A Time-Traveling Mishap: I Became an Ancient Nobleman

Chapter 274 The Surgery is Complete

When it was Zhou Hanzhang's turn to hand over the tools, he always seemed to have a premonition, accurately handing over the required tools before Qianmian even opened his mouth.

Even someone with a thousand faces who has seen countless people couldn't help but give Zhou Hanzhang a higher evaluation.

Throughout the process, Qianmian's technique is like that of an artisan sculpting clay, making precise and rapid adjustments to their faces.

Before long, the work on Qianmian was completed.

Before Zhou Hanzhang and Jiang Mingyun could even see his specific actions, Lisa and Robert's faces were already covered up.

At this moment, Qianmian seemed to have exhausted a great deal of energy. Although someone was wiping his sweat, his hair and clothes were still soaked with sweat.

Clearly, the job was not as easy as he made it out to be.

Stepping outside, Zhou Hanzhang looked up at the sun, estimating that the surgery had lasted for about three hours.

After Jiang Mingyun came out, her eyes kept secretly following Qianmian.

Finally, Qianmian couldn't help but tease, "Little girl, you've been staring at me. Could it be that you're attracted to my beauty?"

"...No, I meant, they're still unconscious, could there be any problems?"

“I really didn’t expect you to doubt this. Even if you have doubts about me, I can assure you that they will be absolutely fine. They are just temporarily unconscious and will wake up in a little while.”

Hearing this answer, Jiang Mingyun finally felt relieved. "That's good. I was really scared. This is the first time I've ever seen something like this. Will they really be able to recover completely in a month?"

Zhou Hanzhang noticed that Qianmian's originally smiling face had turned slightly cold, and quickly pulled Jiang Mingyun, who was like a curious child, back, "Don't you know what kind of person Qianmian is? Of course there's no problem."

As soon as Jiang Mingyun spoke, Qianmian's face returned to its usual radiant smile.

"Zhang Zhang speaks so well, no wonder Sister Ni You likes you so much. With your clever tongue, you'd definitely be the top choice if you went to our Red Beauty Pavilion."

Jiang Mingyun glared at Qianmian for his outrageous words: "What nonsense are you talking about? Brother Hanzhang is a minor prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty. How could he possibly go to a place like yours?"

"Oh dear, you're all here today, aren't you? What? It's a good place when you're asking for favors, but becomes that kind of place after you've gotten them? A young girl like you, yet you're more heartbreaking than those unfaithful men." Qianmian joked with Jiang Mingyun.

Even though Jiang Mingyun had lived two lives, this was the first time she had ever met someone like Qianmian. She was so angry that her face turned red, but she couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

Seeing that Jiang Mingyun was about to cry from grievance, Zhou Hanzhang glared at Qianmian and said, "If you keep teasing her like this, I will not keep my promise to you."

Qianmian then stopped joking and bowed to Jiang Mingyun, saying, "I was wrong, please forgive me, sister."

"..."

Jiang Mingyun's mind was still filled with the image of Qianmian dressed as a man. Now, he was bowing gracefully to her in the form of Fangniang, which made her shiver involuntarily and instinctively hide behind Zhou Hanzhang.

Qianmian almost couldn't help but twitch her lips when she saw Jiang Mingyun like this.

Over the years, it's rare to see two oddballs like these.

"Alright, your sister has been busy for so long, and I'm hungry too. Hurry up and have someone prepare a meal, otherwise I won't have the strength to go back to my brothel later."

Jiang Mingyun naturally did not want such a person to stay in Zhou Hanzhang's villa.

She disregarded the distinction between host and guest and quickly helped Zhou Hanzhang instruct the servants to prepare food for Qianmian.

After Jiang Mingyun left, the woman resembling Fangniang sat down on a stool, poured herself a cup of tea, and pushed it to the seat opposite her, saying, "Sit down and have a cup of tea with me."

Zhou Hanzhang didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly.

"So, why haven't you revealed your true identity to that girl yet?"

Zhou Hanzhang looked at him with a cold gaze, "Do you think I'm like you? Able to change clothes in front of others at will. This is a requirement of the royal family; I must keep my male attire a secret from everyone."

"You must have gone through a lot of trouble."

Qianmian truly meant what he said; he knew all too well what it was like to always present a different face to others.

He then asked with some concern, "So, according to you, you still stand by what you promised me, right?"

"Of course it counts, as long as you do what we agreed beforehand and don't let others see any flaws."

"That's impossible. Who do you think I am, a man of a thousand faces? If others could recognize you as Zhou Hanzhang, I'd be done with this business forever, okay?"

When the woman, who resembled Fangniang, spoke these words with a coquettish tone, even though Zhou Hanzhang knew she was a man, he couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort.

No wonder those men all like to go to the Red Beauty Brothel. With Fangniang and the people she trained there, it's already a miracle that no one has died inside.

Seeing that Zhou Hanzhang was also staring blankly at her, Qianmian laughed even harder, "Goodness, you haven't fallen for me too, have you?"

He couldn't resist reaching out to pinch Zhou Hanzhang's cheek, just as Jiang Mingyun returned after arranging things.

Jiang Mingyun suddenly stood in front of Zhou Hanzhang, her cheeks puffed up with anger, "Don't touch me."

Qianmian laughed so hard she almost fell over: "Okay, okay, I won't mess with your Hanzhang brother."

Jiang Mingyun then angrily sat down between the two of them.

"Oh dear, you don't have to be so wary of me, do you? Putting aside the fact that I'm your sister Ni You, even without that connection, I'm not a casual person. I do things based entirely on money and goodwill. If there's no money or benefit, I would never do a losing business."

It took Jiang Mingyun a while to realize that she was referring to the incident of harassing Zhou Hanzhang, and she couldn't help but spit out, "You talk as if you're some kind of virtuous woman."

"Hey, you're right. Even though I run this brothel, I'm still a virgin."

Zhou Hanzhang recalled some rumors he had heard before and asked with some doubt, "I seem to remember quite a few people saying they wanted to spend the night with you?"

Thousand Faces' eyes lit up, and he seemed a little excited. "Really? There's not only a legend about me, Thousand Faces, but also a legend about Fang Niang outside? That's really great!"

"No, I mean..."

Zhou Hanzhang didn't say what he was going to say next, but his meaning was already quite clear.

"Oh dear, you call yourself Sister Ni You's disciple? Doesn't your senior brother have a lot of medicine? I can just ask him to make some medicine that can induce hallucinations, right?"

Zhou Hanzhang thought about it and realized it made sense. Shen Moli had told her before that he had been cooperating with people in Hongyanfang, but she hadn't expected them to have this kind of relationship.
