Chapter 2109: 2112: The Bizarre Admiration of the Masses

At this moment in the banquet hall, Qin Yurou, elegant and ethereal, as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal from the Ninth Heaven, and Pan Meiqing in purple, whose looks were outstanding and whose body was as sexy as a walking tank of meat and curves, were sitting at a table with Bai Jiao, Xu Nan, and the others accompanying them. Only, they weren't talking much right now, just watching with delighted eyes the people in the hall who were holding forth in heated discussion.

"Speaking of the heroes of this era, there are many capable people, but aside from Shen Qiang, Shen Medicine King, no one else can catch my eye. The reason is simple: whether it's the Five Tigers of Cultivation or those famous masters, not a single one has Shen Qiang's courage, boldness, and genuine heart to fight for benefits for us cultivators."

"Well said. To put it in detail, the Medicine King of the Cultivation World has produced no less than dozens, but never has there been anyone who dared, like Shen Qiang, to risk universal condemnation and speak up for us cultivators."

"Young, promising, bold, daring to be the first under heaven—Shen Medicine King truly convinces me."

Listening to their praise,

the beauties couldn't help each wearing a smile, their eyes full of pride.

"Crooked paths, demonic ways—when I was with Shen Qiang, the thing I heard the most was that. Now, being able to hear these cultivators sincerely praising Shen Qiang like this, it's simply like being in a dream." Xu Nan's smile held a hint of bitterness.

Bai Jiao smiled charmingly. "Hmph, when we first came to Heshenghe, many cultivators said we were blind. Now, just who was blind, they should have some idea in their hearts. I'm proud of Shen Qiang."

They smiled, each as charming as a flower.

And the peerless Fairy Qin Yurou, at this moment, was smiling a bit more reservedly. After all, she had just arrived and wasn't familiar with the others, so naturally she wouldn't talk rashly, but in her heart, she too was filled with pride.

"The strongest Alchemist, an undisputed Medicine King, truly worthy of respect. Although we can't guarantee everyone acknowledges Shen Qiang, now, if anyone badmouths Shen Qiang behind his back, no one will believe it anymore. After all, Shen Qiang is now loved by the people."

Pan Meiqing, with her tank-like sexy figure of meat and curves, was also looking with delighted eyes at the many cultivators who were speaking so highly of Shen Qiang.

"Shen Qiang is really awesome. This is practically a miracle. As the King of Demons, Shen Qiang actually managed to make all cultivators sincerely accept him. That's really, really difficult. Don't even mention that Shen Qiang comes from a grassroots background—even the twelve people at the Peak of the Cultivation World could never possibly reach this level. With so many Sects openly supporting him, Shen Qiang's status has already gone far beyond the ordinary definition of a Medicine King."

Just as they were filled with joy and shock.

At this time in the online live-stream room, the many cultivators watching were all speaking in shock, but what they were saying was completely different from before.

"I originally wanted to say that in this life I've never seen someone so shameless! But now I can't say that anymore. Although I'm still unhappy about Shen Qiang grabbing all the top rich and beautiful Goddesses of the Cultivation World into Heshenghe, I have to admit that this guy has actually done some good."

"Treat our Goddess kindly! I was gonna go off on him, but for the sake of the Alchemist Convention proposed by Shen Qiang, I've decided to spare him this once!"

"There's no such thing as perfection in this world. Think carefully: aside from being a bit of a flirt, Shen Qiang doesn't have much you can nitpick about in other aspects. He's the kind of person who truly dares to give up profits and is genuinely willing to seek benefits for the masses."

"No one is perfect; flaws don't overshadow the brilliance. Which man doesn't secretly want a few more confidante beauties? Besides, since they're both willing, there's nothing for us to criticize."

But right then, a single bullet comment appeared and instantly shifted the tone of the live-stream.

"Damn, I always thought that when I said in the live room, 'In this life I've never seen someone so shameless,' and sprayed Shen Qiang as despicable, shameless, and low, I was doing it because I admire him, using those words to joke with him. Don't tell me you guys weren't?"

In an instant, the style of the live-stream flipped.

"Ahahaha, yeah, yeah. Shen Qiang! Don't think that just because you did something good, I won't roast you. Let go of our Goddess, or the forty-meter-long broadsword in my hand is gonna triple-crit in three swings, and by then it'll be too late no matter what you say!"

"Mm, makes sense. Shen Qiang, don't think you can run wild just because you're handsome! Second Battalion Commander, bring up my Italian cannon!"

"Hmph, think you're fine just because you became a hero? Keep dreaming! Come on then, if you dare lay a hand on my Fairy Yurou, I'll have to fight you to the death. Hmph, come, if you've got the guts, I'll even let you have three moves!"

"Shhh! In this life I've never seen someone so shameless!"

"Despicable, shameless, low!"

"Squatting in the corner, drawing circles, cursing in progress."

Compared to these many male cultivators who were playing around and getting hyped up, the Female Cultivators instantly helped Shen Qiang pull even more aggro.

"Ah, Your Majesty, I want to bear your monkeys."

"My king is mighty. This concubine has already sworn: in this life, I'll marry no one but you!"

"Such a dazzling man makes me think of the sun!"

"Ah, I've got my floatie ready. Now I can bathe in the river of love together with Your Majesty."

The words of the many Female Cultivators turned what was originally a small teasing game into a full-blown formation.

"Spider-Man says: In this life I've never seen someone as shameless as Shen Qiang!"

"Chun-Li says: In this life I've never seen someone as shameless as Shen Qiang!"

"Ultraman says: In this life I've never seen someone as shameless as Shen Qiang!"

"Patrick Star says: In this life I've never seen someone as shameless as Shen Qiang!"

In an instant, the bullet comments flooded the screen, the live footage completely blocked out. Obviously they were all words of mockery, yet they somehow carried a strange sense of comedic joy.

Meanwhile, in the main conference room, looking at Shen Qiang's back, the Medicine King Valley Master Qin Yongquan nodded in satisfaction and said, "Mr. Tang, what do you think of Shen Qiang?"

"Arrogant." Dragon Group's Tang Huaqi said coldly.

Qin Yongquan smiled and said, "One can't be too greedy. You can't expect everyone else to be a Saint."

Tang Huaqi was silent for a moment, then said, "I understand."

"The convention is already a foregone conclusion. If there's no punishment mechanism, then this convention will be just empty words. So on that front, I'll leave it to you, Mr. Tang. I think the Dragon Group also wants to see the authority to punish Alchemists in the hands of the Dragon Group, and that is the fundamental reason Shen Qiang pulled you in."

Hearing this, Tang Huaqi hesitated slightly, then nodded. "I won't decline."

Pan Zheng smiled at that, glanced at the Medicine King Valley Master Qin Yongquan, and said, "You guys can chat about that all you like, but right now I only want to see my daughter happily together with Shen Qiang. Excuse me."

Yu Xinghuo smiled.

Qin Yongquan immediately stood up as well and said, "Pan Zheng, you should actually be a bit more polite to me."

"My daughter is at the Dao Fruit Stage." Pan Zheng smiled, teasing, "So you should be the one to take the initiative and be polite to me. That way, maybe I'll tell my daughter not to bully the delicate Fairy Qin."
