“It’s just being blind. I will find a way to change my eyeballs. If I can’t find a way, I will ask Li Huowang later on,” Bai Lingmiao said. “If I die one day, help me look after him. Don’t let him seek death like a damn girl. No, wait, I can’t die now. I need to give birth to a child for him. How many children do you think I should give birth to?”
There was a sudden commotion in the village, and Bai Lingmiao frowned. Then she took the Second Deity with her to find out what was going on.
They quickly found out what was happening. Puppy’s wife had given birth.
It was supposed to be happy news, but when the baby was brought out of the room, everyone stopped cheering and fell silent. Puppy was so stunned that he stood still like a rock.
Just like Puppy, there were white patches of various sizes on the baby's skin. The baby had the same condition!
Luo Juanhua looked around before approaching Puppy and carefully placed the baby in his arms.
She told them, “It’s a girl.”
Puppy’s face turned even paler, and he almost collapsed. “Why is it a girl? Why? How could she get married next time?”
Chun Xiaoman was on the verge of tears.
She hugged Bai Lingmiao and said in a trembling voice, “Those with conditions like us are not only ugly, but our children will inherit our conditions too. If we have children, we'll only continue on the chain of pain. I told Puppy that once, but he believed that he was different. Sigh.”
Hearing that, Bai Lingmiao’s pale face turned ashen.

Li Huowang walked up the steep mountain path until he reached the cave he usually cultivated in. The flat cave was now heavily distorted.
It was twisted in ways that were impossible, and there were many sculptures too. Some of them were of Yang Na, Sun Xiaoqin, and even Li Jiancheng. Li Huowang had made them while cultivating. He had done it unconsciously and by chance. He couldn’t replicate the results even if he cultivated again.
Li Huowang found a relatively flat piece of land in the cave and started cultivating while sitting down. He gathered his inner sight and slowly pushed the primordial breath to circulate around his seven chakra points.
After he worked hard on that for a while, the primordial breath finally started to move. He wanted to use this chance and do one cycle today.
Li Huowang started his cultivation fervently. He thought of nothing else except to move the primordial breath to the starting point. It was a slow process but the primordial breath was moving.
It was also a very dangerous process. Li Huowang had to focus on using his inner sight to move and cover the primordial breath at the same time. He accidentally let the primordial breath escape a number of times and let himself get strapped into the hospital bed in his hallucination.
Nevertheless, his hard work quickly paid off. Under his intense cultivation, he swiftly moved the primordial breath into the first chakra point, and a faint light emanated outwards from him. He suddenly felt his inner sight, which was covering the primordial breath, expand rapidly before being forced outwards through his limbs.
Li Huowang learned everything that the faint light touched, including the earthworms and the smaller bugs found inside the soil.
It was a mysterious feeling. In that instant, Li Huowang felt that he had numerous eyes. The eyes were both inside and outside him, and they merged together to form a sphere.
As long as he willed it, he could see everything in his vicinity.
However, the feeling came and went away quickly. When Li Huowang opened his eyes, his levitating ceased, and he fell towards the ground.
After landing safely, he looked around. He didn’t know why, but for some reason, he felt everything was subtly different even though his surroundings looked the same.
Then he picked up a stone and suddenly realized something. He closed his eyes and focused on it.
“This is an apple.”
It was not simply a sentence. Li Huowang wholeheartedly believed that he was holding an apple.
Veins bulged on his forehead, and there was an intense expression on his face. Even the hand holding the stone started to shake violently.
After a few moments, he opened his eyes and saw that he was holding an apple!
He excitedly bit into the apple and tasted its sweet and tangy juice!
As he ate more of it, more juices spilled into his mouth. But the taste of the juice gradually changed and was replaced with the taste of iron.
He opened his mouth and spat out blood along with bits of rocks that had cut into his mouth.
Li Huowang looked at the stone apple in his hand that was missing a chunk and told Zhuge Yuan, “Senior Zhuge, look. I’ve only cultivated for a few days, but I can do this already. One day, I will be able to resurrect you again.”
“Junior Li, don’t rush your cultivation. Take it easy. You should probably go back and rest now. You’ve been cultivating for four days straight. Your body might not be able to hold out.”
“What? It’s been that long?”
Li Huowang stood up and felt dizzy all of a sudden. Fortunately, Li Sui rushed in and held Li Huowang up with his tentacles.
“Send me back home. I want to rest a little,” Li Huowang said right before passing out.
The next time he woke up, he found himself lying in a bed. He woke up because he was actually choking on some water that Bai Lingmiao was trying to get him to drink.
Bai Lingmiao asked, “Are you awake? Are you hungry? I’ve brought some food for you.”
She had a sullen expression, but Li Huowang didn’t notice that. The only thing on his mind was to eat. He was so hungry that he could eat an entire horse.
Li Huowang sat up and ate voraciously. A bowl of plain rice was akin to an exquisite plate of food to him in his current state.
He quickly finished his rice and started eating the dishes.
Based on how fast Li Huowang was eating, Bai Lingmiao noticed that the food might not be enough for him, so she went back down to get more.
Li Huowang kept eating until he noticed the pair of red shoes in front of him.
He raised his head and looked at the Second Deity. “Is something wrong?”
“Senior Li, can you help us?”
Li Huowang munched on the vegetables and then swallowed. “Tell me what’s wrong. There’s no need to hold back.”
The Second Deity stood there with her fingers intertwined in hesitation.
Li Huowang picked up a lot of unsaid information just from observing that.
He asked, “Is this something you want to talk about alone? Did Miaomiao not agree to it? I know both of you share the same senses, but you can act on your own too. Tell me what’s wrong, and I will help you if I can.”
The Second Deity was still hesitating when the bright room suddenly turned dark.
“Hm?” Li Huowang uttered in surprise.
He stood up and went to the window. The skies were incredibly dark.
“Is it nighttime already?” he asked.
“No.” Zhuge Yuan wore a grave expression. “Junior Li, it's not nighttime. It’s still afternoon. This is one of the Natural Disasters, the Sun Devouring Heavenly Dog.”
