Chapter 175: Feng Daiku's Secret Technique (Two chapters in one, seeking monthly tickets)
"The south wind kisses the face gently, the fragrance of flowers drifts over. The south wind kisses the face gently, the stars are sparse and the moon is hazy. We lean close together, the affection is thick and endless. We lean close together, every word is from the heart..."
Song Queen Jiang Mengting was performing at the big dance floor of the Hundred Joy Gate. She was wearing a purple sleeveless cheongsam, her waist was tied extremely thin, and the hem was dragged very long, somewhat resembling a Western evening gown.
This was the unique style of Puluo Continent, which could perfectly combine Eastern elegance and Western luxury.
Just like this "Cherish Tonight," it was also very popular in the Outer Continent, but the melody was mostly lyrical and sentimental. In Puluo Continent, the unique jazz style was even more cheerful and playful.
This was not only suitable for the dancer's steps but also very suitable for the atmosphere of the Hundred Joy Gate.
Coming to the Hundred Joy Gate meant to enjoy pleasure.
The pianist swayed his body gently with the rhythm, and the violinist and flutist winked and teased each other.
The accompanying dancers playfully twisted their slender waists and tight peaches, and even He Haiqin, who was sitting on the edge of the dance floor, had the urge to go up and slap one.
"Such a good place, how did it end up belonging to the Lu family?" He Haiqin bit on a cigarette, his expression carrying a trace of regret.
Yang Yanzheng knocked on the door and entered Chu Er's room: "Miss, First Master He is here. Do you want to go out and toast a glass of wine?"
Elegance has great elegance, and vulgarity has great vulgarity. The Hundred Joy Gate is the signboard of Green Water City, but it cannot avoid the vulgar customs of Puluo Continent.
He Haiqin arrived in person. By logic, Chu Er should go out to welcome the guest.
But Chu Er didn't want to go out today.
The big dance floor, the round dance hall, the famous singer's room, all were full, but Chu Er couldn't be happy at all.
Yang Yanzheng saw Chu Er didn't reply and asked again: "The reporter is here, saying they want to do an exclusive interview."
Chu Er nodded: "Let them in."
Yang Yanzheng brought the reporter into the room. The photographer adjusted the lighting, the shutter clicked, and the reporter asked: "Under your management, the Hundred Joy Gate has reproduced its former prosperity. What do you have to say about this?"
"What I have to say?" Chu Er lowered her head, rolled her eyes up, and looked at the reporter.
The photographer stopped taking pictures. Chu Er's expression was very scary.
"What I want to say, is it important? No matter what I say, aren't you still going to write whatever you want?"
The photographer looked at the reporter awkwardly, and the reporter looked at Chu Er awkwardly: "Our report, of course, must be based on facts..."
"Based on facts?" Chu Er smiled. "What are the facts? Does this prosperity of the Hundred Joy Gate have anything to do with me?"
The reporter had nothing to say, and even Yang Yanzheng didn't know what Chu Er meant.
The Hundred Joy Gate made money every day; how could this be said to have nothing to do with her?
"This matter has absolutely nothing to do with me!" Ma Wu returned to Blue Poplar Village, holding a wine glass, took a big gulp, and said to Li Banfeng, "I didn't come up with any ideas at all. I just held a song party.
When I was at Xiaoyao Dock before, I held many song parties. Every song party had to spend a lot of money to invite some celebrities to support the scene.
This time it was good. The scene didn't need support, and celebrities didn't need to be invited; they scrambled to come themselves.
What does this have to do with me? What does this have to do with Chu Er? This is all looking at Monkey Qiu's face!
Monkey Qiu followed Lu Dongjun for half a lifetime. People who don't know the inside story treat him as a follower. Only real discerning people know how much wrist Monkey Qiu actually has!"
Li Banfeng said: "So you don't intend to serve Chu Er anymore?"
Ma Wu shook his head: "I never intended to serve her originally. The Hundred Joy Gate matter has already passed and has nothing to do with me. These days I plan to cultivate well. Without real skills in hand, relying only on schemes, one ultimately cannot accomplish big things.
Just like this Hundred Joy Gate, if one day Monkey Qiu wants to take it back, can I stop him? Can Chu Er stop him?"
Li Banfeng agreed very much with this: "But if you want to cultivate, you should also go to the Hundred Joy Gate; there are many girls there."
"Relying on girls alone is useless!" Ma Wu held the wine glass and shook his head repeatedly.
