Three-Way Slaughter

Li Banfeng and He Yuxiu jumped off the train halfway and returned to Green Water Bay. Instead of going to Green Water City, they found a place to stay in Tai Ming Town.

He Yuxiu greatly admired Li Banfeng: "Seventh Brother, where did you hide yourself in the car? How come I couldn't find you?"

Li Banfeng said, "This mainly depends on one's state of mind. When one's state of mind is right, one can become one with all things in the world."

He Yuxiu looked at herself. "Don't I count as having become one with you?"

She was as black as coal.

The key point isn't about one's state of mind, but rather that Li Banfeng spends most of his time at his Portable Abode, so He Yuxiu naturally can't find him.

After washing off the coal dust, the two changed into new clothes, Li Banfeng pondered He Yuxiu's whereabouts.

The Guanfang Envoy won't give up anytime soon, He Yuxiu will have to hide for a while longer.

The He Family owns a lot of new land near Green Water Bay, but these new lands have been developed to a certain extent, and the Land Block are crowded with people and eyes, making it difficult to hide.

Let alone the He Family's Land Block, He Yuxiu's situation makes it unsuitable for her to go to Decency Village.

Li Banfeng did think of a suitable place: Meng Yuchun's territory.

That place is remote enough. Li Banfeng owns Land Block three miles away there. He let He Yuxiu stay there first, and ordinary people can't find it.

Moreover, that area not only includes Meng Yuchun's territory but also Li Banfeng's own territory. So much time has passed; he should go back and take a look.

Thinking of that place, Li Banfeng felt genuinely proud of himself. He was the Local Earth God there, and that was his foundation after he went to Yunshang...

Thump!

Overwhelmed with excitement, Li Banfeng clutched his chest and collapsed to the ground.

He Yuxiu was terrified. "Seventh Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Li Banfeng waved his hand, telling He Yuxiu to rest at the inn first, and he went back to his room and entered Portable Abode.

Seeing Li Banfeng's deathly pale face, the record player used steam to support him. "Hey, husband, what happened?"

"My heart suddenly started pounding, it felt like it was going to jump out of my chest." Li Banfeng pointed to his chest, and seemed to feel better after returning to Portable Abode.

The record player pondered for a moment and said, "This is palpitations. Is something troubling you, my lord?"

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "There's nothing bothering me, I just remembered my own Land Block."

"The Land Block..."

Huff~

The record player played a slow melody. "My dear husband, since you've become the Local Earth God, it's only natural that you have a connection with your own Land Block. But what has happened on this Land Block that makes my heart pound?"

What happened?

Could it be that people from the Inner State have arrived?

Has my impersonation of the Mountain Pulling Master been exposed?

Li Banfeng felt a surge of tension, but once his heart calmed down, he returned to the inn and drew a map for He Yuxiu, telling her to find Meng Yuchun's territory herself.

He Yuxiu had also ventured into the new land, nodded and said, "Don't worry about me, Seventh Brother, just be careful."

Li Banfeng ran swiftly to his Land Block, and when he arrived, he found that Meng Yuchun was also very anxious.

"You're finally back. Someone's clearing the land; how should we handle this?"

"What's so difficult about clearing land? It's not like this is your first time."

Meng Yuchun shook his head and said, "It's not that we're clearing land here, it's on your territory."

"On my territory?" Li Banfeng was speechless with surprise.

Meng Yuchun said, "Two people set up an offering table on your territory. I originally thought that if you didn't respond, they would leave on their own."

Unexpectedly, these two girls stuck with it, waiting there for several days without leaving.

Whose daughter is this, so stubborn?

Li Banfeng ran to the edge of the field and quickly found a girl in the jungle.

The girl was bending over to gather firewood, and in the hazy night, two full and round breasts came into view.

Li Banfeng smiled slightly and said, "Peach!"

You Tao turned around abruptly and nearly attacked Li Banfeng.

As they got closer and could see a little better, You Tao exclaimed with delight, "Brother Bai Sha, what are you doing in this wretched place?"

