Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1165 581: Jiaoqi River (Part 4)

Li Banfeng couldn't think of a good method after she said that.

If it really doesn't work, he can only throw the key. Before entering the Portable Residence, he should throw the key next to the wooden house.

But what if Lu Qianjiao grabs the key?

Li Banfeng fell into deep thought: "Looking at this situation, I need to find a suitable opportunity to ambush."

The Phonograph said: "Husband, trying to ambush Lu Qianjiao isn't that easy, the Glue Mud will keep watch for Lu Qianjiao."

Li Banfeng was startled: "How does the Glue Mud keep watch?"

The wife explained: "Glue Mud is a sentient living thing. If raised well, it can do a lot. Lu Qianjiao is good at using Glue Mud because she knows how to raise them."

"Glue Mud can be raised?" Li Banfeng felt a bit unfamiliar with Glue Mud.

"Yes," the Phonograph explained, "the Glue Mud that you used back in the day was all harvested from the New Land. They were considered wild, but if you know about the Glue Mud's diet, you could actually keep them alive."

"What does Glue Mud like to eat?"

"That's the key, there are over a thousand types of Glue Mud, each with different dietary preferences. Lu Qianjiao has mastered the habits of almost all Glue Mud, and thus her technique with Glue Mud is exceptional.

But we Home Cultivation have a way to counter her technique, depending on how proficient you are with the house treasure self-counting technique."

In the Cloud Top Technique, among the Carefree Freedom Technique, Shape and Shadow Suspension, and Riding the Wind and Clouds, Li Banfeng didn't dare to say he was proficient.

Only in the Family Treasures Self-Counting technique was Li Banfeng truly skilled.

Li Banfeng smiled: "I'll go have a little chat; I'll see what they really want to eat. Once I've bought them over, won't the Formation fall apart by itself?"

The Phonograph praised: "Husband, your clever calculations will surely lead to swift success."

Hong Ying commented from the side: "Xiaowan, wasn't this idea yours? How did it become his clever calculations..."

Slap!

The Phonograph slapped Hong Ying on the shoulder, then turned to remind Li Banfeng: "Lu Qianjiao indeed admires the Peddler, she didn't come at you heavy-handed just now, proving that the Peddler must have mentioned you to her. Given your friendship with the Peddler, she probably doesn't want to hurt you,

but she's seasoned from the battlefield. Once she has the intent to kill, there's no telling what she might do. Husband, you must be cautious."

Li Banfeng left the Portable Residence and sat next to the Glue Mud.

Lu Qianjiao pushed open the window on the second floor and looked at Li Banfeng. She found that he neither flew nor left, just sat there silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Senior brother, it's getting late. Are you coming or not?"

Li Banfeng waved his hand and said: "No rush, I'll rest here for a bit."

"Then take your time to rest." Lu Qianjiao closed the window and took a bucket of Golden Water to paint the room.

Home Cultivation has the Family Treasures Self-Counting technique, didn't Lu Qianjiao have any defense against it?

She had defenses, but not against Li Banfeng himself.

Firstly, she noticed Li Banfeng was a Traveling Cultivator, and normally, Traveling Cultivators wouldn't know Home Cultivation.

Moreover, it was Li Banfeng's first time in Jiaoqi River, his home wasn't here, and these Glue Mud weren't things found outside Li Banfeng's home, so Lu Qianjiao wasn't worried about Li Banfeng controlling the Glue Mud.

She would never have thought that Li Banfeng is actually a Home Cultivator, and his home was right by his side.

After staring at the Glue Mud for over an hour, Li Banfeng lowered his voice and said: "Do you really never lack food?"

The Glue Mud bubbled with a very complacent expression.

Lu Qianjiao hadn't mistreated them; they truly didn't lack food.

Li Banfeng pondered for a moment, then took out his Wine Gourd: "How about we have a drink?"

The Glue Mud stirred, and a faint laughter seemed to come through.

They were mocking Li Banfeng.

"What nonsense? We're mud, when have you seen mud that loves to drink?"

Li Banfeng dripped a bit of wine onto the Glue Mud. Soon, the laughter of the Glue Mud ceased.

"This isn't anything good to drink."

"A bit bitter, a bit spicy, what's the point of drinking this?"

The Glue Mud said it wasn't good to drink, but they were bubbling even more vigorously.

"How about a bit more?" Li Banfeng poured a little more wine in the distance.

"We've already said it's not good, why are you still giving us this? We really don't want to drink your wine."

...

Whoosh!

Lu Qianjiao put down the brush in her hand, she heard movement from the Glue Mud outside.

This was the warning sound of the Glue Mud. If it whooshed, it meant someone was flying in the air; if it whooshed, it meant someone stepped into the Glue Mud Formation.

Did Li Qi step in?

How rash is this kid?

The Phonograph guessed correctly, the Peddler did mention Li Qi to Lu Qianjiao, she knew they had a relationship, so if Li Qi was trapped in the Glue Mud Formation, she would have to save him.

Lu Qianjiao pushed open the window on the second floor, peered into the distance, but did not see any sign of Li Qi.

Squeak~

Lu Qianjiao heard the door creak. She rushed to the first floor and saw that Li Qi had walked in.

"How did you get in?" Lu Qianjiao's eyes widened in disbelief.

Li Banfeng did not answer her question, he looked around the room and asked: "Sister-in-law, where exactly is my junior brother?"

Lu Qianjiao couldn't figure out how Li Qi got into the house, but she wasn't pretentious, willing to bet and accept the outcome. She didn't question Li Qi's technique, just asked him: "Why are you looking for the Peddler?"

Li Qi told the truth: "There's a rumor that the Peddler dueled with the Heavenly People, lost, and lost his life. I'm here to find him because..."

Before Li Banfeng could finish speaking, Lu Qianjiao suddenly clenched her fists.

"She dueled with the Peddler?" Lu Qianjiao's eyes turned blood-red, her once flawlessly handsome face twisting into something ferocious and terrifying, "That bitch should have been cut into pieces ages ago!"

PS: What's happened to Lu Qianjiao? Why is she so angry?
