Chapter 2046 - 2049: The Dark Department's Xiu Ju Unveils the Secrets

The brilliant sunlight filtering through the window mesh cast an air of complete satisfaction. A shy and happy Miao Xiaoxia had already slipped into light blue, figure-hugging jeans. Years of parkour had sculpted her perfect form, accentuated by her long legs. Her white, tight-fitting cotton tank top faintly revealed the two dimples on her lower back."I'm going to be late for class." After quickly getting herself ready, the Medical University's campus queen, Miao Xiaoxia, gave Shen Qiang a peck on the cheek and dashed out, saying, "See you this weekend."

"Alright, drive safely."

Watching her retreating figure, Shen Qiang, leaning against the headboard, smiled.

Actually, Miao Xiaoxia's passion for parkour was just the tip of the iceberg.

It's like someone who saved up for ages to finally buy a car, thinking they're the best and most outstanding—only to discover that everyone around them owns aircraft carriers.

This realization hit her pride hard.

It was the same for the beautiful teacher, Ju Yang.

If they hadn't entered the cultivation world, undoubtedly, they would both be dazzling women, admired everywhere they went.

They were confident, mature, and proud, goddesses whom ordinary people could only look up to.

But now, living in Heshenghe, they seemed out of place with the rest.

And this was just what Shen Qiang knew. It was only the beginning. Lv Shuyao, Xin Xiaoting, Miao Xiaoxia, Su Xiaonuan, and Ju Yang were not cultivators. Now, they might still be laughing and pretending nothing was wrong.

But in the future, once they truly understood how noble and capable Bai Jiao, Xu Nan, Qin Yurou, and Pan Meiqing were in the cultivation world, they would eventually feel too inferior to set foot in Heshenghe.

Even if they dared.

They wouldn't be able to hold their heads high in front of others.

"I must refine the Foundation Establishment Pill. If not, it'll lead to big problems sooner or later. How can someone who lacks confidence be beautiful?"

Shen Qiang made a silent decision in his heart.

Just then, Shen Qiang's phone rang. When he picked it up, he saw that the caller was none other than Xiu Ju of the Dark Department, who had dual personalities.

This made Shen Qiang chuckle.

"Hello, my dear Xiu Ju, we're so lucky to have you in Heshenghe's internal investigation. Otherwise, I wouldn't know what to do. I've missed you, and I was just about to visit you, but your call came first. Is this a telepathic connection? By the way, I've already bought you your favorite little yellow book. You'll definitely love it."

"Shut up! Just because we've slept together dozens of times, don't think you can speak nonsense in front of me."

Xiu Ju's voice instantly wiped the smile off Shen Qiang's face.

"I warn you, when you speak to me, don't chatter and joke around. I never read yellow books. If you sneak those into my storage ring again, I'll stomp out your third leg!"

No need to think about it, this must be Xiu Ju's second personality.

"Alright, I apologize for my joke. So, what's the real reason for your call?" Knowing full well that Xiu Ju's dual personality made her one of the best agents in the Dragon Group's Dark Department, Shen Qiang knew that usually, this personality would only awaken after intercepting evidence of a crime, so undoubtedly, something very important had happened.

"Last night, a demon was killed outside Heshenghe Mountain Villa. From what we know so far, it was probably the Great Demon Mountain Ape. The demon killed was Wu Bu, someone greatly trusted by the Great Demon Geng Jingyi, making Geng Jingyi very furious. Now, he's rallied nearly a hundred Great Demons seeking trouble."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang frowned, saying, "Interesting, these guys still haven't learned their lesson. Just yesterday, three cultivators attempted to frame us, and it seems they haven't sobered up yet."

Xiu Ju coldly replied, "The situation is different. This Geng Jingyi is not an ordinary Great Demon; he has extensive connections in the demon circle with great popularity. Many Great Demons owe him favors and call him 'Big Brother.' He's a demon who can rally support with a single call."

"And that Mountain Ape is also an infamous old demon in the cultivation world, with a violent nature and a group of demons under him. From what we understand, the Mountain Ape did this to form an alliance with Geng Jingyi."

Shen Qiang frowned, "The Mountain Ape wants to form an alliance with Geng Jingyi, yet secretly killed Geng Jingyi's brother? What's the logic in that? I don't get it."

"People band together when faced with external threats, and demons are the same. Geng Jingyi is impressive and powerful, but not enough to confront Heshenghe alone. If he identifies Heshenghe as his enemy, to win, he must seek external help. In this scenario, the Mountain Ape inviting him to form an alliance becomes a close ally."

Xiu Ju laid it out logically.

Shen Qiang instantly understood, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. So, this Mountain Ape is our enemy. He seeks to win over Geng Jingyi, but Geng Jingyi seems uninterested, so he eliminates Geng Jingyi's brother and frames Heshenghe to use this as leverage to persuade Geng Jingyi to join forces with him."

"That's the general situation. They've planned to meet at a tavern in the small town in one hour, so you must quickly decide whether to take people and eradicate them or watch them form an alliance and suffer passive retaliation."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang frowned, pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "Do we really only have three hundred and fourteen demons at Heshenghe?"

Xiu Ju was silent for a moment, then said, "The twelve Great Demons chosen for inspection answer only to you and me, not included in the list."

"Understood." Shen Qiang smiled, "So you successfully placed our demon spies beside Geng Jingyi and the Mountain Ape, uncovering all this."

"Tell me, what do you intend to do?" Xiu Ju's tone was cold.

Shen Qiang smiled, "Your tone isn't quite endearing. Against maliciously intentioned enemies, we must show no mercy. However, pure bloodshed and slaughter aren't the optimal solutions. Therefore, if possible, I need you to send me information about the Mountain Ape and Geng Jingyi. Once I've grasped the situation, I'll let you know."

Xiu Ju said, "Fine, but don't forget, you only have one hour. I'd advise against recklessly setting a tiger free to run or releasing a dragon into the sea. The path to fame is paved with the bones of the fallen. The best strategy is to eliminate them, leaving no future worries."

"Don't try to sway my decisions. Heshenghe is under my command, Shen Qiang. What you need to do is send me the intel, then await my orders."

Saying this, without waiting for Xiu Ju's response, Shen Qiang, unyielding, hung up the phone.
