Chapter 770: This TV is Good

Mu Yuejuan held the contract, her wrist trembling non-stop.

To tell the truth, she really didn't want to sign this contract.

She came to the Dark Star Bureau to find back the painting that was most important to her, and now the painting was to belong to Li Li Banfeng.

Li Li Banfeng also wanted her to do one thing. What exactly it was, the contract hadn't written clearly.

"Seventh Brother, you should at least give a hint—what do you want me to do?"

Li Li Banfeng said: "It concerns secrets; I can't tell you yet."

Ayi laughed upon hearing this: "This kid has schemes. This slut Mu Yuejuan must be guarded against carefully."

Mu Yuejuan said aggrievedly: "You haven't written clearly what the matter is. If I sign this, I'll be at your beck and call for whatever you want—this is too—"

"Hehe!" Li Li Banfeng laughed.

Mu Yuejuan couldn't see Li Qi's appearance, only hearing his cold, gloomy laughter. Just those two laughs were enough to scare Mu Yuejuan into a shudder.

"Seventh Brother, I didn't mean anything else; I was just asking about your intentions. I'm afraid I won't do the job well and you won't be satisfied." Mu Yuejuan had only her right hand left. Her fingers were truly nimble; she used her little finger and ring finger to hold the contract, dipped her thumb in the blood from her wound, and pressed her handprint.

Li Li Banfeng took the contract and led Mu Yuejuan to walk back along the road they came. Passing by the pond, Mu Yuejuan fished out her left hand, painted two black snakes, and wrapped them around the stump of her arm.

Not long ago, Mu Yuejuan had said that because her body was weak, she didn't have the ability to paint snakes. Not long after, Mu Yuejuan's ability had already recovered. In the painted world, the advantage of a Painting-Cultivator was very obvious.

Arriving at the three-way intersection, Li Li Banfeng turned back to look. Behind him were three roads, and in front of him were also three roads. The road that originally entered the garden had disappeared.

Mu Yuejuan pointed to the road leading to the pond: "After passing through the pond, it's a flower garden; after passing through the flower garden, it's the pine forest; after passing through the pine forest, it's the green vine corridor; after coming out of the green vine corridor, it's the three-way intersection again. No matter how you walk, you can't get out."

Li Li Banfeng asked: "According to your original painting, what should be after passing through the pond?"

Mu Yuejuan said: "One painting can't draw too many things. After passing through the pond, it was originally a bamboo forest; after passing through the bamboo forest, you could walk out."

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "Then let's walk the pond."

He wanted to fly over the pond but was stopped by Mu Yuejuan: "Seventh Brother, you can't fly over this pond. I painted quite a few white egrets,

and they are all very fierce. Some white egrets have been left alone for years and no longer listen to my commands.

If you fly over, those birds will definitely attack you. I know Seventh Brother won't be afraid of these few birds, but if you get hurt, it really won't be worth it."

Being able to offer a reminder at this time showed Mu Yuejuan's experience and life history. Li Li Banfeng might not be grateful to Mu Yuejuan for this,

but if Li Li Banfeng flew into the sky and was ambushed by the white egrets, Mu Yuejuan would be in mortal danger.

The two boarded the small boat in the pond. Mu Yuejuan rowed with both hands, her eyes, following the swaying ripples in the pond, looking closely at Li Li Banfeng.

Just talking about appearance, even Feng Daiku was inferior to Mu Yuejuan. If Li Li Banfeng pretended to be a gentleman, Mu Yuejuan had a hundred ways to get him hooked. Even if Li Li Banfeng kept his head down and didn't look at her, Mu Yuejuan had ways to manipulate him.

But Li Li Banfeng stared with wide eyes and looked at Mu Yuejuan for a long time, without feeling she was very pretty.

Her broken hand could already row a boat; this point made Li Li Banfeng quite interested.

Seeing Li Li Banfeng didn't take the bait, Mu Yuejuan felt bored herself and accelerated the speed of rowing. The two arrived at the opposite shore.

