Chapter 584: Sour and Bitter



Li Banfeng looked at Zhao Xiaowan, holding the record player in his arms.

Zhao Xiaowan looked at Li Banfeng, pursed her lips and asked, "My little slave is here, doesn't your husband want to hug me?"

Li Banfeng hugged the record player and said, "Aren't you hugging me?"

Zhao Xiaowan looked at the record player, then looked at Li Banfeng: "Husband, do you like to hug this?"

Li Banfeng hugged the record player tightly and said, "Don't we always hug like this?"

Zhao Xiaowan rubbed her forehead and felt dizzy.

Hong Ying sighed softly: "Xiao Wan, you have to accept your fate with the man you chose, even if it means gritting your teeth."

Zhao Xiaowan was furious and picked up a board to hit Hong Ying. However, in her rage, her soul could no longer attach to the puppet and returned to the record player.

"You lunatic, am I not handsome? Am I not good-looking? They are staring at me with their eyes wide open, why don't you even take a second look!" The record player waved the needle and started fighting with Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng held the record player, his cheek against the loud speaker: "Isn't he always looking at you? Come on, my lady, let's go to the night market!"

Back in the body of the record player, the lady didn't want to go out: "You go by yourself, I'll stay at home. You won't like me if I turn back to my original appearance and become a record player for the rest of my life.

You will be satisfied!"

"No matter what you look like, you are still my dear wife!" Li Banfeng walked to the door holding the record player.

"Haha!" The old man laughed out loud and opened the door.

After the two of them walked out of the door, Honglian felt that a pair of eyes were watching her and the puppet.

"Hongying," the old man ordered, "send Honglian and the things she made back to the Ninth House. Since Ah Qi doesn't like them, don't leave them here as an eyesore."

Hong Ying looked at the puppet and couldn't understand the reason: "How could Qilang not like such a beautiful woman? Doesn't he like this weak beauty and prefer brave women?

Thinking of this, Hong Ying suddenly realized: "Honglian, let's discuss it. One day you can make a puppet for me, and make it in my original appearance."

Before Honglian could reply, the old man snorted, "Girl, you are really stupid. Ah Qi doesn't like this thing. What's the point of asking her to do it?"

Hong Ying argued: "He doesn't like Xiao Wan's appearance, but he didn't say he doesn't like me."

The old man smiled and said, "Yes, I like your good figure. You are good at carrying bricks and soil.

Have you forgotten about the cantaloupe so quickly?"

Hong Ying angrily moved Honglian to Room 9. After more than half an hour, Honglian vaguely heard the old man's breathing. He fell asleep.

The girl in the puppet body spoke up: "What on earth was that madman thinking? He didn't want such a beautiful woman and insisted on going out with a record player. There's no one like him in the whole province!"

"Yes, he is the only one in Puro Province," Honglian sighed, "I have worked in vain this time."

"No! I have to find another way. No matter what, I have to make him take me out!"

"Figure it out yourself. Don't involve me anymore." Honglian remembered the feeling of being stared at in the main room before. That gaze filled with mockery and murderous intent made her heart run cold.

Li Banfeng was strolling with his wife at the night market and saw two pieces of jewelry that his wife liked very much.

But I felt it was too expensive, and I was conflicted for a long time.

I went to the rouge shop and saw a box of rouge. I thought the color was nice, but the fragrance was too strong, and I was confused for a long time.

Li Banfeng said, "My dear wife, your husband has money, so don't worry about it. Just buy it back and choose later."

"It's okay to go back and pick more, but what should I do with the leftovers? It would be such a waste if I throw them away.————" The lady became conflicted again.

"Give the remaining ones to Hong Ying."

"It's fine to give it to her, but if this girl doesn't appreciate it, I'll feel unhappy."

This is not right.

Normally, my wife is a bit frugal, but these few things at the night market are not enough to make her worry to this extent.

Why is she acting so abnormal today?

Li Banfeng bought everything his wife liked. His wife was anxious and said, "If you keep wasting money like this, I won't go out with you anymore."

"How can this be called a waste!" Li Banfeng brought the things he bought back to the mansion and placed them in front of the record player. "We come to the market to buy things, and when we buy things, we have to choose things. It's not fun to choose things at the market, so we might as well take them home and choose slowly. From the beginning to the end, there is nothing wrong with this."

The slope has been built.

