Chapter 784
The dragon-bone waterwheel kept spraying water at the enemy troops; a single droplet was enough to pierce a soldier's armor. That wasn't the most lethal part, however—the truly lethal part was that there were many insects in the water it sprayed.
Once these insects burrowed into skin and flesh, they could multiply by the tens of thousands within half an hour, and in two hours, they could eat a person down to the bone. This was Lu Lu Tangsheng's first-class weapon. His soldiers naturally knew how fearsome it was; seeing the waterwheel approach, no one dared to resist, and the military formation was on the verge of collapse.
Ma Wu, He He Yuxiu, and Qin Qin Tianjiu led the others to charge forward, intending to drive the enemy troops out of Tianyi City.
Lu Lu Tangsheng took out a bottle of medicinal liquid and splashed it on himself, washing away the insects covering his body.
He handed the medicinal liquid to Nian Nian Shangyou. Nian Nian Shangyou washed away the insects and said to Lu Lu Tangsheng, "Give me your second weapon."
Lu Lu Tangsheng was reluctant, but Nian Nian Shangyou frowned and said, "We've fought all the way here; do you not want the military merit within your grasp?"
After a moment of hesitation, Lu Lu Tangsheng handed a bronze mirror to Nian Nian Shangyou.
This bronze mirror was covered in green verdigris, and the mirror face was covered by a piece of blue cloth, which was also full of rust spots.
But don't you dare think it's dirty; this cloth was extremely important. Nian Nian Shangyou aimed the mirror face at the dragon-bone waterwheel and peeled off the blue cloth.
The reflection of the dragon-bone waterwheel appeared on the mirror's surface, very blurry. The dragon-bone waterwheel was unprepared, and no one else noticed Nian Nian Shangyou's actions.
Crack!
The dragon-bone waterwheel broke a leg, and its massive body lost its balance and crashed to the ground.
No one knew what had happened to the dragon-bone waterwheel. Xiao Xiao Chuanzi hurriedly stepped forward to make repairs. Nian Nian Shangyou smiled slightly.
He held the bronze mirror and continued to aim it at the waterwheel.
A hand with no flesh, only bone, appeared in the mirror, pinching the image of the waterwheel. The fingers interlaced,
and twisted the dragon bone until it snapped.
Almost at the same time, the dragon bone of the real dragon-bone waterwheel also snapped.
Xiao Xiao Chuanzi was terrified, looking at the jagged break in the dragon bone. It had clearly been snapped by someone, but apart from himself, no one else had approached the dragon-bone waterwheel.
Just as Xiao Xiao Chuanzi was about to reconnect the dragon bone, Nian Nian Shangyou aimed the bronze mirror at him.
The Xiao Chuanzi in the mirror had no flesh, only a skeleton.
That hand pinched Xiao Xiao Chuanzi's arm bone. Xiao Chuanzi felt a sharp pain in his forearm, but he didn't know the source of the pain.
Just as Xiao Chuanzi's arm bone was about to be snapped, Nian Nian Shangyou felt a sharp pain in his wrist. The mirror suddenly veered off course, Xiao Xiao Chuanzi's figure disappeared from the mirror's surface, and the sharp pain in his own arm also vanished.
Nian Nian Shangyou clutched his wrist and looked across the way, only to see a man with deep wrinkles on his face, pitted and covered in pockmarks. He was holding a slingshot, aimed at Nian Nian Shangyou.
This man was exactly Bo Luo. He had discovered Nian Nian Shangyou and also seen the image in the mirror.
Bo Luo had been a great fighter in his day, and the slingshot in his hand had killed many people, but he hadn't used it for many years, and his skills had grown rusty. This slingshot wasn't his weapon from back then, either; it was one he had made anew when the battle began.
"Everyone be careful, watch out for that bronze mirror!" Bo Luo kept reminding everyone, unable to suppress his annoyance.
That last shot should have hit the head, but even if it had hit the head, could it have killed Nian Nian Shangyou?
This bronze mirror was hard to defend against, and Nian Nian Shangyou had become quite cunning; he hid behind the soldiers, occasionally poking the mirror out for a moment.
Snap!
Ma Wu's leg bone was snapped, and one of his wings collapsed to the ground.
Nian Nian Shangyou locked onto Ma Wu with the bronze mirror and muttered, "Snap his neck bone, kill him!"
Muttering was useless; this mirror had a flaw—it could only randomly snap a certain bone.
