Bei Wushuang

The Mountain Pulling Master once lost to Bei Wushuang, losing ten miles of land in the southeast.

Li Banfeng knew that Bei Wushuang's territory should be in the southeast, but he didn't expect to meet him as soon as he entered his territory.

Was he here to see me?

Judging from the attitude of that traveling merchant, he did indeed intend to kill me.

If Li Banfeng were to confront him head-on, he would have no chance of winning. But if he only wanted to escape, he might still have a chance.

If all else fails, go into the Portable Abode. Ideally, you should bring him in as well. If you can't bring him in, you can at least hide from him for the time being.

The key question is, what kind of sect he belongs to, and whether I will even have a chance to take out the key.

This battle is too difficult; it's best to avoid fighting him.

The territory belonged to them, and the other party came prepared. Li Banfeng knew too little about Bei Wushuang. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't even have known that he was a camel.

Despite the difficulty of the fight, Li Banfeng remained calm, a calmness that worried Bei Wushuang.

This man was quite straightforward, and he directly stated to Li Banfeng: "You come from Meng Yuchun's territory, and someone told me that you are his lover."

No need to think about it anymore, it was A Xia who told him about this.

A Xia probably never imagined that only A Xia and Xiao Feng had heard the claim that Li Banfeng was Meng Yuchun's lover.

The camel continued, "Meng Yuchun's lover suddenly came to my territory, which makes me very upset."

Given my temperament, whatever your purpose in coming here, I should kill you to prevent future troubles. But now it seems that killing you won't be so easy.

I once met Ninth Layer Travel Cultivator, but his Ride a Horse and Admire Flowers wasn't as effective as yours.

I don't know the level of your cultivation, so I'm not keen on fighting you. I have a few questions for you, and if you're willing to tell the truth, we can consider this matter settled.

Li Banfeng nodded and said, "Tell me about it."

"First thing, did you come from Sea Eat Ridge?"

Li Banfeng shook his head.

Bei Wushuang said, "Old Pan of Sea Eat Ridge is my friend. If you are acquainted with Old Pan, we can turn this page right now."

Am I acquainted with Pan Dehai?

Is this person really Pan Dehai's friend?

In this situation, it's best not to make any connections. Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "I know Pan Dehai, but we're not exactly acquaintances."

He addressed Pan Dehai by his given name, which made Bei Wushuang even more cautious.

"Let me ask you one more thing: what do you want to do here on my territory?"

Li Banfeng answered truthfully, "To find Heaven Spring Joy Soil."

"What do you need Heaven Spring Joy Soil for?"

Li Banfeng earnestly fabricated a story. "For Meng Yuchun."

Bei Wushuang stuck out her tongue at Li Banfeng, seemingly laughing at him, "You're so young, how can you not handle it?"

This camel always likes to stick its tongue out at people; I don't know if it's mockery or just its natural habit.

Li Banfeng smiled and said, "It's hard to say whether someone is young or not, but everyone has their breaking point."

Bei Wushuang asked again, "How did you know I have the Heaven Spring Joy Soil here?"

"I got that from the Three Joy Worm." That's the truth.

"You can understand the Three Joy Worm?" Bei Wushuang was deeply skeptical, because even he couldn't understand the Three Joy Worm.

"I wouldn't dare say I could understand everything. I could only vaguely understand a few sentences before following that Three Joy Worm," Li Banfeng said, pointing into the distance. "You saw that Three Joy Worm just now; you scared it away."

Logically, there's absolutely nothing wrong with what I've said so far.

Bei Wushuang nodded his camel head. "I believe you. I'll take you to Heaven Spring Joy Soil. You can take as much as you can."

Li Banfeng thanked him and followed Bei Wushuang deeper into the territory.

After walking for more than 20 miles, they came to a cave ahead. The camel led Li Banfeng into the cave, and after turning east and west and taking more than a dozen forks in the road, they arrived near a cave.

Bei Wushuang snorted and said, "The Heaven Spring Joy Soil is down there. Go get it yourself."

Li Banfeng looked at the burrow, then at the camel.

