Chapter 672: Who exactly is it?

Li Li Banfeng held a handkerchief and recited a name: "Jiang Linger."

Inside the Jade Yu Yu Cuilou, a woman answered.

Who answered that?

Li Li Banfeng stood up and searched all around.

The glove twitched and spat out a long sword: "Boss, this place is too creepy. Take this with you. The Tang Dao has been used for three strikes and is no longer reliable; take this for self-defense."

Li Li Banfeng took the long sword. The weapon wasn't large, but it was quite heavy. Li Li Banfeng swung it twice and asked, "I don't know how to use a sword. How do I use this thing?"

This question stumped the glove; it didn't know how these Inner Continent weapons were meant to be used either.

Li Li Banfeng carried the long sword up to the second floor. Seeing no one, he activated his Golden Eye Jinjing Qiuhao to scan the area and spotted a woman on the bed.

The woman was dressed in a blue-green gauze gown, watching Li Li Banfeng silently.

"Are you Jiang Linger?"

The woman countered, "Which one are you referring to?"

Li Li Banfeng said, "I'm talking about you."

The woman asked again, "Which one exactly?"

Her voice was very soft; Li Li Banfeng had to activate his Insightful Spirit Sound to barely hear her clearly.

The light and shadows were hazy. Li Li Banfeng walked closer, but before he could see the woman's features clearly, she vanished in the blink of an eye.

Li Li Banfeng pushed his Golden Eye Jinjing Qiuhao to its limit, searching upstairs and downstairs, but he could not find the woman.

Was this a vengeful spirit?

Even a vengeful spirit that had cultivated to the level of a Wounding Demon Fiend could not escape the Golden Eye Jinjing Qiuhao.

Li Li Banfeng was a Traveling Cultivator and Residential Cultivator at the third layer above the clouds; his reactions and speed were exceptionally fast. For this woman to vanish right in front of him—what was her cultivation level?

He couldn't stay in the Jade Yu Yu Cuilou. Li Li Banfeng had intended to find the five Luo sisters to get to the bottom of this, but before he could even walk out of the backyard, he found he couldn't keep his eyes open.

He was truly sleepy, deathly sleepy.

Just then, Luo Shaojun walked over. Li Li Banfeng said, "Arrange a place for me to stay; I need to sleep for a while."

Luo Luo Shaojun hurriedly led Li Li Banfeng to her former boudoir, chased out the concubine of Leopard Luo Yingjun, and settled Li Li Banfeng down to sleep.

"Luo Shaojun, I have something to ask you, that Jade Yu Yu Cuilou..." Before he could finish his sentence, Li Li Banfeng fell asleep.

When he opened his eyes again, Luo Shaojun was still sitting by the bed.

"Seventh Brother, the situation in the city is basically settled. Seventy percent of the ministers are willing to follow our Luo family, and the other thirty percent are being ambiguous. My sister told them to go home for now and has arranged people around their residences to keep them under surveillance."

Luo Su Lijun had managed Xingzhe Xingzhe Wujiang City for many years; Li Li Banfeng didn't need to worry about city affairs.

Li Li Banfeng was now concerned about matters outside the city: "Is Xingzhe Xingzhe Wujiang City heading toward Chaoge now?"

Luo Luo Shaojun nodded and said, "We are heading all the way to Chaoge, and it's going quite smoothly."

Li Li Banfeng said, "I hope it stays smooth. Leopard Luo Yingjun attacked me the moment we met; I suspect it has to do with the Saint. The Saint will likely strike at us again."

Luo Luo Shaojun nodded repeatedly: "Seventh Brother is right. I asked several ministers, and Leopard Luo Yingjun has been saying 'Eat the monarch's salary, be loyal to the monarch's affairs' every day lately. The one who made him a lord is likely the Saint!"

"I have already told my sister about this. She said she has increased precautions and has us sisters take turns standing guard at the Clear Insight Hall so we can respond immediately if something happens."

