Fury Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1734 - 1737: The True Purpose of the Abyss Matriarch

As dusk fell, in the villa, the stunning actress Song Weiyin, baring her perfectly round, fair legs, wore a loose-fitting white men's shirt, kneeling in the bathroom, attentively polishing the toilet until it gleamed like a mirror.Watching her meticulous and focused expression, her female assistant, utterly helpless, said, "Weiyin, you've already wiped that toilet several times; why won't you tell me what Shen Qiang said to you? Ever since you met him, you've been acting so strange for hours."

Sweat slightly visible on her forehead, Song Weiyin hesitated then shyly smiled, "What do you mean?"

But as she spoke, she still paused her action, sitting sideways on the floor, legs crossed, the flawless loose white shirt subtly highlighting her graceful figure.

"He scolded me," Song Weiyin said with a hint of displeasure.

Her female assistant, a middle-aged female cultivator, was stunned, then said, "What? He scolded you? How could that be? Shen Qiang is a notorious playboy, famous for his greed and lust. Shouldn't he be showering you with attention and granting any requests you have?"

With her rosy pout, Song Weiyin said indignantly, "I initially thought so too, but I was wrong. He asked me if I was embedded with gold or diamonds."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged female assistant burst into laughter.

Song Weiyin froze, "Why are you laughing? Didn't he just imply that I rely on my privileged background?"

The middle-aged female assistant laughed so hard her molars showed, "Silly girl, this gold and diamond question has a story behind it. It goes like this: a man visits a brothel, the courtesan demands a thousand taels, the scholar asks, 'Is she encrusted with diamonds?' The courtesan immediately cuts her price saying, 'Five hundred taels,' and then the scholar asks, 'Is she bordered with gold?'"

Instantly, Song Weiyin's face flushed, "What is this? I thought he meant that I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth. That rascal, where's the demeanor of a King of Demons?"

The middle-aged female assistant laughed, her eyes bent, "Shen Qiang may speak bluntly, yet from certain aspects, typically men maintain a sense of restraint when speaking to outsiders."

"For him to be so outspoken with you, perhaps on some level it's a subconscious recognition and closeness, leading him to behave that way."

Upon hearing this, Song Weiyin adorably furrowed her brows, "Closeness?" Then she said in disbelief, "How is that possible?"

The middle-aged female assistant laughed, "Of course, you don't understand. It's like when you're outside in the cold, and someone hands you a hot drink, cautioning you about burns. What would you say?"

"Thank you," Song Weiyin replied as if it were obvious.

"If it's Grandma handing you a hot drink, warning you against burns, what would you say?" the middle-aged female assistant asked with a smile.

Song Weiyin paused for three seconds, hesitantly saying, "I would say... I know, isn't it annoying?"

The middle-aged female assistant laughed, "That's the difference. With close people, you know they'll forgive you regardless of what you say or whether they get mad. So, when speaking with them, you naturally don't hold back. And typically, Shen Qiang, the King of Demons, wouldn't speak like that to an ordinary friend, yet you're an actress and his restaurant's spokesperson."

Song Weiyin's brows suddenly arched into a smile, surprised, "You're saying he likes me?"

"That seems to be the case," the middle-aged female assistant laughed, "If not, unless he sees you as his enemy and wants to eliminate you, he wouldn't speak to you so bluntly."

Upon hearing this, Song Weiyin's eyes curved into a smile, her exquisite cherry lips forming a proud arc, "No way, Shen Qiang, that guy, although he doesn't quite like me, he wouldn't want to kill me."

The middle-aged female assistant laughed, "Hence, since he doesn't see you as an enemy or wishes to eliminate you, he subconsciously feels close to you, causing him to speak bluntly. If you were just an ordinary friend, he would be much more courteous."

"That does make sense," Song Weiyin adorably opened her eyes and gradually brightened, "But this Shen Qiang is really rude; when he told me to get lost, he didn't even flinch."

The middle-aged female assistant was puzzled, "What exactly did you say to him?"

Song Weiyin adorably, slightly aggrieved, said, "I just told him, I don't have freedom right now; if he joins the Abyss, I'll be free; I begged him for help, but he not only refused to help, he scolded me, told me to get lost, twice even."

The middle-aged female assistant burst into laughter, her eyes curving, "Did you really say that to him?"

"Yes," Song Weiyin replied, her eyes coyly staring at the middle-aged woman, "I've played this kind of role in historical dramas many times, each time after saying such lines, those righteous hero male leads all gallantly declare, 'Don't worry, I'll help you, I won't let them succeed.'"

With her brows furrowed in a miserable eight shape, Song Weiyin said unhappily, "Who could have thought this Shen Qiang would turn hostile instead, what kind of unparalleled hero is he? Not only does he not help, but he also insults me."

The middle-aged female assistant burst into laughter once more, "Weiyin, are you truly foolish or feign ignorance? In the entirety of Heshenghe, from demons to cultivators, hundreds of mouths depend on Shen Qiang to earn a living. One sentence from you, wishing for freedom, and he's supposed to disregard everything for your sake?"

Song Weiyin heard this, displeased, "What's the problem with that? I'm so beautiful, shouldn't he respond to my requests willingly?"

The middle-aged female assistant laughed, her eyes bending, "Silly girl, those who accommodate all your requests have ulterior motives, just like you said, they either want to sleep with you or have you endorse their products, participate in new dramas, or simply take a photo with you to brag about."

"But Shen Qiang is different; he's someone Grandma values. I've followed her for nearly fifty years, and this is the first time seeing her take such interest in a young man. You must realize, within the hidden depths of the Abyss, countless elites and exceptional individuals are abundant, yet Grandma never explicitly proposes recruiting anyone; historically, members are recommended by others, only admitted after passing assessment."

Song Weiyin frowned, unhappily said, "Doesn't that mean Grandma's getting old and her ideas changed?"

The middle-aged female assistant laughed, eyes bending, silent for a moment before speaking with a laugh, "Have you considered that the matter itself seems to have an alternative possibility, after all even if you fail in this, you could simply continue acting, gaining fame, and delivering income to the Abyss, without facing any truly harsh punishment."

Song Weiyin helplessly, with curiosity in her eyes, asked, "Another possibility, you're saying Grandma has other motives?"

The middle-aged female assistant laughed, "Certainly."

"No way?" Song Weiyin hesitated, thinking aloud, "Grandma said, 'Make Shen Qiang fall in love with me, then join the Abyss, and I'll be free,' what other motive could there be?"

The middle-aged female assistant chuckled, with a helpless reminder, "Lovers can not only join the Abyss but also wed."