The shore was full of flowers. After walking for a long time in the flower bushes, they really walked to the edge of the pine forest.

"Seventh Brother, this was originally a bamboo forest." Mu Yuejuan emphasized again.

Li Li Banfeng closed his eyes, walked forward for a distance, and activated the "Hundred Flavors Baiwei Linglong" technique, carefully testing the smell in the air.

Mu Yuejuan asked from the side: "Seventh Brother, what are you smelling?"

Li Li Banfeng said: "I'm smelling to see if there is the fragrance of bamboo."

Mu Yuejuan considered her attitude; she absolutely must not laugh, nor be too serious, and must not let Li Li Banfeng feel any sense of mockery or sarcasm: "Seventh Brother, that bamboo was painted by me with ink; it has no fragrance."

Li Li Banfeng opened his eyes and stared at Mu Yuejuan for a moment. Mu Yuejuan's expression was open and honest, indicating she was speaking based on facts and definitely had no other thoughts.

"When I passed through that green vine corridor earlier, I could smell quite a bit of flower fragrance."

Mu Yuejuan explained: "Those flower fragrances were rouge I added to the ink. When I painted the train, I also added a bit of machine oil, just to make the train look realistic."

Li Li Banfeng looked at the bamboo forest: "When you painted the bamboo, why didn't you say to add some bamboo leaves?"

Mu Yuejuan bit her lip: "I painted it to the exit, so I didn't paint it that meticulously. But for the pine forest, I added some pine resin to the ink."

Li Li Banfeng went to the pine forest and smelled it; the pine resin smell was very strong.

The reason they were lost in the painting was not because they were hit by a blinding technique, but because of some means that changed the layout in the painting.

Mu Yuejuan said she was trapped in the painting because of a mechanism. What means did this mechanism use?

If it was really a change in layout, there was a method that should be able to find the exit.

Li Li Banfeng said to Mu Yuejuan: "Go to the intersection of the pine forest and the corridor, make a mark, and wait for me there."

Mu Yuejuan didn't ask for the reason and followed the instruction directly.

Taking advantage of her walking far away, Li Li Banfeng silently dripped a drop of blood, and a lightless boundary line spread out in the painted world.

No matter what it was changed into, in a limited space, the boundary line of "Closing the Door and Shutting the House" could detect the actual situation of the layout.

After more than ten minutes, the boundary line reached the edge of the painted world, and Li Li Banfeng also understood the reason for being lost.

"Picture of Vine-Pine Overlapping Shadows" had undergone severe distortion. Many scenes in the picture were connected head-to-tail, forming an eerie ring-like structure.

This means was done very exquisitely. Many trees, ponds, corridor pillars, and flowers in the painting had undergone subtle changes, to the extent that Li Li Banfeng's Traveling-Cultivator talent was also affected, so much so that even Mu Yuejuan didn't realize she had been walking in circles in her own painting.

But no matter how hidden the layout was, it would gradually become clear after being covered by the boundary line. Li Li Banfeng walked around the ring at a very fast speed and remembered every detail in the garden in his heart.

He arrived at the midpoint of the corridor and stood under the pillar at the edge of the corridor. The distance between this pillar and the two surrounding pillars was somewhat far; this was the result of spatial distortion.

Li Li Banfeng first used the "High Pillow, No Worries" technique. Within the boundary line, he was the master.

After basically controlling the surrounding environment, Li Li Banfeng used the "Connecting Wide Lian Dongfang" technique.

Since the layout had been changed, he would change it back. Restoring it to the original appearance was no longer possible, but Li Li Banfeng was confident he could dismantle the ring and turn it into a pipe.

The technique was difficult to perform. Li Li Banfeng's face was distorted, his body trembled, and he tried twice but failed.

He hadn't stayed in the painted world long enough, while the mechanism outside the painting was still exerting force, attempting to change the painting back into a ring. Li Li Banfeng said to Mu Yuejuan: "This is the bamboo forest you mentioned, but I didn't find the exit just now."

