Chapter 523: Master of Green Water

In the inner room of the top-floor office at Ling Family Shadowplay Company, an oil painting in the Western style hung on the wall, depicting Ling Ling Miaoying lost in thought by a lake.

Beneath the oil painting was a bed, where He He Jiaqing was currently sleeping.

Early in the morning, as soon as He He Jiaqing opened his eyes, he saw a man sitting by the bedside, twirling two walnuts.

In the past, He He Jiaqing would have thought this was a nightmare, but now he knew it wasn't; this was far more terrifying than any nightmare.

Zhang Zhang Gunli's fingers trembled slightly, and the walnuts spun twice in his palm: "I've provided the lifespan; shouldn't we discuss the matter of repaying the debt?"

He He Jiaqing smiled: "Brother Zhang, isn't that a bit too urgent?"

Zhang Zhang Gunli took out an IOU: "Borrowing lifespan has always followed this rule. Once the lifespan is provided, the debt must be repaid immediately. Otherwise, if you die, who am I supposed to collect from?"

Borrowing life really did follow this rule. He He Jiaqing had calculated that he wouldn't make it through, so he borrowed a month of life from Zhang Zhang Gunli. Zhang Zhang Gunli had given He He Jiaqing twenty-seven days of life.

Why only twenty-seven days?

This was also a rule in their line of work. Borrowing for a month meant thirty days, but Zhang Zhang Gunli only gave ninety percent. This was called "nine out." When repaying, one had to return the principal for a full month plus thirty percent interest; this was called "thirteen back."

Now that the twenty-seven days of life had been provided, He He Jiaqing had to repay the debt immediately because Zhang Zhang Gunli didn't know how much longer He He Jiaqing would live. Otherwise, if the person died, the debt would vanish, and Zhang Zhang Gunli would suffer a huge loss.

He He Jiaqing sat up and said: "Brother Zhang, look at my current condition. The illness in my body is already gone; I will definitely be able to repay the debt."

Zhang Zhang Gunli looked him up and down: "I don't know how to diagnose illnesses, but you aren't lightly injured."

He He Jiaqing was indeed not lightly injured; his skull had been cracked by Green Flower, and his head was somewhat deformed.

"These are just external injuries; they don't matter."

Zhang Zhang Gunli laughed: "Whether they matter or not is none of my concern. As long as you still have a breath in you, you must repay the debt when the day comes."

He He Jiaqing said: "Brother Zhang, just grant me until tonight. Tonight at eleven, principal and interest, I will deliver it in full."

Zhang Zhang Gunli left. He He Jiaqing wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly contacted He He Haisheng.

"Third Uncle, was the road alright?"

"The journey was smooth. I will definitely arrive at Green Water City tonight."

He He Jiaqing got out of bed, tidied his clothes, and left the film company.

Ling Ling Miaoying in the oil painting had a melancholy expression, as if she were watching He He Jiaqing leave.

He He Jiaqing arrived at Longmen Road, opposite the Peace Building, and circled the roadside twice.

On the index finger of his left hand, he wore a ring. Its design featured sharp lines and exquisite craftsmanship. This was no mere ornament; it was a ring specifically used by their trade for picking locks.

The ring spun on He He Jiaqing's index finger of its own accord. It was helping He He Jiaqing find the entrance to the Unnamable Land, the home of the Green Lv Lv Shuigong.

How did He He Jiaqing know the Green Lv Lv Shuigong's home was here?

Back then, He He Jiaqing had disguised himself as Zhou Zhou Changhong and returned to Green Water City, only to be blocked head-on by Green Flower on Longmen Road.

He had entered Green Flower's home and nearly lost his life.

He He Jiaqing certainly remembered that doorway.

He bought a newspaper, appearing to read as he walked, but in reality, he was constantly changing the location he was probing.

After switching locations a dozen times back and forth, the ring still had no reaction.

He He Jiaqing intended to walk a bit further away when a woman holding a paper umbrella walked toward him. Seeing He He Jiaqing only looking at the newspaper and not the road, the woman glared at him and walked around him.

At Jixiang Theater, Zhang Zhang Gunli was rubbing his walnuts while listening to the opera. On stage, they were performing "Tears of the Barren Mountain," and the one playing Zhang Huizhu was the famous actor Cheng Juqing.

