Chapter 314: The Land Deity's Contract
The Mountain-Uprooting Lord swept her gaze over the severed limbs and broken remains scattered around the room, then sneered. "You usually pretend to be such a kind-hearted woman, yet behind closed doors, you are this cruel and vicious. A two-faced wretch like you deserves to be cut into ten thousand pieces."

The Mountain-Uprooting Lord swung her cane. "Are you the dwelling spirit?"
"That's right!" Hong Ying flicked her spear tip, clearly proud of herself. The spear tip was now stained crimson, and paired with its original metallic base, it had a strange, striking beauty.
The Mountain-Uprooting Lord raised her cane to strike, but the Gramophone called out first, "Aiya, you hussy, what kind of dwelling spirit do you think you are? Since when do you get to make decisions in this house?"
The Mountain-Uprooting Lord looked toward the Gramophone. At first, she had only noticed it puffing steam and smoke, so she had mistaken it for a tea stove. Only now did she realize there was a record spinning on top of it, and sound could even come from its horn.

The Mountain-Uprooting Lord turned to Li Banfeng. "Are you also a dwelling spirit?"