"My sister just went to Left Fifth Street, where several of Leopard Luo Yingjun's old subordinates live. It is said they have gathered quite a few people and are preparing to cause trouble. I don't know what quality of weapons they have, but it seems we'll have to fight them."

Li Li Banfeng unfolded the map of Xingzhe Xingzhe Wujiang City drawn by Hu Hu Chihong: "Where is Left Fifth Street?"

Luo Luo Shaojun shook her head and said, "Seventh Brother, don't worry about this. My sister will surely handle it well. Just rest peacefully."

At the mention of resting, Li Li Banfeng felt his eyelids grow heavy again. Two hours didn't seem to be enough sleep.

This shouldn't be; when did he become so sleepy?

Staring at the map for a while longer, Li Li Banfeng said, "The shape of Xingzhe Xingzhe Wujiang City really is quite peculiar."

Luo Luo Shaojun laughed: "Seventh Brother, do you think Xingzhe Xingzhe Wujiang City looks like a bug?"

Li Li Banfeng nodded.

"Seventh Brother guessed right. Do you want to see the Eyes of Xingzhe Xingzhe Wujiang City? There are inner eyes and outer eyes, and both can be seen from the Clear Insight Hall."

Li Li Banfeng had been to the Clear Insight Hall, but he hadn't seen anything at the time: "There must be some technique involved, right?"

"Yes, it requires some techniques, but they aren't the Daoist sect techniques of Puluo Continent, nor are they the Blood-Seed techniques of our Great Shang. This kind of technique should be called 'Xingzhe Xingzhe Wujiang Technique' in Puluo Continent. If Seventh Brother wants to learn, I can teach you."

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "I really do want to learn."

"Seventh Brother, come downstairs with me!"

"Alright, downstairs..."

Li Li Banfeng took a step on the stairs and froze for a long time.

"What place is this?"

Luo Luo Shaojun said, "The Jade Yu Yu Cuilou."

"Didn't I just sleep in your room? How did I end up back at the Jade Yu Yu Cuilou?" Li Li Banfeng was full of confusion.

Luo Luo Shaojun also found it strange: "I saw Seventh Brother fall asleep, so I went to help my sisters with their work. When I came back, Seventh Brother was no longer in my room."

"I searched the backyard for a long time before I found Seventh Brother here. I thought Seventh Brother didn't want to sleep in my room, or perhaps you disliked the concubine of Leopard Luo Yingjun for being unclean."

Li Li Banfeng shook his head: "I think your room is fine; this Jade Yu Yu Cuilou is the one that's unclean. From now on, I'll sleep in your room."

Luo Luo Shaojun blushed and said, "Then I will listen to Seventh Brother..."

Before Luo Luo Shaojun could finish, Li Li Banfeng pulled her and hurried downstairs.

Once downstairs, Li Li Banfeng was still pondering how he had come to the Jade Yu Yu Cuilou.

He certainly hadn't walked here himself; he must have been sent here.

With his current cultivation, who could have sent him to this place while he was asleep?

Was it the woman in the attic?

How high was her cultivation?

Thinking of this, Li Li Banfeng felt a lingering fear.

"How long will it take for us to reach Chaoge?"

Luo Luo Shaojun thought for a moment: "By my estimation, it will take about three days. Let's go to the Clear Insight Hall and see!"

In the murky seawater, visibility was less than ten meters. Apart from falling debris, nothing could be seen.

This situation made it very difficult to judge direction, but the blonde-haired, blue-eyed Lady Zuo Anna was very confident. She told He He Haiqin that this was the road to Chaoge.

He He Haiqin rubbed his forehead and took his hand off the rock wall.

Lady Zuo Anna smiled: "Tired?"

He He Haiqin nodded: "There's nothing to see outside, and it consumes a lot of stamina."

Lady Zuo Anna shook her head: "You say there's nothing to see now, but in a little while, you'll be looking outside again."

He He Haiqin frowned: "Why do you say that?"

Lady Zuo Anna smiled: "Because you don't trust me. I've met many, many people, but I've never met anyone as suspicious as you."

He He Haiqin thought of someone: "Including your brother?"

