Chapter 584

Li Li Banfeng looked at Zhao Zhao Xiaowan, holding the phonograph in his arms.

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan looked at Li Li Banfeng, pursed her lips, and asked, "I'm here, Husband, don't you want to hold me?"

Li Li Banfeng hugged the phonograph and said, "Isn't this holding you?"

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan looked at the phonograph, then at Li Li Banfeng: "Husband, you like holding this?"

Li Li Banfeng hugged the phonograph tightly and said, "Haven't we always been holding each other like this?"

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan rubbed her forehead, feeling waves of dizziness.

Xiang Xiang Hongying sighed softly: "Zhao Xiaowan, the man you chose yourself, even if you have to grit your teeth, you have to accept your fate."

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan was furious, picking up a board to hit Xiang Xiang Hongying. In her annoyance, her soul couldn't stay attached to the puppet and suddenly returned to the phonograph.

"You crazy man, am I not pretty? Is my appearance not good-looking? Their eyes were staring straight at me, why didn't you even take an extra look!" The phonograph waved its stylus and started fighting with Li Li Banfeng.

Li Li Banfeng held the phonograph, his cheek pressed against the large horn: "Haven't I been looking at you the whole time? Let's go, Wife, let's go to the night market!"

Back in the phonograph's body, the wife didn't really want to go out anymore: "You go yourself, I'm fine staying at home. You don't like me when I change back to my original appearance anyway, so I might as well be a phonograph for the rest of my life,

and you'll be satisfied!"

"No matter what appearance you change into, you are my precious wife!" Li Li Banfeng carried the phonograph to the doorway.

"Mouth, hahaha!" The old man laughed heartily and opened the door.

After the two went out, Did Honglian felt a pair of eyes watching her and that puppet.

"Xiang Xiang Hongying," the old man instructed, "send Did Honglian and the things she made back to the Ninth Room. Since Ah Qi doesn't like them, don't leave them here to be an eyesore."

Xiang Xiang Hongying looked at the puppet, really unable to understand the reason: "Such a pretty woman, how could Seventh Brother not like her? Could it be that she doesn't like this delicate beauty, but prefers valiant women?"

Thinking of this, Xiang Xiang Hongying suddenly realized: "Did Honglian, let's discuss this, make a puppet for me another day too, made according to my original appearance."

Before Did Honglian could reply, the old man snorted: "Girl, you really don't get it. Ah Qi doesn't like this thing, what's the use of having her make it?"

Xiang Xiang Hongying argued: "He doesn't like Zhao Xiaowan's appearance, he didn't say he doesn't like me."

The old man laughed: "That's right, he likes your good physique; you're an expert at moving bricks and carrying dirt.

Did you forget about the muskmelon so quickly?"

Xiang Xiang Hongying angrily moved Did Honglian to the Ninth Room. After more than half an hour, Did Honglian vaguely heard the old man's breathing; he had fallen asleep.

The Ninth Room girl attached to the puppet spoke: "What exactly is that crazy man thinking? He doesn't want such a great beauty, but insists on carrying a phonograph out. There's no one like him in all of Puluo Continent!"

"Yes, he's the only one in Puluo Continent," Did Honglian sighed, "This time I've worked in vain."

"No! I must think of another way. No matter what, I must make him take me out!"

"Think of a way yourself, don't involve me again." Did Honglian remembered the feeling of being watched when she was in the main room before. That gaze, carrying mockery and killing intent, made even her lotus heart feel cold.

Li Li Banfeng strolled through the night market with his wife. Seeing two pieces of jewelry, his wife liked them very much,

but felt they were too expensive, and struggled for a long time.

They went to a rouge shop, saw a box of rouge, felt the color was good, but the fragrance was too strong, and she struggled for a long time again.

Li Li Banfeng said: "Precious wife, Husband has money, no need to struggle, buy them and pick later."

"Picking later is fine, but what should we do with what's left over? If we throw them away, it would be too wasteful..." The wife struggled again.

