Chapter 652: The Chosen One (High-energy chapter)

Mr. Kong Fang bowed respectfully to the woman before him.

This woman was the mistress of Bitter Vegetable Manor, Granny Bitter.

Granny Bitter looked at the dying Shang Shang Rongchu, then at Mr. Kong Fang, and nodded slightly. "Check the almanac before you go out next time. Take him and leave."

Mr. Kong Fang did not say another word; he hoisted Shang Shang Rongchu onto his back and immediately left the woods.

Once they were outside Ma Wu's territory and inside a mountain cave, Mr. Kong Fang finally set Shang Shang Rongchu down, took two pills from his pocket, and fed them to him.

The cave was very damp, with waves of musty odor assaulting the nose. Mr. Kong Fang looked toward the cave entrance from time to time; he was worried that Granny Bitter might change her mind and come after them.

Shang Shang Rongchu was severely injured; there was little flesh and blood left on his body, and his internal organs were more than half charred.

Fortunately, Mr. Kong Fang's pills were truly effective. After resting for a long while, Shang Shang Rongchu gradually regained the strength to speak.

He hadn't joined Snowflake Pier long ago, but he was truly loyal to Mr. Kong Fang. Even in this state, he was still explaining the previous battle: "Pier Master, I didn't expect Granny Bitter to come here. I wanted to fight her, but I truly couldn't defeat her..."

Shang Shang Rongchu's voice remained as gentle as ever, making it heartbreaking to listen to.

"Our Pier Master is a Peddler. You should still call me 'Sir' as you did before; you must not call me wrong." Mr. Kong Fang's face was covered by copper coins. Beneath the string of coins, a line of fresh blood flowed onto his lapel.

"Sir, you're hurt..." Seeing Mr. Kong Fang bleeding, Shang Shang Rongchu felt deeply distressed. In his impression, Mr. Kong Fang hadn't even exchanged blows with Granny Bitter just now.

"Guess how I got hurt?" Mr. Kong Fang took out a blood-stained copper coin.

Shang Shang Rongchu felt even more distressed: "Were you wounded by this copper coin? Isn't this coin your weapon?"

Mr. Kong Fang nodded: "It is my weapon. When I made my move, I used copper coins to save you. I used a whole handful of coins just to rescue you from the hot spring.

But as luck would have it, there was a rock with many sharp edges beside you. One of the coins hit that rock just right, ricocheted back, and struck me right in the face, fair and square."

Shang Shang Rongchu found it unbelievable.

He felt that what Mr. Kong Fang was describing wasn't a battle, but a farce in a theater.

"How could such a coincidence exist?"

Mr. Kong Fang gave a bitter laugh: "Do you find it absurd? You aren't familiar with Granny Bitter, and you've seen few of her methods. I've dealt with her many times; there are plenty of things more absurd than this.

Heaven has unpredictable winds, and people have unpredictable fortunes. Fortune and disaster lie within Granny Bitter's palms. Dealing with her involves so many dangers.

This time, my consideration was not thorough. I knew Li Qi had some friendship with Granny Bitter, but I didn't expect her to even meddle in Ma Wu's affairs. If I had known she was coming, I would never have let you risk your life."

Shang Shang Rongchu pondered for a moment and said: "Sir, Granny Bitter's arrival this time is suspicious. Given her status, it is absolutely impossible for her to watch the house for Ma Wu.

Moreover, Feng Daiku was truly fighting for her life with me just now. She had no confidence in her heart, and she was burning with inner fire; she couldn't even be sure if Granny Bitter would come.

Granny Bitter must have received the news in advance and calculated the time to arrive. Who on earth leaked the news to her? Only three people knew about this from start to finish. I think the person who leaked the news is He He Haiqin!"

"I think so too!" Mr. Kong Fang took a handkerchief, reached inside the string of coins, and wiped the blood. The blood on his face just wouldn't stop.

Shang Shang Rongchu gritted his teeth: "If it really is him, this kid is too sinister. We can't keep him."

"Let's wait and see," Mr. Kong Fang helped Shang Shang Rongchu up. "Let's leave He He Haiqin to Granny Bitter and see how she handles this matter.

When all is said and done, this matter is my fault for being impatient. He He Haiqin is a thief. No matter what status he holds today, he is ultimately a thief.

Theft doesn't choose a date; a thief cannot look at the calendar to do things. I shouldn't have pushed too hard. Now that I set the date and forced him to act, I can't blame him for playing tricks."

