Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1145 577: Where Did Old Hu Go? (Requesting Monthly Ticket)

In the dead of night, the Portable Residence slept soundly, in a deep slumber.

Miss Jiufang gently woke Red Lotus: "Do you want to get out or not? If not, then move to another room, let's not waste each other's time."

"I do want to get out, but now is not the time."

"When do you plan to wait until? Until that madman shows mercy and lets you out?"

Red Lotus reminded: "Speak a little quieter, Zhao Xiaowan has sharp ears, and she's deeply in love with him. If she hears you calling him a madman, she might just take your life."

"Zhao Xiaowan? I don't think she's Zhao Xiaowan, she should be Huang Yuxian, her singing and methods are exactly the same."

"What nonsense are you talking? Even if I could have mistaken, could Hong Ying also have mistaken? Stop with the mind games, just wait a bit longer, when the time is right, I'll naturally help you out."

Miss Jiufang sneered: "I'm afraid I'll never wait until the time is right, I've figured it out, you simply don't want to leave, you're just craving his flesh."

"Craving him? You think I'm starved crazy..."

Whoosh!

The door to Jiufang's room suddenly opened, and Li Banfeng slid sideways, lifting his right shoulder and dragging his left leg, arriving in front of Red Lotus: "Hey-ya, cha-cha-cha, everyone's dancing, don't be shy, don't be shy! Hey-ya, cha-cha-cha, learning rumba is not trendy, learning samba lacks flair..."

As Li Banfeng danced, he carried Red Lotus to the main room.

Red Lotus was quite surprised: "You're dancing the Puppet Dance from the Outside Provinces, why are you singing cha-cha-cha?"

Li Banfeng explained: "Because I am a puppet that can dance the cha-cha."

"The cha-cha sways the hip joint, how many puppets have hip joints?"

"Hua Jiu'er, how many lotus flowers do you see that can practice alchemy?" Li Banfeng carried Red Lotus into the main room and placed her in the midst of blood and flesh, "Eat!"

Red Lotus snorted derisively: "Only when others have leftovers do they think of me."

"Eat cleanly, don't make the ground all slick and messy." Li Banfeng held the phonograph and continued dancing, making enough noise to wake the Old Man.

"Ah Qi! Coming back in the middle of the night, couldn't you keep it down a bit!"

Li Banfeng cradled the phonograph, shuffling back and forth: "Old Man, winter is coming, the house needs to store food, can't keep it down these days. Old Man, do you think my dance steps are solid?"

The phonograph was dizzy from being swayed in Li Banfeng's arms: "Husband, why are you so obsessed with dancing? Are you trying to become a dance cultivator?"

"Getting into the profession is impossible, the Outside Provinces are capturing Du Wenming, I'm afraid this kid will act desperately like a cornered dog, so I've got to take some precautions."

Hong Ying wiped her mouth: "Qi Lang, the food you've brought back these days, is it all related to Du Wenming?"

Li Banfeng nodded: "Yes! These pitiful people all died at his hands!"

Through the investigation of Goncharova, Shen Jingye reached a very crucial conclusion. The Birch Tree Hermit Society's infiltration into Huan Country has already threatened Huan Country's security.

The reason is simple, the Birch Tree Hermit Society has intentions to control Puluo State. Huan Country's control over Puluo State isn't very strong, but they will definitely not hand Puluo State over to anyone else.

The higher-ups have issued orders that the Birch Tree Hermit Society must be thoroughly cleared out, and efforts must be made to capture Du Wenming, control Yu Yaoming, and recover Yu Yaoming's experimental equipment.

Shen Jingye could sense a change in the attitude of the higher-ups. Regarding Du Wenming, it was still all-out capture, but for Yaoming, it had shifted to control.

Yu Yaoming indeed committed murder, and the impact was extremely negative.

But this person's ability is too strong, the higher-ups clearly want to protect him.

If encountered with Yu Yaoming, he must be cautiously handled, but there is no need to show mercy to the Hermit Society. In a little over a month, the Dark Star Bureau has continuously taken out over a dozen Hermit Society strongholds.

Although the investigation has made significant progress, Du Wenming is truly too rampant, too ruthless. The key members of the Hermit Society have been silenced by him, totaling over a dozen.

Those who have been silenced are now in the Portable Residence.

Hong Ying was a bit puzzled: "Clearly it was Du Wenming who murdered and silenced them, so why have all these people ended up in our home?"

Red Lotus replied sarcastically: "Because Du Wenming is like a basket that can hold anything."

Hong Ying laughed: "Isn't that just like you being a waste oil drum?"

Red Lotus snorted, gathered the remaining flesh and blood, and handed over the previously refined Xuanyun Pills to the phonograph.

The phonograph counted the elixirs: "Subtracting the ones husband has eaten before, there are now seventeen Xuanyun Pills, this number should be sufficient."

"What does wife mean by sufficient?" Li Banfeng was a bit puzzled, "This stuff at most can be taken half a pill at a time, why need so many?"

"In the future, how much will be needed is hard to say, such good stuff, certainly the more the better!"

Li Banfeng checked the pocket watch, the time was about right, it was time to send wife to the laboratory for research.

For wife's research project, Li Banfeng had invested a lot of effort! These days, apart from capturing key members of the Birch Tree Hermit Society, Li Banfeng spent all other time in the laboratory. Every detail, every setup in the laboratory received a tremendous amount of attention.

At first, it was for the Boundary, later it was for wife.

Since wife followed Li Banfeng, she had been staying in the Portable Residence, occasionally going out for some air, and even then, it required careful negotiation with the Portable Residence.

Beloved wife can wash clothes and cook, understands math and physics, can provide strategies, can manage finances, is determined in battle, gentle and affectionate in private, can sing songs and perform operas, where can one find such a partner.

Now finally having a chance to change the environment for wife, Li Banfeng decided to dedicate a lot of effort!
