On the outskirts of University City, Li Village, at the ventilation duct of the Constant Temperature Storage.

One by one, little bats entered the chilling underground Constant Temperature Storage through the ventilation duct.

Soon they crowded together and transformed into human form.

Cough cough!

The man, pallid in complexion, leaned against the wall of the Constant Temperature Storage, coughing violently.

When he removed his hand from his mouth and nose, he saw the pale green blood in his hand.

His gaze became unusually cold.

"Impossible! That woman must be deceiving me! Shen Qiang had no reason to guess my true identity so quickly, unless his heart is as dark as mine!"

Turn on the light.

Under the bright light, inside the Constant Temperature Storage filled with circulating chilly air.

Dozens of naked female corpses, each of different appearance yet all with eyes full of bliss and coquetry, stood under the light like a garden of beautiful frozen statues.

Cough cough!

The man, coughing up blood again, was full of doubts.

"I possess the robust lineage of vampire nobility; it's impossible for me to be sick. That woman is strong, but not strong enough to leave me utterly defenseless, yet suddenly I fall ill!"

"Is it tuberculosis?"

"How could this be possible, how could I become so weak?"

Cough cough!

After coughing, the man stood up and looked tenderly at the naked, diverse forms of the beautiful female corpses, a smile appearing on his lips as he said, "Don't worry, I will be fine, even if it's tuberculosis, it's not an incurable disease."

"Soon, I will be sending Shen Qiang's women here to join you."

"Would you like them to be your servants?" the man smiled and said, "I think, a man who dares to call himself the King of Demons must have decent taste in women. It wouldn't be too bad for them to serve you."

The man's gaze suddenly turned cold, and then he sighed, "But I am sick, until I cure myself, I have no way to fight them, so, consider it Shen Qiang's good luck, I need some time to recover."

"Once I've healed my body, I will surely make him realize what it is to be dominated by the fear of the noble Blood Clan!"

"Merely Huaxia, the so-called King of Demons, the cultivators, they are nothing but foolish pigs in front of someone of pure and noble bloodline like me!"

Whoosh!

As he was speaking to himself, he suddenly heard a strange sound eerily.

It sounded like someone opening a chain.

"Who is it!"

He suddenly spoke out.

Then, amid the creaking of the opening door, he was shocked to see the door of the Constant Temperature Storage open.

A young man dressed in a high-quality and tasteful outfit smiled as he walked in.

"Shen Qiang!" the man's face changed drastically.

Almost simultaneously, the smiling Shen Qiang, looking surprised at the dozens of female corpses in the Constant Temperature Storage, stood astonished for a long time before saying, "Their expressions are so beautiful, like exquisite artworks, those genuine emotions that emerge truly reflect them finding their real selves."

The man's eyes brightened: "Yes, I helped them find themselves, they won't be confused in this mundane world."

"You're an artist." Shen Qiang smiled, "You've captured their most beautiful moments."

The man's eyes sparkled with surprise, his voice brimming with excitement, "Though I don't acknowledge you as the so-called King of Demons, I must admit, you are highly talented in art, you really understand me, so right now, you don't seem all that despicable to me."

Shen Qiang smiled, "Beautiful things always make people want to appreciate them."

The man walked over to a seated corpse, gently wrapped his arms around her, and said to Shen Qiang, "This is Geng Zhishan, the woman I love most. Right now, I think she must like you a lot. Perhaps I misunderstood you before; maybe we can be friends."

Watching his eyes eagerly seeking approval.

Shen Qiang chuckled and looking at the seated corpse, said, "I think she must be eagerly wanting to ask me to kill you."

The man was stunned.

Almost simultaneously, Shen Qiang, with an eyebrow raised, said, "I like beautiful women, I love them. Like you, I want them to show their true feelings in front of me. But at the same time, I want them alive, enjoying everything that life brings."

"It might just be a small flower hidden in the corner, or the pain brought by sickness, or perhaps the joy of chatting with friends."

The man was stunned again. "You think they are not perfect?"

Shen Qiang looked at him coldly, "Life isn't all about joy. What do you think the true meaning of life is? Unending sweetness? Everlasting happiness? Are those all there is to life? Those who haven't suffered can't feel the satisfaction that sweetness brings."

"Those who haven't been hit by setbacks will never treasure success."

"You think you understand them, and you can possess them, but in reality, that's just your wishful thinking."

"Because you know, once they wake up from your hypnosis, they will leave you."

"Because the people they love are not you, and what they like isn't being turned into dolls by a jerk and displayed here."

The man's face turned pale and he roared, "Enough! Shut up! You don't understand, life is full of annoyances, so keeping them in the most beautiful, happiest moments, that's true happiness for them!"

"Imposing your will on others and thinking it's right, not only appears arrogant, it's also pitiable." Calmly watching the man, Shen Qiang said, "Your Chinese name was what again? Su Tong, now listen carefully, our conversation is over."

With a slight smile on his lips, Shen Qiang looked at him, "You like art, I do too, so I will capture you, set off a Heavenly Lantern, making your life as brilliant as fireworks, I promise."

Almost simultaneously.

Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing and the Eagle Demon, whom Shen Qiang had paid fifty million to join Sheng He, burst out with a terrifyingly powerful aura.

The man didn't seem afraid, instead, his eyes burned with fighting spirit; his entire body grew larger, and behind the ripping of his clothes, he spread a pair of grotesque wings.

"You cannot defeat me!"

The man roared recklessly.

A smile appeared at the corner of Shen Qiang's mouth, "Those I choose to kill, no one has ever escaped, and you, you won't be an exception."

"Dream on!"

The man roared.

But before he could finish speaking, the man suddenly began to cough violently.

Bang!

The Eagle Demon struck, with a single hit, sent him flying.

Boom!

The man, who rocked the Constant Temperature Storage with the impact, looked towards the rapidly approaching Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing and the powerful Eagle Demon.

Instantly, he transformed into countless bats, like a stream of water, burrowing into the ventilation duct of the Constant Temperature Storage.

"I will come back, and when I do, it will be your death hour!"

Listening to the echoing fierce roar in the Constant Temperature Storage, Shen Qiang sighed as he looked at the gorgeous corpses, calmly said, "Sorry, before you can complete that brilliant fireworks performance, you can't go anywhere."
