Wife, Answer Me

Late at night, Li Banfeng and Ma Wu hid in a cave, quietly watching the entrance.

Bagworm Moth Madam waited quietly outside the cave for the two to come out.

Bagworm Moth Madam could come in, but she didn't want to. She liked to play hide-and-seek with her prey for a while, even though she thought Li Banfeng and Ma Wu's hide-and-seek skills were very naive.

After hiding for a few minutes, Bagworm Moth Madam began releasing Insect Silk into the cave, Ma Wu completely broke down.

In fact, he had already broken down long ago.

He wasn't Travel Cultivator, so he didn't have that kind of stamina. Joy Cultivator was already physically weak, and after running all day without eating or drinking, Ma Wu couldn't stand up anymore.

The problem is that running like this will lead nowhere. Ma Wu read in a book that once you encounter Bagworm Moth Madam, there is no way to escape unless you meet her demands, unless your cultivation level is equal to or higher than hers.

How high is Bagworm Moth Madam's cultivation level?

She is almost at the eighth level, making her one of the most formidable outcasts in the new city.

If the Bagworm Moth Madam during the land reclamation process, it means the reclamation has failed, and they must flee in different directions. Whether anyone survives depends entirely on Bagworm Moth Madam's mood.

Dabo Ensi survived under Bagworm Moth Madam's control. Most of the time, Bagworm Moth Madam didn't like killing people; she liked to play with them. But whether you survived after being played by her was a matter of fate.

Since he couldn't get rid of her, Ma Wu had no choice but to follow the escape methods described in the book and satisfy Bagworm Moth Madam's demands.

But the question is, can he withstand Bagworm Moth Madam's demands?

Dabo Ensi can, but he can't.

Dabo Ensi is a body cultivator, possessing not only superb cultivation skills but also an extraordinary physique, qualities that Ma Wu cannot match.

Even so, Ma Wu decided to take a gamble, even if it meant his own demise, to give Li Banfeng a chance to escape.

"Brother Li, you should run! I'll fight her to the death!"

Li Banfeng looked at Ma Wu and asked, "What do you have to fight him with?"

Ma Wu said, "She just wants to have some fun, so I'll just play along. I'm Joy Cultivator; what haven't I experienced?"

Li Banfeng pointed at Bagworm Moth Madam: "You've experienced this kind too?"

"This kind... we don't have it..." Ma Wu gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Li, I owe you a life, consider it repayment. You'd better leave now!"

After saying that, Ma Wu rushed to the cave entrance and shouted, "If you want to play, then let's have some real fun!"

Bagworm Moth Madam laughed and said, "Call out the other one too, one isn't enough."

Ma Wu shouted, "It's just me, what more do you want?"

"Little brat, where does your anger come from?" Bagworm Moth Madam laughed loudly, flicking her antennae to entangle Ma Wu.

She might have some fun with Ma Wu, or she might just eat Ma Wu up.

She might also turn Ma Wu into her child, raising him slowly inside a cocoon.

But Li Banfeng had already seen the trend; no matter what she did to Ma Wu, she would never let Li Banfeng go.

Li Banfeng took out a Rust Pill and threw it at Bagworm Moth Madam.

Rust spread rapidly across Bagworm Moth Madam's body, Bagworm Moth Madam felt intense pain.

She ignored Ma Wu and turned to look at Li Banfeng.

While Ma Wu was still in shock, he heard Li Banfeng shout, "Run!"

Ma Wu didn't dare to delay and took off running.

If Bagworm Moth Madam wants to chase, Ma Wu won't be able to escape. Even with Li Banfeng delaying him, Ma Wu still won't get away.

But Bagworm Moth Madam didn't want to pursue it anymore; she was angry.

She ignored Ma Wu and fixed her gaze on Li Banfeng.

"You are very disobedient, I don't like children like you."

Li Banfeng kept staring at the rust on Bagworm Moth Madam's body.

In his view, this rust stain would surely cause harm to Bagworm Moth Madam.

At least it will allow Bagworm Moth Madam to shed a layer of skin.

But Bagworm Moth Madam did not molt; she didn't even shake off the rust on her body.

The fluid beneath her skin surged in waves, creating a whirlpool that completely swallowed the rust stain on her body.

Since Li Banfeng obtained the first Rust Pill on Bitter Mist Mountain, this powerful pill has been almost invincible. This is the first time that the Rust Pill has been almost completely ineffective against his opponent.

Bagworm Moth Madam stroked Li Banfeng's face with her two antennae and said calmly, "I can have your child, and I can make you my child."

I can turn you into one child, or I can turn you into three children.

I can cut you into a hundred pieces and turn you into a hundred children.

I can still bear children in your womb, let them grow by feeding on your flesh and blood, and make you their home.

Their home.

Li Banfeng thought of the bagworm cocoon.

It turns out that the cocoon was also made from a living creature.

The tentacles rubbed against Li Banfeng's face faster and faster, indicating that Bagworm Moth Madam's mood was getting worse.

