Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1305 614: Creatures from the Sun

Li Banfeng dragged Han Xiaoxuan into the Portable Residence.
Being able to move him was already not easy, and without external equipment, Han Xiaoxuan's techniques failed, causing most of the dust to return to his body. This man single-handedly created a factory, and his weight was imaginable.
Li Banfeng also attracted quite a bit of dust. He sat on the edge of the bed, took a deep breath, and used the High Pillow Worry-Free Skill. Soon, he broke out in a sweat, began to vomit violently, coughed up a lot of phlegm, and shed many tears.
His wife boiled hot water, allowing Li Banfeng to take a bath, clearing all the dust that remained between his pores, respiratory tract, mouth, stomach, and eyes.
The dust slithered slowly towards Han Xiaoxuan, quickly merging with his body.
Hong Ying looked a bit disgusted: "Qi Lang, what kind of person is this?"
"Inner State people, made of powder." Li Banfeng held a powder box, slowly approaching Han Xiaoxuan, who awoke as he sensed the box drawing near.
The dust absorbed into his body continually dispersed outward, unfolding layer by layer over Han Xiaoxuan's form.
His condition was very unstable, and he could explode at any time, yet his mood was quite good, not panicking at all, even managing to joke upon seeing Li Banfeng: "Hey handsome, we meet again. I thought I'd never see you in this lifetime."
The phonograph temporarily stabilized Han Xiaoxuan's soul, then seriously asked: "Why do you care so much about my husband?"
Han Xiaoxuan glanced at the phonograph, not seeming the least perturbed: "Oh, so this handsome guy has an owner. Don't worry, I'm not fighting for affection. I won't be around much longer; as long as he keeps me in his heart, that's enough."
Li Banfeng shook his head: "There's no way you'd be in my heart, but perhaps in my wife's stomach. You're from the Inner State?"
"Why ask that?" Han Xiaoxuan smiled and shook his head, "I don't have much time left. Can we exchange some sweet words?"
Old Teapot laughed and said: "You don't even look at your own face; how could our young master find favor with you? Why don't you sweet talk with me then, I wouldn't mind you."
A pot of boiling water was poured over Han Xiaoxuan, and this formidable Inner State person revealed a trace of pain.
During the fierce battle just moments ago, Li Banfeng had really ignored the teapot, but the tea from this teapot obviously restrained the Inner State person.
Despite suffering greatly, Han Xiaoxuan still refused to speak more, and the teapot was about to pour water again when the phonograph stopped it.
"Miss, you're a tough one. I know this doesn't work on you."
Han Xiaoxuan was stunned and asked the phonograph: "You call me miss despite my appearance?"
The phonograph switched to a puppet body, adopting the form of a woman and sitting next to Han Xiaoxuan: "I don't care what you look like. I can see you were originally a woman."
Han Xiaoxuan lowered her head and smiled: "Sis, you look so pretty. I've never seen such a beautiful woman as you. Were those words you said sincere?"
"You and I are both women; whether it's sincere or not, you can surely tell."
Han Xiaoxuan smiled: "Alright, for that remark alone, I'll be your 'sis' for now. What do you want to ask?"
The phonograph asked: "Are you a pure blood Inner State person?"
Han Xiaoxuan nodded: "I am, but not entirely."
"Have you had your circuits rebuilt?"
"Yes, a group of people were reprocessed, and I became like this, but my soul remained."
Her soul is pure, but her body is not.
Does she have something special in her body?
Zhao Xiaowan asked: "Did you have any dealings with Feng Yunting back then?"
Han Xiaoxuan thought for a moment: "You say 'back then', but I don't know how long ago that was. I actually saw her a few days ago."
The phonograph was shocked: "She's still alive?"
Han Xiaoxuan nodded: "Yes, alive. I learned my techniques from her."
Li Banfeng asked: "Who is Feng Yunting?"
Zhao Xiaowan said: "Feng Yunting is the Fenxiu Master. Her Taoist Sect was destroyed, and it's said she died many years ago. We'll explain the details to my husband later. Husband, if you have anything to ask her, do it quickly."
Li Banfeng asked Han Xiaoxuan: "What is the purpose of making the cream?"
"Warfare! We have already started a war against the Outside Provinces, but they don't know yet. Just like back then, when we fought against Puluo State, Puluo State also didn't know.
The Outside Provinces and Puluo State aren't smart; they don't know anything but can always win the fight. You guys are incredibly lucky, and I wonder if you'll be able to win this time."
Hong Ying turned around and asked: "War? Who is fighting who? How is it being fought?"
The phonograph scolded: "Don't cause trouble!"
Li Banfeng continued to ask: "What will happen if someone uses your cream?"
"They'll become beautiful, their skin will no longer be greasy, and the excess oil on their body will be completely consumed."
"Who are 'they'?"
"Little Mushrooms, which the Outside Provinces call fungi. I discovered these mushrooms; one day, the sun suddenly shone brightly, and I quickly hid away. After the sun darkened, I found these mushrooms on the mountain.
These mushrooms grow very well, born from the sun, surely useful for great purposes. I quickly reported this to the elders. The Great Elder said to pass it to the Imperial Court, the Second Elder said not to make it public, and the Third Elder said to keep it for ourselves, predicting big uses down the line.
The three elders each held different views, but the Great Elder had the central position, so everyone had to listen to him."
"What does central position mean?"
"Because the elders have three heads."
Li Banfeng recalled the Three-Headed People: "Three-headed individuals can become elders in the Inner State?"
"What's strange about being an elder? They're part of the Royal Family."
"What about the Three-Headed People in Puluo State?"
"They also have royal lineage."
