Chapter 143 Loss of Face
The cold wind was howling, and the mountain top looked particularly desolate in the dark night.

The faint smell of blood and decay drifted down with the mountain breeze, causing the pretty female ghost below to frown.

Under normal circumstances, Xiaoli would run as far as she could.

This time, she was staring straight at the man on the top of the mountain who was comforted by the moonlight.

Cheng Long stood on the top of the mountain like an immortal demon god, with infinite power hidden in his strong body. At his feet, zombies with their heads chopped off were rotting rapidly and emitting a foul stench.

“How did it corrupt so quickly?”

Cheng Long frowned, then his body shook, leaving a long shadow on the spot, and flew down the mountain.

"Why don't you leave?"

"Sir, you asked me to watch the iron spear, how can I leave at will?"

Xiaoli held the gun in both hands, looking determined to accomplish her mission and obedient, trying her best to appear harmless, and some big shots fell for this.

"Not bad, you have a keen eye!"

He looked Xiaoli up and down.

Cheng Long said with a wicked smile: "I am still short of a spearman, I wonder if you..."

Whoosh!
The words have not yet fallen.

Xiaoli, who had just been expressing her loyalty, suddenly disappeared without a trace, and Tieqiang, who was left unsupported, immediately fell towards Cheng Long.

"What's wrong with being my ghost servant? You can also practice the Taiyin Xuanjing and have the hope of becoming an immortal!" Cheng Long curled his lips, grabbed the overturned iron spear and put it into the storage compartment.

He didn't care about Xiaoli's escape. With the well-educated and talented teacher Bai by his side, he was not very interested in other female ghosts.

Of course.

The main reason is Xiaoli’s appearance, which is not particularly outstanding. If it were Xiaohong in Ghost Bite Ghost, that would be a different story.

Xiaohong smells really good!
I just don't know if the ghost bites ghost plot happened.

I hope not.

……

The next day.

Inside the newly opened western restaurant in Renjia Town.

"Sir, your coffee."

A waitress in a dress brought a cup of coffee enthusiastically.

This girl's name is Mary, and her Chinese name is Qian Lili. She is a bit pretty, but when she wears a more open dress, revealing her delicate collarbone and snow-white skin, her charm rises dramatically.

Shi Shaojian, who was not far away, was staring at others with a squinting look.

"unlucky!"

"I can bump into him even when I'm having a meal!"

Noticing Cheng Long's teasing look, Shi Shaojian suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart. Every time he saw this bastard, something bad was bound to happen.

"Don't be troublesome."

Shi Jian warned in a low voice.

Although he has not yet found out whether Cheng Long is the leader of the Cheng family army, the other party's unfathomable cultivation level cannot be fake.

For a strong enemy like Cheng Long, either don't provoke him or kill him with one blow.

Otherwise, there will be endless troubles.

"Uncle Jian, that's my daughter. Not only is she capable, but she doesn't need to be paid."

The Western restaurant owner Qian noticed the gazes of Shi Jian and his son, and when he found that they were looking at his daughter, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he said these words openly.

Ancient families had completely different attitudes towards sons and daughters. For many people, daughters would get married sooner or later and become part of someone else's family, so they did not pay much attention to them.

Boss Qian has this mentality. While his daughter is still unmarried, he can save a lot of wages by using her one more day.

"Miss Qian is beautiful and intelligent, and she has a blessed appearance. With her around, your restaurant business will surely get better and better." Although Shi Jian is the eldest brother of Maoshan, since he has chosen to go down the mountain, he has to find a way to make money.

Therefore, when facing big money sponsors like Boss Qian, Shi Jian would also behave politely.

"Then I'll lend you some good advice."

As they were chatting, Uncle Jiu came up from downstairs alone with his hands behind his back.

"Qiu Sheng isn't here. Is he really in solitary confinement?"

Cheng Long originally thought that Uncle Jiu was just joking and was just pretending. He would let Qiu Sheng out after Qianhe, Simu and others left.

Now it seems that Uncle Jiu is serious about this.

It’s a good thing this way. Those two scumbags really need to be controlled, otherwise they will cause big trouble sooner or later.

"how many?"

Mary had just returned and had not seen Uncle Jiu yet. However, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai were not there. Even though she had never met Uncle Jiu, she could judge from his temperament that he was of noble status. He did not secretly ridicule them for being country bumpkins as in the original drama.

"Uncle Nine~~"

Before Uncle Jiu could say anything, Boss Qian came over with a smile on his face.

"Master Qian."

"Uncle Jiu, this is my daughter Mary. She is very capable."

"..."

Uncle Jiu smiled and didn't answer.

"Mary, take Uncle Nine to have a drink. I'll be here when I'm done talking."

"this way please……"

Just as Mary was about to take the person to the empty table, Uncle Jiu came straight to Cheng Long and said happily: "Fellow Daoist Cheng, all the brothers and sisters left this morning. I thought you left too, but I didn't expect you to still be here!"

"Renjia Town has a nice environment. I plan to stay for a few more days." "I should stay for a few more days so that I can show my hospitality as a good host."

"..."

Uncle Jiu and Cheng Long chatted for a while, and then Boss Qian, who looked like a mercenary, came over and sat down in front of the two of them.

"Uncle Jiu, who is this?"

