Evening.
Li Changfeng brought the old woman's body to the Pear Garden she had planted and buried her Pear Garden, so that she could rest in peace.
Xiao Qing sniffed, burned some Hell Money in front of the grave, and said, "Grandma! Don't worry! Xiao Qing will definitely grow up well and won't let you down!"
Li Changfeng burned some Ghost Money for the old woman and slowly poured three cups of wine. "Grandma! Go in peace! I will definitely take good care of Xiao Qing!"
Suddenly, a white butterfly gently landed on Xiao Qing's head, then flew to Li Changfeng's hand and stayed there for a moment before flying away again.
It looked as if the old woman had transformed into a butterfly, soothing them before peacefully departing from this world...
Seeing this, Li Changfeng sighed, "Xiao Qing! Let's go! Let me take you to get something to eat!"
Xiao Qing shook her head upon hearing this, her pitiful eyes fixed on Li Changfeng. "Uncle! I'm not hungry! I don't want to leave yet. I want to stay here with Grandma tonight, is that okay?"
Li Changfeng's heart softened upon hearing this, and he patted her little head. "Okay! Then we'll stay with Grandma tonight!"
Xiao Qing managed a weak smile upon hearing this, "Thank you, Uncle!"
After saying that, Xiao Qing immediately stood guard in front of the old woman's grave, as if by doing so he could stay by his grandmother's side forever.
Seeing this, Li Changfeng sighed and transformed into a blur, hunting pheasants around to prepare something for Xiao Qing to eat.
Night.
At this moment, Li Changfeng caught several pheasants, cleaned their internal organs, coated them with spices, wrapped them in lotus leaves, and planned to make Beggar's Chicken for Xiao Qing.
Half an hour.
Li Changfeng slowly dug the chicken out, and an enticing aroma wafted out, reaching Xiao Qing and Xiao Qing whetting her appetite.
Her stomach started rumbling, and Xiao Qing blushed, put her finger to her lips, and looked at Li Changfeng with bright eyes, "Uncle! This chicken smells so good! What kind of chicken is it!"
Li Changfeng chuckled upon hearing this, "This is called Beggar's Chicken! It smells good, doesn't it?"
Xiao Qing looked at Li Changfeng pitifully, "It smells so good! This is the best-smelling chicken I've ever had! Uncle! Can... can I have just a tiny bit?"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng burst into laughter, "Hahaha! You silly child, I made this chicken especially for you! Come and eat!"
"Yay! Uncle, you're so kind!" Xiao Qing smiled broadly and quickly walked over to Li Changfeng's side, carefully tore off a chicken foot, and slowly began to eat it.
Seeing this, Li Changfeng felt a pang of heartache. "What a sensible child!"
After saying that, Li Changfeng tore off two large chicken drumsticks and two chicken wings and placed them next to Xiao Qing. "Eat these, kid! You won't be full eating chicken feet!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qing quickly shook her head, "No, no, no! Uncle, you eat! Xiao Qing isn't hungry, this is fine!"
Li Changfeng chuckled and patted Xiao Qing's head. "Eat up, Xiao Qing! I've already eaten. Eat more, and I'll make you more if you're still hungry!"
Xiao Qing gritted her teeth upon hearing this. The chicken was so fragrant that she had never eaten it before, but she couldn't help but nod and slowly began to eat.
Seeing this, Li Changfeng burst into laughter, "Hey! That's more like it!"
Xiao Qing's eyes filled with tears upon hearing this. Apart from her grandmother, no one had ever been so kind to her. So she secretly vowed that she would take good care of the uncle when she grew up.
Seeing Xiao Qing eating chicken with tears in her eyes, Li Changfeng felt a pang of heartache. "Xiao Qing, what's wrong? Do you miss your grandma?"
Xiao Qing shook her head and smiled, "No! I'm fine, Uncle, don't worry about me!"
Li Changfeng sighed upon hearing this, gently stroking her head. "Xiao Qing, don't worry! I'll be here for you from now on, and I won't let you suffer!"
Just then, Li Changfeng's eyes suddenly narrowed, his gaze falling on the pear tree not far away, and he said in a deep voice, "Who goes there! Get out here right now!"
A figure slowly emerged from the pear tree, cupping his hands in greeting, and said, "Master! It's me! I mean you no harm!"
Li Changfeng was slightly surprised to see this person. "It's you! Officer Chen!!"
Upon hearing this, Officer Chen smiled slightly, "It's me! I'm here today to..."
Before Officer Chen could finish speaking, Li Changfeng interrupted, "You didn't come here to arrest me, did you? Those scoundrels killed the old woman; I was just doing my duty to rid the people of a scourge!"
Upon hearing this, Officer Chen gave a wry smile. "Master, you've misunderstood! I admire your character, and I've come to inform you!"
"The Poison Salt Gang and the Canal Transport Gang are already searching for you throughout the city. In addition, they are also colluding with the government, so the government will also send people to arrest you. You must escape under the cover of night. I will lead the way for you!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng's eyes narrowed. "Why are you helping me like this! What you're doing is a violation of the law!"
Upon hearing this, Officer Chen shook his head. "As a constable, my duty is to uphold justice and rid the people of evil! I never imagined that the government in Cloud City is so corrupt!"
"I'm just a lowly constable, there's nothing I can do. I can only uphold justice in my own way, so don't worry, Master, I will never do anything bad to you!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng pondered for a moment, thinking to himself, "Human hearts are treacherous! I'm not quite sure if this guy is telling the truth or not! Escaping from here is indeed the best course of action now, but I haven't avenged my great grudge, and I must finish the karma I've created!"
Li Changfeng cupped his hands in greeting and said, "I appreciate Officer Chen's kindness! However, I still have a great grudge to avenge and do not wish to leave Cloud City yet!"
Upon hearing this, Officer Chen was immediately alarmed. "Master, please reconsider! As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood! The leaders of those two gangs are no pushovers! Both of them possess First-Rate Peak strength! And they have so many men; you simply cannot manage alone!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng burst into laughter, "Hahaha! Them? Even ten of them wouldn't be a match for me!"
Officer Chen was extremely surprised to hear this. He never expected that Li Changfeng would not only be unafraid, but also look down on the two leaders. He said worriedly, "Master! Don't underestimate them! It's no small feat for them to have achieved such a level!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng waved his hand dismissively. "Officer Chen, there's no need to say more! My mind is made up! I'm determined to do this!"
Upon hearing this, Officer Chen's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty. He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! Since you've made up your mind, Master! Then I'll risk my life to accompany you and kill this scum!"
"Hahaha! Officer Chen, there's no need for this! I can manage on my own! You don't need to become a prisoner like me!"
Upon hearing this, Officer Chen's face turned ashen, and he roared, "Master! Are you looking down on me? I'm not afraid of these things!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng waved his hand dismissively. "Hey! You've misunderstood, Officer Chen! You have another mission! You have extensive connections, so gather more intelligence for me. My task now isn't just dealing with those two gangs; I need to wipe out all the underground forces I've uncovered!"
Officer Chen was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, looking at Li Changfeng with disbelief, "Master... Master! You mean to wipe out the entire underground force!!"
Li Changfeng nodded upon hearing this, "That's right!"
