Bloody Kyoto

As darkness fell, torches were lit around the ruins of the inn. Zhao Moyan's men, suppressing their nausea, placed pieces of corpse in front of him.

After he looked at it, he put it in the storage area.

The next day, when the sun was high in the sky, all the body parts in the ruins were cleared out.

Zhao Moyan visibly breathed a sigh of relief; he had not found any heads that showed signs of disguise.

This indicates that Huo Lele is not here, meaning she is not dead.

As for why the ancestors' tracking techniques led them to this place, it's probably because she had stayed here before.

"Brother, these..." Wang Xiangqian bowed to Zhao Moyan, his gaze falling on the pile of corpses.

"You handle it!" Zhao Moyan understood what he meant and said directly.

Wang Xiangqian nodded, "Thank you for cleaning these out, brother."

He did not inquire about Zhao Moyan's identity, nor did he introduce himself.

Although he wasn't as timid as the adults, there were some things that couldn't be interfered with just because he was brave.

The person who can destroy an inn like that in an instant is definitely not an ordinary person.

He's probably the same kind of person as the one who made the vines.

Furthermore, anyone who dares to openly search for the body at this time must not be an ordinary person.

As a mere constable, he should just focus on doing his job well and avoid learning about things he shouldn't.

Li Nanle lay on the grass in the space for a full six days before his legs grew back.

Looking at my legs with their yin and yang colors, I couldn't help but laugh. This method might be a good idea if I want to get better skin next time.

The newly grown legs are just like peeled eggs, no exaggeration.

but……

It seems the recovery is a bit too slow.

Once during the apocalypse, Yunxia lost half of her body in an explosion, but she recovered in just half a day.

There are probably two reasons why things are so slow now.

1. The level of superpower is too low.

Second: The superpowers are incomplete; some of them remained in Zheng Jiaojiao's body.

We need to speed up the upgrade and reclaim the superpowers left with Zheng Jiaojiao so that we can be safer in the future.

After taking a shower and having a full meal, Li Nanle sat in the villa's courtyard, resting his chin on his hand in deep thought.

Yunze's wind-based superpowers are simply too powerful. If she were to encounter him now that she has returned to the capital, she would have no way to fight him except by hiding in her spatial dimension.

No, it wasn't that we encountered each other, but that we were found.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been suddenly attacked while she was at the inn; they must have found a way to locate her.

Thinking of something, she glanced outside the space. It was daytime, and the original site of the inn was now a red ruin.

That red... must be the blood of the people inside the inn.

She felt depressed. She had dragged them down, and she should avoid staying in crowded places in the future.

Unable to return to the capital, and unable to stay in crowded places, she had no choice but to hide in a secluded place.

Alternatively, one could stay in the space and level up their abilities to level ten before venturing out to confront Yunze head-on.

Thinking about her, her eyes turned cold.

It doesn't necessarily mean hiding in a secluded place or space; you can also hide in your enemy's house.

If Yunze were to launch another indiscriminate killing spree, then it would be a good opportunity to eliminate her enemies as well.

But which enemy's house should I hide at?

After a moment of contemplation, she smiled and, having made her choice, went to the palace.

The place is large, and so are the enemies.

After leaving the space under the cover of night, she headed straight for the capital, and for the first time regretted not having stocked up on electric vehicles and cars.

In this apocalyptic world, many plants have become sentient, and there is a plant overlord almost every few miles or tens of miles.

The roots of these overlords have destroyed all the roads, making it impossible to ride or drive cars.

She arrived in the capital at dawn and successfully blended into the city, finding a place to hide in her spatial dimension.

The reason it's described as "blending in" rather than openly using the identity of Li San Niang is because there's another Li San Niang in the steamed bun shop.

Once inside the space, she would practice her supernatural abilities and then come out to enter the palace at night.

The steamed bun shop was doing good business as always, but Friday's face was less smiling.

"Here you are, Aunt Liu, these two meat buns will cost you eight coins."

The old woman took the bun, gave him some coins, and looked at Zhou Wu, asking, "Little Wu, why don't your buns look as good as they used to?"

Xiaoxiao explained on Friday, "Because Aunt Li used to make all the steamed buns and mantou, but she hasn't been feeling well these days."

These steamed buns and mantou were made by Tiger and me. They may look a bit ugly, but that doesn't detract from their taste.

The old lady suddenly realized why Xiao Wuzi hadn't been smiling lately; he was worried about Boss Li!

Thinking of her kind heart, she asked, "Little Wu, what illness does Boss Li have? I know a doctor who is very skilled. Would you like me to introduce you?"

Before Friday could refuse, Xiao Huzi, who was adding firewood, spoke up first, "Aunt Liu, thank you. My second aunt's illness isn't physical, but psychological. Even if the doctor is highly skilled, it won't help. She has to figure it out herself."

He was really afraid that if his well-meaning neighbors called a doctor, he would be exposed.

What he didn't expect was that the kind person was too kind.

Upon hearing this, the people queuing to buy steamed buns all asked, "Little Tiger, what exactly is wrong with your second aunt? Tell us, and see if there's anything we can do to help."

"Yes! Yes! Tell us and we'll think of a solution."

"..."

On Friday, he looked at Xiaohuzi with a helpless expression and asked in his eyes, "How are we going to explain this now?"

Little Tiger chuckled to himself. He had just made up an excuse; why did he have to immediately cover it up?

"Speak quickly! Don't let Mr. Li be dragged down by his mental illness."

Little Tiger forced a smile and wiped his face with his charcoal-stained hands.

"My second aunt's daughter has gone missing."

It was just another lie.

"What! Your daughter is missing! You need to go find her right now!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

After the initial shock, I remembered that Mr. Li's daughter didn't seem to be in Beijing.

Where did Mr. Li's daughter go missing?

Xiao Huzi was sweating profusely, and could only continue making things up, but he had to make it even more far-fetched, lest it be too close and everyone would be too eager to inquire, and then find out that there was no such person.

"It was lost in a small village on the border of the Liao Dynasty."

"It's so far away, no wonder Mr. Li didn't go looking for it."

"But why did Aunt Li's daughter go there?" someone asked, posing a crucial question.

Little Tiger: "..." I still have to make this up.

"Because my second uncle was unreliable. When he was traveling as a merchant, he got drunk and betrothed my cousin to someone else at the dinner table."

"So my cousin got married there last year."

"Didn't your cousin's family look for someone?"

"After searching for a while and not finding it, I wrote to inform my second aunt."

Upon hearing this, everyone understood that Mr. Li's son-in-law had probably given up the search.

"Little Tiger, there's a huge difference between finding someone sooner rather than later when they've gone missing," an auntie said with a strange expression.

Little Tiger understood what she meant immediately, nodded, and suddenly had an idea to go with the flow.

"My second aunt plans to go look for him once she has recovered."

Little Tiger praised himself for his cleverness, knowing he would have an excuse if Miss Nanle had to go out for several days in the future.

After selling all the steamed buns and cleaning up, I said goodbye to Xiaohuzi and left on Friday.
