When we returned to the county government office, another group of people were already waiting there.

After all, maintaining the operation of the county government is a big deal, and it is impossible for all of them to go out to welcome Fang Zhengyi.

However, everyone still made some arrangements in advance, and two rows of people lined up at the door to welcome them.

As soon as Fang Zheng stepped through the door, everyone cheered and started shouting things like "Welcome home, Master!"

He was naturally very pleased, but as his eyes wandered, he spotted a familiar face.

Fang Zheng raised his hand and greeted him with a smile: "Master Wu, long time no see?"

Wu Sheng smiled and bowed slightly. "I haven't seen you for a long time. I am relieved to see that you are well."

Fang Zhengyi also smiled and raised his arms, saying, "Everyone go back to your own business. We'll have plenty of time to meet each other in the future." Then he turned to look at Wu Sheng, "Master, what have you been busy with recently? Do you have any new works to be released?"

Wu Sheng smiled slightly and said modestly: "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. I'm not afraid that the master will laugh at me for writing a book now."

"Write a book? What kind of masterpiece?"

When asked about books, Wu Sheng's expression showed a hint of embarrassment, and it was obvious that he was a little uncomfortable in front of Fang Zhengyi.

After all, he was an official before, and now Fang Zhengyi is an official himself. He feels that what he writes is not presentable.

Ao Chen beside him came up, his tone excited: "Master, Master Wu's work this time is amazing."

"A wonderful book! It is truly a wonderful book. Everyone in the county loves to read it. It is a collection of ethics, love and hatred, suspense, action, and strange stories. It covers everything."

"Oh?" Fang Zheng became interested. "There is such a strange book. What's its name?"

"Red Face Tears!"

Hiss~ Just hearing this name sounds very perverted. Taoyuan County's culture has already gone astray. Will this kind of thing lead the children in the county astray?

Fang Zhengyi was about to ask when Ao Chen asked first, "Master Wu, the work should have reached the next story now, right? What's the next chapter about?"

Seeing him like this, Fang Zhengyi's curiosity grew stronger. Ao Chen was a serious person, but even he was so interested. This showed how poisonous this book was!

Seeing Fang Zheng's curious look, Wu Sheng could only cough twice and said, "I already have the outline. It's about the love-hate relationship between the spirits and the nobles."

Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio? Nothing special!

Fang Zhengyi secretly curled his lips.

This hint of disdain was keenly caught by Wu Sheng!

No matter who looks down on me in Taoyuan County, I must not let the master look down on me, Wu Sheng thought to himself.

Then he stroked his beard and began to speak slowly: "This story is not just a simple ghost story. I dare say it is definitely not found on the market!"

"Please speak!" Fang Zheng's eyes lit up.

"To put it simply, this story is about a mermaid princess in the Dragon Palace and a prince who fell in love. The prince went out to sea to fish and accidentally fished the mermaid princess ashore. The mermaid transformed into a human form, but was naked and tangled in fishing nets."

"The prince was immediately attracted by the beauty of the mermaid, and the mermaid fell in love with the prince at first sight. Unfortunately, the mermaid's tail would soon emerge after she left the water, so in order to be with the prince, she drank the magic potion from the Dragon Palace and transformed herself into a human form for a long time."

"Unfortunately, after drinking the medicine, she could no longer speak, and the court could not allow a mute girl to marry into the royal family. The prince wanted to force the mermaid to marry him for love, regardless of worldly obstacles."

"Unexpectedly, the imperial teacher in the court discovered the clue and used an elixir to break the mermaid's illusion. But the mermaid was no ordinary creature. Because of her magical powers, only a fish head was transformed back. The prince was shocked and cut off its head with a knife."

Fang Zhengyi and Ao Chen both fell into a daze

Fang Zhengyi, in particular, was in a mess, fearing that Andersen would jump out from somewhere with a knife in his hand.

Seeing their reactions, Wu Sheng nodded in satisfaction and continued, "So far it's just an ordinary story, the excitement is yet to come."

"Since the mermaid has magical powers, she is certainly not afraid of mortal weapons! The mermaid is actually an octopus, and the head is transformed from one of its claws. The reason why she is ready to be killed is to elope with the prince and escape!"

"The mermaid had already privately asked Prime Minister Turtle to inform the prince of the plan, but she never expected that Prime Minister Turtle would be a step slower!"

"When the prince discovered that he had killed his beloved, he was so grief-stricken that he drew his sword and committed suicide!"

"When the mermaid woke up from her suspended animation, she found that her lover was dead, so she blew up her own meridians and died in love. The two were buried together on the seashore, and finally turned into scallops to live together... Master, what do you think?"

The mermaid princess Juliet and the scallop prince Liang Shanbo?

What the hell is this?!

Fang Zheng's face flushed red, and he grunted and squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Very good..."

Ao Chen didn't think it was strange, and listened to it with fascination. After his emotions subsided, he asked curiously, "Why is the princess in the Dragon Palace a fish? Shouldn't she be a dragon girl?"

Wu Sheng sighed and said, "That will be the human drama of the next season."

"So that's how it is. Everything connects together. Master Wu is truly a talented person!" Ao Chen was full of admiration.

Fang Zhengyi: "..."

After Wu Sheng finished speaking, he reached into his arms and fumbled around for a while, then took out something and handed it to Fang Zhengyi.

"Master, this is so that this story can be performed in the theater in the future. I have specially customized the props."

Wu Sheng gently shook the mass apart, and when it was fully revealed, Fang Zheng felt his scalp tingling for an instant!

Wu Sheng was still talking to himself: "This fishing net wrapped around the body must be particularly attractive, so I asked a tailor to make this fishing net dress. Because the tailor's skills are not very skilled, he only made two legs first, but it seems to be good, so it's a good opportunity for you to have a sneak peek."
