Chapter 2058 - 2061: When Feelings Run Deep, Words Contradict the Heart (Fifth Update)

Following behind the beautiful lady, Gao Hui, as she walked upstairs, Shen Qiang not only caught a faint scent but also sensed her quickening heartbeat. However, at this moment, Shen Qiang was not nervous.Because if Gao Hui really wanted to refuse Shen Qiang, she wouldn't have invited him over for tea at such a late hour, even if he had said he was thirsty.

Old apartment complex, no elevator, third floor.

The apartment wasn't big, roughly fifty square meters. A small living room connected to a balcony, kitchen, bathroom, and a bedroom. The décor was old wooden style, simple, focused on practicality, unremarkable but very clean.

"Do you have slippers for me?" Shen Qiang asked as he entered the room.

Gao Hui blushed instantly, "Yes, in the shoe cabinet by the door, unopened. You can open them yourself."

Saying this, the beautiful Gao Hui quickly changed her shoes and rushed onto the balcony to hurriedly gather the clothes hung there.

Her flustered and shy manner made Shen Qiang feel like laughing.

Obviously, Gao Hui hadn't anticipated having a guest over at her house.

Unpacking the new men's slippers, Shen Qiang put them on and his eyes lit up as he walked further in, smiling, "They fit perfectly. Did you prepare these just for me?"

Gao Hui blushed deeply down to her neck, frowning and playfully said, "No, they're just a pair to keep at home for whoever visits."

Shen Qiang smiled, his eyes narrowing, "I'm sure that's the case because you wouldn't let others in apart from me."

Blushing even more, Gao Hui frowned, "What are you talking about? So full of yourself, it's not like that."

Yet as she spoke, her voice grew softer until it was almost inaudible.

Seeing her hastily stuffing clothes into the basket, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "If you pack them up while they're still damp, you might have to wash them again tomorrow."

"Mind your own business," Gao Hui retorted, her face still flushed.

Shen Qiang chuckled and closed the curtains.

When he turned back, Gao Hui's face was flushed red as if about to bleed, and she was holding her breath.

"What are you doing?"

Gao Hui looked at Shen Qiang with tense eyes. Though only three words, her voice betrayed her trembling nerves.

Lowering his head, looking at Gao Hui who was looking up at him, Shen Qiang whispered, "I'm not leaving tonight."

Instantly, Gao Hui, her face flushed to the point of bleeding, nervously said, "Then, then, you sleep on the sofa, I..."

"Take a bath. I'll wait for you in the bedroom," he whispered in her ear, smiling as he went into Gao Hui's bedroom.

Watching Shen Qiang's tall retreating figure, she not only felt shy but also became more charming.

"Sticky like candy, can't shake you off, so annoying, acting like a child even at your age, not caring about others' feelings, selfish, domineering, won't listen to others." But even as she complained, unexpectedly, she found herself smiling with shy delight.

"Such an unreasonable guy is a real man. If he didn't take the lead, did he expect I would? Bath time, bath time..." Blushing even more, she went into the bathroom, while Shen Qiang, now in her bedroom, was surprised to hear her humming a cheerful tune from inside.

This brought a smile to Shen Qiang's face as well.

"Bastard!"

Thousands of miles away, in a luxurious office, the chubby Abyss man Gong Ziyi was throwing a tantrum!

"This mountain sprite is an idiot! I repeatedly told him to act discreetly, not to alert the target. If uncertain, he should proceed cautiously. What happened? He stupidly tried to form an alliance with Geng Jingyi right under Shen Qiang's nose!"

"How foolish! Now look, he got his just desserts but Geng Jingyi brought over a hundred Great Demons to join the subsidiary company Sanhe Security of the Heshenghe Group. Great, now the entire Sheng He Mountain Villa is sealed tight, how are we supposed to move against Shen Qiang? Tell me!"

Seeing Gong Ziyi in a rage, the old advisor beside him said, "Calm down, young master. It's frustrating when things don't go as planned, but anger solves nothing, particularly in this matter. Your plan is flawless, except it didn't consider the mountain sprite's nature."

"He sees you as transcendent and deeply admires you. That's why he acted recklessly, giving Shen Qiang an opening. But it's okay. Though we've been at a disadvantage twice now, it's also exposed more problems; namely, Heshenghe backing those demons with dubious backgrounds is bound to sow future troubles."

On hearing this, Gong Ziyi coldly questioned, "Are you out of your mind? In the Cultivation World, aside from those female cultivators devoted to family life, who is clean? Which cultivator hasn't fought others? Which one hasn't stabbed someone in the back?"

"Do you think you can topple Shen Qiang just because those demons have questionable backgrounds? Dream on! Do you know Dragon Group's Demon Taming Safety Department? They're filled with ruthless Great Demons. What happens once they're caught? They're tamed, taught knowledge, made protectors of the land!"

"There's a perfect example right there, and you want to comfort me with such words? Don't you understand? As long as Heshenghe's Great Demons don't harm society or slaughter indiscriminately, Dragon Group's current attitude is to turn a blind eye, and they won't make a move against Shen Qiang."

The elder sighed and hesitated briefly, "Young master, there's something old slave wants to say, though unsure if appropriate."

"Speak!" Gong Ziyi coldly raised an eyebrow.

The elder sighed, "Actually, many in the Abyss are trying to ally with Shen Qiang. It's clear his Elixir Pills are the best, top quality at low prices. Moreover, he leads the Heshenghe Pill Alliance with 300 alchemists, including many Pill families."

"If we could befriend him, with financial backing, Elixir Pills wouldn't be a problem. If you continue this conflict, I fear it's not worth the loss."

Hearing this, Gong Ziyi's eyes turned icy as he said sternly, "What do you mean?"

The elder bowed, "Young master, you're wise. Now it's clear Song Weiyin has developed feelings for him, so why clash with Shen Qiang over a woman? There are countless beauties, but only one Medicine King, Shen Qiang. If you wish to achieve great ambitions, winning over Shen Qiang is the King's Path."

Gong Ziyi glared icily at him, "I know you mean well, trying to tell me those who achieve great things must have tolerance. But you don't understand. Song Weiyin is the woman I adore most in this life. She is flawless, unparalleled in charm. I love her, so I must fight to the end!"

"In matters of love, I can lose and accept failure, but I cannot tolerate retreating. I aim to make my most beloved woman revered by all, but if I give up on her now without trying my utmost, I would regret it for life. So help me, let's get rid of Shen Qiang!"
