A Xia

The cook interrogated Xiao Feng repeatedly, trying to find out the source of the information.

But Xiao Feng insisted that it was divined by the Home Spirit.

Li Banfeng didn't believe that Home Spirit had such good abilities. If she were really so good at calculation, how come she didn't predict that Li Banfeng was going to expose her secrets tonight?

But Xiao Feng might genuinely not know.

After finishing the roast chicken, You Tao ate the squab inside the chicken, and then the quail inside the squab. She licked her fingers, stood up, and said, "Brother, I know you came to help me. I will never forget your You Tao."

"From this day forward, Xiao Feng and I are no longer friends. But after all these years, some feelings remain. I beg you, brother, to show mercy and spare her life. Just let her go."

The cook wouldn't listen to You Tao; he was waiting for Meng Yuchun's instructions.

Meng Yuchun looked at Li Banfeng, Li Banfeng raised his eyebrows at Meng Yuchun.

Let her go first, and see if A Xia comes looking for her.

Meng Yuchun understood and used her skills to convey the order to the cook.

The cook stood up and said to Xiao Feng, "You can go now."

Xiao Feng struggled to sit up, her stomach still throbbing with pain. She looked at the cook and said, "Aren't you going to give me the antidote?"

The cook laughed, "You don't want to leave?"

Xiao Feng looked at You Tao, hoping that You Tao would plead for her again.

You Tao turned her face away, gritting her teeth, and said, "Get lost!"

"Peach".

"Get lost!"

Xiao Feng dared not speak again, and left the Land Block with her head down.

Leaving the Land Block is easy, but leaving Li Banfeng's territory is difficult.

After walking for more than three miles, Xiao Feng's stomach pain worsened, and she squatted down by the roadside and began to dry heave.

Unable to vomit, I could only grit my teeth and keep walking.

After walking another two or three miles, Xiao Feng passed a vine covered in sharp thorns that tore her clothes and scratched a patch of skin on her back.

Although it was just a scratch, Xiao Feng felt excruciating pain in the wound. After walking a few more steps, she saw vines everywhere ahead, with no way to avoid them.

With no way forward, she decided to go around to the left. House Cultivator was extremely insensitive to directions, and she had no idea where going to the left would lead her.

After walking several dozen steps, the left side was also covered with vines.

Am I seeing things?

Xiao Feng rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand, only to feel a sharp pain in her eyelids as if they were being cut by a knife.

Looking down, I saw that vines had also grown on the back of my hand.

Not only on the back of her hands, but also on her arms, shoulders, chest, abdomen, and legs, vines were growing all over Xiao Feng's body.

In her terror, Xiao Feng screamed in agony, "A Xia, A Xia, save me!"

Meng Yuchun and Li Banfeng waited quietly to see if this A Xia was willing to make a move.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Xiao Feng was almost too tired to shout anymore when a cluster of green light appeared in the distance.

Above the green light, a woman's figure slowly emerged. She wore a light blue robe, a Small Round Hat, and round-framed black sunglasses. She held a bucket of counting rods in her hand and carried a huge abacus on her back.

This outfit is commonly seen on fortune tellers; it's quite rare to see a woman wearing it.

Meng Yuchun paused for a moment, then asked, "Gao Shuxia?"

They actually knew each other.

Gao Shuxia sighed and said, "I told Xiao Feng to do everything she could to avoid you, but she still couldn't escape you. Who is this man beside you?"

Gao Shuxia looked at Li Banfeng.

Meng Yuchun smiled and took Li Banfeng's arm, "This is my lover."

Gao Shuxia paused for a moment, then asked, "Is your lover a man?"

Li Banfeng frowned; this was a rather unprofessional question.

Meng Yuchun was a woman, so her lover was naturally a man.

Meng Yuchun nodded and said, "I want to try something different."

What's the point of changing the flavor of this? This...

Li Banfeng glanced at Meng Yuchun and realized that the situation might not be what he thought.

Meng Yuchun and Gao Shuxia are old acquaintances. Gao Shuxia and Xiao Feng have a special relationship. Could Meng Yuchun also have a special relationship?

Do they all have the same diet?

Then think about Meng Yuchun's good friends, Yellow Butterfly, Red Butterfly...

The two women seemed to want to catch up, but Li Banfeng glanced at Meng Yuchun and reminded her to get down to business first.

Meng Yuchun asked, "How did you know that the Mountain Pulling Master was in trouble? Don't tell me you calculated it."

Gao Shuxia was silent for a moment before saying, "The Mountain Pulling Master has hired a lot of Wandering Monster, wanting to seize your territory, isn't that true?"

