By the time he returned home from the company, it had already grown dark.

At 8:30 in the evening, Shen Qiang had Bianyi arrange a car and personally took Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing, the Golden Cicada, and Xiu Ju to the airport.

The Sect Leader of the Happiness Sect, Fubo, and the Black Bear Spirit, Xiong Zhenghui, three great demons had arrived.

They excused themselves by saying they missed Chu Qing and came to visit for a few days.

But whether it was Shen Qiang or Bianyi, even Xiu Ju was well aware that their visit was not just to see Chu Qing. They had heard the news of Shen's Holdings going to war with Long Yan Sword Sect and were concerned about the safety of Shen Qiang, Chu Qing, and others. That was why they had come.

They didn't speak of it, simply to avoid burdening Shen Qiang's mind.

However, when picking them up at the airport, the awkward part was that:

Actually, when they brought Chu Qing here from Shanghai, the several great demons from the Happiness Sect completely had the mindset of marrying off a daughter.

It was okay for Fubo, and Black Bear Spirit on his side, but it became problematic with how to address the Sect Leader of the Happiness Sect.

Calling her auntie was obviously not right,

And calling her mother-in-law was something to say when introducing her to strangers.

So, after holding back for a long time, Shen Qiang followed Chu Qing in calling the Sect Leader of Happiness Sect "mother."

As soon as these two words were uttered,

not only was the Sect Leader of the Happiness Sect very satisfied, but Fubo and Black Bear Spirit were also overjoyed.

Only Shen Qiang felt extremely awkward.

However, fortunately, Chu Qing had brought the Golden Cicada along.

As soon as the little one showed up, the Sect Leader of the Happiness Sect, Fubo, and the Black Bear Spirit's eyes lit up.

"What a beautiful little one."

"Its cultivation isn't bad either. Although it's not as good as Chu Qing, it's still strong."

"Yeah, such a cute little one. With this level of cultivation, it can go anywhere in this vast world without encountering a super powerful being."

Hearing their three assessments of the Golden Cicada,

Shen Qiang was slightly astonished.

In fact, the Golden Cicada was initially a little girl who had been refined into a Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada using evil spells over three hundred years and then evolved once in the Plague Source and another time during the cultivation of Daluo Heaven Transformation Heart Sutra.

Logically speaking, the current Golden Cicada indeed should be strong.

Because the Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada itself is impervious to fire and water, and is very powerful, common Cultivators around the Nascent Soul Stage, upon meeting a Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada, would mostly face death; with two evolutions, the Golden Cicada should, in principle, be capable of rivaling the beings of the Yang God Realm, or even the Mixed Element Realm.

However, before this, Shen Qiang had always kept her at home to help take care of the plantation and clean.

So, he really didn't know her true strength.

And even because of her appearance,

Shen Qiang's subconscious always regarded her as a cute little girl who needed protection.

But suddenly hearing the words of the three people from the Happiness Sect, Shen Qiang suddenly realized that he might have overlooked a powerful being beside him.

The three from the Happiness Sect were very interested in the Golden Cicada,

and naturally treated the Golden Cicada as one of their own, chatting quite animatedly.

Shen Qiang originally planned to invite them all to stay at his home,

but the house was too small.

It wasn't conceivable to clear out the rooms of Su Xiaonuan and Xin Xiaoting for them.

That would be too disrespectful to them.

However, thankfully, Shen Qiang owned a hotel.

At Dinghao, after arranging the rooms,

Shen Qiang specifically called the hotel manager and informed him about the importance of these important guests,

and then went up to the Datong River restaurant on the second floor to arrange a banquet in their honor.

This was basic etiquette.

Shen Qiang certainly would not fall short.

During the meal, Fubo mentioned that the third abalone is on a boat, so he can only come over tomorrow. They planned to stay here for a while this time.

In an instant, not only did Shen Qiang feel at ease, but Bianyi also felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

Actually, in regard to the Great Demons of the Happiness Sect, Bianyi was more familiar with them than Shen Qiang was, because Bianyi often helped them go to Wanxin Hesheng, Cheng Xinyi to buy Magical Treasures, seizing the opportunity to make money, so he knew very well the strength of the Black Bear Spirit, Xiong Zhenghui.

And Shen Qiang?

Although he had never seen these Great Demons of the Happiness Sect in action.

But using his simple logic, they had roamed Huaxia for so many years; if they had no real ability, they would have been long eliminated by those upholding justice and exorcising demons.

With these four Great Demons at the helm.

Furthermore, with Chu Qing, Xiu Ju, Golden Cicada, Bianyi, and Wu Zhaoyang and Lan Yong from the fringes of the inner circle, along with Hao Deben outside the circle, and Kong Richeng, the strength of Shen's Holding was now not to be underestimated.

Although in terms of numbers, they were still fewer than those of a third-rate Cultivation Family.

But almost any individual among them was a strong contender capable of holding their own.

Not only that.

The strongest among them was, undoubtedly, Shen Qiang.

Once Shen Qiang decided to go on a killing spree.

Shen Qiang, possessing the Botulinum Toxin, was undoubtedly a disaster waiting to happen.

So now, Shen's Holding.

Seemed still few in number, still weak, but at its core, it was already beyond the reach of any third-rate family or sect.

That evening.

Chu Qing stayed at the hotel to accompany her mother.

After dinner, following a brief chat, Shen Qiang returned home with Golden Cicada and Xiu Ju.

Because at this time, the burden of Shen Qiang's training was too great, he no longer had the capability to practice Body Refinement at home.

So after a spirited and intense fight with Xiu Ju, Shen Qiang entered his Sea of Consciousness and started Dual Cultivation with Qingxuan again.

Because Shen Qiang was very clear.

As long as his strength increased fast enough.

When his body contained enough True Yuan.

Qingxuan could appear in person.

She was a True Immortal.

Even in the Central Continent of the Immortal Realm, she was a notable young powerhouse.

If she had enough True Yuan to squander, what difference would there be between her and an ant in front of a Mixed Element Realm powerhouse?

After a night of Cultivation.

The next morning.

As the coy, bashful Xiu Ju, completely naked, snuggled in Shen Qiang's embrace.

Dressed in a military uniform, the imposing Qian Shanxue suddenly appeared by the window.

Xiu Ju's eyes turned cold.

"Qian Shanxue!"

But Qian Shanxue, in her military attire, didn't even acknowledge Xiu Ju and instead looked calmly at the equally naked Shen Qiang, saying, "Come out and see me, now."

Shen Qiang said, feeling quite helpless, "I've told you countless times, please use the door next time, okay? You're invading my privacy."

Qian Shanxue calmly arched an eyebrow, glanced at Shen Qiang, and said, "You have five seconds to put on pants."

Swoosh.

Qian Shanxue retreated back to the balcony garden.

The charming Ali covered her mouth and giggled, "Shen Qiang isn't wearing pants? What's his physique like?"

Qian Shanxue's cheeks flushed slightly, yet she replied very calmly, "It's alright, his Cultivation hasn't fallen behind."

Hearing this, Ye Xiaolei, sitting quietly to the side, suddenly blushed deeply.

Qian Shanxue then gave Ali a cold eye roll, and with her cheeks still slightly red, she elegantly picked up a dough stick from the breakfast spread on the stone table with chopsticks.

Then under Ali's surprised gaze, Qian Shanxue slightly opened her lips and took a bite of the dough stick.
