Head of the Chu Family

At Chu Huaijun's outer residence, Ma Wu sat in the courtyard smoking, with Aqin and Duan Wuchou beside him.

There were originally several men in the courtyard who had been injured in the bloody battle with the Three Heroes Gate. Taking care of them was not difficult, and Chu Er had also brought helpers.

She was a woman who looked to be in her thirties, but her cultivation level was quite high, Aqin guessed that she was probably over fifty years old.

This woman wasn't a big deal, but Aqin discovered that Ma Wu still had another woman in his heart.

"You can see something's off about the way she looks at you!" Aqin's voice trembled slightly as she spoke.

Ma Wu was stunned for a moment and said, "You mean the Second Miss Chu Family? How could I possibly be interested in her? I have a grudge against her!"

Aqin snorted coldly, "Who said I was the Second Miss Chu Family?"

After saying that, Aqin looked at Duan Wuchou with resentment.

Ma Wu's face flushed red. "Well, how should I put this..."

Duan Wuchou didn't show any special expression. The head on her neck wasn't hers; it was created by the Shui Yongquan's Hundred Streams and Hundred Transformations technique, so it couldn't make any special expression either.

Not long after, Chu Er came out of the house.

She had changed her makeup; she had washed off her eyeshadow and blush, and was only wearing light makeup. She was dressed in a dark blue cheongsam and stood in front of me.

Ma Wu looked at him carefully for a moment and almost didn't recognize Chu Er.

Chu Er bowed to Ma Wu and said, "Young Master Ma, thank you for your help today."

Ma Wu waved his hand repeatedly. "No need to be so polite. How did your talk with your brother go?"

Chu Er nodded. "It went quite smoothly. My brother is a bit inconsiderate, which caused you all a lot of trouble."

I explained everything to him clearly: the Bai Le Men will continue to be run by me and the Lu Family, and will not be sold to the Guanfang Envoy.

"My elder brother no longer wants to manage the Chu family business; he'll hand it all over to me from now on."

Ma Wu asked in surprise, "Second Miss, is this really true? Should I go in and talk to Huaijun again?"

Chu Er shook his head. "No need, Big Brother is tired and just rested."

"Then we won't disturb you any longer." Ma Wu looked at the woman behind Chu Er and saw that she was carrying a bundle on her back and standing next to Chu Er without saying a word.

"What's your name, sister?" Ma Wu asked specifically.

Chu Er introduced, "This is my senior sister, Xiang Fenglan."

Ma Wu quickly bowed, Xiang Fenglan returned the bow. Their eyes met, and they lingered for a moment.

Chu Er tugged at Xiang Fenglan's sleeve and thanked Ma Wu again, "Young Master Ma, my sister and I have just returned to Green Water City. We've had a long and tiring journey and would like to go back and wash up. Please excuse us tonight."

If Young Master Ma encounters Li Qi, please convey my message that my elder brother has caused him considerable trouble, and that I will visit him to apologize in person at a later time.

Ma Wu immediately took his leave, and Chu Er did not stay at the mansion either, taking Xiang Fenglan back to her own residence.

On the way, Xiang Fenglan kept looking back, wanting to catch a glimpse of Ma Wu's back.

Chu Er flexed his thumb and forefinger, and twisted Xiang Fenglan's peach into a twisted shape.

"What are you doing? It hurts so much!" Xiang Fenglan rubbed it for a long time.

Chu Er said with a serious expression, "Senior Sister, you are not allowed to see Ma Wu again from now on. If you really can't avoid him, you must not speak to him again."

Xiang Fenglan frowned and said, "What, is he your lover?"

Chu Er shook his head and said, "He has a grudge against me and still holds a grudge. It's understandable that he hates me."

This man is very skilled with women; I'm afraid you'll get taken advantage of, so I'm advising you to avoid him.

Xiang Fenglan didn't believe it. "I think he's your lover!"

Chu Er chuckled and didn't explain further, "Bitter Granny told me to keep an eye on you, so just listen to me."

On the way back to Carefree Dock, Ma Wu felt something was strange.

