A master of comedy!

Chapter 146 The Drunken Concubine
Zhu Zhu?

Upon hearing this nauseatingly affectionate address, Zhou Sheng got goosebumps all over and looked at his master with a strange expression.

Yu Zhensheng's old face flushed slightly, but he still called out, "Zhu Zhu, are you there? I heard from my disciple that you were injured, so I rushed to see you."

The next moment, a faint voice rang out.

"So you still know to come over... Yulang."

Her voice had a slightly husky, alluring quality, especially the last two words, which contained a hint of coquettishness, making Zhou Sheng's scalp tingle.

Immediately afterwards, a figure gracefully approached.

She wore a fitted purple dress with silver peony embroidery on the hem, and her hair was styled in a high bun with a gold filigree spider hairpin inlaid with rubies.

Holding a Xiangfei jade bamboo pipe, she parted her red lips slightly and exhaled a wisp of smoke.

Yu Zhensheng looked concerned and quickly stepped forward to examine the wound, saying, "Where are you injured? Let me take a look."

Aunt Zhu rolled her eyes at him, tapped Zhou Sheng with her pipe, and gave him a half-smile.

"Stop pretending. Aren't you afraid your precious apprentice will laugh at you?"

"I failed to save this little fellow and was defeated by the General's blade. You've come here to interrogate me, haven't you?"

Zhou Sheng gasped. Why did he feel like his teacher's wife was a little... jealous?

Yu Zhensheng coughed and said, "How could I blame Zhu Zhu? I'm so worried about you, I haven't been able to sleep these past few days because I've been thinking about you so much..."

vomit!
Zhou Sheng maintained a smile on the surface, but inside he was nauseous.

too disgusting!

It's disgusting!
Zhou Sheng just listened, his toes silently digging into the ground.

"I heard you were injured, so I quickly went to Old Zheng to borrow a healing pouch for you. Danshan, why don't you take it out quickly?"

Yu Zhensheng turned around and gave a signal with his eyes.

Zhou Sheng quickly took out his green pouch and said respectfully, "Master's wife, thank you for saving me at Juxian Tower."

Aunt Zhu's gaze lingered on the green pouch for a few moments before she smiled sweetly.

"Danshan, you're not bad, but don't be like your master in the future, fickle and flirtatious."

Yu Zhensheng coughed and said, "What do you mean?"

"Hehe, do you want me to count them for you? I'm afraid you can't even count them all on one hand."

"However... the fact that you were able to borrow the City God's magic bag shows you still have some conscience."

Aunt Zhu used her pipe to lift the green pouch, took a gentle puff, and a wisp of pale blue smoke flew out of the pouch, landed on her, and disappeared without a trace.

Aunt Zhu's fair complexion seemed to have become a little rosier.

This is the second function of the Qingnang. As a bag specifically for carrying medical books, it automatically generates a stream of Yi Wood Qi every month, which can cure diseases, detoxify, and heal injuries.

Yu Zhensheng also realized that he had been too concerned about his disciple and had neglected her. Seeing that her expression had improved, he quickly took the opportunity to climb up the ladder.

"Zhu Zhu, do you still remember when I taught you to sing opera? That song 'The Drunken Concubine' only sounds the best when sung by your Yang Yuhuan."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhu's gaze softened even more.

"You're one to talk! I asked you to teach me opera, and as you sang... you actually started to think of yourself as Emperor Xuanzong of Tang."

"Danshan, you must never follow your master's example and use opera to take advantage of people."

Although she was a spider demon, she loved to sing opera. That year, she heard that the famous Zhao family troupe was going to set up a stage nearby to perform, so she went to watch the opera and greatly admired the handsome martial arts actor Yu Zhensheng.

She was still very young at the time, but after a while, she fell in love with him.

He left in anger only after seeing Yu Zhensheng flirting and being ambiguous with other women.

"Ahem, give me some face in front of my apprentice."

Yu Zhensheng's lips moved slightly as he whispered something using a telepathic method.

Aunt Zhu smiled faintly, then took another puff of her pipe and said, "Alright, you master and apprentice don't need to act anymore. Tell me, what did you call me here for?"

Yu Zhensheng tried to argue, but she cut him off. "You don't come here without a reason. Every time you come, you have a purpose."

"If you don't tell me soon, my little shop... will have to close down."

Yu Zhensheng glanced at Zhou Sheng and gestured for his apprentice to take over.

"Master's wife, I do have a favor to ask of you."

"what's up?"

“There are forty-nine sheep hidden in that green bag. I would like to ask my master’s wife to weave a garment for each of them…”

After he finished explaining his specific requirements, Aunt Zhu's eyes flickered slightly, and she smiled, "It's quite a big project, and the price won't be cheap."

Yu Zhensheng forced a smile and said, "Zhu Zhu, for my sake, could you possibly pay on credit?"

"Your pride is worthless."

Aunt Zhu gave him a disdainful look, then smiled sweetly.

"However, this order will be free."

She exhaled a smoke ring and smiled, "Consider this my gift to Danshan as his wife."

……

One hour later.

Zhou Sheng took the green pouch and went to the vicinity of the general's mansion. He found a secluded place and then took out the small zither that Jinse had given him.

After the magic power was poured in, the little zither suddenly shone brightly, and then automatically grew larger. After three breaths, it was no different from an ordinary zither.

Now that the Grand General is being punished in the ancient cave, and the Leopard General and Eagle General have been killed by him and Yaotai Feng, the General's Mansion is leaderless, so there is no need to be too wary, and it is more convenient to act.

After thinking for a moment, he placed the guqin across his lap and began to play.

Clang~
The sound of the zither was crisp and clear, like the sound of a mountain spring or a gentle breeze on a mountain ridge, but the melody was rather chaotic and the technique was even more appalling.

Zhou Sheng has absolutely no experience playing the piano, and with time running out, he doesn't have time to learn anymore, so he can only rely on his intuition.

Not long after they started playing, a melody suddenly rang out, seemingly echoing from afar.

Even more miraculously, the moment he heard the music, he actually heard the other person's innermost thoughts. He couldn't hide it, he couldn't lie. It was as if their souls merged, and they were completely honest and selfless.

"My God, how can there be such awful music in the world?"

"It feels so uncomfortable, like ants are crawling all over my body. I can barely sit still. I even went off-key a few times just now..."

"How can I tell him tactfully that it really, really, really awful to hear..."

"Stop...stop it...I really can't hold back anymore..."

That was Jinse's true feeling, and Zhou Sheng felt a burning sensation on his face upon hearing it.

At the same time, he is also trying to convey his thoughts.

"I'm so sorry, I'm right outside the General's Mansion. If you can come out, let's meet in front of that side gate and talk face to face."

"Okay, okay, okay!"

The other party replied with three "okay"s in a row, clearly very eager.

The music abruptly stopped, and their first interaction with their mother and daughter zithers did not end as expected, but rather in an awkward and hasty manner.

Not long after, a figure secretly slipped out from the side door.

Wearing a white silk dress made of celestial water, she moved like ripples on water, with the silk belt around her waist fluttering slightly in the morning breeze.

Holding a guqin, she is elegant and graceful, like a fairy who has descended to earth secretly at dawn.

However, her snow-white skin still seemed to retain a strange rosy hue, as if it had just been gently brushed by a feather.

Their eyes met, and for a moment, it was rather awkward.
