Thud! The stunning beauty with an alluring figure, Jing Xiangwei, crashed solidly into Shen Qiang's embrace. Feeling the fiery breath from Shen Qiang's body and looking into his intense eyes, her mind went blank, and she froze.

Shen Qiang couldn't help but lean in closer.

Two hours later.

As the streetlights came on and sanitation workers began to walk the streets, inside the SUV parked outside the store, the rich scent of roses bloomed like flowers at dawn.

Jing Xiangwei, too shy to raise her head, lay satisfied yet bashfully on Shen Qiang's chest, whispering nervously, "Listen, there are cleaners outside now. If we stay in the car, we'll be discovered."

Shen Qiang, hearing her words, smiled and, inhaling the rose fragrance from her, reassured her softly, "Don't worry, even if someone passes by the car, they won't be able to see inside."

The pretty face of Jing Xiangwei turned red all at once. She then fell silent, resting her head lazily and comfortably on Shen Qiang's shoulder, feeling both nervously anxious and blissfully at a loss for words.

"I've actually been thinking that you could move in with me at Long Yan Mountain Villa," Shen Qiang, equally silent for a moment, had a heart full of complex feelings. In fact, Shen Qiang, who had slipped into 'Saint Mode' after their encounter, was confused whether sleeping with Jing Xiangwei was due to genuine affection or just to provoke Gao Hui.

"Really!" Jing Xiangwei's eyes lit up. She turned around, gazing at Shen Qiang with full surprise, asking, "You mean, I can live with Chu Qing? I feel so comfortable around her."

Shen Qiang smiled, of course understanding that this comfort was probably because Chu Qing was a Flower Demon, and Jing Xiangwei herself raised a Flower Demon, so they felt comfortable together.

"Of course it's true," Shen Qiang smiled.

But the joyful Jing Xiangwei immediately frowned slightly, murmuring softly, "Let's not do that. Sister Gao Hui has it tough; she's alone and lonely. I'll stay with her for now, and when she eventually finds someone she truly loves, I'll move in with you, is that okay?"

At these words, Shen Qiang, with a hint of amusement and frustration, said, "In your eyes, is your Sister Gao Hui more important than me?"

Jing Xiangwei's cheeks flamed with shyness, too embarrassed to meet Shen Qiang's gaze. After a long silence, she said, "Sister Gao Hui has had a hard life; her husband was killed by my brother. She's very kind. When I was most helpless, she took me in. So in my heart, if there's truly a good person in this world, it has to be her."

"Moreover, considering the incident with Xiao Bao being kidnapped, if there's no cultivator by Sister Gao Hui's side, I would feel very uneasy, so..."

Gazing hesitantly at Shen Qiang, Jing Xiangwei said apologetically with eyes full of remorse, "I'd rather stay with her first."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang, with resigned amusement, raised an eyebrow and said, "Alright, I respect your decision." After pausing, the somewhat hesitant Shen Qiang added after a moment, "The Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra. Chu Qing is practicing it. It may take some time before she can pass it on to you, so don't be anxious. I'm a man of my word."

Instantly, Jing Xiangwei sat up abruptly, her eyes widened in shock as she looked at Shen Qiang, saying, "What did you just say? Do you think I slept with you for the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra?"

Looking at her half-exposed snow-white delicate body, Shen Qiang replied awkwardly, "That's not what I meant. I only wanted to say that since you're with me, if you need it, I should give it to you."

Jing Xiangwei's eyes reddened, and tears welled up mysteriously as she said with a hint of grievance, "Shen Qiang! What do you take me for? I, Jing Xiangwei, may need the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra, but I would never stoop so low as to sell my body for it!"

"I gave myself to you because I thought you were a real man. I can't believe you would say such a thing now!"

Embarrassed, Shen Qiang pulled Jing Xiangwei to him, saying helplessly, "I swear, my previous words didn't mean to belittle you in any way. I know you're not with me because of the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra. If you were that sort of unscrupulous woman, you wouldn't have tried to buy the Heart Sutra from me; you would have sent someone to steal it instead."

Looking at the aggrieved Jing Xiangwei, Shen Qiang gently kissed her reddened lips.

Unexpectedly, Jing Xiangwei suddenly bit down hard on Shen Qiang's upper lip. Only when she had made him grimace in pain did she let go, then spoke with a hint of petulance, "I don't care, you misspoke just now, and I want an apology."

With a helpless raise of an eyebrow, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Dear Miss Jing Xiangwei, Shen Qiang just committed the folly of suspecting a gentleman of his own base intentions. Now I sincerely apologize to you and ask for your forgiveness."

Seeing the resigned Shen Qiang apologizing, Jing Xiangwei laughed sweetly, replying, "Alright, considering your sincere attitude, I forgive you."

Then, with the playfulness of a spoiled child, she snuggled into Shen Qiang's embrace. After a while, Jing Xiangwei, nestled in Shen's arms, spoke in a low voice filled with longing, "If my brother were still alive, he would certainly have liked you."

In the same moment Shen Qiang was taken aback,

He distinctly heard Jing Xiangwei, harboring undisguised malice in her tone, vow from within his embrace, "No matter where on earth, I will definitely find the masked man who killed my brother and dismember him, grinding his bones to dust!"