"Have!"

"There is a Wandering Monster who is an old friend of mine. He is hired by the Mountain Pulling Master and should have fought you as well."

When it came time to make a move, this man got scared and didn't go to your territory with the Mountain Pulling Master.

Fearing retaliation from the Mountain Pulling Master, she prepared a generous gift to apologize, but after waiting for many days, the Mountain Pulling Master never appeared.

She deduced that the Mountain Pulling Master was dead. Following her lead, I performed a divination and learned that the Mountain Pulling Master was indeed dead. I then sent Xiao Feng to investigate the matter.

To be honest, I really wanted this territory, but since you've already taken it, I'll just let it go.

"I can't bear to part with Xiao Feng. If you still care about our past relationship, then spare her life. If you really don't care, then we'll fight right now!"

Meng Yuchun hesitated for a long time, unsure whether it was out of consideration for their friendship or out of fear of the other party's strength, but in the end she did not choose to fight Gao Shuxia.

"Take her away, and don't let her come to my territory again."

Gao Shuxia whipped up a gust of wind and disappeared into the night with Xiao Feng.

Li Banfeng asked Meng Yuchun, "What is the cultivation level of this person named Gao Shuxia? Has she reached the clouds?"

Meng Yuchun shook her head and said, "When I first became acquainted with her, she was still at the Ninth Layer. We both advanced together, but I succeeded while she didn't, and she became Wounded Demon Fiend."

The Wounded Demon Fiend, a loser who failed to Ninth to Tenth Stage, suffered more than 20% but less than 50% damage to his soul.

Because their souls are severely damaged and difficult to recover, they can live on in the world for a long time and are the most powerful type of Evil Spirit in Pro State.

"Can the Wounded Demon Fiend also be Local Earth God?"

Meng Yuchun shook her head and said, "Logically speaking, she is not qualified, but I haven't seen her for many years, and I don't know what changes have occurred in her."

Judging from what just happened, she wasn't intimidated by me, so her cultivation level might not be lower than mine.

"Her soul is severely damaged and difficult to repair. Is it possible for her to continue advancing?"

Meng Yuchun looked at Li Banfeng awkwardly; her knowledge in this area was very limited.

That's alright, we can ask my Wife when we have time. The more pressing matter is whether Gao Shuxia told the truth or not. Did she really get her information from Wandering Monster?

Does this Wandering Monster she described actually exist? We need to verify this with the chef first.

Li Banfeng went to the You Tao Land Block. The You Tao sat on the ground, their eyes vacant, like clay sculptures.

Meng Yuchun frowned and said, "Look at her lack of ambition. If some Strange Monsters came to test her now, she could be slapped to death. Such a person cannot allow her to succeed in pioneering the land. She is not worthy!"

Meng Yuchun was absolutely right; the You Tao in this condition are really not worthy of this Land Block.

But Li Banfeng wanted daylight.

For the sake of a good omen, Li Banfeng didn't want the first attempt at land reclamation to end in failure.

He stood outside the boundary line and nodded toward the projector in the tree.

The projector adjusted the camera angle, revealing Li Banfeng's figure.

Upon seeing Li Banfeng, You Tao stood up and walked towards Li Banfeng, looking dejected.

"Brother Bai Sha, you've arrived."

"They're here."

"What do you think of my face? Am I pretty?"

"Nice."

"What about my figure? She always says I have a great figure. She says that when she holds me in her arms, she never feels tired of it."

Li Banfeng nodded. "Yes, it definitely won't get boring."

"Brother Bai Sha, do you like it? Do you want it? I'll go with you, I'm all yours, you can do whatever you want with me."

You Tao spoke in a very calm tone, like someone who had lost their soul talking to themselves.

She walked step by step toward Li Banfeng, Li Banfeng gestured for her to stop. "Don't go any further, or you'll cross the boundary and the land reclamation will fail."

"Clearing the land, hahaha," You Tao laughed, a foolish laugh, a laugh All Thoughts Reduced to Ashes. "What's the point of clearing the land? I've been played. I'm just a rag to shelter someone from the wind and rain, and she treated me like a rag. You understand, brother?"

Li Banfeng said, "I don't know how she sees you, and it doesn't matter. I consider you a friend. I invited this chef to help you clear the land. You should repay this kindness, shouldn't you?"

"Okay, I'll return it right away, I'll give it all to you." You Tao walked towards Li Banfeng again.

Li Banfeng shook his head repeatedly, saying, "Please don't mention repaying with your body. That would be degrading to you and to me."

