Chapter 640: Star Technique

Lai Baifan swallowed Li Banfeng in one gulp. He stood up, intending to go outside the courtyard to gather his twelve disciples and quickly deal with the quarry business.

Before he even reached the courtyard, Lai Baifan felt an intense pain in his stomach. His body convulsed from the pain, and veins throbbed.

This Li Qi has some skill; he’s not settling down even inside the stomach. No wonder he could stir up so much trouble in Puro Province and other regions.

He couldn't move around recklessly; he needed to digest him thoroughly for a while.

Lai Baifan sat back down in the room. He caught his breath for a moment, then used a Gastronomy Cultivation technique called 'Acid River Stirring the Sea'.

The stomach acid churned in layers. Even if Li Banfeng were cast from refined steel, it would melt him.

Feeling his stomach calm down slightly, Lai Baifan used another Gastronomy Cultivation technique: 'Hundred Swallows, Hundred Transformations'.

This is a cornerstone technique of Gastronomy Cultivation. If one swallows a stone, their body becomes as hard as rock; if one swallows fire, their body can unleash flames.

Now that he had swallowed Li Qi, if digested well, he could gain many techniques from Li Qi. If digested poorly, Li Qi's high cultivation might clash with his own, causing him severe internal injuries.

This was a critical moment. The quarry matters should be handled by his subordinates first.

He sat in the room calling for someone, not everyone, only his most loyal disciple to enter the courtyard.

“Crippie, come in!”

After several calls, someone finally responded from outside.

A man limped into the courtyard. “Master, did you call for me?”

This disciple couldn't be blamed for being slow. The distance between them was already considerable, with the house and courtyard separating them. Lai Baifan had little strength at the moment, and his voice was faint.

“Crippie, respond from inside the room!”

The man entered the room. Lai Baifan lowered his voice and instructed: “Take your fellow disciples and eliminate everyone at the quarry. Leave no one alive.”

“Not a single one?” Crippie paused for a moment. “Even Manager Tie...?”

Manager Tie, also known as Tie Tuzi, was currently tied up under the window sill in the courtyard.

Tie Tuzi was Lai Baifan's grand-disciple and Crippie's junior martial nephew. Technically, they were from the same sect, and Crippie truly didn't want to harm Tie Tuzi.

Lai Baifan glared: “If I say leave no one, then leave no one. The one causing trouble at the quarry is a big figure. This matter cannot be known by others today. If word gets out, I'll even eliminate you!”

Crippie shivered and cautiously asked: “How should the bodies be disposed of?”

“Do I have to...” Lai Baifan was about to flare up when another sharp pain struck his stomach. He saw stars from the pain and nearly fell to the ground.

This Li Qi was so difficult to digest. So much stomach acid had been used, yet he still hadn't melted.

Lai Baifan tried hard to maintain a composed expression. He patiently told Crippie: “The bodies must also be disposed of. Tell them to bury them deep, so they don't get exposed when the snow melts in spring.”

Crippie nodded. Just as he reached the doorway, Lai Baifan called out again: “Idiot, close the door!”

Crippie was a bit dull, and his cultivation wasn't particularly high, but among the disciples, he was the most loyal.

Lai Baifan knew well what his other disciples were like. If they knew his condition was bad, those rascals might flee, or even turn against him.

Crippie closed the door and went into the courtyard. Just as he was about to head to the courtyard gate, he suddenly felt a beam of light shine on him.

This scared Crippie badly. This was San-tou-cha, where celestial light was a common occurrence.

He was about to go back inside to hide from the celestial light when he suddenly saw a man in a black suit and top hat appear nearby.

Wasn't this the person who came to cause trouble at the quarry?

Wasn't he just talking to Patriarch inside the house?

He hadn't seen him just now and thought he had been dealt with by the Patriarch. How did he suddenly...?

Li Banfeng's figure vanished in an instant. Crippie wasn't particularly intelligent, but he had a lot of experience. At that moment, he disregarded the celestial light and quickly searched for the other person's figure.

The other party was so fast, likely a Traveler Cultivator. If he fell victim to their 'Flowing Horse Viewing Flowers' technique, it would be deadly.

Crippie looked around and finally saw Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng was by the window sill, having killed Tie Tuzi and Ge Yugen.

Crippie was momentarily stunned. The halo around him suddenly intensified. The projector, flying in mid-air, suddenly appeared and directly absorbed Crippie.