Mu Yuejuan quickly arrived at the center of the bamboo forest and stopped near a purple bamboo: "Seventh Brother, this is where the exit is, but I don't know what it's blocked by."

"Think of a way to open the door, move fast." Li Li Banfeng was sweating more and more, flowing down his cheeks from under his hat.

Mu Yuejuan shook her head: "There is a barrier here, very solid. I have to find a way to paint a door on the barrier. An ordinary door won't do; the door hole must be deep enough, the doorway must be large enough, and the door beam must be solid enough. Calculating it, it will take at least an hour."

With her painting skills, painting a door would take an hour?

She was clearly stalling for time. In the painted world, her recovery speed was astonishing. Once she recovered, she would paint a door and escape immediately. Li Li Banfeng would be trapped in the painted world and couldn't get out. By then, he wouldn't be able to get the painting, and it couldn't be considered Mu Yuejuan's breach of contract.

"Seventh Brother, I'll try to paint as fast as I can. I'll mix the pigments first, wait a moment, I'll—"

Rumble!

The purple bamboo shattered into powder. Behind the bamboo, a pitch-black hole appeared.

Li Li Banfeng used "Step Through Ten Thousand Rivers" to end the exit of the painting.

Mu Yuejuan said with tears in her eyes: "Seventh Brother, what are you doing?"

Li Li Banfeng said: "I just wanted to see what was behind the bamboo."

"My 'Vine-Pine Overlapping Shadows'—" Mu Yuejuan was about to cry.

Ayi laughed: "Deserved! Slut, telling you to play schemes!"

The Dark Star Bureau building shook. Haizhangguo woke up from her dream and picked up the rag, immediately starting to clean.

Ayi exclaimed: "This child is sensible, can eat, can sleep, can work; at a glance, she's one who will live a long life."

The duty personnel of the Investigation Section felt the situation was not right and wanted to walk toward the stairwell.

Ayi sighed: "There are always such insensible ones. I'll save you once today; consider it your good fortune."

Mi dang!

The trash can in the corridor fell over, and trash spilled all over the floor.

The duty personnel saw this, and his face changed color.

Dirty to this extent, this is unacceptable!

He hurriedly took a broom to sweep.

Li Li Banfeng and Mu Yuejuan jumped out of the painting. This painting was hanging in the stairwell, and there was a large hole in the lower left corner of the painting.

Mu Yuejuan painfully put away the painting. Li Li Banfeng asked: "Where is your most important painting?"

"It's right behind this large iron door." Mu Yuejuan slowly approached the door of the stairwell, wanting to try if the stairwell door could be opened. If she was lucky enough and it could be opened, she wanted to run away immediately.

Li Li Banfeng turned back and smiled: "Senior, walk in front."

"I, I walk in front?"

"You are leading the way, you definitely walk in front!"

Mu Yuejuan was somewhat reluctant: "Seventh Brother, it's a bit dangerous in here, and I have wounds on my body."

"No matter, if you encounter danger, I will save you."

"Seventh Brother, I can't open this door."

"If you can't open it, how do you know the painting is inside?"

"I, I could open it before, because I painted a key. Now that I have wounds on my body, the key I paint might not be useful."

"No matter, I'll help you open the door."

Li Li Banfeng put on his gloves, felt around the door for a while, and opened it.

The glove didn't have any extra movements; the whole operation process seemed to have been completed by Li Li Banfeng. In this kind of occasion, he had to leave face for the head of the house.

Pushing open the large iron door, Mu Yuejuan walked inside cautiously. This room was still in its original appearance.

The room was filled with glass cabinets of various sizes, including wire recorders, floor-standing radios, floor-standing televisions, steam sewing machines, and that very conspicuous dragon-gate planer.

The position that originally belonged to the train head was empty. It seemed the old train was indeed not here.

"Senior, where did the train head go?"

"What train head?" Mu Yuejuan was still playing dumb.

Li Li Banfeng laughed: "If you didn't see the train head, why did you paint a train in the painting?"

