Luo Lijun was very angry, shaking her huge body as she returned to the pool.

Feng Daiku said beside him: "Young Master Li, I have never seen anyone dare to speak to the Inner State people like this, are you not afraid of provoking a major battle?"

Li Banfeng shook his head and laughed: "A few words can trigger a war, then what’s the difference between this war and a gang fight?

This war won’t start, whether Inner State or Outside Provinces, they don’t want to fight. But there’s one thing I’m curious about, why doesn’t Inner State want direct contact with Outside Provinces?

Miss Feng, do you know the reason here?"

Feng Daiku said: "I have thought about this too. As far as I know, the Inner State people always regard the Outside Provinces as enemies. They have strict clan rules, forbidding casual interaction with People from other provinces. Even saying a few more words may bring death."

Clan rules?

This is the first time Li Banfeng has heard this.

Li Banfeng spent a night at the soda kiln, taking the opportunity to check the factory’s construction progress.

The next day, as Li Banfeng was preparing to go to Greenwater City, Feng Daiku delivered the news once again, Luo Lijun had reappeared.

Yesterday, she yelled at Li Banfeng, stating that neither she nor her clan would ever accept Li Banfeng’s terms, nor would they accept Li Banfeng’s provocation.

But today, Luo Lijun changed her mind.

"I and my clansmen have discussed it, we can agree to the terms you mentioned, starting with securing the entrance to the soda kiln. We hope that here will no longer be disturbed by People from other provinces, including the Border Defense Envoy."

Li Banfeng said, "Can you speak a bit more directly?"

Luo Lijun said, "The soda kiln should no longer have the Defense Agency."

Feng Daiku looked at Li Banfeng, this requirement seemed too difficult, she thought Li Banfeng would refuse, but unexpectedly he agreed.

"I will negotiate with the Outside Provinces on this condition, to have them remove the Defense Agency. How will you handle the conditions I proposed?"

Luo Lijun trembled her tentacles and said, "We agree to add a new land, a hundred miles of territory, and attach a contract book, a complete pair of contract books."

Li Banfeng immediately nodded, "I will give you news as soon as possible."

Leaving the factory, Feng Daiku was quite worried about the current situation: "The Outside Provinces will never remove a single territory’s Border Defense Envoy. If they really do, then the soda kiln’s transportation might be interrupted. I’m afraid the conditions won’t be agreed upon this time."

"Whether it can be agreed upon, depends on the Outside Provinces’ attitude," Li Banfeng stood at the factory gate, deep in thought, "Now the Inner State’s attitude, I really can’t understand."

Feng Daiku said, "Should we probe them again?"

Li Banfeng nodded: "We should probe, but I’ll leave it to you. I need to go to the Outside Provinces, there are other things waiting for me, and many people waiting for me."

Feng Daiku was stunned: "What people are you talking about?"

"Many people, many..." Li Banfeng looked into the distance, without answering.

Looking at Li Banfeng’s side profile, Feng Daiku was slightly lost in thought, thinking about his arrogance and dominance in front of Inner State people, such a man perhaps is second to none in this world.

"Young Master Li, what kind of woman do you like?" Feng Daiku asked, her cheeks slightly red.

"Women who can sing." Li Banfeng answered frankly.

Feng Daiku smiled: "I can also sing some tunes. Young Master Li, what tune do you like to listen to?"

Li Banfeng thought for a moment and said: "When you sing a tune, can you emit smoke?"

Feng Daiku was puzzled: "What kind of smoke?"

Li Banfeng said seriously: "Like a train, puffing out white smoke."

"This, seems like, can’t..." Feng Daiku couldn’t understand Li Banfeng’s thinking.

"Then forget it." Li Banfeng shook his head and walked away.

Feng Daiku returned to her residence, leaning on the corridor pillar, staring blankly into space.

She took a copper mirror and looked carefully.

Feng Daiku is one of the top beauties in Puluo State, she is an Emotion Cultivator from Above the Clouds.

As long as someone looks at her more, what man in this world can resist?

Yet he asks if I can emit smoke?

What kind of logic is this?

...

Mu Yuejuan and Feng Chongli rowed the boat on the river for three whole days, and finally, a heavy rain came on the once clear river surface.

With the change in climate, it proved a new environment had been found, Mu Yuejuan found a new scroll.

Ahead was a bamboo forest, Feng Chongli rowed the small boat ashore, and when he set foot on land, he even felt a bit dizzy. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Through these days of exploration, Feng Chongli found some patterns: "These days, I’ve been thinking, if I dive into one of your paintings and randomly choose a direction to keep walking, will I end up in another scroll?

Why don’t I keep walking, can I complete a tour of all your paintings?"

Mu Yuejuan sneered: "Don’t ask me, try it yourself, see if you have the life to come out alive."

Through the bamboo forest, there was a pavilion ahead, a skinny man walked out of the pavilion, excitedly looking at Mu Yuejuan.

"You came..." The man quickly came forward.

Mu Yuejuan picked up a bamboo from the ground, then full of joy, she approached the man.

"How long have you waited for me?" Mu Yuejuan gently touched the man’s thin face.

"I’ve waited for you for three whole days." The man’s eyes were filled with tears, "I just believed, I could definitely wait for you."

"Why are you so foolish?" Mu Yuejuan lovingly wiped away the man’s tears.

There was a bamboo building beside the pavilion, the man held Mu Yuejuan’s hand, leading her to the bamboo building, and Mu Yuejuan accidentally stumbled.

"Ah~" Mu Yuejuan lightly exclaimed, the man quickly supported Mu Yuejuan.

"Let me see, did you hurt yourself." The man bent down, held Mu Yuejuan, and brought her into the bamboo building.
