Chapter 310 - Speak

“You want me to lie to her!” Li Huowang spat out his words from the gaps of his teeth.

“And what’s wrong with that? Do you dare to look down on lying? We can use it for both evil and good! If you do as I say, then at most, you would just be telling a little white lie,” said Hong Zhong.

Seeing this, Monk sighed and pulled the excited Hong Zhong away from Li Huowang.

On the other hand, when she sensed that something was wrong, Bai Lingmiao’s voice became a lot more gentle, “Senior Li?”

She extended her soft white palm and carefully caressed Li Huowang’s charred fingers. “Senior Li, don’t think about it too much. You must be tired after traveling for so long. Rest now. We can talk tomorrow.”

After saying that, Bai Lingmiao carefully held Li Huowang’s hands until he reached the bed. She was not the slightest bit afraid of his horrifying looks and just let him sleep in her bed.

As he lay down, Li Huowang took a light breath. The smooth silk sheets and the rice husk pillow were both filled with Bai Lingmiao’s scent.

“Senior Li, you were completely soaked in the rain earlier. Let me make some ginger soup for you to stave off the chills,” said Bai Lingmiao as she stood up and headed to the kitchen.

However, at that moment, Li Huowang raised his hand and caught her wrist. “Miaomiao, can I ask you a question? What were the members of Bai family like in your eyes?” Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)

“My family? All of them were good. They all helped each other and never argued with each other,” said Bai Lingmiao matter-of-factly. Then, she suddenly asked, “Senior Li, why are you asking me this?”

“Was there anything weird going on with your family?” continued Li Huowang.

“No, but for some reason all my family members would enter the ancestral hall quite frequently. When I was younger, I wanted to take a look at what it looked like on the inside. Back then, I kept pestering my grandfather to let me see it, but he said that I can’t go inside because I’m a girl,” explained Bai Lingmiao.

As she spoke, Bai Lingmiao suddenly caught on to something and covered her mouth with her hands. “Senior Li, did you find them? Where are they? Are my parents still fine?”

Still sobbing, Bai Lingmiao finally stood up when it was night. She didn’t even look at Li Huowang as she headed for the exit.

Li Huowang stopped her again. “No, this is Cowheart Village, your home. The one who should leave is me.”

After that, Li Huowang didn’t say anything as he directly left. He didn’t even want to defend his actions.

“You already knew that your relationship with her would be over once you told her the truth. Why do you still do that?”

Li Huowang’s face was as still as a wooden doll as he ignored the illusions.

“Do you regret not telling her a white lie instead?”

“A lie is a lie! There’s nothing like a kind lie or an evil lie! I will take responsibility for my actions! I will not lie to her!” shouted Li Huowang, his sudden outburst scaring the others.

“Senior Li, why are you leaving when you just got back? Miaomiao is worried about you. At the very least, you should consider her feelings, right?” asked Chun Xiaoman.

“Take care of her. Live a stable life here. This world is too chaotic, and you all should just stay here and not move anywhere,” said Li Huowang before moving toward the exit.

As Li Huowang passed through the village, more and more people gathered around him. By the time he finally arrived at the entrance of the village, their entire group was gathered around him.

“Senior Li, where are you going? Should we follow you?” asked someone.

“Stand there! Don’t follow me!” shouted Li Huowang, causing all of them to be rooted in place.

Drenched in the still falling rain, he turned around. He looked at everyone before taking a deep breath and shouted, “Scram! Don’t come any closer! We are done sending everyone’s ashes back to their homes! Even the final words that all of them entrusted to me have been sent to their families! I’ve fulfilled all of the promises, so what else do you want me to do?! Do all of you see the wounds on my body? I’ve already done enough for all of you! I’m tired! Do you bunch of freaks want to drag me down for the rest of my entire life?!”

When he saw the pained expressions on all of their faces, Li Huowang turned around and ran away. He wasn’t sure whether his face was wet from the rain or due to his tears. He had already made his decision while on the way back to the village.

He couldn’t stay with them. The closer he was to them, the more afraid he was that he would burn all of them down like he did the Bai family.

A lunatic who didn’t know what he would do was fearsome enough, but a lunatic with supernatural powers was even worse.
