Chapter 955 - Spy
The women's offer did not make Li Huowang hesitate. He knew for a fact that she was a spy.
“The only thing I want from you is your death!”
Li Huowang stabbed his knife into the woman’s mouth, twisting it around until he cut off her tongue.
Yang Na was stumbling over at this point. She held Li Huowang’s hands, shocked by the bloody scene in front of her. “Li Huowang, what are you doing?”
“Trust me! She’s a spy! She’s Fu Shengtian’s spy! Nana, trust me!”
Li Huowang was howling at them at this point.
Yang Na was stunned by his outburst. She looked at the pitiful woman in a yellow skirt and then at Li Huowang. At that moment, something clicked in her mind.
“Li Huowang, I trust you, no matter what.”
Yang Na took out another knife and then slowly stabbed it into the woman’s chest.
Yang Na did not release her grip until the woman had breathed her last. She looked at her trembling, bloodied hands before smiling radiantly.
Yang Na’s actions surprised Li Huowang, but he quickly nodded. “Yes, you’re right. You are amazing, and we have won!”
“Yay!” Yang Na hugged Li Huowang and jumped happily. “I managed to help you! I’m the Heavenly Mater!”
Li Huowang let go of the corpse and patted Yang Na’s head to calm her down. “Let’s go. We’ve stopped Fu Shengtian’s attack. We can head back and talk in peace now.”
They walked towards the estate, and Li Huowang opened the door.
“Alright, the spy is dead. We can talk properly now,” Li Huowang said, still covered in blood and brain matter.
Zuoqiu Yong sat on a stone stool with his pink handkerchief in his mouth, deep in thought.
He had been fighting to the death just moments ago, but now it was as if he had changed entirely. They were still in Shangjing, but everything had been reversed. There was no chaos anywhere, and the people of Shangjing carried on with their daily routines.
There was no massive Siming in the city, and no one was affected by the Heavenly Dao of Growth. All traces of the information Fu Shengtian had leaked to Zuoqiu Yong had vanished.
Zuoqiu Yong nodded after some time. “Alright, let’s talk. I will first agree to your proposed truce. I will not trouble the Heavenly Mater before we deal with Fu Shengtian.”
Li Huowang wasn’t surprised by his proposal. Now that the spy was dead, every event that had occurred thanks to her intervention had been reverted, including Zuoqiu Yong's decision.
Li Huowang slowly said, “Another thing is that I’d never met that woman, even in the past few times I went back in time. She was the one who had been monitoring me ages ago when they were trying to kidnap me. She was a Siming from another elephant.
“I’d already expected them to retaliate since we killed some of their Simings, but I never thought they would send someone to create internal strife.
“Thankfully, I managed to stop them before any major problems occurred. If we had fought against each other, we would’ve fallen for the spy’s trap. A fight between Simings is not something simple.”
Zuoqiu Yong understood the situation after Li Huowang explained.
“I see. If there’s nothing else, I will go back. I’ll contact the other Simings to see what I can do. However, I need to make this clear—I cannot go to the Baiyu Capital. I can’t help at all if they are fighting up there.”
“I understand. Qing Wanglai was right, but I never thought that you siblings would actually trust my words.”
Li Huowang stood up to send Zuoqiu Yong away, but Shai Zi appeared from far away, slowly approaching them.
“That is…”
“He’s an ally and also has a lot of information. Let’s see what he has to say.”
Li Huowang’s words made Zuoqiu Yong stop.
Shai Zi bowed to Li Huowang before approaching Zuoqiu Yong to whisper something.
Before Shai Zi said a single word, a strange, iridescent black liquid erupted from his head, splashing onto Zuoqiu Yong's chest.
No one had anticipated Shai Zi’s betrayal. Neither Zuoqiu Yong nor Li Huowang reacted in time.
It was too late. The tar-like substance grew rapidly on Zuoqiu Yong’s body.
“Shai Zi, what are you doing?!” Li Huowang immediately chopped Zuoqiu Yong’s head off.
However, Zuoqiu Yong’s regenerated body still had the strange tar.
“What am I doing? Hehehe~ Didn’t I tell you that I would help the winner?”
Shai Zi quickly retreated as he said, “I was telling the truth—I think that Fu Shengtian will be the winner, hahaha!
“Hong Zhong, did you believe me? Did you actually believe that I was helping you?” Shai Zi held onto his stomach and laughed. “Hahaha! You actually believed me! Hahaha!”
Shai Zi raised his head, looking at the skies as he laughed.
“Ji Zai, did you really think I would care about that little offer? Too bad the other party’s offer is much better.”
Li Huowang shook with rage. He leaped up and grabbed the dice on the table.
He glared at the dice in his hands. “Shai Zi, I think you’ve misunderstood. I wasn’t trying to turn you into my ally—I was threatening you! If you don’t do as I say, I will kill you.”
Li Huowang threw the dice into his mouth and bit down forcefully, leaving teeth marks on the dice.
He bit down harder, shattering the die and releasing a silvery liquid.
