Chapter 1013: Truth or Lies
Burning tears streaked down Li Huowang’s cheeks, dripping onto the floor. He stared at the unmoving Yang Na in despair. There was nothing he could do.
Wu Qi sighed and spoke gently, “You used to live in a mental asylum, didn’t you? Then you should recognize what’s happening to her. Severe depression often ends like this. I can’t even imagine how she managed to find us here.”
“Nana?”@@@@
Li Huowang shook her gently, but her unfocused pupils remained vacant. The timeline had reset, but something was different this time.
Yang Na had always asked about his missing eye when she first saw him in the past.
Now, she looked like an empty husk.
Trying to shake her out of her stupor, Li Huowang suddenly recalled something. “Nana, is this because I took your Heavenly Dao of Death? Is that why you’re like this?”
He repeated the question, his conviction growing as he did. He nodded, convincing himself. “Alright, then. I’ll give it back to you. I’ll return it all!”
Li Huowang kissed Yang Na’s lips and bit his tongue hard. Blood flowed freely, which he funneled into her mouth.
But it wasn’t enough. He tore chunks of flesh from his mouth and fed them to her.
Holding her tightly, he murmured in her ears, “Nana, come back. I’ve returned the Heavenly Dao of Death to you. You’re the Heavenly Mater again. You’ve reclaimed it, so please come back. I need you. I need your help to deal with Qing Wanglai.”
Wu Qi pursed her lips and quietly slipped out of the room, leaving the couple to themselves.
Li Huowang talked incessantly to Yang Na, who finally replied after thirty minutes.
She placed her emaciated hand on his back. “Huowang? What’s wrong? Why are you crying? Is it because I’m not good enough?”
Li Huowang released her, noticing the light return to her eyes.
“Huowang... What happened to your eye? Why do you only have one? Is it because of me?”
“Huowang, what’s going on? Why are these here? Who placed them?”
Glancing at Yi Donglai and Yang Na, Li Huowang gently guided Yang Na to a stool. “Nana, there’s something I need to explain. A lot has happened, but you’ve forgotten.”
He proceeded to tell her about Qing Wanglai’s betrayal. Li Huowang needed as many allies as possible to kill Qing Wanglai later.
“Nana, do you understand what I’m talking about? Qing Wanglai is the Three Ancient Ones. He’s gone mad, and we need to find a way to control him. We need to devour his Heavenly Dao.”
Yang Na nodded without hesitation. “I understand. What do we do next?”
Li Huowang pondered momentarily and said, “We need to find Zhao Shuangdian first. We can’t fight Qing Wanglai yet—it’s too risky. He could turn others against us if we’re not careful.”
Having taken the initiative, it was simpler to formulate a plan. Li Huowang felt confident that the Three Ancient Ones and Shai Zi wouldn’t threaten the Simings of Baiyu Capital this time.
“Wait,” Yi Donglai interrupted. “Little Li, you need to tell me what’s going on. What’s happening?”
With so much chaos, Yi Donglai was utterly lost.
Frustration flashed across Li Huowang’s face. “What do you mean you don’t understand? I’m saying that I’m not ill and that everything I’ve said is real. Everything you’ve written in your thesis is true too!”
But Yi Donglai couldn’t believe it, “But... even if everything you’ve said is true... what does that have to do with me?”
“Everything! You said it yourself—you’re Da Nuo! You’re a Grand Siming!”
Yi Donglai’s face visibly turned red from anger.
“That’s because they’re holding my sister hostage! I only said that to fool them. It’s all a lie!”
“A lie?” Li Huowang laughed bitterly. “Do you think something becomes a lie just because you call it one? I thought the pill recipe I gave Dan Yangzi was fake too, but he became an Immortal! There’s no truth or lies here. You are a Grand Siming. You were Da Nuo from the moment you said you were Da Nuo.”
