"Ssshhhh~" A large tongue licked Li Huowang's reddened cheek, tearing off a large patch of his newly grown skin.
The severe pain, akin to being brushed with steel wool, forced Li Huowang to open his eyes again.
Li Huowang looked around blankly, realizing he was still in the dead town, though there seemed to be more collapsed houses.
It seemed that a lot had happened after he had passed out yesterday.
Now that it was broad daylight, judging by the sun's westerly position, it looked like he had been lying here for a day.
"Mmm~" Mantou kept barking around Li Huowang, looking like he wanted to approach but also afraid to do so.
Only then did Li Huowang belatedly notice the abnormality of his body.
Considering how he had been burned from the inside out by flames last night, logically, he should have been dead beyond dead.
Yet, now he was very much alive, the charred shell had peeled off, and his body was covered with a thin layer of skin.