The record player thought about it and felt that there was some truth in this.

"What about the rest? We spent money on it!"

Li Banfeng said: "The rest will be left to the family, and will be given to whoever pleases my wife.

Let's just think of it as a family trip to the market."

After hearing this, the wife felt relieved: "The whole family usually stays in the house.

It’s time to go out for a walk.”

Thinking of this, the lady felt much better and all her previous worries disappeared.

Looking at his wife happily picking things, Li Banfeng had a smile on his face but felt a little nervous in his heart.

The record player's previous mood was like a ball of silk thread full of knots, but now it was in a better mood because Li Banfeng used the technique of taking advantage of the situation to straighten the silk thread and untie the knot in his heart.

But where did this knot come from? Must it be untied by using the Foolish Cultivation Technique?

"Husband, don't just buy things for me, buy something you like too!"

Li Banfeng thought for a moment and said, "I don't have anything good to buy."

"Your clothes are torn, go buy new ones.

After a fight with a group of fake rickshaw drivers, Li Banfeng's jacket was torn in several places and it was really difficult to mend.

When he arrived at the clothing shop, Li Banfeng took a fancy to a suit.

He really liked Prozhou's suit, it looked really good with the top hat, but he just didn't like the jacket he was wearing.

The wife whispered behind him, "Husband, buy it if you like it."

"My dear, don't you feel bad about the money?"

"I don't feel bad at all for spending money on my husband."

Li Banfeng bought a suit and took his record player to the cinema to watch a movie.

Inside the box, the record player's mind was not on the movie, he just felt that something was wrong with the previous situation.

"Ever since I used the puppet made by Honglian, I have been feeling confused. I'm afraid there is something fishy going on with this thing."

Li Banfeng said, "I also think that puppet is not very good. Madam, please don't use it anymore. If you can't do it, I will just destroy it."

"My dear, please have a rest. I will do this myself."

After fighting at Huangtu Bridge all night without sleeping, Li Banfeng felt a little tired.

After returning to Suishenju, the record player prepared hot water for Li Banfeng, gave Li Banfeng a bath, made the bed, and went to sleep with Li Banfeng.

After Li Banfeng fell asleep, the record player quietly left the main room and went to the ninth room.

Honglian knew that the person coming was not friendly, so she closed her petals tightly, and a halo of light surged between the gaps.

The record player smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sister Honglian. I was just bored and wanted to talk to you."

"What do you want to talk about?"

"I want to talk to you about the people in the world."

"There's nothing much to talk about this guy. I told you before that I can't even remember if he's a man or a woman."

The record player smiled and said, "I can't remember. You can think about it slowly. I heard from my husband that Lu Qianjiao mentioned Tianshangren recently. She seems to be the peddler's lover.

But since she is the peddler's lover, it proves that she is a woman. I have never seen her true face. I really want to know how she doted on you in the first place?"

A halo of light flashed across the lotus leaf, and Honglian's tone was somewhat gloomy: "Zhao Xiaowan, you came here in the middle of the night just to humiliate me?"

The record player blew out a cloud of steam, burning Honglian's body. "Yes, I just want to humiliate you. What did you put in the puppet? Tell me everything."

Honglian said nothing.

She placed the needle on the record and sang a song she liked very much, "Burial of Flowers".

"Flowers are withering and flying all over the sky, who will pity them when their red and fragrance are gone? The soft silk thread is floating on the spring pavilion, and the fallen catkins lightly touch the embroidered curtain." The song played by the record player is not sad at all, and there is a hint of eeriness and struggle in the melody.

The next morning, as soon as Li Banfeng opened his eyes, Zhao Xiaowan stood in front of him again.

Li Banfeng rubbed his eyes. He was not mistaken. It was not the record player, but Zhao Xiaowan who was possessed by the puppet.

"Husband, are you awake?"

Li Banfeng sat up and reached out to touch the record player beside the bed, but found nothing.

"Husband, I thought that thing was in the way, so I moved it to the second room."

"Second room..." Li Banfeng got up and went to the second room and moved the record player back.

Zhao Xiaowan was dissatisfied, but still greeted him with a smile: "Since my husband loves me, please leave this record player in the main room.

Yesterday, I went to the night market with my husband and bought clothes, rouge, and jewelry, but I haven't bought anything for my home. There is a furniture store on the street, and I like their bookshelf. The size is just right for seven rooms.

