Zhan Deyuan just stepped out of the door when Shen Qiang, sitting in the chair, turned around, looked at Ji Wei, and smiled: "That Dao Fruit Stage female demon knows you."

Ji Wei remained silent for a moment before saying: "The Sleeping Fire Lotus only blooms for seven days each year. The outside petals are purple, with some golden stamens in the middle, and an unopened bud in the innermost part, which only opens at the moment before it withers."

"I once meditated beside a very beautiful Sleeping Fire Lotus, but I never saw the day it bloomed." Ji Wei smiled at Shen Qiang, saying: "But that was over a thousand years ago, besides at that time, I ate people."

Shen Qiang smiled and said: "Aren't you afraid I'll expel you from Heshenghe?"

Ji Wei smiled and said: "Perhaps the whole world thinks you lack the ability to become the strongest, but I believe you have the ambition. Everyone makes mistakes, and from a biological perspective, I don't see anything wrong with demons eating people. The good and evil you speak of are just perspectives from your point of view."

Shen Qiang smiled, leaned back in his chair, and said: "You're right. In fact, when hunger reaches a certain level, humans will eat anything, including each other."

Seeing Ji Wei remain silent, Shen Qiang asked: "In a situation where food is plentiful, do you think cultivators and demons can coexist?"

Ji Wei said in a deep voice: "Even if food is abundant, cultivators and demons are inherently incompatible. So, I suggest you don't do that. It's like humans can choose not to eat pigs, but they will never sleep in a pigsty."

Shen Qiang smiled, picked up the phone, and called Bianyi.

"I just took in a cultivator who used to be an instructor in the Dragon Group, named Zhan Deyuan. I've given him a small task now. If he completes it successfully, let him stay with you. Yes, you can work him hard, but keep in mind, if he loses his temper, he could kill you."

He hung up the phone.

Shen Qiang said: "I've decided to only allow demons to stay in the back courtyard of the Mountain Villa. As for cultivators, they will be arranged in the Heshenghe Group company premises. This way, they won't need to interact frequently, reducing a lot of friction."

"Very wise." Ji Wei said.

Shen Qiang was silent for a moment and then asked: "Do you think I should give you and that female demon higher authority to help me manage the demons in Heshenghe?"

Ji Wei said: "That's not a good idea. Given my and that Flower Demon's abilities, it would be easy to attract followers if we wanted to. The reality is that we don't like managing others."

"Besides..." Ji Wei looked at Shen Qiang and said: "In fact, those demons came here for you."

"I don't want to manage either." Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow.

Ji Wei smiled and said: "Let that Tiger Demon manage. I can sense that he would like such a task very much, and also the Crane Spirit."

"You mean those two Elders?" Shen Qiang's eyes lit up.

"Yes, they will manage everything well." Ji Wei said with great confidence.

Shen Qiang laughed and nodded: "That's truly a good idea."

Meanwhile, in the grand hall where Shen Qiang and Ji Wei were discussing these demons.

Captain Wu's facial muscles were already numb as he watched the crazed crowd of demons excitedly report their cultivation levels.

"I'm at the Yang God Realm!"

"I'm at the Yin God Realm."

"Yin God Realm!"

Over three hundred demons were eagerly registering, appearing to be very cheerful.

But as the registration of many demons was nearing its end, the members of the Dragon Group suddenly realized a terrifying fact.

And that is, among the demons coming to join Heshenghe.

There wasn't a single weak one.

Considering the cultivators.

Seventy-five percent of them were below the Nascent Soul Stage.

But these demons, all of whom were capable of transforming into human form, meaning each one's cultivation level was at least at the Nascent Soul Stage.

This itself was already terrifying enough.

What's even more terrifying.

Those demons capable of transforming into human form had their cultivation levels mostly concentrated at the Yang God and Yin God Realms, with Nascent Soul Stage being rare.

"Though there aren't many demons, their overall strength is already nearing that of the top-tier families." Captain Wu looked at the demons in shock.

The middle-aged man sighed: "He got stronger. No family could gather such a huge power so quickly."

Captain Wu nodded helplessly, saying: "Thinking about it calmly, it's terrifying. If one day, all demons in the world submitted to Shen Qiang, who would be able to check him?"

The middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "Give up the idea of controlling Shen Qiang; otherwise, you're seeking your death."

Captain Wu sighed, saying: "I won't think about it anymore. Those twenty-eight new Mixed Element Realm experts, any one of them could easily finish me off. If a Dao Fruit Stage Great Demon made a move, I would be instantly killed."

"Good that you understand. The current Heshenghe's real combat power is no less than any top-tier family, so it's best we keep respect." Looking at the delighted Qian Shanxue, the middle-aged man said: "As for Colonel Qian Shanxue, such a woman can only be matched by someone like Shen Qiang."

After a long silence, Captain Wu said: "I understand. She's stronger than me, and only someone even stronger could win her submission. For a man weaker than her, no matter what, he can't win her heart."

"Good that you understand, because I don't want to attend your funeral." The middle-aged man said calmly.

Captain Wu merely sighed: "Maybe I should find a girlfriend, someone ordinary who can admire me. Perhaps that would suit me better."

The middle-aged man laughed: "My wife is an ordinary person. In her eyes, I'm an omnipotent immortal, like the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, so I'm very happy."

Captain Wu sighed, glancing at Qian Shanxue, who was chatting happily with the beautiful demon fox Chu Qing, and said: "I will give it a try."

Meanwhile, in Shen Qiang's office.

While talking with Ji Wei, Shen Qiang heard a gentle knock on the door.

After a call to enter, Shen Qiang was surprised to see a flower demon, looking like a woman in her thirties, with a voluptuous figure and charming appearance, walking in with a smile.

"What's up?" Shen Qiang asked.

The flower demon smiled and then softly said: "Boss, I came to ask if I could become your secretary? For the last hundred years, I've always done this job."

Seeing Shen Qiang's surprised expression, the flower demon added: "Of course, all my previous bosses were women who were very busy. I could organize their schedules whether for workouts, meetings, visits, or secret trysts, and I could do it all perfectly."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang smiled and raised an eyebrow: "Alright, you can start now, but don't forget to greet Xiu Ju."
