The cook, holding a red-hot iron skewer, looked at Chu Er and said, "That bearded man isn't Sufferance Cultivator at all. If he's not Sufferance Cultivator, why is he here at the Bitter Vegetable Manor?"

During their daytime fight, the person serving the food could tell that Li Banfeng's cultivation level was different. He didn't know Li Banfeng's purpose in coming to the Bitter Vegetable Manor, but the battle during the day had seriously affected his status in the Bitter Vegetable Manor.

Despite being just a food server, he cherished his position and wielded considerable power in the Bitter Vegetable Manor. In addition to serving food, he was also responsible for distributing grain.

"Just tell me his name, I just want to know his name." The person serving the food approached with an iron skewer, and Chu Er's body trembled continuously.

It would be a lie to say I'm not afraid.

Chu Er bit his lip, his eyes bloodshot, and shouted, "Come on! Come at me! Scald me here! Let's see if I'm afraid of you! If you don't dare to lay a hand on me, you're a bastard!"

The people around were stunned.

How could this woman be so crazy?

She was at the second level of Sufferance Cultivator, but if she really got burned...

I just asked her her name, why wouldn't she tell me?

Chu Er didn't understand Li Qi.

The only thing she knew was that Li Qi didn't want to be understood.

"Little girl, you've got guts. I've prepared over a dozen iron skewers; I'll slowly teach you a lesson."

Don't say I didn't warn you, if the household is taken care of, you won't be considered a woman anymore.

That's fine too. We shouldn't have so many distractions during our Sufferance Cultivator. If you're really that principled, don't you dare yell later!

Sizzle!

Chu Er didn't call out.

The food server called.

"Ah!!!"

He shouted very loudly.

The iron skewer the food vendor was holding was kicked by Li Banfeng, landing squarely on his face.

The red-hot iron rod burned from between his eyebrows to the corner of his mouth.

These people originally intended to ambush Li Banfeng, but when they saw Li Banfeng suddenly appear and even brand the person serving the food, the group of Sufferance Cultivator turned tail and ran away, all retreating back into the White Food Hall.

There was only one person left to get food, and Li Banfeng kicked him to the ground.

Li Banfeng, with one foot on the chest of the person serving food and the other holding an iron skewer, asked in a calm tone, "What did you just say about tidying up the gate? What is a gate?"

The voice serving food trembled slightly. "Portal, it's the portal..."

Chu Er spat and said, "The gate is something you possess."

"What's on your person?" Li Banfeng stared at the person getting food for a long time. "Where's your portal? Where is it?"

The person serving the food didn't know how to answer.

Chu Er whispered, "He doesn't have any connections..."

Li Banfeng didn't understand. "Didn't you say that a portal is a part of the body? Why doesn't he have one?"

"He's a man, and men don't have any status..." Chu Er's voice was even softer, so soft that he couldn't even hear himself.

"The man doesn't even have a door?"

I can't believe such a thing happened!

Li Banfeng was deeply shocked by this answer!

"No means no..." Chu Er didn't even know what he was saying.

"Really not?" Li Banfeng looked at the old man on the ground.

"No, really no!" The uncle shook his head frantically.

Li Banfeng raised the iron rod. "Then I'll open a door for you, how about that?"

Chu Er was terrified.

The person serving the food begged for mercy repeatedly.

Sizzle, smoke billowed up.

The cries of those getting their food were deafening.

The Bitter Granny watched from a distance without intervening.

She wouldn't care about anyone suffering as long as no one died.

Spiritual practice.

This is all Calculation Cultivator.

The gates were open, and the uncle serving food was still alive, sleeping peacefully.

Li Banfeng muttered to himself, "Should I start calling him 'Auntie' from now on?"

Chu Er, still hanging from the wooden stake, looked down at Li Banfeng: "Did you come to rescue me?"

Li Banfeng didn't know how to answer.

He didn't come to rescue Chu Er; he came to cause trouble at the White Food Hall.

But Chu Er had just stood her ground, preferring to ruin her own sect rather than reveal Li Banfeng's name, which changed Li Banfeng's impression of her somewhat.

Let's just lie to her this once.

"Yes." Li Banfeng looked at Chu Er and nodded seriously.

After saying that, he lowered the brim of his hat, turned and left.

Yes.

He came to save me.

This single word carries great weight for Chu Er.

There are still people in this world who care about her.

Watching Li Banfeng's departing figure, Chu Er said with tears in her eyes, "You came to save me, why didn't you put me down?"

Chu Er is still hanging there.