My lord, please go with me to have a look. If you like it, please buy it and take it home.

2

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "No need to look at it. I'll tell my men to send the bookshelf over directly."

"My husband, he has many bookshelves at home. Do you know which one I am talking about?"

"Just bring them all back. I love reading and I also like bookshelves." Li Banfeng put on his clothes and prepared to go out.

Zhao Xiaowan shouted, "Husband, where are you going? Can you take me with you?"

Li Banfeng turned around and smiled, "Didn't we agree that I'll go find someone to buy furniture?"

"I have to go anyway, why don't you let me go? Do you think I'm bringing shame to my husband?" Zhao Xiaowan sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes red and her voice trembling, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

It's not as if, the lady really felt wronged, someone was conveying thoughts in her mind, and at this moment Zhao Xiaowan really felt pitiful for herself.

A group of magic weapons in the house looked over here. Hong Ying put down her eyebrow pencil and looked at Zhao Xiaowan.

Her condition was so abnormal.

We had agreed last night not to touch the puppet anymore, but in the blink of an eye, the lady was attached to the puppet again.

If it were someone else, they might be unable to control themselves because they wanted to get their body back so badly.

But who is the lady? A famous general who dominated the battlefield! There is no doubt about the lady's self-control, but Li Banfeng suspected that the lady had been tricked.

The lady is at a very high level, and it is difficult to hurt her with ordinary techniques, but there is a type of technique that ignores levels.

Li Banfeng sat beside his wife and comforted her softly, "My dear wife, your husband knows that you have been wronged. He is afraid that you will be troubled, so he will just buy back the furniture store and let you choose."

When the wife heard this, she seemed to come to her senses: "Yes, my husband loves me."

Li Banfeng used a foolish cultivation technique and put the result before the cause.

Although the furniture had not been delivered yet, Li Banfeng used this as a result to infer the reason. Instead of not letting his wife go out, he said that he would move the furniture store here.

The lady had just calmed down for a while, then she sobbed twice and started crying again.

Hong Ying was stunned. Zhao Xiaowan was not a woman who liked to cry.

Gloves murmured, "Something is wrong with the mistress."

The projector exclaimed: "This is the art of a peerless beauty. Two lines of tears can break a person's heart, but——"

Meng De asked, "Just what?"

The projector said, "The color of crying is blue, the color of laughing is red, what does it mean when there is red in the blue?"

The pendulum was very surprised: "What do you mean by blue with red? Why can't I see it at all?

Bei Li Banfeng glanced at the projector, then looked at Zhao Xiaowan: "My dear, what's wrong?"

Zhao Xiaowan wiped her tears and said, "Over the years, everyone who has seen me has thought I was a monster in the record player. I feel really wronged. I want to show my true self to others and clear my name."

Mittens lowered his voice and asked, "Is the mistress crazy? Does she want to reveal her identity?

Zhao Xiaowan glared at the gloves and said, "I'm not telling everyone the whole truth. I'm just leaving two sentences and letting them figure out the rest. I just want to save face."

Hong Ying said softly, "Xiao Wan, what's wrong with you? What you said just now doesn't sound like you would say it."

"Bitch! I can say whatever I want to say. What does it have to do with you?"

Zhao Xiaowan was in an unstable mood and no one in the family dared to say anything. If Li Ban tried to persuade her with kind words, he would be fooled, because no matter how he persuaded her, he might anger Zhao Xiaowan.

Having worked in the record player business for so many years, she had suffered a lot of misunderstandings. This was a knot in her heart, which she usually kept very secret, but today she was taken advantage of by Yu Xiu.

This knot in his heart was not easy to untie. Li Banfeng couldn't think of a solution, so he simply went along and tied another knot outside the knot.

"Ma'am, who do you want to see?"

The record player thought for a moment and said, "Let's meet the owner of this furniture store first. We can meet him when he delivers the goods."

Li Banfeng said, "Does the boss of this furniture store think my wife is a monster in the record player?

The lady said: "That's not the case. He has never seen me before."

"How can he give my lady a fair name if he has never seen her? He must first be allowed to see my lady, first he must see what my lady looks like when she turns into a record player.

2

The lady nodded and said, "My husband is right! I have to let him see what the monster looks like first, and then let him see what I really look like!"

The slope was built and the wife came down. Li Banfeng pushed the record player in front of her.

