Master Bai! This Celestial Fox Spirit Is Asking For Divorce

Chapter 136: Episode 12.3 Madam Zhen

"Kyaaa!" Yanyan literally jumped on Shen Yuan’s lap when someone suddenly burst into the private lounge. On the other hand, the daddy instinctively hugged his son for fear that Yanyan would roll on the carpeted floor.

"Who’s that doggemon?" Shen Yuan asked himself. His perfect sword eyebrows raised a little as he looked at this stranger who shouted his name, and one thing that he could say was that his impression of someone who shouted his name with desperation did not apply to the one he was seeing now.

It’s a woman who’s probably in her mid-thirties. Wearing thick black square-framed glasses, this stranger looked like a terror professor everyone fears in college. His pouting duck lips looked unapologetic as she approached Shen Yuan, looking pensive.

"By chance, does this woman know the original Shen Yuan?" The celestial fox spirit thought. He isn’t sure what the secondary gender of this lady is.

Despite her slender and bony physical and facial structure, she has a rather strong personality.

Shen Yuan internally groaned. Why is he even wondering? That doesn’t matter! What’s important is that this new little face has good intentions for him!

"Madam Zhen, I didn’t expect you to come," Bai Tingfeng formally greeted, but he was immediately silenced by an abrupt shhh by the former.

The hell! Did someone just make Bai Tingfeng shut up? Shen Yuan was surprised.

Most of the time, the people that they encounter outside are always respectful—or an ass-kisser even— when facing Bai Tingfeng. It could be attributed to their family’s wealth and influence, but mostly because his husband is an active and famous S-Class hunter himself.

So, it was really a surprise that someone (aside from him, of course) had the balls to shut up the handsome and powerful Bai Tingfeng.

Who is this Madam Zhen? Shen Yuan must admit that this woman exudes the aura of a confident and well-established power lady.

On the other hand, Madam Zhen stopped directly in front of Shen Yuan and Yanyan.

"Hmmm, slightly broad shoulder coupled with slim yet curvy waist and strong child-bearing hips. The photographs and celebrity articles do not lie. You’re really a visual king of this generation."

This simple comment instantly brought back Shen Yuan’s raised eyebrow. Did this Madam Zhen just openly check on him?

It doesn’t sound sexualized. In fact, even with her unsmiling face, he could still feel that that statement was purely complimenting. However, this made the celestial fox spirit complicated. Should he be offended that someone scrutinized him on his face, or should he be happy because his looks were praised?

"Oh, that’s rather rude of me, my bad," Madam Zhen was quickly brought back to reality before Shen Yuan could say anything. "I just had a brief lapse of judgment there."

She then nodded at Yanyan with a tiny smile on her lips, "Anyway, pardon my blunder if I unwittingly startled you. I’m Zhen Peizhi, the head magic item crafter of Crimson Anvil and, at the same time, the CEO."

Shen Yuan noticed the other’s expression eased, so he eased himself.

Yanyan politely waved at the new face and then timidly retreated to his daddy’s chest.

Shen Yuan assuringly hugged the boy. He then turned to Madam Zhen.

"You made the ones displayed outside?"

Madam Zhen shook his head, "No, those are made by my apprentices. I don’t want to brag, but my creations are only accessible in showrooms and lounges like this, and most of them are bought and used by clients who are slightly lesser or comparable to the status of your husband, Bai Tingfeng."

Don’t want to brag? But that is downright bragging, you know? Shen Yuan said to himself. He cast an inquiring side glance at his husband.

"Madam Zhen created my light combat armor, and I must say, it is highly durable. The protection it covers is indeed top-notch even if we compare it to international standards," Bai Tingfeng explained. "She’s the best in making custom equipment for hunters."

Shen Yuan returned his attention to Madam Zhen. She seemed quite pleased that he received high praise from Bai Tingfeng.

Well, if she is really that good at her craft, then this level of pompousness is understandable. At least this Madam Zhen is pretty straightforward in how she treats him. No matter how high or low his status is and wherever he is, Shen Yuan would rather mingle with these egotistical people than those smiling faces who hide their snakeskin behind their ears.

"Then, may I know what business you have with me?" Shen Yuan reciprocated the straightforwardness— which Madam Zhen seemed to find satisfying.

