Hearing the shout, Li Weizhou didn't even turn his face. He just scoffed, lowered his head and continued turning the roast chicken in his hand, saying in a flat tone, "Si Lang, how did you end up like this? The family was counting on you to rise to prominence and rise to the top along with them. You've really made something of yourself, almost rising to the top yourself."

Li Changning ignored this nonsense, rubbed his eyes again, and asked in disbelief, "Third Brother, you... how did you get here?"

He looked around as he spoke, and finally fixed his gaze on the fire.

The roast chicken smells better and better...

The underworld shouldn't have this, right?
Li Weizhou cautioned, "Let's not talk about catching up for now. Your companion's injuries haven't been treated yet. There's a difference between men and women, so it's not appropriate for me to do this. You'll have to figure it out yourself."

As she spoke, she tossed him the porcelain bottle containing Yunnan Baiyao.

Li Changning was still in a daze, but he subconsciously accepted the words. Only then did he remember his companion next to him. He quickly endured the pain all over his body and looked at his companion who was looking at him pitifully with his eyes open.

Li Weizhou, not wanting to get in the way, placed the roasted chicken aside, got up, and went to the main road a few feet away, looking up at the starry sky.

It wasn't for show; he genuinely felt better than ever before!
A warm current flowed down from the void... or rather, from somewhere in his mind, evenly nourishing his entire body.

It wasn't an illusion; he could truly feel the warmth flowing through his body, which felt incredibly comfortable.

Li Weizhou had a vague feeling that he might have encountered a miraculous event, and an extraordinary one at that...

What exactly is that bloodshot eyeball?
Was it by using this that that demonic cultist was able to beat the Fourth Prince and his Imperial Executioners half to death?

But that last desperate voice didn't sound like the villain's voice; it was clearly much older. Could it be the legendary old man?
Of course, whoever it was, it was completely dead.

But Li Weizhou always felt that, in the end, that bloodshot eye still pierced into his body...

The extreme thirst for blood must be caused by that bloodshot eye, right?

What are these warm currents?
Is it derived from pig's blood?

They're all mysteries...

But for now, it's not a bad thing, at least not for him.

I originally thought I could only be a god of wealth who could move mountains, but now, well, who knows...

The question remains: what exactly is the purpose of this warm current?

I really want to go back and try it right now...

"what!"

A girl's voice filled with pain came from behind, followed by Li Changning's voice: "Third Brother, come here."

Upon hearing this, Li Weizhou was not in a hurry. After a while, he walked over unhurriedly, crossed his arms in front of him, looked at the two men who had been neatly bandaged and bound, and smiled, "Si Lang, it's been a few years. How have you been?"

Li Changning still felt like he was dreaming, staring blankly at Li Weizhou, still unable to understand: "Third Brother, what are you doing here?"

Judging from his aura and gait, Li Weizhou doesn't seem like a master who has returned to simplicity.

They certainly pull off the air of composure quite well...

Li Weizhou didn't hide anything and said, "I opened a restaurant and was buying some spices on my way back when an old man stole my horse. When I chased after him, he was fighting with a ghost-like person. The villain seemed to be injured and ran away, but the old man actually stole my horse to chase after him! I just wanted to see if I had left any spices behind... Look, these are the spices sprinkled on the roast meat."

Li Changning seemed to be in a daze for a while before he finally came to his senses and asked, "Then you saved people..."

Li Weizhou laughed and said, "I saw two unlucky guys being held down by horses, so I just helped them out. At first, it was so dark that I didn't even recognize you. If you hadn't introduced yourself as Li Changning, I would have gone straight home. How could a commoner like me dare to get involved in something like this?"

Li Changning let out a sigh of relief, but his eyes remained fixed on Li Weizhou. His tone changed, and he said angrily, "Are you so short of money that you run out to buy spices in the middle of the night? What if something happens? You were lucky this time, but what if... Have you forgotten about your second uncle and aunt?!" His voice grew louder and his anger grew.

When it comes to sophistry, Li Weizhou is far better than this kid. He said without changing his expression, "This is my first time out here. If you don't believe me, go ask my uncle and the others. I don't even leave the county town normally. It's strange, I don't know why, but I just felt uneasy and felt that I should make this trip. Fourth brother, do you think it might be my mother who made me do this? Otherwise, it doesn't make sense... I think so, because she has always liked you the most."

Upon hearing this, Li Changning was struck dumb. His usually cold and aloof demeanor crumbled, his eyes instantly reddening and tears streaming down his face.

Li Weizhou was secretly overjoyed: Haha, you think you can teach me a lesson?

Now I have something to say when I get home. I'm such a genius!
As his mood improved, he looked at the somewhat flustered girl who was trying to comfort Li Changning and asked lightly, "Fourth brother, this is... your sister-in-law, right? You're really riding high. But are you a little dim-witted? How could you bring your sister-in-law out to do such a dangerous thing? Don't be arrogant and conceited, it will make you stupid and harm yourself and others. If something happens to them, what will happen to the children?"

