Li Sui's appearance wasn't far off from how I'd imagined it, but the only difference was that she looked much more terrifying than I'd thought.
Her body wasn't very solid; some places were even hollowed out, so much that certain organs were exposed for all to see.
Mantou's body obviously wasn't enough to support Li Sui; where the bones had snapped, they were all wrapped up in black tendrils.
I know I shouldn't speak ill of my own daughter, but she really is scary now.
Li Sui's chest was still beating; with every throb, you could see, through the split in her flesh, a book wrapped in blood and tissue inside.
Li Huowang remembered: that was the Complete Collection of Talismans he'd given to Li Sui.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Li Sui didn't get why Li Huowang was staring at her like this.
"Nothing, just looking." Li Huowang straightened his hand and patted her on the head.
"Go ahead. Go find the kids and eat egg custard, and while you're at it, call a few people over for me."