"If there's anything left over, give it to Xiang Xiang Hongying."

"Giving it to her is fine, but if this girl doesn't appreciate it, I'll still feel unhappy."

This wasn't right.

Usually, his wife was a bit frugal, but these little things in the night market shouldn't make her struggle to this extent.

Why was she so abnormal today?

Li Li Banfeng bought everything his wife took a fancy to. His wife became anxious: "If you waste money like this again, I won't come out with you in the future."

"How can this be called wasting!" Li Li Banfeng brought the bought things back to the residence and placed them in front of the phonograph. "Coming to the market is to buy things, and buying things means picking things. Either way, it's picking things. If picking at the market isn't satisfying, we'll just take them home and pick slowly. From beginning to end, there's nothing wrong with this."

The slope was set up.

The phonograph pondered for a moment and felt there was some logic to these words.

"Then what about what's left over? We spent money on all of it!"

Li Li Banfeng said: "Leave everything left over for the family. Whoever pleases Wife, reward them with it.

Consider it as our whole family visiting the market together."

After hearing these words, his wife felt much more relieved: "The whole family stays in the house all the time,

we really should come out and stroll around."

Thinking of this, his wife's mood brightened, and the previous struggle was swept away.

Watching his wife happily picking things, Li Li Banfeng had a smile on his face, but his heart was tense.

The phonograph's previous mood was like a ball of silk thread full of knots. Now that her mood was better, it was because Li Li Banfeng used the technique of "going down the slope," smoothing out the silk thread and untying the knots in her heart.

But where did these knots come from? Did it really have to be untied using a Fool Cultivation technique?

"Husband, don't just buy things for me, buy something you like too!"

Li Li Banfeng thought for a moment and said: "I don't have anything I want to buy."

"Look, your clothes are all torn, go buy something new."

After a fight with a group of fake rickshaw pullers, Li Li Banfeng's jacket was torn in several places and was indeed hard to mend.

Arriving at a clothing store, Li Li Banfeng took a fancy to a suit.

He really liked the Puluo Continent style suit; the way it looked with a top hat was really good-looking. No matter how he looked at the jacket he was wearing, it was an eyesore.

His wife whispered behind him: "Husband, if you like it, buy it."

"Precious wife, aren't you worried about the money anymore?"

"Spending money on Husband, I don't feel bad at all."

Li Li Banfeng bought the suit and took the phonograph to the cinema to watch a movie.

Inside the private box, the phonograph's mind wasn't on the movie; she just felt that the previous situation wasn't quite right.

"Ever since using that puppet Did Honglian made, my heart has been in a mess. I'm afraid there's something fishy about this thing."

Li Li Banfeng said: "I also feel that puppet isn't very good. Wife, don't use that thing again in the future. If you can't bring yourself to do it, I'll just destroy it."

"Husband, rest early. I'll handle this matter myself."

Having fought all night at Huangtu Bridge without closing his eyes, Li Li Banfeng was indeed a bit exhausted.

Returning to the Leaving Suishenju, the phonograph helped Li Li Banfeng prepare hot water, gave him a bath, made the bed, and accompanied him to sleep.

After Li Li Banfeng fell into a deep sleep, the phonograph left the main room silently and went to the Ninth Room.

Did Honglian knew the visitor was not well-intentioned. Her petals closed tightly, and between the gaps, a halo surged.

The phonograph smiled: "Little Sister Did Honglian, don't overthink it. I'm just bored and wanted to come find you for a chat."

"What do you want to chat about?"

"I want to chat with you about the person in the sky."

"There's nothing to chat about regarding that person. I told you before, I can't even remember if they are a man or a woman."

The phonograph laughed: "You can't remember? Think about it slowly. I heard Husband say that Lu Lu Qianjiao mentioned the person in the sky recently. She seems to be a lover of the Peddler too.

But since she is the Peddler's lover, it proves she is a woman. I have never seen her true appearance, and I really want to know, how exactly did she dote on you back then?"

