Chapter 1868 - 1871: The Alluring and Sophisticated Weisheng Zhimei
Chu Xiaotian's roar was loud, not only silencing everyone in the banquet hall immediately but also inexplicably freezing the gaze of the Medicine King Valley Master, who was just smiling and letting Shen Qiang sit beside the stunning Qin Yurou.However, as the Valley Master, an elder, he couldn't reprimand Chu Xiaotian publicly, and Pan Zheng, evidently still bothered by Shen Qiang's refusal to join the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, appeared ready to enjoy the show.
At that moment, Shen Qiang, already seated beside Qin Yurou, didn't even glance at Chu Xiaotian. Instead, he smiled slightly and said, "With such a beautiful scene and a lovely lady at my side, I have no interest in tackling trivial matters. If you want to fight Dan later, let's do it together; I'll cook you a stew."
Upon hearing this, everyone laughed, not only looking teasingly at Chu Xiaotian but also snickering softly.
"Is this Chu Xiaotian truly stupid or pretending? Shen Qiang is now seated with Qin Yurou, Qin Fairy by his side, singing beside wine, enjoying his prime moments in life. Haha, at this moment, only a fool would pay attention to him."
"So amusing, Chu Xiaotian is overwhelmed with jealousy, hoping to use Dan Fighting to separate Shen Qiang from Qin Yurou's side. Shen Qiang is not foolish, given such a rare opportunity, would he ignore a charming beauty and stupidly go fight Dan with him? That's underestimating Shen Qiang's intelligence."
"Ah, Chu Xiaotian, though talented and perceptive in Alchemy, is too arrogant, dismissing everyone. No wonder Shen Qiang ignores him. I bet if they truly fight Dan Elixirs, even Yu Xinghuo will kneel down licking shoes. No matter how strong Chu Xiaotian is, he's no match for Shen Qiang."
The crowd discussed mockingly, full of sneers.
Chu Xiaotian's face turned red, shouting angrily, "Shen Qiang, you're a coward! Dare not fight Dan with me, still pretending to be a boss?"
Hearing this, Shen Qiang smiled, calmly raising his eyebrows, "My role as the Heshenghe boss is earned, only grandchildren pretend."
Before the words finished.
The lovely Qin Yurou burst into laughter, her eyes bending with delight.
Those present also chuckled secretly.
"Shen Qiang, the King of Demons, Heshenghe's boss is universally acknowledged in the Cultivation World. Saying he's pretending is absurd talk."
"Hilarious, only grandchildren pretend, now Chu Xiaotian is quite pretentious indeed."
Listening to the jeers, Chu Xiaotian's face reddened further as he raged, "Shen Qiang, stop saying irrelevant things. Just say whether you dare fight Dan with me."
Shen Qiang laughed, "Treat a dog according to the owner, feel free to frolic."
On hearing this, Chu Xiaotian jumped up, "What did you say? Treat a dog according to the owner? What do you mean? Dare you say it again?"
"Treat a dog according to the owner." Shen Qiang smiled.
"I'll fight you!"
Yet, as Chu Xiaotian shouted, Pan Zheng, who had been trying hard to maintain a smile, couldn't stay calm.
Because Shen Qiang's 'treat a dog according to the owner' was actually reminding Pan Zheng, since Pan Zheng is the leader of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, and Chu Xiaotian is from the Chu Family within them, if Shen Qiang truly made a move and humiliated Chu Xiaotian on the spot, what would Pan Zheng do?
Watching the fun, losing the dignity within Thirty-two Skillful Hands.
Backing Chu Xiaotian?
If things escalate, the Chu Family might not dare trouble Shen Qiang, but will certainly risk it all with Pan Zheng, as he is an elder, and if the youth has an accident under his watch, it's utterly unreasonable.
"Chu Xiaotian!" Pan Zheng rebuked sternly, "Sit down, if you want to fight Dan, you'll have plenty of opportunities. With so many teachers present, how could you be so reckless?"
Upon hearing this, the elders of the Pan Family couldn't hold back, sternly saying, "Xiaotian, sit down, this is not a place for you to act wildly!"
Seeing himself being rebuked, Chu Xiaotian was furious but helpless, and could only sit down angrily.
Yet in the moment he sat down, he heard Shen Qiang's relaxed and mocking voice transmitting to his ears, "Fool, can't even find the right occasion for a provocation, really curious how you grew so big without being beaten to death; truly a miracle."
Chu Xiaotian glared at Shen Qiang.
Before he could speak, the elder from the Chu Family immediately chastised, "Xiaotian! Mind your manners!"
Shen Qiang looked at Chu Xiaotian with a smile, "Nice glare, I just love your look of hating me to the core yet helpless. Besides, you worthless, after the Dan Fighting, you better earnestly refine pills for ten years; I think that'll earn quite a fortune for me."
"Keep dreaming!" Chu Xiaotian stood up and roared.
Seeing this, Pan Zheng was enraged, "Chu Xiaotian! Where are your manners? Did a dog eat them? Go wash your face, then return!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Xiaotian was bewildered with anger.
Shen Qiang, however, smiled till his eyes curved, inwardly musing, "Indeed, Chu Xiaotian is a rules-following megalomaniac, doesn't even know how to curse through transmission?"
Amid Shen Qiang's mocking laughter, the elder of the Chu Family led him away.
Seeing this scene, everyone present was eager to laugh.
At the same time, they couldn't help but acknowledge Shen Qiang's cleverness; under such circumstances, a leading boss at the chief seat, going to fight Dan with an Alchemist, would indeed lack grace.
But while everyone praised the matter, more people still focused attentively on the chief seating arrangement.
The monks from the Seventy-two Ancient Temples had arrived, but as vegetarians, they wouldn't attend the banquet.
Besides them, the people seated at the chief were clear: five superior sects, five superior families, leader of Thirty-two Skillful Hands Pan Zheng, plus Shen Qiang and the two females from Medicine King Valley.
This was inherently nothing.
Yet from the seat arrangement, the crowd keenly perceived something; the Medicine King Valley Master sat at the head position, with Qin Yurou at his left, and Shen Qiang on Qin Yurou's left, indicating intentional arrangement by the Valley Master. Otherwise, logically, the one sitting next to Qin Yurou should be the Baihua Palace Master Weisheng Zhimei, or perhaps the Golden Summit Resident of Emei Sword Sect.
Moreover, after Shen Qiang sat next to Qin Yurou, Bai Shiyi sat on Shen Qiang's left, clearly indicating a purpose in this seating.
"Is Medicine King Valley planning to ally with Shen Qiang? This seating clearly intends to bring Shen Qiang and Qin Yurou closer."
"It's too obvious; otherwise, the three females should be seated together."
While the crowd whispered among themselves.
Accompanied by a soft laugh, Baihua Palace Master's voice came from the side, "Apologies, I went to tend to some personal matters and am late."
Everyone in the hall turned towards the voice, then collectively froze.
Under the lights, the Baihua Palace Master Weisheng Zhimei, clad in a red dress with snowy skin and captivating curves, smiled enchantingly as she walked towards the chief seat. Her intellectual, mature beauty exuded grandeur and sensuality like a swaying peony on the branch!
