Chapter 163 A Master of Romance
"Feng...Boss Feng?"

Zhou Sheng never expected that she would come here from the ghost town in broad daylight.

Most importantly, he listened to everything he had just said...

"You, how did you get here?"

Looking at the tall, elegant woman in a blue robe under the umbrella, with her hair tied in a high ponytail, Zhou Sheng felt a chill run down his spine. He felt a strange sense of guilt, as if he had done something wrong.

But then he thought again, something's not right.

He himself was also a "victim," while the woman from that fairyland simply woke up, dusted herself off, and left.

"Hongying has come to congratulate Boss Long on winning the favor of that beautiful fairy. He is sure to rise to prominence and have a bright future."

"I hope that Boss Long can give Xiao Feng more guidance in the future."

hiss!
Upon hearing these words, Zhou Sheng gasped, feeling a chill rising up from his tailbone.

This female ghost has such a strong resentment!

Yu Zhensheng watched this scene with a smile, feeling extremely pleased. "You little rascal, always chasing after women and being a womanizer."

Why shouldn't you suffer the same hardships I did back then?
Back in the day, he was in his prime, handsome and charming. Although he was a womanizer, he also had his moments of stumbling, and was once chased by a woman for thousands of miles.

You little rascal, aren't you supposed to be a master strategist?
He wanted to see just how much of his skill this brat possessed.

"Phoenix - Red Tassel".

Zhou Sheng's gaze did not waver at all; instead, he looked intently at Yao Tai Feng, addressing her as "Hong Ying" instead of "Boss Feng."

The gentle call alone made Yao Taifeng pause slightly, and the playfulness in her eyes vanished instantly.

Ok?
Yu Zhensheng's expression was off. This kid... seems to actually have something?
Immediately afterwards, a hint of sadness flashed in Zhou Sheng's eyes, and he gave Yao Taifeng a forlorn smile.

“We not only acted together on the same stage, but also fought side by side many times, sharing life and death. Do you think I am the kind of person who climbs the social ladder and chases fame and fortune?”

Wow!

Yu Zhensheng became serious, and couldn't help but applaud in his heart.

What a blatant attempt to shift the blame!
This brat... he's got some skills!

"of course not."

Yao Taifeng quickly said, "Dragon... Danshan, I was just joking with you. I know this is not your fault."

Her voice became very gentle, no longer sharp as before.

"You, you shouldn't be upset, how about... I apologize to you?"

Zhou Sheng shook his head and said, "No, I should apologize to you. You risked your life to help me last night, and you must have been injured too, but I didn't go to see you right away."

"Hongying, I'm so sorry, I was really too tired when I got back last night, and I lost consciousness as soon as I fell asleep. I can't remember anything."

hiss!
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhensheng was not only surprised, but also silently analyzed and studied it in his heart.

The apprentice's move was brilliant.

He not only explained why he didn't go to the ghost town last night, but also pointed out that he was unconscious all night and did nothing.

Most importantly, this description creates a pitiful image of a woman exhausted after a great battle, forced to drag her wounded body home alone, which easily evokes a woman's "maternal love".

As expected, upon hearing this, Yao Taifeng quickly stepped forward to support Zhou Sheng, checked his body, and said with concern, "I almost forgot about the important matter. I came here this time because I was worried about whether you were injured. Of course, I'm not the only one..."

She hurriedly explained, "Master, Xiao Wu, Yun Niang, and Hong Xian all care about you. I... I just came to see you on behalf of everyone."

Zhou Sheng pressed down on that slender and beautiful jade hand with his other hand. Because it was a ghost, it felt cold to the touch, but it was exceptionally smooth and boneless.

When her hand was held by the other person, especially in front of others, Yao Taifeng's handsome face flushed slightly.

She tried to pull back, but felt his strong and powerful attitude. She lowered her eyes and let him hold her hand.

"I'm also very worried about everyone. I hope nothing happened last night."

Zhou Sheng grasped Yao Taifeng's hand, his large hand enveloping it completely, like a powerful and domineering overlord on a stage, while casually discussing other topics. Unbeknownst to him, the situation had been entirely under his control.

Yu Zhensheng's eyes gleamed with a strange light, as if he were seeing his disciple for the first time.

When did this kid become so amazing?

It possesses both an aggressive and domineering nature, as well as a subtle and pervasive guidance. What appears to be a question is actually a way to give Yao Tai Feng a way out of embarrassment and allow her to accept the situation gracefully.

The Yangtze River's waves push the previous waves forward, and a new generation replaces the old!

At this moment, Yu Zhensheng suddenly realized that he seemed to have really grown old.

Little did they know, Zhou Sheng was silently grateful to Luo Shu at that moment...

"Everything went smoothly last night. With the city lord's personal decree, my master has taken initial control of the ghost soldiers in the ghost city. Although there were some setbacks, my master resolved them all."

Zhou Sheng nodded upon hearing this; Uncle Guan had indeed not disappointed him.

"As for Juxianlou, it has already been rebuilt. After the fire evil power was neutralized, no one chose to reincarnate; everyone stayed."

"After all, with a master to look after me, living in the ghost city is much better than being reincarnated..."

Yao Taifeng spoke eloquently, her eyes gleaming slightly.

Under Zhou Sheng's command, they achieved an unprecedented victory in this great battle, not only regaining their freedom but also changing the entire landscape of the ghost town.

The future looks bright and promising, like the sun breaking through the clouds.

"However, now that Master has become a general, he won't have time to lead Juxianlou anymore. After discussing it, we all feel..."

She smiled at Zhou Sheng, her eyes sparkling.

"You should be the next head of the troupe."

"This is inappropriate."

Zhou Sheng shook his head and said, "I'm a living person, and in terms of seniority, you're the most suitable. Besides, I might not have that much time to manage things—"

"I'll help you."

Yao Taifeng smiled and said, "I usually help you manage things, but you will always be the head of Juxianlou. Of course, you can also arrange for someone else to help me."

While it was called "helping," what it really meant was that if Zhou Sheng wasn't comfortable with it, he could send another trusted confidant over.

"Well, that makes sense."

Zhou Sheng nodded, pondering seriously, "We really need to arrange for another one of our own. Let me think..."

"Oh, so you really don't believe me?"

She glared at Zhou Sheng, seemingly both angry and annoyed, her silver teeth lightly biting her red lips, like a little phoenix with its feathers standing on end.

"Let my senior sister, who is from the same lineage as me, help you manage Juxianlou."

Yao Taifeng was taken aback, then burst out laughing.

"Alright, alright, now that I'm clinging to your coattails, the little tail of the red thread is probably going to be wagging its tail in the sky."

The two looked at each other, and the image of Hongxian's "arrogant and domineering" appearance flashed through their minds, and they couldn't help but laugh.

"By the way, what about Jinse? How is she?"

Zhou Sheng asked casually.

After the battle last night, Jinse's ten fingers were bleeding, indicating that she had suffered a serious injury, but she left immediately and her whereabouts are unknown.

Yao Taifeng looked at him with a half-smile, her eyes flashing slightly.

"Speaking of Jinse, I am indeed a little curious. Danshan, when did you and my close friend become so close?"
