Chapter 151 - Shadow Play
A horrifying shadow monster skulked near the window in the middle of the night.
It was truly a scary sight, but what scared Li Huowang the most was that the shadow was capable of recognizing him as a Strayed One. Li Huowang knew what it would mean if someone could find out that he was a Strayed One.
“Who are you?” Li Huowang asked the shadow monster.
“Hehe, you came to my territory and yet you don’t even know who I am?” asked the voice.
At that moment, Li Huowang saw the monster slowly phasing through the paper panes of the window and into the room.
Jiang!
Li Huowang immediately unsheathed his sword, filling the entire room with killing intent.
At this moment, a dark red sword was held in Li Huowang’s grasp. This was the first time he unsheathed it.
Something leaked out from the hilt of the sword and spread through his body, causing his blood to start boiling and his vision to be dyed red.
As Li Huowang saw the lattice-patterned black tentacle slowly rise out from the paper pane, he instantly lunged at it with his sword.
“Die!” He shouted unconsciously.
Seeing this, the shadow monster dodged to the right, unwilling to block the attack from the blood-red sword directly. The sword was filled to the brim with murderous intent!
As it moved to the side of the wooden door, the sound of metal clanging rang out.
“Hmm? That sword... What kind of relationship do you have with the You family from the kingdom of Si Qi?” asked the shadow monster. Seeing Li Huowang’s sword, the monster became hesitant. At the same time, its movements also became much more cautious.
Usually, Li Huowang would’ve taken the time to listen to it, but with the murderous intent of the sword assaulting his mind, he couldn’t think rationally.
The monster hadn’t even finished its sentence when the sword reached it once again.
A crimson flash could be seen when the sword sliced through the wooden door along with the shadow monster.
Seeing this, Li Huowang ran out of his room. He saw a figure using some wooden sticks to control the shadow monster from the window at the end of the corridor.
This time, Li Huowang didn’t pull his legs away and instead whispered to the Second Deity. “Thank you for alerting me. If it wasn’t because of you, then I would’ve been attacked in my sleep.”
Regardless of what had happened before, today the Second Deity had indeed helped him out.
But Li Huowang was still confused. He had been able to use his heightened senses to detect the bandits from a faraway distance before. So how was the assailant able to approach him until they were just outside the window? He even needed someone else to alert him.
Did the assailant have something on them that could hide their presence? I wonder if that item will be able to help with hiding the signs of me being a Strayed One? It would be great if I could just grab it from them. Then at the very least I won’t be plagued by people trying to hunt me down just because they were able to figure out that I’m a Strayed One.
Just as Li Huowang was lost in his thoughts, he felt a different sensation on his thighs.
He looked down. At this moment, the pale hands had disappeared, replaced by several tentacle-like creatures crawling up his thigh. They were cold to the touch and had the texture of soft snakeskin.
At the same time, a seductive voice rang out beside his ear. “Dear husband~”
Hearing the voice, Li Huowang felt his scalp go numb. “Enough! I told you to stop it!”
Just as Li Huowang was about to unsheathe his sword, the tentacles slowly retreated from his pants.
Li Huowang glanced at the sleeping Bai Lingmiao and then whispered underneath the bed in a harsh tone, “I don’t want to talk about what happened last time! Enough is enough! Go to sleep!”
After saying that, Li Huowang lied down on the bed.
The Second Deity also chose to silently remain underneath the bed, causing the room to once more become silent.
After the incident that just happened, Li Huowang dared not sleep, choosing to stay awake until the morning. It was only when he heard the shouts of the stall vendors from outside that he allowed himself to fall asleep.
By the time he woke up, it was already afternoon.
He wore his clothes and walked into the mess hall. As he ate, he thought about what had happened last night.
Based on their methods, they don’t seem to be from a sect like the Righteous Monastery or the Benevolent Nunnery. Maybe they are someone cultivating on their own like Dan Yangzi. In that case, there shouldn’t be too much of a problem. They said that this was their territory rather than their sect’s territory, so it’s very likely that they are indeed alone.
Li Huowang did not want to leave this town so quickly. After all, it was much easier to be ambushed in the wilderness than in a busy town.
As Li Huowang was eating some peanuts, he saw Lu Zhuangyuan proudly walking in with his sons.
Thinking back upon yesterday, it was not hard to determine what had happened.
“Troupe leader Lu, did you go and argue with the performers of the Nuo Opera? Looks like you won,” said Li Huowang.
