Chapter 629 - Death
Li Sui slowly raised her hand and mimicked the tattooed thug, giving him a slap.
The tattooed thug\'s lower jaw was dislocated, and his left cheek ballooned rapidly.
The tattooed thug held one of his cheeks in disbelief. Ni’er had not only gotten even stronger, but she could even fight back now!
“I\'ll kill you,” Li Sui said, slapping him again. The tattooed thug\'s head started buzzing at the slap.
The next moment, he snapped back to reality and held his dislocated jaw in place before running away.
Li Sui didn’t chase after the tattooed thug. She bent down and helped the old man up.
The old man ignored his wounds and looked at Li Sui. “Ni’er, are you alright? Is your face fine?”
Li Sui could now sense emotions, so she could sense the worry behind the old man’s voice.
However, Li Sui was confused upon hearing the old man\'s words. “Who’s Ni’er? My name is Li Sui, not Ni’er.”
“Nonono! You are Ni’er! You are my daughter!” The old man shook his head furiously and pulled Li Sui toward his home.
Li Sui looked down at her clothes and realized what was happening. The old man had mistaken her for his deceased daughter.
Li Sui wanted to explain, but for some reason, she felt like she wasn\'t supposed to explain anything.
Soon, they returned to the smithy part of the old man\'s house.
Li Sui sat near the furnace and stared at the old couple taking care of her.
She felt comfortable, but she didn’t know what to do. This place was indeed familiar to her.
As she stared at the talking couple, a scene flashed by Li Sui\'s mind. It was a scene from the memories of the late Ni’er!
Li Sui felt like she had become Ni’er.
As the hustle and bustle of the streets disappeared, Li Sui knew that it was about time for her to leave, or Li Huowang would be worried sick.
However, Li Sui was feeling conflicted. Something rose in her heart, and it tried to stop her from leaving, but she knew that she had to go.
After all, she was Li Sui, not Ni’er.
Li Sui put down the bowl of sugar water and said, “I\'m not Ni’er. Ni’er is dead. I\'m sorry.”
The elderly couple froze.
The old man frantically said, “Ni’er, don’t say such inauspicious words! Did you hit your head on the way here? I\'ll go and find a doctor for you!”
Realizing that the old couple still wouldn\'t believe her, Li Sui lifted her skirt, revealing a writhing mass of black tentacles and Li Sui\'s skinless dog skull.
The next moment, "Ni’er" parted open like a flower, revealing Li Sui’s true body.
Li Sui opened her mouth, revealing rows of sharp teeth to the couple. “I\'m not Ni’er. I\'m Li Sui. The real Ni’er is dead.”
The elderly couple seemed frozen and was staring at Li Sui in disbelief.
“What’s wrong?” Li Sui extended her tentacles to touch them. To her surprise, the two fell backward to the ground.
Just then, Li Sui suddenly felt like she had made a mistake, and a torrent of fear inundated her heart. It was an emotion that she didn\'t want to feel, as she couldn\'t accept that she had made a mistake so easily.
Li Sui\'s expression changed into a helpless one as she stood frozen before the fallen elderly couple. She had seen many corpses before, but she had never been afraid of them like she was tonight.
The fear in her heart forced her to move. She smashed the door open and ran toward the station where Li Huowang was located.
Before she could travel far, she saw Li Huowang waiting for her at a corner.
Li Sui was crying tears of blood as she hugged Li Huowang tightly. Then, she opened up a slit in Li Huowang’s abdomen and snuck inside. Afterward, she closed her eyes and refused to think or listen to anything.
Li Huowang said nothing. He pushed his hands slowly into his abdomen and patted Li Sui\'s head.
The emotionless Li Sui was no longer emotionless, and the fact made Li Huowang realize that she had truly matured.
“Come, let’s go back,” Li Huowang said. He turned around and walked toward the station.
After taking a few steps, he came to a halt and returned to the heart of the city. He had just remembered that he had something to do.
He followed a set of footprints and soon made his way to an old wooden house.
He kicked the wooden door open without even knocking.
“Fuck! Which bastard—” The tattooed thug exclaimed and slapped the table in fury. He was in the middle of applying medicine on himself, but Li Huowang\'s intrusion had interrupted him.
However, he dared not speak upon seeing Li Huowang\'s appearance.
Clanging noises echoed as Li Huowang revealed his bag of torture tools. “Choose one, or do you want me to choose for you? What’s wrong? You don\'t like these? That’s fine, too.”
Li Huowang put away his bag of torture tools and pounced on the tattooed thug.
The tattooed thug let out an agonized scream as Li Huowang bit his ear and tore it apart.
“How dare you bully my daughter, you fucking scoundrel! Die!”
***
When Li Huowang opened his eyes in the station, it was already the next morning. He groped around and noticed that Li Sui had emerged from his abdomen.
He turned around and saw Li Sui sitting like a dog, staring at the sky outside.
“Are you alright?” Li Huowang asked as he stood up. He washed up at the copper basin in the corner.
However, Li Sui ignored him, which was quite rare. She sat still like a statue in the corner of the room.
After placing the towel on the rack, Li Huowang walked up to Li Sui and stared at her face.
He picked off a scab from his body and shook it in front of her.
However, Li Sui didn\'t eat it.
Li Huowang then realized that last night\'s event had left a deep impression on Li Sui.
She was no longer the clueless Li Sui who had no idea that Li Huowang would die without a head.
Li Huowang sat on the chair and was about to say something to console her when he saw her looking at him.
“Father, don’t die, okay?”
“Hm?” Li Huowang had no idea what she was talking about, but he still nodded after seeing her determined face.
“All right. I promise you that I won’t die.”
Li Sui hugged Li Huowang tightly using her two paws and tentacles.
“Father. I think I finally know what death means. I don’t want you to die, and I don’t want Mother and Second Mother to die, too. I will do my best to protect everyone!” Li Sui exclaimed, sounding emotional.
“Don’t worry. We’ve been through a lot. I\'m not going to die so easily.”
Just then, Liu Zongyuan opened the door and entered.
However, he froze upon seeing that Li Huowang was wrapped in tentacles.
“What is it? Speak quickly.”
“It’s morning. Ji Xiang told us to move out now,” Liu Zongyuan said and immediately left the room.
Li Huowang\'s expression turned solemn as he squeezed himself out of Li Sui\'s embrace.
“Li Sui, follow me. We should be able to reach Yinling City by today!”
Li Sui hurried to follow him, but she also picked up the scab on the ground and ate it.
Her tentacles quivered and changed ever so slightly as she chewed on the scab.