Mu Yuejuan didn't blush or skip a beat, raised her head and said to Li Li Banfeng: "The train has more momentum; I just wanted to scare you away." Li Li Banfeng laughed: "Senior, you really scared me. I'm really going to run now. Before I run, I'll close the door for you."

"Don't go!" Mu Yuejuan was scared out of her wits, "I'll tell you the truth. There was indeed a train here. That train crashed toward me, so I hurriedly ran. I finally ran outside the large iron door, but the stairwell door wouldn't open. When I turned back, the train had already rushed to the door.

I had nowhere to hide, so I could only hang a painting in the corridor and go into the painting to hide first. As a result, I couldn't get out after entering. Seventh Brother, every word is the truth; there's nothing fake here!"

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "I believe you. While the old train is not here, let's hurry and find that painting."

Mu Yuejuan went to find the painting, while Li Li Banfeng took off his gloves and placed them on the glass cover containing the television set.

"Brother, I'll leave it to you." Li Li Banfeng handed the Leaving Suishenju's key to the glove.

"Head of the house, watch closely." The glove carefully felt around the glass cabinet.

Li Li Banfeng stood in place, seemingly motionless.

Mu Yuejuan found her most important painting in a glass cabinet.

She didn't dare to touch it easily. Having walked the rivers and lakes for so many years, even if she wasn't familiar with the Dark Star Bureau, she knew that this glass cabinet must be full of mechanisms.

Before Mu Yuejuan could see the mechanism clearly, the glove had already opened the glass cover and gently pulled out the television set.

The television screen turned white, seemingly about to turn on.

Li Li Banfeng said: "Be very careful; you don't want to be locked up here for a lifetime."

Mu Yuejuan heard this, and the television also heard it.

The television screen dimmed.

The glove silently opened the Leaving Suishenju, sent the television set into the main room, turned back and closed the glass cover, put it on Li Li Banfeng's hand, and returned the key. The whole process didn't trigger the mechanism and didn't make a sound.

Mu Yuejuan was covered in sweat and finally opened the glass cover. Before she could touch it, Li Li Banfeng, wearing the glove, grabbed the painting first.

"Seventh Brother, this is—" Li Li Banfeng held the painting and said: "It was going to be mine anyway, what's the difference between early and late? Don't move around, slowly put the glass door down."

Mu Yuejuan handled it properly and walked to the door with Li Li Banfeng.

After closing the iron door, Li Li Banfeng put on his gloves and opened the stairwell door. Although Mu Yuejuan was happy, she felt this matter was a bit too easy.

"Seventh Brother, this building seems to be specifically used to lock me up. You are unimpeded here."

Li Li Banfeng said: "Is there anything inappropriate? I am the head of the Dark Star Bureau."

After leaving the Dark Star Bureau building, Mu Yuejuan lifted her leg and wanted to leave. Li Li Banfeng said: "Don't be in a hurry, Senior. I still have things for you to do. If you leave, where am I supposed to find you?"

Mu Yuejuan turned back and said: "Seventh Brother, don't you have 'Mist-Cloud Mirage' in your hand? You can find me from there."

"What is 'Mist-Cloud Mirage'?"

"It is that painting of mine, the foundation of my cultivation."

Li Li Banfeng looked at the painting: "It might not be so easy to find you. You also said that you have to find the correct path in the painting. Is there a simpler way?"

Mu Yuejuan was very helpless, but she knew that if she didn't leave something behind, Li Qi definitely wouldn't let her go.

She took a dangling hairpin from her head and handed it to Li Li Banfeng: "As long as you enter 'Mist-Cloud Mirage' and shake this hairpin three times, I will sense it, and by then I will come to find Seventh Brother."

Li Ban

Mu Yuejuan became even more careful.

The television's fluorescent screen dimmed.

The glove silently opened the "Personal Residence," sent the television into the main room, turned back to close the glass cover, put it on Li Li Banfeng's hand, and returned the key. The entire process didn't trigger the mechanism, nor did it make a sound.

