Chapter 2044 - 2047: Supreme Demon Geng Jingyi

Seeing Shen Qiang's eyes full of helplessness, the charming Ye Guyun mischievously said: "Scared, huh? Humph, if you don't let me eat meat, I'll soon starve to death, and then you won't be able to play the bad guy anymore."

Looking at her under the courtyard lights, as charming as a flower, Shen Qiang's heart trembled inexplicably because if Ye Guyun hadn't brought up this matter, Shen Qiang himself would have already forgotten about the Symbiotic Imprint. In fact, the Symbiotic Imprint is a secret technique that shares life.

The one truly at a disadvantage from the beginning has been Ye Guyun.

Her true body is the leader among the Ancient Four Great Beasts, the Qiongqi.

If she doesn't encounter heavenly tribulations or is not hunted down, living for thousands of years would be incredibly easy.

But Shen Qiang?

A human, a cultivator.

Although once reaching the Mahayana Realm in cultivation, living for a few hundred years wouldn't be a problem, even Earth Immortals find it difficult to have a lifespan exceeding three hundred years.

But because of Ye Guyun.

Even if Shen Qiang's cultivation makes no progress whatsoever, as long as he isn't killed, living for one or two thousand years is essentially a given for him now, without a doubt.

And that additional lifespan is obviously Ye Guyun's.

With such a lovely and charming beauty, sharing her most precious life with Shen Qiang, what reason does Shen Qiang have to begrudge her for occupying the restaurant, always liking to eat meat—these trivial matters.

"I won't bully you; rather the opposite, I'll care for you as I do for myself. So, if you want to eat meat, just eat meat, as much as you want. Even if you eat until you're a two-hundred-pound fatty, I'll still take care of you as always."

Shen Qiang's gaze was sincere.

The charming Ye Guyun's beautiful eyes immediately brightened, and not only did her face turn unexpectedly red, but she also exclaimed happily: "You said you'll pamper me into a two-hundred-pound fatty?"

Shen Qiang laughed and extended his little finger: "Of course, a gentleman's promise is hard to chase down. If you don't believe me, let's make a pinky swear."

Ye Guyun's eyes curved with laughter, her lovely little tiger teeth sparkling snow-white under the courtyard lights.

"Alright then, if you lie, you'll be like the barking kind of little dog!"

The charming Ye Guyun's little finger was snow-white, slender, softly hooked and warm.

"Pinky swear." She clasped Shen Qiang's little finger, smiling so sweetly, so beautifully.

Looking at her charming smile, Shen Qiang, who initially felt somewhat anxious and uneasy, inexplicably found calmness because the matter was simple; it wasn't that Gong Ziyi was so powerful or that Shen Qiang was so terrified.

Ultimately, Shen Qiang was being too eager for quick success.

Honestly calculated, it's been just a little over a year since Shen Qiang obtained the immortal fate until now.

Not only has he built up the foundation of Heshenghe from scratch.

His cultivation has already reached the Mixed Element Realm.

Not only recognized by the Dragon Group's War God but also commonly acknowledged in the cultivation world as the King of Demons, the Medicine King.

Such achievements would be astonishing on any genius.

Yet Shen Qiang remains unsatisfied; Shen Qiang hopes even more to possess the strength to crush everything right now.

This is the root of Shen Qiang's anxiety.

"Three feet of ice does not form in one cold day, Rome wasn't built in a day. Be calm, be stable, set aside those distractions, do what you ought to do, live in the present, take one step at a time, walking steadily. With the lifespan and resources I now have, one day, the entire cultivation world will tremble at my command."

Free of agitation, Shen Qiang's mood lightened, strolling and laughing with Ye Guyun in the evening breeze.

Meanwhile, at the small street town not far from Heshenghe Mountain Villa.

An ominous-looking Great Demon, Niu Shanshan, sat with arrogance in the back hall of a house courtyard.

Looking at the dozen or so Great Demons around, he coldly said: "You all are renowned Great Demons who have survived many storms, existing precariously amid the cultivators' various campaigns; you are the elite of the Demon World. I won't bother with unnecessary polite words; let's cut straight to the chase. You heads must give me a decisive answer: are we forming this alliance or not?"

A dozen Great Demons exchanged glances.

"Senior Niu, an alliance, to my view, indeed has many benefits without harm. Personally, I have no objections in this regard, but now, everyone is living harmoniously here, all because of Heshenghe's protection. Otherwise, those cultivators who clamor daily about eliminating demons and defending the way would never spare us."

"True, Senior Niu, regarding this alliance, honored to have your favor, I'm honestly quite flattered. If we don't have to oppose Heshenghe, I'm certainly in favor, but joining forces to confront Heshenghe, I think the purpose demands further deliberation."

"Shen Qiang can't fall. Without Shen Qiang as the King of Demons, the cultivators wouldn't spare us."

Upon hearing such remarks, the ominous-looking Great Demon coldly said: "I've explained to you that we are forming an alliance to dismantle Shen Qiang's Heshenghe. Afterward, we can re-elect the Demon King; remember, we have capable people backing us."

"Gong Ziyi's influence is vast; his grandfather can hold his own against the Dragon Group War God. His own strength is unmatched by Shen Qiang's. Stronger in every aspect than Shen Qiang, with his support, we will surely triumph!"

A chubby, seemingly amusing Great Demon hesitated and said: "Shen Qiang's background is more complex: Dragon Group War God, Cheng Xinyi, Wan Xin Hesheng, Medicine King Valley, Thirty-two Skillful Hands, Baihua Palace, Long Chang. Let's momentarily set aside whether we can win; now Shen Qiang is the universally acknowledged King of Demons in the cultivation world. If someone else is elected and the cultivators don't recognize them, there will inevitably be rivers of blood."

Hearing this, the ominous-looking Great Demon said: "Oh, so you're willing to live like this forever, huh? Look at the demons of Heshenghe, how arrogant they are now. Do they even look at us directly? They feast and drink lavishly, and you're willing to live your whole life eating northwest wind?"

"Of course not!" A Great Demon said: "But what can we do? We had matters before, and Heshenghe didn't take us in."

"Then according to the old rules." The ominous-looking Great Demon said: "This piece of Feng Shui treasure land, whoever is strong gets it, chase them away, isn't that easy?"

This immediately made the eyes of the present dozen Great Demons shine brightly. After all, as demons, fists have always spoken louder.

But just as many Great Demons were noticeably stirred, with a light cough, a Great Demon rose and said: "Senior Niu, your words might make sense, but I'm a demon, I don't understand so many great truths. I only know that if it weren't for Brother Geng Jingyi lending a hand back then and later notifying us to come here, I think whether I'm still alive would be in question, so whether we form this alliance or not, go find Geng Jingyi. If he agrees, I have no objection; if he doesn't, then I apologize, farewell."

As he left.

The other Great Demons also immediately got up one after another.

"Indeed, without Geng Jingyi's approval, this alliance is meaningless."

"If he comes, we'll come; if he disagrees, don't mention this again."

"Farewell."

Watching the Great Demons, upon hearing Geng Jingyi's name, promptly change their stance and leave, the ominous-looking Great Demon gritted his teeth coldly: "Fine, fine, then tomorrow noon, I'll have Geng Jingyi personally bring you for the alliance!"
