Chapter 1797 - 1800: The Surprising Half-Blood Beauty

Outside the side door of the inn, watching the butler in his immaculate attire, Shen Qiang asked in surprise, "Are you sure you don't want to join us for the banquet?" Gui Shu replied earnestly, "Boss, I'm getting old, and I prefer peace and quiet. Please go ahead. Also, I need to ensure the safety of our residence."Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Very well, if you're tired, rest early. Let me know what you'd like to eat, and I'll have the inn prepare it for you."

Gui Shu nodded with a smile, "I will." Then, carrying his exquisite leather suitcase, he entered a small villa at the Medicine King Inn, which Medicine King Valley had specially arranged for Heshenghe.

Watching Gui Shu's back, Shen Qiang smiled and then turned around, gazing at the Medicine King Inn, and said calmly, "Let's go."

Meanwhile, in the inn's banquet hall, numerous cultivators with sharp eyes, as if discovering a new continent, excitedly said.

"Previously, when Lu Daoist didn't mention it, we hadn't given it much thought. But now that I think about it, it makes sense. Cancer tumors have been recorded in human medicine for at least over four thousand years, and to this day, there isn't a particularly effective spiritual medicine that can cure it."

"Yes, every Medical Saint and Medicine King throughout history has devoted their lives to trying to conquer cancer, but despite their outstanding talents, past sages over the millennia have tried various methods and formulas, and elixirs. Although some have been recorded, they usually can't truly cure it."

"So, Shen Qiang likely knows that Heshenghe doesn't have any standout elixirs to present at the Elixir Conference, so he made up an elixir on the spot, just spouting nonsense. This way, if he doesn't show up, we won't see this elixir, and there's no way to prove that it doesn't exist."

Sitting beside Nalan Tianyu, the bald Sea Demon King smiled and said, "Did you hear that clearly? The person you like might just be a small-time fraudster, so seriously consider my words. The Undying Phoenix Clan is heaven's favored, but talent is just a gift from above, an advantage. If you truly want to live well, you must rely on your abilities."

"I am the true king, the one truly worthy of you. As for Shen Qiang, if you want to be with him, you're only degrading yourself. That's just downfall, that's just you ruining yourself."

Hearing this, Nalan Tianyu sighed and, feeling a bit lost, gazed absentmindedly at the numerous cultivators in the banquet hall because suddenly, she became somewhat melancholic. She didn't believe that Shen Qiang would make up an elixir to gain face.

But at the same time, she suddenly wondered if perhaps she was, as the Sea Demon King said, merely in unrequited love, or if Shen Qiang didn't care about her at all. Otherwise, how could Shen Qiang, knowing that she had been here for a while, still not show up?

And was he still rumored to be with the actress Song Weiyin?

This left her feeling a bit lost.

A bit disappointed.

"Perhaps it's just wishful thinking on my part, or maybe I'm imagining things too beautifully, or perhaps Shen Qiang really won't come."

And just at that moment.

"It's confirmed!" A forty-something cultivator slapped his thigh and shouted, "No doubt about it, Shen Qiang certainly doesn't dare to come! Otherwise, he would have been here by now."

"Heh, I told you so, how can anyone make an elixir that cures cancer? Now the conclusion is clear. With the exhibit starting tomorrow and Shen Qiang still not here, the Heshenghe display will be empty by morning."

"The leader of a bunch of demons, can you think of him as a gentleman? Moreover, everyone here is righteous, and evil cannot prevail over good. Surely Shen Qiang, knowing that the righteous seniors who can attest to heaven and earth are here, is already scared out of his wits and doesn't dare to come."

Everyone laughed heartily at these words.

"That Heshenghe, a gathering of demons, nothing but a rabble in the small Provincial City. Shen Qiang may be mighty there, but this is Medicine King Valley, a gathering of the strong. As long as Shen Qiang has any self-awareness, he won't dare come!"

"Humph, speaking of Shen Qiang, he's recently made a name for himself in the cultivation world, fooling those inexperienced young disciples into seeing him as a celestial being. But in reality, he can't even make it onto the top hundred alchemist list, yet he dared to boast that his elixir can cure cancer."

"Haha, laughable."

As they laughed loudly, a fat man sitting in the corner of the banquet hall frowned in displeasure, "I had really thought Shen Qiang was impressive before, but it turns out he's just a braggart who talks big, not even qualified to be my opponent."

Sitting beside him, an elder immediately communicated, "If young master finds it dull, why don't we head back?"

The fat man smiled and cast his gaze on the bald Sea Demon sitting by Nalan Tianyu's table, saying, "That guy seems to have some strength, interesting. Since Shen Qiang isn't an option, we can have some fun with that baldy. Hopefully, he won't disappoint me; after all, being unbeatable is too lonely."

The elder, upon hearing this, seriously assessed the bald Sea Demon and said, "Young master, this person seems to have a cultivation higher than mine..."

The fat man smiled, raising an eyebrow playfully, "Don't worry, I won't fail. Not only will I defeat that baldy, but I'll also certainly win over that beautiful mixed-blood female officer next to him."

The elder hesitated and said, "I understand. What about the others..."

"They're all trash." The fat man glanced disdainfully around the hall, "If it weren't for the possibility that their refined elixirs might be useful, I'd want to kill them all now to avoid seeing their hypocritical self-righteousness."

At the same time, the twin-tailed girl sitting beside Nalan Tianyu stood up with a smack on the table amid everyone's laughter, shouting, "Enough! If you have the guts, say those things to Shen Qiang's face. Talking nonsense behind his back, what kind of skill is that?"

Hearing this, the numerous cultivators present burst into laughter.

"Little girl, who are you to Shen Qiang? What we say is none of your business."

"This Shen Qiang, besides hoodwinking the young in the cultivation world, doesn't have any other abilities."

"Yes, among our sect's young disciples, some do admire him and think he's amazing, but that's because they're naive. If Shen Qiang really had any skills, would he really not dare to come?"

Listening to their laughter, the twin-tailed girl was furious, her chest heaving. But just as she raised her eyebrows, ready to speak, a somewhat somber Nalan Tianyu stood up and said, "Don't argue with them. Let's go. Shen Qiang may not come."

In an instant, not only did the bald Sea Demon's eyes light up with a look of success, but numerous cultivators watching Nalan Tianyu also showed expressions of finally coming to their senses. One even laughed boldly, "Miss, Shen Qiang definitely doesn't dare to come. If you're looking for a Daoist couple, isn't anyone here better than Shen Qiang?"

Everyone laughed loudly.

Nalan Tianyu took a deep breath, her fair and tender hands clenched into fists, then turned around.

But just as she was about to take a step, the door to the banquet hall opened, and immediately she clearly saw a tall, robust young man with sword-shaped eyebrows and bright eyes, accompanied by numerous powerful aura followers, walking in.

Not only that, but Nalan Tianyu was even more pleasantly surprised to see this young man not only smiling at her but also raising an eyebrow and winking, his sunny smile melting away her icy heart like spring thawing the frozen river, quickening her heartbeat in an instant. Just as she was about to savor Shen Qiang's expression, she clearly heard Shen Qiang calmly say.

"Yo, who was it just now that said I didn't dare to come? Step forward."
