New Land Covenant

In the wilderness, Private Detective Dabo Ensi is running wildly.

The hem of the tailcoat had been torn off by more than half, and the top hat was being chewed in Bagworm Moth Madam's mouth.

Bagworm Moth Madam didn't think the hat tasted very good, so she chewed it a few times and threw it by the roadside.

She spat out a thread of Insect Silk, which bound Dabo Ensi's foot, and leaned close to him, saying, "Be my man, and I will treat you well."

"Madam, I may not be your type." Dabo Ensi' body rapidly expanded, transforming into a gigantic spider.

He broke free from the Insect Silk, spat out a mouthful of spider silk, and hung himself on the tree.

Bagworm Moth Madam was delighted. "I like men like you. I like the way you spin silk."

Dabo Ensi stared at Bagworm Moth Madam with eight eyes. "Although I don't know what you've been through, madam, I have my own wife."

Bagworm Moth Madam laughed, "Is your wife prettier than me? Is she more caring than me?"

Dabo Ensi still wanted to escape, Bagworm Moth Madam was prepared to give chase.

Is it possible to escape?

Able!

Bagworm Moth Madam did not take any drastic measures against either Li Banfeng or Dabo Ensi.

She didn't want to kill anyone; she just wanted to play.

I can't beat her in a fight.

I can't shake her off.

Or should we just let her play?

But can we tolerate this?

Thinking of this, Dabo Ensi suddenly smiled, a smile that carried the fearlessness and nonchalance of a hero.

How much pain and hardship have I gone through to get to where I am today?

What does this little bit of humiliation matter?

Eight eyes flickered for a moment, then Dabo Ensi bowed. "Madam, may we speak first?"

"What else is there to talk about? Let's get down to business." The giant green worm pinned the spider down.

This was within Dabo Ensi's expectations.

The enormous bagworm moth trembled violently.

Dabo Ensi closed his eight eyes, his eight feet tightly gripping the spider silk.

Li Banfeng slid down from the roof of the wooden house. Yu Nan didn't know how he got into Yu Family Stronghold, and Li Banfeng didn't offer any explanation.

He was hungry and very tired.

After eating something, taking a shower, and changing his clothes, Li Banfeng regained some of his strength. Yu Nan mentioned the detective from earlier, and Li Banfeng fell into deep thought.

"Detective Dabo Ensi, he's a good man."

Yu Nan asked, "What exactly is your conflict with him? Why did he attack you?"

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "I don't know, I don't know him."

Yu Nan was even more unable to understand Li Banfeng's thinking, "If you don't know him, why do you say he's a good person?"

Li Banfeng also couldn't understand Yu Nan's thoughts. "Didn't you see it just now? If he hadn't saved me, how could I have gotten rid of that worm?"

"He saved you..." Yu Nan could not accept this statement.

Li Banfeng agreed, "Whatever his motives, he ultimately did a good deed, and I will visit him to express my gratitude another day."

"You still want to come and thank me?" Yu Nan shook her head repeatedly. "Seventh Master, that private investigator wants to kill you. You absolutely mustn't go to him. I'm worried he might be connected to the Geng family."

At this point, Yu Nan asked about what she was most concerned about, "The Geng Family Medicine Shop caught fire, and Geng Zhiwei died. Did you know about this?"

Li Banfeng nodded and said, "I know, I killed Geng Zhiwei. You can go back to Inner Gully and continue running your cloth shop."

Yu Nan was stunned for a long time. He didn't expect Li Banfeng to answer so directly, "No, no, I didn't understand. Seventh Master, you burned down the Geng Family Medicine Shop all by yourself and killed Geng Zhiwei?"

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "It can't be said that I did it all by myself; someone helped me."

Who exactly helped him?

Yu Nan was very curious, but dared not ask too many questions.

Li Banfeng said, "I'll give you 600,000 yuan in cash tomorrow. Please give it to Yao Lao for me. 500,000 yuan is for paying off debts, and the remaining 100,000 yuan is for buying things."

"What should I buy?" Yu Nan was completely confused.

Li Banfeng said, "Two pieces of paper, the price that Old Man Yao and I agreed on."

Yu Nan was stunned for a long time.

Before her father died, Yu Nan gave her a memorial tablet with only the character "Yao" on it, which was used to worship Old Man Yao.

According to her father, Old Man Yao was a hermit master, and it was the rule not to say anything inappropriate in front of such a person.

Old Man Yao and Li Banfeng have just met once. Why are they so familiar with each other?