Mu Yuejuan was covered in sweat, and finally opened the glass cover. Before she could touch it, Li Li Banfeng, wearing the glove, took a step ahead and took the scroll.

"Seventh Master, this is..." Li Li Banfeng held the scroll and said: "It was going to be mine anyway, what's the difference between sooner or later? Don't move around wildly, slowly put the glass door down."

Mu Yuejuan handled it properly and followed Li Li Banfeng to the door.

After closing the iron door, Li Li Banfeng opened the stairwell door with his glove. Although Mu Yuejuan was happy, she felt this matter was a bit too easy.

"Seventh Master, this building seems to be specifically used to lock me up, yet you are unimpeded here."

Li Li Banfeng said: "Is there anything wrong with that? I am the head of the Dark Star Bureau."

After leaving the Dark Star Bureau building, Mu Yuejuan lifted her leg to leave. Li Li Banfeng said: "Don't be in a hurry, senior. I still have things for you to do. If you leave, where will I find you?"

Mu Yuejuan turned back and said: "Seventh Master, don't you have 'Floating Clouds Asking at the Post Station' in your hand? You can find me from there."

"What is 'Floating Clouds Asking at the Post Station'?"

"It's that painting of mine, the foundation of my cultivation."

Li Li Banfeng took the scroll and looked at it: "Finding you probably won't be that easy. You also said that one has to find the correct path in the painting. Is there a simpler way?"

Mu Yuejuan was very helpless, but she knew that if she didn't leave something behind, Li Qi definitely wouldn't let her go.

She took a dangling hairpin from her head and handed it to Li Li Banfeng: "As long as you enter 'Floating Clouds Asking at the Post Station' and shake this hairpin three times, I will have a sense of it, and then I will come to find Seventh Master."

Li Li Banfeng looked at the hairpin. Having been hit by "Galloping Horse Watching Flowers," Mu Yuejuan had lost nearly half of her flesh, yet this hairpin was completely undamaged. It looked like a treasure.

Mu Yuejuan bowed slightly to Li Li Banfeng, endured the sharp pain in her heart, turned, and left.

Li Li Banfeng returned to the "Personal Residence," moved the floor television from the main hall to the fifth room, and also moved the Did Honglian to the side.

"Do you two like this television?" Li Li Banfeng touched the Did Honglian and looked at the girl in the fifth room.

The fifth room said shyly: "I have never watched television."

"Really? You have never watched it?" Li Li Banfeng was very surprised and turned to ask the Did Honglian: "Have you never watched it either?"

The Did Honglian was silent for a long time, then said to Li Li Banfeng: "Such a good television, actually you haven't watched it either. Do you know who made this television?"

"I'll look for the manufacturer."

Li Li Banfeng looked everywhere for the trademark and logo plate, when he suddenly heard the television shout: "Don't move around wildly, you dare to reach out anywhere!"

Hearing this voice, it seemed to be a young woman.

Li Li Banfeng asked: "Are you really a television?"

The television replied: "Look at me like this, if I'm not a television, what am I?"

Li Li Banfeng picked up the plug behind the machine case: "You aren't even plugged in. Can you be called a television without electricity?"

Egg~

The television laughed: "Electricity, isn't that easy to talk about? I can get some anywhere I go."

While speaking, the television switch lit up, and a woman appeared on the screen.

The woman had dyed yellow hair, the hair behind her head hanging on her shoulders, with a mass of angular orange-red bangs in front, just covering half of her right eye.

Her powder was thick, her face was white, her eyeshadow was deep, a teardrop was painted under the corner of her eye, a row of large and small earrings on each ear, deep purple lipstick on her mouth, her lips moving constantly, as if she were chewing something.

The woman looked at Li Li Banfeng, shook her head, and laughed: "Big brother, why are you dressed so unfashionably?"

Li Li Banfeng looked at his black suit: "Who are you calling unfashionable? You're dressed like a rock youth from thirty years ago.

Is this not unfashionable?"

"What's wrong with thirty years ago? The fashion of thirty years ago is still a trend today because technology is always advancing,

but aesthetics might degenerate!" While speaking, she pursed her lips, her lips slightly parted, her tongue pushed forward, and then she blew a bubble.