The performance on stage was immersive, and the audience below was deeply moved. Tears fell from Zhang Zhang Gunli's eyes, one by one, without stopping.

Painting cultivator Mu Zhou Yujuan closed her paper umbrella, sat beside Zhang Zhang Gunli, and handed him a handkerchief.

Zhang Zhang Gunli didn't take it, instead wiping his tears with his own sleeve.

Mu Zhou Yujuan frowned: "What is the meaning of this? Do you dislike my handkerchief?"

Zhang Zhang Gunli shook his head: "It's not that I dislike your handkerchief; it's that I'm afraid I can't afford the price."

"What a face!" Mu Zhou Yujuan sneered. "Do you take me for you? Even if a single hair falls off, you'd demand three back!"

"Miss Mu, if you have something to say, say it quickly. I paid for this theater ticket, and the performance is currently at its most heart-wrenching moment." Zhang Zhang Gunli seemed to like this play very much.

"Heart-wrenching? Do you even have a heart?" Mu Zhou Yujuan asked. "Does He He Jiaqing owe you money?"

Zhang Zhang Gunli didn't answer directly: "Does this matter have anything to do with you?"

Mu Zhou Yujuan smiled: "It does. I'm going to kill him in a while. Once he's dead, you won't have anywhere to collect that money."

Zhang Zhang Gunli nodded: "Kill him then. It doesn't matter if I don't get those few coins."

The two were talking inside the theater, yet no one around them could hear a word.

Mu Zhou Yujuan took out a scroll and shoved it into Zhang Zhang Gunli's hand: "This is something I just painted. Take a look and see how the quality is."

Zhang Zhang Gunli opened the scroll and glanced at it: "Are you trying to pawn this? What price are you asking?"

"I don't want money. The painting is yours. I just want some information from you: why did He He Jiaqing come to you to buy lifespan?"

Zhang Zhang Gunli said: "Because he was infected by Green Flower's disease."

"Is he cured now?"

"It's hard to say right now. As long as he can survive until tomorrow without dying, then he is truly cured."

Mu Zhou Yujuan asked again: "Green Flower's disease is extremely difficult to resolve. Do you think Green Flower spared him, or is there some other reason?"

Zhang Zhang Gunli said: "I'm not Green Flower, so I can't say for sure. But I haven't seen Green Flower for several days, and I don't know where he went."

"Do you think Green Flower is still alive?"

"That's also hard to say. However, I think if Green Flower were still alive, He He Jiaqing wouldn't dare to loiter around his doorway."

Mu Zhou Yujuan was silent for a moment, then gave a sweet smile: "I want to take on this business. You shouldn't compete with me, right?"

Zhang Zhang Gunli unfolded the scroll again to look at it: "Judging by this painting alone, the quality is still a bit lacking."

Mu Zhou Yujuan lit a cigarette, took a puff, and spun the cigarette in her hand, turning it into a paintbrush: "Name your price. Once we've reached an agreement, you cannot make another move on the business in Green Water City, and you cannot sell He He Jiaqing's information to anyone else."

The phonograph had made some improvements to the Green Lv Lv Shuigong's begging bowl and handed it to Li Li Banfeng.

Li Li Banfeng stared at the bowl for a long time.

The bowl was still dirty, covered in spots, making it impossible to tell if they were mud or oil stains. Inside lay a spoon,

resting flat at the bottom of the bowl.

Li Li Banfeng looked at the direction of the spoon handle and asked his wife: "This should be a compass, right?"

The phonograph exclaimed in admiration: "Husband has a sharp eye. This thing does indeed look like a Sinan, but it doesn't point south; it points to the entrance of the Unnamable Land."

Li Li Banfeng turned the bowl, and the spoon inside turned along with it: "Wife, how does one use it to guide the way?"

"It can't guide you here. It only has a reaction within a hundred feet of the entrance. Once you find the entrance, the spoon will spin on its own. At that time, husband, push the spoon handle to keep it spinning—first slowly, then quickly. Spin it to the appropriate speed,

and you will be able to enter the Unnamable Land."

With his wife's instructions clear, Li Li Banfeng took the bowl and prepared to go to Longmen Road. On second thought, an ordinary person wandering the streets with a begging bowl would easily arouse suspicion.

The pendulum was sensible and brought over a paintbrush: "Master, let me disguise you."