The halo didn't dissipate. Instead, it shone on Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng immediately transformed into Crippie. He pushed open the courtyard gate and stepped outside.

Lai Baifan sat in the room, sweat streaming down his temples.

His stomach still ached terribly. There had been some commotion in the courtyard just now, as if Tie Tuzi had cried out twice.

Had Crippie messed things up again?

Lai Baifan got up and went to the window. He pushed it open and saw Tie Tuzi and Ge Yugen lying dead under the window sill.

Alright. Crippie hadn't shown mercy to Tie Tuzi. He had handled this matter well. Lai Baifan felt a bit more at ease in his mind, and his stomach also settled. He couldn't say Li Qi was completely dissolved, but at least he was softened.

“Crippie” led Lai Baifan's twelve disciples up Radish Mountain. The disciples asked: “What did Master tell us to do? You haven't said a word the whole way!”

“Crippie” lowered his voice and said: “There's a small cave on this slope. Master told us to take all the good stuff inside the cave, so that kid doesn't get a bargain.”

“Which kid gets a bargain?”

“The kid who came to cause trouble.”

“Is Master giving him the quarry?”

“Master said this person has a significant background and connections in the Customs Hall. It's not worth falling out with him over such a business. We should quickly move the good stuff out first.”

The disciples nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

This was a good assignment. However, they first needed to see what was inside the cave.

If they were magic artifacts and spiritual objects, it would be best not to touch any of them. Master would surely know about such things.

If it was real gold and silver, there was no need to be polite. Taking a bit wouldn't matter to Master.

A group of people followed “Crippie” into the cave. Deep inside the cavern, it was pitch black. “Crippie” opened the door of the Portable Abode: “Brothers, this way!”

The disciples followed him in.

“What is this place?”

“It's so dark, why didn't you light a torch?”

“Why is there a bed here? Does someone live here?”

“Oh ho! Not only a bed, but also a beautiful girl!”

Hong Ying was delighted in her heart and smiled back: “Am I beautiful?”

“Oh my god! A ghost!”

It was this person's bad luck; that one sentence set Hong Ying off.

Hong Ying swung her sword, cutting off the person's ears and nose. “Go pee and look at your reflection! See what you look like, see if *you* look like a ghost!”

The others realized something was wrong and tried to run out.

But how could they escape? Li Banfeng had already closed the main door.

Hong Ying fought for a moment, knocking down half of them. She wiped away the bloodstains; she didn't want to bother with the remaining half.

“Leave them for you to eat. I really have no appetite for such coarse ingredients.”

The Phonograph slapped Hong Ying twice: “How can you call them coarse? These people's cultivation isn't low. Your husband works hard to support the family, but you've become so picky. Whether it's simple fare or delicacies, it's all earned by your husband's efforts. Back when I first followed him, being able to eat anything was good enough. You shouldn't be so choosy. Hurry up and prepare these ingredients!”

Hong Ying snorted: “Xiao Jiu, come and prepare the ingredients!”

Ninth Mistress, with an impatient expression, went to the main chamber. It took her considerable effort to clean up the remaining few people.

Sitting nearby, she caught her breath for a moment. Then she heard Hong Ying's two mocking remarks: “Little crazy woman, you're really out of shape. Fighting a few petty thieves wore you out like this?”

Ninth Mistress snorted: “These people aren't easy to fight, and this body really isn't good. That slut Honglian just doesn't want to exert herself for me.”

The Phonograph looked at Zhao Xiaowan's puppet: “When it comes to fighting, this body isn't up to par. It might not be Honglian's fault for not trying her best; perhaps she simply has limited abilities.”

Hong Ying sat by the dressing table and chuckled: “How can a body made by others compare to flesh and blood grown by oneself? I, Hong, have this backbone; I rely on my own abilities for everything and never depend on others!”

The Phonograph rotated its horn, pressing down the flame on its chest.

Jiuer pulled out a dagger from her sleeve, smiling as she looked at Hong Ying.

In the second room, Honglian suddenly called out: “Don't gossip behind my back. Say what you have to say to my face.”

Jiuer sneered: “What if I say it to your face? The things you make just aren't good!”

“If it's not good, then don't use it!” Honglian pushed the door open slightly. “Send some food in.”