Li Banfeng rushed back and untied her from the tree stump.

I've forgotten, I've really forgotten.

As he untied the ropes, Li Banfeng didn't forget to ask, "Do you have any connections?"

"Yes," Chu Er answered softly.

"Really...?"

"Which woman doesn't have one!" Chu Er couldn't take it anymore.

Li Banfeng thought about the pendulum and earrings, then shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily true."

There should be Red Lotus and Wine Gourd.

Does the Wife to the computer case count as a door?

Chu Er wiped the blood from his face and said to Li Banfeng, "When we get back to Green Water City, I'll take you to a hospital to get checked out..."

"You rest here for a while, I'll go ask them to take a bath." Li Banfeng walked towards the White Food Hall.

He stroked the teapot and said in a low voice, "Brother, I don't need to tell you the water temperature, do I?"

"Brother, if you keep causing this trouble, Bitter Granny might not let you off the hook."

It would be best if she didn't spare me; she wouldn't kill me anyway. As long as she gets me out of the Bitter Vegetable Manor, anywhere will be better than here.

Li Banfeng jumped onto the roof, and soon after, wails of agony came from inside the house.

Bitter Granny, where have you gone?

Didn't you forbid the people in the village from taking baths?

I broke the rules and refused again, kick me out now!

That evening, Bitter Granny did not come.

The next day at dawn, when it was time for breakfast, everyone held their bowls and waited expectantly.

The uncle who used to serve food can no longer cook; he's now an auntie and is recovering from his injuries on a straw mat.

If he can't do it, Li Banfeng can do it himself.

Chu Er chopped firewood, Chu Er started a fire, Chu Er carried water, Chu Er washed rice, and Li Banfeng was in charge of controlling the fire.

This morning I had porridge, which was served with bitter greens as usual, but there was no sand in the porridge.

The White Food Hall has no shortage of food; at noon, everyone eats dry rice until they are full.

Evening was still porridge, but this time there was meat in it. Li Banfeng took out ten cans of meat and poured them into the porridge.

The meal was delicious, and for the first time, the Sufferance Cultivator, whose faces were usually pale and gloomy, showed a hint of redness on their faces.

The Bitter Granny stood outside the White Food Hall, her eyes trembling slightly.

Did you think I would let you go like this?

Let's see how long you can keep going crazy.

There are even crazier ones.

Late at night, Li Banfeng asked the Wine Gourd, "What is the strongest liquor in the world?"

"Young man, this is hard to say. How intense do you want it to be?"

"Could a pound of liquor get sixty people drunk?"

"Yes," the Wine Gourd answered confidently.

"Don't make the flavor too strong."

"I can make sure they can't taste the alcohol."

Li Banfeng laughed, "We'll have porridge again tomorrow morning."

The next morning, we ate porridge at the White Food Hall.

After finishing two bowls of porridge, a woman suddenly burst into tears. "If I hadn't been deceived by that man, I would never have come to this place."

This woman's name was Qian Jiafeng. She originally came from a good family, but like Yanzi, she was also deceived by a heartless man and became All Thoughts Reduced to Ashes, so she turned to Sufferance Cultivator.

A man sat down next to Qian Jiafeng and asked in a low voice, "What kind of person are you talking about?"

The man's name was Ou Haidong. In the Bitter Vegetable Manor, his residence was close to Qian Jiafeng's, and the two often looked out for each other. However, according to the rules of the Bitter Vegetable Manor, they did not inquire about each other's backgrounds, so he did not know much about Qian Jiafeng's past.

Qian Jiafeng sobbed, "He's the most shameless man in the world. He came to my house to be a tutor and, relying on his ability to write a couple of poems, he fooled me."

My father found out and kicked me out of the house. I still wanted to live with him, but he immediately found someone else.

Ou Haidong sighed and said, "Don't cry. It's not worth shedding tears for someone like that."

He wanted to hug Qian Jiafeng, but a middle-aged woman carrying a bowl of porridge sat down beside him and said, "If you ask me, none of these men are good; they're all heartless and ungrateful!"

After saying that, the woman tilted her head back and finished the whole bowl of porridge!

A middle-aged man nearby leaned over, blushing, and said, "That doesn't make sense. I'm just a pretty good man."

"Pah!" the middle-aged woman spat. "Stay away from me, I don't trust any of you guys!"

"I'm a man," the uncle serving food cried as he ate his porridge, "I really am a man!"

Another man chuckled and said, "They said you've got a place now, let me see it, I haven't seen it in ages."

The entire White Food Hall was filled with a cacophony of crying and laughter!

