Chapter 1607 - 1610: The Enchanting Young Lady Who Insists She Will Never Fall for Shen Qiang (Fifth Update)
The middle-aged woman smiled as she looked at Mirage Qi Meng, dressed in a cheongsam with a graceful and charming figure, her expression saying "just as expected." As she spoke, the graceful Mirage Qi Meng suddenly stopped in surprise, her beautiful eyes wide with shock, and the rosy cherry lips trembled slightly, leaving her speechless."What's wrong with me? Why do I care so much about that bastard Shen Qiang? Could it be that, as she said, I'm actually falling for Shen Qiang? Impossible, why didn't I realize it at all."
Her beautiful eyes were wide with disbelief as she explained, "It's not like you think. I absolutely can't fall in love with Shen Qiang! He's the Dragon Group's security advisor, a police officer in the Cultivation World! And I'm someone from the Bounty Hunter platform, a Broker who disregards justice for money. We come from two different worlds, so there's no way we can be together, and that's why I definitely won't..."
"Miss," the middle-aged woman interrupted, stood up, and then smiled, "Matters of the heart are beyond anyone's control. Often, when faced with emotions, people clearly understand what they're doing is wrong, yet they still can't control themselves. So in matters like this, it's best to let nature take its course."
"But whether it's true love or mere curiosity, I hope Miss will prioritize herself and Mirage."
With that, she smiled at the graceful Qi Meng and stood up to leave.
Once she left, the graceful Mirage Qi Meng kicked off her shoes and languidly lay across the sofa. She then took a small mirror from the Storage Ring, gazing at the faint blush on her face, which was as stunning as any celebrity known for their beauty.
Her rosy, moist cherry lips gently parted as she softly murmured, "You like Shen Qiang? Impossible. Do you hate him? It seems not..."
This realization suddenly made her tense, and she took a deep breath before her beautiful eyes opened wide, bursting with energy as she fiercely declared.
"Remember, you're a Broker, he's a policeman, you come from different worlds. Track his movements, and if he threatens the Hunter platform, eliminate him!"
Having made her decision, her expression suddenly softened, with a beautiful, serene smile on her face as she stretched languidly, her elegant figure blossoming like a seductive flower.
At two-thirty in the afternoon.
In Xiang Qianmeng's villa.
After a thorough cleaning, the house, which no longer carried any trace of death, was already filled with Cultivators, standing in small groups.
"I apologize for the poor hospitality, apologize for the poor hospitality. Dear friends, please forgive me. Not only did all six dogs I kept in the house die last night, but my housekeeper also vanished without a trace. I have no idea if she has been harmed," Xiang Qianmeng said anxiously.
Standing by his side, several Cultivators with a righteous presence sighed.
"Though we don't know what kind of Demon this Nightmare is, judging from the method, Master Xiang's housekeeper is likely to have been harmed."
"This thief is heinous, daring to attack several dogs and the defenseless housekeeper while Master Xiang was away, it's truly unforgivable!"
"Master Xiang is noble and righteous, always lending his assistance when fellow practitioners are in trouble, yet someone dared to target you. This Nightmare must be killed."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Qianmeng sighed, "The kindness of you brothers, coming from afar to aid me, is something I will never forget. However, with heaven's benevolence toward all life, I currently don't wish to kill this Nightmare. I just want to find him. If he can spare my housekeeper who's been with me for five years, I'm willing to let bygones be bygones."
Several elderly Cultivators, known for their righteous spirit and Immortal Wind Bone demeanor, sighed.
"Master Xiang indeed has a compassionate heart, but this evildoer, with his cruel methods, may not spare you even if you're willing to let him go."
"Alas, people's hearts have grown cold; for money, they disregard everything."
"Indeed, an innocent man has no guilt, but possessing a treasure makes him guilty. It's hard to believe someone as kind-hearted as you, Master Xiang, would be targeted by an Assassin for three million dollars. If we let him run rampant, is there any justice left in this world? Rest assured, Master Xiang, with us here, no one will harm you."
Xiang Qianmeng sighed, though there was a sudden flicker of mockery in his eyes.
At the same time, an approximately fifty-year-old Cultivator approached, wiping his hands as he spoke, "I've carefully checked those six dogs. Although there's always been talk in the Cultivation World that Nightmare from the Bounty Hunter platform is actually King of Demons Shen Qiang, unfortunately, the way these six dogs were killed doesn't match his usual methods."
Everyone was perplexed.
"Brother Wu, please enlighten us," Xiang Qianmeng hurriedly requested.
"Shen Qiang rarely kills, but from past experience, Shen Qiang's killings have two distinct marks: one being the Surgical Knife and the other bacteria. However, none of these six dogs died that way. They were simply destroyed by external force, damaging their brains instantly."
"Moreover, I find it strange that unless this Nightmare is a lunatic, I suspect they might actually be a young girl."
Instantly, everyone present was stunned.
"How is that possible?"
Upon hearing the old man's analysis, everyone was filled with disbelief.
Meanwhile, the old man smiled, "It's really hard to believe, but very strange indeed. Each dog ate sweet osmanthus cake before dying, which seemed to suggest she was reluctant yet forced to act, so she gave them her favorite food."
Everyone was puzzled.
At this moment.
As a luxury sedan pulled up at the entrance, a Cultivator rushed into the courtyard, saying, "Master, Ji Liangchuan of Long Chang, Prince Ji is here, accompanied by the formidable Gan Yun from Long Chang. Please see..."
"Quickly, welcome them!" Xiang Qianmeng's eyes brightened, and he hurriedly stepped out.
Once at the door, he immediately saw the near two-meter-tall, handsome Ji Liangchuan not only alighted from the car but also walked toward the courtyard. Xiang Qianmeng's eyes gleamed as he swiftly greeted him with cupped hands, "Prince, I didn't expect to see how you've turned out so dashing since our last meeting years ago. Please, come inside. I never imagined my little trouble would alarm such a distinguished guest."
Upon hearing this, Ji Liangchuan smiled, "There's no need for such formality, Uncle Xiang. My father often says that you, Uncle Xiang, are one of the people he most admires in the Cultivation World. Upon hearing of your crisis, my father intended to come immediately, but he was caught up in family affairs. So I volunteered to come to assist you, and fortunately, my father agreed. I hope you won't think small of such little help from your nephew."
Xiang Qianmeng laughed heartily, "You're being overly modest, Prince Ji. Your reputation is widely known; please come inside quickly."
Ji Liangchuan smiled and proceeded inside. At almost the same time, as another vehicle arrived, a young man alighted, and with a bright look in his eyes, addressed Xiang Qianmeng cheerfully, "Yan Xianghui of the Cultivation World's Five Tiger sends greetings to Uncle Qianmeng!"