With a few strokes, Li Li Banfeng's face was covered in mud, and he already had the air of a beggar.

His wife spat out a puff of steam, which swirled around Li Li Banfeng's head for a moment, making his hair sticky and messy. After sprinkling some dust on top, a matted hairstyle was achieved.

"Husband, take out a set of tattered clothes and let me help you tidy up. If you go out in this disguise, you will never arouse suspicion."

Li Li Banfeng looked in the mirror and reached back to take out the projector: "If we're going to act, we'll do it properly. Since I'm playing a beggar, I might as well play Green Flower!"

The projector cast the image of the Green Lv Lv Shuigong onto the wall. His wife watched for a moment and said: "This is actually a bit difficult. Green Flower's face is too long; we'll need to add a section to husband's face, and these sores on his face need to be made more carefully."

The phonograph and the pendulum busied themselves for over an hour before they felt it was good enough to let Li Li Banfeng go out.

Li Li Banfeng carried the bowl all the way to Longmen Road, and the spoon in the bowl began to move.

The spoon handle pointed east. Li Li Banfeng walked east, hugging the roadside. The spoon handle trembled back and forth, its pointing somewhat unstable.

Just as Li Li Banfeng was carefully observing the trend of the spoon handle, a wave of malice suddenly struck.

Looking up, Li Li Banfeng saw an acquaintance.

He He Jiaqing was standing under a streetlight, rubbing the lamp pole with his right hand.

He had searched for an entire day and finally found the entrance to the Unnamable Land, but opening it wasn't easy. He had tried for an hour without the slightest progress.

Now the two had met just like this. He He Jiaqing was shocked, and Li Li Banfeng was also somewhat nervous.

What kind of situation is this?

How did I run into him?

Is he also going to be a guest at Green Flower's house?

Should I greet him, or should I fight him?

Li Li Banfeng squeezed out a smile, shook the bowl in his hand, and watched He He Jiaqing silently.

He He Jiaqing saw the Green Flower covered in sores, shaking the bowl at him.

For about a second, their gazes locked together.

The next second, He He Jiaqing turned and ran, disappearing without a trace.

He He Jiaqing ran in one breath to the Peace Building, entered his private room, stripped off his clothes, and began to check his body, terrified of breaking out in a rash or developing a sore.

Li Li Banfeng was stunned for a moment; he hadn't expected He He Jiaqing to run so fast.

Could it be that he was doing something shameful just now?

Li Li Banfeng walked to the streetlight and looked carefully for a while, not feeling anything special. There seemed to be some movement in the bowl. Li Li Banfeng looked down at the bowl in his hand; the spoon inside slowly spun a full circle.

Is this finding the entrance to the Unnamable Land?

Is it this smooth?

Li Li Banfeng spun the spoon, first slowly, then quickly, spinning it to a speed of over five hundred revolutions per minute. Li Li Banfeng still didn't feel any change.

But the earring sensed a change: "Master, the movement around us has lessened."

Li Li Banfeng looked around. There were many pedestrians on Longmen Road—people walking, people in cars, people standing and chatting, people talking as they walked.

They had been on this road before, but now he suddenly felt they had become much further away.

Li Li Banfeng patted the projector: "Shine a beam of light."

The projector asked: "Where should I shine it?"

Li Li Banfeng pointed to a man on the street who was hailing a rickshaw.

The projector shone the beam onto the man, but not even a spot of light remained on him.

Li Li Banfeng walked up to the man and waved his hand in front of him.

The man had no reaction.

Li Li Banfeng stepped forward and touched the man, his palm passing right through the man's body.

This was a different space.

Li Li Banfeng had walked through Green Water City countless times and was very familiar with Longmen Road. The Peace Building opposite, the Muyuan Teahouse behind, the Tongde Pharmacy on the left, the Rongfa Cloth Shop on the right—these buildings didn't need to be mentioned,

and even how many lamp poles were on the roadside, Li Li Banfeng knew very clearly.

Yet these things could be seen but not touched, because they weren't in the same space.

Why would this situation occur?

On Suichen Road in the Outer Provinces, when Li Li Banfeng was fighting the Green Lv Lv Shuigong, he had also been taken into a dark dimension. There, Li Li Banfeng could only see pitch blackness. But why, when he arrived here, was the scene Li Li Banfeng saw exactly the same as the outside?

Because these were different dark dimensions.