Ma Wu felt a sharp pain under his ribs, and just as his ribs were about to snap, Xiao Yeci held up a mercury mirror, blocking the bronze mirror's line of sight.
Mirror against mirror; Xiao Yeci felt this move could counter the bronze mirror.
She was being a bit wishful. The bronze mirror was a first-class weapon; how could it be countered so easily? Nian Nian Shangyou adjusted the angle slightly, and the bronze mirror reflected Xiao Yeci's leg bone. The white bone hand in the mirror twisted and snapped, and Xiao Yeci also collapsed to the ground.
Nian Nian Shangyou took his shot and left, changing locations, holding the mirror to continue finding people. This time, he aimed at He He Yuxiu, who was in the middle of a fight.
The mirror had already reflected He He Yuxiu's skeleton, when Lu Lu Chunying suddenly threw out an Eight Immortals table. The table happened to block the front of He He Yuxiu, obstructing the bronze mirror's line of sight.
Nian Nian Shangyou was stunned. How did she throw that table so accurately?
There was a technique here!
Nian Nian Shangyou was a veteran of battle after all; he could see that Lu Lu Chunying hadn't just thrown the table casually. She had used a path-breaking technique; the table was a tool for her path-breaking. He guessed her technique wasn't very refined, so she had used such a clever method.
Nian Nian Shangyou ignored the table and aimed the mirror directly at Lu Lu Chunying. This little girl was too smart; people like this were a huge threat on the battlefield.
Lu Lu Chunying sensed the danger and, relying on her speed, darted back and forth on the street.
Nian Nian Shangyou was experienced and judged Lu Lu Chunying's path. Just as he was about to lock onto her, the bronze mirror suddenly slipped from his hand.
Where did the mirror go?
Nian Nian Shangyou was startled. He looked up and saw the mirror resting on the Eight Immortals table from before, the mirror face aimed directly at himself.
Nian Nian Shangyou hurriedly dodged, and the Eight Immortals table, carrying the mirror, opened its four legs and ran off into the distance.
Lu Lu Tangsheng was anxious; that was his most precious weapon, far more precious than the Three-Eyed Fire.
He rushed up to the table, wanting to snatch the mirror back, but heard the table speak: "Don't mess around. The mirror belongs on the table. It was hard enough for me to get things organized; don't you come here making a mess."
This Eight Immortals table was also a first-class weapon. When Li Li Banfeng first arrived in Xiao Capital, he forced Lan Qiao Yi to give him three first-class weapons, and one of them was this table.
This table knew how to tidy things up; he didn't know why it had taken the bronze mirror, but the table wasn't very fast.
Lu Lu Tangsheng caught up in two steps, and just as he was about to snatch the mirror back, He He Yuxiu kicked Lu Lu Tangsheng far away.
Lu Lu Tangsheng had only been thinking about getting the mirror, without considering who was standing behind the Eight Immortals table.
This kick snapped his chest bones. Before Lu Lu Tangsheng could even stand up, Qin Qin Xiaopang, relying on his thick skin and sturdy flesh, charged straight at Lu Lu Tangsheng, braving the rain of arrows.
Having fought his whole life, Lu Lu Tangsheng wasn't a coward. He held the Three-Eyed Fire and fired three shots in a row at Qin Xiaopang.
This weapon didn't use gunpowder, so its power and speed were a bit lacking, but the three projectiles were aimed accurately, all flying toward Qin Qin Tianjiu's face.
If Qin Qin Xiaopang dodged, Lu Lu Tangsheng would find a chance to escape; if Qin Qin Xiaopang took it head-on, the insects would burrow into his body.
But Lu Lu Tangsheng really couldn't understand Qin Qin Xiaopang's response. Qin Qin Xiaopang opened his mouth, took a deep breath, sucked the three projectiles into his mouth, and swallowed them.
What was he doing? Was he in such a hurry to die?
Not only was Lu Lu Tangsheng confused, even Ma Wu was terrified: "Brother, you can't eat that!"
Qin Xiaopang ignored him, reaching Lu Lu Tangsheng in two steps. Lu Lu Tangsheng fired three more shots, and Qin Xiaopang ate them all the same.
Lu Lu Tangsheng pulled the trigger, wanting to fire again, but Qin Xiaopang stepped forward and bit the barrel in half, chewed it, and swallowed it.
"You—" Lu Lu Tangsheng's eyes turned red with heartache.
Qin Qin Xiaopang stepped forward and took another bite, eating the remaining half of the weapon, along with one of Lu Lu Tangsheng's hands.
