Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo'-Chapter 703 - 470: Hero Zhao Xiaowan

What kind of organization is the Flying General Camp?

Who is their leader? Why would they impersonate my wife?

This matter sounded absurd, yet it had to be closely monitored. Li Banfeng rewarded Kui Bafang and, at the same time, informed Old Luo, instructing him to pay extra attention to any news related to the Flying General Camp.

Old Luo was worried that Da Boyins had more tricks up his sleeve. "Seventh Master," he said, "if the matter with Lu Dongliang has been settled, it’s best you return to Greenwater City first. These fake Foreign Devils are not easy to deal with; they have many schemes in New Land."

Li Qi wasn’t too worried, as he had his own share of experiences in New Land. "A new dance hall has opened on Shaping Road," he said. "You go and take care of the business there."

Luo Zhengnan was taken aback. "You want me to look after the dance hall’s business?"

Li Banfeng smiled. "Your business, of course, must be looked after by you."

"My own business..." Luo Zhengnan murmured.

Li Qi gave Luo Zhengnan a dance hall; it was his rightful reward.

Luo Zhengnan could hardly believe it. "Seventh Master, my identity cannot be exposed..."

"Who says so?" Li Banfeng responded very seriously. "Old Luo, stand up straight. If the Jiang Xiang Gang dares to touch you, we will exterminate their entire clan!"

Luo Zhengnan thanked him repeatedly. After hanging up the phone, he pulled the antenna from his head and stowed it away in a box.

He stood on the balcony with his hands behind his back, his posture very straight.

...

Li Banfeng returned to Fool’s City. Because the entrance had changed, the journey took an extra two hours.

Upon arrival at Changsan Book Residence, he first found an empty room to store the key safely, then entered his Portable Residence.

Watching Li Banfeng move corpses toward the door, his wife asked, "Hey, husband, that’s our stockpile. Why are you moving it outside?"

Li Banfeng chuckled. "This rough grub isn’t something you all enjoy anyway. I’m sending them out first; there’s still a whole family outside waiting to eat."

"Hmph, you madman!" the Phonograph huffed angrily. "You have another family outside? Isn’t this household of people serving you enough?"

"These two families are different."

"How are they different?"

"The other family doesn’t have a wife; I only have you as my beloved wife. Don’t fuss over these mere leftovers!"

Lu Dongliang’s subordinates didn’t have high cultivation levels. One at the Fifth Layer was given to Red Lotus for Alchemy, and another at the Fifth Layer was kept for the Projector to recuperate. Li Banfeng dispatched the rest to the Book Residence.

In the Book Residence, everyone was overjoyed. Yan Qing’er first picked out a pair of eyeballs to fit onto Tang Changfa.

Tang Changfa blinked, his eyes feeling a bit dry. The eyeballs weren’t moving smoothly, so he went to the back kitchen, found a small bottle of vegetable oil, dripped some into his eye sockets, and felt much more comfortable.

They slowly distributed the remaining flesh and bones among themselves. Li Banfeng had stored a large amount of blood with the Blood-Thirsty Pendulum, specifically prepared for Yan Cui’er.

This wasn’t favoritism on Li Banfeng’s part; Yan Cui’er’s physique had been altered by Li Banfeng using the Body Masonry Technique, allowing blood to circulate within her body. Only she could utilize this blood.

With the fresh blood, the already voluptuous Yan Cui’er became even more supple, radiant, and alluringly charming.

Yan Qing’er grew irritated. "Why does only she get some? Why isn’t there any for us?"

Li Banfeng didn’t speak. Among the girls, Yan Hong’er was the smartest and quickly said, "When the Shopkeeper was learning the Technique, Yan Cui’er contributed greatly. It’s only right that she receives a bit more affection. In the future, if we serve the Shopkeeper well, rewards won’t be lacking. Today, Seventh Master brought us so many good things; what’s there to be discontented about?"

Li Banfeng liked hearing that. Next time I use the Body Masonry Technique, I should modify Yan Hong’er as well, he thought.

However, truth be told, Li Banfeng didn’t actually know how to use the Body Masonry Technique at all; he used the Paste given to him by Sun Tiecheng.

He’d given the Paste to his wife now. I need to find a chance to ask Old Sun for another box, he mused.

"Where has our City Lord gone?"

Tang Changfa said, "I heard he’s found a romantic interest outside. Every morning, he gets all spruced up and leaves, not coming back until late into the night."

Li Banfeng scoffed, "With so many fine girls in the city, why does he need to seek romance outside? How improper!"

Tang Changfa agreed, "Our Shopkeeper is much more decent. When you become City Lord, we’ll find our romantic interests right here in the city!"

While everyone was busy dividing the flesh and bones, Li Banfeng returned to the Portable Residence again, bringing each of the girls two boxes of Rouge.

Tang Changfa, who had contributed the most, was presented with a Curved Blade by Li Banfeng.

This Curved Blade was a Spiritual Object. Two old hunters in Zhengjing Village had caught an Evil Spirit. It was too ferocious and difficult to carry, so they had a Craftsman Cultivator turn it into a Curved Blade and sold it directly in the village.

This Curved Blade sought life. Once it pierced a body, no matter the location, the blade tip would automatically extend towards the head—fast and ruthless.

Tang Changfa accepted the Curved Blade, his face tinged with shame. "Shopkeeper," he said, "I just wanted to drive away the Eldest Young Master. I couldn’t even manage such a minor task, yet you’re giving me such a valuable item. It doesn’t seem right."

Li Banfeng said sternly, "It’s appropriate. How is it not? I rely on you to manage all my affairs in the city. Your contributions alone deserve a heavy reward. Furthermore, in our business, we encounter all kinds of people. When troublemakers come looking to stir things up, it’s all up to you to handle them. You’re always grabbing a kitchen knife to chop people. If word of that gets out, people will gossip, thinking we’re running a shady establishment, which would tarnish our reputation."

Tang Changfa didn’t quite understand. "Using a Curved Blade to chop people doesn’t make it a shady business?"

Li Banfeng frowned. "You’re being dense. This Curved Blade is much more effective than a kitchen knife. No matter where you strike, it can sever the other party’s head. If they don’t have a head, they can’t talk. Then our reputation will be safe, won’t it?"

Tang Changfa slapped his chest. "Shopkeeper, rest assured! You are going to be the City Lord. If anyone dares to speak ill of you, I’ll be the first to cut them down!"