Li Banfeng stepped back half a step: "Then what do you want to rely on?"
Ma Wu drank the wine dry, put down the wine glass, and said: "I want to go to the New Land."
New Land?
Li Banfeng indeed intended to go to the New Land to cultivate, but what could Ma Wu do in the New Land?
Ma Wu explained: "Feng girl taught me some means of cultivation. Only when I reach the New Land can I stretch my fists and feet."
Fists and feet?
Do you need fists and feet?
Li Banfeng didn't ask any more questions. Presumably, Feng Daiku's secret techniques weren't convenient to reveal: "Going to the New Land is also fine. I succeeded in reclaiming land in the New Land. It's just right that we have a place to stay. You also open up a piece of land, and if you encounter danger, there's the Local Deity to protect you."
This coincided with Ma Wu's idea. He immediately prepared supplies and brought a helper this time.
Originally, he intended to bring Little Chuanzi along. Little Chuanzi was an industrial cultivator. After the land reclamation succeeded, he could directly plan the next step of the project.
But Little Chuanzi still had to manage the business of Blue Poplar Village. After weighing it repeatedly, Ma Wu decided to take Little Genzi away.
At first, Little Genzi refused.
"Fifth Master, if you have orders, I shouldn't have a second word, but if I go with you, what about my cultivation?"
Other things were easy to say, but Golden Juice was hard to find. There were too few people in the New Land.
Ma Wu scolded: "Confused! Do you have to find Golden Juice from people? The New Land has so many alien species; good materials are everywhere. Could it be lacking for you?"
Little Genzi pondered, and this was also the truth.
Cultivation materials couldn't be too single. Alien species' Golden Juice might be more effective.
The three people set off that day. This journey was walked more familiarly. Ma Wu asked for a pair of better shoes from Chu Er and gave the original pair to Little Genzi.
The road ahead was easy to walk. The most difficult one was still Iron Wire River. Ma Wu still didn't have a magic treasure that could fly. When camping at night, Ma Wu specially reminded Little Genzi: "Tomorrow, listen entirely to Seventh Brother's orders. If you fall into that river, not even bone dregs will be left."
Little Genzi looked at Li Qi's tent and asked in a low voice: "Where did Seventh Brother go? Why do I feel he's not in the tent?"
"Seventh Brother loves quiet. You must not disturb him. Rest early; we still have to hurry tomorrow."
"You rest. I can't rest. You just said good materials are everywhere. I walked for a day and only found two pieces."
Ma Wu knew cultivation wasn't easy and reminded: "Don't walk too far, don't stay up too late. Look for them nearby. If you really can't find them, forget it. I'll use elixir to top you up."
At noon the next day, the three people arrived at the bank of Iron Wire River and were stunned for a long time without speaking.
Iron Wire River, it was gone.
Only the bare riverbed remained, and not a single Iron Wire Worm was seen.
Little Genzi took a spoon and poked the riverbed: "Fifth Master, do you think those insects are all underground?"
The soil on the riverbed was somewhat loose. Li Banfeng didn't dare to step forward rashly. Ma Wu didn't know what the situation was either, only seeing a massive white egret pacing slowly on the riverbed, leaving a steaming pile, then waving its wings and flying away elegantly.
"Good stuff!" Little Genzi knew the quality wasn't bad as soon as he saw the shape, and carrying the spoon, he rushed up.
Ma Wu couldn't stop him and shouted: "Don't be reckless! Watch your feet!"
Little Genzi skillfully loaded that pile into the bucket, stepped on the riverbed with both feet, left a line of footprints, and didn't see any insects.
Iron Wire River had no insects?
Could it be that these insects were afraid of Little Genzi?
Impossible. These Iron Wire Worms were so fierce, how could they be afraid of a first-layer Gold Cultivator.
Li Banfeng tentatively walked a step into the riverbed and didn't perceive any danger.
He walked through the riverbed smoothly all the way. Ma Wu followed closely behind and also passed.
Little Genzi carried the spoon and smiled honestly: "Everyone said this road was hard to walk. Isn't it nothing after walking it!"
Li Banfeng sighed in his heart. This brother's luck was truly not bad.
Walking to Little Yellow Spring, Ma Wu was even more cautious. Li Banfeng didn't dare to let go of the chicken feather duster for a moment.
Little Genzi looked indifferent, held the spoon, and walked at the very front.