"You mean Cui Cui Tike?" Lady Zuo Anna thought for a moment, then shook her head. "Cui Cui Tike isn't that suspicious. He is very sincere to most people and things."

"And to be accurate, he isn't my brother. We just reached a cooperative relationship at the time, a cooperative relationship of mutual benefit."

Lady Zuo Anna led He He Haiqin out of the cave and onto the main street.

The main street was empty; there wasn't a single person.

It wasn't just the main street; from Left First Street to Left Eighth Street, and Right First Street to Right Eighth Street, as far as the eye could see, there wasn't a shadow of a person.

He He Haiqin said: "Actually, this small town is a bug, isn't it?"

Lady Zuo Anna asked with a hint of admiration: "How did you figure that out?"

"The main street is wide and the territory is vast because we are walking in the central nervous system of the bug. The so-called Left First to Left Eighth streets are actually the extensions of the bug's body to its eight left legs. My judgment is correct, right?"

Lady Zuo Anna nodded: "In the Great Shang Empire, this type of creature has another name; they are called 'Subject-People'."

He He Haiqin said: "I have been to the Great Shang Empire and to Chaoge. I have seen Subject-People, but I have never seen such large Subject-People."

"I have also never seen such a large sea. In my impression, Chaoge is a very large city, but it is definitely not a structure like this bug."

Lady Zuo Anna entered a teahouse, drew some water from a pressure well, put it into a teapot, and placed it on the tea stove.

Before long, the water boiled. Lady Zuo Anna skillfully brewed a pot of tea and poured a cup for He He Haiqin: "Do you want to know where the well water here comes from?"

He He Haiqin held the teacup and nodded slightly.

"Drink the tea, and I'll tell you after you drink it." Lady Zuo Anna also poured herself a cup, but she didn't drink; she kept staring at He He Haiqin.

He He Haiqin picked up the teacup and put it back down: "It seems I won't be getting an answer to this matter today."

Lady Zuo Anna picked up her teacup and drank it in one gulp: "You didn't get an answer because you are overly suspicious. The tea isn't poisoned, but you won't trust me."

He He Haiqin shrugged his eyebrows: "Why should I trust you?"

Lady Zuo Anna also shrugged her eyebrows: "Since you don't trust me, why seek answers from me? Don't you think you are a very contradictory person?"

He He Haiqin let out a long sigh: "You are just like your brother; you have a unique stubbornness when doing things."

Lady Zuo Anna shook her head: "This isn't stubbornness; this is respect for fairness. If you don't trust me, you have no right to demand that I trust you. If you don't want to pay the price, don't fantasize about getting benefits from me."

"Is there only profit in your eyes?" He He Haiqin handed a cigarette to Anna: "There is one thing I have never understood. You let Cui Cui Tike heal my father; what profit could you get from that?"

Lady Zuo Anna took the cigarette and smiled: "You want to get an answer for nothing again. Tell me first, what kind of price can you pay?"

He He Haiqin took out a blank sheet of paper: "I am going to Chaoge to retrieve some contracts. I have already listed a name list; you can add one or two names to this list."

Lady Zuo Anna picked up a pen and asked: "Can you be more direct? One or two?"

He He Haiqin said: "Different numbers have different prices. If you want to add one person, tell me first why you saved my father. Don't say it was just for money; with your methods, there are too many ways to make money."

Lady Zuo Anna held the pen and looked at the white paper, comparing the prices. After repeated comparisons, she felt this business was quite worthwhile.

"Saving your father at the time was partly due to Xiao Xiao Zhenggong's request, and partly to infiltrate the Great Shang Empire."

"Who do you want to use to infiltrate the Great Shang Empire?" He He Haiqin asked in surprise. "It couldn't be my dad, right?"

Lady Zuo Anna nodded: "It is He He Haiqin. We hoped to establish a good relationship with him through Cui Cui Tike, and thereby use his status as a ninth-layer Food Cultivator to gradually infiltrate the Great Shang Empire."