Lu Lu Tangsheng let out a shrill cry of agony. In the end, Nian Nian Shangyou still remembered their old friendship. He took out his trump card: on his face, there were a total of eight fish whiskers, two on the upper lip and six on the lower lip.
He plucked the third whisker from the left side of his lower lip and threw it at Qin Qin Tianjiu. This whisker pierced into Qin Qin Xiaopang's left cheek, growing rapidly, passing through his oral cavity until it pierced through Qin Qin Tianjiu's right cheek.
Qin Qin Tianjiu didn't know what had happened. The whisker pierced through both cheeks; he stood where he was, motionless, seemingly not feeling any pain, showing absolutely no reaction.
Nian Nian Shangyou took the opportunity to save Lu Lu Tangsheng. Lu Lu Tangsheng had lost a hand and was in excruciating pain, but for the moment, his life was not in danger.
Qin Qin Tianjiu's situation was not good. He was still standing where he was, and the whisker that had drilled out of his right cheek continued to grow, reaching over a foot long, before suddenly bending and piercing toward Qin Qin Tianjiu's brow.
Ma Wu limped over, grabbed the whisker, and pulled hard, but the whisker had grown too tough and simply wouldn't come out.
Deng Pao rushed up, smeared some oil on the whisker, and used the unique "inch-strength" of the oil-cultivators to pull the whisker out.
As soon as the whisker left his cheek, Qin Qin Tianjiu gasped twice and quickly regained his ability to move.
That whisker, taking advantage of the oil, tried to slide toward Nian Nian Shangyou. Qin Qin Tianjiu took a breath at the whisker and, like eating noodles, sucked the whisker in as well.
Deng Pao was stunned: "Ninth Master, you can eat that too?"
Ma Wu couldn't stop him even if he wanted to. He really didn't know what had happened to Qin Xiaopang. He had eaten a stomach full of insect pellets, then the Three-Eyed Fire, and now he had even eaten this whisker; he didn't know if there was any saving him.
Nian Nian Shangyou watched from afar, his heart bleeding, and said through gritted teeth: "Eat up! In a moment, it'll pierce your intestines and rot your stomach!"
He still wanted to get the whisker back, but there was a more troublesome matter at hand: He He Yuxiu had brought Oil Peach to the front.
These two cooperated with remarkable tacit understanding. Oil Peach used the "flirting and teasing" technique, and a group of soldiers fell under the technique, their attacks becoming soft and powerless, and they were slaughtered by He He Yuxiu. The remaining soldiers had no heart for battle and retreated steadily.
They were Lu Lu Tangsheng's soldiers. Lu Lu Tangsheng himself was seriously injured, and his two first-class weapons were lost. Under these circumstances, how could the soldiers have any heart for fighting?
Xiao Yeci, with her broken ribs, shouted loudly: "The army is defeated like a collapsing mountain!"
Tang Yuan took out a fountain pen, flicked out some ink, and a line of text appeared in mid-air: "When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter!"
The two used the "Word Becomes Truth" technique together. Under the overlapping techniques, the soldiers lost all will to fight.
Coupled with He He Yuxiu's desperate pursuit, the enemy troops were routed all the way to the exit of Tianyi City.
Ma Wu focused his intent, and flames ignited on the ground. He used the "Joyful Fire Burns the Body" technique on Tianyi City.
This wasn't to harm Tianyi City; Tianyi City had been poisoned by the Corroded Fin Ray and was currently in a coma. Ma Wu wanted to use the Joyful Fire to stimulate Tianyi City and make it wake up as soon as possible.
Boom!
Tianyi City shook continuously; Ma Wu's method had worked.
Now, as long as they forced Nian Nian Shangyou and his group out of Tianyi City, they would have a chance to escape.
Nian Nian Shangyou was unwilling to give up. He turned back and said to the soldiers: "Notify the troops on the ships to enter the water and provide support immediately!"
The soldier returned after a short while: "Lord Nian, our warships have been surrounded."
Nian Nian Shangyou was shocked: "Surrounded by whom?"
The soldier replied: "It seems to be the people from the Bai Sun Alliance."
Nian Nian Shangyou was stunned for a moment and said to the soldier: "Hurry and ask for reinforcements from Lord Lan Qiao. This time it's a truly bitter battle!"
Lan Qiao Yi sat in the study, looking at the battered and bruised Nian Nian Shangyou.
"The altar in Hao City... lost?"