Shang Shang Rongchu recalled his previous experiences, and the situation was indeed just as Mr. Kong Fang said.

Ever since he mentioned setting the date for the 25th, He He Haiqin's attitude toward him had clearly changed.

Mr. Kong Fang sighed: "If Granny Bitter kills He He Haiqin, this matter is over. If she lets him go, we had best not touch him."

He He Haiqin was lying on the ground, and Ma Wu didn't know if he was still alive.

"Care not if he's dead or alive, send him on his way first!" Moth-Eater A Rou swung her broadsword, aiming straight for He He Haiqin's head.

Feng Daiku hurriedly stopped A Rou: "Don't be rash, the senior is here."

Moth-Eater A Rou looked at Granny Bitter, her face full of resentment.

She didn't understand why Granny Bitter had let the other two go. They had injured Wulang; how hateful were such people? They should have been hacked into ten thousand pieces!

Feng Daiku pulled out two strands of sentimental silk, pressed down on A Rou's head to keep her from acting recklessly, and reminded the others to lower their heads.

A Rou came from Bitter Vegetable Manor and recognized Granny Bitter, but the others might not know what kind of figure she was. They might not know what a great blessing it was to receive her help.

When He He Haiqin sent the message to Ma Ma Junyang, he asked Ma Wu to contact Granny Bitter. Ma Wu did contact her through Chu Er, but until the moment he fought Shang Shang Rongchu, Feng Daiku wasn't sure if she would come.

Ma Wu stepped forward to thank Granny Bitter. Granny Bitter waved her hand: "Forget it. Li Qi can work with peace of mind outside because he relies on your support behind him. You must be more careful in the future, and you should also give more care to Chu Huaiyuan's side."

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior." Ma Wu bowed again.

"You go first. I have a few words I want to say to him alone." Granny Bitter looked at He He Haiqin.

Ma Wu lowered his voice: "Senior, He He Haiqin sent us the message in advance, which allowed us to invite you early. I was able to escape this disaster, and I truly owe him a debt of gratitude."

Granny Bitter nodded and smiled: "I already know about the matters here. Rest assured, I won't make things difficult for him."

Ma Wu waved his hand and hurriedly left with Feng Daiku and the others.

Granny Bitter came up to He He Haiqin and kicked him: "Get up, stop pretending. Feng Daiku didn't strike you hard, and those with land-skin cultivation couldn't hurt you either."

He He Haiqin stood up and bowed to Granny Bitter first: "Thank you, Senior, for saving my life."

Granny Bitter said expressionlessly: "Don't talk nonsense. I didn't save you, nor did I intend to."

He He Haiqin bowed again: "No matter what you say, Granny, I will remember this kindness!"

Granny Bitter sneered: "You've remembered plenty of kindnesses; when have I ever seen you repay them? I truly don't understand, how did I misjudge you back then? Why did I trust you? Why did I think you were someone who could accomplish things?

Perhaps I am old and my eyes are dim, but Song Shu isn't old. Is her eyesight failing too? How could even she trust you?

Even if both our eyes were failing, is Old Train's eyesight no good either? Even he could misjudge you? If it weren't to save you, he wouldn't have been trapped in the Inner Province!"

He He Haiqin lowered his head: "This junior has not forgotten the teachings of you seniors, nor have I forgotten your kindness. My original intention has never changed."

"Since it hasn't changed, why didn't you dare to bring Did Honglian back?"

He He Haiqin endured for a long time. He didn't want to speak, but he still raised his head and replied to Granny Bitter: "If I had really brought Did Honglian back, would I still be able to stand here and talk to you today, Senior?"

Granny Bitter frowned: "You've taken all the benefits. You don't want to take risks, and you don't want to put in the effort, is that it? You said yourself you wanted to change the Puluo Province; does that no longer count?"

He He Haiqin nodded: "Senior, I indeed want to change the Puluo Province, and I am still working hard to change it to this day. But I cannot just return to Puluo Province and fight the Lord of Puluo to the death; I don't have the capital for that!"

"You still have the nerve to talk about capital?" Granny Bitter was even angrier upon hearing this. "You are young, yet you've earned the cultivation of the third layer above the clouds, and you still say you have no capital? How much capital have we invested in you back and forth?"

He He Haiqin laughed at himself: "What counts as the third layer above the clouds? Shang Shang Rongchu just now had cultivation above the clouds. He couldn't even last two rounds in front of you. How long could I hold out in front of the Lord of Puluo?"