"But we failed. Although Cui Cui Tike saved He He Haiqin, he couldn't establish any friendship with him. He He Haiqin's prejudice against foreigners exceeded our expectations."

He He Haiqin said: "I don't understand this. Why do you want to infiltrate the Great Shang Empire through my father? Even if he cultivated to the tenth layer, he would only be a Subject-Person in Great Shang. Is it a bit absurd for you to infiltrate an empire through a Subject-Person? As far as I know, you have connections with quite a few upper-class people in Great Shang."

Lady Zuo Anna said: "We chose He He Haiqin because he could come into contact with another type of person: Puluo Continent people living in Great Shang. These people have formidable combat power and outstanding abilities; some can even contend with Peddlers. Your grandfather, He He Caiyuan, is one of them."

He He Haiqin waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't overestimate my grandfather; he doesn't have the ability to contend with Peddlers."

"I'm not talking about your grandfather; I'm talking about the 'Dependents' in their group."

"This group compensates to a certain extent for the Great Shang Empire's weakness in individual combat power. This poses a huge threat to Puluo Continent, Earth, and even our planet."

"If He He Haiqin could successfully enter the Great Shang Empire, He He Caiyuan would certainly take care of him. He would soon gain a high status in this special group. Using his status, we might be able to change the stance of this group."

He He Haiqin laughed: "You'll be disappointed. My father's stance has always been very firm: 'Learn literary and martial arts, sell them to the Imperial family.' This is his lifelong belief."

Lady Zuo Anna nodded: "That's right. He He Haiqin's actions are indeed disappointing. At the time, we had another candidate."

"Unfortunately, it was ruined by you."

"Another candidate?" He He Haiqin pondered for a moment. "You're talking about Lu Lu Dongliang, right?"

Lady Zuo Anna looked at He He Haiqin: "This is another question. If you want to ask this question, you must pay another price."

He He Haiqin didn't agree with this: "Madam, I gave you a contract of a Local Deity; you should know the value of this contract. A single answer to a question can't buy this reward."

Lady Zuo Anna shook her head and smiled: "Where is the contract?"

"I haven't received it yet."

"Then it's better to wait until you get the contract before asking some questions."

He He Haiqin looked at the white paper: "Write down the name of the contract owner. I will do my best to help you get the contract you want back."

Lady Zuo Anna wrote down three characters: Rong Rong Sijiao.

"A Local Deity who calls himself the Rongku God?" He He Haiqin was a bit surprised. "I know Rong Rong Sijiao, but he disappeared a while ago. But the title 'Rongku God' still exists. Could it be that he was left behind by Cui Cui Tike?"

Lady Zuo Anna reminded He He Haiqin again: "If you want to ask me questions, you must pay the price."

He He Haiqin continued to ask: "As far as I know, Cui Cui Tike is different from you; he is not a member of the Baiji Alliance. You want to help him get the contract; what exactly is your purpose?"

Lady Zuo Anna was a bit impatient: "I told you, we have a cooperative relationship with him. You asked so many questions; why were you so inattentive when listening to my answers?"

"The cooperation between you is of a profit-oriented nature. Cui Cui Tike hasn't brought any substantial benefits to the Baiji Alliance; at least I haven't seen him accomplish anything for you."

"On the contrary, you have been seeking benefits for Cui Cui Tike. In the matter of my father, Cui Cui Tike didn't help you achieve your goal."

"You instead helped Cui Cui Tike find a financier, Xiao Xiao Zhenggong."

"This kind of operation is hard for me to understand. This can only explain one thing: you have an unusual relationship with him. You say you aren't his sister; could it be that you are his lover, or are you wishfully thinking, treating yourself as his lover?"

Lady Zuo Anna smiled: "You are very good at angering others, but this isn't the best way to get answers. Don't be clever anymore. Instead of racking your brains to pry words out of my mouth, you'd better think about what price you can offer. When you get the contract, you will get more answers."

Bang!

The tea on the table shook.

He He Haiqin said: "Suean Town has stopped?"

Lady Zuo Anna nodded and returned to the cave, observing the situation outside.

