At the moment he put away the contract, Bianyi turned around to face the surveillance camera, raised his eyebrows with a smug smile, and made an 'ok' gesture.

Sitting in the office, Shen Qiang and the beautiful, alluring demon fox Chu Qing beside him were both stunned, while the attractive secretary, the Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu, flashed a hint of surprise in her beautiful eyes.

"What the hell, this guy!" Shen Qiang looked at the triumphant Bianyi on the surveillance screen, feeling incredibly flabbergasted and powerless: "What kind of trick is this? First sell out the boss, making the other side think we're not united, pretending to act in the opponent's interest, and then this bastard lets the opponent choose between a male or female guard."

"After all, it is an enemy positioned beside their own sect leader, so the weaker the strength, the better. A female surely looks safer, then they take the opportunity to put forward their own request, leaving the beautiful girl Kang Luoying behind."

"Then just after the family leaves, this bastard exploits the girl's desire to repay Qingyun Sword Pavilion and leads her to sign the contract."

"Once this three-year contract is signed, if she wants to leave she'll face enormous penalties, and if she stays, Qingyun Sword Pavilion will receive three elixirs. In that case, unless Qingyun Sword Pavilion goes mad, they wouldn't let Kang Luoying leave."

"Because rather than paying huge penalties, they might as well sit there and wait to receive the elixirs."

Shen Qiang sighed inwardly: "It's just too bad, Qingyun Sword Pavilion certainly won't realize, Bianyi is clearly adopting Liu Bei's strategy in borrowing Jingzhou, borrowing with no intention to return! Once the document is signed, she'll find it nearly impossible to leave Heshenghe."

"Scumbag!" At that moment, the beautiful demon fox Chu Qing came back to her senses, her eyes widened as she said, "Shen Qiang, quickly do something, this scoundrel! He's deceiving this girl right in front of us, he should be taken outside and shot!"

"Also, this guy makes me increasingly uneasy; having him around makes me feel anxious because I never know when I'll be deceived by him out of nowhere."

Upon hearing Chu Qing's words.

Shen Qiang laughed.

And beside him, the Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu smiled slightly and said, "I think Mr. Shen is still quite competent and capable. On the surface, it seems he's deceiving this young girl, but in reality, it's a very fair trade."

The beautiful demon fox Chu Qing was taken aback, "Fair trade? All I see is him swindling."

Ke Bizhu laughed, "Three years, three elixirs, with a total value of at least six hundred million, it's not a small amount. An ordinary cultivator might not earn this much in their lifetime, so this is just a small trick Mr. Shen used to bind this young girl to Heshenghe."

"But in reality, Qingyun Sword Pavilion doesn't lose out; they might even praise this deal. After all, putting this young girl in their sect won't bring in six hundred million revenue otherwise."

The beautiful demon fox Chu Qing fell silent, furrowing her brows slightly, "But in that case, isn't it us who are at a loss? Her cultivation is only in the Mixed Element Realm, yet the price for three years is six hundred million, enough to afford someone in the Dao Fruit Stage."

Shen Qiang laughed, "I have plenty of elixirs, but only a small portion can be sold because rarity adds value; large sales would make them worthless. So in Qingyun Sword Pavilion's view, three elixirs are highly valuable, but to me, they're just three small pills, trading them for a pretty woman by my side is quite worth it."

The beautiful demon fox Chu Qing sighed, looking at Shen Qiang with a light smile, "Do you need me to prepare a room for her?"

Shen Qiang laughed, "Of course, she's my personal guard, and she has to live in the mountain villa at night. You're the big sister, so you must lead by example."

The beautiful demon fox Chu Qing coquettishly rolled her eyes at Shen Qiang with a smile, "Then what's next?"

Shen Qiang raised his eyebrows with a smile, "You'll be responsible for taking her to get her employee card and fill out onboarding paperwork, then take her shopping for some decent clothes. After all, her current attire is too shabby and would make people think Heshenghe lacks power."

"Also, take her to the mountain villa once to let her understand the environment briefly. I don't want to wander around there at night in pitch darkness, and make sure to clarify her identity with the demons in the villa. Although I don't think she'll be malicious, it's clear that, for your safety, I'm not entirely trusting her yet."

Hearing this, the beautiful demon fox Chu Qing smiled coquettishly, "Then I'll take her to lunch at the Datong River at noon."

Shen Qiang laughed, "No problem, use your business card to pay, including buying clothes and some daily necessities for her. Don't be too stingy, but don't be too extravagant either, use your best judgment."

"Okay." With that, the beautiful demon fox Chu Qing left the office, later taking the beautiful girl Kang Luoying without entering Shen Qiang's office, instead to familiarize herself with the environment, and to get her employee card made.

Just as they left, Bianyi entered Shen Qiang's office with a beaming smile, sitting on the sofa while smugly raising his eyebrows, "Reward me, don't be shy, the beauty you wanted is secured."

Shen Qiang said with a stern face, "Reward you for what? For the price of six hundred million over three years, I could hire a Dao Fruit Stage expert as a bodyguard."

Bianyi was taken aback, "Boss, did you shut yourself in during your retreat and turn yourself into a fool? This Kang Luoying is truly a genius! At seventeen, her cultivation had already reached the Mixed Element Realm! Just seven days ago she celebrated her eighteenth birthday, and now her cultivation has reached the Mixed Element Middle Stage!"

"If nothing goes wrong, she's most likely to enter the Dao Fruit Stage before twenty, that would be a miracle in the cultivation world, understand?"

Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow, "And what does this have to do with my six hundred million?"

Bianyi looked bewildered, "She's at the age where emotions are just budding, and with her by your side for three years, if you can't win her over, then you're too useless, aren't you? Six hundred million doesn't just buy her guarding you for three years, it buys the chance for proximity!"

"Moreover, Qingyun Sword Pavilion's sect treasure, the Qingyun Sword, is in her hands, which is a legendary great magical treasure that can slash down from the heavens. If you win her over, the genius and treasure are yours, aren't three small pills worth it?"

Shen Qiang coughed once, "Rumor can't be trusted."

Hearing this, Bianyi rolled his eyes in surprise, "What do you mean by rumor, this is publicly known information from Qingyun Sword Pavilion. Kang Luoying has officially become a Qingyun Sword Pavilion disciple and started traveling the cultivation world for training. You can check online forums to see it."

Shen Qiang coughed upon hearing this, "Alright, I'll verify it, you go out first. If everything you say is true, then I won't pursue you for taking liberties with my elixirs and using them for favors."

Bianyi was shocked, "Are you going to renege on me?"

Shen Qiang smiled, "Get out before I get angry!"

Bianyi jumped up, pointing at Shen Qiang angrily, "Despicable! Shen Qiang, I've never met anyone as shameless as you in my life!"

With that, he stormed off, slamming the door with a bang!