"Seventh Master, have you done something against the rules?"

Li Banfeng was too lazy to explain.

It's because you have so many rules that Old Man Yao is so distant from you.

Yu Nan's thoughts were in turmoil, so she could only put aside Old Man Yao's matter for the time being. "Seventh Master, what are your plans for the next step?"

Li Banfeng burned down the Geng Family Medicine Shop and killed Geng Zhiwei. The Geng family will not let him go, nor will the Jiang Xiang Gang. Li Banfeng can no longer stay in Medicine King Gully, and he may not be able to stay in the entire Pro State.

Li Banfeng had already made a plan. "Shopkeeper Yu, help me find out where I can get Travel Permit to Outer State."

Going to Outer State seems to be the only way out.

"Seventh Master, I'm not lying to you. I've never done this before, and I'm really not confident. Besides, it's quite expensive, and I'll need to raise the funds for a while."

"How much money do you need?" Li Banfeng was very confident when it came to money.

"I heard that someone has successfully done it. According to the Huan Country Notes, it would have cost about 20 million."

"Twenty million?" Li Banfeng's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

"Seventh Master, don't worry. You've done us a favor. I'll find a way to get this money." Yu Nan spoke from the heart. Li Banfeng was willing to avenge her, and no matter how difficult it was to obtain the Travel Permit to Outer State, Yu Nan would do her best.

Li Banfeng blinked, looking at Yu Nan with great confusion. "What kindness have I done for you?"

Killing Geng Zhiwei was Li Banfeng's own business; he didn't think it had anything to do with Yu Nan.

As for the Travel Permit, this was a business transaction, not a matter of friendship, so Li Banfeng naturally had to pay for it.

However, the figure of 20 million is a bit absurd, Li Banfeng needs to find someone to verify it.

Yu Nan sighed inwardly, thinking that Li Qi was a true hero who did not expect anything in return for his kindness, "Seventh Master, I will certainly do my best to carry out the things you have instructed me to do, but until it is done, you must stay in Xindi and not go anywhere else."

Jiang Xiang Gang could send someone to find you at any time. I suspect that private investigator was hired by Jiang Xiang Gang.

Were they hired by Jiang Xiang Gang?

This statement served as a reminder to Li Banfeng.

Does Jiang Xiang Gang need to hire private investigators to get things done?

Even if they hired them, I just burned down the Geng Family Medicine Shop, how did Jiang Xiang Gang find out about me so quickly? And they even know my whereabouts?

That's unlikely.

If it really is a private investigator from Jiang Xiang Gang contacting me, is it about the Geng family or about the Copper Lotus?

If it's for the Copper Lotus, the situation is not so simple.

Jiang Xiang Gang is very likely to surround Yu Family Stronghold!

Li Banfeng muttered to himself, "It seems I can't stay here. There's a good chance many more people will come looking for me."

"They wouldn't dare," Yu Nan said confidently. "This is Yu Family Stronghold, a territory I, Yu Nan, won with my blood. On this territory, as long as I shed blood, no one will dare to force their way in."

Yu Nan told Li Banfeng about the rules for land reclamation.

This is a new land that Yu Nan made a pact with the gods to create. As long as Yu Nan sheds her blood on this land, anyone who dares to trespass will be severely punished by the gods.

This contract is for life, meaning that this land belongs to Yu Nan for life, unless Yu Nan dies or Yu Nan signs a contract to transfer Yu Family Stronghold to someone else.

Yu Nan's statement is completely consistent with Old Zhu's.

This gave Li Banfeng an idea.

Should I also open up a piece of land here?

Recalling what had happened before, the idea was quickly dismissed.

What kind of territory am I opening here?

I will return to Yuezhou sooner or later; this dangerous place is not suitable for me.

Li Banfeng took out Geng Zhiwei's pistol. "Do you recognize this gun?"

Yu Nan looked at it for a moment. "Glock 17, Au Tui Li Country. This kind of gun is not common in Pro State. This is Geng Zhiwei's gun."

Upon seeing the gun, Yu Nan had no more doubts; it was indeed Li Banfeng who killed Geng Zhiwei.

"How do I use this gun?" Li Banfeng couldn't load a bullet or pull the trigger.

Yu Nan flipped the safety and taught Li Banfeng how to use the pistol.

"Seventh Master, this gun looks nice and is accurate, but it's not very useful in Pro State."

"What do you mean? If you can hit accurately, why is it useless?"

Yu Nan explained, "In Pro State, gunpowder is unreliable; out of ten bullets, maybe only two or three will detonate."