"A city is approaching us. Suean Town doesn't want to be discovered by them, so it chose to hide for now."

He He Haiqin nodded: "I really didn't expect this bug to have such high intelligence."

"He is a person. Great Shang calls them Subject-People, but they are also people," Lady Zuo Anna reminded He He Haiqin. "Don't try to use any techniques easily, otherwise Suean Town will be exposed."

He He Haiqin touched the rock with his hand and saw a huge shadow rapidly approaching outside Suean Town.

"Is this city also transformed from a Subject-Person?"

Lady Zuo Anna nodded: "Yes, I recognize this city. Its intelligence is extremely high; it should be the Luo family's force."

Li Li Banfeng sat in the Clear Insight Hall and rubbed his forehead.

Through the Clear Insight Hall, Li Li Banfeng could see the scene outside Xingzhe Xingzhe Wujiang City, but to be honest, apart from seawater and reefs, he couldn't see anything.

"Xingzhe Xingzhe Wujiang City can recognize the road under such circumstances?"

Luo Luo Shaojun thought for a moment: "If we go by the Puluo Continent's way of saying it, Xingzhe Xingzhe Wujiang City should be considered to have the talent of a Traveling Cultivator. Recognizing the road is the talent of a Traveling Cultivator."

Li Li Banfeng said: "The whole city has the talent of a Traveling Cultivator?"

Luo Luo Shaojun laughed: "This is just a metaphor. The Great Shang Empire has no Daoist sects; true Daoist sects only exist in Puluo Continent."

Li Li Banfeng was very curious: "How do you turn people into cities?"

Luo Luo Shaojun crawled out of the conch shell, transformed into human form, and sat beside Li Li Banfeng: "Seventh Brother, I've transformed into this appearance to talk to you, so you won't be angry with me anymore, right?"

Li Li Banfeng was stunned: "What kind of logic is that?"

Luo Luo Shaojun answered seriously: "I'm such a cute little girl, I certainly don't have bad intentions. Even if you're angry, you wouldn't bear to hit me."

Li Li Banfeng nodded slightly: "Go ahead, I won't hit you."

Luo Luo Shaojun said: "Every year, the lords of various places will select the ten most robust ones from the newly born Subject-People and feed them elixir."

"This elixir is highly toxic, but if they can withstand the toxicity, these Subject-People will grow rapidly, growing dozens of times larger each year."

"The lifespan of Subject-People will also become longer. After cultivating for a hundred or several hundred years, a city can be cultivated."

Li Li Banfeng said: "Selecting ten Subject-People every year means you can cultivate ten cities a year?"

Luo Luo Shaojun shook her head: "That's not possible. Among the ten Subject-People, generally seven or eight are poisoned to death by the elixir in the year of their birth. The remaining two or three are very likely to be poisoned to death the following year."

"Out of several hundred Subject-People, perhaps only one or two can survive. Whether they can become a city depends on whether the Subject-Person's talent is good enough."

"The Luo family has worked hard for so many years, and we have only cultivated one Xingzhe Xingzhe Wujiang City. The remaining cities were all bestowed upon our ancestors by the Royal family."

"Can other cities also swim around in the sea like Xingzhe Xingzhe Wujiang City?"

"That's not the case. There are two types of cities: Moving Cities and Non-Moving Cities. Xingzhe Xingzhe Wujiang City is a Moving City, and Xingzhe Xingzhe Wujiang City is a Non-Moving City."

There is also a Xingzhe Xingzhe Wujiang City?

Li Li Banfeng asked again: "What kind of city is Chaoge?"

Luo Luo Shaojun shook her head: "It's unclear. Most people say Chaoge is a Non-Moving City; it hasn't moved for over ten thousand years. But quite a few people say Chaoge has actually moved, and more than once."

"Seventh Brother, don't worry. As long as Chaoge doesn't move, Xingzhe Xingzhe Wujiang City will certainly be able to find Chaoge. Even if Chaoge moves, Xingzhe Xingzhe Wujiang City is so smart, it will be able to find Chaoge's tracks."

