Don't just stand there," said Li Huowang. He knew that forcing her to answer him wouldn't work. The best course of action for him would be to ask Chun Xiaoman later on. After all, she was Bai Lingmiao's close friend.

Just as Li Huowang was lost in his thoughts, Bai Lingmiao suddenly gasped and pointed at his nose. "Senior Li, your nose ..."

Li Huowang touched his nose, only to feel a slimy tentacle coming out from one of his nostrils. However, he did not panic and simply pushed it back inside his nose.

"Senior Li, I've wanted to say this for a while, but the thing you ate was not right! Why don't we let it go?" pleaded Bai Lingmiao.

By this point, any sane human could see that there was a serious problem with Li Huowang's body.

However, Li Huowang was adamant in his refusal. "No."

When she heard his refusal, Bai Lingmiao felt quite sad.

Seeing her like this, Li Huowang sighed. "These are just some minor issues. We can fix them."

Li Huowang naturally knew that there was something different about the Black Taisui in his body. Something unexpected had happened and things might take a turn for the worst.

Even so, he couldn't stop eating it. Even if the side effects were big, he had to continue eating the Black Taisui's flesh so that he could suppress his hallucinations.

Compared to that, dealing with the Black Taisui in his stomach was nothing.

Li Huowang patted Bai Lingmiao's soft hands and said, "Don't worry. Everything will be fine. Eat."

Bai Lingmiao wanted to say something but the words were stuck in her mouth. She just frowned and started eating her meal.

After their meal, Li Huowang once again lay down on the bed. According to Bai Lingmiao, he needed to rest a lot.

Soon, the room turned silent, to the point that one could even hear a pin drop. However, Li Huowang couldn't rest while the issue hadn't yet been resolved.

"Let's talk," Li Huowang said while looking toward the rafters.

"Hong Zhong, I think he's talking to you," said Monk, his body halfway inside a wall.

Hong Zhong shook his bloodied head. "No, he's talking to the Black Taisui in his stomach. This is fucking interesting, hehe."

Meanwhile, Li Huowang ignored the two illusions and just waited for a reply.

Even though he couldn't stop eating the Black Taisui, he still needed to resolve this issue. At the very least he must slow it down.

Based on how it had saved Li Huowang the last time around, he had a feeling that he might be able to communicate with it.

But, it didn't look like it wanted to appear; the Black Taisui would appear whenever he didn't want it to appear, but when he needed it, it would not appear.

After a while, Li Huowang suddenly remembered something and put a finger into his ear. Then, he pulled out an entire wad of cotton from inside his ears.

The moment he did, his ears were bombarded by a slew of loud noises.