Originally, a group of wandering souls had been protecting Li Banfeng. Seeing Little Genzi coming, they all dispersed.
It wasn't that they couldn't beat him, but they really didn't want to provoke him.
This journey was walked even more smoothly. The three people soon arrived at the New Land opened by Li Banfeng.
There was a faint light in the sky, and spring water surged underground.
Ma Wu laughed: "This is truly opened."
He hurriedly took out the offering table, placed the offerings, and next to Li Banfeng's territory, prepared to open another piece of wasteland.
The offerings were still a bottle of wine. Li Banfeng frowned: "Stingy, put a few more bottles. Let's take a big piece!"
Ma Wu shook his head: "I'm not greedy. A radius of one mile is enough."
"Just listen to me. Leave the land reclamation matter to me."
Seeing Li Banfeng was very confident, Ma Wu was somewhat tempted. He was just about to take out a few more bottles of wine when he suddenly saw that a bottle of wine on the offering table had already bottomed out.
The Local Deity had accepted the wine.
He had agreed to this?
The contract hadn't been burned yet!
Ma Wu looked around and found the land plot wasn't lit.
The Local Deity didn't come?
Was the wine stolen by something else?
Ma Wu was just about to ask when Li Banfeng signaled him not to speak.
The Local Deity was beside the offering table. Li Banfeng saw him.
Li Banfeng took off his top hat, bowed slightly, and saluted: "You have already accepted the offerings. Shouldn't you give the land plot?"
A ball of green flame circled around Li Banfeng twice, without response.
Li Banfeng frowned: "Accepting people's offerings for nothing, is it kind for you to do this?"
The Local Deity descended to the top of Li Banfeng's head and responded: "Pah! Shameless!"
Ma Wu didn't have the techniques of perceiving spiritual sounds and the Golden Eyes, couldn't hear the Local Deity's voice, and couldn't see the Local Deity's appearance, only seeing a burst of rainwater falling on Li Banfeng's head.
Li Banfeng wiped his face and said: "Why are you still holding such a grudge? Speak, what exactly do you want?"
The Local Deity descended an oracle:
The land plot can be given, but there are three conditions!
First condition: Li Banfeng is not allowed to take the land, nor is he allowed to reclaim land.
Second condition: Ma Wu's land plot cannot be adjacent to Li Banfeng's land plot.
Third condition: During the land reclamation period, Li Banfeng must not appear within a radius of one hundred miles.
Li Banfeng shouted angrily: "How much of a grudge do you have against me?"
Why did the Local Deity have so much precaution against Li Banfeng?
Because the Local Deity was worried that Li Banfeng would help Ma Wu cheat.
The Local Deity didn't know what means Li Banfeng used last time. He only knew that within three days, he couldn't perceive Li Banfeng's existence at all.
Such a person must be kept away from the land reclaimer, otherwise, the land plot would be equivalent to being given away for free.
After conveying the three oracles, Li Banfeng persuaded Ma Wu: "Let's just forget it this time. Relying on you alone, I'm afraid you can't reclaim the land."
Ma Wu hesitated for a long time and said: "Brother Li, I want to try."
Little Genzi held the spoon and supported Ma Wu very much: "Seventh Brother, I'll follow Fifth Master. You can rest assured."
Li Banfeng looked at Little Genzi: "Brother, you're just at the first layer, right? If you really encounter something, how much help can you be?"
Little Genzi puffed out his chest: "I saved Fifth Master's life. I'm also someone with skills."
Ma Wu was also very persistent: "Brother Li, just let us brothers try. If it really doesn't work, we'll just run away. At most, it's just a failure in land reclamation."
Li Banfeng pondered for a moment and said: "Are you carrying signal cannons?"
Little Genzi took out five signal cannons: "I'm carrying them. I just don't know if they can be pulled."
In Puluo Continent, gunpowder was sometimes effective and sometimes not.
Li Banfeng urged: "If you really encounter something, run toward my land. As long as I see the signal cannon, I'll rush back immediately."
Ma Wu agreed repeatedly.
Li Banfeng truly didn't understand why Ma Wu was so persistent about the New Land.
He also didn't understand how Ma Wu would cultivate after reaching the New Land.
But this was Ma Wu's own decision. No matter how deep the friendship was, he couldn't interfere.
Li Banfeng left.
Ma Wu walked ten miles away and set up the offering table again. This time he didn't place offerings. If the offerings were excessive, things would become very troublesome.