Granny Bitter said with a dark face: "No one forced you to fight the Peddler head-on. You say you can't hold out, then how did Li Qi hold out? He was just a white lamb back then! Look at what a true hero looks like! If we had seen him earlier, we wouldn't have wasted our capital on you!"

"Senior, Li Li Banfeng has a hard fate!" He He Haiqin couldn't think of a more reasonable explanation. "The Lord of Puluo didn't kill him when he saw him. I still can't understand the reason for that now.

Later on, I understood it even less. I don't know what Li Qi experienced; I don't understand how the Lord of Puluo could even call him brother.

I don't have a fate as hard as his. If it were me, bringing Did Honglian back to Puluo Province, I might not have been able to get off the train at all. Even if I did, I might have disappeared the moment I left the station.

Senior, allow me to accumulate a few more years of cultivation. I can bring a new order to the scattered Puluo Province. I will never break the words I've spoken; I will definitely accomplish what I've promised!"

After speaking, He He Haiqin bowed deeply to Granny Bitter again.

Granny Bitter didn't speak. She didn't want to say anything more, and her figure disappeared into the woods.

Walking on the road, Granny Bitter kept thinking about one thing.

He He Haiqin was chosen by her, Old Train, and Song Shu together.

Then who chose Li Qi?

How did he manage to survive until today?

He He Haiqin wiped the wounds on his face and flew all the way back to Green Water City.

Walking on the road, He He Haiqin sighed long and said to himself: "They want to rebel, but they don't go themselves, instead pinning this deadly crime all on me.

They want to profit just after investing capital? They want to pick peaches just after planting saplings? Give me a Did Honglian and expect me to overturn the Lord of Puluo? Where in this world is there such an easy business to do?"

Returning to the film company, He He Haiqin went to his office, washed his face, changed his clothes, and calmed his mood.

Could Mr. Kong Fang come looking for him again?

It was truly possible.

But He He Haiqin wasn't too worried. He had managed to escape from Granny Bitter's hands; just for that, Mr. Kong Fang would have to think twice before making a move on him.

Resting in the office for a moment, a button on his chest began to vibrate.

It was Shen Shen Rongqing calling: "He Haiqin, the fan club is ready. Can you attend?"

"I can."

"I'll have them prepare immediately." Shen Shen Rongqing was very happy. With He He Haiqin attending in person, the level of the fan club would be quite different.

He He Haiqin arrived at the third-floor conference room, where over a hundred loyal fans of "Blood Blade Detective" were waiting.

The box office of "Blood Gun Detective," filmed by Li Qi and Ma Wu, was higher, and its influence was wider.

But the fans of He He Haiqin's "Blood Blade Detective" were indeed more loyal.

These hundred-plus people before him had been inspired by "Blood Blade Detective" to decide to discard worldly constraints, abandon the shackles of friends and family, and come to this building to join the ranks of the Hand-Foot Alliance.

He He Haiqin stood on the podium and said only one sentence: "Do you believe there will be a new Puluo Province?"

Over a hundred people answered in unison: "We believe!"

He He Haiqin nodded and said: "From today on, we are all brothers!"

Mr. Kong Fang had previously sent a batch of medicinal herbs for accumulating Dao fate, and He He Haiqin had Shen Shen Rongqing distribute them.

Two days later, there would be another fan club meeting, and the herbs for accumulating Dao fate still needed to be collected as quickly as possible.

At Three-San San San Tou Cha, Radish Mountain, and the East Stone Village pawnshop, several branch managers were chatting idly.

"Have you heard? 'Blood Blade Detective 9' is about to be released again."

"'Blood Blade' or 'Blood Gun'?"

"'Blood Blade'! 'Blood Gun' was filmed by Brother Brother Qiye and Brother Wuye; 'Blood Blade' is the film that only cultured people can understand."

"Is that thing still being filmed? Does anyone watch it?"

"There really are. Many people just love watching that. People have said, 'Blood Gun' is called street-level, while 'Blood Blade' is art."

"So art is what you can't understand? Then we won't be able to touch art in this lifetime!"

These branch managers were discussing "Blood Blade Detective," and Chi Chi Liuhe was listening quietly on the side.

This girl was a food cultivator. Because she could eat too much, she always felt a bit inferior, so she rarely spoke to others.

But mentioning "Blood Blade Detective," she really wanted to interject. She loved this movie too much. Since coming out of the New Land, she had gone to the cinema to watch every release of "Blood Blade Detective" several times. She even bought a film projector and watched it secretly at home.

