Chapter 151: Family Banquet

The iron wire bug crawled on his cheekbone and poked its head out from the inner corner of his eye.

Li Banfeng saw its head, very close to his eyeball.

There was a mouth on the bug's head. Li Banfeng couldn't see what the situation was inside the mouth, but he knew that the bug's mouth was aimed at his eyeball, preparing to take a bite.

Li Banfeng jumped to the "shore," grabbed the iron wire bug, and pulled hard.

The iron wire bug's skin was very rough and thick, with some small barbs. Pulling out a large piece of flesh and blood, Li Banfeng forcibly pulled this iron wire bug out of the corner of his eye.

Throwing the bug on the ground, Li Banfeng wanted to stomp on it, but his feet had lost all sensation.

His leather shoes were full of holes; he didn't know how many iron wire bugs had drilled into Li Banfeng's feet.

He opened the Suishenju with the key, threw the key as far as he could, and staggered into the room.

He fell to the ground, his whole body numb and itchy, with hundreds of bugs crawling inside his body.

*Hoo~*

A mass of steam rushed over, wrapping around Li Banfeng's whole body. The steam seeped into the wounds, killing the bugs one by one.

Three phonograph needles extended onto Li Banfeng's body, first taking off his shoes, then tearing his socks to shreds.

On a pair of feet, there were dense holes the size of incense stick heads, and in some holes, things were still crawling.

"Oh my, they aren't all dead!" the phonograph sighed, "Where did these evil creatures come from? Iron Wire River? The bugs of the Iron Wire River shouldn't be this fierce."

Li Banfeng heard this sentence, but he didn't have the strength to answer.

He couldn't answer, and he didn't know what was going on with these bugs either.

The phonograph stripped off Li Banfeng's clothes, and a mass of steam circled up and down. After a quarter of an hour, the bugs crawling in the holes stopped moving.

Killing these bugs was simple for the phonograph, but she was worried about hurting Li Banfeng.

A phonograph needle pierced into a hole on Li Banfeng's ankle bone, poked for a moment, and hooked out an iron wire bug more than ten centimeters long.

The three phonograph needles worked together, picking out the dead iron wire bugs one by one.

Li Banfeng's body spasmed, and he said tremblingly: "Wife, be lighter. In the critical areas, please be lighter."

There were also many bugs in the critical areas.

*Chi chi~*

The phonograph deliberately poked a few times.

"Oh my husband~ Why didn't you say be lighter when you were applying machine oil? Now you know it's uncomfortable? *Hoo ha ha ha! *"

Surrounded by a group of attendants, Lu Dongjun got off the train. He had arrived at Sea-Eating Ridge from Green Water City.

As soon as he left the platform, reporters surrounded him.

"Mr. Lu, have you come this time for disaster relief?"

Lu Dongjun smiled slightly: "I've said before, disaster relief is of no use before eliminating the pests. My purpose in coming this time is to clean up the extermination mosquitoes of Sea-Eating Ridge, not leaving a single one."

"Mr. Lu, the disaster situation in the entire Sea-Eating Ridge is very serious. Where do you plan to start?"

"I plan to start with the First Ridge."

Sea-Eating Ridge has three ridges in total. The First Ridge is the most prosperous and is a medium-sized city. The Second Ridge consists of three towns, and the Third Ridge is relatively remote, with dozens of villages of various sizes.

The reporter asked: "Mr. Lu, the great families have exhausted all methods, and the Outer Province has also dispatched quite a bit of power, but they are all helpless against the extermination mosquitoes. How much confidence do you have in taking action this time?"

Lu Dongjun looked at the reporter, his expression calm: "I have ten-tenths confidence."

*Click, click, click*, the camera kept ringing.

These words truly shocked the reporters.

Lu Dongjun said: "This isn't me bragging. I believe that in Puluo Province, any great family that brings out their true skills has the ability to completely eliminate these pests.

But have they brought out their true skills? They are afraid of exposing the family's strength, they are afraid of causing unnecessary trouble. To this day, the people of Sea-Eating Ridge are hungry and suffering, and they are still busy with infighting.

But the Lu family is different from them, and I, Lu Dongjun, am different from them. I'll leave my words here today: as long as the extermination mosquitoes aren't eliminated, I will never leave Sea-Eating Ridge!"

The reporters were deeply shocked. A reporter asked cautiously: "I heard that there were some conflicts between you and your family. Is it convenient to reveal some information to us?"