Unexpectedly, after a year apart in Ma Bamboo Village, the two of them met again in this place.

"Is this place... dilapidated?" Li Banfeng looked around and asked, "I came here to hunt, what are you doing here?"

You Tao lowered her head slightly and said, "I'm here to hunt too."

She had traveled the world and lying was commonplace for her, but for some reason, she became somewhat flustered when she met Li Baisha.

Li Banfeng said expressionlessly, "You came all the way from Ma Bamboo Village to hunt here?"

You Tao explained, "Actually, this isn't too far from Ma Bamboo Village."

It's not too far.

It depends on how you calculate it.

If we take the new route, it's not too far at Li Banfeng's speed.

But You Tao aren't for Travel Cultivator; they're for Joy Cultivator.

Besides, how would she know the route to New Territories?

Li Banfeng nodded and said, "Hunting is easy. I'm familiar with this place. Come with me, I know where there are good things."

You Tao shook her head and said, "No need, I've already had a good harvest this time, I can't carry any more."

Li Banfeng took out his wallet and said, "Since you can't carry it, give it to me. I have plenty of manpower, and I'll pay the market price."

"That won't do, that would put you at a disadvantage..."

"I won't lose out. I have connections to get rid of them. Let's see what kind of prey I'm after."

"No need, really..." You Tao's voice trailed off; she had no prey at all.

"We haven't seen each other for a year, and we've become estranged. You won't even tell me the truth." Li Banfeng lowered the brim of his hat and turned to leave.

After holding back for a long time, You Tao finally called out, "Brother Bai Sha, I... I'm here to reclaim the wasteland."

Li Banfeng stopped and asked, "Why did we come here to reclaim this wasteland?"

"Because other places won't do, only this place can accommodate us."

Li Banfeng was stunned for a long time.

Is my place that special?

Li Banfeng walked back to You Tao and said in a calm tone, "You Tao, we are friends. If you want me to help you, you have to tell me the truth."

After a moment's thought, You Tao said, "I'll take you to see someone."

Deep in the forest, there was a tent where a slender woman was cooking several fruits the size of two fists.

This is a local specialty of Meng Yuchun's area, and one of the few things about her land that can attract people.

The water used to boil the fruit was taken from Meng Yuchun's land, where there were Land Block that had been cleared out, and the Land Block would not refuse a pretty girl like You Tao.

Judging from the steam coming out of the pot, these two fruits should taste like taro; they'll be ready to eat once they're cooked.

The You Tao called out to the woman, "Xiao Feng!"

Just as the slender woman was about to agree, she saw Li Banfeng arrive and quickly hid inside the tent.

Li Banfeng asked, "Is this your companion?"

You Tao nodded. "You've seen him in Ma Bamboo Village."

You Tao was mistaken. Li Banfeng had never met her before. This House Cultivator named Xiao Feng was very unfriendly to Li Banfeng and even had a dispute with You Tao over Li Banfeng's affairs.

Now that the You Tao has brought Xiao Feng to a new place, Li Banfeng is very confused.

Why would a House Cultivator like her go to such a far place?

Xiao Feng You Tao to come out. Left with no other option, she recounted the incident to Li Banfeng from outside the tent:

"Xiao Feng, A Xia, and I lived together in Ma Bamboo Village. During those few days, perhaps because of the pills I took, I really wanted to get closer to Xiao Feng, and I accidentally neglected A Xia, and then..."

"You're still protecting her!" Xiao Feng came out of the tent. "We weren't originally going to bring her, but she insisted on coming along. Tao'er needed someone to take care of her those two days, while A Xia was only concerned with her own enjoyment. Tao'er didn't want to deal with her, is that wrong?"

Li Banfeng listened for a long time, unsure of the key point, yet feeling that the key point was everywhere.

"Well, let's put aside right and wrong for now. Who is this A Xia you're talking about?"

You Tao kept her head down and didn't speak; she seemed to have more than one companion.

After hesitating for a while, Xiao Feng finally spoke, "It's my Home Spirit."