The dark dimension of Longmen Road was Green Flower's home, and the dark dimension of Suichen Road was a temporary combat location chosen by Green Flower.

Li Li Banfeng groped under the streetlight; he couldn't touch the lamp pole, but he seemed to have touched a table.

He went to grope in front of the teahouse door; he couldn't touch the door panel, but he seemed to have touched a clay jar.

Green Flower's home was truly too evil; Li Li Banfeng didn't know how to explore it.

Judging from a visual perspective, Li Li Banfeng felt he was standing in the middle of the road. From an olfactory perspective, Li Li Banfeng seemed to have stepped on Green Flower's chamber pot.

Bumping into things like this was no way to go. Green Flower was cunning and sinister; it was hard to say if he had left any surprises for Li Li Banfeng.

Li Li Banfeng took out the projector and had it record a circle around here, to see if there would be any discoveries after returning to the Leaving Suishenju.

The projector was recording when the glove shouted: "Master, there's treasure."

"Where is the treasure?"

"I can't say clearly. This place makes people lose their sense of direction. Let me go look again."

He He Jiaqing stood on the balcony of his private room, looking at the lamp pole downstairs.

The Green Lv Lv Shuigong he had met on the roadside just now had disappeared after a short while. Without a doubt, he had returned to his residence.

Why did Li Li Banfeng let Green Flower go? That kick of "A Mile Away" had clearly been used; why didn't it send the Green Lv Lv Shuigong to the most fatal place?

On second thought, He He Jiaqing felt something wasn't right.

When the Green Lv Lv Shuigong fought Li Li Banfeng, he had kept asking Li Li Banfeng for the bowl.

At that time, Li Li Banfeng was preparing to use the "A Mile Away" technique, and the Green Lv Lv Shuigong's bowl seemed to have been lost.

Yet when they met just now, the Green Lv Lv Shuigong was holding a bowl again. When did he find the bowl back?

Was that person really the Green Lv Lv Shuigong?

The Green Lv Lv Shuigong was the person He He Jiaqing least wanted to see. After thinking it over, He He Jiaqing didn't dare to take the risk, and he didn't plan to show his face on Longmen Road in the coming days.

In the evening, the button on his chest trembled. He He Haisheng sent a message that he had already arrived in Green Water City.

He He Jiaqing prepared wine at Yideju to welcome his Third Uncle.

Looking at the table of food and wine, He He Haisheng shook his head slightly: "He Jiaqing, let's just eat something simple. I want to return to Yuezhou overnight."

He He Jiaqing said: "What's the rush?"

He He Haisheng sighed: "Han Han Mingqi was caught by the Dark Star Bureau, and Seeing Datou was also locked up. Although Zhu Zhu Junlong and the others transferred in time, Han Han Mingqi knows quite a bit. If he tells everything, we need to have a contingency plan."

He He Jiaqing shook his head: "I'm also worried about this, which is why I think you shouldn't return to Yuezhou. I'm worried that the people from the Dark Star Bureau will find you."

He He Haisheng smiled: "Don't worry. I've stayed in the Outer Provinces for so many years; it won't be that easy to find me. But there is one thing you must tell me truthfully: is Green Flower dead or not?"

He He Jiaqing sighed: "I'm really not sure right now."

He He Haisheng's face sank: "You brat, are you not sure, or are you not telling me the truth?"

He He Jiaqing gave a bitter smile: "Uncle, you don't even believe me? This matter concerns my life; could I tell you a lie?"

He He Haisheng was somewhat worried: "If you aren't sure, try to stay as far away from Green Flower as possible. Everyone who has had contact with him knows that the Green Lv Lv Shuigong always repays his grudges. Unless he is dead, the previous matters definitely won't be over."

The uncle and nephew drank a few cups. He He Haisheng insisted on returning to Yuezhou, and He He Jiaqing couldn't stop him, so the two parted ways there.

Returning to the film company, He He Jiaqing waited in the office. A little past eleven at night, Zhang Zhang Gunli entered the room silently.

"Are the things ready?" Zhang Zhang Gunli didn't waste words, sat on a chair, and took out an abacus from his bosom.

Borrowing life—what do you use to repay it?

The simplest way is to repay with life.

Zhang Zhang Gunli had borrowed a month of life from He He Jiaqing and given him twenty-seven days. Including interest, He He Jiaqing had to repay him thirty-nine days of life.

