Fury Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1974 - 1977: You Accompanied Me for a While, I Will Protect You for a Lifetime

Beside him was the sensual and charming Pan Meiqing, but at this moment, Shen Qiang, who was holding an umbrella, had completely lost interest in taking her on a tour of Medicine King Valley. After all, the desire to wear a crown must be matched by the acceptance of its weight—it's an unchanging truth of the ages. To be stronger than others and admired by all, one must endure hardships beyond what others endure.Thinking you can do nothing and be revered by others is utterly unrealistic.

"After tonight's celebration, I'll return to Heshenghe," Shen Qiang sighed, then turned to look at Pan Meiqing beside him. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "I'm a bit tired, let's go back to the villa for a rest first."

Not sure what she was thinking of, Pan Meiqing, who possessed a bombshell level of sensuality, suddenly blushed. Then she hesitantly said, "No, it's not quite right to return to the villa now, there's no one there but the two of us, this..."

Shen Qiang chuckled, turned, and walked calmly saying, "Compared to watching those inexperienced alchemists being amazed at my Elixir Pills, I'd much prefer some quiet time myself. If you truly don't want to go back to the villa, I won't force you."

Watching Shen Qiang walk away without paying her any mind.

Pan Meiqing, with her bombshell level of sensuality, frowned slightly and hurriedly followed, saying, "Why are you like this, shouldn't you be coaxing me?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang turned his head and smiled, saying, "Of course, I can coax you, but only when I'm in a good mood, understand? As I said, I don't mind thinking about you, but before that, I'll be a bit selfish."

Seeing Shen Qiang's smile, Pan Meiqing hesitated for a moment, then said sulkily, "A man should have grace."

Shen Qiang laughed and said, "Don't joke, please. Do you really believe a person with not a shred of selfishness would treat others selflessly? Don't be ridiculous; that kind of person doesn't even love themselves, how could they love others?"

Instantly, Pan Meiqing was taken aback, instinctively walking beside Shen Qiang and said reflectively, "That's so true; a person who doesn't love themselves, how could they love others..."

Shen Qiang smiled: "Mm, exactly, so when I'm in a good mood, I'll indulge you as much as I can, but when I'm preoccupied, don't expect me to forget everything just to coax you, because if I did, you'd be disappointed, and I'd be annoyed."

Looking at Shen Qiang's serious gaze, Pan Meiqing suddenly blushed and giggled, then glancing around with glittering eyes, she turned to him and softly said, "Then, when you're in a bad mood, how about I come and cheer you up?"

Shen Qiang laughed: "Sure, go ahead and act like a gorilla for me, like in the comedy skits, because I always feel happy when I see a beauty perform this."

Pan Meiqing blushed, flirtatiously rolled her eyes and said, "I want to cheer you up, but I'm not stupid. What do you mean you're happy seeing a beauty act like a gorilla? You're clearly trying to make me embarrass myself. After all, I'm a Dao Fruit Stage cultivator; if I really did this, I'd lose face."

Shen Qiang feigned displeasure, saying, "Something so simple you won't do for me—your attempt at cheering me up lacks sincerity."

On hearing this, Pan Meiqing's face turned red, truly believing Shen Qiang was angry, she hastily said, "Fine, fine, I'll do it if it makes you happy."

With that, the shy Pan Meiqing braced herself and made up her mind.

But just as she was about to mimic, Shen Qiang, eyes sparkling with laughter, suddenly held her hand and chuckled, "Silly girl, you just said you're not stupid, now why are you being so silly."

On hearing this, Pan Meiqing's face reddened to the nape of her neck, then in embarrassment and urgency, she teasingly said, "Ah? I was just trying to make you happy!"

Seeing her a bit annoyed.

Shen Qiang instantly reigned in his smile, looking at her earnestly, then gently spoke while walking with her towards the villa, "Don't be mad, I'm only joking. You trying to cheer me up by mimicking a gorilla truly moves me deeply, it's enough that you intend to, I won't force you to actually do it."

Pan Meiqing, unaccustomed to Shen Qiang's hot-and-cold demeanor, was bewildered.

Staring blankly at Shen Qiang, she suddenly frowned, "Are you starting to coax me?"

Shen Qiang smiled: "Of course, because you've cheered me up, now that I'm happy, naturally it's time for me to reciprocate."

Instantly, Pan Meiqing cracked a smile, her white teeth shining brightly even amidst the drizzling rain.

"Alright, then cheer me up," Pan Meiqing flirtatiously said.

Shen Qiang laughed and said, "I won't cheer you up."

Pan Meiqing was stunned, simultaneously Shen Qiang smiled: "Because I'll put all my effort into loving you."

Instantly, Pan Meiqing smiled, eye crescented with delight, "Oh, you're teasing me, I don't believe your nonsense."

Shen Qiang smiled at her. At this moment, her smile was bright and joyful, exuding a charm that was inexplicably ordinary amidst the drizzle.

It surprisingly reminded Shen Qiang of those high school days, of the cheerful female classmates.

Back then, they would inexplicably laugh for no reason.

Yet, at that time, Shen Qiang didn't understand that being with someone you like, even the most awkward joke can be incredibly amusing.

Clearly, the vibrant smile wasn't because Shen Qiang's words were wonderfully touching, but simply because she liked Shen Qiang; otherwise, had someone else spoken the same words, Pan Meiqing would likely have reacted with a cold, sarcastic retort.

"You're truly beautiful." Shen Qiang sincerely said while watching the crescent-eyed smile of the vibrant beauty.

This statement suddenly made her blush adorably as she mischievously retorted, "Shoo!"

Shen Qiang smiled, quietly watching her charming demeanor, then reached out to gently hold the hand of the person walking beside him.

Her jade-like hand trembled as if electrified.

Yet a moment later, she let Shen Qiang hold it, as if her arm had lost control.

With a smile, Shen Qiang tightened his grip on her warm, soft hand, walking with the umbrella, he led her back to the villa.

During the entire journey, neither said a word.

He hung the umbrella in the porch.

Enter the house, Shen Qiang did not release Pan Meiqing's palm which was sweat-drenched.

He faced her, towering from above, looking at her nervous yet charming eyes, softly said, "Meiqing, accompanying me, and I will protect you for life."

With that, in the midst of her startled gaze, Shen Qiang turned, quietly approached, amidst the faint fragrance, kissed her lips.
