Yang Chen was quite surprised to see Fu Shi here. When he finds out that she is Fu Ting's mother, He plans to meet her at a later time because of his curiosity about Fu Ting's past.After his observation, He was puzzled about Fu Ting's withdrawn nature, contrary to her AA-rank berserker talent.
Yang Chen heard from the instructors that She had no control over her talent, and it was largely influenced by her emotions.
He also inquired from his daughter and learned that except for a few times, Fu ting never used her talent in front of others.
As Fu Shi entered the shop, Yang Chen quickly followed behind her, putting his hand into his pocket and entered the shop.
Fu Shi, who heard the footsteps from the entrance, turned her head at the right time and met eyes with him.
His eyes flashed in surprise as if he didn't expect to meet here while he secretly scanned the interior of the shop, searching for the person he had planned to meet.
Fu Shi blinked her eyes confused before regaining her composure, but her heart was filled with surprise and disbelief. After she left the mansion and returned home that day, she assumed she would never meet him again.
After all, He is a human from a different world and even lives in a luxurious mansion in the underworld, unlike other humans.
On the other hand, She lives in the poorest part of the city, working as a bus conductor and still in the ethereal apprentice realm despite reaching forty.
To tell the truth, Fu Shi had been wondering why she felt drawn towards Yang Chen when she had a horrible past with men.
'As expected, She is different from the young girls.' Yang Chen smiled after seeing her maintain her composure, but at the same time, He was confused about whether Han Zhenya had gone.
'Nyx, Where is that woman?'
'Is she spying on me?'
Yang Chen asked Nyx as he walked towards Gu Shi with a smile on his face.
"Are you here to buy some flowers?" He asked, picking up a rose from the basket and smelling the flowery scent.
"Ah, I am here to help the shopkeeper."
Fu Shi was startled by his sudden question, but she managed to mutter up a reply immediately.
'Oh…' Hearing her words, Yang Chen was amused, knowing that Han Zhenya was probably putting on an act in front of others as a helpless blind lady. He could also tell that Fu Shi learned the information about the underground gangs from Han Zhenya.
However, One thing he didn't know was whether Fu Shi was also a gang member of gangs managed by Han Zhenya's underlings.
'Master, She is hiding in the storeroom and eavesdropping on your conversation' Just then, Nyx spoke with a cold voice, laced with murderous intent.
'That woman harbors killing intent towards you, master'
'Should I just silence her?'
Yang Chen was speechless after hearing her words. He knew Nyx truly meant what she said.
If he gave his approval, Han Zhenya would die without knowing it herself.
'That's unnecessary.' He refused as he had already expected Han Zhenya to react in this way, but seeing how she wanted to kill him when he hadn't done anything, Yang Chen wondered the reason for her killing intent.
'Nyx, Did she display any murderous intent before I started conversing with Fu Shi?'
The reason he asked this question was simple. Han Zhenya should have sensed him coming long before with her spectral sense.
If she harbored killing intent from the start after sensing him, Then he could dismiss it as Han Zhenya's nature.
'Otherwise...'
He turned his head and looked at Fu Shi with a discerning look, as if he wanted to see through her.
'Your guess is correct, master'
'That woman seems to have some connection with Fu Shi'
Hearing her words, Yang Chen grinned while looking at Fu Shi's puzzled face.
"Do you want to know about a secret?"
Yang Chen asked Fu Shi as he moved closer to her and placed the rose on her left ear.
No matter how hard she tried to maintain her composure, Her face couldn't help but turn red because of his abrupt actions. At the same time, Han Zhenya, who was observing the scene with her spectral sense, was overflowing with a murderous aura.
The only thing that held her back was the soul contract that she signed in the past.
"Wha-what kind of secret is it and why do you want to tell me?" Fu Shi backed away from him and asked with a suspicious look on her face.
"Oh, It's nothing. I just want to tell you that I am the new principal of the academy." Seeing her reaction, Yang Chen shook his head with a smile and said with a nonchalant expression.
"What!?" Fu Shi was stunned to hear his words and looked at him in disbelief.
Yang Chen shrugged with an amusing smile and walked towards the coffee table. He gestured for her to take a seat before sitting on the chair.
He picked up a bottle and took a sip of water while using 'God's wisdom' on her.

"Pfft"
After taking a look at her status panel, Yang Chen spit out the water and stared at Fu Shi with a dumbfounded face.
'She got devoured?' Yang Chen wiped the water off his mouth and asked himself internally.
Just then, He saw her trying to control her laughter and clutching her stomach.
'This woman….. How could she still smile after losing her physique?'
His previous impression entirely changed after seeing her status panel.
'I just had an assumption that Fu ting's talent had something to do with her past, but I didn't expect it to be true'
'Did she awaken her talent after seeing her mother in danger?'
Yang Chen felt like he found the missing piece of a puzzle. Countless questions formed in his mind about Fu Shi's and her daughter's past.
Just as he was about to ask her a question, He heard footsteps coming from the direction of the storeroom.
'Has she finally decided to show herself?
Although, Yang chen was dissatisfied about the time of her entrance. He still hasn't forgotten his motive. He turned back and looked in the direction where the footsteps sounded.
His dissatisfaction seemed to vanish as he laid his eyes upon the gorgeous beauty who was making her way towards them.
She had long purple hair cascading down her back and was dressed in a black, long-sleeved T-shirt paired with dark blue jeans. Over her shirt, she wore a long apron.
Her body had an ideal hourglass shape, with a large chest and curvy hips, yet a slender waist.
However, her most striking feature wasn't her figure—it was the blindfold she wore, which gave her an air of detachment.
Yang Chen had a hard time believing that this woman was the former gangster queen who controlled the mafia gangs from all over the ghost-human kingdom.
He couldn't contain his curiosity and immediately used 'God's wisdom' on her.
[Name: Han Zhenya]

[Cultivation: Soul sage tenth stage]
[Talent: Eyes of Karma(S-rank) (partially awakened)]

'This…. This….'
Yang Chen was at a loss for words after reading through her status panel.
'The gangster queen has an S-rank talent related to Karma...'
This discovery refreshed his cognition, and he couldn't help but feel ridiculous. However, He also knows that everything isn't the same as it appears on the surface.
'A milf who got her physique devoured by someone and…. A milf who lost her eyesight but has the eyes of karma'.
Yang Chen thought in amusement as he raised his head and looked at Han Zhenya, who had already reached his side.
"Sir, What type of flower are you intending to buy?" Han Zhenya asked with a gentle smile on her face.
