Invisibility standing beside the mirror, Shen Qiang gazed in amazement at the beautiful Demon Fox before him.
Whoo!
A strange fluctuation of Spiritual Energy flashed by.
Shen Qiang was astonished to see, as the Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing turned under the shower, three snow-white long tails effortlessly waving behind her. At the same time, her ears also became pointed and grew snowy-white fox fur.
But aside from that.
The visage of Miss Chu Qing, beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, had not changed, and her figure remained perfectly slender.
This gave Shen Qiang a sigh of relief, but it also made him even more certain that Miss Chu Qing's background was not so simple.
Because under normal circumstances.
When a Fox Demon dispels its Spell, its body would turn into a fox.
But Miss Chu Qing clearly was not.
This meant that the beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal Miss Chu Qing was either the descendant of a cultivator and a Fox Demon or the descendant of an Immortal and a Fox Demon.
And indeed, she was really beautiful.
Watching as the clear water washed the foam from her body, as she wrapped herself in a bath towel and left the bathroom barefoot, it was only after a long while that Shen Qiang, who had been transfixed by the sight of Miss Chu Qing's departing figure, came back to his senses and tiptoed downstairs to leave.
Outside the villa.
At this moment, Xiu Ju was as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
As soon as Shen Qiang appeared, Xiu Ju urgently asked, "Why did it take you so long to come out?"
"Ran into a bit of trouble," Shen Qiang said.
Sniffing, Xiu Ju exclaimed with surprise, "The smell of shower gel, did you go into her bathroom?"
"No! Absolutely not, I'm a decent person, how could I possibly go there," Shen Qiang denied, shaking his head at Xiu Ju.
Xiu Ju looked puzzled.
To avoid her further prying, Shen Qiang took out a sports car from his Storage Ring, opened the door, and said, "Let's go back."
Xiu Ju frowned slightly and got into the car.
"What about Bianyi?"
"We'll talk after we get back."
The sports car sped off, quickly returning to the hotel.
Entering the room, Xiu Ju sat on the bed and observed Shen Qiang, who had resumed training, "Shen Qiang, we must find Bianyi. If he reveals that you're the superstar with a one billion Bounty on the Bounty Hunters platform, you're going to be in big trouble."
"You understand? You can't go to Medical University, you can't go to the antique market, and you can't go to Shenghe Chengxin Yi..."
Amidst his Body Refinement, Shen Qiang, whilst training, said, "Stop, I understand the seriousness of the situation. But I think it shouldn't be a problem for a short time, because Bianyi sees the information about me as an opportunity to make a fortune, asking for sixty million. With such a price tag, I don't think anybody would bite."
Xiu Ju chuckled, "Sixty million, when the Bounty's only one billion? Who would risk spending so much money to buy such information?"
Shen Qiang, continuing his push-ups steadily, said gravely, "Exactly, no one would buy it, which is why Bianyi is targeting me. He hinted before that I could give him some money to keep him quiet, but we both know, such a person can't keep his mouth shut."
Xiu Ju frowned, "I've reported the situation to the higher-ups; they're investigating. Maybe we can sit down and have a talk with him."
"Talk about what?" Shen Qiang laughed. "Do you think the higher-ups would lock him up just because this guy might know some things about me?" He answered his own question with a scoff and continued, "Obviously not."
Xiu Ju frowned, "If no one buys the information, then maybe there's no danger."
Shen Qiang laughed, "You think Bianyi is a fool? If the price is too high and no one buys, he'll try to get money out of me. If he can't get satisfactory compensation from me, then next, he'll lower the price of the information. No one wants it for sixty million, but what if it's ten million, or even five million?"
"Find ten people who want to earn a one billion Bounty, charge each five million, and that's fifty million."
At these words, Xiu Ju's brows furrowed tightly, "So what are you planning to do?"
"Chill," Shen Qiang said calmly. "I've heard that if Bianyi can't be contacted for twenty-four hours, he will reveal everything. So I'm guessing what that thing could be. Theoretically, it could be one of his contacts who checks in with him daily."
"It could also be one of those emails set with a timer, or perhaps a courier package that has been arranged to send if no message is received."
"Before I can verify that I've found that documented diary and ensure it's completely safe, I don't want to take any risks."
Xiu Ju asked with knitted brows, "Are you scared?"
Shen Qiang gave Xiu Ju a cold glance, "Yes, I'm scared, because I don't want to see my parents and my loved ones get hurt in the slightest. Do you understand?"
After a moment of silence, Xiu Ju said, "What about that fox spirit? What's your plan? Are you going to sell her the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra? The owners of that book are usually strong Great Demons. Ever since three hundred years ago, when that Secret Manual fell into the hands of cultivators, the demons have gradually faded into obscurity. If you sell the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra to them, it could provoke new problems,"
Shen Qiang furrowed his brows slightly, genuinely curious, "You know, I've always been a bit baffled. If the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra is as powerful as they say, why did those demons allow the Daluo Heaven Heart Sutra to remain in the Cultivation World for three hundred years?"
"Because it's a Secret Manual for demon cultivators. Cultivators can't practice it," Xiu Ju said, arching an eyebrow. "Also, over these three hundred years, the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra has changed hands numerous times, passing from the five major Sects to declining Families. Many Sects have possessed it, but no demon cultivator has ever successfully mastered it."
"So the power of the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra is merely a legend. Do you think that a very powerful demon would foolishly start a war over a legend?"
Shen Qiang looked at Xiu Ju and laughed, "Of course, there are, like Chu Qing. But her plan is not to forcefully take it; she's willing to pay, so I'm not planning to confront her with weapons."
"Are you going to sell it to her?" Xiu Ju frowned.
Shen Qiang laughed and said, "Of course not, because I still have to practice the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra, and I don't want someday in the future to have other demons with the same Cultivation Technique fighting against my golden cicada. So if Miss Chu Qing wants the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra, there's only one way—she must become my person."
Looking at Xiu Ju, who had a disdainful expression of knowing Shen Qiang's lecherous nature, Shen Qiang smiled and concluded, "Apart from that, there's no way at all."