Nian Nian Shangyou wept and said: "My Lord, your subordinate fought bravely against the enemy, but was outnumbered—"
Lan Qiao Yi's cheeks trembled slightly. According to the battle report that had just arrived, the Hao City altar, which was being repaired, had been completely destroyed, and the extent of the damage was even more severe than the time it was bombed.
The Ministry of Works sent word that a large number of wandering souls were still escaping from the Great Melting Pot, and there were no other items available to replace the two missing leaves for the time being.
The Ministry of War sent word that the Prince of Zhensou had learned of the attack on Dingye City and had come to inquire about the safety of his family.
The Prince of Zhensou enjoyed high prestige in the Shang Kingdom and was also a staunch supporter of Lan Qiao Yi. He had sent thirteen of his family's children to the Bandit-Quelling Camp, five of whom were in the Sharpening Edge Camp and eight in the Green Sharp Camp.
If Lan Qiao Yi remembered correctly, all thirteen of these people were on the list of the fallen.
He pondered what had happened tonight. Which route was the feint, which was the main attack, and what was the purpose of this surprise attack by Puluo Continent?
After thinking for a long time, Lan Qiao Yi only felt his thoughts were in a mess.
The Ministry of Rites reported that the Imperial Envoy Cui Cui Tike requested an audience.
"Him? Coming to see me?" Lan Qiao Yi smiled. "I also very much want to see him. Bring him in."
Upon hearing that Cui Cui Tike was coming into the study, Nian Nian Shangyou's first thought was to leave as quickly as possible.
But in the current situation, it seemed inappropriate to make any requests to Lan Qiao Yi. Nian Nian Shangyou thought it over and reminded Lan Qiao Yi: "My Lord, be very careful."
Lan Qiao Yi's face was ashen: "Things have reached this point, what's the use of being careful?"
Cui Cui Tike entered the study and bowed to Lan Qiao Yi: "Lord Lan Qiao, I have come to Chaoge on the orders of the Emperor of Great Shang to inspect government affairs. I am now urgently seeking to know some information about Hao City and Dingye City."
"Urgently?" Lan Qiao Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at Cui Cui Tike. "Regarding the situation in these two places, have you not already observed it?"
Cui Cui Tike frowned: "I am a foreigner, and your way of expressing yourself makes it very difficult for me to understand. I have received some news about Hao City and Dingye City, but this news is not detailed enough. There are many details I would like to find you to verify."
Lan Qiao Yi rubbed the armrest of his chair. He kept his palm in the center of the armrest, where a mechanism was hidden.
He adjusted his way of speaking, trying to be as straightforward and easy to understand as possible: "You just said verify? You want to know the results achieved after Puluo Continent's surprise attack?
You are deliberately humiliating me. In fact, the first link in this surprise attack of yours—you came to Chaoge in the name of an Imperial Envoy, causing Chaoge to fall into chaos. Next, Puluo Continent sent people to feint an attack on Hao Province, then took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on Dingye and Chaoge, and then joined forces with the Bai Sun Alliance to launch a surprise attack on Hao Province, finally succeeding in the chaos. Regarding the entire cause and effect, I should not be wrong, right?"
Cui Cui Tike shook his head: "I don't think what you said is accurate. Two of the terms used are very inaccurate. You said results; I think it should be called battle results. You said surprise attack; I think it should be called war."
"This counts as war?" Lan Qiao Yi laughed up at the sky. "Puluo Continent declared war on my Great Shang? You ask the Peddler if he has the guts? You hear these words yourself, yet you don't feel they are absurd?"
"This is not absurd at all," Cui Cui Tike said very calmly. "War has many forms. What ordinary people consider war might be two countries exchanging letters of war, agreeing on a time and place, and then each bringing their troops to fight. In fact, this is only one form of war.
And the situation before us is another form of war. You might feel this form is very unfair; you might feel this war had too many elements of a surprise attack.
But this is Puluo Continent's way of fighting. You lost this war; the result is just that simple."
Lan Qiao Yi's face was cold: "It is too early to talk about the result now. Do you think things will just pass like this?"
Cui Cui Tike looked at Lan Qiao Yi and said: "I know you are very unwilling. If you could have given the Bandit-Quelling Camp a little more time, if you could have received some intelligence beforehand, allowing you to make more preparations, the result of this war might have been very different.
But in reality, there are not so many 'ifs'. You have already lost, so you must calmly accept the fact of defeat."
Lan Qiao Yi's hand gripped the armrest tightly: "Forget about victory or defeat for now; I am going to take your life right now!"
