Hearing Jing Xiangwei's words, Shen Qiang was startled and couldn't help but tightly embrace her delicate body.

Jing Xiangwei was beautiful and youthful, a kind-hearted young lady. Shen Qiang could feel that she must have been the type of noblewoman who grew up protected by her parents and family, even though she had followed Shen Qiang to annihilate the Long Yan Sword Sect and had participated in the brutal slaughter.

Yet she still hadn't truly understood the dark side of this beautiful world.

Jing Haotian!

An arrogant show-off.

Because he lost to Shen Qiang during the bidding and failed to purchase the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra, he harbored resentment. Not only did he use Gao Hui to extort Shen Qiang, but he also planned to kill him to silence him.

So from Shen Qiang's point of view, Jing Haotian thoroughly deserved to die, which is why when Shen Qiang killed Jing Haotian, he did not hesitate in the slightest.

Even if it were now, Shen Qiang would not mind killing Jing Haotian once more.

However, in Jing Xiangwei's eyes, Jing Haotian was her beloved brother she couldn't let go of.

And perhaps, in the eyes of Jing Xiangwei's parents, Jing Haotian was just a good child who made a mistake.

So sometimes, the good and evil in this world are not simply black and white.

For Gao Hui, the Shen Qiang who helped her set up her store and provided her with incense might be a living Bodhisattva.

But for the Long Yan Sword Sect, Shen Qiang was nothing more than a ruthless, merciless bastard.

"In this world, the false can never become true, and there is no lie that can deceive forever," Shen Qiang thought.

He then took a deep breath, preparing to tell her that he was the man behind the mask, as it was something he couldn't hide forever. Sooner or later, Jing Xiangwei would find out, and it was better to confess outright than to offer a weak explanation when the time came.

But before Shen Qiang could speak, the bashful Jing Xiangwei's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, "Someone from the kitchen is here, I must go right away to open the door." With that, in just an instant, the floral vines flashed, and her clothes were already on. Pulling open the car door, she didn't forget to kiss Shen Qiang's cheek before leaving with a whiff of fragrance.

Looking at the closing car door again.

Lying in the car, Shen Qiang felt somewhat disappointed, yet also somewhat relieved.

Let nature take its course, perhaps that might be for the best.

After all, he had just slept with her, and telling her such cruel truth right now seemed rather too brutal.

Dressed, and unafraid of the autumn chill, Shen Qiang lay in the car, smiling as he watched Jing Xiangwei, donning a duckbill cap and an apron, bustling at the cash register.

Whenever their eyes met, the charming Jing Xiangwei would shyly press her lips together and smile.

And Shen Qiang smiled back at her.

"This sister smells so good," said Jin Chan, who had quietly settled on Shen Qiang's shoulder, gazing enviously at the busy Jing Xiangwei and said, "She's also so beautiful. Jin Chan likes her."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang laughed, "Didn't you hear her just now saying she wanted to kill me?"

Jin Chan giggled, "Yes, I heard. She also said she wanted to cut you into pieces and scatter your ashes and bones, but she said all that because she doesn't know that you are the man with the mask. If she knew, she definitely wouldn't say such things again."

Looking at her by the cash register, Shen Qiang fell silent for a moment before asking, "Do you think I should tell her?"

Jin Chan was silent for a moment before answering, "You should, but now is not the right time."

At that, Shen Qiang laughed.

Right then, Gao Hui, the beautiful matron, and two employees came over with two large bags of buns. Jin Chan zipped into the pocket of Shen Qiang's shirt in a flash.

Handing the two large bags of buns to Shen Qiang with a smile, the experienced Gao Hui could tell from Jing Xiangwei's shyness and excitement what had transpired between them.

"Not bad, with little sister Xiangwei, right?"

Hearing Gao Hui's teasing smile, Shen Qiang was startled for a moment before smiling awkwardly, "It's alright."

Gao Hui smiled, "Alright, I know you're busy. The steamed buns and dishes you wanted are all ready, go ahead to your business. When you're free, you can come over and help look after the shop with Xiangwei."

Seeing Gao Hui's meaningful smile, Shen Qiang chuckled and said, "I'll come over. You should get busy too, don't overwork yourself, and take good care of my son."

At these words, the beautiful young wife Gao Hui was taken aback, then cast a coquettish glance at Shen Qiang and scolded, "What a smooth talker, even trying to get a bargain with your 'sister', off you go, the buns will get cold in a while."

Shen Qiang laughed and turned to the driver's seat.

At this time, dawn was just breaking, and it wasn't yet the morning rush hour in Provincial City, so Shen Qiang had an unobstructed drive and quickly arrived at Long Yan Mountain Villa.

The villa was very quiet.

But the Tiger Demon, Uncle Fu, who had already woken up, was practicing his Tai Chi Boxing in the spotlessly clean courtyard.

Each move and form not only looked authentic but also somehow carried an added air of a senior master's grace.

"Uncle Fu, I've bought some steamed buns, let's eat!"

Shen Qiang lifted the steamed buns he was carrying and then entered Long Yan Mountain Villa, heading for the building at the front.

Once inside.

Shen Qiang was somewhat puzzled.

This Long Yan Mountain Villa was built along the mountainside and riverside, and in its very early days, this place was known as Long Yan Temple. That temple was situated in the back garden of Long Yan Mountain Villa.

This villa, because it was connected with the mountain.

Therefore, it covered an area of twenty-three square kilometers. It was not only incredibly vast but for ordinary visitors, just the scenery of the back mountain within the villa would take a good two to three days to fully appreciate.

So with that big mountain and Long Yan Temple there, Shen Qiang hadn't paid much attention to this office building of the villa.

Yet upon entering, he was taken aback by the opulent and luxurious decoration.

Futhermore, although the building was only five stories tall, it was impressively large.

It wasn't until Shen Qiang released his Divine Sense that he observed the building was primarily made up of various guest rooms, study rooms, activity rooms and the like, feeling a bit like a hotel.

Carrying the steamed buns, Shen Qiang arrived at the third-floor dining area.

It was only then that Shen Qiang saw the Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing, dressed in a seductive cheongsam, wearing an apron and a chef's hat, cooking. After placing everything on the dining table,

Shen Qiang had just embraced the Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing with a beaming smile when she laughed. She sniffed lightly and then said with a smile, "You slept with that Flower Demon's master, looks like I'm going to have another 'sister'."

Shen Qiang laughed, "If you're jealous, I can make sure they don't appear before you."

The Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing smiled with her eyes curved, saying, "It's alright, I like them."

Hearing this, a smile spread across Shen Qiang's face, but then it froze.

"Because people can be eaten too when necessary."

Awkward! Although he knew that Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing was just joking, Shen Qiang couldn't help but feel nervous, fearing she might really stew someone on a bad day.

Just then, following the lively footsteps, Bianyi walked proudly into the dining room with the beautiful Heroic Thief Jiang Hanyang, then with a slap, tossed a dossier onto the dining table towards Shen Qiang, leaned on the chair like a boss, and even nonchalantly put his boots on the table. While swinging his legs, he boasted,

"My dear boss, reward me. The Long Yan Group is now taken care of and from this moment on, it bears the name Shen."

After picking up the file from the table and giving it a glance, Shen Qiang smiled faintly and said, "Chu Qing just mentioned she's never tried human scum meat, so she was thinking about stewing you. But since you're so capable, I'll reward you with a reprieve from the cooking pot. Now, you may thank me."