Chu Er's words and actions were incomprehensible to him.

Kind and polite, is this still Chu Er?

It's been a year since I last saw you, and the changes are incredible.

In Carefree Dock, Li Qi held a victory celebration banquet, mainly to entertain the several helpers who had come from the new area.

Last time, after hearing He Yuxiu say that the mutton at Three Heroes Gate was delicious, Li Qi specially asked someone to buy sheep from Bai Mu Yuan, slaughter six of them, make a hot pot, and eat something fresh.

The lamb was indeed delicious, and it tasted great when cooked in a hot pot with cabbage.

Ma Wu picked up a piece of mutton and handed it to Duan Wuchou: "Here, this piece of meat is good, be careful not to burn yourself."

Duan Wuchou took the mutton from the bowl, dipped it in the sauce, ate it, and then demurely wiped his navel with a napkin.

Li Banfeng never interfered in Ma Wu's private affairs, but when Ma Wu went out to urinate during the meal, Li Banfeng still asked, "What do you like about Duan Wuchou?"

After a moment of contemplation, Ma Wu replied from the bottom of his heart, "I like her eyes; they're very big. I especially like her gaze. There's a profound sincerity in her eyes, as well as a stubborn and resolute determination!"

Li Qi asked, "Is it perseverance?"

Ma Wu replied, "Quite determined!"

"Are your eyes very deep?"

"Not deep, quite shallow."

Do you usually wear glasses?

"I don't need to wear one; my eyesight is fine."

Li Banfeng tried to understand Ma Wu, but after urinating, he still couldn't understand.

Back at the table, Ma Wu continued to Duan Wuchou, while Liang Wucai kept chatting with Li Banfeng.

Today we're all eating with family, so there's no need to use any fancy tricks to hide anything. Liang Wucai and honestly show our true selves.

Liang Wu and Li Banfeng hit it off particularly well. "Seventh Master, I often hear Uncle Qiu mention you. He says you're a hero like no other in ten thousand. At first, I didn't believe it."

Now that I've met you, I realize that you're not just one in ten thousand, you're one in ten million.

"Seventh Master, this glass of wine is for you. I've already drunk it all; you just need to take a sip."

Li Banfeng also enjoyed the straightforwardness of being free from Liang Wu troubles, and he picked up his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

The Liang Cai beside them sighed softly, "Will this man, one in a million, become our lover? If he cannot stay with us forever, he will only add to our sorrow."

These words left Li Banfeng speechless.

Liang Wu frowned and said, "Seventh Master, don't pay attention to her. She's not talking to you; she's talking to herself."

When I was alive, I hated pretentious people like her the most. Who knew that after I died and went to the new world, I would grow up with her.

Liang Cai sighed again, "Whether our being together is an arrangement of fate or a chance encounter, we really can't say for sure."

"If you can't explain it clearly, then don't bother," Liang Wu said impatiently. "Seventh Master, let's have another drink!"

The two drank another cup, Liang Cai sighed, "Wine can't wash away your sorrow, it can only add to my pain."

Liang Wu retorted angrily, "I'll drink my wine, what are you so upset about?"

The Liang Cai sighed and said, "You're drunk, do you think I won't throw up?"

Li Banfeng looked at the Liang Cai, "Girl, why do you keep sighing?"

Liang Wu were also disgusted by this. "Seventh Master, ignore her. She has hysteria. In Outer State, people like her are called mentally ill!"

Li Banfeng really liked Liang Wu's personality; it wouldn't be bad to have him as a confidant.

However, the Liang Cai not easy to get along with. Li Banfeng was always wary of her mental illness, which was prone to talking to herself, as it was hard to say what kind of things such a person might do.

Everyone ate and drank heartily, Bai Shou Lian carried twenty bowls, twenty spoons, and twenty kettles to add soup, meat, and dipping sauces for everyone.

Li Banfeng dipped a piece of meat in the sauce and praised, "Your cooking skills are quite good. Have you studied it?"

Bai Shou Lian and said, "I used to be a cook when I was young. After arriving in this new place, I often think about how to cook. I'll cook a couple of dishes for you all to try another day."