Bei Wushuang stuck out his tongue at Li Banfeng: "What? You don't dare? You're Travel Cultivator, you have ways to Auspiciousness and Avoiding Calamity. If I wanted to harm you, wouldn't you see it?"

Li Banfeng did not sense any malice, but Bei Wushuang's level was far higher than his, so it was understandable that he could not sense his malice.

However, if Li Banfeng doesn't go down now, it will likely expose the fact that his cultivation is far inferior to Bei Wushuang's, and may even make Bei Wushuang doubt his motives.

If he goes down now, at worst he'll fall into Bei Wushuang's trap. Li Banfeng can hide in Portable Abode and use Portable Abode to escape Bei Wushuang's territory. As for how to get the key back, he can discuss that with his Wife later.

After weighing his options, Li Banfeng went down into the cave. The cave wasn't deep, only three to five meters. Li Banfeng took out a bag from his waist, shoveled half a bag of soil, and turned back to the cave entrance.

Bei Wushuang glanced at the bag in Li Banfeng's hand and asked, "Is this enough? If not, you can take more."

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but that's enough."

This amount of soil is far from enough to repair a train station.

But if it's used as medicine, according to the Wife's description, this soil is indeed enough.

The reason Li Banfeng only took these was that he didn't want to arouse Bei Wushuang's suspicion.

Li Banfeng didn't need to fetch the soil for repairing the platform; he had experience with this from his time in Oil Lake.

Li Banfeng thanked Bei Wushuang again, and the matter was supposed to be settled, but unexpectedly, Bei Wushuang made another request. "It's already this late, Meng Yuchun should be waiting for you to go back to sleep."

Now that you've obtained the Heaven Spring Joy Soil, why don't you take one now? Once you get back and the medicine takes effect, you can show off your power in front of Meng Yuchun.

Li Banfeng, holding a half-sack of dirt, asked, "You're just going to eat this?"

"How else can you eat it? Heaven Spring Joy Soil is a medicinal herb that can be eaten directly. Do you really want to take it back and make soup? Or is there some other use for this stuff in your possession?"

Bei Wushuang is really suspicious.

Li Banfeng smiled and said, "Okay, let's eat here."

He picked up a pinch of soil, rolled it into a ball, and ate it.

Bei Wushuang snorted again, "If you ever need more Joyful Soil in the future, just come to me for it, but you'd better let me know beforehand."

Let's consider this matter closed for now. Farewell, I won't see you off.

Li Banfeng clasped his hands in a fist salute, carried half a bag of soil, and left Bei Wushuang's territory.

He killed Bei Wushuang's subordinates in front of Bei Wushuang, thinking that a fierce battle was inevitable, but unexpectedly the matter was dropped.

After crossing the border and walking a short distance, Meng Yuchun came up to him. "Li Qi, I've been looking for you everywhere. The cook found out some information; A Xia and Bei Wushuang may be colluding."

Li Banfeng said nervously, "So that's how it is."

"He also found out that Bei Wushuang might have a conflict with Pan Dehai, the Local Earth God of Sea Eat Ridge, and the two might be about to go to war."

Li Banfeng, breathing rapidly, exclaimed, "Such a thing actually happened?"

Meng Yuchun sighed, "I didn't expect this either. Let's go to my place first and discuss a solution."

"I'm not going there yet, I have something urgent to attend to." Li Banfeng quickly walked away from Meng Yuchun, his intuition telling him that it was best not to go to Meng Yuchun's house now.

After finding a suitable place to hide the key, Li Banfeng quickly returned to Portable Abode.

This situation is not right.

I'm short of breath, my heart is racing, and I feel a tingling sensation all over my body; it feels like I've been poisoned.

What exactly did I just eat?

It's alright, the poison will be neutralized once we get back to the house.

As soon as they entered the house, the Wife said happily, "Husband, it's done! We have enough Heaven Spring Joy Soil."

"Is that enough?" Li Banfeng opened the third room. The oil he had stolen from Face Not Big last time was stored in the third room.

Upon opening the door, the three rooms were filled with a pile of dirt.

The man with the gloves exclaimed in admiration, "When it comes to speed, it has to be our old man. Even I am ashamed of my own abilities."