The lady was a little conflicted. She was wondering whether or not to leave the puppet's body.

This entanglement was caused by the foolish cultivation technique. There was a foolish cultivation inside the puppet, and she had been controlling the lady's thoughts.

After waiting for a long time, the lady suddenly left the puppet and got into the record player.

Li Banfeng was pleasantly surprised. The foolish cultivator seemed to have let go and did not continue to pester his wife.

But why did this foolish cultivator let go?

After returning to the record player, the lady instantly became much more sober.

She looked up at the puppet, then turned to look at Li Banfeng: "I don't know what happened to me just now, but I said a lot of willful words, which made my husband embarrassed."

Li Banfeng shook his head: "This is not willful, my wife has indeed been wronged over the years, wait for me to deal with this puppet first, and then listen to my wife talk about the sadness of these years."

After coaxing his wife, Li Banfeng turned and looked at the puppet.

The record player raised the needle and said, "You don't need to do anything about this matter, I can deal with her myself."

Hong Ying pushed the record player aside and said, "Xiao Wan, go hide in another room."

"Why do you let me hide?"

"Because you can't do it!" Hong Ying stared at the puppet and said, "Not to mention you, even I can't do it. This thing looks too much like you. Xiaowan, get out of here quickly!"

The puppet, which was originally motionless, suddenly spoke: "You don't have to hide, let me hide for a while, Li Qi, can I talk to you alone?"

A group of magic weapons were stunned, and Hong Ying immediately drew out her sword.

This puppet actually hides a person, the soul of another person!

The record player blocked Li Banfeng and said, "My husband can't go."

Sui Shen Ju suddenly spoke up: "Girl, let him go, I'll watch over him."

Li Banfeng hugged his wife and walked to the puppet: "What do you want to say? Where do you want to say it?"

"Go to where I live." After saying that, the puppet fell silent.

The soul inside left.

Hong Ying asked, "Where does she live?"

Li Banfeng said, "She lives in room nine."

The one hiding in the puppet is Miss Jiufang. It was she who used the foolish cultivation technique on the lady, causing her to become so abnormal.

The first time I went to Room 9 to find her, I asked her to translate the blackboard book of the Birch Tree Hermitage. She translated it randomly and wrote a completely irrelevant sentence, which almost deceived Li Banfeng.

No one in the family could see through her tricks, but she could not deceive the Judge's Pen, because lazy practitioners restrain foolish practitioners. From that time on, Li Banfeng concluded that the ninth room girl was a foolish practitioner.

Although Li Banfeng is also a foolish cultivator, he is somewhat afraid of foolish cultivators. He has been on guard against Jiufang during this period of time. He did not expect that she would actually use a puppet to attack his wife.

Li Banfeng entered room nine. Record player and Hong Ying stood at the door and listened quietly, but they could not hear any movement in the room. The sound from room nine was blocked by the living room, and Honglian was also moved out by Li Banfeng.

After closing the door, before Li Banfeng could speak, the girl from Room 9 asked first, "Just now, you used the method of reversing cause and effect and taking advantage of the situation to your woman, right?"

Li Banfeng didn't say anything, so Miss Jiufang asked again, "Who did you learn this technique from?"

Li Banfeng remained silent.

Miss Nine simply guessed, "Is it with Sun Tiecheng?"

Li Banfeng remained silent, and the old man spoke up: "Ah Qi, if you trust me, tell her."

Li Banfeng nodded slightly.

"Is he still alive?" Miss Jiufang's voice trembled a little.

Li Banfeng said: "I don't know if he is alive or not. He can eat, sleep, walk and fight."

Miss Jiufang was silent for a long time, then asked Li Banfeng: "Is Fool City still there?"

"In the inns and taverns, there are all kinds of businesses."

"There's a big clock tower in the city. Is it still there?"

"Yes, it's the highest place in the city."

"There's a small market in the city, is that there too?"

"Yes, but there aren't many people buying groceries————

Miss Jiufang asked questions all over the place for a long time, and she wanted to ask about all the horn crowns in Fool's City.

After asking about Fool City, she asked about Li Banfeng: "Have you ever used Taoist medicine powder?

Are you a disciple or a practitioner of my sect?"

For ignorant practitioners, there is a clear difference between disciples and practitioners. Disciples only master some techniques.

Only those who practice cultivation can be considered to have entered the path of foolish cultivation.