He burned the contract directly, and the land plot of one mile radius was lit up.
The Local Deity prepared to examine, and Ma Wu prepared to reclaim land.
Deep in the forest, a massive wild boar was gnawing on a water deer. Suddenly, the Local Deity's voice came to its ears:
"You suffered a loss last time. Don't say I didn't take care of you this time. Someone is reclaiming land tomorrow. Don't be late!"
The Local Deity told the wild boar the time and place. The wild boar was very excited. Last time he examined Li Banfeng, he was frozen for a whole day and night without even seeing a human shadow.
It seems the Local Deity is still fair; this time he thought of me first!
The wild boar finished eating the water deer and went to sleep early, but this sleep was still oversleeping.
By the time he ran to the vicinity of the land plot the next day, the Centipede Woman had already snatched the lead and entered the land plot.
The wild boar was so angry that he kept digging his hooves: "You woman, you must take advantage of me!"
The Centipede Woman sneered: "First come, first served. What advantage are you talking about?"
This time the Centipede Woman really picked up a big bargain. Ma Wu didn't hide or dodge and stood right in front of her. This was fat meat delivered to her mouth.
The Centipede Woman looked at Ma Wu and smiled: "Little brother, you're quite handsome. Listen to my advice and leave quickly. I don't want to take your life."
Little Genzi held the spoon, carried the bucket, and blocked in front of Ma Wu: "If you want to move Fifth Master, pass me first."
The Centipede Woman's brows furrowed: "What are you doing? Are you specifically trying to disgust me? Do you think I'm afraid of your little means?"
Ma Wu said to Little Genzi: "Wait for me in the distance."
Little Genzi looked back: "Fifth Master, I can't leave you behind!"
To tell the truth, Little Genzi was very afraid. He had never seen such a monster, and looking at her full of hands and feet, he couldn't tell if this was an insect or a human.
But even if afraid, he couldn't leave Ma Wu behind!
"Are you not listening to me?" Ma Wu scolded angrily. Little Genzi gritted his teeth and retreated behind.
Ma Wu stared at the Centipede Woman, looking her up and down.
The Centipede Woman was angry: "What are you looking at?"
Ma Wu looked directly at the Centipede Woman and said slowly: "You are truly handsome."
The Centipede Woman sneered: "What do you mean by this? So what if I'm handsome? Do you want to sleep with me?"
Ma Wu nodded: "If I could sleep with you, I would be willing to die."
The Centipede Woman didn't speak. After dozens of seconds, her body trembled violently.
The wild boar was startled: "What's wrong with you?"
He suspected Ma Wu used a technique!
Ma Wu didn't use a technique. His Joy Cultivation technique level was too low and couldn't deal with the Centipede Woman.
He used a talent, the talent Feng Daiku gave him.
After being together for so long, Feng Daiku relied on essence to heal her wounds. To repay the favor, she not only gave Ma Wu a good physique but also gave Ma Wu an emotion cultivation talent.
Just in the gaze between each other, the Centipede Woman fell in love. She fell in love with Ma Wu.
"Look at me again, and I'll gouge your eyes out!" The Centipede Woman's voice trembled. She wanted to avoid Ma Wu's gaze but couldn't.
Ma Wu looked affectionate: "Are you afraid of me?"
The Centipede Woman shouted angrily: "What am I afraid of you for?"
"If you're not afraid of me, then sleep with me."
"Why should I..."
"If you're not afraid of me, then come!" Ma Wu stepped forward step by step.
"I, why should I..." The Centipede Woman retreated step by step.
"Not daring to come means you're afraid of me!"
"I'm not afraid..."
"If you're not afraid of me, why are you dodging?"
"I, I'm not dodging. I've slept with more men than you've ever seen. What am I afraid of you for?" The Centipede Woman had no idea what she was saying. If she heard what she had just said, she would be ashamed to death.
Little Genzi was stunned.
The wild boar was also stunned.
They just watched Ma Wu walk into the Centipede Woman's arms.
The wild boar shouted: "Shameless woman, I'm going to tell your mother!"
The Centipede Woman's heart trembled. My mother is still at home waiting for me.
She was somewhat retreating, but soon became firm again.
I'm so old, what am I afraid of my mother for?
This man is so bold.
This man has such great capital!
Why is he so handsome?
Why is he so good?
PS: Ma Wu got on the fast lane.
Dear readers, do you know what a centipede looks like?
For the sake of cultivation, can you do it?
