Facing Ke Bizhu, who couldn't perceive the hidden risks in the Oasis Treasure no matter how much Shen Qiang explained, her voluptuous figure and beautiful appearance seemed to lose some of their charm.
However, Shen Qiang quickly ended the argument with her, as he knew it was difficult to change her ingrained thoughts.
In fact, if Shen Qiang were honest with himself, Ke Bizhu was right. If not for Shen Qiang's lucrative Elixir Pills sales, if he were broke, he too would have taken the chance and tried his luck.
A plane ticket or a train ticket for a chance to change one's fate.
Anyone would probably be willing to give it a try.
So, unless they are already as wealthy as Shen Qiang, ordinary people, even if they know it might just be a hoax, would not give up the idea of trying.
End the meaningless dispute.
Shen Qiang called Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing, briefly explained the situation, and issued a stern order.
"No demons from Heshenghe, under any circumstance, are allowed to go to that legendary treasure-laden oasis. Violators will be expelled from Heshenghe and never employed again."
This firm order startled Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing: "Shen Qiang, what's up with you? You could just say this, there's no need to threaten them with expulsion and never being employed again, right?"
Shen Qiang sighed helplessly: "Silly girl, don't you understand? The post already said there are murderous demons on the oasis. This means that cultivators going there won't care if they're Heshenghe demons or not, they'll attack on sight, got it?"
"As soon as they appear there, they won't even have a chance to explain, they will be killed."
Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing paused in silence, then said: "Then I'll just be honest with them. Anyway, I don't want those who admire you to think you're a brutal guy."
Shen Qiang replied helplessly: "Alright, I don't care how you tell them, but remember, for at least ten years, no demons from Heshenghe are to go to that oasis, even if the situation is resolved. They're not allowed to go."
"Understood." Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing replied coyly: "I'll do it, but there's another thing you can't delay any longer, which is about those demons wanting to join Heshenghe, waiting for your interview, the longest have been waiting at the Dinghao Hotel for forty days."
Shen Qiang sighed, thought for a moment, then said: "Then notify them, tomorrow at ten in the morning, I'll go to meet them."
"Alright, that's it then."
Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing hung up the phone.
Shen Qiang put away the phone and pondered. Actually, from Shen Qiang's perspective, the desert oasis wasn't that far from the Provincial City where he was located. As a part of the Cultivation World, Shen Qiang should have sent Heshenghe's demons to investigate immediately in this situation.
But the news of murderous demons at the oasis was known by cultivators, so if demons were sent to investigate, once discovered, they would surely die.
And among Heshenghe, the only powerful cultivator capable of safely investigating was Zuo Lianghao, but he went on a honeymoon with Bianyi.
So in this situation, even though he should send someone to understand the situation, Shen Qiang could only choose to play blind and rely on observing what those cultivators said online to figure out what was happening there.
This felt very unpleasant, somewhat oppressive.
So for a moment, Shen Qiang wondered if the message about murderous demons near the treasure was specifically targeting Heshenghe.
A short post with a non-thrilling, seemingly flawed story rendered Heshenghe's demons powerless and drove many cultivators crazy, rushing in regardless of the consequences.
If this guy is targeting Heshenghe, then this person is truly terrifying!
Yet, after thinking a bit, Shen Qiang rubbed his forehead with his hand and laughed.
"It seems I've been under too much pressure lately, seeing everything as about myself. This should all be a coincidence; I wouldn't take a desolate area hundreds of kilometers away even if it were given to me for free. I'm not after Magical Treasures, so if anyone tries to use this incident against Heshenghe's demons, they won't succeed; it's just a coincidence."
He thought in his heart.
Feeling inexplicably tired, Shen Qiang, seeing that Heshenghe Group's affairs were managed orderly by Bianyi and didn't require his involvement,
Shen Qiang set off with Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu to a bun shop.
The beautiful lady, Gao Jie, was pleasantly surprised by Shen Qiang's arrival, yet somewhat puzzled: "Isn't Xiangwei with you?"
Shen Qiang smiled and said, "I'm actually here to see you."
The beautiful lady, Gao Jie, smiled with her eyes closing, then said: "Then you're in luck, I've told my sister, when she comes back for the Spring Festival, I'll introduce her to you. She's a campus belle, much prettier than me."
Shen Qiang laughed: "When we first met, you mentioned your sister. You're still mentioning her now. I'm just trying to know if you can sit down and talk about you and me."
The beautiful lady Gao Jie blushed inexplicably, then said: "Hungry? Shall I get you some buns?"
Hearing Gao Jie still changing the subject, unwilling to face him directly, Shen Qiang sighed and stood up: "No need, I just remembered I have something to do, I'll go for now, and see you again when I have time."
Saying that, Shen Qiang turned and left.
Watching Shen Qiang's figure departing, Gao Jie's eyes were incredibly complex, wanting to call out to him but hesitating.
Back at Heshenghe, Shen Qiang felt inexplicably restless.
Even he wasn't sure if it was because Gao Jie wouldn't face him seriously or because of the Oasis Treasure that caused his agitation.
Blind!
Just a few hundred kilometers away, something was happening that was captivating the cultivation world, yet Shen Qiang had no way of acquiring first-hand information.
Unless, Heshenghe's demons go collectively, or even when knowing there won't be anything, Shen Qiang foolishly goes there himself.
Otherwise, everything happening there could only be guessed.
This is a completely uncontrollable state of losing control.
Because Shen Qiang has realized that if similar things happen in the Cultivation World again, as long as they add the phrase "there are murderous demons,"
Sending Heshenghe's demons to gather information would be sending them to their deaths.
If he doesn't want to be blind, this means Heshenghe needs cultivators. Without them, even with great influence, Heshenghe won't be able to truly integrate into the Cultivation World.
And so, wrapped in guessing and anxiety about not being able to grasp the situation, Shen Qiang didn't fall asleep until past two in the morning.
And at four thirty in the morning,
the door slammed open,
A startled Shen Qiang immediately saw Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu, who burst through the door with a changed expression.
In her pajamas, her beautiful eyes stared at Shen Qiang in fright, holding a phone, and said, "Boss, you guessed right! Something big has happened!"
