Chapter 2406 - 2409: Actually, I Stole the Particle Cannon That Can Cause Disasters

In the room, the female ninja Yu Wenzi, with a perfectly beautiful face and a back as white as stagnant jade adorned with ink tattoo of mountains and ferocious beasts, tied up her hair and applied a blood-red lip color to her delicate cherry lips.

Qian Ning, dragged out of the room by Shen Qiang, was pouting as she looked at Shen Qiang, holding his arm like a spoiled child, and said coyly, "Shen Qiang, what are you doing? Poor Wenzi is so pitiful, her beautiful skin being marked with such ugly patterns by those bastards. Shouldn't I stay to comfort her at a time like this?"

Shen Qiang chuckled, raising his eyebrows in surprise, and glanced sideways at the cooing Qian Ning, saying, "Alright, I know it's rare for you to meet a friend you can talk to and trust, but darling, you must understand, people's hearts are the most complicated things."

Qian Ning paused for a moment, and said with a sulk, "She's pretty good, someone who can write such wonderful songs can't be that bad."

Shen Qiang smiled, looking at Qian Ning beside him, feeling somewhat helpless. After all, she is a Mermaid Princess, aside from possessing cultivation and an extremely beautiful singing voice, she is as innocent as a preschool child.

Unlike Qian Ning, Shen Qiang had experienced much, especially in the hospital, a place that exposes the depths of human nature, where he had seen too much of humanity's darkness and kindness.

Moreover.

More importantly, Shen Qiang is the inheritor of the Medical Saint Inheritance.

Aside from medicine, the Medical Saint Inheritance includes everything else the Medical Saint learned in his lifetime.

The most basic of which are the eight elegant arts of traditional gentlemen.

Music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, flowers, and tea.

Among these eight arts, although the Medical Saint did not reach the artistic pinnacle in any of them, he possessed unquestionably grandmaster-level skills in each.

Therefore, when Yu Wenzi exposed the tattoo on her beautiful back, Shen Qiang immediately recognized that the landscape painting and ferocious beast tattoos were crafted artistically beyond ordinary art.

To put it bluntly,

Even if it were painted on paper, such a painting could become a classic masterpiece, earning a spot on the collection list of top-tier art collectors.

Moreover.

From the technique and some subtle traces in the tattoos, including the elegant brushwork, Shen Qiang could clearly perceive that this exquisite transcendent tattoo must have been crafted by a top female tattoo artist.

For ordinary people to request such a tattoo from this old artist, it's definitely an extravagant wish.

It's not something that can be achieved by spending millions.

Furthermore.

The key issue is, within that tattoo lies a sealing array, whose vast complexity rivals the sealing arrays used by top sects in the Cultivation World.

In such circumstances, why would someone go to a tattoo master whom others seek in vain, to forcefully apply a sealing array disguised as a beautiful artwork on someone they persecuted?

What a joke!

Although it's unknown what's sealed within that array, along with the exquisite tattoo and that array, placed in Huaxia's Cultivation World, let's not even discuss whether anyone can create it to such standard; even if someone could, its price would definitely not be lower than a Storage Ring.

That is, at least eighty million, or even more than one hundred million, to acquire something like this.

Yu Wenzi said she was persecuted, forced to have these tattoos etched on her.

But swap perspectives to any thinking individual—who would do something like that?

Persecuting others by first finding a master to spend fortune on giving them a top-level sealing array, then considering the array might be unsightly, finding an artist to tattoo it into an exquisite piece of art?

If there are really such bad people, please, give me a dozen.

Unless it's a loved one, who would spend so much money and effort for someone else?

Therefore, Yu Wenzi's so-called confession, in Shen Qiang's mind, simply doesn't add up.

However, silly Qian Ning seems to genuinely believe it.

So when he heard her comments about Yu Wenzi, Shen Qiang instinctively wanted to speak about it, but seeing her innocent eyes, Shen Qiang had a change of heart, deciding this was something he shouldn't say to her.

Because Qian Ning's innocence signifies potential exploitation.

If Yu Wenzi harbors ulterior motives, she wouldn't only avoid harming the easily exploitable Qian Ning but would likely maintain good relations and offer protection since she can be used.

If Qian Ning distrusts Yu Wenzi, making her feel harder to control.

Then Yu Wenzi would surely prioritize getting rid of Qian Ning or using other methods.

So Qian Ning's simplicity may be her protective charm.

Just like philosophers say, if a person is simple, the world is also simple for them.

"Alright, since you think she's not very bad, then continue interacting with her; that's your freedom," Shen Qiang raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Upon hearing this, the simple-minded Qian Ning laughed coyly, saying, "Yu Wenzi's singing is really good, and her voice is excellent too; can she sing with me in the future?"

Shen Qiang smiled and said, "That's between you two; you can decide for yourself, but you've signed under Gong Ziyi's entertainment company, so you must respect your manager and the company's opinions. If they're not opposed, feel free."

Upon hearing this, Qian Ning laughed, nodding excitedly in agreement.

Then suddenly, her tone shifted, saying, "Shen Qiang, since you've completed the Dragon Group mission and Yu Wenzi has confessed, shouldn't we head back to Jin City? You've been looking for some things recently, and you won't find them here."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang was surprised and glanced at Qian Ning sideways, asking, "Do you think I came here to focus on Yu Wenzi?"

Qian Ning sulked, saying, "Hmph, really think I'm a fool? Clearly, there's something between you and Yu Wenzi, as if I can't see it?" She suddenly laughed coyly, saying, "She's so pretty, her body is great, she can sing, play instruments, and is a ninja, why not just take her in? Then we can be together forever."

Shen Qiang chuckled, "Do you think I'm interested in her?"

"In the past, those Great Sea Demons that fancied me would come looking for trouble, now you're also troubling her, isn't it the same? You must've fallen for her."

Shen Qiang laughed and suddenly changed the subject, "You're not using your cleverness in the right place; Yu Wenzi is just a stable, somewhat skilled, and deceitful little girl in my eyes. She alone can't delay my plans; I came here for a real reason because..."

Suddenly smirking confidently, Shen Qiang raised his eyebrows and smiled, saying, "I don't want anyone to know I stole the Particle Cannon from the box."
