When Li Sui carried a water tank filled with soil into the house, Li Huowang used the blade to open the white wax on the box, and then pried it open along the edge.

A drop of silver liquid splashed onto Li Huowang's red robe, dripping onto the ground and condensing into a small silver water droplet.

"I never thought that the knowledge my teacher taught me would come in handy in this situation. Liquid mercury evaporates easily at room temperature. If I hadn't sealed it with wax before, it would have taken more effort to peel it off."

Li Huowang said as he began to take off his clothes, holding the box of mercury and walking towards the full tank of soil.

This was the first task given to him by Jilin. If he wanted to use it to deal with Dice, he had to do it well.

The Empress Dowager and the Princess, with such noble status, even if the Monitoring Bureau did not participate, they probably had some capable people around them.

If he really wanted to take action, he still needed to be cautious. The substitute magical instrument made of heart and skin was undoubtedly a powerful insurance.

Li Huowang stuffed the iron box in Li Sui's arms, then lay down in the large pit in the tank of soil. "Li Sui, it's been so many times, you should know what to do, right?"

"Yes, I do! I do!"

Li Sui's voice was excited as he used his sharp nails to scrape the center of Li Huowang's scalp.

"Dad, can I help you with this? Does that mean I'm very useful?"

Feeling the sharp nails splitting his scalp in half, Li Huowang nodded gently. "Yes, you are very useful."

Hearing this, Li Sui was very happy, and the black tentacles on her body spread out.

Dad rarely praised her, so she was very happy to be able to help her dad.

Just as he felt Li Sui's scalp being pulled open and was about to pour the mercury, Li Huowang suddenly spoke up. "Wait a minute."

After being buried deep in the tank of soil for a while, his voice became gentle as he spoke to the empty space in front of him. "Mom? Mom, are you there?"

"I might be a little noisy later, don't worry, I'm just... bungee jumping. Yes, I'm bungee jumping, a very long bungee jump, don't worry."

After comforting himself in a soft voice, Li Huowang turned to Li Sui and nodded. "Go ahead."

Although he had gone through this process several times, Li Huowang still couldn't adapt. He tried hard to endure without shouting, but in the end, he couldn't hold back.

After a long time, Li Huowang, who was almost fainting from the pain, lay on the ground panting heavily, watching the illusions in the distance gather together and discuss him.

Although he had been treated with the "Fire Coat Scripture" and was no longer in danger, the intense pain from head to toe made Li Huowang feel extremely tortured.

"It's too uncomfortable like this. If there's time, I should find a less painful way. If the physical torture continues for a long time, it will definitely affect my mental state."

"Dad, are you in pain? Should I not help you?" Li Sui's tentacles wrapped around the scabs on Li Huowang's body. "If it hurts, then I won't do it."

"Hehe, there are some things that you have to do even if it hurts. Help dad by touching it, if you touch it, dad won't feel pain."

Hearing this, Li Sui gently wrapped her tentacles, filled with mucus, around Li Huowang's body, feeling that one was not enough, she wrapped another one, and then another one.

Finally, Li Sui's body completely split apart and wrapped around Li Huowang's body like a piece of clothing. "Dad, do you still feel pain all over?"

"No, I don't feel pain anymore." Li Huowang gently comforted Li Sui, feeling a hint of weariness in his heart. He tore off a piece of red cloth from his robe and covered his eyes without eyelids.

In a daze, Li Huowang fell asleep. When he woke up the next day, he found himself carrying the water tank downstairs. "Li Sui?"

"Dad, did I wake you up? The water tank is not needed, I'm going to put it back."

"It's okay, I was supposed to get up early today, so I'm prepared in advance."

After helping the tentacles put the water tank back in place, Li Huowang went to the well in the courtyard and began to wash up out of habit.

But when he saw his reflection in the well, Li Huowang suddenly realized, did he still need to wash his face now?

Li Huowang silently stared at his reflection in the water, and as he watched the tentacles drilling in and out of his body, he suddenly had an idea.

"Li Sui, can you still drill into my body now?"

"Dad, didn't you say not to let me into your body? If you say that, I will eat you."

"Not the kind that can't come out once it's in, just maintain it briefly. Since Luo Jiao can use the Elemental Infant to enhance his own strength, why can't I?"

Facing an enemy with unknown strength, no matter how many preparations he made, it wouldn't be enough. Moreover, since Li Sui had cooperated with him before, having one more person in his body would add more strength.

"Oh, I'll try."As Li Huowang opened his mouth, Li Sui's tentacles continuously burrowed inside, and some of the steamed bun's delicate limbs followed suit.

The more they burrowed, the more Li Huowang felt a tearing sensation within his body. He could feel the tentacles writhing under his flesh, near his organs, an oddly disturbing sensation.

As for pain, Li Huowang could bear it, as his whole body was already in agony. It was just that now, he could hardly distinguish whether the pain was coming from the outside or the inside.

After it was over, Li Huowang looked down at his reflection in the well water.

His already horrifying flayed appearance had become even more terrifying with Li Sui's involvement.

Now, he resembled a fat man who had forcibly squeezed into a garment that wasn't meant for him—except in this case, he was the garment, and Li Sui was the fat man.

Moreover, every blood vessel exposed to the air on his body was now occupied by black tentacles,

His bloated, corpulent flesh hung with large swathes of black webbing. Even knowing that this creature was himself, Li Huowang felt a chill run down his spine.

Li Huowang tried to take a few steps and said to Li Sui, "There's no need to pile all the tentacles inside. Stretch some of the longer ones out."

The black tentacles, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, burst through Li Huowang's freshly coagulated scabs, writhing chaotically in all directions.

Although his body was still larger than before, it was at least not bloated to the point of hindering movement.

Li Huowang wielded the Purple Tassel Sword swiftly through the air, while Li Sui's tentacles entwined the Copper Coin Sword, holding talismans to assist on the side.

After all, the two had been together for so long, and now that they were back, they hadn't forgotten. Li Huowang found that this arrangement indeed worked.

Not only did it seem like he had an extra person by his side, but his own strength had increased, and he could also conceal his identity. It wasn't just others who wouldn't recognize him as Li Huowang; even he himself couldn't guess that this current appearance was his own.

"Dad, but we can't fit into your red clothes like this."

"If we can't wear them, then we can't. We're going out to kill, not to be so conspicuous that everyone knows who we are, right?"

Li Huowang found a dusty sheet, and with a few hasty slashes, fashioned a tattered cloak that he draped over himself.
