Chapter 2402 - 2405: Deliberately Getting Close to the Beautiful Female Ninja Yu Wenzi

"The people from the Dragon Group are so stingy! They just gave a so-called commendation and an upgrade in authority? Not even tens of billions in reward; they are truly stingy like no one else." Shen Qiang, upon seeing the notification of the authority upgrade on his phone, looked helpless.

But fortunately, Shen Qiang's current focus is to obtain the Dragon Bone. After securing the Dragon Bone, opening the Dragon Emperor's treasury and holding the Dragon Emperor's Three Divine Artifacts would mean effortlessly defeating any gods or buddhas in his way. At that point, what would money matter?

He could have as much as he wanted.

Thinking of this, he felt inexplicably cheerful, and instinctively wanted to input information on the other keys.

But suddenly, he noticed Yu Wenzi, who was also sitting behind Ye Guyun, looking at him with curious eyes, making Shen Qiang hold back his thought of immediately searching for the whereabouts of the other keys.

After all, Shen Qiang has not yet decided how to deal with Yu Wenzi.

The simplest method is to kill Yu Wenzi with one slash, thus eradicating any future troubles.

Yet, at the same time, Shen Qiang feels somewhat reluctant to do so.

Firstly, although he knows she has issues, Shen Qiang cannot commit murder without concrete evidence.

Secondly, despite Yu Wenzi's obvious problems, it must be admitted that she is indeed talented.

Especially in music, Shen Qiang can clearly sense that she gets along well with Qian Ning.

Not only that.

Through the Observation Skill, Shen Qiang can see that Yu Wenzi's cultivation has reached the Dao Fruit Stage.

This indicates she is extraordinarily gifted in cultivation.

A cultivator who enters the Dao Fruit Stage before the age of thirty, frankly speaking, is a genius among geniuses.

Each one is a formidable talent with a unique gift.

And, she's beautiful.

Very beautiful, with looks not inferior to the stunning film queen Song Weiyin, and a sensuous, firm, and curvaceous figure.

Killing her is easy, just one slash is enough, but finding another such talented woman to accompany Qian Ning would be a wishful thinking.

Because Qian Ning won't be staying at Heshenghe Mountain Villa.

She must stay in Jin City.

Because by the sea, Qian Ning feels stronger.

If truly left inland, apart from some rainmaking and singing, Qian Ning would wield no intimidating power.

Moreover, is there anyone in the world whose heart doesn't harbor some ideas and desires?

Promotion, wealth, love, admiration from thousands.

Everyone does things with somewhat of a selfish motive behind them.

Even Bianyi, or others from Heshenghe, actually have their selfish motives.

Just that their desires don't conflict with those of Shen Qiang, so in such circumstances, Shen Qiang can allow others to have selfish motives.

For example, Bianyi wants to use Shen Qiang's power to extort the Sect Treasures of major sects in the Cultivation World to Heshenghe.

The big black guard dog wants to eat meat every day.

Cheng Xinyi and Wanxin Hesheng want to be the first to distribute Shen Qiang's elixir pills.

This is all understandable.

Only for now, Shen Qiang can only confirm that Yu Wenzi is indeed intentionally getting close to him, but he hasn't determined her true motive.

Because she might be an enemy, might seek profit, or possibly just want to flirt, or perhaps simply seeks protection.

Hence, merely guessing the situation for interrogation or killing her to silence her, such things Shen Qiang indeed cannot do.

Moreover, more importantly, one of the seven keys to the Moon Palace, the Balance Ruler, is in the Ninja Country.

Besides being a key, it has unique, miraculous abilities not inferior to a Divine Artifact.

Namely, the scale.

Simply put, it can measure distances between celestial bodies, and other such levels, angles, etc.

At first glance, this seems meaningless.

But in a weightless state in space, the existence of such a scale is simply a Divine Artifact, and its utility in specific environments is indisputably that of a Divine Artifact.

And to get the Balance Ruler, Yu Wenzi is crucial.

She comes from there, reportedly has some connection with the Ninja Group that possesses the Balance Ruler, making her one of the informed parties. As long as she is managed, the chances of obtaining the Balance Ruler increase significantly.

So killing Yu Wenzi is not feasible in the short term, and Shen Qiang wouldn't do that anyway.

However, if he doesn't figure out why Yu Wenzi is approaching him, Shen Qiang won't have peace either, and he wouldn't be able to use her to get the Balance Ruler. In fact, Shen Qiang wouldn't even be able to mention it to her.

Because once she alerts the Ninja Group, if they hide the Balance Ruler and never give away any hints—

Then Shen Qiang would have no chance to get it.

These thoughts flashed through his mind.

"Hey, since you've helped the Dragon Group so much, was the message just sent their way of saying thank you?" Yu Wenzi curiously asked and was quite obviously trying to establish a closer relationship with Shen Qiang.

Shen Qiang smiled slightly, unabashedly showed her the phone for a few seconds, then laughed: "Sort of, but they're so stingy, not even a reward or some Divine Artifacts."

Yu Wenzi chuckled and squinted with laughter, saying: "You don't seem to be lacking in those things, besides, I noticed the tone of their message seemed like they've granted you an amazing level of authority."

Shen Qiang furrowed his brow, paused silently for three seconds and said: "Working with officials, it's best not to expect wonders; it should be more powerful than before, but probably not very much, so it's nothing to be too mindful of. Anyway, checking some information might be easier in the future."

Yu Wenzi responded with an "oh" and then said: "It must be quite powerful, otherwise the Dragon Group wouldn't have singled it out as a reward."

Shen Qiang smiled: "Well, let's hope so, or else all my hard work would feel a bit wasted."

Yu Wenzi replied: "Bah, I don't believe that. If you were the type to only focus on rewards, you certainly would have negotiated with the Dragon Group beforehand."

"You seem to know me well." Shen Qiang smiled at Yu Wenzi.

She was momentarily stunned, her face turned rosy and then she replied: "Of course, you're the boss, knowing more isn't a bad thing, and moreover, these are things Sister Qian Ning told me."

She spoke while pulling the playful Qian Ning as a shield.

Which made Shen Qiang, who didn't want to tell Qian Ning anything about Yu Wenzi, smile slightly and then remain silent.

Seeing Shen Qiang suddenly fall silent, after a moment of quiet, Yu Wenzi couldn't help but speak: "Boss, since things are done now, we should head back, right? My window was left open..."

Shen Qiang smiled, calmly replied: "We're not heading back to Jin City because there are still some things unfinished, so we're going to the Dragon Palace instead!"