Hong Ying turned her gaze, glancing at Honglian: “You're putting on quite airs. Can't you come out and eat yourself?”

“I can come out, but the one in this room can't.”

“The one in the room?” A flame flickered up, and the Phonograph became alert.

Hong Ying looked at the crack in the door. A black shadow slowly extended out.

This wasn't Honglian's shadow. This shadow had no edges; it was completely smooth.

Hong Ying asked: “Xiao Jiuer, who originally lived in the second room?”

Ninth Mistress shook her head: “I can't remember.”

Hong Ying was a bit angry: “What rules did we set before? What does 'absolute obedience' mean? You can win, but you can't lose, right?”

Ninth Mistress said: “I'm not lying to you, I really can't remember. I just remember there seemed to be a formidable person in the second room.”

Lai Baifan sat in the room for a moment, his stomach calming down considerably.

He stood up and moved around a bit. He felt a slight bloating. Rubbing his stomach, he muttered to himself: “I guess I still haven't digested it completely.”

“How about some tea to help it go down?” Li Banfeng handed over the teapot.

Lai Baifan was startled. Looking at Li Banfeng, he said: “You are...”

“Didn't you recognize me just now? I'm Li Qi!” Li Banfeng clasped his hands in greeting. “I forgot to ask you, is it appropriate to perform a clasped-hand salute here?”

Li Banfeng had asked this question once before.

This gave Lai Baifan an illusion. He wondered if he had just had a dream.

Li Qi had been eaten by him, yet he reappeared in an instant, chatting casually with Lai Baifan, as if they had just met.

Lai Baifan was a dominant figure in San-tou-cha and had seen a lot. The illusion flashed by, and he set his doubts aside. He quickly sobered up.

A dull ache returned to his stomach. It was clearly not the right time to fight Li Qi now. Lai Baifan decided to escape.

Rushing directly past Li Banfeng would be too difficult. Lai Baifan leaped onto the roof beam, took a bite, chewed the main beam, and ate it.

The roof collapsed with a crash. Relying on his tough hide and flesh, Lai Baifan burst through the roof and directly burrowed into the forest.

Li Banfeng used his 'Path-Breaking' technique to avoid the falling roof. He pursued Lai Baifan from behind.

Lai Baifan darted and leaped, running incredibly fast. In terms of speed, he could actually keep up with Li Banfeng for a short while.

After chasing for a moment, Li Banfeng could roughly ascertain that Lai Baifan's speed was comparable to Banfeng Yi's. This proved that a portion of Banfeng Yi's techniques had already been taken by him.

He could take Banfeng Yi's techniques because Banfeng Yi was inside his stomach.

Earlier, Lai Baifan had mentioned Old Woman Ku to Li Banfeng. He said that three years ago, when Li Banfeng first arrived in Puro Province, Old Woman Ku had asked him to look after Li Qi.

When Li Banfeng first came to Puro Province, Old Woman Ku didn't know he was called Li Qi. Li Banfeng himself didn't even know his name was Li Qi.

Li Banfeng first used the name Li Qi in Yaowang Ditch. At that time, he met Ma Wu and Qin Jiu, and the name Li Qi sounded quite smooth, so he just said it casually.

There was something wrong with that statement. Li Banfeng became suspicious at the time. He quietly released Banfeng Yi and hid him in a corner of the room.

Banfeng Yi was a shadow. Coupled with the innate talent of Household Cultivators to be hard to detect, he quietly slid from under Li Banfeng's feet into the courtyard, unnoticed by Lai Baifan.

Lai Baifan opened his mouth and bit Li Banfeng's head. What he held in his mouth was indeed Li Banfeng.

But when he was about to swallow Li Banfeng, Li Banfeng and Banfeng Yi switched places.

Fortunately, precautions had been taken beforehand. If it had been Li Banfeng who was swallowed, the current situation would be very different.

Logically, this matter should also be attributed to Du Wenming. Normally, Li Banfeng's shadow use was not smooth, and his 'Heavenly Harmony' technique was intermittent. After killing Du Wenming, Li Banfeng gained considerable insight into controlling shadows, and his techniques became increasingly proficient.

The two chased for a moment. Lai Baifan burst out of the forest and entered a desolate area. As the sun shone on him, Lai Baifan shivered.

He wandered around the desolate land for a moment, feeling dizzy. He turned and jumped back into the forest.

