Chapter 766 - Woman

“Li Huowang?” A black motorbike rumbled and stopped beside him.

Li Huowang looked at the tattooed man, Ba Shengqing. He gave Li Huowang a bad impression due to his tattoos.

Even so, Li Huowang extended his hand for a handshake. It wouldn’t hurt to have another ally. “Nice to meet you.”

Ba Shengqing did not shake his hand and instead stared at Yang Na.

Li Huowang frowned and took a side step to block his gaze. “What did you talk to Qing Wanglai about just now?”

Ba Shengqing ignored Li Huowang’s question. “Were you involved in the recent events?”

Li Huowang naturally didn’t answer him since Ba Shengqing never answered him either. He just glared at Ba Shengqing.

“You shouldn’t get involved.” Ba Shengqing understood something from Li Huowang’s silence.

“Hoh. As if I could get away from this by ignoring them. They were the ones who attacked me first. You shouldn’t give me any advice if you don’t know my situation.”

Ba Shengqing flicked his wrist, and his motorbike roared to life. “Come. My sister wants to see you.”

“Your sister?” Li Huowang wasn’t sure what was happening. Who is his sister? Why does it seem that they know a lot about me?

But Ba Shengqing had no intention of answering him. He just revved his motorbike and sped away.

Li Huowang was still hesitating when Yang Na whispered, “Huowang, it’s best if we don’t go. He doesn’t seem like a good guy.”

“I know, but...” Li Huowang couldn’t tell her what he was thinking. Somehow, the gaze coming from Ba Shengqing was familiar to him.

“Let’s just go and see what’s happening. There’s no reason for me to be afraid of his motorbike if I can destroy an entire truck.” Li Huowang then followed Ba Shengqing with his rental bike.

But Li Huowang didn’t trust Ba Shengqing completely, either. He decided he would turn back and leave the moment Ba Shengqing rode towards a remote location.

Li Huowang was surprised to see Ba Shengqing riding towards a busy street instead of a remote place.

Li Huowang followed him to the second floor of a row of shops, where he saw Ba Shengqing entering a tattoo shop called Bloody Bonfire. His name was strange, and so was the name of the shop.

Li Huowang was hesitating about bringing Yang Na into a potentially dangerous place when she took out her phone.

“Huowang, I won’t stop you from entering. I will record from the outside and look out for you. The moment there’s anything wrong, I will call the police and inform Qing Wanglai.”

“Alright.” Feeling the knife on his back, Li Huowang relaxed a bit before entering the shop.

Ba Shengqing’s shop was the same as the other tattoo shops. It was decorated with photos of various tattoos.

The shop had numerous cubicles separated by black cloths. The sound of ominous buzzing came from some of them.

Ba Shengqing threw his motorbike keys onto the counter and entered one of the cubicles without waiting for Li Huowang.

The buzzing sound stopped for a moment before it resumed. A woman walked out from the cubicle with a cigarette in her mouth.

She looked just like Ba Shengqing, with her face and neck covered in tattoos of thorny vines. The difference was that her tattoo was on the left, while Ba Shengqing’s was on the right.

Her hair, however, was real. Her dyed grey hair covered the tattoo, which extended all the way to the top left part of her head.

She had piercings on her left eyelid, and both of her ears were heavily gilded with accessories. Her eye shadow and lips were black too.

She looked pretty in her getup.

Li Huowang noticed some similarities with Ba Shengqing and thought that she was most likely Ba Shengqing’s sister.

The two looked at each other and said nothing.

Li Huowang was certain that this was the first time they had met, but there was a familiar feeling coming from her too.

“Are you Ba Shengqing’s sister? You wanted to see me? Do you know me? Have we met before?”

She took her cigarettes with two of her fingers and exhaled the smoke onto Li Huowang. “Fuck. You talk like you are trying to sleep with me.”

The familiar feeling vanished. Li Huowang was disgusted by her mannerisms and tone.

“Why are you looking for me? I will take my leave if you have nothing to say.” Li Huowang had just turned around when she blocked his path.

But before she could say anything, Li Huowang already had his knife on her neck.

Sensing the cold metal, she became serious as she placed the cigarette in her mouth. She slowly pushed the knife out of her neck. “Don’t trust Qing Wanglai. He’s not a good guy.”

Li Huowang didn’t react to her words. He wasn’t someone stupid that would trust anyone that came to him. For now, Qing Wanglai had done nothing to harm him.

But he did notice that her tongue was forked like a snake.

Even though he knew he shouldn’t judge someone based on their looks, her appearance was far too off-putting for her to make a good impression.

“Thank you for your warning. Did you ask your brother to bring me here just for this? I will keep that in mind. Thank you.” Li Huowang sheathed his knife and turned to leave.

“One more thing. Qian Fu and Qing Wanglai are working together. Everything he’s doing is most likely an order from Qing Wanglai.”

Li Huowang was already at the door, with Yang Na waiting just outside of it. “And why are you telling me this? To stir up trouble between us?”

“Sit.” The woman tapped her cigarette on a table filled with drawings of tattoos before tossing the cigarette butt into an ashtray. She then lit up another.

“I’m sure Qing Wanglai probably told you something about projections and parallel worlds? Don’t trust him. He’s crazy.” She pointed at her temples.

“I don’t care if he’s crazy or not. It won’t stop me from working with him to fight my enemy. As for you siblings... You guys were just sitting here and doing nothing.” Li Huowang scoffed.

“Fuck. Who said we didn’t do anything? This is the first time you have met us. Do you think you know us well?”

Li Huowang turned around and saw that the woman had already placed both of her legs up on the table. “Don’t follow Qing Wanglai’s plans. He will lure you into a trap. Since everyone has a different perspective, you should walk your own path. It would be bad if you got together just for the sake of working together. You can deal with anything if you follow your own path.”

Li Huowang didn’t understand what she was talking about. He had the feeling that she was going to talk about her views.
