Chapter 1801 - 1804: Jade Hands Pouring Wine, Shyness Filling Her Face

Looking at the mixed-heritage beauty Nalan Tianyu, dressed in a pure white military uniform with a serious gaze and an exquisite face, Shen Qiang smiled. At the same time, the people in the banquet hall, having had a few drinks, felt quite emboldened. They not only sneaked looks at Shen Qiang's table but also whispered among themselves."Hmph, I was wondering how Shen Qiang became so impressive. Turns out, I just saw it. Qin Yurou, the Young Master of Medicine King Valley, ranked seventy-third on the Alchemist's Top 100 list, was sneaking peeks at Shen Qiang from the back door. Ha, that shy little look shows there's something going on between them."

"I was just about to say that. It puzzled me for a while that the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, what kind of status is that? What kind of position? Look, Shen Qiang kills people here, and instead of being angry, his words speak for everyone. I guess, most likely, the Medicine King Valley Master considers Shen Qiang a son-in-law."

"Certainly, otherwise the Medicine King Valley Master wouldn't stand out and say these things."

Hearing these words, a young man at their table glanced at Shen Qiang with disdain and sneered, "Oh, so he's having an affair with Qin Yurou. No wonder he's so arrogant. In the end, isn't he just living off a woman?"

A middle-aged cultivator beside him laughed, "Young Hero Chu is right. You are an alchemist on the Top 100 list, a real talent earned through effort. This Shen Qiang, who can't even make the Top 100, compared to you, is indeed just a worthless freeloader living off a woman."

These words made Chu Xiaotian feel smug, despite his age of twenty-six or twenty-seven, he pretended to be indifferent to fame and wealth, said calmly, "The mere Top 100 list, not worth mentioning. So Shen Qiang is arrogant because he's living off a woman. If that's the case, the Medicine King Valley Master isn't some enlightened recluse after all."

The people at the same table chuckled sneeringly while looking at Shen Qiang's table.

"Since you know the Top 100 list is insignificant, where do you get the confidence to mock Shen Qiang?" Suddenly, the voice startled them. Then they saw the hall manager with an especially unpleasant look on his face.

Previously, he was the one who wanted to drive Shen Qiang away.

Seeing it was him, none of the people at the table were tense, instead, they smiled cheerfully.

"Manager Zong, why care? Just idle chatter, and besides, Shen Qiang lives off a woman and gains the admiration of your Valley Master, which is really disgraceful." Chu Xiaotian said arrogantly.

"What does it matter to you if Shen Qiang lives off a woman? If you're envious and jealous, why don't you do it too?" The hall manager's anger wasn't ordinary as he retorted coldly, "Don't claim the grapes are sour because you can't eat them. Moreover, my Young Master is exceptionally talented, astonishingly brilliant, and no ordinary waste without ability can catch her eye."

With those words, Chu Xiaotian's expression turned ugly, but before he could react, an elder from Medicine King Valley walked by with a frown and said displeasedly, "Zong Zixiao, how can you be so rude to guests? Step back to rest for a while, and come back when you've calmed down."

The hall manager took a deep breath, looked coldly at Shen Qiang, sitting at a distant corner table chatting with Nalan Tianyu, and respectfully said, "Thank you, Elder, for your teachings. Zixiao was just under a lot of pressure."

The elder sighed, transmitting his voice, "Keep business and personal matters distinct."

The hall manager nodded and left.

Meanwhile, Chu Xiaotian's face was unpleasant as he turned his gaze to Shen Qiang, not just with a fierce look but his twitching lips showed inexplicable anger.

"Did that hall manager mean to imply that I, Chu Xiaotian, ranked 62 on the Alchemist's Top 100 list, am not as good as you, an outsider—a nobody?"

Chu Xiaotian's eyes were icy.

Meanwhile, throughout the hall, many cultivators, having regained some courage after a few drinks, stared at Shen Qiang and began discussing.

"I finally understand how that Daoist Zhang died. What speaking ill of Shen Qiang behind his back, what uttering disrespectful words, it's clear to see that Daoist Zhang invited death upon himself by mocking the mixed-heritage beauty through Shen Qiang's matter."

"Hmm, hmm, makes sense. I think that's the real deal. Otherwise, it would be too abnormal. To speak honestly, I've bashed Shen Qiang online many times, and so have many others, but I never heard of Shen Qiang hitting or killing anyone because of it. So your analysis is right, Shen Qiang's real anger stemmed from old Zhang mocking that beauty, and that beauty obviously has a good relationship with Shen Qiang."

"Yeah, that's more like it. Look at that beautiful officer with skin so soft it's like tofu, and she's beautiful too. Old Zhang had to ridicule her and paid with his life."

Their discussion made a chubby man sitting in another corner sneer.

"This Shen Qiang is truly impressive, surrounded by a cloud of beauties. I never thought that arrogant, Holy Maiden-like mixed-heritage beauty would really like him." The chubby man's face was grim, his lip muscles twitching.

"This means Song Weiyin liking him may also be true." He sneered, raising an eyebrow, and said in a deep voice, "Does being handsome allow one to do whatever they want? Find an opportunity to ruin that face of his for me. Once he turns into an ugly monster, I want to see which beauty can stand him."

An elderly man nearby nodded slightly, "I understand, my lord."

The chubby man snorted coldly and turned to focus on enjoying his meal.

Meanwhile, with the banquet three rounds into the feast, the sweetly attractive mixed-heritage beauty Nalan Tianyu, feeling slightly nervous, poured Shen Qiang a glass of wine. With her fair, slender jade hand, she placed it in front of Shen Qiang, her charming face tinged with red, and said,

"Shen Qiang, this glass is to thank you for standing up for me. Although you didn't say it, I know you had your subordinates kill because of me."

Shen Qiang laughed, taking the glass from her hand, and with a calm smile, said, "Actually, you don't have to thank me. Doing these things was not only for you but more for myself."

Instantly, Nalan Tianyu's beautiful eyes brightened, her light blue pupils filled with a dreamy color, and her heart couldn't help but race.

"If it were other men hearing such words, they would probably boast madly about themselves. Didn't expect Shen Qiang to respond so plainly. Is he trying not to make me owe him a favor?"

Upon hearing Nalan Tianyu wanting to express gratitude, a twin-tailed girl eagerly joined the fun, raising her glass and knocking it against theirs, saying, "Well done. If it weren't for my lack of cultivation, I would have rushed up myself."
