Li Banfeng returned to Miss Chu's residence. Seeing that she was still fast asleep, he quietly entered the Pocket Dwelling.
His wifey cried out, "Heyaaaaa~ Husband dear~ How did you get hurt like this?"
Li Banfeng was indeed badly injured. His face was bruised and swollen, almost beyond recognition.
"Wifey, I need to ask you something. Do you know Granny Bitter?"
"Granny Bitter? Which Granny Bitter?"
"The Granny Bitter from Bitter Greens Manor."
Li Banfeng had already asked the liquor gourd, the Tang Saber, and even the Judge's Brush. Not a single enchanted artifact by his side recognized Granny Bitter.

What happened to my wifey?
"Heyaa~ Heyaaa~ She is not a land deity, then what could she be? What could she be? oooooooooohahahahahahahahahahahhahahahAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!"
His wifey did not merely laugh. She exploded.
Steam shot out in furious white spurts, as if a dozen angry kettles had all begun shrieking at once. The gears inside her belly whirred and clanked and spun so fast that Li Banfeng half-expected...