Lu Dongjun laughed: "The conflict you're referring to is Qiu Zhiheng, right? Is his surname Lu? Is he a member of the Lu family? What qualifications does he have to point fingers at the Lu family's affairs?

After dealing with the affairs of Sea-Eating Ridge, I will return to Green Water Bay to clean up the sect. I want to give my brother an account, give the Lu family an account, and give Puluo Province an account!"

These words were all prepared in advance by Wan Jinxian, and Lu Dongjun had memorized them by heart.

The reporters still wanted to ask about the conflict between Lu Dongjun and Qiu Zhiheng, but Lu Dongjun pressed his palm down: "The most urgent matter right now is not the trivialities of my family. Letting the people of Sea-Eating Ridge survive is the top priority.

I have already made preparations, preparations for a life-and-death battle with the pests. I hope that the great families and major gangs of Sea-Eating Ridge can put aside their grievances and fight side by side with Lu. I believe that as long as we work together, we will definitely be able to..."

As he reached the climax, a mosquito flew into Lu Dongjun's mouth, causing him to cough twice.

Normally speaking, ridiculous things wouldn't happen to an eighth-layer martial cultivator.

But Lu Dongjun was a bit excited, and the mosquitoes in Sea-Eating Ridge were indeed numerous, to the point of being pervasive. Fortunately, the mosquitoes in Sea-Eating Ridge only ate grain and didn't suck blood, so they wouldn't cause direct harm to people.

The mosquitoes gathered here because they were eyeing the grain Lu Dongjun brought.

This grain had been treated by Wan Jinxian with special means and was sealed in glass boxes. It wasn't for eating; it was for killing mosquitoes.

Although Lu Dongjun accidentally ate a mosquito, for this wonderful speech, it was just a small flaw.

After leaving the train station, Wan Jinxian took Lu Dongjun to a residence.

This was the place he had prepared for Lu Dongjun in advance. Although it couldn't compare to the luxury in Green Water Bay, all kinds of necessities were available.

Lu Dongjun settled down and called Wan Jinxian: "If you ask me, we should take action tomorrow and wipe out the mosquitoes in the First Ridge first!"

Wan Jinxian shook his head: "Master, you are too impatient. This matter must be listened to me. Wait two days before taking action. Let the reporters build up the momentum and let everyone in Sea-Eating Ridge know who exactly saved them!"

This momentum was truly built up. He Yuxiu looked at the newspaper and laughed in anger: "Damn it, this bird-man Lu Dongjun, his words are so disgusting. It's as if he's the only one putting in effort and everyone else is just watching the show. I really want to see what he uses to wipe out the extermination mosquitoes!"

The head of the He family, He Haiqin, sat silently for a long time and shook his head slightly: "Lu Dongjun dares to say such things, proving that he must have some means."

He Yuxiu spat: "He can have some fart means. His brain, even if scooped out, wouldn't weigh an ounce. He's far worse than his brother. I think he couldn't stay in Green Water City and ran to Sea-Eating Ridge to swindle and muddle along."

"Can't be careless. If he really wipes out the mosquitoes, Sea-Eating Ridge will be his world in the future. Haisheng!" He Haiqin called over He Haisheng, the third master of the He family and the third uncle of He Jiaqing.

"You go to Sea-Eating Ridge. Don't make any noise. Watch Lu Dongjun secretly and see what exactly he wants to play at!"

*Hoo-sha, hoo-sha~*

After killing all the bugs in Li Banfeng's body, the phonograph set her sights on Pan Dehai's piece of flesh.

The sound of the *Hu Qin* (fiddle) rose, and an old song followed:

"The pipa plays too melodiously,

The song is sung with too much heartbreak,

The affairs of the world are truly hard to tell, truly hard to tell,

Good flowers lack people to admire them,

How can a crow match a phoenix?"

This song was called "Crow Matches Phoenix." The melody was desolate and mournful, and the lyrics carried an unwilling resentment. Sung from the wife's mouth, it had a unique charm.

What kind of charm?

The charm that made Li Banfeng explode with anger!

"Why sing this? Are you saying I'm not a match for you?" Li Banfeng, covered in bandages, glared at the phonograph.

"Oh my husband, this little slave isn't talking about you. This little slave is talking about this piece of meat. This piece of meat is a good thing, but husband's current level can't eat it. If it's just left here, watching it lose its vitality, wouldn't it be a waste?"