A halo swept across the lotus leaves, and Did Honglian's tone was somewhat gloomy: "Zhao Zhao Xiaowan, you ran over in the middle of the night just to humiliate me?"

The phonograph spat out a cloud of steam, scorching Did Honglian's body: "Yes, I just want to humiliate you. What exactly did you add to the puppet? Tell me everything clearly."

Did Honglian remained silent.

The stylus was placed on the record, and she began to sing a song she liked very much, "Burying Flowers."

"Flowers fade and fly, filling the sky; red fades, fragrance breaks, who pities them? Floating silk threads softly tie to the spring pavilion; falling catkins lightly touch the embroidered curtains." The phonograph didn't sing it sadly at all; in the melody, there was even a bit of gloom and struggle.

The next day at dawn, as soon as Li Li Banfeng opened his eyes, Zhao Zhao Xiaowan was standing in front of him again.

Li Li Banfeng rubbed his eyes. He didn't see wrong; it wasn't the phonograph, it was Zhao Zhao Xiaowan possessing the puppet.

"Husband, you're awake?"

Li Li Banfeng sat up and reached out to touch the phonograph by the bed, but grabbed nothing.

"Husband, I felt that thing was in the way, so I moved it to the Second Room."

"Second Room..." Li Li Banfeng got up and went to the Second Room, then moved the phonograph back.

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan was dissatisfied in her heart, but still greeted him with a smiling face: "Since Husband dotes on me, then keep this phonograph body in the main room too.

Yesterday when I went to the night market with Husband, we bought clothes, rouge, and jewelry, but we haven't bought things for our home yet. There is a furniture store by the street, I've taken a fancy to their bookshelf, the size is just right for the Seventh Room to use,

Husband, follow me to take a look. If you like it, buy it and bring it home."

2

Li Li Banfeng shook his head and said: "No need to look, I'll tell my subordinates in a while and have the shopkeeper send the bookshelf directly."

"Husband, they have many bookshelves, do you know which one I'm talking about?"

"Just bring them all back. I love reading and I also like bookshelves." Li Li Banfeng put on his clothes, preparing to go out.

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan shouted: "Husband, where are you going? Can you take me with you?"

Li Li Banfeng turned back and laughed: "Didn't we agree? I'm finding someone to buy furniture."

"We have to go there anyway, why not let me go? Are you afraid I'll make you lose face?" Zhao Zhao Xiaowan sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes red, and her voice trembling, as if she had suffered a great grievance.

It wasn't "as if"; his wife really felt aggrieved. Someone was sending thoughts into her mind, and at this moment, Zhao Zhao Xiaowan really felt she was pitiful.

The group of magic treasures in the house looked over here. Xiang Xiang Hongying put down her eyebrow pencil and also looked at Zhao Zhao Xiaowan.

Her condition was too abnormal.

They had agreed perfectly last night not to touch that puppet again, but in the blink of an eye, his wife was possessing the puppet again.

If it were someone else, it might be because they wanted to regain their physical body too much and couldn't control themselves.

But what kind of person was his wife? A famous general who had dominated the battlefield! There was definitely no need to doubt his wife's self-control, but Li Li Banfeng suspected that his wife had been hit by a technique.

His wife's level was very high, and ordinary techniques were hard to hurt her, but there was a type of technique that ignored levels.

Li Li Banfeng sat beside his wife and comforted her softly: "Precious wife, Husband knows you've been wronged. Husband is afraid you'll be tired, so let's just buy the furniture store and let you pick."

Hearing this, his wife seemed to wake up: "That's right, Husband dotes on me."

Li Li Banfeng used a Fool Cultivation technique, "Reaping the Fruit from the Cause."

Although the furniture hadn't been sent over yet, Li Li Banfeng used this as the result to deduce the cause, not saying he wouldn't let his wife go out, but instead saying he would move the furniture store here.

His wife had just calmed down for a short while, sobbed twice, and shed tears again.

Xiang Xiang Hongying was stunned; Zhao Zhao Xiaowan was not a woman who liked to cry.

