"Bastard! He's gone too far!"

At the exact moment Shen Qiang had finished speaking, thousands of kilometers away, in a minimally yet elegantly decorated seaside villa courtyard, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in a swimsuit, who had been sunbathing on a lounge chair, suddenly sat up.

Turning to the girl in a white dress with a graceful demeanor and stunningly beautiful face, who was diligently tending to a flowerbed, she said, "Young Master, look at this Shen Qiang, who does he think he is, speaking about sphincters and anal muscles, a total dirty-mouthed bastard. Don't you want to teach him a lesson?"

The girl with the graceful demeanor continued arranging the flowers and plants in the flowerbed impassively, her voice calm, "Abi, you must have seen clearly through his phone what happened. It was that Mr. Li who provoked repeatedly; that's why Shen Qiang taught him a lesson."

The girl sunbathing pouted unhappily, "Young Master, even if that guy was provoking, didn't Shen Qiang go too far with his response? Besides, I didn't say anything else, just that our people should warn him a bit, that evil deeds will receive evil results. But look, he didn't take you seriously at all."

"He even said he wanted to have a one-on-one fight with you. Who does he think he is? You are the Young Master of Medicine King Valley, and he wants to compete in physical combat with you? Such a thug should be taken out and shot a hundred times!"

The girl in the white dress, after tidying up the flowerbed, smiled and replied, "Abi, first you need to understand, he's a man, so it's not surprising he would say those things."

"What about being a man?" said the girl in the swimsuit, her body curvaceous, as she pouted, "I've seen plenty of men. Which one of them, upon seeing you, doesn't behave subserviently, nodding and bowing, all smiles like a bloom of chrysanthemums?"

The stunning girl in the white dress, Liu Mei, frowned and walked over to her, taking the cellphone from her hand, "Those you've seen are not real men; they are just echo chambers."

The girl in the swimsuit was startled.

At that moment, the girl in the white dress said, "Also, I'm warning you— if you take it upon yourself again to send messages to anyone using my phone, I will have you married off to some old and ugly man, you understand? I mean what I say."

The swimsuit-clad girl became anxious immediately, coquettishly pleading, "Young Master, Abi knows her mistake; I won't mess with your phone again."

The girl in the white dress sighed in resignation and turned towards the villa.

The girl in the swimsuit hurriedly followed, carefully saying from behind the stunning girl in white, "Young Master, so about this Shen Qiang, so arrogantly challenging you, are you just going to let him go? He has been quite arrogant lately, even carrying a whole string of flashy titles."

"What about being the quickest surgeon, or the Nine-Branch Flower Needle Technique? Just recently, he even beat the heir of the He Bone Setting, flamboyantly showing off, completely unaware of his limits. Maybe, you should teach him a lesson?"

The girl in the white dress frowned, "Abi, all of Shen Qiang's honors were earned by himself, what's wrong with that? I'm not going to target him, nor will I compete with him, because there's absolutely no need."

The girl in the swimsuit frowned, coiling next to the stunning girl in white, seizing the opportunity to say, "But he really comes off as too arrogant. His grandstudent keeps boasting about how great he is in the chat group I'm in, and there are groups of silly girls swooning over him, it's utterly annoying."

The stunning girl in the white dress, Liu Mei, slightly furrowed her brow, "First Grade Pill Pavilion? I've told you before, you're known by the company you keep. That group is just full of people with no real skill who only stir up drama so stop talking about it. For me to intervene and teach Shen Qiang a lesson? Dream on."

"Unless one day, he can refine elixirs that can rival mine; otherwise, I absolutely will not demean myself by engaging with him."

"Moreover, I'm very busy."

"Our people successfully bid on the Divine Grade Pei Yuan Pill, and although I don't know which predecessor refined this elixir, I believe that with the pill as a guide and my talents, in just five to ten years, I could replicate the same pill," said the girl in the long white dress.

"So in the future, do not bother me with matters like this."

With that, the girl in the long white dress turned and left.

The girl in the swimsuit said with disappointed eyes, "Young Master is a once-in-a-millennium alchemy prodigy, A Bi believes that Young Master will definitely concoct Divine Grade pills! But... but..."

She watched the retreating figure of the girl in the white dress.

The girl in the swimsuit, her head hung low in dismay and reluctant yet helpless, returned to the lounge chair beside the pool. She picked up her cellphone from the cold drink table and opened a chat group, immediately seeing Zhong Yongxi boasting in the group:

"My grand-uncle's Nine-Branch Flower Needle Technique is peerless in Hua Xia, unmatched, capturing the spiritual energy of heavens and earth, and the brilliance of the sun and moon. It's just too strong! Next Wednesday, he will apply his acupuncture technique again by challenging the Life-extending Hall, haha, Grand-uncle is sure to win!"

The girl in the swimsuit, angered and typing furiously, replied: "When will you stop? A Shen Qiang, and you could boast about him forever?"

Unexpectedly, Zhong Yongxi replied even faster: "Yes, yes! My grand-uncle is amazing, not just worth boasting about for a lifetime, he's also the pride of the Zhong Family. Think you can beat him? Go ahead!"

"Jerk!" The girl in the swimsuit gritted her teeth in anger. "Both grandfather and grandson are jerks! I'm supposed to be the princess in the group, but now it's all Shen Qiang this, Shen Qiang that, my messages are totally ignored, it's infuriating..."

While the girl in the swimsuit sulked.

Back in the Cheng Xinyi Hall, the elder from Medicine King Valley had already left.

At that moment, beside Shen Qiang, a group of about a dozen cultivators had gathered.

"Shen Xia, mighty and powerful! In the Cultivation World, you are the first one who dares to speak to the Medicine King Valley Young Master like that!"

"Awesome! Incredible!" exclaimed a man, giving a thumbs up: "I don't bow to anyone, but from today, I only respect you, Shen Qiang."

"So fierce! Medicine King Valley is like a holy place in the Cultivation World, such a direct challenge, brother, you really have guts!"

In the midst of all the praises, Shen Qiang inexplicably felt that something was off, as these people were clearly behaving abnormally.

After all, Medicine King Valley is a famously powerful force in the Hua Xia Cultivation World, and these cultivators didn't even know him or whether he had any powerful support but dared to stand by his side. Weren't they afraid of Medicine King Valley's retaliation?

And almost at the same time as Shen Qiang felt puzzled.

Bai Jiao, with a charming aura and a sweet smile, hands crossed behind her back, walked up casually and stood by Shen Qiang's side, teasing, "Wow, Shen Qiang, I never realized you were this fierce, daring to disobey even the face of the Medicine King Valley Young Master. But don't you worry, if she dares to bully you, I'll make sure she regrets it!"
