Beside him was the sensual and charming Pan iqing, but at this mont, Shen Qiang, who was holding an umbrella, had completely lost interest in taking her on a tour of dicine King Valley. After all, the desire to wear a crown must be matched by the acceptance of its weight—it's an unchanging truth of the ages. To be stronger than others and admired by all, one must endure hardships beyond what others endure.
Thinking you can do nothing and be revered by others is utterly unrealistic.
"After tonight's celebration, I'll return to Heshenghe," Shen Qiang sighed, then turned to look at Pan iqing beside him. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "I'm a bit tired, let's go back to the villa for a rest first."
Not sure what she was thinking of, Pan iqing, who possessed a bombshell level of sensuality, suddenly blushed. Then she hesitantly said, "No, it's not quite right to return to the villa now, there's no one there but the two of us, this..."
Shen Qiang chuckled, turned, and walked calmly saying, "Compared to watching those inexperienced alchemists being amazed at my Elixir Pills, I'd much prefer so quiet ti myself. If you truly don't want to go back to the villa, I won't force you."
Watching Shen Qiang walk away without paying her any mind.
Pan iqing, with her bombshell level of sensuality, frowned slightly and hurriedly followed, saying, "Why are you like this, shouldn't you be coaxing ?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang turned his head and smiled, saying, "Of course, I can coax you, but only when I'm in a good mood, understand? As I said, I don't mind thinking about you, but before that, I'll be a bit selfish."
Seeing Shen Qiang's smile, Pan iqing hesitated for a mont, then said sulkily, "A man should have grace."
Shen Qiang laughed and said, "Don't joke, please. Do you really believe a person with not a shred of selfishness would treat others selflessly? Don't be ridiculous; that kind of person doesn't even love themselves, how could they love others?"
Instantly, Pan iqing was taken aback, instinctively walking beside Shen Qiang and said reflectively, "That's so true; a person who doesn't love themselves, how could they love others..."
Shen Qiang smiled: "Mm, exactly, so when I'm in a good mood, I'll indulge you as much as I can, but when I'm preoccupied, don't expect to forget everything just to coax you, because if I did, you'd be disappointed, and I'd be annoyed."
Looking at Shen Qiang's serious gaze, Pan iqing suddenly blushed and giggled, then glancing around with glittering eyes, she turned to him and softly said, "Then, when you're in a bad mood, how about I co and cheer you up?"
Shen Qiang laughed: "Sure, go ahead and act like a gorilla for , like in the cody skits, because I always feel happy when I see a beauty perform this."
Pan iqing blushed, flirtatiously rolled her eyes and said, "I want to cheer you up, but I'm not stupid. What do you an you're happy seeing a beauty act like a gorilla? You're clearly trying to make embarrass myself. After all, I'm a Dao Fruit Stage cultivator; if I really did this, I'd lose face."
Shen Qiang feigned displeasure, saying, "Sothing so simple you won't do for —your attempt at cheering up lacks sincerity."
On hearing this, Pan iqing's face turned red, truly believing Shen Qiang was angry, she hastily said, "Fine, fine, I'll do it if it makes you happy."
With that, the shy Pan iqing braced herself and made up her mind.
But just as she was about to mimic, Shen Qiang, eyes sparkling with laughter, suddenly held her hand and chuckled, "Silly girl, you just said you're not stupid, now why are you being so silly."
On hearing this, Pan iqing's face reddened to the nape of her neck, then in embarrassnt and urgency, she teasingly said, "Ah? I was just trying to make you happy!"
Seeing her a bit annoyed.
Shen Qiang instantly reigned in his smile, looking at her earnestly, then gently spoke while walking with her towards the villa, "Don't be mad, I'm only joking. You trying to cheer up by mimicking a gorilla truly moves deeply, it's enough that you intend to, I won't force you to actually do it."
Pan iqing, unaccustod to Shen Qiang's hot-and-cold deanor, was bewildered.
Staring blankly at Shen Qiang, she suddenly frowned, "Are you starting to coax ?"
Shen Qiang smiled: "Of course, because you've cheered up, now that I'm happy, naturally it's ti for to reciprocate."
Instantly, Pan iqing cracked a smile, her white teeth shining brightly even amidst the drizzling rain.
"Alright, then cheer up," Pan iqing flirtatiously said.
Shen Qiang laughed and said, "I won't cheer you up."
Pan iqing was stunned, simultaneously Shen Qiang smiled: "Because I'll put all my effort into loving you."
Instantly, Pan iqing smiled, eye crescented with delight, "Oh, you're teasing , I don't believe your nonsense."
Shen Qiang smiled at her. At this mont, her smile was bright and joyful, exuding a charm that was inexplicably ordinary amidst the drizzle.
It surprisingly reminded Shen Qiang of those high school days, of the cheerful female classmates.
Back then, they would inexplicably laugh for no reason.
Yet, at that ti, Shen Qiang didn't understand that being with soone you like, even the most awkward joke can be incredibly amusing.
Clearly, the vibrant smile wasn't because Shen Qiang's words were wonderfully touching, but simply because she liked Shen Qiang; otherwise, had soone else spoken the sa words, Pan iqing would likely have reacted with a cold, sarcastic retort.
"You're truly beautiful." Shen Qiang sincerely said while watching the crescent-eyed smile of the vibrant beauty.
This statent suddenly made her blush adorably as she mischievously retorted, "Shoo!"
Shen Qiang smiled, quietly watching her charming deanor, then reached out to gently hold the hand of the person walking beside him.
Her jade-like hand trembled as if electrified.
Yet a mont later, she let Shen Qiang hold it, as if her arm had lost control.
With a smile, Shen Qiang tightened his grip on her warm, soft hand, walking with the umbrella, he led her back to the villa.
During the entire journey, neither said a word.
He hung the umbrella in the porch.
Enter the house, Shen Qiang did not release Pan iqing's palm which was sweat-drenched.
He faced her, towering from above, looking at her nervous yet charming eyes, softly said, "iqing, accompanying , and I will protect you for life."
With that, in the midst of her startled gaze, Shen Qiang turned, quietly approached, amidst the faint fragrance, kissed her lips.
