Bagworm Moth Madam

Around nine o'clock, Yu Nan led everyone to Yu Family Stronghold.

Old Zhu hurried out to greet them. After everyone entered Yu Family Stronghold, Old Zhu started talking about Li Qi.

"Seventh Master is here?" Yu Nan was overjoyed upon hearing this. "Where is he?"

"He said he was going to go for a walk in the woods, and he's been walking for seven or eight hours."

Yu Nan looked worried; she couldn't understand why Li Banfeng dared to wander around Xindi alone.

Wang Xuejiao said, "Shopkeeper, if you're worried, we can go and look for it in the woods."

Yu Nan shook her head and said, "The new land is too dangerous. If we go there rashly, let alone find someone, it's uncertain whether we'll even come back alive. Li Qi is Travel Cultivator; he knows the way back. Let's wait and see."

After another two hours of waiting, everyone, having traveled for two days straight, was exhausted and fell asleep.

Unable to sleep, Yu Nan pacing back and forth outside the wooden house when she suddenly saw a middle-aged man in a tailcoat come up to her, take off his top hat, and bow to her.

"Excuse me, are you Yu Family Cloth Shop Shopkeeper Yu?"

Yu Nan was taken aback; she didn't recognize this person.

The man smiled and said, "I am private investigator Da Boynes."

Why does someone who is clearly a local have a foreign name?

"A detective?" Yu Nan looked him up and down. "What brings you to my Yu Family Stronghold?"

"I'm looking for someone. His Li Banfeng."

"I don't know this person. You can ask somewhere else," Yu Nan said, dismissing him.

Dabo Ensi had no intention of leaving. "I've asked around everywhere else, and there aren't many villages on this new land, only your place. We had visitors here yesterday."

Yu Nan smiled, but her heart suddenly raced.

Yu Nan gleaned two key pieces of information from the private investigator's words.

The first piece of information: the Li Banfeng he was looking for was very likely Li Qi.

The second piece of information: He was able to determine that visitors had come to Yu Family Stronghold yesterday, which proves that he has some special skills.

He came here because he was certain that Li Banfeng was here.

Yu Nan didn't intend to waste any more words with him. "Detective Dabos, I really don't know this Li Banfeng here. It's getting late, and if there's nothing else, we won't keep you any longer."

Dabo Ensi smiled and said, "Since Shopkeeper Yu has brought it up, I do have something else to discuss."

I'm a timid person and don't like walking alone at night. If Shopkeeper Yu doesn't mind, could I stay at Baofang for the night?

Yu Nan's smile faded as she said, "I mind. Yu Family Stronghold never hosts outsiders."

Dabo Ensi' smile remained unchanged, "It's alright if you don't want to stay overnight, but could you buy me a cup of tea?"

Yu Nan, holding his Smoking Pipe, said, "No water is coming out of the well today, so we can't make tea."

Dabo Ensi still refused to leave. "Can't I ask Shopkeeper Yu for a cigarette?"

Whew~

Yu Nan exhaled a puff of smoke. "Detective, is this enough for you?"

The smoke swirled around Dabo Ensi a few times.

This is a warning from Yanxiu.

Dabo Ensi put on his top hat, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Shopkeeper Yu, are you going to resort to violence?"

"Yes!" The lady's cigarette sticking out of the Smoking Pipe became much brighter, and the flying ash landed on Dabo Ensi's body.

Dabo Ensi brushed the ash off his clothes, looking somewhat helpless. "Shopkeeper Yu, what you're doing isn't very wise."

The cigarette ash was knocked off like that.

This private investigator's skills are clearly superior to Yu Nan's.

Yu Nan drew a dagger and pointed it at his palm. "This is Yu Family Stronghold, and I am the master of this place!"

She took the dagger not to fight the private investigator, but to make herself bleed.

She is the owner of this land, and this is not just a simple warning.

Her blood can awaken some of the creatures on this land, creatures that can take Dabo Ensi's life.

Having spent years clearing new land, Dabo Ensi naturally understood the intricacies involved, and under these circumstances, it was clear that he could not continue to entangle himself with the matter.

He stretched out his hands and pressed his palms down slightly. "Shopkeeper Yu, please don't be angry. I'll take my leave."

After saying that, Dabo Ensi withdrew from the area where Yu Family Stronghold was located.

But he didn't go far. He walked around the two rows of wooden houses in Yu Family Stronghold dozens of times, leaving spider webs on the surrounding trees.

Yu Nan knew that these spider webs were meant to be used against Li Banfeng.

But knowing this is useless. Dabo Ensi's activity range is not within Yu Family Stronghold. Once outside Yu Family Stronghold, Yu Nan is no match for him at all.

Yu Nan looked nervously into the depths of the jungle, wondering when Li Banfeng would return.

Previously, she couldn't wait to see Li Banfeng.

Now she actually hopes that Li Banfeng will never show up.

Dabo Ensi sat under a tree, took out a harmonica, and said to Yu Nan, "There is a special connection between Li Banfeng and me. I believe that connection has not been broken, and I believe he will definitely come back tonight."

Yu Nan sneered, her face full of sarcasm, and said, "You don't have the blood of a foreigner, so why do you have to speak in that foreign accent?"

Dabo Ensi smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Yu, gentlemen are not defined by blood, and manners are not limited by nationality. Don't try to provoke me with your harsh words; it won't work on me."