The smile on her face became a little bigger, slightly wiping off her frigid aura, "Well, since you’re here, I assume you are looking for equipment you’ll be using as an agent?"

Shen Yuan nodded. That’s a very close assumption, "Actually, I’m here for some dungeon essentials. You know, weapons, armor, and some support items. I’ll be working as dungeon marshal for the time being."

Madam Zhen was taken aback, "Dungeon Marshal?! What is Chairman Mao thinking?! You’re an S-Class awakener! Extremely overqualified for an entry position in Hunter Association!"

Well, he really can’t explain that he’s doing it for a confidential mission, so Shen Yuan subtly brushed it off, "I’m completely new with the industry, so I needed to familiarize myself first before taking bigger responsibility in the organization."

"That’s reasonable, but I could imagine it. Chairman Mao will be under fire, especially from the omega community, following all the news of their first S-Class awakener," Something flashed in Madam Zhen’s eyes. Still, Shen Yuan and Bai Tingfeng missed it since it was covered with thick glasses.

"And you, too, will receive some heat. Some people will not look kindly in your situation. They will mock you and say that you have fallen from grace since you ceased your activity in the fashion scenes. Anyway, do you not have plans to continue your modeling career? Will you just focus on doing government work now?"

Ever since the celestial fox spirit came to this world, the original Shen Yuan model account on all social media became inactive. This is because Shen Yuan was busy acclimating to this new world. Taking care of Yanyan, dealing with Bai Tingfeng, and adding to that the hassles he’s gone through in the form of Gu Jinpeng, Zhu Kai, and Mo Zhu.

His time and attention are jam-packed these days.

He really couldn’t find the right time to retrieve it.

Instead, he created a new one that is solely for casual browsing and hardly has any posts and interaction.

"My answer in my press conference before remained unchanged. I will still do it as a side gig. But that depends if there’s any brand willing to work with me," Shen Yuan smirked.

Obviously, everyone wants to work with an S-Class omega!

Madam Zhen is aware that most of these brands are just around, silently waiting for an opportunity to strike a deal with the hottest omega. They are simply being careful out of respect for Shen Yuan’s status as an S-Class awakener.

But Madam Zhen is built differently from these businessmen.

She smiled at Shen Yuan. This time, it was broader and warmer than before.

"Believe me, they do, Shen Yuan," She mysteriously said.

Shen Yuan and Bai Tingfeng exchanged glances with one another. Silently, they had a hunch about where this was going.

"You know, Shen Yuan. I have some newly created high-quality mage’s robes and other equipment in my workroom. It’s already done and calibrated for safety and effectiveness. Would you mind looking at it? I think it’s perfect for you," And so, Madam Zhen fired her first pitch.

It was thrown with much control, probably because of her pride in her work. The celestial fox spirit could guess that people are approaching her to buy her product. Suggesting like this must be difficult for her.

Shen Yuan looked at Madam Zhen amusedly, "Well, why not? Let’s take a look. My husband holds you in high regard, so I assume your work is quite worthwhile."

Madam Zhen’s smile twitched. Her work is just called "quite worthwhile"?!

"Fine! I will awe you with my creation and make you beg to buy it from me!" she thought, slightly indignant.

However, Madam Zhen didn’t let her bruised ego get the best of her. She ushered Shen Yuan and his family to his workroom, where he will proudly present her work.

The celestial fox is actually imagining a work area that looks close or like a forge. Dusty and the heavy smell of metal are considerable. However, what greeted Shen Yuan was something close to a laboratory with a used yet correctly cleaned and maintained crucible, anvil, and some considerably large machines here and there. There were also glass panels that contained different items— much like the ones he saw in the mall.

Shen Yuan is instantly attracted by the changshan in the center of the room.

Madam Zhen saw it and smiled smugly internally. True enough, her skill in making custom equipment is unparalleled. Even if the person doesn’t know that his craft is meant for them, they will instantly feel the connection.

Presently, Shen Yuan is the perfect example of that. The S-Class omega took the bait willingly before he could throw it. All that is left is to make Shen Yuan agree to her request.

"I shall be the first to make Shen Yuan my model!"
