Chapter 1721 - 1724: The Untouchable Corpses of the Gods
At the moment Shen Qiang spoke, Jinli Qianning's beautiful eyes turned frosty, and she sternly said, "You wouldn't dare. I'm the Sea Demon King's most beloved daughter, and angering him would lead to the destruction of you and your Heshenghe completely."Enjoying the night breeze, Shen Qiang laughed, "If I hurt you or killed you, then indeed the Great Sea Demon might come at me desperately. But if I merely ruin your gray business on the fringes, he won't blame me. On the contrary, he might thank me because at least he won't need to worry about this matter anymore and won't feel embarrassed by your little business."
"You're talking nonsense!" Jinli Qianning, wearing tight black leather pants, shouted angrily.
Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow calmly and said, "You know whether what I'm saying is nonsense or not. As the Great Sea Demon who is wealthy enough to rival nations and has sunk countless ships, he can certainly pay for your living expenses. So now you're relying on nightclubs to make a living, there are only two possibilities: one is that he doesn't like you, even hates you, so he decides not to give you even a penny."
"But clearly, if that were the case, you wouldn't claim to be his most beloved daughter. Because although you've picked up some bad habits and tell lies all the time, you wouldn't go so far as to use such a matter for boasting."
"So there's another possibility, which is that you're very headstrong and think you really understand life and this world, believing that without his help you can also live well. So you made a nightclub here that looks upscale and high-class but is actually a messy and nasty place. Fooling yourself childishly that this is your territory, your business; you love music, this is the life you pursue."
Jinli Qianning, her pretty face icy, sternly said, "Shen Qiang, don't push me too far."
"It's the truth." Shen Qiang calmly raised an eyebrow and said, "Have you considered what future your nightclub might have? What its best outcome could be? A holy land for musicians, or a gathering place for hostesses with everyone carrying a box of Durex in their bags?"
"Get out right now!" Jinli Qianning shouted angrily, "Don't force me to kill you."
"Firstly, you can't kill me. Secondly, being a smart person, you should know that the simplest and most effective way to deal with annoying people is not to scream at them, but rather to give them what they want."
Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow with a smile and said, "So I'll give you three minutes to adjust your emotions, and then we'll talk."
Jinli Qianning angrily said, "Shameless, you're a scoundrel."
Shen Qiang laughed, speaking very calmly, "The last time I came here, I seriously intended to seek your help, but all you did was act superior and sneer at me, mocking that I wasn't qualified. The second time, my beloved woman came to you behind my back and you gave her a perfunctory and insincere response."
"We both sincerely hope to sit down and talk with you, but you keep avoiding our questions, so I know that even if I begged you here, it would be useless; you would just become more arrogant."
"So following human customs and to honor my ancestors, this time I decided not to be polite with you anymore, and that's why I brought a wolf fang club."
Slightly turning sideways, with his elbow pressed against the railing, Shen Qiang smiled at Jinli Qianning and said, "If you refuse to talk to me, I'll smash your shop first. If you still won't talk to me, I'll break your legs."
"You're threatening me?" Jinli Qianning's beautiful eyes glared fiercely, True Yuan swirling around her graceful figure. Shen Qiang could clearly feel the water molecules in the air shifting, just like Qianning's troubled mood.
Shen Qiang smiled, "You might think so, but I won't admit it. Moreover, I can't deny that this is the most disgusting and annoying scoundrel approach. However, it is often the most effective. Like holding the emperor to command the princes, now I'm holding your shop. Ask yourself, will you talk, or not?"
Watching Jinli Qianning whose chest was heaving with anger, Shen Qiang said, "Of course, if you think that as the King of Demons, I'm just bluffing without the real courage to take action, then I don't mind proving my ability and determination to you."
Seeing Shen Qiang raising an eyebrow with a confident sneer, as if he had her figured out, Jinli Qianning suppressed her anger and after a long silence said angrily, "I've never seen someone as shameless as you. What do you want to talk about? Speak, and then get out. You're not allowed to come here again."
Shen Qiang smiled, unperturbed, and said, "I want to know two things. The first is how I can meet the Great Sea Demon, and the second is just how strong is the Sea Emperor Clan."
"My father won't meet clowns like you," Jinli Qianning said angrily.
Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow, "You're really a mischievous girl. Do you have to wait until I close your shop to confirm our relationship? Also, I remind you not to underestimate anyone. Your father might be strong in the sea, but if he wants to remain strong, then he must at least have a reliable ally on land."
Qianning's beautiful eyes scornfully glanced at Shen Qiang.
Catching that moment, Shen Qiang smiled, "Oh, you already have an ally, no wonder you're so arrogant. But believe me, few cultivators will genuinely pledge allegiance to a demon. My Heshenghe is your dad's best choice."
Upon hearing this, Qianning hesitated for a bit and said, "Jin City, Yong'an Ocean Transport Company, find someone named Sha Yongzhen, he will pass your message to my father. As for whether he will see you or not, I can't say."
Shen Qiang laughed, "Indeed, the scoundrel approach is more effective. Now tell me about the Sea Emperor Clan."
Upon hearing this, Qianning's beautiful eyes seriously looked at Shen Qiang and said, "He is half-god and half-demon, similar to my father. They are formidable, with hundreds of powerful Sea Demons guarding the divine corpse left behind by the gods after the ancient Divine Battle."
"So if you wish to obtain the divine corpse, you must defeat the Sea Emperor Clan. My father's power cannot be used to help you; he wouldn't fight another bloody Divine Battle for such small benefits you offer. So give up, Shen Qiang."
"You cannot get the divine corpse, because even though you bear the title of King of Demons, you are merely a mortal at the end of the day, and that realm is forever beyond your reach."
With that, the long and slender legs of the charming Qianning turned, and she returned to the nightclub.
Looking at the back door that closed with a bang, Shen Qiang furrowed his brows, remained silent for a while, then turned and walked out of the alley straight to the parking lot. Just as he reached his car, an agitated woman walked over, full of energy, and not only bumped into Shen Qiang, but also fell with a thump, sitting on the ground in front of him.