He had gained Banfeng Yi's abilities, and also Banfeng Yi's characteristics.

Shadows cannot exist without light, yet they fear strong light. Under intense light, they feel disoriented.

After maneuvering in the forest for a moment, Lai Baifan suddenly saw a halo of light ripple beneath his feet.

What was this? A boundary? Where did a boundary come from in this place?

No!

This was a Household Cultivation technique!

Li Qi also cultivated Household Cultivation?

How could Traveler Cultivation be compatible with Household Cultivation?

Was he closing doors and windows, or expanding territory?

His abode wasn't here, so how did he use this technique?

Lai Baifan had no time to think further. The immediate priority was whether or not to jump out of the halo beneath his feet.

Jumping out would inevitably result in serious injury.

Not jumping, and fighting a Household Cultivator inside their boundary, would be too difficult.

This was the irritating aspect of Household Cultivation. Once you were at a Household Cultivator's doorstep, no response seemed appropriate.

While Lai Baifan was still hesitating, the halo suddenly slid past his feet.

How could this thing move...?

A layer of Lai Baifan's flesh was peeled away. He lay on the ground, covered in blood, sprawled on his back.

This lying posture was quite peculiar, truly like a dead toad lying motionless on its back.

Was he really dead?

To be safe, Li Banfeng first released a shadow. Then he stepped forward, ready to use 'Treading Through Ten Thousand Rivers' to crush Lai Baifan to death.

But just as one foot extended, Lai Baifan rolled over and rose. He opened his mouth, bit Li Banfeng's foot first, sucked with force, and swallowed Li Banfeng again.

Lai Baifan sat on the ground, rubbing his stomach.

He truly hadn't expected this kid to cultivate both Household and Traveler paths.

Household Cultivators have the 'Shadow Suspension' technique. Could it be that what he swallowed before was Li Qi's shadow?

But Lai Baifan had seen the 'Shadow Suspension' technique. Although shadows could move, they were very different from real people. How could he not distinguish them?

Waves of intense pain interrupted Lai Baifan's thoughts. The severe stomach ache was relentless, causing sweat to pour down him. Lai Baifan gritted his teeth and slowly walked out of the forest.

No matter what technique Li Qi used, and no matter whether he had swallowed a shadow or a fake body before, now that both were swallowed, Li Qi surely couldn't get out. All that was left was to slowly digest him.

He hesitated whether to go to the quarry to check. No one could be left alive at the quarry. But in Lai Baifan's current state, being seen by too many people might not be a good thing.

As he hesitated, Lai Baifan suddenly felt danger approaching. He had also learned the 'Averting Misfortune and Seeking Fortune' technique.

Where was the danger coming from?

Li Qi was still alive?

Then what were these two things in his stomach?

How could a Household Cultivator control two shadows?

What technique was Li Qi actually using?

These two things were causing a ruckus in his stomach together. Lai Baifan had used stomach acid several times, but couldn't suppress them.

Indeed, stomach acid couldn't suppress shadows. But Lai Baifan's stomach had copper walls and iron barriers. He was certain these two things couldn't get out.

He stood on the ground for a while. Suddenly, he fell backward, once again sprawled on his back.

Li Banfeng was utterly confused. They hadn't even fought yet, so why was Lai Baifan on his back again?

After a moment of thought, Li Banfeng realized something. Lai Baifan could swallow a person in one gulp. Such a powerful technique should logically not be used frequently.

But after he fell on his back, his entire body entered a state of suspended animation. When he woke up, the techniques he had previously used seemed to have been reset. He could still swallow a person very smoothly.

Not only could he continuously use techniques, but his body also recovered significantly. The flesh that had been scraped away by the boundary had now mostly grown back.

Li Banfeng tried a test. He directly sent two shadows close. If Lai Baifan didn't move, he would directly hack him to death. If Lai Baifan ate both shadows, he would then figure out another plan.

As expected, as soon as the two shadows approached, Lai Baifan immediately got up. He opened his mouth, swept his tongue, wrapped both shadows into his mouth, and swallowed them.

From Lai Baifan rolling over to striking, the entire process had no delay. Lai Baifan didn't think at all, nor did he even judge the shadows' positions; he simply swallowed them.

This 'sprawled on his back' state was a very powerful maneuver. Li Banfeng couldn't infer how many more variations this maneuver would have.