"Stop spouting nonsense!" Portable Abode trembled and shouted sharply, "I am not like you!"

When it comes to things it likes, Portable Abode them. Not only are the third room full, but the sixth, seventh, and Eighth House are also full, and Red Lotus has been squeezed into the Fifth Chamber.

I checked the color of the soil, and it was exactly the same as the soil in Li Banfeng's bag.

Bei Wushuang wasn't lying; Li Banfeng was indeed eating Heaven Spring Joy Soil.

He felt a burning sensation all over his body and a bit dizzy, so he lay on the bed panting heavily.

The Wife touched Li Banfeng's forehead and exclaimed in surprise, "Husband, how did you get such a high fever?"

Li Banfeng said, "I ate Huan Tu."

Why are you eating this?

"I've encountered Bei Wushuang; I can't escape without eating him."

"How much did you eat?"

Li Banfeng gestured to indicate the size of the pill, and the record player sucked back a puff of steam.

"My dear husband, go to sleep now, go to sleep." Under the gentle caress of the steam, Li Banfeng slowly fell asleep.

But the record player knew he wouldn't sleep for long.

That amount of pills is too much; something terrible is going to happen.

Not only is Li Banfeng going to be in big trouble, but she is also going to be in big trouble. If Li Banfeng is allowed to do this, she will definitely fall apart tonight.

"Yingying," the record player called out affectionately, "Go fetch some water for your husband; he's very hot."

The water was kept in the second room. Hong Ying was used to being ordered around, so she put down her eyebrow pencil and lipstick and went to the second room to fetch water with a bucket.

The record player used steam to propel itself off the ground and silently came up behind Hong Ying.

Hong Ying sensed danger and turned around abruptly, but it was too late.

She didn't expect the record player to suddenly attack her. The two needles pierced her flesh, and as the needles vibrated, steam was injected into her body, and Hong Ying could no longer move.

"Wicked Woman, what are you doing?"

The record player didn't respond. It folded Hong Ying's body over, with her knees and hands down, her head in front, and Taozi behind, and stuffed her into the wooden cabinet.

She removed three speakers from another record player, mounted them on the wooden cabinet, and adjusted their size slightly.

Then she brought out some paint and finished the wooden cabinet, and a lip-sync machine that looked almost exactly like her was completed.

"Yingying, you're a well-off young lady with a good family background, so I'll grant your wish today."

What do you want me to do in return?

Two streams of steam were injected into Hong Ying's body, and Hong Ying was unable to speak.

Although the record player benefited from the surprise attack, Hong Ying did not expect that the record player's strength had recovered to this level.

With everything settled, the record player delivered the "fake record player" to the main room and then quietly hid in the second room.

Not long after, Li Banfeng opened his eyes, his face flushed, and looked at the "phono record" beside the bed.

Hong Ying, inside the wooden cabinet, heard the noise, but couldn't move her body.

What is this madman trying to do?

What is he doing behind me?

How did he open the cabinet?

What does this taste like?

Machine Oil?

It's all slippery, is this Machine Oil?

Why is he putting Machine Oil here?

There's only one house and one household; how could he have gotten the place wrong?

He, he, he really did make a mistake here...

Applying this Machine Oil is such a hassle!

Hong Ying was trembling all over from the pain, but she couldn't scream.

The record player sighed silently in the second room.

Hong Ying, you bitch! You got off easy this time. It's a lie to say I'm not angry, but my husband has been with me for so long, I definitely can't take it anymore. You're married, so you'll have to bear it for now...

Suddenly, there was no sound from the main house.

The record player heard Li Banfeng muttering to himself, "Something doesn't feel right."

The record player jolted, and suddenly Li Banfeng opened the door to the second room.

"Wife, I told you that wasn't you!" Li Banfeng walked over, carrying Oil Pot, his expression ferocious.

The record player tried to escape, but Li Banfeng grabbed it from behind.

Amidst the sounds of gongs and drums, a mournful song rang out. "Husband! Make do! Just make do with her for now! My husband, my husband~"

PS: Ban Feng once said that you have to know your wife before you go to bed and you have to know your shoes before you get out of bed. This is a basic skill for House Cultivator.
