His body started to rise and fall, as if he could breathe again.
The rises and falls grew bigger and bigger; it seed like it was no longer just breathing.
The Phonograph exclaid, "What's going on?"
Hong Ying watched for a mont, hurriedly grabbed an iron chain, and strangled "He Jiaqing" with it. "This is bad, this guy's about to blow!"
"Blow?" The Phonograph didn't understand why he would explode.
Hong Ying tightened the chain. "I can't be wrong. He's about to blow, just like soone hit by Passing Glance. Ask what you want, he won't last long."
The Phonograph asked, "What's your na?"
"He Jiaqing" answered, "My na is Qiu Daoyu."
The Phonograph asked again, "Why are you pretending to be He Jiaqing?"
"To beco an Upper Clan person."
"You're from the Inner State?"
"Yes, now I'm an Upper Clan person."
Zhao Xiaowan didn't quite believe this man. The Inner State People's build wasn't supposed to be this size; they were much bigger than the People of Puluo State.
"How did you change your appearance?"
"By burning in the furnace."
Not only did he have to alter his appearance, he also had to learn He Jiaqing's traits and habits.
"How did you learn about He Jiaqing's past?"
"He Jiaqing's dad, He Haiqin, taught bit by bit."
That checked out; He Haiqin had co out from the Inner State.
"What task did your clan give you?"
"To use He Jiaqing's identity to seize the Hundred Joy Gate."
"Where is He Jiaqing?"
"I don't know, I never found him..." Qiu Daoyu's voice grew weaker and weaker.
"How many of your clansn changed their looks?"
"There were a hundred of us who entered the furnace together. They all died and were refined into just . My cultivation level is the highest, my body the toughest..."
Clank clank clank~
The iron chain rattled. Hong Ying shouted, "Xiaowan, I can't hold him anymore, he's about to blow, let's get out of here!"
Zhao Xiaowan said, "If he blows, he blows. Why are we running?"
Hong Ying said, "This force is different, it's definitely going to be vicious. I'm afraid we'll get hurt. Leave him here, let the Old Man deal with him."
The two had just turned to leave when a voice suddenly ca from the Seventh Room: "No, he can't explode here!"
The passenger of the Seventh Room spoke up, taking the initiative to warn Zhao Xiaowan: "If he blows here, this room is done for. He's going to blow his soul, not his body. If you eat his soul, he won't be able to explode."
Hong Ying refused, "If she eats him and he blows up in Xiaowan's belly, what do we do then?"
The Phonograph snapped, "Bullshit, how could he blow up in her belly? You, get back."
Hong Ying retreated to a distance, watching as Qiu Daoyu's body slowly began to swell.
The Phonograph stuck two needles into Qiu Daoyu's body, and all three Big Horns spewed Steam together.
Before long, Qiu Daoyu's body stopped swelling, and the Phonograph pulled the needles back.
"Xiaowan, how is it?" Hong Ying walked closer, looking on anxiously.
The Phonograph made no sound, and the front cabinet clattered noisily.
"Xiaowan, say sothing. Don't scare , Xiaowan..." Hong Ying fumbled over the Phonograph, her voice starting to tremble.
Sss sss~
"Don't touch my belly!" The Phonograph pushed Hong Ying away and walked two circles inside the Seventh Room.
"Xiaowan, you're..."
"Urp, glug glug glug..." The Phonograph let out a belch of satisfaction and sighed in praise, "This autumn swordfish is even tastier than that toad!"
Hong Ying let out a long breath and collapsed into a chair. "Xiaowan, were you really trying to scare to death?"
"No scaring, no scaring. Hurry and go eat the at, this is definitely Inner State Bloodline!"
Hong Ying looked at the corpse, puffed up beyond recognition. "Really? I'll give it a taste."
"Don't eat it all. Everyone at ho followed my husband out to fight. Leave so for them, and leave so for this Brother from the Seventh Room too."
Hong Ying ate a piece of the flesh and exclaid, "It is better than that toad. Brother from the Seventh Room, what's your na?"
The room replied, "If I knew my na, would I still be living so neither-human-nor-ghost like this?"
The Phonograph said, "With eyesight this good, being able to pick out the exact source of the explosion, you must be a Peeping Cultivator, right?"
"I suppose. After so many years, I don't even rember which Taoist Sect I'm from."
The Phonograph chuckled, "Doesn't matter if you don't rember. Take your ti thinking, we've got long days ahead. Let's look out for each other. Ying Ying, don't forget to leave a share for the Bafang as well."
Hong Ying was in charge of dividing up the at, and the Phonograph picked up Qiu Daoyu's fan. "The craftsmanship here isn't ordinary, there's sothing hidden inside."
"There really is sothing strange... could it be from eating too many Inner State People?" Hong Ying raised her head and looked at the Phonograph. "Xiaowan, I think sothing's off with my lips."
"Nonsense, you don't even have lips."
"Feels like I do now."
The Phonograph turned its Big Horn and took a careful look. "You don't say, you really don't say..."
Originally, there had only been two eyes on the gun muzzle; now beneath the eyes there really was a mouth.
The Phonograph marveled, "Ying Ying, you've just acquired an extra line of business!"
...
"You're really giving this piece of territory?" Chu Er wasn't too convinced; she didn't believe Li Qi would be this good to her.
"I've already brought it to you, of course it's for you. The very first person I thought of was you; no one suits it more than you do."
"Say what you just said one more ti."
Li Banfeng thought Chu Er hadn't heard clearly and deliberately slowed his speech. "No one suits it more than you."
"I ant the sentence before that, say it again."
"The first person I thought of was you."
Chu Er looked at Li Banfeng, sniffed, her lips trembling for a mont, and then she actually started crying out loud.
"What are you crying for?" Li Banfeng was puzzled.
Chu Er wiped her tears. "I've known you for so long, and it's the first ti I've heard you say you miss ."
Miss you?
That's a bit different from "thought of you", isn't it?
Li Banfeng was just about to correct his wording when he saw Chu Er holding the two pieces of Contract Book. "If I take this Contract Book, won't I beco the Local Deity of this territory? And if I open up all this Wilderness, won't I beco the Local Deity of Proper Land?"