This interest was a bit outrageous, but Zhang Zhang Gunli had always followed this rule. The two had signed an IOU, and this was all agreed upon; there was nothing to be coy about between them.

"If you're ready, I'm going to collect!" Zhang Zhang Gunli rubbed the walnuts in his hand, preparing to collect life from He He Jiaqing.

He He Jiaqing waved his hand: "Brother Zhang, don't be in a hurry. I can't give you my life."

Zhang Zhang Gunli frowned: "What does this mean? Are you trying to welch on the debt?"

He He Jiaqing smiled: "Thirty-nine days of lifespan, I can afford to pay, so there's no need to welch. It's just that I'm injured, and repaying with life will damage my vitality. I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it. Can we exchange it for something else to settle the debt?"

Zhang Zhang Gunli rubbed his walnuts: "What do you want to use to settle the debt?"

"Use elixir. Elixir can be exchanged for cultivation, and cultivation can be exchanged for time. Saving time is equivalent to saving life. The value on both sides is equivalent."

Zhang Zhang Gunli laughed: "You're thinking correctly. It is indeed possible to use elixir to settle lifespan, but our exchange rate isn't one day for one day. Lifespan is more valuable than cultivation, and different grades of elixir have different calculation methods. If you use Golden Origin Elixir to exchange, the rate is one to twenty."

One to twenty means that for thirty-nine days of life, you need to repay with seven hundred and eighty days worth of elixir, which converts to nearly eight Golden Origin Elixirs.

Killing a seventh-layer cultivator and handing them over to Did Honglian to refine might not even produce eight Golden Origin Elixirs. Zhang Zhang Gunli was truly ruthless.

He He Jiaqing took eight Golden Origin Elixirs from his bosom and placed them in front of Zhang Zhang Gunli. Zhang Zhang Gunli checked the quality and nodded repeatedly: "Good stuff, the quality is impeccable. I still need to find you some change."

He He Jiaqing shook his head: "Brother Zhang, talking about that bit of change is being too much of a stranger. In the future, if I do business with you again, please give me more consideration."

Zhang Zhang Gunli laughed: "Straightforward. Brother He, if you have difficulties in the future, just come find me. Keep the IOU; I'll take my leave."

He He Jiaqing verified the IOU, confirmed it was genuine, and saw Zhang Zhang Gunli to the office door.

The two exchanged a few polite words, and Zhang Zhang Gunli left. He He Jiaqing crossed his fingers, burned the IOU, mixed the paper ash with the dust in the room, opened the window, and let the night wind blow it far away.

Rubbing his forehead at the desk, He He Jiaqing felt a bit sleepy and was about to go to sleep when he suddenly smelled a scent of powder and perfume.

Who is this, coming to flirt in the middle of the night?

Shen Shen Rongqing also lived in this building, but she didn't have this temperament, nor did she have such methods.

He He Jiaqing stood up, scanned the room, and his ears twitched; he faintly heard the sound of water.

Looking up, in the Western oil painting hanging on the wall, Ling Ling Miaoying, who had been sitting by the river lost in thought, had turned into a woman holding an umbrella.

The woman closed her umbrella and walked out of the painting to He He Jiaqing: "Young Master He, long time no see."

He He Jiaqing was stunned and asked: "Senior, have we met?"

The woman's lips curled slightly, somewhat reproachfully: "Back then on Sage Peak, we could be considered to have known each other. How can you turn your face and not recognize people?"

He He Jiaqing looked at the woman, then at the Western oil painting on the wall, and bowed to her: "If this junior isn't mistaken, you should be the painting cultivation master, Mu Zhou Yujuan, Senior Mu."

Mu Zhou Yujuan was even more displeased: "The word 'senior' sounds harsh to the ears, and you even had to add the word 'old.' Can't you just call me sister?"

Look at Mu Zhou Yujuan's appearance, look at her figure, look at her joy and anger, listen to her laughter and reproach—if an ordinary person were here, their soul would have been hooked away.

Yet He He Jiaqing was very calm. He first clarified a fact to Mu Zhou Yujuan: "The person you met on Sage Peak back then wasn't me. It was someone impersonating He. He suffered quite a few grievances because of this."