She had to watch it secretly. She had heard from the street-cursing woman that "Blood Blade Detective" was filmed by the enemies of Brother Brother Qiye and Brother Wuye. Watching the enemies' films was eating inside and out.

People who eat inside and out get beaten with boards, whips, and bullets. Chi Chi Liuhe remembered the street-cursing woman's warnings and repeatedly reminded herself not to discuss "Blood Blade Detective" with others.

But "Blood Blade Detective 9" was already out, and she really wanted to see it. However, in a place like Three-San San San Tou Cha, there was no cinema to be found at all.

Xiao Chuanzi looked at Chi Chi Liuhe, leaned in close, and asked: "Sister, do you want to watch 'Blood Blade Detective'?"

Chi Chi Liuhe didn't dare to make a sound. Xiao Chuanzi was usually good to her, and she didn't want to lie, but she didn't dare to tell the truth either.

Xiao Chuanzi smiled: "You don't need to be afraid. Brother Brother Qiye doesn't mind this, but Brother Wuye really doesn't allow watching 'Blood Blade Detective.' He says there are tricks in this play.

You have to listen to Brother Wuye's words; don't go to the cinema anymore. I'll have the brothers at Black Stone Slope mail over quite a few film reels, and I'll have them mail you a complete set of 'Blood Blade Detective' as well. You can take it back to your room and watch it secretly. Do you think that'll work?"

"It will!" Chi Chi Liuhe nodded excitedly.

"I'll get you a set of 'Blood Gun Detective' too, and we can watch them together. Do you think that'll work!"

"It will!" The silly girl agreed. "Brother Xiao Chuanzi, if you have anything to do, just come to me. If I can help, I definitely won't be vague!"

Xiao Chuanzi raised his eyebrows: "It's a deal, no being vague!"

Chi Chi Liuhe was very happy, and there was another happy thing waiting for her immediately after.

The cook had arrived and called them to eat.

For Chi Chi Liuhe, eating was a major event of the day.

For the entire pawnshop, eating was also a major event, because Chi Chi Liuhe was there, and Qin Qin Xiaopang was there too; a meal had to be prepared properly.

Chi Chi Liuhe and Qin Qin Xiaopang sat at a separate table, while the others sat at another. The food was served, with cups, plates, and bowls stacked several layers high. Chi Chi Liuhe waited for a long time with her chopsticks, but Qin Qin Xiaopang didn't come.

The food was about to get cold!

Watching the steaming food go cold like this was simply torture for a food cultivator.

"Where did Brother Nine go?" Chi Chi Liuhe was anxious and went everywhere looking for Qin Xiaopang.

When she found him behind the coal pile, Chi Chi Liuhe was stunned.

Qin Qin Xiaopang was lying behind the coal pile eating coal, his mouth pitch black.

"Brother Nine, what are you..."

Qin Qin Tianjiu waved his hand, signaling Chi Chi Liuhe not to speak.

This wasn't the first time Qin Xiaopang had eaten coal. Since coming to Three-San San San Tou Cha, he had eaten it several times.

He didn't know what was wrong with himself either; whenever he saw coal, he wanted to eat it, and after eating, he had to drink large gulps of water.

He also wanted to restrain himself. Today, when it was time for the meal, he had originally intended to go to the hall to eat, but passing by the coal pile, he couldn't hold back again, plunging headfirst into the coal pile to swallow large mouthfuls of coal dust.

After swallowing dozens of catties of coal in succession, Qin Qin Xiaopang forced himself to leave the coal pile, washed his face, rinsed his mouth, and came to the dining table.

Because he had eaten too much coal, Qin Xiaopang's appetite had decreased.

The cook walked in and saw that quite a few dishes were left on the table, feeling a bit unhappy: "What's wrong, you two? Which dish isn't to your taste today?"

"They're all to our taste, they're all delicious!" Qin Qin Xiaopang waved his hand. "My sister and I discussed it today; we'll eat slowly and savor the taste. Don't worry, not a single bit of this table of food will be left!"

The cook left, and Qin Xiaopang lowered his voice to Chi Chi Liuhe: "Sister, we can't leave any. Just treat it as helping me once."

"Mm." Chi Chi Liuhe didn't know how to handle this matter either. She could only brace her stomach and eat all the remaining food.

Li Li Banfeng sat in Room Five, silently watching the scenery outside the train window.

The girl in Room Five opened a window on the wall, a window that could only be seen but not touched.

Through this window, Li Li Banfeng could see the scenery on the deck.

