Having said that, the tall and beautiful Wenren Meiqiao, accompanied by two female subordinates, turned and left the underground car park. Ke Bizhu, clearly displeased with her attitude towards Shen Qiang, said with eyes as cold as frost.
"Shen Qiang, that woman is too much. I should go teach her a lesson."
Hearing this, Shen Qiang shook his head, then smiled and said, "During the Major General promotion contest, she had the chance to make a beautiful comeback and shake off the perpetual second place, but I helped Qian Shanxue press her down again, so it's normal for her to be upset with me."
"Besides, she is now a Major General in the Dragon Group, and both where we live and where I go to school are under her jurisdiction. Unless absolutely necessary, we shouldn't fuss too much with her, and I'm thinking, if she's not lying, it means there's an excellent body waiting for Qingxuan."
Upon hearing this, Ye Guyun, holding a large bag of snacks and munching on pine nuts, suddenly said, "Boss, why make it so complicated? If Qingxuan wants a body, can't we just grab one and kill them? Choose someone good-looking with high cultivation, snatch their body in a second, do you really need to chat with her about it?"
Hearing this, Shen Qiang frowned deeply and said, "Ye Guyun, you must understand that everything in the world has a spirit, existence is reasonable. If Qingxuan wanted your body, what would you do?"
"Kill Qingxuan!" Ye Guyun blurted out without thinking.
Shen Qiang laughed, "If even you won't do such a thing, don't impose it on others."
Ye Guyun stared at Shen Qiang, eyes wide open, and said confidently, "If others can't beat us, then it's their own fault if their body gets taken by Qingxuan."
Hearing this, Shen Qiang helplessly shook his head and said, "There's always someone stronger, and a sky beyond this one. You will eventually encounter someone you can't defeat. If they want to take your body, would you agree?"
"What else can I do if I don't agree?" Ye Guyun replied seriously.
Shen Qiang was stunned. For the leader of the Ancient Four Great Beasts, Qiongqi, the law of the jungle is the truth. Would saying "do not impose on others what you don't desire" work on her?
So after hesitating for a moment, Shen Qiang said, "I said it can't be done, so it can't be done. Just do as I say."
Ye Guyun let out an "Oh" and said, "Alright then."
Seeing her somewhat unhappy expression and the hint of confusion in her eyes, Shen Qiang suddenly felt a bit guilty. He took a deep breath and secretly transmitted a voice to her, "In a life and death moment, humans can also be eaten, but don't tell anyone I told you this."
Ye Guyun's eyes suddenly lit up, and then she smiled slyly, sending a voice transmission back, "My master also told me that, so I believe you."
Shen Qiang laughed, then got in the car, "Are you done shopping? If so, let's go home."
"Enough to last until tomorrow morning." Ye Guyun replied, clutching her huge bag of snacks.
Ke Bizhu handed Shen Qiang a navy blue tie along with his bank card and smiled slightly, "I hope you like it."
Shen Qiang smiled, started the car, and drove back home.
He deliberately took the two women to a market to buy some fresh vegetables and groceries.
He personally cooked dinner, and also called Ji Wei and the manager of the Heshenghe Beijing office over.
Dinner was very enjoyable.
The manager of the Heshenghe Beijing office was an ordinary person named Ma Guocheng, forty-seven years old, a very steady middle-aged man. His ability to handle things was quite good. He didn't know much about cultivators but was very respectful to Shen Qiang, speaking little and only saying what needed to be said, with no unnecessary words.
Shen Qiang was quite satisfied.
After dinner, after a while, he said his goodbyes and left. Shen Qiang didn't try to keep him. Ji Wei, as usual, saw him off and stayed at the office.
After they left, Ye Guyun continued to lie on the sofa, watching the anime featuring the guy who shouted "Rubber, rubber" and was determined to become the Pirate King.
Ke Bizhu, like an ordinary housewife, humming a song, was doing the laundry.
Meanwhile, Shen Qiang sat on the rooftop terrace, braving the chill of an early spring night, and logged into the Dragon Group's database to search for information on immortal female corpses.
But the information that came back left Shen Qiang a bit disappointed.
There were dozens of entries on Loulan Female Corpse and Incorruptible Female Corpse, but most were exaggerated, the so-called immortality was just a transformation into a mummy.
Is Wenren Meiqiao deceiving me?
Shen Qiang thought, bewildered, then sighed inexplicably.
Looking at the brightly lit community, he quietly called out, "Qingxuan!"
Instantly, Qingxuan appeared once again beside Shen Qiang.
"Qingxuan greets the master!"
Looking at Qingxuan, with her elegant figure and beautiful face, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Sit down and chat. What do you think of this world?"
Hearing this, Qingxuan's eyes sparkled as she gazed at the brightly lit community with admiration and said, "Master, this is truly a human paradise."
Shen Qiang was stunned.
Qingxuan, with eyes full of serious longing, said, "Here, everyone can afford to light a lamp. It's impossible in the Immortal Realm. Here, there are cars, planes, hospitals for the ill, plenty of beautiful clothes, and lots of delicious food, no hunger, no plague, no endless struggles, and sudden burst of slaughter."
Hearing this, Shen Qiang frowned and hesitated slightly before saying, "What if I asked you to stay in this paradise with me and not go back?"
Qingxuan was startled, then she anxiously urged, "Master, you mustn't have such thoughts. Central State of the Immortal Realm, forty million compatriots struggle daily on the edge of death, you are their only hope, paid for by the lives of a hundred Generals..."
"Enough, I know." Shen Qiang closed his eyes and pondered for a moment before saying solemnly, "If I ever reach Mahayana and ascend to become a Flying Immortal, I will go to save them. But for now, let's take care of our current problems."
Looking seriously at Qingxuan, Shen Qiang said, "Wenren Meiqiao mentioned today that she knows the whereabouts of a woman, whose body hasn't decayed for thousands of years. What do you think are the chances?"
"A thousand-year-old, lifelike mummy, though rare, isn't unheard of. Moreover, a lifeless body can't be used." Qingxuan frowned and said.
Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang furrowed his brows and said, "Indeed, if the body's cells are dead and all organs have failed, such a corpse cannot be used at all. However, Wenren Meiqiao's cultivation level, from my observation, is just a step away from entering Dao Fruit. And she has a certain understanding of rebirth. If it can't be used, she probably wouldn't have mentioned it."
Qingxuan nodded and said, "But what she said was ambiguous, and we can't determine if it's true. So I think master shouldn't put too much thought into it."
Shen Qiang frowned, about to nod.
But at that moment, his mind jolted, and the breathtaking Taiyin Youying suddenly appeared beside him, with a hint of anger in her voice, "Wenren Meiqiao's statement is true, that thousand-year-old woman lies in a crystal coffin, her soul obliterated, but her body still alive. You must find her, because the flower crown on her head is mine!"
