Chapter 612: Creatures from the Sun

Li Banfeng dragged Han Xiaoxuan into the Companion Dwelling.

It was already incredibly difficult to drag him. Without his external equipment, Han Xiaoxuan's abilities failed, and most of the dust returned to his body. This person had single-handedly created a factory, so his immense weight was not surprising.

Li Banfeng was also covered in a lot of dust. He sat on the edge of the bed, took a deep breath, and activated his "Carefree Pillow" technique. Soon, he was drenched in sweat, then began to vomit violently, coughing up a lot of phlegm and shedding many tears.

His wife heated water and had Li Banfeng take a bath. All the dust that had settled in his pores, respiratory tract, mouth, stomach, and eyes was cleaned out. This dust slowly wriggled towards Han Xiaoxuan, rapidly merging with his body.

Hong Ying looked on with some disgust. "Qilang, who is this person?" she asked.

"A person from Neizhou, made of powder," Li Banfeng replied. He held a powder box and slowly approached Han Xiaoxuan. Sensing the powder box nearing, Han Xiaoxuan woke up. The dust that had been absorbed into his body continuously dispersed outwards, spreading in layers over him.

His condition was very unstable; he could explode at any moment. Yet, his mood was surprisingly good, not at all panicked. Upon seeing Li Banfeng, he even managed to tease him. "Handsome young man, we meet again," he said. "I thought I'd never see you in this life."

The Phonograph temporarily stabilized Han Xiaoxuan's soul, then asked seriously, "Are you so concerned about my husband?"

Han Xiaoxuan looked at the Phonograph, showing no alarm. "Oh, so this handsome man is taken," he said. "Don't worry, I won't compete for affection. I'm almost gone, so as long as he remembers me, that's enough."

Li Banfeng shook his head. "It's impossible for me to have you in my heart, but perhaps my wife can have you in her stomach. Are you from Neizhou?" "Why ask that?" Han Xiaoxuan shook his head with a smile. "I don't have much time left. Can we exchange a few sweet nothings?"

The Old Teapot chuckled. "Look at your own face! Which eye of our young master could ever fancy you? Why don't you say some sweet nothings to me? I, an old man, wouldn't mind." A pot of boiling water was poured over Han Xiaoxuan, and the powerful Neizhou native showed a flicker of pain.

During the fierce battle just now, Li Banfeng had truly overlooked the Teapot. The Teapot's tea had a clear restraining effect on this Neizhou native. But despite suffering immense pain, Han Xiaoxuan still refused to say more. The Teapot was about to pour more water, but the Phonograph stopped it. "Sister, you're a tough one," it said. "I know this won't work on you."

Han Xiaoxuan was startled. "You call me 'sister' in this form?" she asked the Phonograph.

The Phonograph shifted into its puppet form, appearing as a woman, and sat beside Han Xiaoxuan. "I don't care what you look like," it said. "I can tell that you were originally a woman." Han Xiaoxuan lowered her head and smiled. "Sister, you are so beautiful. I've never seen such a lovely woman. Were your words just now sincere?"

"We are both women," the Phonograph replied. "You can surely tell if I'm sincere."

Han Xiaoxuan smiled. "Alright, just for that, I'll be your sister this once. What do you want to ask?" The Phonograph asked, "Are you a pure-blooded Neizhou native?"

Han Xiaoxuan nodded. "I am, but not entirely." "Have you been refashioned?"

"Yes, a group of us were reforged, and I became this, but my soul remained." Her soul was pure, but her body was not.

What special thing was in her body?

Zhao Xiaowan asked, "Did you have any contact with Feng Yunting back then?"

Han Xiaoxuan thought for a moment. "When you say 'back then,' I'm not sure how long ago that was. I did see her recently." The Phonograph was startled. "She's still alive?"

Han Xiaoxuan nodded. "Yes, she's alive. I learned my techniques from her." Li Banfeng asked, "Who is Feng Yunting?"

Zhao Xiaowan said, "Feng Yunting is the patriarch of the Powder Cultivation sect. Her sect was destroyed, and she was rumored to have died many years ago. I'll explain the details to my husband later. Husband, if you have any questions, ask her quickly."

Li Banfeng asked Han Xiaoxuan, "What is the purpose of your facial cream?"

"To wage war! We've already started a war against Waizhou, but Waizhou doesn't know it yet. Just like back then, when we fought Prozhou, and Prozhou didn't even realize it."

"Waizhou and Prozhou are both foolish; they never know anything, yet they always manage to win. Your luck is truly extraordinary. I wonder if you'll win this time too." Hong Ying turned and asked, "There's a war? Who's fighting whom? How are they fighting?"

The Phonograph reprimanded, "Stop interfering!"

Li Banfeng continued, "What are the consequences of using your facial cream?"

"You'll become beautiful, your skin won't be oily, and any excess oil on your body will be eaten clean by them." "Who are 'them'?"

"Fungi. Waizhou calls them 'true fungi.' I discovered this type of fungus. That day, the sun suddenly shone brightly, so I quickly hid. After the sun dimmed, I found this fungus on the mountain."

"This fungus grew very well. It was a creature from the sun, so it must have great use. I quickly told the elders. The First Elder said it should be given to the imperial court, the Second Elder said it shouldn't be spread, and the Third Elder said we should keep it ourselves, as it would surely be of great use later."

"The three elders each held their own opinions, but the First Elder grew in the middle, so everyone had to listen to the First Elder." "What does 'grew in the middle' mean?"

"Because the elder has three heads."

Li Banfeng thought of the
