The Playful Matron, disguised as Xiao Die, arrived next to Weng Fangqu’s image.
The Projector was very tense. The other party was a high-ranking Drama Cultivator, and any prolonged delay could reveal flaws.
ng Yuchun was furious, wishing she could imdiately go up and tear the Playful Matron to pieces.
Li Banfeng remained calm. The next ten seconds were crucial.
The Playful Matron looked at "Weng Fangqu" and said, "Did you hear? I’ve got it."
"Weng Fangqu" suddenly waved his hand and slashed the Playful Matron’s face with great speed.
The Playful Matron covered his cheek, astonished, "You old bastard, playing dirty!"
Weng Fangqu’s expression was fierce as he raised his hand to strike again.
The Playful Matron shouted, "You dare? I haven’t accepted your offering!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Playful Matron started to run.
He worried that Weng Fangqu would catch up to him. Whether he had actually accepted Weng Fangqu’s offerings or not, he couldn’t be certain—it wasn’t a gamble he could take!
Weng Fangqu, you old dog! I kindly ca to find you, and you try to kill to take the reward for yourself. You are heartless, so don’t bla for being unrighteous. I’ll just say you’re colluding with ng Yuchun; let’s see if you can clear that up.
As he ran, the Playful Matron felt his steps falter and his vision blur.
Sly old thief, to have poisoned the weapon! What kind of weapon was he using? Luckily, he didn’t chase after . It seems I really didn’t accept his offering. He can’t claim a debt, nor can he outrun .
The Playful Matron mustered his strength and ran out of ng Yuchun’s territory.
...
Li Banfeng packed up the Projector, and ng Yuchun anxiously said, "We shouldn’t have let him escape! That bastard knows where I live!"
Li Banfeng was unfazed, "This was never sothing that could be hidden."
ng Yuchun vented, "Yes, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have told the three of them about my house."
Li Banfeng shook his head, "Even if you didn’t tell the three of them, it couldn’t have been kept secret. You are a Local Deity. You can’t move to another territory, and your house can’t be moved either. As long as soone is after you, it’s only a matter of ti before they find where you live."
ng Yuchun sighed, "It seems I can’t keep the Contract Book. I can’t defend this broken place either."
"What do you an you can’t defend it? Just take care of those who are eyeing you, and it’ll be defended, won’t it?"
ng Yuchun said helplessly, "I still don’t know who is targeting ."
"We’ll know soon enough. Let’s go back to the cave for now."
"Xiao Die has been hard by that bastard; it’s very likely she’s dead." As she spoke, ng Yuchun gritted her teeth.
"Not necessarily dead," Li Banfeng shook his head, "At her age, she understands everything, yet she understands nothing—it’s hard to say clearly what’s going on."
ng Yuchun was taken aback, "What do you an? Isn’t the Playful Matron a woman?"
Li Banfeng smiled without saying more.
Back in the cave, ng Yuchun was eager to return to her residence to replenish her strength. "I’ll light up the boundary in a mont. If anyone dares to break in, they’ll be crushed to pieces."
"How long can you sustain a hundred-mile territory?"
"I should be able to last the night."
"What about tomorrow night?"
"Rest one day, and keep watch the next night!"
"Can you keep watch forever? Haven’t I told you, it’s useless." Li Banfeng started recording in the cave with the Projector.
...
The Playful Matron stumbled to the bottom of a cliff, bowing and scraping. After waiting for a long ti, a green fla appeared atop the precipice.
The Playful Matron struggled to say, "I’ve found ng Yuchun’s residence. Weng Fangqu and ng Yuchun are colluding, and they wanted to kill !"
The Ghost Fire circled for a mont, then uttered a dull sound, "Lead the way, rally the troops."
So urgent?
It has to be. With Weng Fangqu and ng Yuchun’s collusion exposed, ng Yuchun could attack at any mont.
The Playful Matron said, "I’m poisoned, I can’t walk."
The Ghost Fire circled for a mont and then dropped an Elixir.
The Playful Matron picked up the Elixir, swallowed it, and quickly recovered.
...
In the cave, Li Banfeng held the Female Halberd, carefully observing the changes.
This is the first ti I’ve used this Spiritual Object; I wonder what its effect will be.
By two in the morning, the Female Halberd gradually grew warm, even becoming hot to the touch.
It’s as if it has t its lover.
The Playful Matron had arrived near the cave and said to a Ghost Fire beside him, "ng Yuchun lives in that cave."
Twenty-six Strange Monsters, with cultivation levels ranging from the Fourth to the Sixth Layer, followed the Ghost Fire, along with two Seventh Layer Wandering Monsters.
The Ghost Fire ordered, "Draw ng Yuchun out, and leave the rest to ."
This command sounded very authoritative, as if he alone was shouldering everything.
The real reason was that he knew ng Yuchun was a Ho Cultivator, so he didn’t want to confront a Ho Cultivator inside her residence.
His strategy was to lure ng Yuchun out first, let the group of Strange Monsters entangle her, then he would enter the house, deal with the House Spirit, and dig out the Contract Book.
At that ti, ng Yuchun, utterly disheartened, would be easy to kill or capture.
Receiving their orders, the Strange Monsters slinked into the cave.
The Playful Matron led the way, pointing at the cave entrance on the rock wall and waved to the others.
The others understood and stealthily approached the entrance.
The Female Halberd trembled incessantly, as if it had t its beloved, its heart pounding in anticipation.
Li Banfeng silently opened the Portable Residence.
A man, spreading wings like a bat, was the first to fly into the cavern.
Once he entered, he never ca out again.
There was no ng Yuchun in this cave, only Li Banfeng.
Had the Playful Matron mistaken the place?
Yes, he had indeed mistaken the place.
This cave was not ng Yuchun’s house. It was a cave carved out by Li Banfeng using the Path-breaking Technique.
The Projector was projecting at the highest point of the cave, altering the entire layout.
The Playful Matron also sensed sothing was amiss, but the general location was indeed not incorrect.