"I think the last way out is best for you, because you are neither gentle nor lovely." As soon as she finished speaking, Bagworm Moth Madam crashed headfirst into the cave.

Li Banfeng retreated rapidly, opened the Portable Abode), and threw the key out.

Under these circumstances, returning to his Portable Abode to seek refuge was his only option.

As for how to get out, we'll have to find another way.

The door slammed shut, and Li Banfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

We've escaped this ordeal, but what should we do next?

If Bagworm Moth Madam leaves, that would be fine. But if she keeps blocking the door, how will Li Banfeng get out?

It would be even worse if she took the key away.

We must be prepared for a long-term refuge.

Let's check our belongings first.

There's plenty of food at home, including canned goods, compressed biscuits, and sausages...

Where did the sausage come from?

How can this sausage still move?

What is this?

These are tentacles!

The antennae of Bagworm Moth Madam.

She followed me in!

How did she get in? Did I not close the door properly?

Li Banfeng swung his Tang Blade, intending to sever the tentacles.

With a gentle flick of its tentacles, it sent Li Banfeng flying far away.

By the time Li Banfeng struggled to his feet, the door was already open.

A huge green caterpillar rushed into Portable Abode and filled the entire main room.

"Where is this place? Why is it so strange?" The room was too cramped, Bagworm Moth Madam couldn't turn around for a moment.

Hiss hiss hiss~

The record player woke up and cheerfully sang, "Husband, you're back from grocery shopping! You bought, you bought, what did you buy...?"

Bagworm Moth Madam turned around, looked around, and said, "This house is nice. I'll leave it for my children; it can accommodate many children."

Li Banfeng pulled out his Tang Blade and threw it at Bagworm Moth Madam.

Clang! The Tang Blade was drawn and slashed three times at the head of the moth, then returned to Li Banfeng's pocket.

The three slashes were all done, and Bagworm Moth Madam were not even breached.

There wasn't even a mark left on her head.

No wonder Tang Blade ran so fast; the gap between the two sides was quite large.

Li Banfeng pulled out the Blood-Containing Pendulum, intending to strike Bagworm Moth Madam, but the pendulum recoiled, crying out, "Master, no, spare my life!"

I dare not go up the pendulum; going up would be a waste of time.

Where's the teapot?

Is a teapot useful?

She has nowhere to hide in this little house; let's see if we can scald her to death!

Li Banfeng was looking for a teapot.

Whoosh~

A wisp of Insect Silk swarmed towards Li Banfeng, and in the cramped room, Li Banfeng didn't have much room to dodge.

Call!

A cloud of steam flew in and burned the Insect Silk to ashes.

The phonograph called out, "My lord, please wait in the outer room. Today's ingredients are a bit tricky; please let Little Slave handle them first."

Before Li Banfeng could speak, a cloud of steam pushed Li Banfeng into the outer room, and the door to the outer room was immediately closed tightly, sealed off by the steam.

Bagworm Moth Madam roared at the record player, "What are you?!"

Sizzle~

The record player scoffed, "You have quite the nerve. I'm so down on my luck that even a mere insect like you dares to talk to me like that."

Call!

The room was filled with scorching steam.

Bagworm Moth Madam opened her enormous mouth wide, straightened up, and swallowed all the steam in the room clean.

Squeak~

The record player emitted a high-pitched melody, and the steam inside Bagworm Moth Madam began to expand rapidly.

Bagworm Moth Madam roared and spat out Insect Silk, which tangled the record in the record player and blocked the speaker, preventing the record player from making a sound.

Two enormous mandibles pierced through the record player's chassis and embedded themselves into the record player's body.

A few minutes later, the fighting outside the door gradually subsided.

Li Banfeng rushed to the main hall and saw that Bagworm Moth Madam's body had shrunk considerably, curled up on the ground, motionless.

The record player was badly damaged and had stopped playing.

The front door panel was broken, the horn was deformed, and what worried Li Banfeng the most was that two gears had fallen out of the record player.

Li Banfeng panicked; he had never been so flustered before.

He stroked the record player, calling out again and again, "Wife, Wife, answer me..."

Waaah~

There is sound.

My Wife has a voice.

Although it was very faint, Li Banfeng could hear it.

He looked at the speaker of the record player and found it was blocked by Insect Silk.

The horn-shaped opening was scalding hot, but Li Banfeng ignored the pain and struggled to pull out the Insect Silk.

Squeak~ Squeak~

The horn was clear, but the record player could only produce a strange friction sound.

Inside the chassis, many gears were also stuck by the Insect Silk.

Li Banfeng brought over his tools and carefully cleaned the area. After more than an hour of work, the gears slowly began to turn.

Huff~ Huff~

Steam began to be released rhythmically.

"My Wife, answer me!" Li Banfeng looked at the record player anxiously.

"Hey, my love, what's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?" the record player responded.

P. S.: The record player is broken, Salad is heartbroken. Dear readers, if you feel sorry for Salad, please vote for her and say something to Salad.