Cui Cui Tike remained calm: "You can kill me. I had already made preparations before coming to Chaoge, but I hope you have also made preparations, because before I die, I will leave Chaoge with a disaster. This disaster is absolutely not something you can bear, and it may cause irreparable consequences for the entire Shang Kingdom."
Lan Qiao Yi laughed: "Do you think this situation can still be salvaged?"
Cui Cui Tike said: "I think it can be salvaged. Some things can still be covered up, and some things can also be quelled. You are an expert in this area. How exactly to do it, you must know better than I do.
What you need now is a reasonable name and a period of buffer time. I can give you the name; I am an Imperial Envoy sent by the Emperor of Shang, and I can convey the Emperor's will for you.
You need to strive for the buffer time yourself, but if you don't want to quell the war yourself, and even want to escalate the war, there will be many more sufferings waiting for you next."
Lan Qiao Yi was silent for a moment, then took his hand off the chair armrest. He asked Cui Cui Tike: "Was it you who helped the Peddler contact the Bai Sun Alliance?"
Cui Cui Tike shook his head and said: "I don't have that much ability. I am not a member of the Bai Sun Alliance. I believe you have also investigated this point. Only the Peddler could have managed to get the Bai Sun Alliance to mobilize so many troops and provide so much help."
Lan Qiao Yi looked at Cui Cui Tike and said: "What is your status in Puluo Continent?"
Cui Cui Tike said: "An ordinary person, with no special status."
"Since you are just an ordinary person, why sell your life for Puluo Continent?"
"I love Puluo Continent, love it from the bottom of my heart." Cui Cui Tike pointed to his chest. The occasion was a bit special, so he didn't unbutton his clothes.
Lan Qiao Yi nodded slightly: "Imperial Envoy, please go back and rest. I will visit your residence another day."
Cui Cui Tike left.
Lan Qiao Yi sat silently for more than half an hour, then suddenly said: "Internal affairs and diplomacy, the Peddler does not do badly in either."
Nian Nian Shangyou didn't know how to evaluate this, so he could only follow Lan Qiao Yi's lead: "Since he is the master of Puluo, naturally he has his extraordinary points."
Lan Qiao Yi ordered: "You go to Dingye City, call the surviving soldiers, and ask them: what kind of people were they who attacked the camp?"
In Gourd Village, Li Li Banfeng held a wine gourd and wiped the wound for Tou Tou Youlu.
Tou Tou Youlu looked in the mirror for a long time, looked at the wound on his skull, and sighed: "Such a handsome face, if it leaves a scar, what should I do?"
Li Li Banfeng took the opportunity to ask: "Senior, were you this handsome when you were born?"
Tou Tou Youlu moved his head up and down, indicating a nod: "I am naturally beautiful."
Li Li Banfeng was thinking about a serious question: what had happened to make him turn out like this?
Suddenly, he heard Xiang Xiang Hongying say from the side: "Seventh Brother, this big head looks quite interesting. What is his background?"
"Who are you calling a big head?" Tou Tou Youlu looked at Xiang Xiang Hongying.
Xiang Xiang Hongying sensed a wave of malice and frowned at Tou Tou Youlu: "What's wrong? Can't I say it just because your head is big?"
Tou Tou Youlu looked Xiang Xiang Hongying up and down and asked: "Why is your hair combed so high?"
Xiang Xiang Hongying said angrily: "What business is it of yours?"
The two glared at each other, and Li Li Banfeng felt waves of chill.
"Xue Yingying!" the Lady said from the side, "Don't cause trouble!"
Xiang Xiang Hongying left angrily with Zhao Zhao Xiaowan. Zhao Zhao Xiaowan knew that this big head had an extraordinary background, but she really didn't know this person.
Li Li Banfeng could also see that neither Zhao Zhao Xiaowan nor Xiang Xiang Hongying knew Tou Tou Youlu.
As a sect founder, his appearance was so unique; the Lady was knowledgeable, so she shouldn't not know him.
Xiang Xiang Hongying should even less so; she was the leader of the traveling cultivators. Even if she hadn't seen the traveling cultivator founder, she should at least have heard some rumors.
Tou Tou Youlu was very angry: "I will never forget the people who have bullied me."
Li Li Banfeng said: "Xiang Xiang Hongying didn't bully you; she just doesn't know how to talk."
Tou Tou Youlu's anger remained: "She was laughing at me. Laughing at me is bullying me!"
Li Li Banfeng didn't explain further; he continued to help Tou Tou Youlu wash his wounds.
