The charming Wenren iqiao's eyes were filled with pride, and as soon as she heard Wenren iqiao say, "If you can dig it out, I lose," Shen Qiang's heart skipped a beat, instantly guessing the truth.
"The Divine Corpse is in the water!"
Shen Qiang's thoughts were crystal clear because, as the security advisor for the Dragon Group, the Heshenghe boss, and the King of Demons in the cultivation world, given enough ti, with Shen Qiang's resources and the nurous little demons under his command, he could indeed search every inch of land.
Although it might take decades, even centuries, if Shen Qiang was determined to do this, all the cultivators would understand that Shen Qiang had that capability.
With such confidence, Wenren iqiao stated without even thinking that if Shen Qiang could dig out the Divine Corpse, she would admit defeat. That ant the Divine Corpse wasn't in the ancient tomb or on land but in the water.
Because evidently, Earth has gravity, and with today's rapidly advancing technology, if she had said the Divine Corpse was in another galaxy, Shen Qiang might have considered the possibility.
But the sky clearly couldn't hold a crystal coffin and a Divine Corpse. If it were an extraterrestrial legend, Wenren iqiao would not have taken it seriously. So, the only possibility is that the Divine Corpse is at the bottom of so body of water.
This is the most likely scenario and also the most complex one.
Because 71% of Earth's surface is ocean, and adding the lakes and rivers on land, the area covered by water is about 360 million square kiloters. Finding a crystal coffin and a Divine Corpse in such vast waters is undoubtedly like finding a needle in a haystack.
Just as Shen Qiang was frowning in thought, Wenren iqiao, suddenly realizing she had let sothing slip, beca furious, saying, "Despicable, shaless! You're tricking again? How can there be soone as despicable as you in the world? You stop at nothing to achieve your goals? Where is your bottom line?"
Shen Qiang laughed, raised an eyebrow casually: "I'm not too sure about the bottom line, but I am wearing two pairs of briefs. In fact, I already knew the Divine Corpse was in the water. I was just joking to test you. This is definitely not a trick—just a light-hearted jest."
Hearing this, Wenren iqiao fud, "Shen Qiang, do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Do you think I'd believe you know where the Divine Corpse is?"
Shen Qiang smiled slightly and raised an eyebrow, "I really do know. The Divine Corpse is actually buried beneath the rushing rivers, sothing even a three-year-old would know."
"Nonsense!" Wenren iqiao raged, "The Divine Corpse clearly..."
Bam!
At the critical mont, Wenren iqiao, driven by instinct, clasped her mouth tightly with her jade-like hand. Then, looking at Shen Qiang with eyes both bright and tearful, she began to appear slightly misty with grievance.
Sure enough, Wenren iqiao responded quickly; using the sa trick only for the third ti, she realized it in a critical mont, covering her mouth to stay silent.
This is a bit troubleso.
In fact, people are like this: when others give a wrong answer, people instinctively want to refute it by offering the right one.
So, by using the wrong answer to make others correct you with the right one, Shen Qiang has used this technique for many years, always effectively, because it exploits a bug created by the creator within humanity. As long as he knows the true answer, when he sees others flaunt their superiority with the wrong answer in front of him, anyone lacking superior intelligence and unable to suppress this instinct will imdiately correct them.
Clearly, Wenren iqiao is no ordinary person. In her extre anger, she restrained from correcting Shen Qiang's thinking.
This left Shen Qiang sowhat disappointed.
At the sa ti, he couldn't help but regard Wenren iqiao with a higher level of respect.
After all, the asure of soone's capability is often reflected in their opponents; Wenren iqiao's opponent was the formidable Qian Shanxue, so naturally, she wouldn't be weak herself. The sole pity was that the winner takes all, and her brilliance was overshadowed by Qian Shanxue.
Because people often only see her failures, ignoring the fact that among the Dragon Group's combat team, there are thousands of elites who do not even have the courage to compete with Qian Shanxue.
But at this mont, seeing her expression, seemingly about to explode from grievance, filled with both anger and sorrow, Shen Qiang felt a bit awkward as well.
In fact, if Wenren iqiao hadn't adamantly refused to reveal the whereabouts of the Divine Corpse, Shen Qiang wouldn't have had to use such rhetoric to trick Wenren iqiao, so in this situation, he was sowhat forced.
But resolving this awkwardness probably couldn't be achieved quickly or easily.
While pondering this, the food delivery arrived.
Wenren iqiao, extrely aggrieved, accepted the delivered lunch with teary eyes, not saying a word to Shen Qiang, simply opening the al box in silence. Shen Qiang was surprised to see that Wenren iqiao indeed lived up to her reputation.
Lunch consisted of four at dishes, a plate of Russian-style pickles, a plate of pickled peppers, plus two boxes of rice.
Although watching her superior, full of grievance with tears in her eyes, Wenren iqiao's female subordinate casually gave Shen Qiang the sa lunch as Wenren iqiao.
She opened it on the coffee table.
Shen Qiang ate while observing Wenren iqiao, noticing that she was crying in anger while stuffing her mouth with at, as if the angrier and more aggrieved she was, the more she had to eat.
"It's indeed as Qing Xie said: In Wenren iqiao's eyes, at is justice. In that case, by catering to her preferences, I think I can still resolve this."
Gazing at the four boxes of at dishes, Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow slightly, lamb ribs stewed with radish, braised pork hock, pork belly, plus fried pork belly, alongside two boxes of rice—quite a sizeable al. But considering Wenren iqiao's height over 1.7 ters and her peak Mixed Elent Realm cultivation, eating this much was not excessive. Compared to Qian Shanxue, she was sowhat delicate.
Observing the tearful yet silently at-eating Wenren iqiao, Shen Qiang hesitated for a mont and said, "Um…"
"Don't talk to , finish your al and leave imdiately, never co back!"
Watching Wenren iqiao's cold gaze with tears rolling down her charming face, Shen Qiang felt inexplicably guilty, hesitated a mont, and opened his mouth to speak.
But Wenren iqiao flared up, yelling hysterically and irrationally, "I said, don't talk to !"
Her female subordinate nearby felt awkward, giving Shen Qiang an apologetic look before sitting to eat by herself.
This left Shen Qiang helpless. He then stood up, walked over to Wenren iqiao's desk, and smiled, "Alright, perhaps what I said earlier has upset you."
"Yes, very upset!" Wenren iqiao corrected.
Shen Qiang laughed, bringing over his four boxes of dishes, setting them on the table, "Alright then, to show so semblance of apology, you can take one piece of at from , as a token of my apology, hmm, but only one piece."
Hearing this, the extrely wronged Wenren iqiao, whose heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys all ached, instantly picked up the only two pieces of fried pork belly from Shen Qiang's lunchbox with her chopsticks, chewing with grievance, "I'm not inviting you to lunch anymore, these are all mine. You should leave now!"
