Chapter 1818 - 1821: Nalan Tianyu's Blushing Cheeks (Fifth
In an instant, the many cultivators who were bowing in greeting were left stupified, while Nalan Tianyu, clad in a pure white military uniform and as bright as a blossoming flower, smiled with her eyes. Having visited Heshenghe once, she had seen Old Steward Gui Shu from afar. Her impression of Gui Shu was that, although he seemed like a servant, no demon ever disrespected him.Back then, Nalan Tianyu had been somewhat curious about Gui Shu. But her visit to Heshenghe was very short, and upon leaving, the person she missed more was Shen Qiang. So naturally, the inconspicuous Gui Shu was ignored.
Yet now, her gaze towards Gui Shu was filled only with surprise and admiration.
Surprise at his formidable strength, admiration for Shen Qiang.
Because even someone as powerful as Gui Shu willingly served as a steward at Heshenghe, which meant more than just the presence of hidden talents at Heshenghe; it proved that a master of divine level strength like Gui Shu believed in Shen Qiang!
That is why he would willingly be driven by Shen Qiang!
At this moment, even more shocked was the twin-tailed girl, who stared wide-eyed at the people around her, especially those closer to this side, as their cultivation was more powerful. Not to mention the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley and those two elderly men with immortal wind and bone; they were remarkable figures hardly seen on ordinary days.
Now, they were bowing to Gui Shu, and Gui Shu was lowering his head before Shen Qiang, making the scene exceptionally odd.
If it were accurately described, it would be that Shen Qiang stood in the center with the shapely Nalan Tianyu in her snow-white military uniform, followed by the dazed twin-tailed girl, while a steward with a large group of subordinates approached Shen Qiang to greet him.
If the sky suddenly sprinkled some rain, it would look like a black-and-white photo.
It could almost serve as a cover photo for a godfather film.
"Is he Shen Qiang's steward?" At this moment, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley was stunned, looking blankly at Shen Qiang.
The fat man who hurried over had eyes that lit up instantly, not only filled with surprise but also overwhelming excitement: "Heshenghe, is it? Indeed, hiding talents here, excellent, very good. Shen Qiang, you are my opponent now, haha. Without you, these years in the cultivation world have been as lonely as snow!"
In contrast to the dumbstruck Valley Master of Medicine King Valley and the excited-eyed fat man, the other cultivators were deeply shaken.
"Steward? Commanded? Oh my god, such a divine being is actually Shen Qiang's subordinate? Then how powerful is his Heshenghe exactly?"
"Is this real? Am I dreaming? This old immortal actually takes instructions from Shen Qiang!"
"This is embarrassing, aren't our statuses higher than Shen Qiang's? We're greeting his steward; what does it say if this spreads? Throwing ourselves into the Pacific Ocean with shame."
Many cultivators present were filled with various thoughts but stayed silent, their gazes awkwardly meeting each other's, unsure whether to laugh or not, though just couldn't help but find it amusing. After all, it's rare to be shamed together with so many people.
Their exchanged glances could almost be heard.
Ha, embarrassed, aren't you?
Hehe, aren't you the same way?
While they kept silent, the atmosphere remained awkward, plunging into an eerie silence.
Meanwhile, within the live stream, it was explosive.
"My Wang Weiwu! My Wang should be renamed Shen Zhating!"
"Brother Qiang, how powerful are you? That Great Sea Demon King Yu Jiang, a godlike existence, was kicked flying by your steward? And then he asked if you had anything else to command, like he had merely swatted a fly?"
"Mom asked why I am kneeling while watching my phone, tears falling as I realize your godly steward is another divine under Brother Qiang."
In contrast to the calmness of such emotional reactions, more comments were akin to avalanches, a total breakdown.
"Begging to be allowed to mop the floor at Hehe Shenghe, buy groceries, cook; I want to be a man who can kick the Great Sea Demon away in one move!"
"The old steward said OK, asked if that meant you want to be my man?"
"An immortal's living place might not be the Immortal Realm; it could be Hehe Shenghe Mountain Villa!"
Though the live stream was explosive, on-site it remained peculiar.
"Do you want to help me take out that Great Sea Demon?" Just then, Shen Qiang inquired.
The old steward Gui Shu smiled but said nothing.
Yet, the words immediately sparked topic discussions among the surrounding cultivators.
"Esteemed senior, you appear extraordinary in demeanor; may I ask your noble name?"
"Senior, with your status, why settle for being a steward at Heshenghe?"
"Senior, where might be your immortal hometown? Perhaps our ancestors share a connection?"
Seeing them advance, old steward Gui Shu kept a calm demeanor, saying nothing, only offering a polite smile, though his eyes were cold.
But just then.
Boom! With a resounding boom.
As True Yuan soared skyward again, everyone present felt a jolt.
Because nearby, almost everyone saw it, though the long spear was absent from the grasp; the eyes were exceptionally frightening.
After exchanging looks silently, many cultivators quietly retreated, after all, Shen Qiang's old steward Gui Shu might be formidable, but he wasn't powerful enough to warrant them stepping out against the Great Sea Demon King.
Since Great Sea Demons aren't ordinary cultivators, reason isn't applicable.
Moreover, on the off chance that the Great Sea Demon directs wrath towards them, whether Gui Shu saves them is uncertain.
So not only ordinary cultivators but even the Medicine King Valley Master couldn't help but signal for the two elderly men accompanying him to fall back.
Additionally, the fat man also discreetly signaled the two accompanying him to retreat silently.
Thus, in almost an instant, numerous cultivators retreated, leaving only the old steward Gui Shu, Shen Qiang, Nalan Tianyu, and the twin-tailed girl confronting the Great Sea Demon.
The twin-tailed girl was so nervous she could barely breathe, subconsciously clutching Shen Qiang's clothes lightly.
Nalan Tianyu naturally held onto Shen Qiang's arm, watching the Great Sea Demon warily.
"Looks like this isn't over yet!"
Spectating cultivators whispered silently within.
But at that moment, everyone shockingly heard the enraged Great Sea Demon returning, roaring: "Bro! It's been over a thousand years; why haven't you come home?"
As everyone was stunned.
Gui Shu, with calm composure, coldly replied: "Worthless, it's been over a thousand years, you're still no better!"
Suddenly, everyone present stood agape.
Shen Qiang paused, then suddenly laughed: "Are we still fighting?"
The Great Sea Demon King glared at Gui Shu, not even turning his head, growling: "No time!"
Shen Qiang sheathed his blade, pulling the petite and lovely Nalan Tianyu close; her hand was fragrant and soft.
"Let's go, have tea at my place."
Instantly, her cheeks flushed.
