Chapter 2205 - 2208: The Name of Shen Qiang Shocks the Seas

Early the next morning, waking up to the unique gentle fragrance like jasmine from Wenren Meiqiao, Shen Qiang immediately saw the infinite satisfaction in her eyes and the charming gaze she directed at him, her snow-white jade hand supporting her fragrant cheek.

"Shen Qiang, your lovely mermaid princess is something else. You heard what the people from the Sea Border Department said last night; they call her the uncrowned queen of the sea border. Do you know what this means?"

Shen Qiang smiled helplessly, "Can you spare me? Right now, my eyes are only on you."

Wenren Meiqiao, hearing this, gave a charming smile and said teasingly, "Look at you, acting so silly. Life isn't just about what happens in bed. As a cultivator, a member of the Huaxia Dragon Group, we shoulder significant responsibilities. Huaxia's security comes first, so I don't care about the little thing between you and her, nor do I have any interest in your petty jealousy."

"Long live understanding," Shen Qiang nodded with a suspicious look in his eyes.

Seeing Shen Qiang's odd expression, Wenren Meiqiao burst into laughter, "Why are you looking at me like that? In fact, we members of the Dragon Group have a natural disadvantage when facing sea demons. If it weren't for the fact that the Great Sea Demon King and Yu Jiang aren't too bad, maritime security would have been an empty promise long ago."

Shen Qiang frowned, "I don't understand. What exactly are you trying to say?"

"Securing the Mermaid Princess, Jinli Qianning, who is currently known as the strongest and only super Great Sea Demon able to control sea monsters."

Wenren Meiqiao looked seriously into Shen Qiang's eyes and said, "You must understand that sea demons are highly intelligent with divine powers and are very strong, but the giant sea monsters in the deep sea are not inferior to them at all, and in some respects, even stronger. So the Sea Border Department means to hopefully develop Qian Ning into a member of the department. If not, at least keep her by your side, at Heshenghe, because the power she holds is too terrifying."

Shen Qiang laughed, raised his eyebrows helplessly, and after a long silence, suddenly said with a smile, "I'll do my best to keep her by my side, at Heshenghe, alright?"

Hearing this, Wenren Meiqiao's eyes twinkled charmingly, "Huh, that mermaid princess clearly likes you. I just don't believe you can't handle her. So then, don't disappoint me with this matter."

"Don't disappoint the Sea Border Department, right?" Shen Qiang raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Wenren Meiqiao curled her lips and said, "There's no difference, as long as Huaxia is safe and she won't be a threat to any region, that's fine."

"Got it," Shen Qiang responded, smiling.

After saying this, Wenren Meiqiao got up.

With her lovely figure in full dress, she gave Shen Qiang, still lying in bed, a peck on the cheek before leaving home for work.

After she left.

A delicate and charming golden cicada flew out, landed on the bedside table, holding a melon that seemed evidently large for her, took a bite, and said, "Master, hasn't the mermaid Jinli Qianning already agreed to be with you? Why didn't you tell Wenren Meiqiao about this?"

Shen Qiang smiled, then frowned slightly and said, "Different stances lead to different perspectives. The Dragon Group, the Sea Border Department, including Wenren Meiqiao, all hope Jinli Qianning stays within their sight because, out of the water, the mermaid poses no threat at all."

Glancing at the curious golden cicada holding the melon, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "But for me, only Qian Ning in the sea has meaning."

The golden cicada was puzzled, "I don't quite understand."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Because that means even if someone has the power to instantly destroy Heshenghe, I, Shen Qiang, still have the ability to retaliate. So let's wait until Qian Ning returns to the sea to speak with Wenren Meiqiao, to avoid further complications."

Hearing this, the golden cicada was shocked, "Master, since the Divine Corpse is so important, why still let Qian Ning participate in that showcase or whatever?"

Shen Qiang chuckled, "It's timely enough. Currently, manpower is insufficient, so even if she goes, it's just idle waiting. After all, in the sea, available personnel for Heshenghe are very limited. Secondly..."

Turning to look at the golden cicada, Shen Qiang smiled, "I also want to chat more with Qian Ning. Once the Great Sea Demon Yu Jiang and many Sea Clan members are around, it won't be so convenient."

Instantly, the golden cicada smiled with her eyes curved.

Meanwhile.

Across the world's oceans, on various ships.

Boom!

The sword array formed by thousands of small hand knives repeatedly collapsed the sea surface even before they fell, in endless repetition.

"This sword array from the King of Demons, Shen Qiang, is really strong, but just from watching the video, it's still hard to judge his true strength." An old sailor said seriously, "But thinking from the simplest angle, with so many flying knives forming a sword array, the target is too obvious, and Prince Butes' claim of a sneak attack clearly doesn't hold."

Thud! Putting the glass on the table, a blue-faced, sharp-toothed captain, with a cruel smile at the corner of his mouth, said, "That idiot Butes is just making excuses to cover his incompetence."

"Mysterious eastern cultivators possessing magical techniques, so we'd better take Prince Butes' failure as a lesson," said the old sailor.

The blue-faced, sharp-toothed captain sneered, "Fortune favors the bold. Huaxia's sea borders are vast and rich in resources. Those cultivators can't even swim, so they are nothing to worry about."

Hearing this, the old sailor frowned, "This Eastern cultivator called Shen Qiang is different. According to the rumors spreading wildly now, they say that guy is a dragon, the one who once made the sea borders quiver, the unrivaled Sea King."

"Impossible, after the Divine Battle, the dragon perished; there are no dragons in this world."

"Perhaps, but I think better safe than sorry."

The old sailor's words rendered the blue-faced, sharp-toothed captain silent.

Meanwhile, in the deep sea, within a grand and splendidly decorated huge cave bubble, numerous sea demons gathered, led by a man with golden hair and blue eyes, dressed in luxurious clothing, with a cold glare.

"Confirmed to be a dragon? How is that possible? If all this is true, with a dragon in the Dragon Palace, this ocean will undoubtedly be dominated by the East once more."

"The followers of Prince Butes are quite certain, but considering they stubbornly called a fair battle an ambush by an Eastern cultivator, it's also hard to rule out the possibility they falsely described Shen Qiang."

"Ah, it really gives me a headache. Who exactly is this Shen Qiang? Keep a close watch; if the dragon rises again, we might not be able to do as we please in Huaxia's waters."

"Afraid of what? We have so many here, can't we take on a single dragon?" one sea demon protested.

The man, golden-haired and blue-eyed, dressed in luxurious attire, let out a cold snort at these words.

"Fool, you dare say such words because you haven't witnessed the dragon's might. In the past Divine Battle, even gods trembled before the dragon. Much less for us, so keep a close eye. If he truly is a dragon, our good days might just be over."
