Mutated Tao

“Even though we lost a lot of men this time, we technically won. The Dharma Sect tried to ambush us but lost two Dragon Veins instead.”

Xuan Pin was talking to Li Huowang in a rather simple room.

The Liang Kingdom’s Surveillance Bureau Chief, Xuan Pin, was satisfied and praised Li Huowang. “Entering the Earth Dragon's stomach and emerging unscathed is a miraculous feat. I knew you were very strong when I first saw you. If you help us continuously like this, the Dharma Sect will be destroyed easily.”

Li Huowang ignored Xuan Pin as he shaved off his flesh to feed Li Sui. She had suffered grave injuries this time.

“But you have to be careful next time. Now that you’ve foiled the plans of the Dharma Sect, they won’t let you off so easily.”

Li Huowang twined Li Sui’s tentacles around his fingers before stuffing the tentacles back into his stomach. “Where were you and the others when we were trapped in the Earth Dragon’s stomach? Why didn’t you come and rescue us?”

“We managed to escape the Earth Dragon but didn’t have time to come rescue you. We were entrapped by the Dharma Sect when we made our escape.”

Li Huowang said nothing. He didn’t want to know whether Xuan Pin was lying or not.

He resolved not to rely on anyone.

Xuan Pin continued, “I’ve heard that… the Saintess of the White Lotus Sect was injured?”

Li Huowang frowned when Xuan Pin said that. Miaomiao was still alive, but her condition was bad.

Since most of her flesh had been bitten off, they had to use some flesh from the Immortal Family to replace hers, even after the White Immortal Family’s efforts to heal her. She now looked more like a beast than a human.

Even so, she was very weak right now and required a lot of rest.

“You say he’s saving some? Who is he saving?” Li Huowang suddenly said something random.

“Hm? What are you talking about?” Xuan Pin was confused.

“I’m asking who he’s saving.”

“Help! Save me! You need to get me out of here! What’s the point of asking me so many questions and recording our conversation?”

“Qian Fu, if you want to get out, you must follow my orders,” Li Huowang said firmly as he stood outside the room.

Li Huowang was using his phone to record his conversation with Qian Fu, but he was interrupted when a nurse came by and shooed him away.

Li Huowang checked his phone while walking out of the hospital. He stared at the recordings and decided that it was time to visit Qian Fu’s family.

Li Huowang knew that the organization was waiting to ambush him. They were biding for time, and he was confident they would not let him go when the opportunity arose. Li Huowang refused to be passive in this situation.

He couldn’t sit still without doing anything. He needed to rescue Qian Fu from the hospital now.

However, Li Huowang knew it would be a monumental task when he saw a police officer disguised as his driver. Due to his identity, it wouldn’t be easy to rescue Qian Fu on his own, so he needed a helper.

“Nana, I need your help,” Li Huowang whispered to Yang Na, who was beside him.

“Do you want to rescue the crazy guy from the hospital?” After spending so much time with him, Yang Na naturally knew what Li Huowang was thinking.

“Huowang, I can help you, but can I ask you a question first? Why do you want to get him out of the hospital?” Yang Na spoke softly as she looked at Li Huowang.

He hesitated. He was confident that Yang Na would faint from shock if he told her about Qian Fu and the aliens.

“He has insider information about the people assaulting me. I need to rescue him because I refuse to get ambushed by them!”

Yang Na wanted to say something, but she held back.

“I know he’s a patient, but he also knows about the organization! Yang Na, you have to trust me! I’m telling you the truth!” Li Huowang held her hands and stared at her beautiful face.

She hesitated. She looked at the car at the entrance of the hospital and clutched Li Huowang’s hands. “Then what should I do?”

Li Huowang sighed and said, “It’s simple. You don’t need to take risks. Just go to a certain place and find a certain someone. Once you meet her, just call me and let me talk to her.”

Li Huowang had learned from Qian Fu that his daughter was paying the monthly hospital fee. If he wanted to get Qian Fu out, he needed to stop the money.

“Alright.” Yang Na nodded. “Then let’s split up here. You head back first, and I’ll go find the person you’ve mentioned.”

Yang Na walked towards the bus stop. She waved her hands when she was on the bus and Li Huowang quickly messaged her. Turn on your GPS and voice recorder. Do not turn them off.

Even though finding someone in the city wasn't dangerous, Li Huowang decided to play it safe.

Yang Na replied to him shortly. Ok. Are you worried for my safety? （‘▽“）

Li Huowang checked his phone occasionally to check her location through the GPS. Yang Na also messaged him from time to time to update him on her whereabouts.

Huowang, I’m on the train now. ☆*:.o(≧▽≦)o.:*☆

?(?Д?)? Ah, there’s no place to sit, so I have to stand. You owe me an ice cream when we get back.

?(?▽?)? Huh?I just got off the train. I’m taking another bus now.

By the time Li Huowang reached his home, Yang Na finally video-called him

Li Huowang accepted the call and saw Yang Na’s confused face. “Huowang, are you sure this is the place? I feel like I came to the wrong place.”

“Show me the place using your camera.”

Yang Na raised her phone, and Li Huowang saw where she was. She was in the middle of a poorly maintained street. The buildings were close to each other, and the balconies were full of wet clothes that the residents had hung. The walls were yellow and the houses were uneven. It appeared that the place was a village in the middle of a city.

Li Huowang had stayed in Kangning Hospital before, so he knew that the fees were quite high. Qian Fu’s daughter shouldn’t be able to afford the costs if she lives there.
