Chapter 1478 - 1481: The Aggrieved Major General Who Eats Meat by the Mouthful

The charming Wenren Meiqiao's eyes were filled with pride, and as soon as she heard Wenren Meiqiao say, "If you can dig it out, I lose," Shen Qiang's heart skipped a beat, instantly guessing the truth."The Divine Corpse is in the water!"

Shen Qiang's thoughts were crystal clear because, as the security advisor for the Dragon Group, the Heshenghe boss, and the King of Demons in the cultivation world, given enough time, with Shen Qiang's resources and the numerous little demons under his command, he could indeed search every inch of land.

Although it might take decades, even centuries, if Shen Qiang was determined to do this, all the cultivators would understand that Shen Qiang had that capability.

With such confidence, Wenren Meiqiao stated without even thinking that if Shen Qiang could dig out the Divine Corpse, she would admit defeat. That meant the Divine Corpse wasn't in the ancient tomb or on land but in the water.

Because evidently, Earth has gravity, and with today's rapidly advancing technology, if she had said the Divine Corpse was in another galaxy, Shen Qiang might have considered the possibility.

But the sky clearly couldn't hold a crystal coffin and a Divine Corpse. If it were an extraterrestrial legend, Wenren Meiqiao would not have taken it seriously. So, the only possibility is that the Divine Corpse is at the bottom of some body of water.

This is the most likely scenario and also the most complex one.

Because 71% of Earth's surface is ocean, and adding the lakes and rivers on land, the area covered by water is about 360 million square kilometers. Finding a crystal coffin and a Divine Corpse in such vast waters is undoubtedly like finding a needle in a haystack.

Just as Shen Qiang was frowning in thought, Wenren Meiqiao, suddenly realizing she had let something slip, became furious, saying, "Despicable, shameless! You're tricking me again? How can there be someone as despicable as you in the world? You stop at nothing to achieve your goals? Where is your bottom line?"

Shen Qiang laughed, raised an eyebrow casually: "I'm not too sure about the bottom line, but I am wearing two pairs of briefs. In fact, I already knew the Divine Corpse was in the water. I was just joking to test you. This is definitely not a trick—just a light-hearted jest."

Hearing this, Wenren Meiqiao fumed, "Shen Qiang, do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Do you think I'd believe you know where the Divine Corpse is?"

Shen Qiang smiled slightly and raised an eyebrow, "I really do know. The Divine Corpse is actually buried beneath the rushing rivers, something even a three-year-old would know."

"Nonsense!" Wenren Meiqiao raged, "The Divine Corpse clearly..."

Bam!

At the critical moment, Wenren Meiqiao, driven by instinct, clasped her mouth tightly with her jade-like hand. Then, looking at Shen Qiang with eyes both bright and tearful, she began to appear slightly misty with grievance.

Sure enough, Wenren Meiqiao responded quickly; using the same trick only for the third time, she realized it in a critical moment, covering her mouth to stay silent.

This is a bit troublesome.

In fact, people are like this: when others give a wrong answer, people instinctively want to refute it by offering the right one.

So, by using the wrong answer to make others correct you with the right one, Shen Qiang has used this technique for many years, always effectively, because it exploits a bug created by the creator within humanity. As long as he knows the true answer, when he sees others flaunt their superiority with the wrong answer in front of him, anyone lacking superior intelligence and unable to suppress this instinct will immediately correct them.

Clearly, Wenren Meiqiao is no ordinary person. In her extreme anger, she restrained from correcting Shen Qiang's thinking.

This left Shen Qiang somewhat disappointed.

At the same time, he couldn't help but regard Wenren Meiqiao with a higher level of respect.

After all, the measure of someone's capability is often reflected in their opponents; Wenren Meiqiao's opponent was the formidable Qian Shanxue, so naturally, she wouldn't be weak herself. The sole pity was that the winner takes all, and her brilliance was overshadowed by Qian Shanxue.

Because people often only see her failures, ignoring the fact that among the Dragon Group's combat team, there are thousands of elites who do not even have the courage to compete with Qian Shanxue.

But at this moment, seeing her expression, seemingly about to explode from grievance, filled with both anger and sorrow, Shen Qiang felt a bit awkward as well.

In fact, if Wenren Meiqiao hadn't adamantly refused to reveal the whereabouts of the Divine Corpse, Shen Qiang wouldn't have had to use such rhetoric to trick Wenren Meiqiao, so in this situation, he was somewhat forced.

But resolving this awkwardness probably couldn't be achieved quickly or easily.

While pondering this, the food delivery arrived.

Wenren Meiqiao, extremely aggrieved, accepted the delivered lunch with teary eyes, not saying a word to Shen Qiang, simply opening the meal box in silence. Shen Qiang was surprised to see that Wenren Meiqiao indeed lived up to her reputation.

Lunch consisted of four meat dishes, a plate of Russian-style pickles, a plate of pickled peppers, plus two boxes of rice.

Although watching her superior, full of grievance with tears in her eyes, Wenren Meiqiao's female subordinate casually gave Shen Qiang the same lunch as Wenren Meiqiao.

She opened it on the coffee table.

Shen Qiang ate while observing Wenren Meiqiao, noticing that she was crying in anger while stuffing her mouth with meat, as if the angrier and more aggrieved she was, the more she had to eat.

"It's indeed as Qing Xie said: In Wenren Meiqiao's eyes, meat is justice. In that case, by catering to her preferences, I think I can still resolve this."

Gazing at the four boxes of meat dishes, Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow slightly, lamb ribs stewed with radish, braised pork hock, pork belly, plus fried pork belly, alongside two boxes of rice—quite a sizeable meal. But considering Wenren Meiqiao's height over 1.7 meters and her peak Mixed Element Realm cultivation, eating this much was not excessive. Compared to Qian Shanxue, she was somewhat delicate.

Observing the tearful yet silently meat-eating Wenren Meiqiao, Shen Qiang hesitated for a moment and said, "Um…"

"Don't talk to me, finish your meal and leave immediately, never come back!"

Watching Wenren Meiqiao's cold gaze with tears rolling down her charming face, Shen Qiang felt inexplicably guilty, hesitated a moment, and opened his mouth to speak.

But Wenren Meiqiao flared up, yelling hysterically and irrationally, "I said, don't talk to me!"

Her female subordinate nearby felt awkward, giving Shen Qiang an apologetic look before sitting to eat by herself.

This left Shen Qiang helpless. He then stood up, walked over to Wenren Meiqiao's desk, and smiled, "Alright, perhaps what I said earlier has upset you."

"Yes, very upset!" Wenren Meiqiao corrected.

Shen Qiang laughed, bringing over his four boxes of dishes, setting them on the table, "Alright then, to show some semblance of apology, you can take one piece of meat from me, as a token of my apology, hmm, but only one piece."

Hearing this, the extremely wronged Wenren Meiqiao, whose heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys all ached, instantly picked up the only two pieces of fried pork belly from Shen Qiang's lunchbox with her chopsticks, chewing with grievance, "I'm not inviting you to lunch anymore, these are all mine. You should leave now!"