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "You are the experts in this matter, so I won't interfere. Has your Jade Yu Yu Cuilou ever had ghosts before?"

Luo Luo Shaojun was stunned. After thinking for a long time, she asked: "Seventh Brother, when you say ghosts, do you mean the souls of the dead coming out to haunt?"

Li Li Banfeng nodded.

Luo Luo Shaojun blinked her eyes and said: "Seventh Brother, the customs on our two sides are different. We don't have the saying of haunting ghosts."

"After a person dies, the soul disperses its memories and re-enters reincarnation. They leave smoothly, and there's nothing to haunt."

Li Li Banfeng didn't quite understand the reincarnation of life: "In your Inner Continent reincarnation, is it all a matter of returning to the furnace to be remade?"

Luo Luo Shaojun looked around and lowered her voice: "Seventh Brother, the Clear Insight Hall is coming and going with people; it's not a place to talk. I'll take you to the library to have a look."

When they arrived at the library, Luo Luo Shaojun showed Li Li Banfeng quite a few books. According to the records in these books, the reincarnation of Inner Continent people is divided into three categories.

Sinners' reincarnation must enter the furnace to be remelted.

The reincarnation of innocent commoners and Subject-People must go to the Netherworld for random reincarnation.

The reincarnation of the Royal family, princes, ministers, and scholars must go to the Pure Land, and they will still be nobles in their next life.

What the furnace, Netherworld, and Pure Land look like, and what processes they go through, are all clearly stated.

Luo Luo Shaojun said: "What is said in these books is the legal principle of Great Shang's reincarnation. Everyone in Great Shang believes in this set of principles."

Li Li Banfeng nodded and continued flipping through the books, when he suddenly heard Luo Luo Shaojun whisper: "I don't believe it."

Li Li Banfeng put down the book and said: "Why don't you believe it?"

Luo Luo Shaojun said: "When a person dies, only the soul remains. Does Great Shang's legal principle govern souls? I have never seen any government office anywhere govern souls."

"I suspect that after people in Great Shang die, their souls all go to the furnace, regardless of whether they are guilty or innocent, and regardless of whether they are commoners or nobles; they all end up with the same fate."

"What does the furnace look like?"

Luo Luo Shaojun shook her head: "I haven't seen it. The furnace is controlled by the Royal family."

"The Luo family was once the head of the princes; how could you not have seen the furnace?"

Luo Luo Shaojun lowered her voice even more: "The furnace is guarded very strictly. Let alone princes, there aren't many in the Royal family who have seen it."

"Those formidable weapons of Great Shang all come out of the furnace. The Royal family gives us as many as they want, and we use as many as we have. If they break, we have to send them back to the Royal family."

Li Li Banfeng was stunned: "You mean, you only know how to use the weapons of the Inner Continent, but not how to make them?"

Luo Luo Shaojun gently touched Li Li Banfeng's lips, signaling him to be quieter: "Seventh Brother, I'm only telling you this; you must never tell anyone else."

"In Great Shang, apart from the Royal family, no one knows how to forge those special weapons. Anyone who says they know how to make them is lying to you!"

Li Li Banfeng was silent for a long time and asked Luo Shaojun: "Are there any books specifically explaining weapons?"

Luo Luo Shaojun shook her head: "There are no ready-made books for this, but there are records in some books. I'll find a few for Seventh Brother."

Luo Shaojun went to great lengths and finally found a few books. Li Li Banfeng had only flipped through two pages when he couldn't help but yawn.

Li Li Banfeng felt quite embarrassed; this was a bit disrespectful.

Luo Shaojun didn't mind; she asked with concern: "Seventh Brother, are you tired?"

Li Li Banfeng also found it strange: "I just slept for a long time; why am I sleepy again?"

"Seventh Brother, the breathing and meditation of Great Shang are not quite the same as Puluo Continent. You just arrived and can't adapt yet."

What is breathing and meditation?

Li Li Banfeng pondered for a moment before understanding the reason; the air composition here was different from Puluo Continent and Earth.

