Chapter 1604 - 1607: The True Motive Behind the Admiration of Beautiful Women
Chapter 1604 - 1607: The True Motive Behind the Admiration of Beautiful Women
Shen Qiang smiled, crossed his legs, and gently dusted off his immaculate pant leg. Then he looked at the girl sitting by the windowsill, her fair ankle adorned with a delicate ankle chain, a black crow perched on her shoulder, and said with a calm smile, "Then, when those helpers arrive here and drive away all the cultivators who are a threat to Xiang Qianmeng, if you were him, what would you do?"Watching Shen Qiang smile happily.
The man beside him looked baffled, "What else could he do? Just do what he has to do."
Shen Qiang smiled, giving him a look like one would at a goldfish in a tank, without saying a word. Meanwhile, the leader of the Illusion Demolition Group, was suddenly shocked, exclaiming, "Revenge, Xiang Qianmeng will retaliate against you!"
Hearing this, the smiling Shen Qiang looked at the leader of the Illusion Demolition Group and showed an approving gaze, "Oh, it seems that my dear leader and I still have a lot in common."
At this moment, the silver bell on the delicate ankle chain at the fair ankle lightly jingled.
The girl sitting on the windowsill, petite in stature and still wearing a mask she refused to remove, said in a sweet voice, puzzled, "Vice leader, don't speak in riddles; I don't understand."
Shen Qiang smiled slightly, then raised his eyebrows calmly and said, "People have a natural inclination for revenge, especially after experiencing fear and harm."
"Stop with the cryptic talk!" exclaimed a man beside him. "Are you a street fortune teller? What you're doing will throw the Cultivation World into chaos, and I completely don't believe in your nonsense."
Shen Qiang smiled without a word, glancing at the leader of the Illusion Demolition Group beside him, full of a look that said, you think so too?
Instantly understanding the meaning in Shen Qiang's eyes, the leader of the Illusion Demolition Group sighed, "Quiet, in fact, I almost understand what exactly Shen Qiang is trying to do."
Looking sideways at Shen Qiang, the leader of the Illusion Demolition Group sighed, "So I'm very sure, Shen Qiang, you truly are a very smart bastard."
After saying this, the leader of the Illusion Demolition Group stated calmly, "The desire for revenge has always existed as a self-defensive protection mechanism in humans. It's like a coin with two sides; the front side is gratitude, and the back side is revenge."
"And this mentality exists in everyone. It's just that in the vast majority of cases, our rational mind, due to uncontrollable external factors, causes us to abandon revenge."
"Once those uncontrollable external factors disappear, once the restraints are gone, then anyone will be unable to suppress their inner desire for revenge and may act in nearly irrational ways."
The girl sitting on the windowsill shook her head in confusion, "I still don't understand."
The leader of the Illusion Demolition Group sighed helplessly and asked Shen Qiang beside him, "What did you leave for him?"
"I know you sold those girls to various places," Shen Qiang raised his eyebrows.
The leader of the Illusion Demolition Group laughed, "Shen Qiang, you are a bastard who manipulates people, but at the same time, you are a good person. After seeing your message, when those powerful helpers arrive and drive out the cultivators who threaten him, he will, in a very short amount of time, sell the girls he intended to sell just to retaliate against you."
"I still don't understand, isn't the best way to retaliate against Shen Qiang to kill him?" the girl sitting on the windowsill interjected.
The leader of the Illusion Demolition Group frowned and replied, "No, because he knows Shen Qiang came to kill him for those girls. So, making Shen Qiang watch him continue doing wrong without being able to do anything about it, is Xiang Qianmeng's best revenge."
"Because this means Shen Qiang has no way to resist his power, he can only watch helplessly as the wrongdoing occurs. This would make Xiang Qianmeng far more satisfied than killing Shen Qiang, making him feel more confident and accomplished."
Looking at the shocked crowd, the leader of the Illusion Demolition Group sighed, "So, summarizing all this, Shen Qiang's true purpose isn't to drive away the bystanders, nor is it to fight me. It's to find out if there are victims under Xiang Qianmeng's control."
"He wants to save them."
Leaning back on the sofa, the leader of the Illusion Demolition Group sighed, "That is Shen Qiang's real goal, to use every means to force Xiang Qianmeng into making another transaction in a short time, using this as an opportunity to figure out if there are other victims still under his control."
At the moment these words were spoken, everyone in the room had a glimmer in their eyes.
The girl sitting on the windowsill, still wearing her mask, looked at Shen Qiang in excitement and astonishment, her heart trembling.
"Compared to completing the hunt and proving his worth in staying with the Illusion Demolition Group, Shen Qiang actually cares more about the safety of ordinary strangers? As expected, the patriarch's words come true once again: a demon's body, a Bodhisattva's heart. This Shen Qiang must be the one the patriarch said is destined to be my man."
Suddenly overcome with shyness, the girl's delicate body trembled, the silver bell on the delicate ankle chain emitting a clear ringing sound beyond her control.
At the same time, the several people beside the leader of the Illusion Demolition Group were even more shaken.
Especially the voluptuous, sensual female restaurant manager with a body fit for a battle tank. Her eyes shone with a different light as she gazed at Shen Qiang in astonishment, murmuring, "Everything was just to confirm there were no other victims. He truly is a man with a sense of duty!"
"Truly unexpected, that the King of Demons, known for his cunning and ruthless ways in the Cultivation World, is actually a kind-hearted guy, it's really surprising." The previously somewhat irritable man looked at Shen Qiang, showing an inexplicable smile, "So now I must admit, you're not that much of an unlikeable bastard."
Another middle-aged man chuckled as well, "Interesting, I always thought you just wanted to compete with the group leader to prove you were better, but I never expected that beneath your wild exterior, there was a kind heart hidden, so I acknowledge you. Even if your cultivation is only at the Yang God Realm, I still feel you qualify to stay in the Illusion Demolition Group."
Upon hearing this, the big swordsman laughed, revealing his back teeth with pride, saying, "Tch, not having lived in the Heshenghe, you'll never know how great my boss is!"
This didn't just make the beautiful eyes of the girl sitting on the windowsill light up, it also made the sexy restaurant manager, who was nearly bursting out of her clothes, seem thoughtful. But just as the two of them looked at Shen Qiang with bright eyes, they were astonished to see Shen Qiang, smiling, firmly staring at the black crow on the girl's shoulder, and said.
"Tsk tsk, a demon over five thousand years old, really rare. Are you sure you don't want to come to Heshenghe?"