The Bitter Granny stood in front of the White Food Hall, her eyes twitching again.

Okay, let's see how long you can keep going crazy!

After three days of free meals, everyone went home.

That evening, Li Banfeng and Chu Er did not go home, but followed Qian Jiafeng to her residence.

Li Banfeng lowered his voice and asked, "Are you sure there's something between them?"

Chu Er nodded and said, "When I last came to the Bitter Vegetable Manor, those two were exchanging glances, but neither of them dared to say anything!"

Li Banfeng looked at Chu Er with disdain. "You've never been to school, have you? The window paper isn't something you just talk about; it's something you pierce through!"

Chu Er for a moment, then asked, "Do you mean the window or the door?"

The two waited a short while before Ou Haidong arrived.

Chu Er had anticipated his arrival. "Every time he finishes serving free food, he comes to Qian Jiafeng's house to help tidy up."

Li Banfeng looked at Chu Er: "Did you come to the Bitter Vegetable Manor to cultivate or to watch the excitement?"

Chu Er lowered his head and said, "It was unintentional..."

Chu Er in the Bitter Vegetable Manor and Chu Erzhen in Green Water City are two different people, and Li Banfeng doesn't know which one is her true nature.

Before long, the house was tidied up. Qian Jiafeng invited Ou Haidong to stay for a cup of tea. Ou Haidong was a gentleman, so he drank a cup of tea and got up to leave.

Qian Jiafeng saw her off at the door and suddenly saw a woman with a scarred face and a sinister expression standing there.

Qian Jiafeng was startled, and Qian Jiafeng Ou Haidong shielded her behind him.

"You're the girl who got beaten up before, right?" Ou Haidong recognized Chu Er. "We don't dare offend the people serving food. We can't help you, but we didn't hurt you either."

Chu Er looked at Ou Haidong, then at Qian Jiafeng: "Really, neither of you are there?"

Ou Haidong said solemnly, "I am an upright person, and I will never deny what I have done."

"Okay, I believe you." Chu Er turned and left.

Qian Jiafeng trembled for a long time before finally saying, "She, how could she be so scary?"

Ou Haidong said with a solemn expression, "This woman is quite pitiful, but she seems a bit crazy, so she might come back."

Qian Jiafeng held Ou Haidong's hand. "I'm scared."

Ou Haidong said, "Don't worry, I'll guard your door all night."

"At the door..."

Ou Haidong lowered his head and said, "I won't go into your room, don't worry."

He then stood guard at Qian Jiafeng's door for more than half an hour until Qian Jiafeng came out.

"How about we go get another cup of tea?"

"No," Ou Haidong took a deep breath, "You should get some rest."

"Just want a cup of tea..."

Ou Haidong thought for a moment and nodded, "That works too."

He drank another cup of tea.

This cup of tea is special; it contains alcohol, but he can't taste it.

This wine is good; it's an aphrodisiac and also enhances the mood.

The two drank a few more cups of tea, Ou Haidong suddenly touched Qian Jiafeng's cheek.

Qian Jiafeng grasped Ou Haidong's hand and pulled him into the inner room.

Li Banfeng and Chu Er leaned against the window, watching intently.

After watching for a while, Li Banfeng signaled to Chu Er that it was time to leave.

Chu Er didn't leave.

After watching for a while, Li Banfeng signaled that it was time to leave.

Chu Er's veins bulged as he watched, but he still didn't leave.

Li Banfeng pinched her peach, Chu Er winced in pain, but the pain was quite intense. Only then did she reluctantly leave.

Halfway there, Chu Er kept complaining, "I've been with you all night, and you won't even let me take a look?"

Do you know where that middle-aged woman lives?

"I know, but what's so interesting about her?"

"It's beautiful, you wouldn't understand..."

The two exchanged their experiences as they moved on to the next place.

The Bitter Granny watched them from behind.

Okay, I'll make you go crazy, let's see...

I can't watch anymore.

The Bitter Granny, unable to bear it any longer, gave Li Banfeng a good beating the next day.

Li Banfeng didn't care; he just considered it a chance to toughen up.

After enduring the ordeal of Li Banfeng, the Bitter Granny returned to her dwelling and began picking bitter herbs one by one.

After picking more than half of them, I heard Li Banfeng's hearty laughter again.

"Hahaha! This place is pretty good!"

What is this madman going to do now?

The Bitter Granny threw the bitter herbs into the basket and gritted her teeth.

P. S.: Bitter Vegetable Manor is turning into the Happy Manor.
