Chapter 701: Saving People
>>
> “Although we suffered heavy losses this time, overall we won. The Dharma Sect wanted to ambush us, but they ended up failing to steal the chicken and losing the rice lure—they threw in two dragon veins.”
>>
>
> Inside a simple bungalow, Xuanyin spoke to Li Huowang.
>>
>
> The voice of Great Liang’s Supervisor of the Heavens Xuanyin was filled with satisfaction. He continued with a hint of praise, “To enter a dragon’s belly and come out alive—that day when I first laid eyes on you, I knew you had great potential.”
>>
>
> “You’ve helped us tremendously. As long as we keep going, the Dharma Sect will soon be rooted out.”
>>
>
> Li Huowang ignored him as he sliced raw chunks of meat one cut at a time with a dagger and fed them into his abdomen to Li Sui.
>>
>
> After all the torment along the way with him, Sui Sui’s body had been severely injured too.
>>
>
> “But you need to watch out from now on. Now that you’ve made the Dharma Sect suffer such a huge loss, they’ll definitely remember you.”
>>
>
> Li Huowang hooked one of Li Sui’s tentacles with his finger before stuffing the tentacle back into his belly. “When I was inside the earth dragon’s belly, why didn’t you save me along with the others outside?”
>>
>
> “We dodged the earth dragon, but our foes didn’t just sit idly by. It was a chain stratagem—for those of us who didn’t fall for the first one, they naturally had other ambushes waiting.”
>>
>
> Li Huowang didn’t want to say anything more. He also didn’t want to keep guessing what the other man was thinking at this moment or whether his words were true or false.
>>
>
> Mountains you lean on will collapse, waters you rely on will flow away—even if it’s just one-sided, it’s still unreliable.
>>
>
> “I heard the White Lotus Saintess isn’t doing well??”
>>
>
> Hearing Xuanyin say this, Li Huowang’s expression turned extremely grim, and he stopped what he was doing. Miao Miao had survived, but she wasn’t doing well now—very, very badly.
>>
>
> Due to the loss of her skin and flesh, even with the Bai Family Immortals stepping in, they could only barely patch her up with the immortal family’s skin and flesh. She now looked far more like a beast than a person.
>>
>
> And even then, she was extremely weak at the moment and needed rest.
>>
>
> “He says he’s saving people? Who’s he saving?” Li Huowang suddenly spoke up, asking out of nowhere.
>>
>
> “Hmm, what did you say?” Xuanyin seemed not to grasp what Li Huowang meant.
>>
>
> “I said he’s saving people—who exactly is he saving?”
>>
>
> “Save me! Hurry up and save me!! Making me talk to this phone every day! Then asking this and that—what’s the point?!”
>>
>
> “Qian Fu, if you want to get out, you have to do exactly as I say.” Li Huowang stood outside the intensive care restraint room, staring very seriously at the man.
>>
>
> With that, he pulled out his phone again and hit the record button toward him.
>>
>
> But this situation didn’t last long. Qian Fu hadn’t spoken much before Li Huowang was shooed away by a nurse.
>>
>
> As Li Huowang walked out of Kangning Hospital, he quickly swiped through his phone, looking at all the recorded snippets of information. He felt it was time to meet Qian Fu’s family.
>>
>
> Li Huowang could clearly sense those people lurking in the shadows, biding their time for the right moment. Once the opportunity ripened, they’d pounce without hesitation. He couldn’t just sit around waiting.
>>
>
> Li Huowang had no idea what might happen if he kept waiting. For now, he needed to get Qian Fu out of the hospital first.
>>
>
> However, when he reached the Kangning Hospital entrance, Li Huowang eyed the police officer disguised as a driver and felt troubled.
>>
>
> Rescuing Qian Fu without blowing his cover wasn’t something he could just do on a whim—and right now, he was way too conspicuous. He needed a helper.
>>
>
> “Nana, I need your help.” Li Huowang turned to Yang Na, who was holding his arm.
>>
>
> “Are you trying to rescue that crazy uncle?” After sticking with Li Huowang for so long, Yang Na had clearly picked up on something.
>>
>
> “Huowang, I can help you with anything, but can I ask one question? Why do you want to save him?” Yang Na’s voice was soft and earnest as she looked at Li Huowang’s face.
>>
>
> Li Huowang hesitated for a moment but ultimately held back Qian Fu’s whole alien spiel—that would be far too outlandish.
>>
>
> “He knows some inside info—stuff about the attackers. I need to get him out. I can’t just sit around waiting!”
>>
>
> Yang Na looked extremely troubled at Li Huowang’s face, her expression hesitant to speak.
>>
>
> “I know he’s a mental patient, but he really does know something! Yang Na! Trust me! Everything I’m saying is true!” Li Huowang gripped both her hands tightly, staring very seriously into her delicate features.
>>
>
> After a brief moment of hesitation, Yang Na glanced first at the rideshare waiting at the hospital entrance, then spread her fingers to interlace them with Li Huowang’s. “Okay, so what do I need to do?”
>>
>
> Hearing that, Li Huowang let out a long breath. “It’s simple—no danger for you. Just take your phone to a certain place and find someone. Once you see her, video call me so I can talk to her.”
>>
>
> Li Huowang had already learned from Qian Fu that his daughter was the one paying his treatment fees at Kangning Hospital every month. If he wanted Qian Fu out, he needed to work through her.
>>
>
> “Okay.” Yang Na nodded in agreement. “Then we’ll split up—you head straight home, and I’ll go find the person.”
>>
>
> Once he saw Yang Na reach the bus stop beside Kangning Hospital and wave to him from the back car window, Li Huowang whipped out his phone and typed rapidly. “Turn on synced location and recording—don’t turn them off.”
>>
>
> Sure, delivering a message shouldn’t be dangerous, but Li Huowang figured it was better to play it safe.
>>
>
> Yang Na’s reply came quickly. “Got it—are you worried about me? *(ˊˋ*)*.”
>>
>
> For a while after that, Li Huowang waited anxiously, watching the little dot on his phone’s location tracker creep along.
>>
>
> Yang Na texted now and then too, updating him on the road. Compared to her usual self, she seemed more lively over the phone.
>>
>
> “Huowang brother, I’m on the subway now. (ˊˋ)”
>>
>
> “(`) Sigh, no seats—I have to stand. You’re treating me to ice cream when I get back.”
>>
>
> “() Huohuo, () Huohuo, off the subway now—transferring to the bus.”
>>
>
> Finally, after the interminable wait, just as Li Huowang got home, Yang Na’s video call came through.
>>
>
> He had just hit accept when Yang Na’s puzzled face filled the screen. “Huowang, you sure this is the place? It doesn’t feel right.”
>>
>
> “Hold your phone up high—let me see.”
>>
>
> As she raised the phone, Li Huowang took in the surroundings: cramped streets rising and falling unevenly, windows draped with laundry, yellowed walls, buildings of mismatched heights. This looked like an urban village.
>>
>
> Li Huowang had stayed at Kangning before—he knew it was a private hospital with steep fees. If Qian Fu’s daughter lived in a place like this, she shouldn’t be able to afford them.
