After leaving the car in the underground parking, Shen Qiang and Xiu Ju went upstairs.

Back at home, Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing was still cultivating.

So after doing some routine cultivation, Shen Qiang took a bath and naturally entered Xiu Ju's room.

In the room, Xiu Ju, wearing a short skirt nightgown, gave Shen Qiang a coquettish glance, "What, now that your little warm beauty isn't here today, you think of me?"

Hehe, with a laugh, Shen Qiang said, "You're the most important to me, I've never forgotten you for any moment, so why would you say I've just remembered."

Hearing this, Xiu Ju laughed coquettishly and said, "You slick talker, you actually have the nerve to say that. Today at the health product company, when I reminded you, not only did you ignore my advice, but you even put up a front like you were going to war with Long Yan Sword Sect, so with you saying this now, I absolutely don't believe it."

Shen Qiang laughed and hugged her tightly, a hint of helplessness in his raised eyebrow, "It's not that we want to go to war with them, but we have no other choice."

"How can there be no other choice?" Xiu Ju coquettishly glanced at Shen Qiang again and chided, "Even the Saint has said, 'To endure for a moment is to make calm waters and peaceful waves; to step back is to broaden the horizon.' If you truly had mighty warriors by your side, I would be happy if you tore Long Yan Sword Sect down."

"But look at who you have by your side, a bunch of shrimp soldiers and crab generals. Bianyi, who can only swindle and cheat, is a crook with a festering sore on his head and pus oozing from his feet. That Hao Deben is just a little thief who downloads pirated movies and steals people's data."

"Wu Zhaoyang's cultivation is passable, at least he has reached the Nascent Soul Stage and is steady, but that Lan Yong, no matter how you look at him, he's just a foolish young man."

"Besides them, who else do you have?"

Looking at the sarcastic Xiu Ju, Shen Qiang laughed and said, "You."

"Huh?" Xiu Ju gave a blank look, "Are you planning to let me and Chu Qing protect you?"

Shen Qiang laughed, "I've been working hard on my cultivation recently."

"I know," Xiu Ju nodded and said, "I'm not saying all this to shake your confidence, but I hope you realize your own strength, whether you really have the ability to compete with those Sects, and to not always stir up trouble."

Shen Qiang laughed and laid his head on Xiu Ju's snow-white thigh, smiling, "Actually, when you were calculating my strength, you overlooked the most important person, which is me."

"Are you that strong?" Xiu Ju pouted, "You're just trash that hasn't even reached the Nascent Soul Stage."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Yes, I haven't reached the Nascent Soul Stage, but I have conquered a Mixed Element Realm beauty."

Xiu Ju blushed and frowned coquettishly, "Speak human."

Shen Qiang smiled and, looking at Xiu Ju's charming anger, said very seriously, "Long Yan Sword Sect may indeed be formidable, and I also don't know what abilities those stronger than the Dao Fruit Stage have, but now I can guarantee that below the Mixed Element Realm, as long as they can't kill me instantly, even if it's a Mixed Element Realm expert, give me three or four minutes, and I can make them die without a trace."

Xiu Ju was stunned and after a moment of silence, said, "Don't do that."

Taking the novel out of Xiu Ju's hands and holding her slender hand, Shen Qiang said soberly, "Have you ever heard the story of the jack?"

Xiu Ju shook her head, looking at Shen Qiang somewhat oddly, "You better not be about to tell me some lewd joke."

Shen Qiang smiled, "The story goes like this: there was a person, driving on the road, when suddenly his car had a flat tire. He needed a jack to change the spare tire, so he started walking towards the houses ahead, intending to borrow a jack."

"But as he walked, his thoughts began to multiply."

"Do the people ahead have a jack? If they do, would they lend it to me? I guess they'll ask me for money; would 5 bucks be enough for them? 10 bucks? No, they'll demand a thousand bucks because that guy would definitely not pass up the chance to make a fortune."

Looking at Xiu Ju, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "So when this person reached the house ahead and knocked on the door, he angrily said, 'Keep your damned jack.'"

Xiu Ju laughed, then said, "Do you mean I'm overthinking things?"

Shen Qiang said, "Yes, you saw the cultivator who claimed he was from the Long Yan Sword Sect, and then you thought about how many people he has, how much power he wields, wondering whether I can defeat him. Then you felt that I should be patient, that I shouldn't confront him head-on. So basically, you're just like that person who needed a jack."

Xiu Ju was not pleased, "It's okay if the car is broken, but if you really start a conflict with the Long Yan Sword Sect, people will definitely die."

Shen Qiang said earnestly, "Actually, that is not the worst-case scenario."

Xiu Ju was astonished, "Death isn't the worst case?"

Shen Qiang laughed, "The worst-case scenario is if I learned to compromise, you understand?" Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow and continued, "Thinking that I can't beat the Long Yan Sword Sect, and so their disciples arrogantly tell me I can scram if I took it."

"Soon, everyone will know, oh, this Shen Qiang, he's just a spineless coward. Afterward, the Doushi Temple comes along and tells me, sell your Datong River to us, what then? According to the way of thinking by inertia, since I can't beat them anyway, I might as well give Datong River to them."

"Then, all the riff-raff will come out of the woodwork, this Family, that Sword Sect, they'll take away everything I have, because they know I won't dare to resist."

Xiu Ju frowned, "The situations are different, that is just a lab, and it's not even yours right now."

Shen Qiang laughed, "But the principle is the same. You know, when humans face snakes, despite humans having intelligence, stronger bodies, and even weapons in hand, why do most people still feel fear and choose to avoid them?"

Xiu Ju frowned, "Because they're afraid of being bitten by the snake."

Shen Qiang laughed, "You know, today at the health product company, when I barged through them and walked between them, although they all had the Cultivation of the Nascent Soul Stage, they didn't dare to use their Techniques to stop me, do you know why?

Xiu Ju pouted, "It's because I was there, of course."

Shen Qiang laughed and shook his head, "No, it's not because of you, but because they were unsure if I was really as formidable as the legends say, unsure if I was the King of Demons. So they dared to threaten me softly with their words, boasting about how powerful their Sect was, but they didn't dare to really provoke me to the point of action, otherwise, they would have made their move."

Xiu Ju was silent for a moment, then said, "So you think they see you as the snake?"

Shen Qiang gave a smile and continued, "Maybe they do, maybe they don't, but actually, I don't care at all. I need to become stronger, no one can take anything I want from my hands. So no matter what situation I'm in, what I need is your support, not advice to give up."

Looking into Xiu Ju's flirtatiously smiling eyes, Shen Qiang said seriously, "The Long Yan Sword Sect, in the whole Cultivation World, is nothing more than a sect slightly above the third-rate but below the second-rate. If I don't even have the guts to fight them, claiming I want to be strong is just a joke."

"It would be better to just go to the countryside and farm, instead of embarrassing myself."

"So," Shen Qiang, who had flipped over on top of Xiu Ju, said calmly with a smile, "If the Long Yan Sword Sect gets greedy and wants to start a war with us, I wouldn't mind wiping out the Long Yan Sword Sect entirely to demonstrate my capacity for slaughter, to make the rest behave!"