Then, the two of them were instantly thrown into disarray. Li Changning forgot his sadness, but the woman was clearly shy and surprised.

Li Changning was on the verge of collapse, saying, "Third Brother! What nonsense are you talking about?! This is my colleague from the Imperial Execution Department! You're simply..."

The woman stopped watching and said, "Third Brother, thank you for saving me and Aning. My name is Zhao Yuanzhi, and I'm Aning's good friend." Her tone was serious and deliberate, but it was clear that she was in a good mood.

Li Changning calmed down and added, "She is Princess Yi'an of the Qi Prince's Mansion," reminding his third brother not to talk nonsense.

Li Weizhou said "Oh," his eyes widening as he carefully examined Zhao Yuanzhi, saying, "This is the first time I've ever seen a real princess!"

It is quite nice.

Undeterred, Zhao Yuanzhi glanced at Li Changning, who had regained his cold demeanor, and then smiled at Li Weizhou, saying, "You're not quite what I expected... Aning mentioned you. You look just like him, even more so than my eldest and second eldest brothers."

Li Weizhou exclaimed in surprise, "You've even met your parents?"

Zhao Yuanzhi was also starting to feel the effects; her pretty face flushed red with barely concealed joy, it seemed she was truly in love with the fourth prince…

In fact, Zhao Yuanzhi also found it amusing. Knowing her identity, she was still so brazen; she had never seen such a person in the capital.

Li Changning let out a long sigh and said in a muffled voice, "A few colleagues accompanied me home, and we stopped by to see my parents. We didn't even have time to drink a cup of tea. Third Brother, please stop talking nonsense!"

Li Weizhou laughed and said, "You're about to die, and you still want the girl to go first... Alright, alright, I won't say anything more." Seeing that Li Changning was getting impatient, Li Weizhou stopped there.

Zhao Yuanzhi even apologized for Li Changning's unfriendly tone: "He only talks to you like that. He barely speaks to anyone else all day. He doesn't talk much to his master either. He just likes to practice swordsmanship."

Li Weizhou took the roasted chicken out of the oven, heated it over the fire a little longer, then tore it in half, handing one half to the aloof young man Li Changning and the other half to Princess Qi, Zhao Yuanzhi.

It's clear that Zhao Yuanzhi is still somewhat naive; despite suffering serious injuries, she still has the mind to chat.

After taking the roast chicken and taking a bite, he looked at Li Weizhou and praised, "It's really delicious!"

Li Weizhou smiled and said, "Eat quickly, you'll have the strength to run away if you're full. If some villains come later, at least you two will have some ability to fight back."

These words reminded Li Changning, who hadn't had much of an appetite to begin with. He tore off a piece of chicken leg and said in a muffled voice, "I'll take you home after I finish eating."

Li Weizhou chuckled and said, "It seems the Imperial Execution Division really does have a lot of power, even overseeing your brother. Where are your teammates... um, your other colleagues? Why are only the two of you chasing after the criminal?"

Li Changning paused in his eating, said nothing, and continued eating. But his pace slowed considerably, and he seemed to be eating heavily.

Zhao Yuanzhi could no longer laugh. She said in a low voice, "They all died in battle... We were ordered to capture Ye Yun, a disciple of Shangqing Palace who had fallen into the demonic path. But no one expected that a third-generation disciple would be so strong... There was something strange about him. He was mentally unstable, like a madman, and he even drank people's blood. But his martial arts were superb, and he was unkillable. Senior Brother Wang and the others..." She sobbed softly.

Li Changning suddenly asked, "What did that old man look like, Third Brother? Did you see him clearly?"

Li Weizhou shook his head and said, "I couldn't see clearly, but he had a white beard and his moves were swift. That villain was no match for him at all; he slapped him away with one hand. He seemed to be cursing something about a traitor... I think that villain was no match for him at all, but I don't know why he was so resilient; he was being beaten and sent flying around without dying."

Upon hearing this, Li Changning's face grew more serious, and he slowly said, "It should be the elders of Shangqing Palace. They are the ones who want to silence him the most right now. Ye Yun was originally a direct disciple of Shangqing Palace, but for some reason, he suddenly fell into the demonic path, cultivating evil arts and sucking the blood of several villages, sparing neither the old, weak, women, nor children. The evil arts he practiced made him immune to injury. It is said that when the Blood Demon Art is mastered, one can become immortal and become a blood demon. However, at that time, he would not even be considered human. As long as he doesn't drink enough blood, he will lose his mind and become a blood-sucking beast."

Now it was Li Weizhou's turn to look grim. He remembered how he had lost his mind and consumed twenty bags of blood plasma...

Damn, I can't be that unlucky, can I?
If one loses their reason, what use is it to be the world's most immortal?

After a moment of grief, Li Weizhou realized what his little brother had said earlier.

Would someone lose their mind if they didn't drink enough blood?

Ha ha.

Li Weizhou made up his mind to go back and buy hundreds or thousands of barrels of blood to see just how much it could drink!

Damn it, we'll drink until that bloodshot-eyed guy vomits blood!