The glove whispered: "The mistress isn't right."

The projector exclaimed: "This is the art of a peerless beauty. Two lines of tears can break a person's heart, it's just..."

Meng De asked: "Just what?"

The projector said: "The color of the crying is blue, the color of the laughing is red. What kind of situation is blue tinged with red?"

The pendulum was very strange: "What blue tinged with red are you talking about? Why can't I see it at all?"

Li Li Banfeng glanced at the projector, then looked at Zhao Zhao Xiaowan: "Precious wife, what's wrong again?"

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan wiped her tears and said: "All these years, everyone who has seen me has treated me as a monster in a phonograph. I really feel wronged. I want to see people in my original appearance and clear my name."

The glove lowered its voice: "Has the mistress gone crazy? Does she want to reveal her identity?"

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan glared at the glove: "It's not like I'm revealing everything. I'll just leave a few words and let them figure out the rest. I just want to win this breath."

Xiang Xiang Hongying said softly: "Zhao Xiaowan, what's wrong with you? Your words just now don't sound like something you would say."

"Cheap hoof! I'll say whatever I want, what does it have to do with you?"

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan's emotions were unstable, and no one in the house dared to speak. If Li Li Banfeng tried to persuade her with kind words, he would be falling into a trap, because no matter how he persuaded her, he might anger Zhao Zhao Xiaowan.

Having been a phonograph for so many years, she had suffered many misunderstandings. This was a knot in her heart that his wife usually hid very deeply, but today it was exploited by a Fool Cultivator.

This knot was not easy to untie. Li Li Banfeng couldn't think of a way, so he just went with the flow and tied another knot outside the knot.

"Wife, who do you want to see?"

The phonograph thought for a moment: "Let's see the boss of this furniture store first. When he delivers the goods, just meet him once."

Li Li Banfeng said: "Does this furniture store boss think of you as a monster in a phonograph?"

"

His wife was stunned: "That's not it, he hasn't seen me before."

"If he hasn't seen you, how can he clear your name? You have to let him see you first, let him see what you look like as a phonograph."

2

His wife nodded: "Husband is right! Let him see what the monster looks like first, then let him see what I originally looked like!"

The slope was set up, and his wife came down. Li Li Banfeng pushed the phonograph in front of his wife.

His wife was a bit conflicted; she was conflicted about whether or not to leave the puppet's body.

This conflict was still caused by the Fool Cultivation technique. There was a Fool Cultivator in the puppet who had been controlling his wife's thoughts.

After waiting for a while, his wife suddenly left the puppet and drilled into the phonograph.

Li Li Banfeng felt a burst of joy in his heart; that Fool Cultivator seemed to have let go and didn't continue to pester his wife.

But why did this Fool Cultivator let go?

Back inside the phonograph, his wife instantly became much clearer.

She looked up at the puppet, then looked at Li Li Banfeng: "I don't know what happened to me just now, but I said a lot of willful things, making it difficult for Husband."

Li Li Banfeng shook his head: "This isn't willfulness. Wife, you have indeed been wronged these years. Wait until I deal with this puppet first, then I'll listen to you talk about the bitterness of these years."

Having coaxed his wife, Li Li Banfeng turned to look at the puppet.

The phonograph raised the stylus and said: "This matter doesn't need Husband to do it; I can dispose of her myself."

Xiang Xiang Hongying pushed the phonograph aside: "Zhao Xiaowan, you go hide in another room."

"Why let me hide?"

"Because you can't bring yourself to do it!" Xiang Xiang Hongying stared at the puppet, "Don't say it's you, even I can't bring myself to do it. This thing is too much like you, Zhao Xiaowan, hurry and hide!"

The puppet, which had been still, suddenly spoke: "You don't need to hide, let me hide for a while. Li Qi, can I speak to you alone?"

The group of magic treasures were all stunned. Xiang Xiang Hongying immediately drew her sword.

This puppet was actually hiding a person, hiding another person's soul!