One more thing to remind you: Li Banfeng will definitely show up tonight. If he's the one you love, wait for him here; this might be the last time you see him.

After saying that, Dabo Ensi picked up his harmonica and began to play.

The music had a unique melodious quality, a leisurely and pleasant sound, but now Yu Nan only heard a strong sense of murderous intent.

After playing two pieces, Dabo Ensi put away his harmonica, stood up, gazed at the distant night sky, and straightened his top hat and tuxedo.

He felt the spider silk tremble; he knew someone was approaching.

Yu Nan immediately exhaled a puff of smoke, intending to locate Li Banfeng and send a warning through the smoke.

That depends on the cultivation levels of both parties.

Dabo Ensi was clearly confident in his cultivation. "Shopkeeper Yu, don't make a futile attempt. By the time your smoke reaches Li Banfeng's face, his head will probably already be in my hands."

Yu Nan glanced at the iron bell in front of the mountain stronghold. She wanted to ring the bell to call her subordinates over.

Dabo Ensi saw through her thoughts and shook his head at her. "Don't do anything foolish. Once you leave your stronghold, you and your men are as insignificant as ants."

Isn't it better to be alive? You haven't known him for very long. Just watch him quietly, see him off on his final journey. Isn't that good enough?

Yu Nan was furious, but what Dabo Ensi said was indeed true.

A moment later, Li Banfeng's figure appeared in the darkness. Yu Nan called out, "Seventh Master, don't come any closer!"

Dabo Ensi shook his head and laughed, "Too late, it's already too late."

Once Li Banfeng appears in Dabo Ensi' sight, there are only two possibilities left.

The first possibility is that Li Banfeng rushed towards Yu Family Stronghold, then got caught in a spider web, waiting to be killed by Dabo Ensi's.

The second possibility is that Li Banfeng heeded Yu Nan's advice and did not approach Yu Family Stronghold, and was then killed directly by Dabo Ensi's.

Li Banfeng seemed to ignore Yu Nan's warning and charged straight towards Yu Family Stronghold.

Dabo Ensi stepped forward and greeted him, "From the moment we parted, I sensed that we would meet again. I didn't expect this moment to come so soon, my friend."

Li Banfeng responded loudly, "Yes, we are friends!"

Dabo Ensi sighed, "I've always felt that our connection is deep, and definitely goes beyond this. I sincerely hope that in another world, you will still remember me, my friend."

Li Banfeng shouted back, "Did you hear that? He's my friend!"

Dabo Ensi was taken aback. Who was he talking to?

With Yu Nan?

Dabo Ensi looked at Yu Nan, Yu Nan was also confused; she didn't understand what Li Banfeng meant.

In his surprise, Dabo Ensi sensed that there was another presence around Li Banfeng.

Its location is very unpredictable; sometimes it's in a tree, sometimes on the ground, and sometimes it wanders in mid-air.

The opponent was very strong, and some of the spider webs that Dabo Ensi had set up were broken.

What is this?

To everyone's surprise, a huge figure coiled down from the tree, blocking Li Banfeng's charge towards Yu Family Stronghold.

Yu Nan and Dabo Ensi's view was also blocked.

They couldn't see Li Banfeng; they only saw a huge, emerald-green worm.

Dabo Ensi blinked and muttered, "Bagworm Moth Madam... this is troublesome."

Li Banfeng ran around in circles, dealing with the worm for an entire night, before finally running back to Yu Family Stronghold.

He shouted, "You heard that, that person is my friend!"

The human face on the worm glanced back at Dabo Ensi: "You're friends?"

Dabo Ensi licked his lips. "I, well, no..."

Bagworm Moth Madam turned to look at Li Banfeng: "He said you weren't..."

Li Banfeng had already taken out the Blood-Containing Pendulum, and knocked the screw on the pendulum. A spray of blood splattered onto Bagworm Moth Madam's eyes.

This is Joy Cultivator's blood, from Geng Zhiwei, which has always existed within the pendulum.

Bagworm Moth Madam let out a roar and vigorously wiped her eyes with her long antennae.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Li Banfeng entered Portable Abode and, with all his might, threw the key two hundred meters away, onto the roof of a wooden house in Yu Family Stronghold.

Old Zhu once said that this is Yu Nan's territory, and as long as Yu Nan sheds blood on Yu Family Stronghold, anyone who dares to trespass will be crushed to pieces.

If a person can't get in, this worm definitely can't get in either!

When Bagworm Moth Madam opened her eyes, she found that Li Banfeng had disappeared.

She turned to Dabo Ensi again. "Where did he go?"

Dabo Ensi couldn't answer; his view was blocked by Bagworm Moth Madam, and he couldn't even see Li Banfeng.

Bagworm Moth Madam looked tenderly at Dabo Ensi: "He killed my child. Will you be my child?"

Dabo Ensi took two steps back, looking nervous, and said, "He and I aren't friends, we don't even know each other..."

He had worked as a pioneer in the new land several times, and he knew what level this Bagworm Moth Madam was at; he knew that such a creature was not to be trifled with.

"If you don't want to be my child, you can have one with me." Bagworm Moth Madam's cheeks were slightly flushed, and her plump body rippled with waves.

Driven by Joy Cultivator's blood, she fell in love with Dabo Ensi.

"We might not be a good match." Dabo Ensi stepped on his own spider silk and quickened his pace of retreat.

PS: Dear readers, Joy Cultivator's blood is ready, and the Salad is ready too.
