Chapter 1739 - 1742: If a Smile Could Solve Problems, Who Would Be the Villain? (Fifth Update)

Looking at the bright-eyed Great Sea Demon, who was questioning him, Shen Qiang calmly raised his eyebrows, then smiled lightly and said, "Two tigers cannot coexist on one mountain. You are the Demon King, and he is the Demon Emperor. Don't you have the slightest thought of doing something to show him who's boss?""If you are truly a king, even without my interference, you should have such ambition. For instance, I absolutely will not allow any demon to claim kingship in front of me, because that means they are challenging me."

Hearing this, the Great Sea Demon's eyes shone brightly as he looked at Shen Qiang: "Little guy, to be honest, what you say is very persuasive, but it's not enough for me to take all the risks. How about this, I'm just missing a batch of Elixir Pills. I'll give you the list, and if you can refine a batch that satisfies me, we can talk about this later."

Shen Qiang chuckled: "Don't make jokes, my dear Sea Demon King. You must understand that I may be young, but I'm not stupid. Don't you get it? After helping me deal with the Sea Emperor Clan, you'll earn my approval, and only then can you buy Elixir Pills from me. This is principle, do you understand?"

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? You do nothing, and I make a batch of pills for you? Who knows if you'll use them yourself or give them to your Sea Clan? And what do you mean, 'we'll talk after you're satisfied'? I can already imagine you laughing and mocking me as a fool with the pills in hand, not to mention the extremely harsh demands you'd make then. So, forget it, sincerity doesn't work that way."

The Great Sea Demon's eyes shone brightly: "Young man, you have to trust me. I am the Great Sea Demon, a near-divine existence. I care greatly about my reputation and would never deceive you."

Shen Qiang laughed: "The way you lie looks just like my friend Bianyi. But it's a pity, I still won't trust you, Sea Demon King. Strutting shirtless with a floral wreath, surrounded by bikini-clad beauties on the beach, you even invited enchanting belly dancers. As the Sea Demon King, you do such things so justifiably, and yet you think I'd believe your words are as good as gold?"

"Then give me ten of each pill you have now, and I'll see if they are of good quality." The Great Sea Demon's eyes shone brightly.

Shen Qiang chuckled: "It seems you still haven't figured out your situation or what's at stake. So now I'll remind you one last time, I'm not here to joke with you."

"You have two choices. One is to join me in shaking up the Sea Emperor Clan, which would solidify your position within the Sea Clan, making you sky-high. At the same time, you'd win the friendship of a land king and gain more tangible benefits."

"The other choice is to ignore my warning, only to find your overseas shipping company failing, unable to dock at any port, with chaotic subordinates turning against you for profit. By then, you'd have to find various connections to negotiate with me. And even then, my terms won't change: you must help me deal with the Sea Emperor Clan. If you can't, everything's off the table."

Hearing this, the Great Sea Demon's face turned cold, "Are you sure you have this power?"

Looking at the Great Sea Demon, Shen Qiang smiled: "As a security advisor for the Dragon Group, I can guarantee that none of your ships will dock smoothly wherever you want, but the one planning to replace you as the Sea Demon King and who's willing to cooperate with me, his ships can."

"Despicable! Shameless!" The Sea Demon King erupted in anger.

Shen Qiang toned down his smile and, after a solid five seconds of silence, calmly said, "If a kind smile could solve these problems, I'd be willing to smile at you forever. But that's useless. I've told you so much, yet you haven't directly answered me once."

"I never fear being looked down upon, because I know someday I'll make them see me differently. But I cannot tolerate letting my woman wait in desperate loneliness! So Sea Demon King, it's time for you to make a stand."

"Assist me, and you become my friend. I will fully support you within my capacity without damaging my interests."

"If you ignore me, I will sincerely start from tending to your business, slowly undermining your authority within the Sea Clan, and fostering someone willing to help me become the Sea Demon King. The process might be long, it might be arduous, but this is the only solution I can think of if you refuse me."

"You can question my ability or my determination, but I tell you, Great Sea Demon, never underestimate a man in love, because they can always make miracles happen."

The Great Sea Demon silently watched Shen Qiang, his lips curling into a strange smile: "You say you don't want your woman to wait in desperate loneliness? Who exactly are you? Is the Divine Tomb where your wife is buried? And what exactly is that glowing spell of yours?"

Shen Qiang calmly said, "You're asking too many questions. I just want to know, will you try to cooperate with me? You should understand that without powerful allies, even in the sea, you can't truly be a king who calls the shots."

The Great Sea Demon remained silent for a long time, seriously sizing up Shen Qiang, before turning his gaze to Ji Wei and Ke Bizhu. Finally, his gaze rested seriously on the delicate Golden Cicada on the table in front of Shen Qiang, and he laughed, "Little beauty, you're really pretty. Can you tell me if you think Shen Qiang is truly strong enough?"

Golden Cicada instantly rolled her eyes dramatically, "I'm not small, I'll grow up quickly. My master's the best!"

Shen Qiang laughed, shaking his head helplessly.

Unexpectedly, hearing this, the Great Sea Demon smirked, then he earnestly looked at Shen Qiang and said, "A man who keeps his promises to a woman can't be too bad. You ask me to help you and collaborate? Sure. But I have a condition."

"Speak," Shen Qiang calmly raised an eyebrow.

The Great Sea Demon said, "I know you're an Alchemist, and I know you'll participate in the Elixir Pills conference at Medicine King Valley in ten days or so. As long as your pills can surpass half of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, I'll consider everything you said to be true and engage in cooperation with you."

"No problem, it's a piece of cake for me." Shen Qiang's eyes lit up.

The Great Sea Demon laughed, his eyes very serious as he said, "But you must understand, the Sea Demon King isn't someone just anyone can insult. If you can't do it, can't surpass more than half of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, then you and your Heshenghe will become the outlet of my wrath, and any place with water will become your death zone!"
