Fury Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1828 - 1831: Abi's Blissful Delight (Fifth Update)

Just as the many alchemists of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands were struck by Shen Qiang's inadvertent actions, the pert young girl Abi was holding the charming Fog Scene Orchid and playfully smiling in front of Shen Qiang: "Here, this is something Qin Yurou entrusted me to give to you personally."Shen Qiang smiled, his eyes bright as he looked at the indigo Fog Scene Orchid: "It's so beautiful." Then he raised his eyebrows at Abi: "Just like you."

Abi smiled with her eyes bent happily and said: "Even though I know that's a lie, it still makes me happy. Besides, you need to cherish this flower; the Young Master specifically went to Mist Peak to pick it for you. She said putting this on your display booth will help attract business."

Shen Qiang looked at the flower in his hand and smiled. As a man, Shen Qiang didn't like walking around holding flowers, but the thought from Qin Yurou still moved him a bit, because in fact, this Fog Scene Orchid itself is an Exotic Grass, something that can be made into pills, and it's very rare, so it definitely has an eye-catching appeal for alchemists.

"For you, the Young Master went to great lengths; she rarely asks for help, but this time, she specifically sought out the Third Elder, persuading him for a long time, until the Third Elder finally agreed to give you the best exhibition booth." Abi playfully handed Shen Qiang the booth allocation list and said: "The best location, number thirteen. The Young Master said with these two things, you'll definitely be able to sell a lot of Elixir Pills."

Shen Qiang smiled: "Thank you, and her? Will she come today?"

Abi shook her head, furrowing her brows: "She was caught by the Sect Leader when she went to the banquet hall to see you. The Sect Leader said unless your Elixir Pills make it into the top eight, the Young Master won't be allowed to meet you."

Shen Qiang smiled: "Doesn't your Sect Leader know I came to win the championship?"

Abi smiled with her eyes bent: "The Young Master also wants to win the championship, but it seems she hasn't succeeded yet."

Shen Qiang smiled: "What about you, will you come with me?"

"No way, I'd be laughed at by fellow disciples." Abi looked around playfully and, seeing no one nearby, coquettishly said: "Shen Qiang, I miss you. I've decided that if you lose the Elixir Pills competition, I'll secretly run away to find you."

Shen Qiang smiled with his eyes bent and said: "With the flowers that you and Yu Rou have sent, and the best exhibition booth, how could I possibly lose? Don't worry, I've got the first place in this Elixir Pills competition nailed down—not only the Elixir Pills evaluation but also in the number of orders, I'm aiming to be first."

"If someone else said this, I wouldn't believe it." Abi playfully laughed and said: "But since you said it, I believe! Go for it, the Young Master and I are both expecting you; make all the alchemists recognize your presence!"

"Don't worry, I definitely won't disappoint you." Shen Qiang said with a smile.

Hmm!

She nodded vigorously, then watched as the alchemists began to walk toward the exhibition hall. Abi playfully extended her fair, slender little finger and happily said: "Let's make a pinky promise; you have to win, alright."

Shen Qiang smiled and linked his pinky with hers, saying: "Rest assured, I will do as I say."

Abi mischievously smiled: "Then I'm off, good luck!"

With that, she flashed away and left via a side path.

Only when her pert figure disappeared did Shen Qiang smile and put the Fog Scene Orchid into his Storage Ring, then instructed Ji Wei beside him, "Let's go, to the exhibition hall."

Five minutes later.

At the exhibition hall.

"How can you be so unreasonable, giving us this kind of corner?" Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu chased after Zong Zixiao and said: "That's a dead-end, you can't even see the booth from outside; it's practically a natural warehouse. You have to give us a different spot."

Upon hearing this, Zong Zixiao raised an eyebrow and said: "Miss Ke, don't make it difficult for me; this is all business, and there are only so many booths. Some get good positions, some not so good, and that's just how it is. Everyone wants a good spot, but there's only one."

"You're targeting our Heshenghe." Ke Bizhu said: "Otherwise, why else would it be that our first time here, and we're given the worst spot."

Zong Zixiao chuckled and replied: "Every newcomer thinks like this, but if you're really dissatisfied, you can actually withdraw."

"Is this what your Valley Master instructed you to say?" Shen Qiang coldly said as he approached.

Zong Zixiao raised an eyebrow, turned around, looked at Shen Qiang with an innately smug expression, and said: "Just my personal suggestion. Also, Mr. Shen, allow me to introduce myself: I'm called Zong Zijin, and I'm the manager of the hall; Zong Zijin is my younger brother."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang smiled: "So you're targeting me?"

Zong Zixiao shook his head with a smile and said: "Mr. Shen, please trust me, there's no targeting."

"What's our booth number?" Shen Qiang frowned.

Ke Bizhu said: "Number 29."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang smiled, taking out the booth allocation list Abi had given him earlier and handing it over, saying, "You're mistaken, ours is number thirteen."

In an instant, Zong Zixiao's smile stiffened. Hesitating for a moment, he took the paper with a somber expression, pretended to look at it as if he hadn't seen it before, then folded it and, with a smile, tore it up while looking at Shen Qiang.

As he tore the paper, he said, "The arrangement of booths follows strict procedures; it's not something a printed paper can decide. Additionally, Mr. Shen, I'd like to know if you graduated from kindergarten? Judging by your expression, it seems you're about to cry. If you want to go tattletale to the aunt, please go ahead."

"You!" Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu became anxious.

And at this moment, Shen Qiang drew her back, took a step forward, stood in front of Zong Zixiao, and said coldly: "Does mocking me give you pleasure? Or defying orders feel gratifying?"

Zong Zixiao smiled: "Not at all; I always conduct affairs according to the rules."

Shen Qiang laughed, looking into his eyes: "You know, your cleverness will bring you big trouble."

Zong Zixiao raised an eyebrow: "I don't think so."

After speaking, seeing no one frowning in attention, Zong Zixiao stared into Shen Qiang's eyes and coldly said: "The trouble is yours; it's a lousy booth, virtually no one will go there. If you keep talking nonsense, that corner might not even have electricity; tsk tsk, a dark corner, I fear you won't get any orders. So, Mr. Shen, you better show me sufficient respect."

Shen Qiang was silent for a moment then smiled: "Are you certain our booth is number twenty-nine, not thirteen?"

"Yes, I'm very certain." Zong Zixiao said calmly, as if even if it weren't, there was nothing Shen Qiang could do.

Shen Qiang smiled: "Alright, then number twenty-nine." Turning to the bewildered Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu with a smile, Shen Qiang said: "Go get ready."

Although extremely displeased by this, Ke Bizhu had no choice but to respond.

"That's right, if Mr. Shen had been this sensible earlier, we wouldn't need all this nonsense." Zong Zixiao coldly laughed with a raised eyebrow.

Shen Qiang also smiled, briskly waving his wrist to hold the vase with the Fog Scene Orchid.

In an instant, Zong Zixiao turned pale upon seeing the delicate and vivid Fog Scene Orchid because he knew that in the entire Medicine King Valley, only three people were qualified to pick this flower.

So in a flash, he wanted to take back his words.

But at that moment, Shen Qiang winked at him, then mockingly smiled and said: "You've gotten yourself into trouble, and neither I nor the person who picked the flower is inclined to forgive you."