Sui Shen Ju said, "Ah Qi, tell her."

After a long silence, Li Banfeng said, "I am a cultivator."

Room Nine was quiet for a long time. Li Banfeng didn't wear the silk earrings, and he didn't have any magic weapon on him.

But he vaguely heard some sobbing.

Is she crying?

Why are you crying?

"I, the technique I used just now is called speaking bitterly, telling the other person's sad story, making the other person lose his temper due to the bitterness.

The key to the technique is to grasp the enemy's weak points. If you encounter an unfamiliar enemy,

We must find ways to get him to pour out his bitterness."

Miss Jiufang earnestly told Li Banfeng the skill of saying sour things and bitter things. After listening to her, Li Banfeng said expressionlessly, "Why did you harm my wife?"

"I don't want to hurt her. I just want to get out of here. I want to see Fool City again, even if it's just for a second."

"Do you miss Fool's Town that much?"

"I want to, I really want to," Miss Jiufang thought that Li Banfeng could let her go, and said sincerely, "Since the day when Fool City was in trouble, I have been wondering if I can see Fool City again in this life. I have always dreamed of you using your skills on me?"

"Yes." Li Banfeng nodded. He had no intention of letting Miss Jiufang go. He was listening to her complaints and waiting for her to lose her temper and then he would kill her to ashes.

"Do you want to kill me?" asked Miss Jiufang in a trembling voice.

You touched my wife, so I shouldn't have kept you." Li Banfeng still had no expression.

"Can you let me take one more look at Fool's City?" Miss Jiufang's tone was full of pleading.

"No." Li Banfeng said calmly, but his attitude was very firm.

"Well, knowing that Fool City is still there, I am satisfied. You should know how to deal with the dead souls with the techniques you learned from Sun Tiecheng. You can kill me with ironclad evidence."

Li Banfeng's eyes turned red and he was about to cry. If he cried, Miss Jiufang would be dead forever.

"A Qi!" Suishenju stopped Li Banfeng, "For my sake, spare her life. She can help you in the future."

After a full ten minutes of silence, Li Banfeng nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll leave this life to you first, and let's make a contract. You are not allowed to touch my family in the future!"

Sui Shenju said, "I will bear witness to this matter."

After the matter was settled, Li Banfeng left Room Nine and picked up Honglian at the door: "Hua Jiuer, we have another bill to pay. It's time to settle it."

Honglian didn't explain, and there was no point in explaining. Many things could not be hidden from the old man.

The record player stopped Li Banfeng and said, "My husband, we'll settle this account later. I've been tricked this time.

It was my own fault, I want to take revenge on myself."

Li Banfeng handed Honglian to his wife, and the record player slowly moved the needle across Honglian's body: "Sister, I will remember this grudge. Do you want to move in with me in the future, or do you still want to live in Room 9?"

Honglian replied in a low voice: "Anyway, I will follow your orders."

"You're quite sensible," the record player smiled, "Okay, I'll let you live in the ninth room. Counting the previous Xuan Yun Dan, you've tricked me twice in total. Let's see if you have the ability to trick me a third time!"

The record player threw Honglian into the ninth room, then turned to look at the puppet in the main room: "My husband, do you really not like my original appearance?"

Li Banfeng hugged the loud speaker and put his face close to it: "My dear, I like you no matter what you look like."

"Then should we keep this puppet for now?"

"If my wife wants to stay, then stay. You are the one who makes the decisions on household matters." Li Banfeng danced waltz while holding a record player and took his wife to the furniture store to buy a bookshelf.

In room nine, Honglian gently opened her petals and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Miss Nine lowered her voice and said, "Don't lose heart, we still have a chance."

Honglian laughed and said, "Whether you have a chance or not depends on your own ability. Don't involve me again in the future."

"If you could get out of here one day, who would you most like to see?"

"Why are you asking this?"

"You must want to see the people in heaven, just like I want to go back to Fool City. There are some thoughts that you can never let go of in this lifetime."

"Yeah, I can't let it go." Honglian murmured.

"Where is the person in heaven? Is she that good to you? Is she worth your worry?"

"Is she okay? Maybe she's fine, she--" Honglian paused for a moment, and her tone suddenly changed, "Are you trying to trick me? Are you trying to trick me for that madman?"

"You are too suspicious," Miss Nine smiled, "I just want to tell you a few words from my heart. I really treat you as a sister."
