The bright moonlight cast its glow on the delicate beauty of Nalan Tianyu, making the blush on her flawless, charming face shine with the radiance of love.
Shen Qiang quietly watched her.
Under the moonlight, her snow-white military uniform was spotless, and the graceful curves of her pure white high-heeled boots accentuated her slender and straight calves.
She belongs to the Undying Phoenix Clan.
Strictly speaking, she should be considered a half-demon.
But her appearance resembles a mixed-blood beauty with Huaxia ancestry.
Her pale skin surpasses that of many won, her light blue eyes, upon closer inspection, are as enchanting as the Milky Way, her nose is elegantly curved, her delicate lips are petite yet well-defined, possessing an exotic charm in her beauty, yet beneath her delicate exterior, there lies the classical grace of an Eastern beauty.
This sight made Shen Qiang reach out, gently placing his hand on her long, fair hand, which under the moonlight was as white and tender as her uniform.
Her delicate body trembled.
She seed a bit shy and wanted to withdraw her hand, but when her beautiful eyes t Shen Qiang's gentle gaze, her eyes sparkled, and she seed too shy to et his gaze, turning her head slightly as if fearing punishnt.
"You are truly beautiful!" Shen Qiang softly said, "If you wish to wander the ends of the earth with , I will not disappoint the heavens, nor you."
These words filled Nalan Tianyu's beautiful eyes with surprise and joy.
As she turned her head, she saw that Shen Qiang had already stood up and was looking at her with bright, piercing eyes.
This made her charming face inexplicably red as if dripping blood, and she was too embarrassed to look up.
Gently holding her hand, Shen Qiang softly said, "If you find my promise lacking in specifics, I can vow to love you until I can't breathe, to stay with you until the end of ti."
Hearing this, the shy Nalan Tianyu lifted her head, her beautiful eyes bashfully looking at him. As Shen Qiang lightly pulled her up, she cooperated willingly, and after looking at Shen Qiang for a long ti, she bashfully but joyfully said, "I do not need your superfluous promises; I only need to know that you will stand up for when I need you, to shield from the storm!"
Boom!
He pulled her into an embrace.
Feeling her trembling heartbeat in the cool night breeze, the gentle warmth of her body, and slling the faint refreshing fragrance like orchids in an empty valley, Shen Qiang slowly leaned in and softly said, "Let's make it a promise—for a lifeti."
Hmm!
Her beautiful eyes sparkled with joy as she nodded firmly.
And while Shen Qiang and Nalan Tianyu tightly embraced each other, in the dicine King Inn, many cultivators were sitting in the banquet hall due to the need for reorganization.
"A hero is angered for the beauty, but the Great Sea Demon is a legendary great demon; why would he draw weapons with Shen Qiang? Shen Qiang once threatened him; that was a small matter. If he truly wanted to kill Shen Qiang over a threat, would he have waited until now?" a stout man with a beard said, glaring.
"Then why do you think so?" A young man beside him asked, surprised.
The bearded man laughed, raised his eyebrows smugly, and said, "Fool, didn't I just say it? The hero is angered for a beauty. I was not far away drinking tea, close enough to hear clearly. The reason the Great Sea Demon wanted to kill Shen Qiang was that the mixed-blood beauty Nalan Tianyu wanted to invite Shen Qiang to her room for tea."
The young cultivator was shocked: "Is it just for tea?"
An old Daoist beside them chuckled and said, "Young man, I see you're kind-hearted and know you're a good person, but you're a bit dense. Previously, that Shen Qiang and the beautiful mixed-blood lady already had tea together, and it's already late. At this ti, do you think they are actually having tea in the room?"
"Coffee? Wine?" The young man still seed puzzled.
The cultivators burst into laughter.
"The intention of the tipsy man is not in the wine; the so-called tea is just an excuse; the true intent is to stay the night with Shen Qiang."
"You foolish boy, have you read yourself into foolishness? A man and a woman alone, with flowers and moonlight, chatting until almost ten at night, and you think it ans just going inside for tea?"
Amid the laughter, the young cultivator felt embarrassed.
But the others didn't care at all. Seeing his silence, a clean-faced, beardless cultivator beside him sighed and said:
"From ancient tis, heroes are paired with beauties. That female officer, with a face as lovely as the lunar Chang'e, and powerful cultivation and exceptional temperant. If she weren't from the Dragon Group but from another family, her fa would certainly not be less than the three goddesses of the Cultivation World."
"Yeah, in terms of looks, figure, temperant, this Nalan Tianyu is no less than the Jade Girl of the Hundred Flowers, Qian Dai."
"Shen Qiang is simply despicable and shaless!" a young man said, glaring with anger, slamming the table.
As soon as he finished speaking.
The bearded man coldly said, "Enough, Shen Qiang is despicable and shaless just by going to sleep with Miss Nalan? What you said is a bit disgraceful. Let tell you, there are countless n and won who play love gas, but how many are willing to risk their lives for their woman?"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreent.
"Even though I'm also very jealous, in all fairness, I truly don't have the guts to confront the Great Sea Demon!"
"Exactly, oh, do you think the lady is a fool? Would she choose you, who only slams tables and shouts 'shaless,' over Shen Qiang, who dares to shield her from wind and rain and clear obstacles for her?"
The young man who slamd the table imdiately fell silent.
Seeing the gloomy atmosphere, the clean-faced, beardless cultivator frowned and sighed, then he seriously said, "The Thirty-two Skillful Hands are of the sa branch; even though I don't know if I should say this, in the past, everyone always said that Shen Qiang was crooked and unworthy of entering the alchemist's circle."
"I think that's right. As distinguished alchemists, we hold a superior position in the Cultivation World, respected wherever we go. Allowing a demon to mix in indeed would be disgraceful."
"But now..." The clean-faced cultivator murmured thoughtfully, "On the contrary, I think Shen Qiang is a person of character, fierce and resolute, so perhaps he wouldn't disgrace the alchemist's reputation, so perhaps..."
"Absurd!" Before the clean-faced cultivator could finish, an elder sitting on the side sternly interrupted, "For thousands of years, alchemists have been respected because of dical skill and elixir pills, not because of fists and knives."
"I admit that Shen Qiang is a good man, but the crucial issue is, can one beco an alchemist simply by being able to fight and having courage?"
The clean-faced, beardless middle-aged cultivator furrowed his brow at these words and said, "You can't say that. Shen Qiang won the Dan Fighting against Yu Xinghuo, an indisputable fact. His dical skill also passed the test, so..."
"So what?" The elder coldly raised his eyebrows and said, "If Shen Qiang were from a noble family, I naturally wouldn't mind having such a junior disciple. But what about him? He's just a rogue with no manners, doesn't even greet us as seniors, and yet with his cocky attitude, he thinks he can join our circle? Does he even deserve it?"
