Looking at White Impermanence through the mist, Li Huowang's expression was grave. He was pondering how to negotiate with this entity when he abruptly snapped awake.
Just having awoken, Li Huowang instantly felt the presence of someone beside him.
Turning his head sharply, he saw a toddler who looked like he had just learned to walk.
Dressed in open-crotched pants, the child sat on the ground, curiously picking at the Copper Coins covering his face with his fingers.
Li Huowang looked around at the others who were still sleeping, then bent down to pick up the child, walked quickly for a few steps, and placed him in the arms of a woman.
He then stood up and quietly walked toward where Bai Sai was sleeping.
Before Li Huowang could get close, Bai Sai awoke. He gestured with his eyes to Li and then walked toward the surrounding forest.
