Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo'-Chapter 701 - 469 Flying General Camp_3

...

The Phonograph removed the bloody stains from Li Banfeng’s clothes and dripped them onto the cabbage seeds.

After the cabbages had grown, Li Banfeng smiled.

This bait isn’t working.

The person that grew out of the cabbage was Gu Rusong himself. Li Banfeng wanted him to disguise himself as Lu Dongliang, but the Cabbage People didn’t have this function.

Now, it was up to his wife to turn him into Lu Dongliang.

While his wife was adjusting the Cabbage Person’s appearance, the Projector arrived in the Fifth Room and imagined a new film.

On the twilight grasslands, a pure and innocent girl in a simple blue dress was running ahead.

A young man in a black Zhongshan suit was chasing closely behind her.

The young man caught up with the girl and placed a Beaded Flower upon her head.

The girl’s look was somewhat odd; she had a student’s haircut, also known as a "mushroom" cut, which wasn’t quite suitable for accessories like Beaded Flowers.

Let’s not quibble over these details; it’s the thought that counts.

The man in the Zhongshan suit, holding the girl’s hand, said, "I want to be with you for the rest of my life."

The girl shook her head and said, "That’s not enough; I want you with me for many lifetimes."

"Okay!" The young man agreed, embraced the girl, and admired the sunset on the grasslands silently. "Let’s recall the stories of our past lives here, slowly."

The girl nodded and shyly snuggled into the young man’s arms.

The Projector was very nervous.

Seventh Guide, I’ve done my best.

If I can get any information, it’s my good luck.

If I can’t, then it’s up to you.

At the entrance of Zhengjing Village, there was a poplar tree with a very large canopy under which Bagworm Moths and Yanzi often rested.

Today, there was another woman under the tree. Yanzi looked her up and down and asked, "Are you waiting for someone here?"

Lu Dongchun nodded, "Waiting for my man."

Yanzi laughed, "What a coincidence, I also like to wait here for my man. Surely we’re not waiting for the same person? Is your man good to you?"

Lu Dongchun was silent for a moment before replying, "He’s very nice to me, the only person in the world who is nice to me."

Yanzi flicked the antennae on her head with a tone of disdain, "That’s not a fun thing to say. We women don’t have to live for men. I don’t believe no one else is good to you in this world!"

Lu Dongchun looked at Yanzi and asked, "Is your man good to you?" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Yanzi snorted, "He’s nice to me when he sleeps with me, but when he sleeps with other women, he’s nice to them. There’s nothing I can do if I’m anxious about it. That’s why I say we can’t live for men. Next time I see him, I’m definitely not giving him a pleasant face."

Lu Dongchun lowered her head and said, "My man isn’t like that; he’s usually nice to me, but when it comes to that, he doesn’t understand anything."

Yanzi laughed, "Doesn’t understand anything? Do you have to teach him? Is your man a fledgling?"

Lu Dongchun shook her head. "He wasn’t like that before. He used to know everything, and the things he knew, the things he could do, all frightened me. But now, he suddenly doesn’t know them anymore, and I don’t understand why."

Yanzi frowned, "Sister, is that still your man? Haven’t you encountered something evil?"

"Is that so? I don’t know," Lu Dongchun sighed. Her delicate face, pale and expressionless, looked like a porcelain doll.

Yanzi kept her distance. Even though she was a Wandering Monster with a high cultivation level, she felt some apprehension seeing Lu Dongchun’s sinister appearance.

On the small path in the distance, a group of people slowly approached.

Yanzi’s eyes lit up, and she quickly greeted them, "Wulang, you’re back!"

Ma Wu returned.

He was preparing to transport a batch of precious goods from Zhengjing Village to Loess Bridge to attract merchants from the surrounding area and boost the human energy of Loess Bridge.

Seeing Yanzi rushing over, Ma Wu embraced her and kissed her chubby cheek hard.

Yanzi turned her head and looked under the tree, "There was a woman there, quite sinister. She was also waiting for her man. Was she waiting for you?"

Ma Wu glanced under the tree, "What woman?"

Yanzi furrowed her brows, "She was just here, but now she’s gone. That person’s cultivation level isn’t low!"

Ma Wu patted Yanzi and stared at the big poplar tree.

In the weeds beside the poplar tree, Lu Dongchun was also watching Ma Wu.

It had been two whole days with no news of Lu Dongliang, and she was worried he might be in trouble.

She feared that Lu Dongliang had fallen into Li Qi’s hands. If that was indeed the case, the only plan she could think of now was to capture Ma Wu and force Li Qi to release Lu Dongliang.

There were two women by Ma Wu’s side, presumably with good skills.

The Straw Moth Lady was even more troublesome.

But no matter how difficult it might be to deal with, she had to try, as there was nothing left in this world she cared about anyway.

Just as Lu Dongchun was about to rush out of the weeds, a strand of spider silk wrapped around her arm.

The spider silk vibrated, causing Lu Dongchun’s clothes to vibrate as well.

The essence of sound is vibration. As Lu Dongchun’s clothes vibrated, it was as if she could hear a voice, "Don’t go over there, don’t be impulsive. To go now would be suicide."

Lu Dongchun responded through the vibrations, "Who are you?"

"I’m here to help you. Whether you’re willing to admit it or not, Li Qi and Ma Wu are the tyrants of Puluo State, no different from the Four Great Noble Families of the past. Facing any one of them alone is like courting death. But if you accept my help, you still have a chance to survive."

This person spoke in a strange tone; he had a Puluo State accent, yet there was a hint of Foreign Devils in his speech.

As Ma Wu approached the thicket, Lu Dongchun had to either charge out and fight for her life or hurry away. Continuing to lie in the weeds could only mean death.

The spider silk transmitted another message, "Come with me. I know you’re doing this for Lu Dongliang. I want to help him, too, but we have to first find out where he is."
