The next morning, when the winter sun rose and turned the frost on the window into mist, Shen Qiang finally opened his eyes.

Jing Xiangwei, who was nestled in Shen Qiang's arms and fiddling with her phone, immediately felt shy and overjoyed when she saw Shen Qiang awake. She said, "Lazybones, you're finally awake?"

Smelling the faint fragrance of roses in the room, Shen Qiang couldn't help but tighten his arms around the bashful Jing Xiangwei, whose eyes were filled with satisfaction and happiness as she looked at him. He smiled and said, "Hmm, the emperor is awake. How did my beloved consort sleep last night?"

Jing Xiangwei's face turned red instantly, and she coquettishly replied, "Not bad, except the emperor's family discipline was too intense, a bit too much for me to handle."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang laughed and raised an eyebrow. "Are you provoking your emperor?"

Jing Xiangwei froze, sensing Shen Qiang's eagerness stirring beneath her. She quickly brought her phone to Shen Qiang and said anxiously, "Forgive me, Xiangwei knows she was wrong. Quickly, look at the forum, look at the forum!"

Feeling a bit bored, Shen Qiang propped up his pillow, leaned against it, and casually took the phone. "What's there to see?"

Jing Xiangwei's alluring body leaned forward, revealing her good figure. She then snuggled up to Shen Qiang's side, wrapped her arms around his waist, and proudly said, "Of course, there's something to see. The cultivators on the forum come from various sects. Even though most of them are just in charge of gathering information about the Cultivation World, you can gauge from their reactions and attitudes how the Cultivation World views you."

Shen Qiang smiled helplessly. "I don't actually care what they say or think about me."

Raising her head, Jing Xiangwei's beautiful eyes sparkled as she said playfully, "But I care, especially now that you're a big deal in the Cultivation World. Come on, take a look, so many people are envious of you."

Shen Qiang, feeling helpless, opened the forum and was immediately stunned. The hottest post at the top was titled "The Ultimate Guide to Bumping into Shen Qiang!"

What the heck is this?

Shen Qiang casually clicked on the post.

The tone of the poster was clearly a woman.

In the post, she half-jokingly wrote many ways to encounter Shen Qiang.

Including things like pretending to be a patient seeking a diagnosis.

Waiting in front of Heshenghe Company.

Lingering outside the Datong River Restaurant.

Applying to join Heshenghe.

The last strategy was even to break into Heshenghe Mountain Villa, a clearly reckless move.

Logically, such an obviously unrealistic, fantasy-filled post by a young girl shouldn't attract much attention.

But when he looked at the replies, Shen Qiang almost burst out laughing.

"Wow, Shen Qiang is so handsome and amazing. From an ordinary loose cultivator to creating Heshenghe in just over half a year, I really want to submit to such a strong person."

"Shen Qiang is really too cool! Yesterday my dad came back and said that Shen Qiang is definitely a ruler-level figure!"

"Tsk, you're talking nonsense, you haven't even seen Shen Qiang. Yesterday, my uncle returned from Heshenghe Mountain Villa and told us to dress up nicely. He even said he would hire the best photographer to take the most beautiful photos for a marriage proposal."

"Hehe, I'm so pretty, but I didn't dare to compete. You ordinary girls can forget it, no chance."

"Right, Shen Qiang is my husband, all of you get lost!"

"Ha? The person above is shameless. The women around Shen Qiang are all stunningly beautiful, which one is you?"

"Stop arguing! Shen Qiang has been claimed by me already!"

"Hehe, seeing you all being so irrational reassures me that I'm not sick. Shen Qiang, this girl loves you!"

"You guys are unreliable, clearly never met Shen Qiang. Let me tell you, Shen Qiang is cold-blooded and won't blink when killing. He's definitely your nightmare, so if you're looking for a Daoist couple, someone like me, a gentle and refined man, is your ideal choice."

"Sissy, get lost!"

"Lalala, I just like Shen Qiang! He's really too handsome, rich, and the King of Demons, even better at alchemy. Wow, being with him would be skyrocketing to the top!"

"Gosh, materialistic women! So disgusting!"

"--凸! What's wrong with being materialistic? Anyway, if I'm looking for a man, he should be handsome, rich, and powerful. Shen Qiang meets all those criteria!"

"Ah... I can almost feel Shen Qiang's domineering arms wrapping around me."

"The person above, please let go of your double swallows."

"Shen Qiang is now the standard domineering chairman, much cooler than any pretty CEO."

"Shen Qiang's short videos, 500 in total, 2 Yuan each. Private photos, 3,000 in total, the whole set only for 1,500. PM me if interested."

"Added!"

"I want it!"

"Added!"

"Money transferred, send videos quickly."

At this point, Shen Qiang was dumbfounded. What the hell is this?

Treating me as some bedroom entertainer?

While Shen Qiang was in shock, Jing Xiangwei took a picture of Shen Qiang with another phone she was holding and immediately posted it. Shen Qiang saw it and was completely stunned.

"Here it is, the private photo you asked for!" Jing Xiangwei posted.

In less than five seconds.

The replies flooded in under Jing Xiangwei's post.

"The person above, you're awesome! Please provide the whole set!"

"Money is not an issue. How many photos do you have? I'll take them all. PM me quickly!"

"Oooh, those muscles are so strong. I'm going to lick the screen!"

Shen Qiang, looking at Jing Xiangwei with a dumbfounded and incriminating expression, asked, "What are you doing?"

Jing Xiangwei's eyes curved with laughter as she flirtatiously replied, "Of course, I'm showing off, sprinkling dog food for them. I have such an excellent boyfriend that they don't. Hehe, aren't they longing for you? Then I'll let them see but not have you, while I get to be by your side. This feeling is really awesome!"

Shen Qiang felt helpless and, flipping over, pinned her down on the bed. "Why don't you do a live stream? Right now, let them see how you devour me."

Jing Xiangwei's face instantly turned red, and she whined, "No way! I just wanted to show off a bit. If you're not happy about it, I won't post next time."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang sighed.

He closed the encounter post.

Immediately, he noticed a post right after this group of crazy girls' posts.

"Challenge Medicine King Valley? Shen Qiang is not qualified yet!"

Seeing this post made Shen Qiang inexplicably annoyed because, even through the screen, he could sense the poster's intention to provoke conflict between Medicine King Valley and Heshenghe.

He opened the post, and sure enough.

The poster was blatantly making things up, claiming that Shen Qiang boasted about his medical skills and said his elixir pills were incredibly powerful. The post ended with the claim that Shen Qiang said his elixir pills were ten thousand times better than Medicine King Valley's.

Seeing such disgusting rumors, Shen Qiang instinctively typed on his phone: "When did I ever say such a thing?"

But before he could send the message.

He saw a verified Medicine King Valley account replying to the post: "Medicine King Valley has stood proudly in the Cultivation World for thousands of years. The position of Pill Sect Master is unshakable. Shen Qiang is just an ignorant junior, where does he get the qualification to compare himself to Medicine King Valley?"