He could see the surging waves on the sea, and he could also see the rippling light reflected under the torches, but his gaze could never escape the cave ceiling.

This matter was unacceptable; why would the vast, boundless ocean appear inside a mountain cave?

There were live fish that had just been scooped up on the deck. There were many fish, and Li Li Banfeng couldn't even name them. There were also some creatures that Li Li Banfeng didn't even know if they were fish.

"Why do those fish have legs?" Xiang Xiang Hongying was also curious. "Not only do they have legs, they seem to have hair too."

Miss Nine snorted: "The long spears have legs too, and they sit there combing their hair every day."

Xiang Xiang Hongying grabbed a handful of green silk and smiled softly: "Envious? I'll envy you to death, you slut!"

Li Li Banfeng hugged the phonograph and was intimate for a moment. The phonograph became interested and entered the puppet's body.

Li Li Banfeng hugged Zhao Zhao Xiaowan and kissed her, then went out the door.

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan sat by the bed shedding tears.

Xiang Xiang Hongying comforted her from the side: "Don't cry, Zhao Xiaowan. This crazy man is too dense."

Tan Tan Jinxiao stood at the bow of the ship, pointed to an island in the distance, and lowered his voice: "Brother Brother Qiye, this is Raising Soil Island."

This island was very large, with no grass or trees, and no rocks could be seen; the entire island was covered in soil.

There was a mountain on the island, very high, and the top of the mountain had already connected to the cave ceiling.

The ship captain ordered the ship to stop and dock. Although this ship had been chartered by Li Li Banfeng, according to the rules of the Sea Market, even if the ship was chartered, the soil exchange could not be delayed.

This ship was very large, but 70% of the space on the ship was used to load soil. In the remaining 30% of the space, half was used to load coal—coal was the ship's fuel—and the remaining 15% allowed Li Li Banfeng to load some cargo.

Li Li Banfeng didn't have any cargo to load; he just claimed he came to the sea to relax. This situation wasn't uncommon. Both the Soil Market and the Human Market had wealthy people, and they often hired ships to go to the sea for fun. Seeing that Xiao Yeci and the two innocent ones looked so handsome, the boatmen treated Li Li Banfeng as someone who came to the sea to meet a lover.

Especially the two innocent ones; they were too special. Three-headed people weren't uncommon, but two-headed people weren't common. It's no wonder people say wealthy people still know how to play.

The large ship arrived at the pier. The ship captain saw that the time was appropriate and ordered the ship to be unloaded. Li Li Banfeng also followed and walked off the ship.

The ship captain repeatedly urged: "Several bosses, it's fine for you to get off the ship, but you must return within three hours. It'll be dawn soon."

That was truly fresh.

Having been in the Underground City for so long, this was the first time Li Li Banfeng had heard the concept of dawn.

Tan Tan Jinxiao explained from the side: "That Raising Tushan on Raising Soil Island connects upward from the cave ceiling, all the way to the outside of the mountain cave.

The territory above Raising Soil Island is not Black Yellow Beach; that place is called Blind Fire River."

Li Li Banfeng didn't understand this place name. Tan Tan Jinxiao wrote it for him once: "Blind Fire means pitch black, meaning it's dark and you can't see any lights."

Li Li Banfeng understood it literally: "So this place is dark all year round?"

That's not right; didn't the ship captain just say it would be dawn soon?

Tan Tan Jinxiao shook his head: "Blind Fire River also has day and night alternation, not much different from other places. The most special thing about this place is the sky light; it's exactly the opposite of Black Yellow Beach.

Black Yellow Beach is peaceful during the day, and there is sky light everywhere at night. Blind Fire River has sky light everywhere during the day, much fiercer than the sky light at night on Black Yellow Beach. When night comes, the sky light in Blind Fire River decreases, but it's not completely gone. Within a hundred miles, after a night passes, there must be ten or eight rays.

So passing through Blind Fire River, being pitch black all the way is peaceful, proving that the mediator has walked through safely, so it got such a name."

This Raising Soil Island actually had nothing to look at; it was all soil. Standing on the soil mountain and looking up, one could see the soil mountain extending all the way up along the cave that went from bottom to top.

Through this observation, coupled with Tan Tan Jinxiao's explanation, Li Li Banfeng somewhat understood the principle of soil exchange.

Raising Soil Island and Blind Fire River are connected. The sky light during the day in Blind Fire River will constantly fall on the soil of Raising Soil Island, which leads to the soil of Raising Soil Island accumulating a large amount of unstable dark matter.

