Throughout the entire post, among numerous young cultivators, the various replies filled with grief and the replies from all sorts of girls wanting to date him made Shen Qiang want to laugh, but at the same time, he felt somewhat sad.

If you bloom, the butterflies will come.

This saying is definitely not a joke.

It's like a girl who doesn't wash her face or comb her hair, showing yellow teeth and a mouth full of tartar; no matter how much she confesses her feelings, a man with even the slightest requirement for a partner would never agree because he simply cannot accept her from the bottom of his heart.

But if the counterpart is a pure white, beautifully charming, wealthy and capable lady, then she doesn't need to confess.

Even just a smile would draw countless men to rush over, trying every possible means to win her over.

Men are like this.

Women are like this too.

This is the real reality; it's a society that clearly values looks, family background, wealth, and status, yet insists on proclaiming that love is pure and free of any distractions—a self-deception.

Just like how every girl's heart wants to become Cinderella with crystal slippers.

Is such a thought purely because of the crystal slippers, or the idea that Cinderella can gain love?

The answer is wrong.

The real answer is they seek a prince, a wealthy, powerful, and handsome prince.

So since ancient times, powerful men never lack women by their side.

Now Shen Qiang is also like this.

Before gaining the celestial fortune, he painstakingly tried to please his girlfriend, cherishing her but she still chose to break up.

But now.

When Shen Qiang entered the cultivation world as an absolute powerhouse, he was like a blooming flower.

Miao Xiaoxia, Ye Xiaolei, Xin Xiaoting, Su Xiaonuan, Lv Shuyao, Ju Yang, Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing, Jing Xiangwei, even the Baihua Palace Master couldn't resist Shen Qiang's charm.

So after seeing these replies, the only thing Shen Qiang wanted to do was become stronger.

He casually closed the post.

The entire forum was full of such posts. After a brief glance, Shen Qiang was no longer interested in seeing what they were going to say.

But just at that moment.

A post titled "Duel with Me, Shen Qiang" caught Shen Qiang's attention.

When Shen Qiang opened the post, he saw that the poster was none other than Ling Zhengyang, who was ranked among the Five Tigers of Cultivation alongside Zuo Lianghao, and he had only said one sentence.

"Shen Qiang, duel with me. Xu Nan is a woman that only a true man like me can handle. You're just a petty schemer unworthy of having her!"

Seeing this, Shen Qiang furrowed his brows.

Each of the Five Tigers of Cultivation is very strong; Zuo Lianghao is a formidable fighter, and the others are no weaker in cultivation, especially Ling Zhengyang, who's known as the strongest among the Five Tigers.

But Shen Qiang never expected.

This guy turned out to be one of Xu Nan's pursuers.

If it was under normal circumstances, seeing such a post, Shen Qiang would definitely not be polite, directly telling him that he welcomes his provocation anytime.

But not today.

Because both the Xu Family and the Bai Family have just posted announcements, and now as soon as he turns around, Shen Qiang would be fighting with the strongest among the Five Tigers because of Xu Nan, which would seem disrespectful to the Bai Family.

So after thinking it over, Shen Qiang restrained the urge to log in and reply to him.

And directly closed the page.

Meanwhile, in Shanghai, at Dragon Group Headquarters.

Clack!

The cup in his hand was squeezed to pieces, spilling tea all over the table, the green tattoo on his hand appeared to come alive with the twitching of muscles and skin.

Wenren Meiqiao, dressed in a military uniform with a striking figure, looked in shock at the handsome man sitting beside the table and furrowed her brows, saying, "Scorpion, what happened to you?"

Scorpion smiled at his laptop, "Nothing."

A female lieutenant next to him eagerly handed him a cloth and said, "Wipe off quickly."

Scorpion gracefully smiled and took the cloth from the female lieutenant, his handsome face carrying a faint smile, causing the female lieutenant to blush inexplicably and feel shy.

Wenren Meiqiao looked at them in surprise and then furrowed her brows, saying, "Both Bai Jiao and Xu Nan like Shen Qiang and want to be with him, which is indeed unexpected, but why is your reaction so big? Could it be that you like one of them?"

Scorpion smiled and said, "Don't guess randomly, I'm just a bit surprised and lost control of my True Qi."

Wenren Meiqiao coldly smiled and said, "Flanker, don't play dumb with me, you're always calm and composed, but seeing such news and breaking your cup means this matter affects you significantly more than what you're showing."

Scorpion stayed silent for a moment and then said, "Would you believe if I say I like Xu Nan or Bai Jiao?"

Wenren Meiqiao laughed, her pretty face full of teasing, "Come on, others might believe you have love in your heart, but I don't. You're a scoundrel who only loves yourself, you absolutely can't love any woman."

Hearing this, the young women in the room paused, their gazes at Scorpion cooled down a bit among the initial ardent stares.

Scorpion was silent for a moment, then said, "The Bai Family and Xu Family released such messages during Heshenghe's tumultuous time not to convey the event itself but to express their stance on Heshenghe through these personal matters."

"So seeing both the Bai Family and Xu Family's statements, others might go to challenge Shen Qiang, but any force wouldn't act rashly against Heshenghe."

"They would accept Heshenghe's existence and acknowledge its status, meaning that after the Bai Family and Xu Family spoke out, Heshenghe truly gained a place in the cultivation world, survived the siege of the four families, and emerged victorious."

Wenren Meiqiao said in surprise, "How does this concern you? Shen Qiang is Dragon Group's Security Advisor. Although he helped Qian Shanxue win and it was indeed infuriating, I don't understand why Heshenghe's survival bothers you."

Screech!

Scorpion's face turned sullen as he pushed away the table, stood up, and said indifferently, "Nothing. I just don't like him."

After saying that, he picked up his military cap from the table and turned to walk outside.

"Commander Scorpion! Are you leaving?"

"Lord Scorpion!"

The female eyes were filled with longing.

Only Wenren Meiqiao watched him coldly and said, "You are someone who never speaks the truth, don't expect me to believe anything you say. I and Qian Shanxue are in training, so you better not cause trouble. Shen Qiang was only our opponent, the competition is over, meaning he is merely our colleague now, so I hope you won't stir any trouble."

Scorpion laughed, handsome in demeanor, calm and elegant, as he calmly put on his cap and walked out, saying indifferently, "Since becoming a commander, Wenren Meiqiao, your ideological awareness has really increased, but don't forget, I'm not your subordinate."

That proud back and playful smile made the female officers sparkle with admiration.

"So handsome!"