The words went around in circles, but the core meaning was just one.

"You're hungry, so just eat it. Why say I'm a crow? Why don't you say I'm a toad!" Li Banfeng was still very angry.

"Oh my husband, this little slave really isn't talking about you. How could husband be a toad? Even if husband were a toad, he would be a golden toad!"

"Alright, alright, hurry up and eat!"

The phonograph didn't stand on ceremony. Two phonograph needles pierced the piece of flesh, absorbing the spiritual energy inside to her heart's content.

Did Honglian doesn't eat raw, and the phonograph doesn't eat dead. These are the characteristics of the two of them.

Does this piece of flesh count as raw or dead?

It's hard to define. Judging from the wife's greedy eating, this piece is between life and death, has spirituality, but is definitely not a complete soul.

For a full hour, the wife ate the spirituality in the flesh, and the remaining part had to be handed over to Did Honglian.

Did Honglian was in the outer room, Li Banfeng couldn't get out of bed, and the phonograph wasn't easy to contact Did Honglian directly. Once they contacted, the two would fight.

The phonograph pushed open the door of the outer room and shouted: "Bitch, there's good stuff to eat, come out and stuff yourself!"

Before Did Honglian could respond, someone rushed outside the door and shouted loudly: "Laughing at the sky and going out the door, how can we be people of the grass!"

As the voice fell, the Tang Dao rushed up and cut off a small piece of flesh.

"*Hoo ha ha ha! *" Having obtained this piece of flesh, the Tang Dao was satisfied. Fearing retaliation from the phonograph and Did Honglian, it quickly ran to the third room.

The pendulum took the opportunity to suck a few mouthfuls of blood, and the phonograph didn't stop it: "This bitch can be considered to have made a great contribution, let her suck."

The earring cried out: "Master~"

Li Banfeng placed the earring on the edge of the table: "Go eat yourself!"

Eat itself?

How could it be that easy?

The earring couldn't move, and it didn't dare to act presumptuously in front of the phonograph.

"Madam..." The earring respectfully paid its respects in front of the phonograph.

The phonograph snorted coldly, used a mass of steam to lift the earring onto the flesh, and it was covered in oil and water.

The earring was very happy and thanked it repeatedly. The phonograph responded coldly: "No need to thank me. Today's meal, let all you bitches eat your fill."

The Tang Dao laughed loudly in the third room: "We are sons of men, not bitches!"

The phonograph shouted: "One more word, and I'll melt you into iron!"

The Copper Lotus didn't wait for others, stirred up a whirlwind, collected the flesh, closed its petals, and began to refine the elixir.

Was there anyone else?

Yes!

An old, aged voice cried out: "I'm cold, someone make me warm."

It was the teapot.

The teapot given to Li Banfeng by the arduous cultivator Zhong Desong.

Because this magic treasure's level was too high and the price too great, it had always been under a seal. Today, for some reason, it could actually speak.

Actually, it was the wife who deliberately let it speak.

"Oh my, you old ghost, now you know you're cold, *hoo ha ha ha! * Want to eat? Have you learned the rules? If you haven't, you can only watch from now on."

"I understand the rules, Madam, please raise your hand high and let me go."

This teapot was indeed of great use. Li Banfeng looked at his wife, and his wife responded: "Husband, don't be anxious. When this little slave adds another room for husband in the future, this teapot won't dare to act presumptuously."

That meant when Li Banfeng ascended another layer, he would be able to control this teapot.

Ascending another layer again?

Possible.

This Pan Dehai's origin wasn't simple. His wife ate his flesh, so her strength would probably recover quite a bit.

Residential Cultivation fourth layer, Traveler Cultivation second layer. When the cultivation backlash comes, wouldn't Li Banfeng be torn apart again?

There was no room for discussion on this. First, he couldn't tell his wife about the Traveler Cultivation, and second, his wife never greeted Li Banfeng before ascending.

He had to find an opportunity to quickly raise his Traveler Cultivation to the third layer.

*Hoo~ chi chi chi~*

The wife yawned: "Oh my husband, you rest well in the room. This little slave is sleepy and needs to take a nap."

This ingredient wasn't easy to digest, and the wife fell into a deep sleep.

PS: Li Banfeng is still lost. How should he walk back next?

Need to ask? Just follow the Iron Wire River and walk backward!

Is it that simple?

Christmas Eve is here, and the New Year is coming soon. Dear readers, please accept a blessing from Shala.