Tou Tou Youlu sniffed and said: "I was born in Three-San San San Tou Cha. Since I was a child, many people laughed at me. Later, I didn't want to stay in Three-San San San Tou Cha, so I wandered to other places. I wanted to find a place where no one would laugh at me,
but I couldn't find one."
Li Li Banfeng said: "So you just kept wandering?"
Tou Tou Youlu nodded: "Yes, just kept wandering. Wandering and walking is also quite good, like the clouds in the sky, drifting all the way,
asking all the way, wanting to find a place to stay."
Drifting all the way, asking all the way, wanting to find a place to stay—isn't this the "Floating Clouds Ask the Post Station"?
Li Li Banfeng took out the snot-covered paper: "But I heard people say that you had an accident, and then..."
Tou Tou Youlu looked at the snot-covered paper; he was very familiar with this paper: "Some people thought I died, but they were deceived. I didn't die; I just went to Wansheng Continent.
I heard others say that there are many people in Wansheng Continent who are as handsome as me. I wanted to go over and see."
Li Li Banfeng had always been curious about Wansheng Continent: "Are the people in Wansheng Continent really all as handsome as you?"
Tou Tou Youlu raised his eyebrows: "They are still a bit worse than me! There is a person called the Heavenly Maiden; you should have heard of her.
She is a person from Wansheng Continent. She probably has about seven-tenths of my beauty!"
Li Li Banfeng compared the looks of the Heavenly Maiden and Tou Tou Youlu and felt that Tou Tou Youlu's assessment was quite fair. Compared to Tou Tou Youlu, the Heavenly Maiden looked quite mediocre.
"But why did you come back to Puluo Continent?"
Tou Tou Youlu looked into the distance: "Fang-Sheng Continent is indeed a good place; very few people there laugh at me. But I feel that Puluo Continent is still better. Although there are always people here who laugh at me, Puluo Continent is very large, and there are still many places I haven't been to. I still feel that I can find that place where no one laughs at me."
Li Li Banfeng asked: "How do you feel about Gourd Village?"
Tou Tou Youlu shook his head: "Not very good; there are also quite a few people here who laugh at me."
Li Li Banfeng asked again: "Then why do you help us fight?"
Tou Tou Youlu said: "The Peddler asked me to help you. Since the Peddler has something to ask of me, I definitely have to help.
The Peddler never laughs at me. He helped me. He said he liked people who keep wandering and are worthy of a sect, and thus there were the traveling cultivators.
I know I might never find that place, but in Puluo Continent, I have wandered to so many places. Along the way, I have seen so many beautiful sceneries, and I have seen so many beautiful girls—really so beautiful! Only such a beautiful place is worthy of me!"
Li Li Banfeng nodded: "Puluo Continent is indeed very beautiful."
Tou Tou Youlu confirmed once more: "You never laugh at me. I sincerely treat you as a friend. Tell me the truth: do you really think I am handsome?"
Li Li Banfeng nodded and said: "Not only handsome, but also overflowing with talent!"
Tou Tou Youlu was startled: "How do you know I have talent?"
"I have read 'Floating Clouds Ask the Post Station'; the literary talent is very good."
Tou Tou Youlu's eyes became a bit moist: "You understand literary talent. The last person who said my literary talent was good was a book seller. I gave him a copy of 'Floating Clouds Ask the Post Station'. Since you have such a good eye, I will also give you a copy."
In fact, there was no need to have two copies of the same book. If Xiang Xiang Hongying wanted to read it, Li Li Banfeng could just copy one for her.
But Tou Tou Youlu was so generous, so Li Li Banfeng naturally shouldn't refuse.
It was just that he only had a head, no other clothes or luggage. Where could he put "Floating Clouds Ask the Post Station"?
Tou Tou Youlu rolled into a patch of grass, took a breath with his nose, and sucked in quite a few grass leaves.
Closing his eyes and twitching his nose, Tou Tou Youlu sneezed and sprayed out a book.
Li Li Banfeng picked up the book. Sticky snot flowed slowly down the cover of the book.
The stickiness and toughness of this snot reminded Li Li Banfeng of that snot-covered paper: "Was that paper yours, or the old train's?"
Tou Tou Youlu hummed: "Eighteen Wheels secretly laughed at me. Isn't it only right that I let him help me sprinkle some?"
Li Li Banfeng wanted to see if there was any snot inside the book. He turned a page and was surprised to find that this copy of "Floating Clouds Ask the Post Station" was different from the one he had read.
PS: It seems "Floating Clouds Ask the Post Station" has more than one volume.
