Chapter 2166: 2169: To Get Qian Ning's Help in Stealing the Divine Corpse, the Handsome Man Scheme Must Be Used (Fifth Update)

The once arrogant Gong Ziyi let out a heart-wrenching scream, while the stunning actress Song Weiyin smiled sweetly. Meanwhile, they got in the car and left the villa area calmly with Ye Guyun. In the car, listening to the music, the adorable Ye Guyun smiled with squinted eyes, saying, "Master, you're so bad, that Gong Ziyi is so pathetic. Why do I suddenly feel like you're bullying him?"

Hearing this, Shen Qiang frowned tightly and then said calmly, "Using an empty city strategy to scare him can only be done once. Next time, we won't be so lucky."

Ye Guyun responded in surprise, "Where is the luck in this? It's clearly your overpowering strength; you've already guessed everything he did."

Shen Qiang shook his head and said, "Song Weiyin didn't want to tell me about this thing, but Wenren Meiqiao from the Dragon Group knew. This is Gong Ziyi's only flaw. If Song Weiyin had told me, I wouldn't have suspected a trap."

Ye Guyun frowned and said, "Master, you're overthinking. Haven't we won beautifully? You've mocked Gong Ziyi to the point where he can't even answer back, with everything under control."

Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Have you ever thought what would happen if we really fought just now?"

Ye Guyun nonchalantly said, "I'd carry you and run, they'd never catch up anyway."

Shen Qiang chuckled, then said calmly, "Gong Ziyi's four family guardians, any one of them, I'm not confident I can defeat. Moreover, even with the seemingly ordinary Dao Fruit Stage cultivators, whether we can beat them is unknown."

"What are we afraid of? We have so many people in Heshenghe. If they provoke us, we'll just beat them up." Ye Guyun said confidently.

Shen Qiang shook his head helplessly and said, "Currently, Heshenghe lacks ordinary cultivators and demons, but we lack strong ones."

Glancing sideways at the curious-eyed Ye Guyun, Shen Qiang said calmly, "Especially top-tier strong ones, we lack the most."

"Uncle Gui is very powerful, and that newcomer Geng Jingyi is also quite strong." Ye Guyun said naturally.

Shen Qiang frowned and said, "Geng Jingyi is a Demon Immortal. Although he's not very famous, his strength should be considerable. Uncle Gui is the elder brother of the Sea Demon King, and when it comes to real action, he should also be very strong. But then what? We have some Dao Fruit Stage level people in Heshenghe, but what about Harmonization Stage? We have none."

"Who says we don't have any?" Ye Guyun retorted, "Isn't there Lord Chi Yan in the hospital, and in Qingyun Sword Pavilion isn't there someone else? They are also at Harmonization Stage."

Shen Qiang smiled wryly, "Can they compare? Gong Ziyi's personal guards have four Harmonization Stage cultivators. All together, we at Heshenghe only have one and a half."

"We have stronger Uncle Gui and Geng Jingyi." Ye Guyun said defiantly.

Shen Qiang sighed, "Gong Ziyi also has backing. This time, I've thoroughly angered him, and a fight between us is destined to happen. Given the current strength of Heshenghe, if we fight him, the odds are three to seven."

"You can ask your master for help." Ye Guyun said stubbornly.

Shen Qiang laughed, "Don't joke. If you really think the Dragon Group War God will help me in this kind of fight, then I can only say you're not mature-minded. He represents the Dragon Group, bearing the responsibility of protecting Huaxia. Looking for him for something like this is just waiting to be reprimanded."

"Shen Qiang, you've changed, what a coward." Ye Guyun pouted beside him, unhappy.

Shen Qiang helplessly sighed and said, "This isn't about cowardice, it's a survival issue. Fighting can be done anytime, but we must win because we can't afford to lose right now."

"What are you afraid of, at most the odds will be fifty-fifty. We can fight against them!" Ye Guyun, with a child-like temperament.

Shen Qiang sighed and said, "People in the Cultivation World excel at adapting to the circumstances. When you're doing well, they call you brothers; when you're down and out, they only kick you when you're down. Heshenghe has just completed a development phase and has established a foothold in the Cultivation World."

"Under these circumstances, if we're stable enough, in a few years, anyone in the Cultivation World who wants to be our enemy must think twice. But if now we and Gong Ziyi fought to mutual destruction, other cultivators would certainly find any way to hinder Heshenghe's development."

"Doesn't the Bai Family and Xu Family exist? And Medicine King Valley, won't they all help you?" Ye Guyun pouted, indifferent.

Shen Qiang smiled, "Leaving our fate to others to control is something I can't do. And to be blunt, the ones most hoping Heshenghe would stumble should be those two families, because when Heshenghe is weak, it's easier to control us, allowing them to stably distribute our medicines without ever worrying about us going independent."

Ye Guyun was left dumbfounded and a little confused, saying, "With everyone being their own, the stronger you are, shouldn't they be happier?"

Shen Qiang smiled helplessly and said, "You still don't understand human nature. Many can share hardships, but few can share prosperity, because in hardship, both sides have to depend on each other, but once wealthy, there are more paths to choose from."

"So what they're hoping now is that we are only dependent on them, instead of our wings hardening and having the capability to fly solo and leave them behind."

Ye Guyun nodded blankly, then seemed to half understand, saying, "But recruiting people now is not easy, those with Harmonization Stage cultivation level are quite arrogant, so to recruit such people into the fold, I think you better wait for us to slowly cultivate into Harmonization Stage."

"How long will it take?" Ye Guyun paused, then with a cunning smile said, "If you give me delicious food every day, probably three, five, seven, eight years later, I'll be ready."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Three, five, seven, eight years, you make it sound so easy. Whether we can hold off Gong Ziyi for three, five, seven, eight days without engaging in battle is still unknown."

Ye Guyun pouted, silent, after a while said, "What about Qingxuan and Youying, I feel they're really strong. If you release them, won't they definitely beat Gong Ziyi until he's scared out of his wits?"

Shen Qiang smiled, "Makes sense, I also want that, but since Qian Ning won't lower her head, we can't get the Divine Corpse, and wanting to release Qingxuan or make Youying stronger is simply a daydream."

Hearing this, Ye Guyun instinctively pouted and said, "What's difficult? That Qian Ning, when looking at you her heart races, face flushed, obviously likes you. You just need to sleep with her, and by then, I don't believe she won't help you."

Screech!

Shen Qiang slammed on the brakes, stalling the car, parking by the roadside, then looked at Ye Guyun in surprise and said, "What did you say?"

Ye Guyun looked at Shen Qiang innocently and said, "Of course it's about Qian Ning, last night when she looked at you, her heart was racing more than Qin Yurou and Pan Meiqing, her face flushed could control traffic. You just need to dress handsome, cool, call it what—right, beauty trap. You only need to use this trick on her, I guarantee, not only will she help you get the Divine Corpse, but she'll accompany you to the ends of the earth without a frown."
