Chapter 2171 - 2174: Wenren Meiqiao’s Proud Happiness (Fifth Update)

Early next morning, as dawn was breaking, Shen Qiang woke up. The rain was falling outside the window, the breezeway window stirred the curtains, and the wind quietly coming in carried a hint of chill. But beside him, Pan Meiqing lay, soft and warm, like a little sun, making people feel warm and comfortable.

"Did you sleep well?" Shen Qiang asked with a smile as he wrapped his arms around her.

She giggled shyly and nodded gently with happiness in her eyes, quietly nestling in his arms.

Her hair, carrying a faint fragrance, brushed against Shen Qiang's cheek, tickling him, yet he was still reluctant to push her away.

"Are you adapting? Do you like it here?"

Upon hearing this, Pan Meiqing shyly raised her beautiful eyes to look at Shen Qiang and said, "I like it here, especially the demons in front, they're so interesting and adorable, totally mismatched with their fierce appearance."

Shen Qiang chuckled and said, "As long as you like it here, it's fine. I have to return to Beijing in a while."

Pan Meiqing heard this and said, somewhat coquettishly, "Take me back with you. I don't feel at ease with you alone."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang smiled with his eyes, and said, "You are our secret weapon at Heshenghe, the ultimate weapon, the sect's powerhouse. You know about Gong Ziyi, right? He's not one to shy away from any means. I'm out there, my whereabouts uncertain, but the Heshenghe Mountain Villa cannot move, so you have to stay here. When you have time, help me take care of Qin Yurou."

Pan Meiqing sighed and then said, "Qin Yurou is quite impressive. Although her cultivation is not as high as mine, she's very smart. In these few days, she's already interacted with everyone in the villa, and she's more adaptable than me."

Shen Qiang smiled: "Jealous?"

Pan Meiqing chuckled softly, "Would you believe me if I said no?"

"I believe you, because even if you were really jealous, you wouldn't cause trouble."

Pan Meiqing's beautiful eyes were charming, and she remained silent for half a minute before saying, "They're all great, really amazing. I'm just a bit worried about you. After all, we've both been in the Illusion Demolition Group and have seen the dark side of the cultivation world, so I know very well about your hardships outside."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Understanding each other is precious."

Pan Meiqing smiled and said, "Abyss Young Master, Gong Ziyi, his Dao Fruit, known as Funeral, is very powerful. But alongside its power, the activation speed of his Dao Fruit is extremely slow."

Shen Qiang laughed: "Understood. Last time I beat him so badly he was searching for his teeth on the ground, he still couldn't use it."

Upon hearing this, Pan Meiqing said, "You cannot be careless because of this. A Dao Fruit, inherently, can change a part of the surrounding rules with one's own strength. For example, under normal circumstances, Earth has gravity, but some Dao Fruits can make gravity disappear. This is a kind of mystical rule-based technique."

"So before you reach the Dao Fruit Stage, try not to engage with Gong Ziyi, because once he finds an opportunity to use his Dao Fruit, with your Mixed Element Realm cultivation, it will be very difficult to resist."

Shen Qiang smiled.

In fact, through continuous training and cultivation during this period, Shen Qiang is very confident in taking Gong Ziyi down before he can use his Dao Fruit.

But the problem is, not only are there the four great generals around him, but there are also other cultivators.

For a moment, Shen Qiang couldn't help but feel a bit dazed.

Meanwhile, Pan Meiqing said, "I know you disregard my words, but it's important to be cautious, and you said your mask would be personally picked up by Qian Shanxue—this means her cultivation has achieved some results, and the time won't be too late."

Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Do you think if she returned, I wouldn't have to worry about Gong Ziyi?"

Pan Meiqing shook her head and said seriously, "To suppress Gong Ziyi, unless your strength is formidable enough to make him wary, otherwise he wouldn't give you any consideration."

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Qiang said, "Rest assured, whether the opponent is ordinary or Gong Ziyi, I will give it my all and not leave him any opportunity."

Upon hearing this, Pan Meiqing smiled after saying, "Believe me, until you can suppress his grandfather's power, it's best not to provoke him, otherwise they will ruin this place."

Shen Qiang, hearing this, inexplicably thought of the scene when he first met Qingxuan, and then couldn't help but smile slightly: "Don't worry, Heshenghe is full of hidden talents, soon it will shock the cultivation world!"

Two hours later.

Beijing.

The time is just about eight o'clock.

Wenren Meiqiao was already seated in her office.

"General, just as Shen Qiang anticipated, at twenty-three o'clock last night, Gong Ziyi openly issued a declaration in the abyss. Our people have already transcribed it, and here it is for you to review." The excited female assistant placed a transcribed declaration on Wenren Meiqiao's desk.

While Wenren Meiqiao was reading, her female assistant excitedly said, "You know, Shen Qiang seems like a magical being, seeing through everything clearly, just like a demon. Yesterday afternoon, you said Shen Qiang thought Gong Ziyi might issue a declaration openly denying the bounty on Shen Qiang's head, and sure enough, Gong Ziyi did issue one last night. Shen Qiang is simply like a prophet."

Wenren Meiqiao chuckled: "It's nothing special. Shen Qiang is not only the Dragon Group's security advisor, but also the disciple of the War God. Moreover, Shen Qiang is the Medicine King, King of Demons, with a multitude of ties and interests involving various forces. Gong Ziyi is formidable, but not formidable enough to directly place a bounty on Shen Qiang."

"Because if he doesn't immediately dissociate himself, what's awaiting him could be opposition from the Dragon Group, as well as hostility from Cheng Xinyi, Wan Xin Hesheng, Medicine King Valley, Thirty-two Skillful Hands, Heshenghe, and other sects. No matter how strong he is, he wouldn't dare take on this thunderstorm, so he can only swallow back the words he said."

"That's awesome." The middle-aged female assistant said with excitement in her eyes as she looked at Wenren Meiqiao: "I really envy you for finding such a prodigy. My man, hehe, is so hopelessly dumb."

Wenren Meiqiao proudly and happily said, "This is nothing. Shen Qiang, that cunning guy is really conspiring. In this cultivation world, those who try to take advantage of him and plot against him are just making fools of themselves."

"Oh, I'm really unlucky," the female assistant said. "If only I could find a man like that, no matter where I go, I wouldn't suffer."

Watching her female assistant sigh with a wistful expression, Wenren Meiqiao laughed: "A man too smart is not a good thing, not easy to control."

"That's because you have one," the assistant said indifferently.

Wenren Meiqiao smiled, her eyes proud and satisfied, but then glanced at her watch—it was nearly the time she had agreed on with Shen Qiang—and she couldn't help but change the topic: "Did you bring the investigation report and related information on Jinli Qianning?"