The phonograph blocked Li Li Banfeng: "Husband cannot go."

The Leaving Suishenju suddenly spoke: "Girl, let him go, I'm watching."

Li Li Banfeng hugged his wife and walked to the puppet: "What do you have to say? Where do you want to say it?"

"Go to where I live." After speaking, the puppet went silent.

The soul inside had left.

Xiang Xiang Hongying said: "Where does she live?"

Li Li Banfeng said: "She lives in the Ninth Room."

The one hidden in the puppet was the Ninth Room girl. It was she who used the Fool Cultivation technique on his wife, causing his wife to be so abnormal.

When he first went to the Ninth Room to find her, it was to have her translate the board writing of the Birch Hidden Cultivation Society. She translated it randomly, wrote a completely irrelevant paragraph, and almost tricked Li Li Banfeng.

No one in the family could see through her methods, but only the Judge's Pen couldn't be tricked, because the Lazy Cultivation technique restrained the Fool Cultivation technique. From that time on, Li Li Banfeng concluded that the Ninth Room girl was a Fool Cultivator.

Although Li Li Banfeng was also a Fool Cultivator, he himself was also a bit afraid of Fool Cultivators. During this time, he had been guarding against the Ninth Room, but he didn't expect her to actually use the puppet to attack his wife.

Li Li Banfeng entered the Ninth Room. The phonograph and Xiang Xiang Hongying guarded the door and listened quietly, but they couldn't hear the movement inside the room. The sound of the Ninth Room was blocked by the Leaving Suishenju, and Did Honglian was also moved out by Li Li Banfeng.

Closing the door, before Li Li Banfeng could speak, the Ninth Room girl asked first: "Just now, you used 'Reaping the Fruit from the Cause' and 'Going Down the Slope' on your woman, right?"

Li Li Banfeng didn't speak, and the Ninth Room girl asked again: "Who did you learn your technique from?"

Li Li Banfeng still remained silent.

The Ninth Room girl simply guessed: "Is it from Sun Sun Tiecheng?"

Li Li Banfeng remained silent. The old man spoke: "Ah Qi, if you trust me, tell her."

Li Li Banfeng nodded slightly.

"Is he still alive?" The Ninth Room girl's voice trembled slightly.

Li Li Banfeng said: "I don't know if he counts as alive, he can eat, sleep, walk, and fight."

The Ninth Room girl was silent for a long while, then asked Li Li Banfeng: "Is Fool City still there?"

"Yes, inns, taverns, all kinds of businesses are there."

"There's a big clock tower in the city, is it still there?"

"Yes, it's still the highest place in the city."

"There's a small market in the city, is it still there?"

"Yes, but there aren't many people buying vegetables..."

The Ninth Room girl asked about this and that for a long time, wishing she could ask about every corner of Fool City.

After asking about Fool City, she asked about Li Li Banfeng: "Have you used Daoist medicinal powder?"

"Are you a disciple of my Daoist sect or a cultivator?"

For Fool Cultivators, there was a clear distinction between disciples and cultivators. Disciples only mastered some techniques,

only cultivators counted as having entered the Fool Cultivation sect.

The Leaving Suishenju said: "Ah Qi, tell her."

After a long silence, Li Li Banfeng said: "I am a cultivator."

The Ninth Room was quiet for a long time. Li Li Banfeng wasn't wearing the silk-pulling earrings, and he wasn't carrying any magic treasures on him.

But he vaguely heard some sobbing.

She was crying?

Why was she crying?

"I, the technique I just used, is called 'Speaking of Sourness and Bitterness,' bringing out the opponent's bitter things, making the opponent lose their mind between sourness and bitterness.

The essence of the technique lies in grasping the enemy's bitter vital point. If you encounter an unfamiliar enemy,

you must find a way to make them pour out their bitterness."

The Ninth Room girl earnestly taught the technique of "Speaking of Sourness and Bitterness" to Li Li Banfeng. After Li Li Banfeng finished listening, he said expressionlessly: "Why did you harm my wife?"

