Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1206 590: The Head of the Family!

These concepts are a bit complex, but Li Banfeng has a simple way to deal with them. To see the soul, the best technique is the Golden Gaze Autumn Hair.
Li Banfeng used the Golden Gaze Autumn Hair, looked for a long time, and shook his head saying: "Trying to see through it is really difficult."
The phonograph said: "Husband, don't worry, look into the gaps of the soul and focus your mind a bit more."
The phonograph can't help Li Banfeng. Despite her mastery of the Golden Gaze Autumn Hair Technique, she's unable to see through Shui Yongquan's Earth Soul. Even seeing through an ordinary person's soul is extremely difficult, not to mention Shui Yongquan, who is a Wounded Demon Fiend above the Ninth Layer, making his soul not easily seen through by others.
After waiting for over ten minutes, Li Banfeng seemed to have made some progress.
"Is this the human soul? It seems like there's no change, just that the body is a bit cleaner." Blood vessels burst in Li Banfeng's eyes.
"Husband, how is it clean, could you describe it in detail!"
"There are no clothes, nor any dust. There was quite some dust on the face just now, but now it's gone."
The phonograph looked at Shui Yongquan, the clothes were still there, and so was the dust on the face: "Husband, you've seen through the Earth Soul. That's the marvel of the High Pillow Worry-Free Skill, in this house, you're the master!"
"Wife, where should I look after seeing the human soul?"
"Look at the chest. On the human soul's chest, there is a bone with some drawings on it—circles, dots—that seem indistinguishable as to what they represent. These drawings are a person's memories."
Li Banfeng, now dizzy, searched on the human soul for a long time, found the bone at the heart, and also found some of the drawings his wife mentioned.
Some drawings are just circles, some are wavy lines, some are triangles, and some are spots of varying sizes.
The scroll is very dense, but each drawing is quite distinct, with clear layering so that most of the scrolls do not have confusion with each other.
"Wife, there are so many drawings, like dozens, which one should I look at?"
"Dozens? That's too few!" The phonograph shook her head, "A fifty-plus-year-old middle-aged person should have at least tens of thousands of drawings on their bones, not to mention Shui Yongquan is far older than fifty. If you only see a few dozen drawings, these should be the memories Shui Yongquan left after his amnesia."
Li Banfeng asked, "What about the other drawings? Were they all erased?"
The phonograph said: "This is the effect of the Mind-cleansing Technique, husband, carefully look to see if there are any traces left on the bone."
Li Banfeng looked for a long time and saw no traces.
His wife pondered for a while and said: "Shui Yongquan is a wise person, he wouldn't leave himself without a backup plan. Husband, why don't you reach out and feel if there's a mark on the back of the bone."
"Can you even feel it?"
"Others can't, but you can. In our home, you have this ability."
Li Banfeng reached out to touch the bone on the human soul, and Shui Yongquan's body convulsed.
Meng De suddenly opened his eyes and reminded: "Sir, be gentle, don't wake him up."
Shui Yongquan did not wake up, he just felt uncomfortable. The music from the Music Box kept playing without interruption, and Shui Yongquan was still deep asleep.
Li Banfeng felt the bone on the human soul; it was slippery and somewhat warm.
"Husband, did you find the mark?"
"Yes, I did!" Li Banfeng laughed, "Wife, there are lines on the back of the bone!"
The phonograph said: "Husband, gently feel along those lines and see if there's a mechanism inside."
Li Banfeng explored the lines for a moment, and the lines began to slowly grow, spreading from the back of the bone to the front.
The lines that spread over intertwined on the front of the bone, slowly forming a few drawings.
This is the backup plan Shui Yongquan left for himself!
Li Banfeng laughed aloud: "Wife, the drawings are becoming more and more!"
Meng De stepped out of the dream realm and said to Li Banfeng: "Sir, he's about to wake up, hurry and send him out!"
Li Banfeng withdrew the technique and immediately sent Shui Yongquan out of the Portable Residence.
After lying in the house for a while, Shui Yongquan woke up, his eyes filled with confusion, unable to recognize Li Qi.
The memory recovery was not complete, and Li Banfeng took Shui Yongquan up the mountain. Unlike when they came, Shui Yongquan was much more cautious, always keeping an eye on Li Banfeng's movements along the way.
When they reached Qiu Luoye's place, the two exchanged a momentary glance, and Shui Yongquan pointed at Qiu Luoye saying: "You, you, where's your nose?"
Qiu Luoye smiled, revealing the form of Big Elephant: "Old Shui, do you recognize me now?"
"Qiu Daxiang!" Shui Yongquan finally recognized him.
Since Qiu Luoye's transformation, he adhered to Li Qi's instructions, and the nickname "Qiu Daxiang" has been forbidden.
But today, Shui Yongquan mentioned it, and Qiu Luoye wasn't angry; he almost laughed to tears.
"Old Shui, you remembered me!" Qiu Luoye wrapped his trunk around Shui Yongquan, shaking him up and down.
Li Banfeng, worried he'd be shaken apart, quickly put Shui Yongquan down.
After the shake, Shui Yongquan seemed to remember something else.
"Zhu Chunhua!" He uttered a name, looking at Qiu Luoye and said, "Do you still remember Zhu Chunhua?"
Qiu Luoye chuckled dryly: "Why bring her up?"
"Do you have a thing for her?"
Qiu Luoye blushed: "I did; this girl was sturdy in build, and whenever I saw her, it reassured my heart. If I could marry her..."
Does Qiu Luoye have a liked girl?
Li Banfeng listened with great interest.
Shui Yongquan thought for a moment and continued: "She seemed to have a thing for you too."
"Really?" Qiu Luoye's trunk trembled.
"Really!" Shui Yongquan nodded, "She asked me herself if you had feelings for her."
"What did you say?"
"I said you had no interest and that you couldn't stand her. She left the next day, don't you remember?"
Qiu Luoye's face turned pale: "Why did you say that?"
Shui Yongquan said: "Because I wasn't into her, I thought you could find someone better. You two aren't a good match; maybe I shouldn't have told you this."
"Yes, you shouldn't have told me..." Qiu Luoye turned to look at Li Banfeng, "How is he recovering physically?"
"Not bad..."
Before Li Banfeng could finish, Qiu Luoye picked Shui Yongquan up: "What does it matter to you if I'm a match with her?"
Shui Yongquan shouted: "You're not a match, I'm confident in my judgment!"
"Who do you say I'm a match with? If you can't say today, I might just kill you!"
Li Banfeng hurriedly held back Qiu Luoye: "No, this isn't right, Big Brother Qiu, let him go, he can't take this!"
After finally snatching Shui Yongquan away, suddenly the gloves on the chest trembled: "Master, he's here!"
"Who's here?"
"The Grandmaster!"
Qiu Luoye still wanted to handle Shui Yongquan, Li Banfeng told Qiu Luoye: "We have a thief in our house."
