In the late morning of the next day, as the winter sun illuminated the curtains, Shen Qiang ended his cultivation. Holding the alluring and charming Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing, her face was blushing, and her eyes were as enchanting as a pool of spring water. The dimples in her cheeks were filled with endless satisfaction.

Seven long, white tails swayed, revealing her long, snow-white legs that put frost to shame.

From Shen Qiang's angle, he could see her delicate and graceful arches, with toes as white as budding spring onions, and the lightly pink nails made them look even more tender and lovely.

Smelling the faint fragrance of her body and gazing at her delicate and gorgeous face, Shen Qiang couldn't help but tighten his embrace around her slender waist.

But just then, the phone on the bedside table started vibrating.

Shen Qiang instinctively frowned. At this moment, the charming Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing, with a flick of her long tail, wrapped the phone from the bedside table and brought it to Shen Qiang, then mischievously kissed him and said, "Get up, the sun is high already."

With that, not caring what Shen Qiang thought, she charmingly got up, her perfect figure moving into the bathroom outside the bedroom, accentuated by her seven long tails.

Shen Qiang could only helplessly glance at the phone; it was from an unknown number.

Shen Qiang answered the call, and from the other end came the anxious voice of a man.

"Is this Security Advisor Shen Qiang?"

Shen Qiang was slightly surprised and said, "Yes, it's me. Who is this?"

Hearing Shen Qiang's response, the man hurriedly said, "Hello Shen Qiang, I'm an assistant at the Dragon Group's Provincial City Security Center. The situation is quite complicated now, so I'll be brief. Our Dragon Group personnel went to Doushi Temple yesterday to retrieve some of Shi Shengyi's private belongings and the sandalwood as evidence. But the people at Doushi Temple refused to hand them over, and they are now in a standoff with our Dragon Group members."

This made Shen Qiang frown and ask urgently, "Where is Qian Shanxue? Didn't she go there yesterday?"

The guy on the other end of the phone said anxiously, "Yes, Colonel Qian Shanxue did go there yesterday, but still no results. The standoff has continued until now; both sides are nearing their breaking point. The situation is critical, and Dragon Group reinforcements can't arrive in time, so we're hoping you can intervene. No matter what, please stop them from fighting."

Shen Qiang frowned.

The man, not receiving an immediate response from Shen Qiang, urged anxiously, "Advisor Shen Qiang, we have already sent you a formal request for assistance. Please, for the sake of..."

"You don't need to say anything else. I'll go."

With that, Shen Qiang hung up the phone, got up to dress, brush his teeth, wash his face, and got ready to leave. Surprisingly, Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing was still in the shower.

Hearing her cheerful humming along with the sound of water in the bathroom, Shen Qiang decided not to disturb her.

After all, it was rare for her to be in such a good mood.

Downstairs, Shen Qiang called Ji Wei to prepare the car, informed Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu, who was already at the company, to wait on the way, and then, after loading several large bundles of prepared Dahe Luojianan Fragrance in the side room, he got into the car, picked up Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu on a detour, and headed straight to Doushi Temple.

The car sped down the road.

Shen Qiang's mind was remarkably clear.

As an old monk, Shi Shengyi's private belongings, besides the kasaya, Zen stick, alms bowl, and scriptures, would also include the sandalwood made through killing.

These items, apart from his sandalwood, held no value that Shen Qiang could think of.

And even as evidence, just those incense sticks would suffice.

Therefore, Shen Qiang couldn't imagine Qian Shanxue would stubbornly demand other items, so the continued standoff must revolve around those incense sticks.

Shi Shengyi is dead; Doushi Temple's monks probably refused to part with those incense sticks. If Shen Qiang's Dahe Luojianan Fragrance could surpass Shi Shengyi's incense, they might agree to exchange.

If so, everyone could resolve the issue without fighting, which would be the best outcome.

If not, Shen Qiang would have to unleash the Plague Source. Let them suffer from thermophilic streptococcus, pneumonia, tuberculosis; anyway, make them all sick, and then they'll behave, and we'll treat them slowly.

With a clear mind.

Shen Qiang drove all the way to Doushi Temple.

Upon arrival, he saw Ye Xiaolei, Ali, and Qian Shanxue standing outside Doushi Temple's mountain gate. Not only that, there were dozens of Dragon Group members standing beside them.

On the other side, Doushi Temple's gate was tightly closed.

But the imposing presence of dozens of powerhouses was conspicuous, leaving Shen Qiang astonished. He approached and asked, "Didn't you enter the temple before? How were you driven out?"

Upon hearing these words, Qian Shanxue shot a cold glance at a tall, muscular middle-aged man about ten meters away from her and said, "He messed it up."

Shen Qiang couldn't help but cast a glance at that person.

Just then, Ye Xiaolei cutely clung to Shen Qiang's arm and said coquettishly, "Yes, we stayed here all night last night."

Shen Qiang smiled, held her slightly cold little hand, and said, "Silly girl, what's the use of standing here? Why not just negotiate."

Upon hearing this, the tall middle-aged man snorted coldly, "It's easy for anyone to talk big. These monks are a bunch of tricky monks. I have already spoken to them in every nice way, but they remain ungrateful and refuse to hand over the evidence against Shi Shengyi."

His gaze somewhat displeased, he looked at Shen Qiang, who was surrounded by the three ladies and said coldly, "Besides, Shen Qiang, as the Dragon Group's Security Advisor, this is your area of influence. Where are your people?"

"Why didn't you bring all the demons from Heshenghe to attack them? Didn't you see the official document I sent you?"

Upon hearing these words, Shen Qiang coldly raised an eyebrow and looked at the tall middle-aged man, "Mind your tone when you speak to me."

As soon as the middle-aged man heard this, he reacted like a lit powder keg.

"If you want me to speak respectfully to you, first, you need to earn that right! My official document clearly stated for you to bring people to help fight Doushi Temple, not to come here and watch the fun. With your slacker attitude, do you think you can solve the problem? Get out of my way."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang smiled, stepped forward in front of the middle-aged man, and calmly said, "You're the one who messaged Ye Xiaolei, telling her to sleep early, right?"

"So what if it was me?" The middle-aged man replied coldly.

Shen Qiang smiled, leaned close, lowered his voice, and said, "Well, listen to me. If you ever dare to send messages harassing Ye Xiaolei, Ali, or Qian Shanxue again, I'll break your thigh and stick it up your ass."

"You..." The middle-aged man glared.

Ji Wei suddenly appeared behind him, his fingertip nails sharp as steel knives, lightly pressed against his artery.

Seeing him go silent, Shen Qiang chuckled and straightened up.

Then looked proudly at the mountain gate of Doushi Temple.

At this point, Ji Wei released the middle-aged man.

Having narrowly escaped danger, he shouted, "Shen Qiang, I'll admit you're fierce, but besides threatening good people, what else can you do? If you have the guts, open Doushi Temple's gate, go in and resolve the issue, and I'll admit Shen Qiang's skills. If you can't, you're no different from those scoundrels who only know how to bully the kind-hearted."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang laughed, "Enough of your crap! I, the esteemed Family Head of Heshenghe, calling to open the gate and pay a visit, is beneath my dignity."

With that, Shen Qiang casually pulled out a few sticks of incense from his Storage Ring, lit them, and inserted them into the ground in front of him, then arrogantly said, "So I will make them open the gate themselves and invite me in."
