Chapter 1880 - 1883: I'm Here to Take First Place
Early the next morning, as the first light of dawn illuminated the window curtains, Shen Qiang opened his eyes and immediately saw the enchanting figure of Weisheng Zhimei lying beside him, playing on her tablet. Seeing Shen Qiang wake up and look at her, her pretty face flushed for no reason."Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Shen Qiang turned over and held her in his arms.
Her pretty face blushed with happiness as she coquettishly said, "Little Qiang Qiang, do you think I don't want to? But who asked you to snore so loudly? It was like a train passing by; how could anyone sleep?"
Hearing this, Shen Qiang, still drowsy, laughed and said, "Snoring? Impossible, that's not true."
Weisheng Zhimei pouted, stared coquettishly at Shen Qiang, and suddenly pushed him aside. Then she leaned over, nestled in Shen Qiang's arms, and with her beautiful eyes, coquettishly stared into his eyes and said, "Little Qiang Qiang, you still haven't told me why you took the toothpick Pan Zheng used last night."
Shen Qiang laughed and said, "I told you earlier, don't ask so many whys. I just took a toothpick he used, it's not some priceless treasure."
Weisheng Zhimei pursed her lips and said, "Taking his toothpick must be because it has his DNA on it. So either you want to use it for a test or frame him, but no matter what you're thinking, I'm warning you, Little Qiang Qiang, Pan Zheng is a good person, you cannot harm him."
"Do you know him?" Shen Qiang instinctively frowned.
Weisheng Zhimei laughed and said, "I don't know him, but I know Yun Lan Shijie. She's very smart. When I was in Baihua Palace, whenever Shifu didn't have time to mentor me, it was Yun Lan Shijie who taught me. She's a very upright person."
"That doesn't mean Pan Zheng is upright too." Shen Qiang interrupted.
Weisheng Zhimei smiled and said, "True, if we're just talking about being upright, Pan Zheng might not qualify. He has various small tricks and is good at leveraging the resources around him to achieve his goals, but he has principles."
"Principles that involve killing his wife and abandoning his daughter?" Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow.
Weisheng Zhimei froze, stared at Shen Qiang for a long time, and said, "Who told you that?"
"A friend." Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow.
Weisheng Zhimei glared at Shen Qiang and said, "Don't listen to their nonsense. Pan Zheng may not be a perfect gentleman, but he's a family man. As for Pan Zheng's ex-wife, Yun Lan Shijie once told me about it when she was pursuing Pan Zheng."
"And then? Back then, I couldn't really understand it and even asked her specifically, but now I can't recall the details she shared because it was so long ago. But I do know that Pan Zheng was very much in love with his deceased wife. So much so that Yun Lan Shijie pursued Pan Zheng for over three years, nearly four years, before they got together."
Shen Qiang frowned "That long?"
Weisheng Zhimei smiled, "Yes, that long. And at that time, Yun Lan Shijie was a renowned beauty in the Cultivation World, knowledgeable, and understanding. So don't listen to those rumors. If Pan Zheng were really capable of killing his wife and abandoning his daughter, someone as determined as Yun Lan Shijie wouldn't have taken over three years to win him over. It would've taken only three minutes."
Shen Qiang was silent for a moment and said, "Don't tell anyone about me taking Pan Zheng's toothpick."
"Why?" Weisheng Zhimei asked in surprise. "Why did you take that?"
Shen Qiang looked up at the ceiling with resignation, and after a good five seconds of silence, he said in a deep voice, "I found a girl who very likely could be Pan Zheng's long-lost daughter. Once we test the DNA, everything will be clear."
Seeing the amazed Baihua Palace Master, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "So you'd better keep it a secret, or if Yun Lan Shijie finds out you're helping me with this, she will hate you for it."
"Impossible! Yun Lan Shijie isn't like that!" said Weisheng Zhimei.
Shen Qiang laughed, "Don't speak in absolutes. People are selfish. If the person I found truly turns out to be Pan Zheng's daughter, she will claim half of the inheritance rights that Yun Lan Shijie's son would have received, which, given Pan Zheng's fortune, would be astronomical."
The Baihua Palace Master paused in silent contemplation before sighing and saying, "I understand. If you really find Pan Zheng's long-lost daughter, let me know secretly, but in front of Yun Lan Shijie, I will pretend not to know."
"You wicked fellow!" Shen Qiang laughed as he looked at her, "Didn't you say you two had a good relationship?"
"We're close, which is why I can't tell her," said the Baihua Palace Master Weisheng Zhimei. "I value this friendship. If I tell her and she's unhappy, it would ruin our relationship, which wouldn't be worth it, right? My Little Qiang Qiang."
Shen Qiang laughed and tightened his embrace around her, "What did you call me again? Last night, I remember someone changed the way they addressed me."
Weisheng Zhimei's pretty face turned crimson, and she said coyly, "Big Qiang Qiang, mighty Qiang Qiang, does that work?"
"Not that one," Shen Qiang laughed. "If you're not behaving, you can't leave."
With her pretty face blushing all the way down to her neck, Weisheng Zhimei hesitated for a moment, then said bashfully, "Qiang Master! Your Majesty!"
Hearing this, Shen Qiang laughed and said, "That's more like it. Remember, when we're alone, this is what you should call me."
Weisheng Zhimei's face was flushed hot and red, and she said coyly, "Alright, alright, alright, whatever you say!"
"That's a good girl." Shen Qiang chuckled.
Just then, Weisheng Zhimei's phone alarm rang.
Afterwards, the bashful Weisheng Zhimei turned off the alarm and said somewhat reluctantly, "I have to go back now, need to get everything in order and handle my affairs as if nothing's happened."
Shen Qiang laughed, "If you're tired, come to Heshenghe. You can sleep until you naturally wake up, and you can play mahjong all day."
Weisheng Zhimei smiled and said, "Alright, I'll come when I'm ready to retire."
Shen Qiang shrugged and said, "Fine, you're such a goddess, do as you please."
Weisheng Zhimei coquettishly glared at Shen Qiang while getting out of bed, gracefully dressing, and said sweetly, "Qiang Master, my king, my expenses are quite high, so if you want to keep me, you better keep increasing your income. Will your Elixir Pills make it into the top eight?"
Shen Qiang laughed, "Indeed, an amateur limits your imagination. Don't you know that your man always aims for first in everything he does?"
Hearing this, Weisheng Zhimei smiled, her eyes curving into crescents, and she gave Shen Qiang a big kiss on the cheek, "Go for it. I know you're the best."
With that, she turned around and said, "See you later."
As Shen Qiang waved, Weisheng Zhimei opened the door and bumped into the approaching Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu, who had come to find Shen Qiang.
"Hello, sister." The mischievous Weisheng Zhimei gave the startled Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu a smile and then walked away.