If this pistol doesn't fire and the cartridges are difficult to eject, then if you, Seventh Master, want a gun for self-defense, I'll give it to you."

Yu Nan pulled out his revolver. "Eight-Inch Colt Python revolver. If the bullet doesn't go off, just fire another one."

Revolvers do not require ejection of spent cartridges before the bullets are exhausted, and in Pro State, their stability is significantly higher than that of other handguns.

This Colt Python pistol is beautiful because it fulfills all of Li Banfeng's fantasies about revolvers.

The eight-inch barrel was long enough, the revolver wheel was a good size, and the silver gun body gave Li Banfeng a sense of being in a Western movie.

The gun was a good gun, but Li Banfeng had no reason to take it for free.

"Shopkeeper Yu, how much is this gun?"

Yu Nan shook her head and said, "I won't accept the money. This is a token of my appreciation for Seventh Master."

Li Banfeng handed Geng Zhiwei's pistol to Yu Nan: "This is a token of my appreciation; please accept it."

The two exchanged pistols, Yu Nan's cheeks flushed slightly.

Li Banfeng didn't think there was anything special about this. He put away the pistol, took some bullets from Yu Nan, and, unable to resist his exhaustion Li Banfeng, went back to his Portable Abode to sleep.

The next day at noon, Li Banfeng ate lunch feeling refreshed. Yu Nan called all the shop assistants from the Yu Family Cloth Shop to Li Banfeng express their gratitude.

One of the men, Ling Xiu, stepped forward and knelt on the ground first. "Seventh Master, you have avenged us brothers. I have nothing else to say but kowtow to you."

"What are you doing?" Li Banfeng immediately jumped away from Ling Xiu and pulled him up from beside him.

Ling Xiu was taken aback. "Seventh Master, I'm here to kowtow to you!"

Li Banfeng frowned and asked, "Why did you do that?"

Li Banfeng is an orphan. He has seen many pitiful people kowtowing to others, often just for a bite to eat.

In Li Banfeng's view, kneeling and kowtowing are the most despicable things, without exception.

People shouldn't kneel, at least not to living people.

Seeing that Li Banfeng was unhappy, Ling Xiu didn't know what to do for a moment.

Yu Nan felt this was to be expected. Li Banfeng was a straightforward person and would never value such superficial friendships.

She ordered someone to bring over two boxes of gold bars, "Seventh Master, I am not an ungrateful person. Although our Yu family is not doing well, we will never fail to show our gratitude."

Li Banfeng was still puzzled. "Why are you giving me money?"

This was something Yu Nan hadn't expected. Li Banfeng was a straightforward person and there was no need for him to be so hesitant about money.

This presented a dilemma, as Yu Nan didn't know what else she could give Li Banfeng.

Focus on getting him Travel Permit Travel Permit; once he gets it, the debt of gratitude will be repaid.

However, the chances of getting Travel Permit are extremely slim.

Yu Nan couldn't think of a way to repay the debt of gratitude, so Wang Xuejiao stepped forward, her conscience pricked, and shouted loudly, "Seventh Master, do you want to marry our manager?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Nan's cheeks turned from white to red.

This girl, she doesn't even know when to stop talking...

Wang Xuejiao sneered, "Seventh Master, give up on that idea. Our manager is a strong-willed person; she will never marry you!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Nan's cheeks turned from red to white.

You brat, don't act on your own!

Wang Xuejiao continued, "If you want to find a woman, don't make things difficult for our shopkeeper, just marry me!"

Li Banfeng was stunned for a long time. "Why would I do this?"

Wang Xuejiao said righteously, "Don't worry, I'm sincere. I agree to all the conditions Geng Zhiwei mentioned. I'll get the whip right now, take off my clothes, and let you whip me. I just ask that you find a room alone and not do it in front of others."

Shall I give you a beating?

What is the purpose of this?

Li Banfeng scanned the crowd and said, "Are you all crazy?"

Wang Xuejiao's eyes reddened as she said, "Seventh Master, we truly want to repay your kindness. I want to repay you myself, and I also want to repay my brother's share!"

"I can't explain it to you..." Li Banfeng shook his head repeatedly. "Give me some dry food, I need to go back to Inner Gully."

"Go back to Inner Gully?" Everyone was shocked. Going back to Inner Gully now would be suicide.

Suddenly, someone shouted from outside the door, "Seventh Brother, I'll go back with you!"

Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw it was Qin Xiaopang.