Mu Zhou Yujuan laughed: "Young Master He, saying such things is meaningless. Sister isn't here to ask you for the Sage, nor am I here to ask you for the Imperial Seal. What use is it for you to bring up this old matter with me?"

It was indeed of no use.

He He Jiaqing had been wronged, and Mu Zhou Yujuan had participated in that matter, so she naturally knew it in her heart.

Mu Zhou Yujuan continued: "Sister has also heard that because of the Sage Peak matter, you and the Green Lv Lv Shuigong had a dispute. That old beggar is ruthless and wanted your life. Sister is here this time to help you settle this matter. I have some friendship with Green Flower; if I persuade him, he should listen. Why don't we go sit at his residence now?"

He He Jiaqing waved his hands repeatedly: "Senior, don't scare me. The Green Lv Lv Shuigong has already tried to kill me. If I go to his residence, how could I possibly come back alive?"

Mu Zhou Yujuan looked surprised: "Oh, Young Master He, is there a time when you are afraid? I saw you loitering at Green Flower's doorway for most of the day today. Judging by your appearance, you weren't hiding from him."

It really was Mu Zhou Yujuan he had met on Longmen Road.

He He Jiaqing's smile remained unchanged, and he said nothing.

Mu Zhou Yujuan came close to He He Jiaqing, gently lifted his chin, and said softly: "Young Master He, Sister knows what you did. Green Flower has quite a few good things in his home, right? You must have gained quite a lot this time?"

He He Jiaqing shook his head slightly: "Sister thinks too highly of me. I couldn't get into the Green Lv Lv Shuigong's home at all. I really don't have that ability."

Mu Zhou Yujuan smiled: "A young man should be a bit more arrogant; there's no need to speak so maturely. If you didn't get into Green Flower's home, what did you use to repay Zhang Zhang Gunli? That grade of Golden Origin Elixir shouldn't be that easy to find, right?"

"If I'm not mistaken, those Golden Origin Elixirs should have been collected by Green Flower to reward his disciples."

"Don't you think that makes sense?"

He He Jiaqing's heart tightened. Since the moment he repaid the debt to Zhang Zhang Gunli, Mu Zhou Yujuan had been in this room,

and I actually didn't notice.

Wait, I didn't notice, but could it be that Zhang Zhang Gunli didn't notice either?

He knew Mu Zhou Yujuan was here, and he should also know why Mu Zhou Yujuan came. It's possible Mu Zhou Yujuan was brought here by him!

That bird-brained Zhang Zhang Gunli!

He He Jiaqing controlled his emotions and explained to Mu Zhou Yujuan: "Senior, the eight Golden Origin Elixirs I gave Zhang Zhang Gunli,

were refined by me using Did Honglian. The Profound Life Did Honglian was once in my hands; you should have heard this news.

I really haven't been to the Green Lv Lv Shuigong's residence, and I haven't taken the Green Lv Lv Shuigong's contract. Senior, I really haven't lied to you."

Mu Zhou Yujuan's fingers were still sliding across He He Jiaqing's face: "Young Master He, this lie might fool others,

but wanting to fool me is a bit uninteresting."

"The Profound Life Did Honglian has always been in the hands of the Earth God Ye Ye Songqiao. I've known this for a long time. The lies you've made up—what Lu Lu Xiaolan, what Li Li Banfeng—these are all fake!"

He He Jiaqing was speechless. This situation was truly absurd. He admitted he had possessed the Profound Life Did Honglian, yet Mu Zhou Yujuan didn't believe him.

Mu Zhou Yujuan flicked He He Jiaqing's hair: "According to the rules of Puluo Province, I cannot casually snatch things from an Earth God, but now that Green Flower is dead, my taking over won't be breaking the rules."

"Good boy, Green Water City is too big; you can't hold onto it, and you shouldn't hold onto it. His elixirs, his magic treasures, his good things—I can give them all to you. But there is one thing you cannot take away; you must leave his contract to me."

After speaking, Mu Zhou Yujuan laughed out loud.

Before the laughter faded, Mu Zhou Yujuan's fingertips trembled, and her fair fingers suddenly turned into a paintbrush.

If the paintbrush left a mark on He He Jiaqing's face, it could slice He He Jiaqing's face open.

He He Jiaqing took the initiative, first leaving a mark of ink on Mu Zhou Yujuan's face.

