Chapter 1523 - 1526: My Surroundings Are a Cultivator Forbidden Zone (5th Update)
Wenren Meiqiao, with her beautiful eyes tinged with red, was stunned, then hesitantly said, "Aren't they all saying that if you love her, you should accept everything about her? Why, when it comes to me, do I have to throw away half of my personality to accommodate him?"The female subordinate burst out laughing, "Do you really believe those toxic words meant only to be spoken? Whether it's marriage or love, it requires effort. For instance, if he dislikes women pointing fingers in front of him, but you insist on doing so, this will surely lead to separation like forcing a bull to drink water. Do you really think anyone in this world would endure forever?"
Wenren Meiqiao was taken aback, "You mean, if I like him, I have to listen to everything he says when we're together?"
The female subordinate laughed, "Not necessarily everything, but at least, at the very minimum, you should know what he hates and what you shouldn't do. For example, you both were supposed to have a good meeting, but it inexplicably fell apart, which just leaves people speechless. If you continue like this, I think you two have no hope of being together in this life."
Wenren Meiqiao, unhappy, pouted insincerely, "Hmph, that jerk, I'd be happier if I never saw him again in my life."
The female subordinate laughed softly, "Don't say that. I'm getting married on May 1st, so I know what you're thinking. Sometimes, there's nothing wrong with being a bit gentle in front of a man, and they'll usually like you more for it."
Wenren Meiqiao hesitated, and then said with difficulty, "Gentle? That's too hard. I grew up in the Dragon Nest, competing with others. What's the use of gentleness? I really don't know how."
The female subordinate laughed, raising her eyebrows proudly, "Did you know? A man's genetic code is written with fragility, soft-spoken sweetness, and cuteness in mind as the standard for a beautiful woman. You're so domineering, flaunting your independence. Shen Qiang will just feel there's no room for two tigers on one mountain, so if you like him, you'd better change."
"How do I change?" Wenren Meiqiao asked, surprised and curious.
The female subordinate laughed, "Respect him, treat him like your superior, not a subordinate."
As she spoke, the female subordinate took an unopened cosmetics box out of her Storage Ring and placed it in front of Wenren Meiqiao, "And be a bit gentle. If you don't know how to be gentle, I suggest you start with a skirt and this lipstick."
Wenren Meiqiao was stunned, and just then, the female subordinate's phone rang. Her eyes sparkled as she stood up, "My husband is here to pick me up, so I'm off. The lipstick is for you, try it. I think Shen Qiang will definitely like it."
With that, the female subordinate got up and left the office.
Left alone, Wenren Meiqiao stared at the lipstick in front of her with wide eyes. After hesitating repeatedly, she didn't touch the lipstick but got up to leave. However, as she stepped out of her office and was about to lock the door, she saw the lipstick box again. She lightly pressed her lips together like cherry blossom petals, looked around at the deserted area, and quickly gestured.
The lipstick immediately flew into her hand under the control of True Yuan.
"Does this thing really have such magical power?"
She frowned, full of doubt, but seeing the office empty except for the duty room, she still turned and left.
Almost at the same time, back home, Shen Qiang took a quick shower and then climbed into bed, taking out his phone to log into the Immortal World Forum he hadn't visited for quite a while.
Then he entered the Jianghu disputes section.
So he discovered that Ling Zhengyang, once one of the cultivation's five tigers who was forced to kneel by Yuwen Hu's One Slash, was making a name for himself on the forum. Basically, it meant he went to the Northern Desert, fought a Dao Fruit Stage guy named Xing, and won.
The entire forum was buzzing about how strong he was.
Various fangirls and young people were enthusiastically clinging on, endlessly praising Brother Zhengyang.
The fervor of discussion seemed no less than the time when Shen Qiang was the center of attention.
But Shen Qiang wasn't much concerned about his affairs because, in Shen Qiang's eyes, this guy was just a brute who picked fights with everyone, a typical 'I don't understand this or that reason; my fists are big; don't like it? Then fight me, and the winner decides'.
Shen Qiang didn't bother to look closely and closed the page, then noticed that Zuo Lianghao of Heshenghe was also getting attention on the forum. This guy was handsome, with strong cultivation, and the Infinite Sword Formation was reputed to be extraordinary.
Also, he was a dashing figure with the grace of jade. Ever since joining Heshenghe, with an Eagle Demon companion by his side, although he still couldn't defeat Ling Zhengyang, he could certainly win in a war of attrition, given the Eagle Demon could fly.
No matter how strong Ling Zhengyang's fists were, if he couldn't reach Zuo Lianghao, what was the point?
Besides those two, there were three other people from the cultivation's five tigers who were equally notable on the forum, each having a fanbase.
Shen Qiang glanced casually and was surprised to find a post about himself at the end of the first page. The post's content was roughly about people from the Bounty Hunters' platform launching a hunt for Shen Qiang, but in the end, three of them were instantly counter-killed by Shen Qiang's thunderous methods.
Logically, such a post should attract many of Shen Qiang's haters to nitpick.
But to Shen Qiang's disappointment.
Shen Qiang had thought too much; the post did have a lot of replies, hundreds of them, but the content was quite predictable.
"Tch, crazy for money, huh? That Shen Qiang is the King of Demons and a Heshenghe big shot; his followers are all Dao Fruit Stage powerhouses. Going after him for a Jade Finger Sword and the Kunlun Sword Technique is just asking for death."
"Wow, I never expected this; Brother Qiang is mighty and revered, and yet there's someone foolish enough to seek death. That intelligence is genuinely touching."
"No surprise, is Heshenghe's boss really this easy to take down? If he was, I'd have tried to make a name for myself ages ago."
Scrolling casually, most replies were like that. But it made sense; a three-star hunter's attempt to hunt Shen Qiang failing was hardly news. If they had succeeded, that would be sensational.
So Shen Qiang didn't give it much thought and directly closed those posts, then posted a message on the forum himself.
"From now on, the area within 150 meters around me is a forbidden zone for cultivators. Any cultivator entering this range must announce themselves and state their purpose, or face the consequences."
Just as the post was sent, after showering, Ke Bizhu appeared at the bedside, wrapped in a bath towel, her figure enchanting. She coyly took the phone from Shen Qiang's hand and said softly, "The rest of the time is mine."