Luo Luo Shaojun still wanted to help Li Li Banfeng look through the books when she suddenly heard someone calling from outside: "Luo Shaojun, are you in the study?"

It was Luo Luo Yanjun's voice. Luo Shaojun responded: "Sister, I'm here."

"Hurry to the Clear Insight Hall. Xingzhe Xingzhe Wujiang City refuses to move. See if you can persuade it."

"I'm coming right away!" Luo Luo Shaojun had someone prepare food for Li Qi and hurriedly followed Luo Yanjun to the Clear Insight Hall.

Li Li Banfeng read two pages of the book, only to feel the text blurring.

He persisted in reading half a page more, and his eyelids gradually closed.

Bang!

The tea on the table trembled again. Suean Town moved.

He He Haiqin asked: "Did we dodge Xingzhe Xingzhe Wujiang City?"

Lady Zuo Anna touched the rock wall, sensed for a long time, and nodded: "We did dodge Xingzhe Xingzhe Wujiang City, but the road ahead is likely not easy to walk."

"Why is it not easy to walk?"

Lady Zuo Anna said: "Xingzhe Xingzhe Wujiang City is also heading toward Chaoge. What is the reason for this?"

He He Haiqin said: "In other words, we have to follow Xingzhe Xingzhe Wujiang City all the way?"

Lady Zuo Anna nodded: "We have to follow, and we can't let Xingzhe Xingzhe Wujiang City discover us. This journey is extremely dangerous."

He He Haiqin sighed: "I'm really curious, why do you want to take such a big risk, picking up and sending people in the Great Shang Empire trip after trip?"

Lady Zuo Anna smiled: "You have too many questions. It won't be too late to ask me when you've prepared the reward."

"Which one are you referring to?"

A woman's voice rang in Li Li Banfeng's ear.

Li Li Banfeng wasn't fully awake. He barely opened his eyes a slit and saw the woman in the blue-green gauze gown standing by his bed, her long hair hanging over his face.

"Which one exactly?" the woman spoke again.

Li Li Banfeng opened his eyes wide, his sleepiness vanishing in an instant. He quickly dodged and left the bed.

Turning back to look, there was no blue-clad woman by the bed. Apart from the curtains, there was nothing by the bed.

Activating his Golden Eye Jinjing Qiuhao, Li Li Banfeng scanned the room. He was still on the second floor of the attic, and there was nothing special.

Wait...

Why was it the attic again?

Li Li Banfeng didn't understand why he had returned to the Jade Yu Yu Cuilou!

In his shock, Luo Shaojun pushed the door and walked in: "Seventh Brother, why are you here again?"

Li Li Banfeng turned back and said: "Luo Shaojun, go and ask..."

"It's her!" A blue-clad figure floated behind Luo Luo Shaojun.

Luo Luo Shaojun had no reaction. Li Li Banfeng hugged Luo Shaojun and dodged the blue-clad figure.

The blue-clad woman missed and turned to rush toward Luo Shaojun again.

Li Li Banfeng barely dodged the blue-clad figure, hugged Luo Shaojun, and wanted to jump out of the window, but suddenly felt a sharp, burning pain on his body.

There was a barrier on the window. Li Li Banfeng used his Broken Path to clear the way, wanting to force his way through the barrier. Luo Shaojun huddled in Li Li Banfeng's arms, trembling uncontrollably.

He couldn't go out directly; Luo Luo Shaojun's conch shell was still at the door, and the two couldn't be too far apart.

Li Li Banfeng rushed to the door, took the conch shell, and prepared to open a path directly through the wall. A strand of hair suddenly brushed across Li Li Banfeng's cheek.

The blue-clad woman poked her head out from behind Li Li Banfeng and whispered in his ear: "It's her!"

Li Li Banfeng asked: "What is 'it's her'?"

The blue-clad woman's cheek pressed against Li Li Banfeng's face and she said slowly: "You said it's her."

Li Li Banfeng replied: "I said it's not, is that okay?" ===== CHAPTER 673 =====
