"Sea Emperor Clan?" Shen Qiang looked at Wenren iqiao, who was curling up like a clever little cat, in astonishnt and said, "You told the location of the Divine corpse earlier to set a trap to kill ?"
Wenren iqiao took a deep breath and then raised her eyebrows, saying, "I don't even know what I was thinking. I just know you want to find the Divine corpse, and then I got worried you were using to find out about it, so I decided to give you the coordinates."
"If you had discussed it with when you went seeking the Divine corpse, I'd have told you about the Sea Emperor Clan, you wouldn't be in trouble. But if you got the info and ran off, then you would die. It's as I wanted, letting them avenge ."
Shen Qiang stared wide-eyed at Wenren iqiao in his arms, who pouted, clearly thinking, "That's just how I feel, deal with it," and sincerely praised her, "So vicious, truly living up to the saying that the most venomous thing is a woman's heart. If I were only deceiving you about the Divine corpse's whereabouts, I would foolishly go seeking it and end up dead, right?"
Upon hearing this, Wenren iqiao humd charmingly, raising an eyebrow with a smile, "You can't bla ; you were such a jerk. As the saying goes, the tiger gives no thought to harming people, but people certainly have the intent to harm the tiger. Who knew if you truly wanted to be with ."
Shen Qiang laughed, sighing, "Indeed, good deeds bring rewards. If I hadn't promised to send you to Baihua Palace for study, would you have told about the Sea Emperor Clan?"
"Maybe yes, maybe no." Wenren iqiao replied with a playful smile, "I don't know. I myself am unsure whether I should be with you. Yet sohow, I chose to invite you upstairs for tea, and then..."
She sighed and said, "I foolishly got involved with you physically."
Shen Qiang smiled, "Dear, your words seem a bit hypocritical. I think you had it all planned out. Especially hiding the key information was quite skillful. If I foolishly thought I succeeded and went for the Divine corpse, wouldn't I be walking into a death trap?"
Wenren iqiao glared charmingly at Shen Qiang, then laughed, "Well, that's not my problem. And don't underestimate . In the Dragon Group, through all the tactical assessnts, I've always scored superior. So if you dare deceive or bully , be careful; I will show you the might of a seductress."
Shen Qiang laughed, "Alright then, dear, since you've confessed, I'll forgive your little tricks. But honestly, the Divine corpse is very important to both Qingxuan and , so what exactly is the Sea Emperor Clan?"
"Neptune, or Poseidon, the mythical Sea God. I haven't seen him, and the family records aren't very detailed, but his strength is unquestionable. I've researched that Poseidon once made a bet with Wisdom Goddess Athena over the control of a city."
"But he lost, so by normal reasoning, he and Athena should be enemies. Yet according to ancestral records, this Sea Emperor Clan guards Athena's Divine corpse. In the water, they're nearly invincible. Even with Dao Fruit Stage cultivation, you can't expect to take the Divine corpse from them."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang raised his sword-like eyebrows, smiling at Wenren iqiao, "Dear, you're really not straightforward, selling the mystery when you say 'nearly invincible' doesn't an invincible. Hearing you say this, I suddenly feel you've possibly withheld sothing."
Looking at Shen Qiang, Wenren iqiao burst into laughter, replying, "You're quite clever, sharper than a monkey. Ever read the Classic of Mountains and Seas?"
Shen Qiang shook his head.
Wenren iqiao laughed, "Ha, didn't you brag about knowing astronomy and geography? Now you're stuck? Ever heard of the Four Sea Dragon Kings?"
"I've read Journey to the West." Shen Qiang raised his eyebrows at Wenren iqiao.
Wenren iqiao smiled, "The Four Sea Dragon Kings don't really exist, but within Huaxia's sea borders, there's indeed a near-divine existence. Known in the Cultivation World as the Great Sea Demon, according to so ancient texts, he should be a descendant of the Yellow Emperor—Yu Jiang."
Shen Qiang was sowhat bewildered and then frowned, "You an I need the Great Sea Demon's help to get the Divine corpse?"
Wenren iqiao laughed, "Do you think you can fight against a legendary Sea God underwater? Do you have a Secret Technique for that?"
"Not practical." Shen Qiang shook his head, "Firstly, I don't know any Great Sea Demon. Secondly, even if I did, it wouldn't help. He wouldn't provoke the Sea Emperor Clan for petty gains because there will be casualties. God or no god, people will die; he won't take on such costs for ."
Seeing Shen Qiang's solemn expression, Wenren iqiao smiled, "I had nothing to do with you before, but now we're involved, aren't we?"
Shen Qiang smiled wryly at this, "Are you suggesting the Great Sea Demon is female? Are you asking to sleep with her? What nonsense! I am a noble person, understand? Upright, unaffected by temptations, with integrity, able to reveal the realm of clarity and fairness."
Wenren iqiao laughed, her eyes narrowing, "Keep bragging, and I'll lift the quilt."
Shen Qiang smiled and winked at Wenren iqiao, then said, "Everything I said is true, just because dear is captivating enough to make lose control. If it were soone else, I'd just ignore her."
Wenren iqiao laughed, eyes narrowed, "Keep spinning your tales. I don't believe a word of it. However, so you can't say I'm not helping you, I'll point you in the right direction. It's tough to connect with the Great Sea Demon elsewhere, but not in Beijing."
Shen Qiang suddenly sat up, staring at Wenren iqiao in shock, "The Great Sea Demon in Beijing? How is that possible when there's no sea here?"
Seeing Shen Qiang's shock, Wenren iqiao gave him a charming glare, then laid him back down, resting her head on Shen Qiang's shoulder. With her slender, fair hand, she gently caressed Shen Qiang's cheek.
"The Great Sea Demon isn't in Beijing, but he has a connection here."
"Really?" Shen Qiang's eyes glinted, "So does that an I just need to find this person to relay my intentions to the Great Sea Demon?"
Wenren iqiao nodded, "But she's hard to talk to, very arrogant. However, you're so clever; it might not necessarily be difficult to contact her."
"Where is she?" Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow and smiled, "There's nothing in this world that an imperial bath package can't solve. If there is, then two packages should do."
Wenren iqiao burst into laughter, "Are you spouting nonsense? She's a woman, opened a bar in Beijing called 'Listening to the Waves,' and her na is Jinli Qianning."