Bai Shou Lian is a straightforward and generous man. If we take him to our territory, he should be able to get along well with that Food Cultivator.

Li Banfeng greatly admired the six helpers he had brought in from New Town.

He really wanted to keep these six people in Carefree Dock forever. Even if they had to return to Xindi, Li Banfeng wanted to discuss with Qiu Luoye whether they could give these people up. Li Banfeng wanted to take them back to his own territory.

If there are enough people to clear the land, Qiu Luoye should be able to agree.

But how do you explain this?

Why does Li Banfeng have a designated area? When did he become Local Earth God?

There's always a way to explain it; we can figure something out later. Li Banfeng instructed Ma Wu to gather a group of people and send another group to Decency Village to reclaim wasteland.

Everyone ate happily, except for the Food Cultivator girl Chi Liuhe, who barely touched her chopsticks.

Li Banfeng asked, "What's wrong? Don't you like the mutton?"

The girl was shy and didn't speak. Bai Shou Lian was familiar with her, smiled and said, "Everyone, please eat first. She'll eat later."

What does this mean?

Li Banfeng said, "There aren't so many rules here. Let's eat together and eat as much as we want!"

Chi Liuhe glanced at Bai Shou Lian, Bai Shou Lian said to Li Banfeng, "Seventh Master, if we let her eat as much as she wants, we won't have enough mutton."

Ma Wu laughed and said, "Who says it's not enough? I've killed six sheep, so eat as much as you want."

Chi Liuhe licked his lips, unable to control himself any longer, picked up a pot and poured it directly into his mouth.

Glug!

Chi Liuhe, he wiped his mouth and smiled at everyone.

Li Banfeng asked, "Little sister, is it delicious?"

Chi Liuhe lowered his head and blushed, saying, "I ate too fast and didn't taste anything."

Ma Wu quickly went to find the cooks and asked them to prepare a few more sheep.

After the victory banquet, Ma Wu immediately had the newspaper post a notice to summon the pioneers.

At the Guanfang Hall, Secretary Ling Sujun reported to General Envoy Liao Zihui. When Sun Junfu was mentioned, Ling Sujun said, "His emotions have stabilized somewhat, but he keeps asking to return to Outer State. I have already submitted a report as you instructed, but there has been no response from the Outer State for the time being."

Liao Zihui pondered for a moment and said, "Let him go back. I'll explain things to him and help him pack his bags. Does he still need to wear diapers?"

"It's probably not necessary; he himself is somewhat resistant to it."

"Take it with you, just in case."

After packing his luggage, Liao Zihui prepared to personally escort Sun Junfu to the Train Station. Just as he reached the first floor of the Guanfang Hall, a bodyguard approached Liao Zihui, holding a wooden box, and said, "We were preparing the car just now, and we found this wooden box inside."

Liao Zihui instructed someone to take the box to the treatment room first, and to process it when he returned.

Sun Junfu thought he had caught Liao Zihui red-handed and insisted on opening the box to check it on the spot.

If they can find out about Liao Zihui's problem, Sun Junfu will have something to say when he goes back, and the incident of soiling his pants won't seem so shameful.

Helpless, Liao Zihui went to the disposal room with Sun Junfu. Under Sun Junfu's supervision, a poison repairman and a mechanical repairman first conducted an inspection to confirm that the box itself did not pose any dangers such as poison or traps. Then, following the prescribed procedures, they opened the box.

There was only one thing inside the box: Chu Huaijun's head.

A neatly arranged and clean human head.

Liao Zihui looked grave; the situation was worse than he had anticipated.

As he pondered his next move, he heard a strange noise.

Plop~

Liao Zihui frowned. "Old Sun, you've had diarrhea again?"

"Uh, uh..." Sun Junfu looked at the head and couldn't say anything more.

Liao Zihui turned to his secretary, Ling Sujun: "Where are the diapers?"

"No, I didn't take it..." Ling Sujun said awkwardly.

"Didn't I tell you to prepare this? Hurry up and take it!"