"Friend Cheng~~"

Uncle Jiu did not answer immediately, but asked Cheng Long for his opinion.

Seeing this scene, Boss Qian was filled with awe, as Uncle Jiu was one of the most prestigious people in town.

But even such a respected Taoist priest had to ask questions before he dared to tell the true identity of the young man opposite him.

It can be seen that this person must be of great importance.

"Please do as you wish." Cheng Long said indifferently.

"Boss Qian, my Taoist friend's surname is Cheng, his given name is Long, and he lives in Pucheng..."

My surname is Cheng and my name is Long!

Boss Qian didn't react at first, until he heard that he lived in Pucheng, he suddenly realized, his eyes widened, and asked in surprise: "Are you Marshal Cheng?"

"Boss Qian, outside of Pucheng, I'm just a traveling Taoist priest. There's no need to be nervous." Cheng Long's nonchalant attitude directly confirmed his identity.

Boss Qian's eyes lit up immediately, and he said excitedly, "General Cheng, your presence here makes our store very happy! I wonder what you would like to eat, I'll ask my daughter to bring it to you."

"Just a piece of steak will do."

"Mary~~"

Boss Qian quickly turned his head to look at his busy daughter, called her to his side and said, "Go to the restaurant quickly and ask the chef to fry a piece of top-quality steak, and then come back to serve Marshal Cheng. You don't have to worry about the others."

"Marshal?" Mary's eyes widened.

"Don't ask, just go do your work."

Boss Qian doesn't want Cheng Long's identity to be known to everyone. There are many wealthy gentry and landlords in Renjia Town. If they knew that Marshal Cheng appeared in Renjia Town, they would definitely come running to show their courtesy.

He is not afraid of others.

I am afraid of Ren Tingting, who will inherit the family property but has little ability to keep it.

Although this girl has the support of Uncle Jiu and has given money to some relatives, she is a woman after all and will have to get married sooner or later. The close relatives of the Ren family have always wanted to take away the accumulation of several generations of the Ren family from her on the grounds that the money of the Ren family must be controlled by the Ren family.

Even in another town called Renjia, hundreds of miles away, her second grandfather Ren Tiandi had similar ideas.

In the past three years, Ren Tingting has been under tremendous pressure.

Everyone, including her cousin Awei, was spying on everything about her, and they were all as vicious as wolves and tigers.

If Ren Tingting were to meet the handsome and unrivaled Marshal Cheng, she would offer herself to him that very night.

This is not a joke, but something that is very likely to happen.

Unless Ren Tingting is willing to give up everything and take some money and move away.

"Uncle Jiu, your nephew seems to have some evil intentions."

Cheng Long was sitting right in front of the kitchen entrance. Shi Shaojian took advantage of Mary passing by and secretly pulled out a strand of her hair, which he saw clearly.

"I will remind my brother."

Uncle Jiu sighed quietly.

Shi Shaojian pulled the woman's hair, obviously intending to do something bad.

But in this kind of matter, you have to catch the thief and expose the dirty things before people can be speechless. It is really difficult to convict someone just by pulling out a girl's hair.

If Shi Shaojian had a thicker skin, he could even openly admit that he loved Mary and pulled a hair out of her to indulge in his obsession.

Boss Qian saw that the two had almost finished their whispering conversation, so he took a puff of his pipe and said with a sad face, "Uncle Jiu, I didn't believe in Feng Shui, but this western restaurant has been tepid since it opened, with little business. I suspect there is something wrong with the Feng Shui."

"Wind refers to air currents. The restaurant is backed by mountains and faces the sea. There's a breeze blowing on my face when I sit here. There shouldn't be any problem with the wind..."

"What about water?"

Uncle Jiu smiled and said nothing.

Feng Shui has said it, so how can he make money?

Last night, he treated all his comrades to a banquet with delicious food and fish, and gave them red envelopes for travel expenses. This morning, he even burned all the paper money in his house as an apology to appease the four ghost messengers.

He is extremely poor now, with no money in his pocket. Boss Qian wants to know if there is something wrong with the water, but it will be difficult for him to do so.

"Haha, look at my memory." Boss Qian smiled awkwardly and said hastily, "Uncle Jiu, wait a minute, I'll go get you the money. Is twenty dollars enough?"

"Uh... ten dollars is enough."

Uncle Jiu originally wanted to offer five dollars, but when he saw Cheng Long standing beside him, he added a little more symbolically.

"Ten dollars?"

Boss Qian said with a straight face, "Uncle Jiu, are you looking down on yourself or me? Twenty is twenty, not a cent less."

"Hmph, let's go."

Not far away, Shi Jian, who heard Boss Qian raising the price on his own initiative, became so angry that his face turned red and he stormed out.

I offered ten dollars, and the boss had to consider the price. But in the end, he went to my junior brother and offered to raise the money. He didn't give me ten dollars, but insisted on twenty.

Although he knew that Boss Qian's purpose of raising the price was mainly to give face to Cheng Long.

But Cheng Long gained face and his junior brother made money, but what was damaged was his reputation and income!

The eldest brother of Maoshan came to grab the business, but he couldn't even win over others. If this gets out, how can Shi Jian live with dignity?

this moment!
Shi Jian really wanted to beat the damn Boss Qian to death with his Lightning Thunder Fist!

Then kill Lin Fengjiao and Cheng Long to vent his hatred!
