Blankly staring at Shen Qiang, the absolutely beautiful Qian Shanxue's eyes released an unusual radiance.

"You want Xiaolei and Ali to resign, hoping they can stay away from dangerous environments?" Qian Shanxue raised her brows lightly and said, "But have you considered the effort Dragon Group has spent to train them, and their importance within Dragon Group?"

Shen Qiang smiled slightly and said, "Don't be conceited, the earth will rotate the same without anyone. I once thought my presence was important, but during those six months over there, I pondered many things."

"I was thinking, if I never returned, would this world change because of it."

Glancing at Ali, who had gentle eyes, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "In the end, I found that no matter how I simulated it, this world wouldn't change. The sun would rise as usual, the earth wouldn't be destroyed, cultivators would still brandish their power, and the flowers of sin would bloom in the dark."

"The only things that change are the people I love dearly. They would cry and be sad because of my departure, but after a while, they would fall in love with other men. I even thought, if I died for too long, perhaps my child wouldn't remember me and would call someone else dad."

Looking at the stunned Qian Shanxue, Shen Qiang raised his brows lightly and said, "This is the plump ideal versus the harsh reality. If I'm gone, Heshenghe will surely fall, but if it does collapse, the best outcome for my beloved girlfriends is that they find an ordinary man to marry and live a mundane life."

With cold eyes Shen Qiang looked at Qian Shanxue and said calmly, "But you should understand the principle of 'when a wall falls, everyone pushes.' Once Heshenghe falls, the majority of them will die. So when I realized this, I made a decision, which is that I must ensure myself and them happiness."

"As members of Dragon Group, we must take the country's and nation's safety as our duty." Qian Shanxue frowned.

Shen Qiang laughed, "I certainly will do many things for the country and nation, but first, I need to live happily enough. Also, don't lecture me on principles; in the face of survival, all ideals are empty talk, and all nobility is merely moral blackmail."

Qian Shanxue said, "Ali, Xiaolei, do you two agree with his idea?"

Ye Xiaolei was silent for a moment then said, "Actually, compared to the bloody crime scene, I prefer blue skies, white clouds, and flower-blooming meadows, and..." shyly looking at Shen Qiang, Ye Xiaolei said, "My cultivation isn't high, and my usefulness in Dragon Group is very limited, so I think I'm better off stepping back. That way, without worries, Shen Qiang will grow stronger."

Ali giggled, "Shen Qiang is the best. As long as you relieve his worries, I believe he will indeed achieve many things we cannot."

Hearing this, Qian Shanxue smiled and said, "I understand; congratulations on finding happiness. Now it's me dragging you down; if it weren't for me needing to participate in this Major General promotion competition, perhaps you would be with Shen Qiang now."

"We'll help you." Ye Xiaolei said.

Looking at the slightly bitter smile on Qian Shanxue, Shen Qiang said very earnestly, "Qian Shanxue, you are my superior. I ought to remain silent, but now I feel I must speak because you need to understand, one can never conquer the world alone."

"Accept the help from me and Heshenghe. Stubbornly insisting on your so-called knight spirit, personal heroism will never defeat Wenren Meiqiao, and if you lose, everything Xiaolei and we helped you with will be meaningless."

"Integrate resources, with the smallest cost, achieve the greatest victory—this is what a general should consider."

Qian Shanxue was silent for a moment before nodding and said, "I accept."

Shen Qiang smiled, remained silent for a moment, then said, "If we help you wholeheartedly, and in the end, if you still can't be promoted, then I hope you'll stay here at Heshenghe."

Qian Shanxue burst out laughing, "To watch you all be a happy couple?"

"I like you."

Shen Qiang's straightforward confession left Qian Shanxue at a loss.

She was dumbfounded for a good five seconds, blushing softly asked, "Really?"

"I don't need to lie because there's no need to. During that time of more than half a year, I already experienced the feeling of losing everything, so if you don't dislike me, then please be with me."

Looking at Shen Qiang's serious eyes, Qian Shanxue laughed flower-like and said, "What if I succeed in upgrading?"

"Go achieve your dream." Shen Qiang raised his brow and said, "But here will always be your home."

Qian Shanxue bent her eyes with laughter, and then slightly shyly said, "Then let's put our energy into the promotion competition now; anyway, it's only a dozen days. After the competition ends, I'll tell you the answer, okay?"

Shen Qiang smiled and agreed.

After dinner, time was already close to midnight.

Qian Shanxue, Ali, and Ye Xiaolei all returned to Jinyu Huacheng.

Shen Qiang drove home.

Upon arriving at the Mountain Villa.

Using Divine Sense to observe the sleeping women, a smile naturally appeared on Shen Qiang's lips.

They're all here, so everything is well.

Thinking silently, Shen Qiang went upstairs.

When he reached the staircase on the second floor, Shen Qiang saw the slender jade legs wearing black stockings, in sexy lingerie, the Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing, her eyes coquettish, leaning against the door, softly asking, "Will my king cultivate tonight?"

Shen Qiang laughed.

He walked up to the Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing.

For Chu Qing, Shen Qiang was only away for one day, but to Shen Qiang, he hadn't seen her for more than half a year.

With a big hand gently on her waist, Shen Qiang's eyes brightened as he looked at her beautiful eyes sparkling under the light.

Gently lifting her white chin, her slightly parted cherry lips, like cherry blossom petals, revealed teeth as white and flawless as jade, pure and translucent.

With just a gentle kiss.

Shen Qiang standing in front of her smiled, then as he led her into the room, he softly said in her ear, "Tonight, no cultivation, no energy cultivation, but tonight, I want you."

Upon hearing this, the coy-faced Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing quickly whimpered and collapsed into Shen Qiang's arms.

The seven long snow-white tails behind her playfully covered her face, exposing only her delicate chin.

Looking at the shy Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing.

Shen Qiang waved gently to turn off the light.

Then, placed her tender body on the bed.

Outside the window, the bright moonlight peeked through the curtains, its not-so-bright light outlining her graceful and perfect figure, like a goddess.

Discarding his clothes and approaching, Shen Qiang embraced her, gazing at her eyes shining brightly in the dark, whispered softly into her ear, "Thank heavens, it's wonderful to have you in this life."
