Chapter 2301 - 2304: Within the Four Seas, It's Not Yet Time for the Sea Emperor's Sole Dominion (Fifth Update)

Early the next morning, when the morning light penetrated the seawater and reflected in the Crystal Palace, Shen Qiang on the dragon couch opened his eyes and saw the Mermaid Princess Jinli Qianning beside him, looking at him with charming eyes.

"Bad person!"

Qianning, who was usually aloof and cold, turned her head immediately when she saw Shen Qiang awake, refusing to look at him, her pink lips curving into a half-smile.

Shen Qiang's eyes bent with laughter.

Smelling the faint fragrance coming from her body, feeling her soft and warm body, Shen Qiang couldn't help but laugh.

"Qianning, you look beautiful when you're being coy."

"No way!"

Qianning turned her head arrogantly, but the smile on her lips made Shen Qiang's eyes bend with laughter.

"Are you always this good at deceiving yourself?" Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow with a smile: "Even the coldest person sometimes inadvertently reveals their true thoughts."

Qianning's face turned red, and without looking at Shen Qiang, she said, "You're so bad, a dignified Dragon Emperor shouldn't be such a jerk as you."

"Alright, when we return from Atlantic City, I'll find some scholars to write stories about my noble character and tell them to the sea demons."

"Scoundrel!" Qianning was amused.

Shen Qiang chuckled, "Don't try to be high-minded, I'm just a simple person. I have the seven emotions and six desires. You can't seriously want me to be a sanctimonious, impeccable hypocrite, can you?"

Qianning gave Shen Qiang a cold glance, with a slight smile on her lips, "Anyway, you're just a bad guy; don't expect me to say anything nice about you."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Because if I'm too good, it won't highlight your nobility?"

"That's not it." Jinli Qianning hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm very nervous."

Shen Qiang instantly put away his playful smile and said, "Because of what's happening in Atlantic City."

Qianning was silent for a moment before saying, "Many sea creatures will die unjustly because of your whim."

Shen Qiang smiled, "Then you can take care of the offspring of those sea creatures for me."

"Can't we avoid going?" Qianning frowned.

Shen Qiang laughed.

"The arrow is on the string, and it has to be shot." Shen Qiang said calmly, "Because I have already waited too long for this. When I first got involved in cultivation, I promised Qingxuan that I would help her renew her immortal fate. Now so much time has passed, we have everything we need, and I don't want to keep her waiting."

"Moreover..." Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow and said, "If I can't resurrect Qingxuan, I've lost. Many people around me will die. Praying won't make the opponent stop wielding the knife."

Qianning frowned, sighed, and said, "I understand, I'll get ready, and we'll set off right after breakfast."

"Air drop into Atlantic City." Shen Qiang said calmly, "This is the fastest method, and Bao Yu Laosan and the others went this way too, so we can't have too many people."

"Got it."

Saying this, the exquisite Qianning got up.

Her graceful figure not only had a more mature charm, but also an inexplicable coquettishness with each movement.

Qianning got up and left the sleeping chamber.

As soon as she left, Shen Qiang immediately took out his phone.

During this time, nearly a hundred messages had already accumulated on his phone.

Most of the messages were about Gong Ziyi's movements and the information from the bounty hunter platform.

"Cancel the bounty on Song Weiyin 36 hours later." Shen Qiang calmly messaged, "If it needs to be canceled earlier, I'll send another notice."

The moment the message was sent.

A message had already returned to the phone: "Okay, sir."

Putting away the bounty hunter platform.

Shen Qiang turned his attention to the core working group of Heshenghe.

Upon opening it, he saw many messages.

All were brief.

The contents focused on post-battle processing and preventing possible counterattacks from Gong Ziyi.

Only one message caught Shen Qiang's attention.

"The pride of heaven, Chu Xiaotian, refused to work citing safety concerns and, along with seventeen other alchemists, has halted work."

Seeing this message, Shen Qiang replied calmly.

"Let them rest. Wait until I return. In the upcoming period, I won't be able to keep in touch. Please be patient."

After sending the message.

The core working group quickly had many responses.

Despite being early morning, everyone was present.

This clearly meant that the pressure was so great that they couldn't sleep in.

But then again, it's understandable.

Anyone facing the constant threat of losing their heads would also find it impossible to sleep.

"Once I return, everything will change."

Muttering to himself, Shen Qiang put away his phone and got up to change clothes.

At this moment, outside the Dragon Palace.

On the vast square beneath the giant bubble sky.

Thousands of Great Sea Demons stood on either side.

And among those fierce Great Sea Demons.

Thirty tall and short, slim and stout Great Sea Demons gathered together.

Not only did each of them look extraordinarily strong.

Their uninhibited display of strong auras was not only a level higher than the thousands of Great Sea Demons on both sides but also unparalleled in battle intent, making the many richly dressed Great Sea Demons observing them sigh involuntarily.

"The elite among the elite. If these thirty Great Sea Demons were under my command, even Yu Jiang would have to bow before me!"

"These thirty Great Sea Demons are arguably the strongest beings within the Huaxia Sea Border. In a one-on-one fight, they may not be a match for Yu Jiang, but if they ganged up, not even Yu Jiang would survive."

"Their strength is enviable. If there were three hundred such Great Sea Demons, forget Atlantic City, who in the entire world could stop the Dragon Emperor's steps?"

Under their astounded gazes.

The terrifying Dragon Breath descended with a roar.

Not only did everyone feel a weight on their shoulders, but even the thirty Great Sea Demons flaunting their powerful auras instantly toned down.

Because, in front of Shen Qiang's powerful Dragon Breath, their auras were like fireflies under the sun.

Boom!

All the Great Sea Demons knelt on one knee in unison.

"Hail the Dragon Emperor, may our Emperor live in infinite happiness and endless longevity!"

After the shouts of the many Great Sea Demons ended, Shen Qiang calmly said in a loud voice, "Rise, everyone."

"Thank you, Dragon Emperor!"

The many Great Sea Demons all rose.

Once they were all standing, Shen Qiang looked at them calmly and said in a deep voice, "I don't want to say too many sentimental words, because I always feel those sentiments are too melodramatic. Going to Atlantic City is neither as complex as you imagine nor as simple as you think."

"Athena's Divine Corpse is extremely important to me. I can resurrect her and make her one of us. Doing so, we will become stronger."

Seeing the many Great Sea Demons instantly shocked, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Additionally, I also want to use this matter to remind the Sea Emperor that within the Four Seas, it's not his place to monopolize supremacy!"