Li Banfeng pondered for a moment, then roared, "Is this how you use the Home Spirit?"

Xiao Feng shuddered and quickly hid behind the You Tao.

You Tao stared at Li Banfeng in astonishment, not knowing what was making him angry.

Li Banfeng calmed his tone and asked, "And then you escaped?"

You Tao said, "We have no choice but to escape; A Xia is going to make a move against Xiao Feng."

Li Banfeng remained silent for a long time.

He had heard of cases of Home Spirit killing their owners, but he never imagined that such a case would occur.

A female Home Spirit, for the sake of female Joy Cultivator, wants to kill the female House Cultivator.

How did these three women manage to get things to this point?

Is there some misunderstanding here?

Li Banfeng asked Xiao Feng, "You said Home Spirit wanted to kill you. Did she leave any clues, or did she just say it outright?"

Xiao Feng, hiding behind You Tao, said, "I calculated it."

"Still trying to predict the future!" Upon hearing this, Li Banfeng became angry and started urging Jiang Xiang Gang and his group of fortune tellers.

You Tao explained, "This is Xiao Feng's technique. She can tell fortunes, and she's very accurate. A Xia will definitely make a move against her."

Xiao Feng tugged at You Tao's clothes, signaling her not to say too much.

Li Banfeng was also very curious: how could House Cultivator have the skills of fortune telling?

After thinking for a moment, I remembered.

Li Banfeng's first-level techniques Golden Eyes Autumn Down and Hundred Flavors Exquisite, were both given to him by his Wife, and it is estimated that these techniques were also given to her by the Home Spirit.

You Tao said, "Xiao Feng was right. That night, the east wall of the bamboo house collapsed. It was because the house wanted to protect Xiao Feng and fought with the Home Spirit."

The Home Spirit directly confronted the house head-on, something Luo Yuni didn't have back then.

Of course, we cannot rule out another factor: Luo Yuni's house was more luxurious than Xiao Feng's bamboo house.

You Tao said, "The house has already been beaten into submission. If we don't leave now, Xiao Feng will definitely be dead."

"So you abandoned the Home Spirit and ran away?"

You Tao felt a little ashamed. "Xiao Feng did it all for me."

Xiao Feng sobbed and said, "She wanted to kill me, but you stayed by my side and took care of me."

"This whole thing started because of me. If it weren't for me, A Xia, I wouldn't have been able to guide you in your cultivation."

"Without you, what's the point of my cultivation? I don't want anything anymore."

Li Banfeng stared silently at the two men with a sullen face.

The two wiped away each other's tears and temporarily put aside their tender feelings.

Li Banfeng asked, "Since you escaped the house, why did you come to this place?"

Xiao Feng said, "She escaped from the house to avoid A Xia."

"Is it really necessary to hide so far away?"

"We didn't want to either, but we kept hiding and A Xia kept chasing us!" You Tao said. "Xiao Feng and A Xia have a connection. When A Xia gets close to us, Xiao Feng will definitely know."

"Why must we hide in a new place?"

"This was calculated by Xiao Feng. Every place we went, Xiao Feng would cast a divination. Every section of the road was calculated by Xiao Feng."

Li Banfeng asked, "Was the decision to clear this land also made through divination?"

Xiao Feng nodded.

Li Banfeng pointed to Meng Yuchun's land. "That piece of land is not bad either. There is food and water there, and many pioneers look out for each other. Why don't you pioneer there?"

Xiao Feng shook her head and said, "I've calculated it. We can't stay in that area for long, otherwise when A Xia arrives, the Local Earth God won't be able to protect us."

Meng Yuchun can't protect you?

"Do you really think the Local Earth God can protect you?" Li Banfeng was deeply skeptical of Xiao Feng's divination.

Xiao Feng nodded and said, "That's what the divination says. A capable Local Earth God won't let us develop Land Block, and Local Earth God who can develop Land Block can't protect us. The only one who can protect us and let us develop Land Block is this one."

"Is this really the only one?"

PS: Is Ban Feng really such an outstanding Local Earth God?