"I didn't want to harm her, I just wanted to get out of here, I want to see Fool City again, even if it's just for one look."

"You miss Fool City that much?"

"I do, I really do." The Ninth Room girl thought Li Li Banfeng could let her out, and said sincerely, "From the day Fool City suffered disaster, I have been thinking about whether I could see Fool City one more time in this life. I dream about it every... You used a technique on me?"

"Yes." Li Li Banfeng nodded. He didn't intend to let the Ninth Room girl out. He was listening to the Ninth Room girl pour out her bitterness, waiting for her to lose her mind, and then directly send her to ashes.

"You want to kill me?" The Ninth Room girl asked with a trembling voice.

"You touched my wife, I shouldn't keep you." Li Li Banfeng still had no expression.

"Can you let me see Fool City one more time?" The Ninth Room girl's tone was full of pleading.

"No." Li Li Banfeng's tone was calm, but his attitude was very firm.

"Fine, knowing Fool City is still there, I am satisfied. You learned the technique from Sun Sun Tiecheng, you should know how to dispose of a wandering soul. You can kill me with 'Iron Evidence as a Mountain'."

Li Li Banfeng's eyes turned red, preparing to shed tears. If he cried, the Ninth Room girl would be completely dead.

"Ah Qi!" The Leaving Suishenju stopped Li Li Banfeng, "For my sake, spare her life, she can help you in the future."

After being silent for a full ten minutes, Li Li Banfeng nodded slightly: "Fine, I'll spare this life for now. Let's make a contract, you are not allowed to touch my family in the future!"

The Leaving Suishenju said: "I'll be the witness for this matter."

With the matter settled, Li Li Banfeng left the Ninth Room. At the door, he picked up Did Honglian: "Flower Hua Jiuer, our account has added another entry, it's time to settle it."

Did Honglian didn't explain; explaining was useless. Many things couldn't be hidden from the old man.

The phonograph stopped Li Li Banfeng: "Husband, let's settle this account later. This time I was schemed against,

it was because I wasn't good enough. I want to get this back myself."

Li Li Banfeng handed Did Honglian to his wife. The phonograph slowly swept the stylus across Did Honglian's body: "Little Sister, I've noted this grudge. In the future, do you want to move over and live with me, or do you still want to live in the Ninth Room?"

Did Honglian answered in a low voice: "Either way, I'll listen to your instructions."

"Still quite sensible," the phonograph laughed, "Fine, I'll let you live in the Ninth Room. Counting the previous Profound Essence Pill, you've schemed against me twice in total. Let's see if you have the ability to scheme against me a third time!"

The phonograph threw Did Honglian into the Ninth Room and turned to look at the puppet in the main room: "Husband, do you really not like my original appearance?"

Li Li Banfeng held the large horn and pressed his face against it: "Wife, I like you in any appearance."

"Then, keep this puppet for now?"

"If Wife wants to keep it, then keep it. Wife makes the decisions for things at home." Li Li Banfeng held the phonograph and waltzed all the way, taking his wife to the furniture store to buy bookshelves.

In the Ninth Room, Did Honglian gently loosened her lotus leaves, and her heart seemed to relax as well.

The Ninth Room girl lowered her voice: "Don't be discouraged, we still have a chance."

Did Honglian laughed: "Whether you have a chance depends on your own ability, don't involve me in the future."

"If one day you can get out of here, who do you want to see the most?"

"Why do you ask this?"

"You definitely want to see the person in the sky, just like I want to return to Fool City. Some thoughts, you can't let go of in this life."

"Yes, can't let go." Did Honglian murmured.

"Where exactly is the person in the sky? Is she that good to you? Worth you worrying about her so much?"

"Is she good? Maybe she's quite good, she..." Did Honglian paused for a moment, and her tone suddenly changed, "You're fishing for information? You're fishing for information for that crazy man?"

"You're too suspicious," the Ninth Room girl laughed, "I just wanted to say a few words from the heart to you, I really treat you as a sister."
