Fury Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1792 - 1795: Setting Out—Athena's Divine Corpse Is Mine

Looking at the charming and sexy Zise with a smile, Shen Qiang frowned and said, "I'm a bit surprised. You're smiling and asking me to help you kill someone? Do you realize that I'm a Security Advisor of the Dragon Group? In more colloquial terms, I'm equivalent to an advisor of the Public Security Bureau in the cultivation world. You're asking me to help you kill someone?"Zise gave a coquettish smile, slightly turned her body, and sat on the desk in front of Shen Qiang. Her tightly worn pants made her long and well-proportioned legs look like they were about to burst out of them.

"I know you're a man of principles!" With a playful arch of her delicate eyebrows, Zise smiled and said, "But please, trust me, I wouldn't ask you to kill an innocent person, because he's a bastard who killed his wife and abandoned his child. By helping me kill him, you'd be acting on behalf of justice."

Shen Qiang laughed, leaned back in his chair, looked at her for a long time, and said, "Is it the case of the group? The Blue Leader should have informed me."

Zise sighed slightly, then said, "It's not a case of the group, but I need your help."

"I have three exceptions for my help: I don't help those of extreme evil, I don't help those who don't trust me, and I don't help those who make me unhappy," Shen Qiang smiled as he looked at Zise and said, "Similarly, killing without knowing right from wrong is something Bounty Hunters do, and I am the King of Demons."

Zise was silent for a moment, then raised her eyebrows and said, "So you mean, if I can provide evidence proving that person is guilty, you would help me kill him?"

"Perhaps," Shen Qiang hesitated and said, "depending on my mood. Also, I hope the evidence you show me is not fabricated by you, because I'm cautious by nature. After all, I know that once life ends, it cannot be restored."

After hesitating for a moment, Zise collected her smile and solemnly said, "Alright, before you take action, I will provide the evidence to you."

With that, she got up and walked out.

Looking at her graceful back, Shen Qiang asked in surprise, "Where are you going? We're not done talking yet."

"Of course, I'm going to prepare for the Pill Conference."

With that, she walked away without looking back.

This made Shen Qiang, who was sitting in the chair, frown slightly. At that moment, Jinchan flew out and said to Shen Qiang, "Master, Sister Zise is really scary, talking about killing with a smile."

Shen Qiang was silent for a moment, then said, "The more tense the situation, the more you should smile, because a smile is the best disguise. So this doesn't prove anything. On the contrary, I'm more interested in the person she wants to kill."

Jinchan was startled, then asked, "Master, are you going to help her kill someone?"

Shen Qiang shook his head slightly and said, "It's strange, Zise should know that the fewer people who know about something, the safer it is. With her Dao Fruit Stage's strength, if she really fought, her combat power wouldn't be much worse than mine. If she wanted to kill someone, wouldn't it be more convenient for her to find an opportunity to do it herself?"

Jinchan was startled and said, "Maybe she can't kill him?"

Shen Qiang said uncertainly, "Then shouldn't she find other members from the Illusion Demolition Group?"

Jinchan frowned, hesitated for a moment, then said, "Maybe she trusts you more, Master."

Shen Qiang sneered, leaned back in the chair calmly, and said thoughtfully, "Rather than saying she trusts me, it's more like she thinks that, as the King of Demons, it's more reliable for me to do bad things."

Jinchan was dazed, Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Don't think too much about it. Anyway, I won't act unless there's evidence. If she has real proof and there's a wicked person hiding among cultivators, I don't mind swinging the knife to send him off. But if she's trying to use me for some purpose, well, in my eyes, enemies are enemies regardless of gender."

In the following days, everything went peacefully. Besides making some adjustments to the candidates accompanying Shen Qiang to the Pill Conference based on Heshenghe's situation, there was basically nothing else, because everyone in Heshenghe was doing their job, and Shen Qiang was the most leisurely among them.

During these days, Shen Qiang, known as the Divine Doctor who can heal but can't act, had also gained some fame.

Most people treated this as a joke or jest.

But some celebrities took it very seriously.

There's actually scientific reasoning behind this. Generally speaking, actors must empathize with the roles they play to perform perfectly. Different personalities make it more challenging to empathize, while similar personalities make it easier. If they also have similar experiences, then the portrayal becomes extraordinarily lifelike.

This is why Song Weiyin, who couldn't portray rebellious roles before, could do so immediately after experiencing a series of unreliable whimsical actions.

Because she now understands what it's like to be capricious and rebellious, hence she's able to perform a unique charm.

The sole reason for inability to play a tough guy is never having been tough.

Thus, from a strictly psychological perspective, as long as there's patient guidance and gradual practice, precise empathy, or role immersion, can definitely be achieved.

But Shen Qiang declined all of this.

Shen Qiang had studied psychology, it was a subject he had to take during his studies. But he wasn't willing to spend all his time listening to strangers babbling because he had more important things to attend to, like the Elixir Pill Conference at Medicine King Valley.

Qin Yurou was waiting for Shen Qiang to make a stunning impression, Heshenghe needed development opportunities, the Great Sea Demon was waiting to see Shen Qiang's performance, Zise was hoping Shen Qiang would help with the killing, and the Thirty-two Hand Group was hoping to push Shen Qiang out of the Pill Conference.

In the blink of an eye, the day of departure arrived.

In the depths of his Sea of Consciousness, Shen Qiang looked gently at Qingxuan, who was gazing at him with expectant eyes, and softly said, "There are some things I shouldn't tell you, because I know that, as a man, I must not let down the woman I love."

Seeing the surprised look in Qingxuan's eyes, Shen Qiang smiled, took a deep breath, and said, "Athena's Divine Corpse, I will do everything I can to find her because, after serious consideration, I've realized that she is the best gift I can give you, but it requires a bit more time."

Qingxuan giggled, gazing at Shen Qiang with gratitude and said, "Qingxuan knows that Master cares about Qingxuan, and that's enough. If it's too dangerous, then forget it. This place is pretty good too. There's no rush at all, don't risk yourself for me."

Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Maybe men and women are different, but I'm clear that if I were trapped here and couldn't leave, I would feel like years are passing by each day."

Seeing Qingxuan about to speak, Shen Qiang held her hand, smiled, and said, "I know that you're worried about the pressure on me, that I might take risks for you and cause unnecessary trouble, but please rest assured. I'll be fine for you."

Hearing this, Qingxuan smiled lightly, her eyes becoming even more gentle.

At this moment, Shen Qiang heard Jinchan's voice, "Master, we need to set off."

Immediately coming back to his senses, Shen Qiang gave Qingxuan a smile that said "Trust me," then withdrew his divine thought, got up, and walked outside. When he reached downstairs, he immediately saw Uncle Gui, the old butler in a tidy butler's suit, looking distinguished.

"Boss, I will accompany you to the Pill Conference this time."
