Chapter 1800 - 1803: The Half-Blood Beauty Nalan Tianyu Welcomes with Open Arms (Fifth Update)
The many cultivators in the banquet hall looked incredulously at the Medicine King Valley Master, who spoke casually. Especially Nalan Tianyu, a mixed-race beauty with graceful curves and a hint of exotic charm, sitting across from Shen Qiang, furrowed her brows slightly, sensing something amiss.Because what the Medicine King Valley Master said seemed reasonable at first glance. Zhang Daoist had smeared Shen Qiang's reputation behind his back, and upon meeting, directly provoked him. Any cultivator wouldn't tolerate such behavior. However, in the Cultivation World, there's a saying: "Even a strong dragon can't suppress a local snake."
This is Medicine King Valley, where the true master is the Valley Master. Shen Qiang and Zhang Daoist are both guests here, and no matter the reason, it's disrespectful for guests to start fighting at their host's place. In this scenario, the earlier act of the host's supervisor seemed more appropriate.
"By logic, Medicine King Valley shouldn't intervene now. Is he here to support Shen Qiang?"
The exquisite Nalan Tianyu found it increasingly perplexing.
And she wasn't the only one baffled; many cultivators present were equally dumbfounded.
Because in the Cultivation World, the biggest taboo for a guest is to draw swords and fight, yet Shen Qiang not only fought but cleanly killed the person.
Yet, the host wasn't angry at all and was instead smiling at Shen Qiang, which seemed utterly unimaginable.
So, everyone present fell silent, merely contemplating the Medicine King Valley Master.
"Hiss, hiss."
While everyone silently pondered, a twin-tailed girl motioned to Nalan Tianyu with her lips, hinting softly.
In her pure white military attire, the stunning Nalan Tianyu glanced at the twin-tailed girl's expression and followed her gaze to the back door of the dining room. There she saw a perfect figure, dressed in a white dress, a peerlessly beautiful woman hiding half-concealed, gazing shyly at Shen Qiang.
It was Qin Yurou, the Young Master of Medicine King Valley!
Ranked seventy-third on the top alchemists list!
The biological daughter of the Medicine King Valley Master.
Nalan Tianyu's lips curled into a smile, and not only did her charming lips reveal a smile, her eyes also showed she had seen through everything.
Moreover, she was surprised to find that when Qin Yurou noticed Nalan Tianyu had spotted her, instead of displaying hostility, she bashfully and panic-stricken fled.
This made her involuntarily smile.
Meanwhile, seeing Qin Yurou shyly running away, Shen Qiang smiled, and when the people in the dining room remained silent, Shen Qiang calmly said, "If that's the case, thank you, Valley Master, please start the banquet."
Hearing this, the Medicine King Valley Master smiled and said, "Since everyone has agreed, let's start the banquet; we'll talk pleasantries tomorrow."
With that, nodding slightly to everyone present, the Medicine King Valley Master turned to leave.
Instantly, the hall filled with dumbfounded cultivators.
"What does he mean? Just because Shen Qiang spoke, everyone agreed?"
"Is the Medicine King Valley Master here just to smooth things over for Shen Qiang? That's impossible, isn't it? How could a person of such transcendent status care about Shen Qiang?"
"It's so odd; speaking of young talents, Lin Fenghang and Chu Xiaotian on the top alchemist list are clearly more outstanding."
Many cultivators were dumbfounded, and the Great Sea Demon King and the plump man in the corner were also puzzled, not understanding what was going on.
But they were all sure of one thing: the Medicine King Valley Master was indulging Shen Qiang, which was very odd.
The Medicine King Valley banquet began to serve dishes.
Shen Qiang, Nalan Tianyu, the twin-tailed girl, Ye Guyun, Ke Bizhu, and the luscious purple woman with the tank-like sex appeal sat at one table.
As dishes were being served.
The table needed to be tidied up.
Shen Qiang noticed a box of chocolate on the table.
This made Shen Qiang smile as he said to Nalan Tianyu, "Do you really like eating chocolate?"
The stunning Nalan Tianyu hesitated, then shook her head, "I don't really care for sweets."
"Oh, so this is yours?" Shen Qiang casually handed the beautifully wrapped box of chocolate to the twin-tailed girl.
She pouted, "It's not mine; the bald uncle gave it to the Chief. He also said... said..."
Seeing Nalan Tianyu's look telling her to be quiet, the wide-eyed twin-tailed girl stopped speaking.
Shen Qiang smiled, glanced at the Great Sea Demon King, then coldly said, "You don't need to say it, I already know that guy was certainly proposing to Nalan the Chief."
Hearing this, the wide-eyed twin-tailed girl froze for a moment, then laughed, "Shen Qiang, you're trying to catch me off guard."
Shen Qiang chuckled, calmly raised his eyebrows, looked at the box of chocolate, and said, "I'm not trying to catch you off guard, but seeing this box of chocolate, I already knew. Because for doctors, this is very simple. Chocolate contains dopamine and serotonin, and when people fall in love, the brain also produces dopamine."
"So when eating chocolate, it's easy to feel an emotion similar to love, which can counteract depression. Therefore, sometimes doctors use chocolate as a mild antidepressant medicine."
As he spoke.
Shen Qiang handed the chocolate to Ye Guyun and then with a smile said among the astonished looks of the women, "So generally speaking, if eating chocolate with someone you fancy, you often get a strange and wonderful feeling akin to being in love."
"That's also why on Valentine's Day, gifts are roses and chocolates, so if that bald scoundrel wasn't proposing, he wouldn't give you chocolate."
Hearing this, the twin-tailed girl froze for a moment, then said anxiously, "Then why aren't you throwing it away, but giving it..."
"It's okay," Shen Qiang smiled, "I believe that bald scoundrel wouldn't stoop to slipping drugs, so not only is this a box of chocolate, but it should be very good chocolate. If you like it, you can share and eat it, it's okay."
"Of course, if you're worried about falling in love with that bald guy after eating it, you can eat it while with me."
Instantly, the twin-tailed girl and Nalan Tianyu both smiled.
"Hmph, narcissist, who would want to eat chocolate with you?" The wide-eyed twin-tailed girl smiled, "You look so ugly, what if after eating chocolate I find you handsome?"
Looking at her deliberately mocking smile, Shen Qiang chuckled indulgently, "Alright, then you can go to sleep early tonight."
The wide-eyed twin-tailed girl, surprised, asked, "What do you mean?"
"Because I'm going to have a candlelit chat with your Chief," Shen Qiang smiled.
Suddenly, Nalan Tianyu's face as pure as jade turned crimson red. Though a bit uneasy, she pretended to be composed and said, "Alright, if you'd like to chat, my door is open."