She had been chewing bubble gum the whole time.

Xiang Xiang Hongying happened to push the door and enter. Looking at the woman in the television, she couldn't help but wrinkle her nose: "What is that in your mouth, white and sticky, it's really disgusting."

The woman stared at Xiang Xiang Hongying: "Oh my, where did you get this outfit? I took a look and thought I had arrived at a museum."

Xiang Xiang Hongying was stunned: "What is a museum?"

The woman laughed: "It's a place where old-fashioned people like you are put in cabinets for exhibition."

"What did you say?" Xiang Xiang Hongying was furious and kicked out.

Before this foot could touch the television, a current of electricity ran from the top of her head to her feet. Xiang Xiang Hongying's body went numb and soft, and she almost fell to the ground.

The woman snorted: "I already said, aesthetics might degenerate, but technology is always advancing. What era is this? You're still doing this with me. Do you think you're filming a martial arts movie?"

Before the words fell, Xiang Xiang Hongying suddenly disappeared.

The woman was surprised: "Yo ho, what is this for?"

Bang!

Xiang Xiang Hongying appeared behind her and kicked the television.

This kick was fierce. The television flew out, hit the wall, and emitted a puff of burnt smoke.

"You crazy woman!" The screen was full of snow, and the image only recovered after a long while. The woman in the screen tidied her hairstyle: "Playing for real, huh? Fine, I'll accompany you to practice properly."

"Still want to practice? Are you worthy?" Xiang Xiang Hongying drew her sword, ready to destroy the television.

The woman in the television was a bit nervous: "Can't afford to play, huh? Copying weapons, huh? Why is your hair combed so high? What is that on your head? You wouldn't be hiding a hidden weapon, would you?"

Her hair was combed so high because there was a gun tip in her hair. This matter, most people couldn't mention.

Xiang Xiang Hongying didn't say more and raised her sword to slash.

The television pulled two antennas from the top of the machine, and sparks appeared on the antennas.

Just as the two sides were about to fight, the Did Honglian blocked in the middle: "Xiang Xiang Hongying, don't be impulsive, this television is very important."

Xiang Xiang Hongying pushed the Did Honglian away: "It's very important to you, right? Then it's definitely not a good thing."

The Projector advised: "Second Madam, this television was hard-won by Seventh Guide, you can't hurt her."

"So what if I hurt this bitch?" Xiang Xiang Hongying pushed the Projector away: "At most, Seventh Brother will beat me up, I'll accept it!"

Meng De advised: "Madam, Master is watching from the side, you must not be willful."

"So what if he's watching!" Xiang Xiang Hongying pushed Meng De away: "I have this temper, unlike you who knows how to wag your tail."

The glove stepped forward to advise: "There are outsiders here, give the head of the house some face."

"So what if I don't give it?"

The Tang Dao also came up to break up the fight: "General Hong, say less. Even a newcomer can climb on top of you, what else are you dissatisfied with?"

Xiang Xiang Hongying was furious, picked up the Tang Dao, and was about to chop the television.

Li Li Banfeng spoke: "Xue Yingying, don't make a scene, I'll send her away in a few days."

"A few days? I can't tolerate her for even a second! Send her away for me right now!" Xiang Xiang Hongying shouted hoarsely, when she suddenly heard footsteps coming from the direction of the sixth room.

"Who said she was going to be sent away?"

Hearing this voice, the Projector returned to the table, Meng De returned to the wall, the glove drilled into Li Li Banfeng's pocket, and the Tang Dao broke free from Xiang Xiang Hongying's hand and ran to the corner to stand.

Xiang Xiang Hongying tidied her clothes, hid behind Li Li Banfeng, lowered her head, and didn't say a word.

The woman in the television didn't know the situation: "Who came? What happened?"

With a creak, the door opened.

Li Li Banfeng looked at the door and said happily: "My precious wife, you're awake!"

PS: What does the wife look like now?