And this type of unstable dark matter has accumulated a certain amount of dark energy inside it, and dark energy can be used as an energy source for lightless plants.

The soil here is sent to the Soil Market, where farmers in the Soil Market use this soil to plant lightless plants. After a year, the dark matter in the soil tends to stabilize, and the dark energy is exhausted, so the farmers have to send this soil back to Raising Soil Island to receive the irradiation of the dark matter flow. This is the process of re-fattening the land.

This process is truly arduous. Everyone walked around the island. Xiao Yeci recorded while asking: "Why not just set up the Soil Market on Raising Soil Island? It would save the trouble of changing the soil every year!"

Tan Tan Jinxiao shook his head: "Little sister, you didn't understand. People can't live on this island. Once it's dawn, the sky light comes down, and even houses can't block it!

Didn't you see that those unloading the ship were risking their lives? They have to work while it's dark. When it's almost dawn, every ship has to blow its whistle. Even if there is work, they can't do it, and both people and ships have to hide."

Xiao Yeci looked around: "Even filling in soil nearby to create an island would be better than changing the soil year after year like this."

Tan Tan Jinxiao didn't think so: "Even if an island is filled, the grain grown still has to be transported to the city. Transporting grain once a year isn't that troublesome, right?"

"That's two different things!" Xiao Yeci calculated seriously. "How heavy is the soil of one mu of land? The grain of one mu of land is much lighter!"

Xiao Yeci and Tan Tan Jinxiao were still arguing. Li Li Banfeng stood on the hillside and looked to the other side of the island.

Because there was absolutely no light, the visibility on the sea was very low, but Li Li Banfeng still vaguely saw a few ships on the sea.

"Are these ships here to exchange soil?"

Tan Tan Jinxiao took a look and said: "These ships aren't for exchanging soil; these are passenger ships heading to the far sea."

In the Underground City, the boundary between the far sea and the near sea is Raising Soil Island.

The ships responsible for exchanging soil all travel back and forth between the Underground City and Raising Soil Island. Only a very small number of ships sail in the far sea area.

Li Li Banfeng saw a ship that was very pleasing to the eye. The ship had a three-story cabin, and the deck was very tidy, unlike the clutter on the cargo ships. Although it was far away and he could only see the outline, this first impression was much better than the soil exchange ships.

"This ship is not bad. Let's charter it and go to the far sea to take a look."

Tan Tan Jinxiao asked: "Brother Brother Qiye, let me ask you something. What do you plan to do when you go to the far sea?

If you say you're going fishing, I have to buy some gear nearby. The fish in the far sea are not easy to deal with.

If you say you're going to play in the water, I won't prepare anything else; we'll just have fun together.

If you say you're going to play with a lover, I won't follow. The three little sisters here can serve you together; I can't help with that matter."

The three little sisters he mentioned referred to Xiao Yeci and the two innocent ones.

The two innocent ones were a bit nervous: "The three of us, cuddling in one person's arms, although we have conquered love, we have lost morality!"

The two innocent ones thought about it and felt it made sense. She looked at Juanzi and said: "Sister, come with us."

The two innocent ones couldn't understand the thinking of the two innocent ones: "Can four people together restore morality?"

"That's impossible!" The two innocent ones shook their heads. "I mean, since there's no morality anyway, it's better to drag one more person into the water."

Upon hearing this, Juanzi's cheeks turned red.

Mengzi and Xiaoshan's faces turned pale.

Li Li Banfeng looked at Tan Tan Jinxiao: "Who said I'm going to play? Is there no serious business to do when going to the far sea?"

"There is! There's plenty of serious business!" Tan Tan Jinxiao said. "Brother Brother Qiye, if you want to walk through all the islands, you have to walk for a year or half a year. There are plenty of small islands in the far sea.

If you want to find good things, I've also heard of a few places where treasures are hidden. It's not certain what you can find. If you can't find anything, Brother Brother Qiye, don't blame me.

If you want to find the lair of the Guanhuo Cave, this trip is a bit far. The place where he lives is almost at the Inner Province."

Li Li Banfeng said: "Stop! Can this sea lead to the Inner Province?"

"Yes!" Tan Tan Jinxiao nodded. "As long as you have a road permit, you can go anytime!"

"You still need a road permit?"

"That's a must! There's a boundary line on this sea. Without a road permit, we can't pass!"

PS: Can this boundary line stop the Dark Bridge Cannon? ===== CHAPTER 653 =====