Lai Baifan swayed unsteadily. Four shadows churned in his stomach, and irregular undulations were clearly visible on his body.

Li Banfeng was still pondering his next move. Lai Baifan suddenly leaped near Li Banfeng, landing on all fours, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Fortunately, Li Banfeng dodged quickly, otherwise, he would have been severely injured. Lai Baifan had actually learned 'Treading Through Ten Thousand Rivers'.

High-level Gastronomy Cultivators were truly difficult to deal with. The more he learned, the stronger he became in combat.

Lai Baifan leaped, attempting to disappear from Li Banfeng's sight.

He was going to use 'Flowing Horse Viewing Flowers'!

Li Banfeng kept pace, ensuring Lai Baifan remained within his line of sight.

Lai Baifan continuously changed positions, yet still had the energy to speak to Li Banfeng: “Li Qi, do you still want to fight? Everything you know, I know. You can't defeat me today!”

Yes, everything I know, he knows. It's indeed difficult for me to win against him.

Li Banfeng felt a pang of conflict. He suddenly realized the situation was bad; he was falling behind Lai Baifan's pace.

Was he slower than Lai Baifan?

No, Li Banfeng genuinely didn't want to fight anymore. He had been hit by a Fool Cultivation technique.

Li Banfeng's shadow could use the Fool Cultivation technique. Had Lai Baifan learned the Fool Cultivation technique too?

How long could he use it?

What other means did he have besides the Fool Cultivation technique?

Could it be that all of the shadow's techniques had been learned by him?

High-level Gastronomy Cultivators, are they this unreasonable?

Affected by the Fool Cultivation technique, Li Banfeng's steps became increasingly slow. Lai Baifan leaped forward, once again reaching Li Banfeng.

Lai Baifan had indeed used the Fool Cultivation technique just now, but he didn't know it was the Fool Cultivation technique. He only knew that Li Banfeng's movements were erratic and wanted to seize the opportunity to get close and take Li Banfeng's life.

Li Banfeng was also ready to fight to the death. He immediately released three shadows: two in front of him, and one behind.

Lai Baifan suddenly fell backward onto the ground. As soon as Li Banfeng got close, Lai Baifan extended his tongue and swept it, coiling up two shadows along with Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng switched places with the shadow behind him. The three shadows were swallowed by Lai Baifan, and Li Banfeng narrowly escaped.

“Come on, again...” Lai Baifan's body twitched violently. His stomach was about to explode.

The battle situation was unclear, and Li Banfeng's mind was somewhat dazed. He had a strange premonition; he felt the time was right.

What exact 'time' was right, Li Banfeng himself couldn't figure out.

Lai Baifan sensed danger. He smiled at Li Banfeng: “Show me whatever skills you have. Even your trump card techniques, I can learn them all.”

“I actually do have a trump card technique. Want to try learning it?”

Lai Baifan chuckled: “Arrogant, truly arrogant. If I were you, I would run for my life right now. You're young, with a bright future ahead. Put aside this arrogance, and you will surely achieve great things in the future.”

“Everything else is negotiable, but this arrogance, I really can't put it down,” Li Banfeng said. He lowered his hat brim, preparing to strike.

Danger was approaching. Lai Baifan lay on the ground again. Although the pain in his stomach was unbearable, Lai Baifan now had enough confidence to defeat Li Banfeng.

No matter what technique Li Banfeng used, and no matter from what position Li Banfeng attacked, Lai Baifan could certainly get up again before Li Banfeng could act.

Once he got up, he could neutralize any means and counterattack at any time.

Unless Li Banfeng chose to escape and save his life, if Li Banfeng dared to attack again, Lai Baifan was absolutely confident...

Lai Baifan's body split open.

'Flowing Horse Viewing Flowers'?

No!

Lai Baifan was prepared for 'Flowing Horse Viewing Flowers'; his gaze had been fixed on Li Banfeng.

'Treading Through Ten Thousand Rivers'?

Even less possible.

As long as Li Banfeng got close, he would definitely be swallowed by Lai Baifan.

Lai Baifan painfully raised his head and looked at Li Qi. Li Qi hadn't seemed to move at all.

What exactly happened just now?

Dark shadows.

Several dark shadows appeared before Lai Baifan.

Were these shadows all summoned by Li Qi? Could he summon so many?

He had to eat all of them, not leave a single one, but why could these shadows...?

