Under the Henghua Mountain town, Li Huowang led a group of people walking forward. Mantou seemed to be seeing so many people for the first time and stuck closely to Li Huowang's leg.

After a long journey, everyone was tired and needed to rest.

Although An Ci An was in sight, Li Huowang was not as anxious as before.

When the oppressive feeling that could be replaced by Danyang Zi disappeared, he could finally relax a little.

Li Huowang looked around with his slightly tired eyes.

The small town at the foot of the mountain was still the same as before. Perhaps because it was a transportation hub, although it was not a market day, the people coming and going on the road were very lively.

The only difference was that there were more beggars squatting in the corners.

The beggars in ragged clothes saw Li Huowang and his group, especially the three carriages, and quickly gathered around, holding up their broken bowls and singing a rhyme.

"Take a look here, a poor beggar has come. Sir, please have mercy on this poor wretch and give me some food and soup to wish you a long and healthy life..."

"Clang!" The long sword was unsheathed, and the beggars scattered like birds and beasts.

"Three bamboo!"

"Pa!" With a crisp sound, Li Huowang instinctively looked over there.

"Pong! Six wan~"

"Wow, what a hand, another nine dots."

"Hey~ One bam! Hahaha! Self-drawn pure suit~ Hahaha, give me money, give me money!"

The mahjong parlor was lively, almost every seat was taken, and the sound of dice and mahjong colliding was constant. Everyone was focused on having fun.

"Oh, it turns out to be playing mahjong." Li Huowang turned around and continued walking forward.

After a few steps, Li Huowang came to the old inn where he had stayed before. Stepping over the threshold, he said to the waiter who came up to greet him, "We need to stay at the inn and have some food. Tell the chef to prepare some hard dishes, but no pork."

"Okay~ Please come in, sir~"

"Li Shixiong, although we have money, we can't just keep spending without earning. Why don't we save some?" Bai Lingmiao obviously had some complaints about Li Huowang's extravagance.

Sitting at the head of the Eight Immortals table, Li Huowang took the tea from the waiter and took a sip, saying, "It's okay, let's celebrate. We don't eat like this every day."

"Don't you have any shame eating like this! You, a beast, have you ever thought that those people were all killed by you while you were enjoying your food! Why don't you just die!!"Facing Jiang Yingzi's baseless accusations, Li Huowang remained calm and continued to speak to the others, "After we finish eating, you can wait here. An Ci An is also dirty, I'll be back soon."

At first, he found it very difficult to accept the sudden appearance of two people by his side.

But as they spent more and more time together, Li Huowang had completely adapted to a ghost that had long since passed away, screaming in his ear.

All Jiang Yingzi could do was constantly curse, which didn't affect Li Huowang too much.

Compared to Jiang Yingzi, Danyang Zi always stood in the distance, staring at him with a gloomy expression.

After some simple testing, Li Huowang discovered that these two people were indeed just illusions and couldn't really affect him.

He didn't know how long this situation could last or if there would be other people appearing in the future. But compared to being replaced by Danyang Zi, the current situation seemed more acceptable.

"Hey hey~ the food is here~! Blue dragon goes to the sea~! Two dragons play with a pearl~! Three yangs bring good luck~! Fortune and blessings in the East China Sea~! Please enjoy, everyone~ Other dishes will be served later~"

Lv Xiucai, who was constantly salivating, was about to pick up his chopsticks when he was knocked down by Lv Zhuangyuan's cigarette. He smiled flatteringly at Li Huowang and said, "Master, you go ahead and eat. We invited you to this table."

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

Li Huowang looked at him with some surprise, too lazy to waste time on such trivial matters, and picked up his chopsticks to start eating.

For some reason, Li Huowang always felt that the Lv family troupe was more restrained in front of him.

After years of traveling outside, everyone had a big appetite, plus Bai Lingmiao and Gao Zhijian, who were big eaters, the table full of dishes and two buckets of rice were quickly eaten up.

After being full and drunk, Li Huowang picked up his tea cup and stood up, picking up his things and walking towards the outside of the inn.

"I'm leaving. I should be back before it gets dark."

As soon as Li Huowang left, Lv Juren put down his clean dishes and walked up to Lv Zhuangyuan, coughing lightly, "Dad, come here for a moment."

When they arrived at the deserted stable behind the inn, the nervous Lv Juren leaned against the black horse that was eating beans and asked in a low voice, "Dad~! Why aren't we leaving? Are you really planning to continue following him? Have you forgotten what they all said that night? That's not a master! That's a monster! His robe is stained with human blood! Aren't you afraid that he'll eat us one day?"Lv Zhuangyuan with wrinkles all over his face took out the cigarette from his neck and lit it up, taking a deep drag. "Maybe... Xiao Dao Ye has his reasons?"

"What reasons could there be for doing such a thing!! Oh my god, are you getting senile?!"

"Hey! Are you asking for a beating?! Who are you calling senile?!"

Facing the cigarette held up by Lv Zhuangyuan, Lv Juren, who was usually honest and simple, uncommonly did not dodge it. Instead, he stubbornly stared at his father in front of him.

"Let's forget about us! What about Xiu? What are you going to do about your granddaughter Xiu'er? The storytellers all say that demons love to eat young boys and girls! Can you bear to let Xiu'er be in danger?"

Hearing this, Lv Zhuangyuan uncommonly didn't argue, but took another deep drag, and the lit tobacco in the pipe suddenly brightened.

"Son, I know what you're talking about, but have you noticed that something's not right on this journey?"

"I know what's going on. At first, there were just more beggars on the roadside, which didn't seem like a big deal. But soon, they'll start selling their own children. This world is going to be chaotic."

"If we try to escape on our own now, we'll be a tempting target for anyone. But if we follow Xiao Dao Ye, at least the usual bandits won't be able to touch us."

"Your dad has lived for several decades and can judge people well. Xiao Dao Ye is not that kind of evil person. Although he has powerful abilities, he doesn't have such a cruel heart to do something conscienceless."

"But..."

"There's no buts. Let's leave it at that. I saw that your wife didn't eat much just now, which is unlike her. She's been feeling nauseous lately, so take her to see a doctor and see if she's pregnant."
