When he returned to the villa.

The traces of the great battle had been cleaned up thoroughly.

However, the broken riverside fences, along with the lingering scent of blood, still tried to prove that all of it hadn't vanished with the sound of insects.

In the villa.

The Sect Leader of the Door of Happiness, Fu Bo, Black Bear Spirit Xiong Zhenghui, and Mr. Abalone were all present.

After washing his hands and leaving the bathroom, Shen Qiang was met with Fu Bo's serious gaze, "Why didn't you tell us directly that you were a demon?"

Shen Qiang was stunned.

"Or rather, a rare Dragon Demon, truly unbelievable," Xiong Zhenghui laughed.

Shen Qiang was somewhat confused, "You guys think I'm a demon?"

"Stop pretending, Shen Qiang," Fu Bo snapped angrily. "Put away your fake facade. If it weren't for your overwhelming demonic energy, do you think those powerful beings would have come?"

Xiong Zhenghui smiled and said, "No wonder you bought the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra. We had thought you were planning to resell it for a profit, but now we understand, you're a Dragon Demon, and you bought the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra for your own cultivation."

"Because you know, it's the Supreme Scripture for demonic cultivation. Once you succeed, you will become the King of Demons."

Shen Qiang frowned. He had figured it out. It must have been the release of the dragon's aura from the Fetal Dragon Essence he used for Foundation Establishment, which led these great demons to mistake him for one of their own.

But the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra is a Supreme Scripture for demonic cultivation and has nothing to do with humans.

No cultivator has ever been able to practice it.

"I think you have misunderstood me!" Shen Qiang said.

Fu Bo quickly stood next to Shen Qiang and after sniffing him said, "Right, you're hiding it well. I indeed can't smell the Dragon Demon on you anymore, but we are sure, you and Chu Qing are the same."

"Discuss the dowry," Fu Bo looked into Shen Qiang's eyes. "The Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra."

Looking at a stunned Shen Qiang, Fu Bo clapped and slammed a stack of documents onto the living room coffee table.

"One hundred and fifty million in cash, plus four villas in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, and Shenzhen, as our young miss's dowry."

Shen Qiang was dumbstruck, "Please wait a moment, I'm a bit dizzy right now."

Seeing this, the Sect Leader of the Door of Happiness laughed, "Ah Da, you've scared him. Let Old Two Xiong explain."

Fu Bo frowned, "What's there to be dizzy about?"

Xiong Zhenghui laughed, pulled Fu Bo back to the sofa.

Then, signaling Shen Qiang to also sit, he said, "Shen Qiang, you might not understand, but it's actually very simple. Chu Qing is of marriageable age now, she likes you very much. Originally, Fu Bo didn't agree to this, but just before, we discovered your secret, you are a Dragon Demon, and our Chu Qing is a Fox Demon. Both of you are outstanding, a match made in heaven."

"So we decided to let Chu Qing be with you," Xiong Zhenghui said.

Shen Qiang turned his head to look at Chu Qing.

He saw her sitting rigidly next to the Sect Leader of the Door of Happiness, too nervous to look at Shen Qiang.

"Do you like Chu Qing?" Xiong Zhenghui asked with a smile.

Shen Qiang's eyes immediately brightened, "Of course I do."

Chu Qing, sitting next to the Sect Leader of the Door of Happiness, blushed fiercely, her gaze becoming coquettishly tender.

"So, do you want to marry her?" Xiong Zhenghui said with a smile.

"Yes!" Shen Qiang didn't even think about it, and he immediately responded. At the same time, Shen Qiang pulled Xiu Ju, who was standing by his side, to sit beside him, saying, "But I have many girlfriends. If Miss Chu Qing agrees, I will cherish and love her as I do my own eyes. However, I cannot betray others just for her."

"Nonsense!" Uncle Fu slammed the table, "Our Chu Qing is as beautiful as a heavenly immortal, gifted with unique talents. As long as she obtains the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra, she can surely become the King of Demons. You, this trashy dragon demon, even after obtaining the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra, you are still so weak. What right do you have to talk terms?"

Shen Qiang remained silent.

At that moment, the Sect Leader of Happy Gate laughed and said, "Ah Da, don't lose your temper. In fact, I find Shen Qiang's words quite sincere. After all, there are many beautiful women in the world. If he were to drive away everyone else for Chu Qing, who's to say he wouldn't drive away Chu Qing for another woman in the future?"

"Yes, yes, the Sect Leader knows me too well," Shen Qiang hastily said.

"Stop kissing up!" Uncle Fu shouted sternly, "I don't care about other women. I just want to know, after you take Chu Qing to Provincial City, how will you treat her?"

"Going to Provincial City with me?" Shen Qiang was surprised.

Uncle Fu was furious: "With everything turned out like this, won't the Zhang Family seek revenge, not to mention revenge on Chu Qing? If we don't leave, should we just wait to be wiped out?"

Anxiety tightening his chest, Shen Qiang said, "No problem. I have some influence in Provincial City. I won't let Miss Chu Qing suffer."

"Then that settles it. Chu Qing's dowry is here. I've already booked your plane tickets. Leave tonight to avoid further complications," Uncle Fu said.

Shen Qiang nodded: "No problem."

"After Chu Qing goes with you, remember to give her the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra. From now on, her last name is Shen," Uncle Fu said.

"No problem. I'll get the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra from Golden Cicada once I get back," Shen Qiang said.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room became strange.

"Who is Golden Cicada? Does she have the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra?"

Seeing Xiong Zhenghui's doubtful eyes, Shen Qiang said solemnly, "She's my maid. She is cultivating the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra, currently practicing the second level."

Instantly, the expression on the faces of the four great demons changed.

"You mean to say, there are already demons that can cultivate the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra?"

"Two," Shen Qiang said seriously. "One is my maid, Golden Cicada, and the other is my tree son. Both of them are practicing it, and I feel my tree son is doing a bit better."

Hearing this, the four great demons' eyes became even stranger.

After a slight cough, Uncle Fu said, "Our Chu Qing is uniquely talented and can definitely cultivate it. Go now, head to the airport. The plane is already waiting for you."

Sitting on the sofa, Shen Qiang said, "We can leave immediately, but I will not claim her as my wife to anyone. I can have many girlfriends, and people might say I'm flirtatious, but the law stipulates that I can only marry one wife."

"Why all this nonsense," Uncle Fu said angrily. "Say what you wish, but Chu Qing is going with you regardless."

"You could say she's your personal assistant, your close female secretary. It doesn't matter," Xiong Zhenghui said, checking the time. "You need to leave now, to avoid missing your schedule."

With approval, Shen Qiang stood up and said, "Alright, let's go."

Shen Qiang then took Xiu Ju with him into the car. He saw the Sect Leader of Happy Gate begrudgingly holding Chu Qing's hand, her eyes red, repeatedly instructing something as Chu Qing wiped her tears.

This left Shen Qiang completely baffled, unable to understand why, since they had decided that Chu Qing would follow him, they were now crying. Nowadays, with such convenient transport and communication—phones, the internet, meeting up is as easy as flipping one's hand—why couldn't they just laugh it off and be happy?

Meanwhile, as Shen Qiang felt baffled, Xiu Ju, filled with jealousy, whispered in Shen Qiang's ear, "Congratulations. This Chu Qing seems even more formidable than me. Now, not only have you gained a fierce guardian, but also such a beautiful and strong partner. You must be incredibly proud of yourself."