"If you don't want to clear the land, then leave. Just pretend we never met."

After saying that, Li Banfeng glanced at the cook, lowered the brim of his hat, and turned to leave.

The cook took out another dish from the food box. "Girl, eat up. This Soft Sliced Meat, refreshing and appetizing. As long as you're full, there's no knot in your heart that can't be untied."

The You Tao stood still. The cook put the food box on the ground, placed the Soft Sliced Meat in the food box, and went to find Li Banfeng.

You Tao glanced at Li Banfeng's retreating figure, then at the food box on the ground, and couldn't help but sob, two lines of tears slowly sliding down the corners of her mouth.

Li Banfeng asked the cook, "How many Wandering Monsters did the Mountain Pulling Master hire to find Meng Yuchun back then?"

The chef thought for a moment and said, "Besides me and Old Vine, there's Actor Cultivator Feng Qu Weng, and Bai Hundred-Eyed Fish. The rest are all her local people."

"What is the origin of the Hundred-Eyed Fish? Is it a creature from the river?"

The chef shook his head and said, "She's not a river fish; she's a type of parasite. She looks like a silverfish, but she doesn't just eat clothes; she eats everything."

If you ask about her background, I can't say for sure; as for her cultivation level, I haven't inquired about it either.

But I saw her make a move once; in the blink of an eye, she devoured one of Old Vine's arms.

Since then, none of us have dared to provoke her again; her cultivation level must be above ours.

According to Gao Shuxia, it must have been this Hundred-Eyed Fish that leaked the news.

But is that really the case?

Li Banfeng asked the cook, "Can you find out any information about the Hundred-Eyed Fish?"

The cook pondered for a moment and said, "I'll give it a try. Since I started following Manager Meng, I haven't been able to keep up with the news from the outside world."

Li Banfeng never asked people to do things for free. He took out two Mystic Scarlet Pills and gave them to the cook.

Finding the whereabouts of the Hundred-Eyed Fish won't solve the problem at its root. News of the Mountain Pulling Master's death has already spread. Today, Gao Shuxia was sent away, but who knows who will come to seize the territory tomorrow?

Meng Yuchun can handle opponents on the ground, but what if opponents in the clouds come?

What if the Inner State finds out about this?

Having arrived in Pro State for a year and a half, Li Banfeng has achieved a cultivation level of the seventh level in both cultivation. His rapid advancement is the envy of countless people.

But now Li Banfeng feels that his advancement is not fast enough. His cultivation at the seventh level in both realms is not only insufficient for the position of Local Earth God, but also somewhat embarrassing.

He found a secluded place and took a pill.

There aren't many Golden Essence Pill left. According to Li Banfeng's calculations, reaching the eighth level is definitely not a problem, but reaching the Ninth Layer is still a dozen pills short.

Red Lotus is in a strange state; recently, she has either produced Mystic Scarlet Pill, which Li Banfeng doesn't want to eat, or Profound Essence Pill, which Li Banfeng doesn't need.

We need to find the source of these ten or so pills as soon as possible. In addition, it's not enough for just the Travel Cultivator; we also need to find some tonics for my Wife and get the House Cultivator to step up as well.

Gao Shuxia carried Xiao Feng out of Li Banfeng's territory and arrived at a cave, where she found a woman dressed in Silver Changshan.

Looking at Xiao Feng's disheveled appearance, the woman asked Gao Shuxia, "Did you mess up?"

Gao Shuxia nodded. "The Land Block was taken by Meng Yuchun."

"Are you unable to defeat Meng Yuchun, or do you simply not want to lay a hand on her?"

"You make it sound so easy. Meng Yuchun's cultivation is at the Cloud Realm; she's not so easy to deal with."

The woman in White Clothes sighed softly, "Then we'll have to wait patiently. There's some good news from Bei Wushuang, though."

Gao Shuxia was taken aback. "You want me to go find Bei Wushuang? He's even more difficult to deal with than Meng Yuchun."

"I heard he messed with someone he shouldn't have, and a fierce battle is likely to break out soon. Whether we can gain an advantage then depends on our abilities."

"Us?" Gao Shuxia sneered. "When have you ever done anything?"

"A Xia, why are you still holding a grudge against me?" The woman in White Clothes stroked Gao Shuxia's hair and said tenderly, "It's not that I'm not willing to help, it's just that now is not the right time."

PS: Bei Wushuang seized the territory of Mountain Pulling Master, and this was recorded in the contract. For Li Banfeng, this person is still a hidden danger. See Chapter 318 for details.