Lai Baifan tried to roll over and lie down again, but found his body unresponsive.

He looked at his own body and realized that nothing he thought now mattered.

His legs detached from his body and flew off into the distance along with his arms.

His torso was covered in blood, and a massive hole ripped through his chest and abdomen.

The shadows he saw were not summoned by Li Qi; they were the ones he had swallowed earlier.

He had believed his stomach and intestines were copper walls and iron barriers. Yet, they were breached by seven shadows that drilled out from within him.

Breaking through the stomach and intestines could be understood, but what was the reason for his limbs being severed?

Who exactly was he?

What kind of technique was this?

“What technique did you just use?” Lai Baifan asked with difficulty.

Li Banfeng didn't answer. He gathered Lai Baifan's scattered body parts and sent them back to the Portable Abode.

What technique had been used just now?

According to Li Banfeng's understanding, he had used a Mad Cultivation technique: 'Five Horses Tearing the Body'.

But where did this 'Mad Cultivation' sect come from? Where was the 'Five Horses Tearing the Body' technique?

Hadn't he just made it up when he was going crazy?

Back in the Portable Abode, Lai Baifan still had one breath left.

Li Banfeng asked: “What is the name of your technique, where you lie on the ground, sprawled on your back?”

Lai Baifan's consciousness was blurry. He whispered in reply: “A Stellar Cultivation technique, 'Hundred Transformations, Hundred Flips'.”

After speaking, Lai Baifan lost consciousness.

Li Banfeng asked the Phonograph: “What does 'Stellar Cultivation technique' mean?”

The Phonograph said: “Don't rush, my dear husband. Let your servant first test if it's true.”

She ate Lai Baifan's soul, tasted it, and gently swayed her large horn: “My dear husband, tell me about his 'Hundred Transformations, Hundred Flips' technique.”

Li Banfeng described the battle. After listening, the Phonograph said slowly: “My husband, he shouldn't be lying. This is indeed a Stellar Cultivation technique. Your earlier judgment was correct. His technique for swallowing living people is called 'Gourmand's Gorge'. This technique consumes an extreme amount of physical energy. Even a Cloud-Level Three Gastronomy Cultivator can use it at most once a day. This old fellow could continuously use 'Gourmand's Gorge', proving that his cultivation had long surpassed Cloud-Level Three, reaching the Stellar Realm. He created the 'Hundred Transformations, Hundred Flips' technique himself, and it is indeed considered a Stellar Cultivation technique.”

Li Banfeng was confused: “What is the Stellar Realm?”

“The Stellar Realm is what's called 'Above the Clouds'. Many cultivators 'Above the Clouds' referred to themselves as Stellar. Who would have thought that the peddler found this name too ostentatious and forbade cultivators from using it? So the Stellar Realm became the rather rustic term 'Above the Clouds', and consequently, Stellar Cultivation techniques were also called 'Above the Clouds techniques'.”

The peddler had mentioned this before.

Li Banfeng was not concerned about 'Hundred Transformations, Hundred Flips' now; he was concerned about 'Five Horses Tearing the Body'.

“My dear, can techniques only be self-created once one reaches 'Above the Clouds'?”

Cui Tik was clearly a counterexample.

The Phonograph thought for a moment: “Logically, generally only those 'Above the Clouds' can self-create techniques. Some people can also create techniques when founding their own sects, but they may not be complete. Additionally, if a sect's techniques are incomplete, Cloud-level cultivators can also identify and fill the gaps.”

This made sense. Cui Tik was identifying and filling gaps for the Illness Cultivators.

So what was the situation with 'Five Horses Tearing the Body'?

The Phonograph looked at the door of the second room: “My husband, call Honglian out later. After everyone has finished eating, let her collect the bodies. Such good materials will surely be refined into excellent elixirs.”

“Alright, I'll go call Honglian,” Li Banfeng said blankly, heading towards the second room.

The Phonograph stopped Li Banfeng: “My husband, don't go to the second room today. Something has woken up in there, and your servant hasn't yet clarified its origin.”

“Is that so?” Li Banfeng sat on the edge of the bed, his face devoid of expression.

He didn't even care what was in the second room.

“My husband, what's on your mind?”

Li Banfeng shook his head: “Nothing is on my mind. I'm just thinking, it seems I hit the jackpot this time.”