Mu Zhou Yujuan was stunned. Where the ink mark passed, the skin cracked, and Mu Zhou Yujuan bled.

"Empty-Handed Skill!" Mu Zhou Yujuan was very surprised. She hadn't expected He He Jiaqing to steal her technique without her noticing.

Looking again, He He Jiaqing had already jumped out the window.

Mu Zhou Yujuan pursued closely: "Young Master He, I really am doing this for your own good. You really can't hold onto the Green Lv Lv Shuigong's territory!"

"Let's take it slowly; don't be in a hurry!" Li Li Banfeng and the glove were tidying up the Green Lv Lv Shuigong's treasures.

The Green Lv Lv Shuigong's residence was very large, and there were many good things. But because the residence itself was invisible, what Li Li Banfeng saw were scenes outside the residence. He hadn't figured out the layout inside the residence yet.

"Master, be careful. There are quite a few traps in this house."

Rip!

A paper person stepped on a trap and was torn to shreds. Another paper person came from the side, taking the place of the previous one to continue the investigation.

Inside the Green Lv Lv Shuigong's residence, Li Li Banfeng had deployed a total of three hundred and seventy-two paper people. Through the positioning of these paper people, Li Li Banfeng had roughly figured out the outline of the residence.

He spent a full sixteen hours finding six Profound Essence Elixirs and one hundred and ninety-three Golden Origin Elixirs in the Green Lv Lv Shuigong's residence. As for the remaining Purple Glow Elixirs and Profound Red Elixirs, the quantity was too large, and Li Li Banfeng hadn't had time to count them.

"Strange, how come there are only elixirs and not a single magic treasure?" The glove searched around and smelled something between two paper people.

"Master, there's a good treasure down here. It's estimated to be a spiritual object of a not-low level."

Li Li Banfeng and the glove searched carefully and touched the cold ground. While groping, Li Li Banfeng found a hidden compartment.

The hidden compartment was locked. Although he couldn't see it, Li Li Banfeng could feel that there was more than one lock here.

The glove was very confident: "Master, don't be in a hurry. It won't take half an hour, and I'll be able to open this lock."

At Blade Dao Guiling, Cui Cui Tike was still observing the battle in secret.

The tenacity of the Green Lv Lv Shuigong made Cui Cui Tike feel shocked. He had fought a bloody battle on Blade Dao Guiling for several days, yet he hadn't been injured by the Blade Labor Ghost's venom.

The number of Blade Labor Ghosts killed was also astonishing. If this continued, if Green Flower held on for a while longer, it was really possible for him to rush out of Blade Dao Guiling without being infected by the Blade Labor Ghost's venom.

In the blink of an eye, the Green Lv Lv Shuigong repelled another wave of Blade Labor Ghosts. The number of Blade Labor Ghosts that Wan Wan Jinxian could mobilize was getting fewer and fewer. Many Blade Labor Ghosts questioned Fang Fang Puxian's ability.

"Hoo-ya-ya, hoo-ya, ya-ya-hoo!" A Blade Labor Ghost indicated that Wan Wan Jinxian was not a smart person; following Wan Wan Jinxian would only lead to death, so everyone should choose another leader.

"Ya-ya-ya-hoo-ya!" Another Blade Labor Ghost indicated that Wan Wan Jinxian was not a brave person; many Blade Labor Ghosts had died, but he always managed to come back alive.

There was also a female Blade Labor Ghost whose emotions were the most agitated. She said Wan Wan Jinxian was very short and not a useful person!

Green Flower stood up. He seemed to be breaking out of the encirclement.

After such a long battle, the fighting spirit of the Blade Labor Ghosts was all but gone. Once the Green Lv Lv Shuigong rushed out of the first encirclement, he would likely be unstoppable all the way out of Blade Dao Guiling.

To prove his strength, Wan Fang Puxian prepared to go and intercept the Green Lv Lv Shuigong alone.

This battle had almost no suspense. Wan Wan Jinxian, in any state, could not be the Green Lv Lv Shuigong's opponent, yet he still rushed up.

Bang!

Wan Wan Jinxian crashed into the Green Lv Lv Shuigong.

Thump!

The Green Lv Lv Shuigong fell to the ground.

He fell to the ground?

How is that possible?

Cui Cui Tike was incomparably surprised. The weak Green Lv Lv Shuigong fell to the ground and couldn't stand up.
