Li Banfeng secretly brings bloody remains back to the Portable Residence, feeding them to Red Lotus. Meanwhile, the higher-ups escalate their efforts against the Birch Tree Hermit Society, ordering the capture of Du Wenming and the control of Yu Yaoming, whose valuable equipment needs to be recovered.

Li Banfeng wanted to give his wife a surprise. After lunch, he waved his hand, and his coat flew over and draped itself on him.

Hong Ying exclaimed, "You've really mastered this technique!"

The phonograph laughed, "Husband has such a good talent, he learns everything quickly."

Hong Ying shook her head, "It's different, Qi Lang doesn't learn other techniques as fast! He's been studying Riding the Wind and Clouds for a long time, and still flies unsteadily."

The gloves said, "The master is used to running, he doesn't like flying. If something falls, it's hard to find. But he truly cherishes the things at home."

Li Banfeng picked up his wife, just about to head out, but the Portable Residence was displeased, "Want to leave now? Wait until you reach the place!"

Li Banfeng intended to take advantage of the opportunity to take his wife out more, yet this little thought couldn't fool the Portable Residence.

After spending so many days together, why does the Portable Residence still have such vigilance towards his wife?

Li Banfeng left his dwelling and went to Flower Lake Park, running all the way to Iron Gate Fort, but instead of heading to Qi Qiu City, he first went to a deserted mountain at Iron Gate Fort.

On the deserted mountain, Li Banfeng checked the solar panels hanging on the cliff, then slipped into the cave to greet a few good friends.

"Lingling, have you eaten your fill yet?"

"Nannan, did you eat a lot this time?"

"Tongtong, let me see if you've gotten chubby!"

Several gigantic batteries jumped into Li Banfeng's arms, the values on their electronic screens exploding, glowing red all over.

These batteries could jump because Li Banfeng used the family treasure self-counting technique.

They hadn't spent much time in the Portable Residence, nor with Li Banfeng, yet he had feelings for them.

Li Banfeng danced the puppet dance, taking the batteries into the Portable Residence, and after coming out, danced the puppet dance all the way to Qi Qiu City.

These batteries were for the laboratory, yet the laboratory was in Qi Qiu City, why was Li Banfeng charging them at Iron Gate Fort?

Li Banfeng had seven charging stations in seven different locations; trying to find the laboratory through the charging stations was purely futile.

After setting up the batteries, Li Banfeng brought his wife out from the Portable Residence.

The laboratory lights came on, his wife worried about wasting electricity, told Li Banfeng, "Today, use only the interferometer, one light is enough."

Li Banfeng didn't listen to his wife, lighting up all the lights in the laboratory.

The lights had also become familiar with Li Banfeng; some were very bright, others dim, some flickered, transforming the laboratory into a big dance floor like Xiaoyao Lodge.

Li Banfeng embraced the phonograph, gracefully dancing among the corridors of equipment.

The most sensible light moved back and forth on the ceiling, its light following Li Banfeng and the phonograph, attracting the attention of all the equipment onto the two of them.

The phonograph buried its horn in Li Banfeng's arms, softly saying, "Ying Ying was correct; you've really mastered the family treasure self-counting technique very well, despite these things not spending much time at home, they listen to you."

"Because I treat them as family," Li Banfeng pointed to the light overhead, "This light is called Ah Liang, he performs particularly well. Among so many lights, he was the first one I noticed,

And the light in the corner, he's called Ahui, he's an honest one, not very flashy but reliable, flickering in the corner, he creates atmosphere particularly well,

And then there's that light, she's called Ahua, she can change colors and always does it beautifully, without my design, her light effects always have novelty."

The phonograph chuckled, "No wonder you learned the family treasure self-counting technique so quickly; it's all thanks to your personality,

Throughout the years, every magical treasure and spiritual object at home, husband treats as family. Except for losing a pair of scissors once, husband never abandoned any household belongings."

Li Banfeng sighed, "Thinking of that pair of scissors, I truly feel a bit heartache; if I find them someday, I'll definitely bring them back."

The phonograph hugged Li Banfeng tightly, whispered, "You see them as people, I see them as people too, don't always let them watch me, Little Nu feels shy."

"Shy about what? My wife is so beautiful, if they see her, it's their good fortune."

Upon hearing this, the phonograph felt joy yet also a bit of loss, "If it were my true appearance, I wouldn't be afraid of being seen; anyone who saw me would genuinely say I'm pretty."

Li Banfeng said, "I'm sincere, I truly think you're beautiful!"

"I know you're sincere..." The phonograph sighed lightly, danced with Li Banfeng for a long time before starting the experiment.

The experiment progressed smoothly and the results were quite satisfying. The phonograph recorded the results, preparing to make the next deduction, but Li Banfeng said, "How about I take you to Qi Qiu City for a stroll?"

The phonograph shook its big horn, "That's not possible, if Old Man finds out, next time going out will be difficult."

"If you don't say anything, how would he know?"

"He's always watching you, he can see everything."

"He's asleep now, can't see anymore."

"Husband knows he's asleep?"

Li Banfeng nodded, "I can hear him snoring."

The phonograph was somewhat surprised; Li Banfeng's perception had improved so quickly that he could hear Old Man's voice outside the house.

"But Little Servant looks this way, it's not good to meet people."

"I think my wife looks great," Li Banfeng glanced at the pocket watch, hoisting his wife onto his back, "Beloved wife, let's go to the night market!"

Qi Qiu City had just started developing, there weren't many wealthy people in the city, everyone worked hard to earn money during the day, and had time to wander the market at night, making the city's night market particularly bustling.
