Looking at Shen Qiang, who was patting the bed next to him, the shapely and charming Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu blushed instantly. She shot Shen Qiang a flirtatious glare, and wearing her pajamas, she coyly said, "Naughty! I'm your secretary, not your girlfriend. Keeping you company in bed isn't part of my job description."

With that, she turned and left Shen Qiang's room.

Smiling, he watched her leave.

Shen Qiang suddenly sat up. At the same time, his eyes were unusually excited as he logged into the Immortal Realm Forum on his phone. He found the blog of that female cultivator again and stared at that blurry photo of a demon with large wings, his eyes shining fearsomely.

"Perfect! Very powerful, can fly. If it can come to Heshenghe and be reliable, I can create miracles with it!"

Shen Qiang's eyes gleamed even brighter as he thought excitedly.

"Unlike Zuo Lianghao, who only knows how to use the Sword Array, my strength lies in having the Plague Source as well. If it can carry me while flying, then my Sword Array, my poison, will have a quantum leap in deterrence."

"Furthermore, it is inherently strong. At least from the current situation, its power is not inferior to Ji Wei's, which means it is a super powerhouse itself. If it could submit to me, that would be a dream come true level of strength!"

Shen Qiang's eyes grew even brighter.

But after a moment, Shen Qiang sighed, lay down again, feeling clear-headed.

"This demon is formidable. Whether as a partner or a mount, it could greatly improve my abilities. However, Oasis is now a focal point for the entire Cultivation World, and demon killings are a priority. In this situation, if Heshenghe gets involved, it will definitely attract trouble."

"Because those cultivators who have lost loved ones to the demon will put the blame on Heshenghe... Forget it, rather let my fellow Daoist die instead of me. Just watch how things develop."

...

At nine-thirty in the morning.

Shen Qiang, having packed everything up, took Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing and Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu, and got into Ji Wei's luxurious business car, heading straight for Dinghao Hotel.

For interviews with monsters who have been waiting for over forty days.

And at the same time Shen Qiang started the interviews.

In Shanghai.

In the hall of the Dragon Group's Demon Safety Taming Department.

A long-haired mixed-race beauty head sits in the main seat in the hall, while the young girl next to her anxiously says, "Head, Captain Green Scorpion has already sent three official letters to us, asking us to help him deal with that guy in the Oasis."

The extraordinarily beautiful mixed-race beauty head smiles charmingly, "Ignore him."

Upon hearing this, the twin-tailed girl becomes anxious, "Head, how can you ignore it? There were already sixty-three cultivators who died there last night..."

"They weren't killed by a demon, but by their own greed." The extraordinarily beautiful mixed-race beauty head says, "It's been three hundred years, and that guy has never stepped out of that Oasis even once. In reality, with its ability, it will discover any human entering that Oasis instantly."

"Yet those cultivators were not attacked upon arrival but only much later when they acted recklessly under the cover of night."

Looking at the twin-tailed girl, the extraordinarily beautiful mixed-race beauty head says indifferently, "They invaded that guy's domain and definitely ignored its warnings, just for some potentially existing treasure. So to me, their death is deserved."

The twin-tailed girl says, "But Captain Green Scorpion is pushing hard."

The extraordinarily beautiful mixed-race beauty head laughs, "I only gave him the location of that guy a few days ago, and such a thing happens afterwards. There's no need to think about it; either he's the one who posted about the Oasis Treasure or he informed others, and they exploited it."

"Now he's urging us to deal with that guy; it's simply a joke. First, I'm not his subordinate, so no matter how many times he pesters me, I don't need to heed him. Second, if he now wants me to clean up his mess, that's simply dreaming."

"After all, with our Taming Department's current capability, we can at best only protect ourselves in front of that beast. If we could solve it, the previous head of Taming Department wouldn't have died at its hands."

The twin-tailed girl is worried, "Head, then do you mean we need to seek help from the higher-ups?"

The extraordinarily beautiful mixed-race beauty head smiles, "Of course not. Whoever causes trouble bears the consequences; it's the natural order. So unless the higher-ups personally come to find me, I definitely won't go there."

The twin-tailed girl is stunned, "So your meaning is we're not going to manage it anymore?"

The extraordinarily beautiful mixed-race beauty head laughs, "Silly girl, if those cultivators don't feel despair, how could they comprehend the might of the Dragon Group? So go respond to Green Scorpion, tell him we are organizing personnel to prepare for a rescue, and ask him to be patient."

"What about the timing?" the twin-tailed girl asks blankly.

The extraordinarily beautiful mixed-race beauty head smiles charmingly, "Naturally, it's until those big shots from higher up come looking for me. So if he asks, just reply waiting for instructions from above."

"Alright!" The twin-tailed girl moves aside to reply to Green Scorpion.

Half an hour later.

After a simple interview with many demons, Shen Qiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After such a long period of delay and waiting, the demons who passed the interview and joined Heshenghe this time clearly had higher qualifications than before.

Because the stronger the demons, the less pressure the cultivators could exert on them.

So, initially when Heshenghe was founded, there were more demons watching on the sidelines.

Now that Heshenghe has initially secured its footing, the demons applying and wanting to join Heshenghe clearly have greater strength than before.

Mixed Element Realm powerful individuals, 11; Yang God Realm seventeen, Yin God Realm twenty-one, Nascent Soul Stage twenty-nine—a total of seventy-eight demons joining them—Heshenghe's strength has already surpassed before.

This made Shen Qiang delighted.

After simply instructing Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing to be in charge of their matters, Shen Qiang left the top floor conference room with Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu.

He immediately saw Green Scorpion, tall and handsome, with a stern face, his arms folded, leaning against the wall in the hallway.

Seeing Shen Qiang, he smiled, took off his military cap, and held it in his hand. Then he seriously said, "Shen Advisor, I know you're very busy, so I apologize for coming here to disturb you. But now there's a very powerful demon causing murder and chaos in the Oasis. If it's not quickly eradicated, many more will be killed."

"Therefore, I've already sought help from the Demon Taming Department, but their reply is to await news. As far as I know from Shen Advisor, such waiting amounts to endless delay, so I'm requesting Shen Advisor to help resolve this issue."
