She had a tall and graceful figure, with slightly brown long hair cascading down like a waterfall to her curvy hips. Her slender thighs were straight and rounded under tight jeans, and her snow-white face, clearly of mixed race, featured a pair of light blue eyes that were like gemstones.

Her high and delicate nose, exquisite pink lips, even though her gaze was cold, still astonished many cultivators present.

"This fairy is so beautiful, but she looks unfamiliar. I wonder which sect she belongs to?"

"She is a mixed-race; indeed, beautiful."

"This woman's cultivation is not low; even with my cultivation, I can't see through it."

Amongst the amazed gazes of numerous cultivators, the stunning mixed-race beauty who entered the hotel immediately saw Bianyi. She then signaled the twin-tailed girl accompanying her to check in before arrogantly walking over to Bianyi and the burly team member, coldly asking, "Where is Shen Qiang?"

Bianyi exhaled and smiled, "Upstairs, but he has a companion, so the department head can sit down and have some tea with me."

Upon hearing this, the stunning mixed-race beauty slightly lowered her body and coldly transmitted, "Bianyi, I've repaid your favor already, so don't test my patience, or you'll regret it."

Looking at the mixed-race beauty's cold gaze, Bianyi laughed, "Room 502. I advise you not to touch him. Don't forget, he is the King of Demons, and your tactics won't work on him. Besides, my current task is to protect him closely."

The mixed-race beauty shot Bianyi a cold glance, said nothing, and turned to head upstairs with the twin-tailed girl who had completed the check-in.

Watching the mixed-race beauty's graceful figure with admiration, the burly combat team member asked softly in shock, "Captain, why is she here?"

Bianyi replied solemnly with a cold smile, "She's a woman who's overly confident in demon suppression, very proud, and also the department head of the Demon Taming Department. With what's happening, Shen Qiang has been in the spotlight. It's not surprising she came here out of dissatisfaction; she seems calmer than I expected, though."

The team member was stunned.

Bianyi, realizing he might have misspoken, smiled and said, "I thought she'd be furious. Seems I was wrong."

Upstairs.

Room 502.

This was a relatively ordinary suite.

In the outer lounge.

The tall and graceful beauty Jiang Hanyang quietly sat on the sofa, surfing the internet on her laptop.

Meanwhile, Shen Qiang stood by the window, speaking on his phone.

"Was Bianyi once the strongest assassin in the Dark Department? Xiu Ju, are you sure about this information's authenticity? Hmm, hmm, I understand, don't worry, I'm not stupid. Hmm, yes, don't bother Bianyi with this, let him enjoy his honeymoon. Hmm, okay, watch out for the situation over there. Yes, good, just like that."

He hung up the phone.

Turning around, he spotted the lovely beauty Jiang Hanyang browsing online, and he couldn't help but smile as he sat on the sofa beside her, asking, "What are you looking at?"

Jiang Hanyang gave Shen Qiang a charming glance, replying, "Of course, I need to understand the situation. Based on the traps I've set over the years, I feel recent events are unusual."

Shen Qiang's eyes lit up immediately, "What unusual things do you see?"

Jiang Hanyang chuckled, "Firstly, there's the treasure message thread full of holes. This type of posting is like seeing ads for used cars online, where the seller adds 'dealers stay away' as if the seller is a used car dealer themself, with many possible problems with the car. Professional dealers will easily spot these issues."

"So not only won't they earn money, they'll waste time. Thus, they add 'dealers stay away', because if the car were without problems, it doesn't matter who buys it, dealer or ordinary person."

"Similarly, this flawed treasure message thread is a tool for screening targets, a method we've frequently used in past traps. Truly smart people, upon seeing such an inadequate post, their first thought is it's a scam, so they won't come to the Oasis."

"Only those with average intelligence, hoping for a bargain, will try because they're greedy and not smart enough. No matter how many people arrive, they are under control, for truly smart people won't come."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Then what?"

"Complete manipulation," the beautiful thief Jiang Hanyang continued, "Just like you've seen, those cultivators who arrived at the Oasis were slaughtered by that demon, their belongings becoming part of the treasure."

Shen Qiang smiled, watching Jiang Hanyang, "If you set this trap intending to deal with me, what would you do next?"

The beautiful thief Jiang Hanyang smiled, "If it's to deal with you, firstly I'll make you isolated and helpless, then I'll establish a powerful enemy to make you feel threatened. Afterward, I'd resolve part of the crisis, making you increasingly rely on and trust me. That way, when the time is right, you become just a victim on my cutting board."

"But evidently, although those cultivators appearing from nowhere can be annoying, and the guy from the Kunlun Sword Sect shows obvious hostility, they're not the powerful enemy pressuring you, so I'm sure someone's setting up a trap. If you think it's targeting you, that's overthinking because..."

Just as Jiang Hanyang spoke, her eyes suddenly widened in surprise, seeing through the glass a hideous demon with blood-red eyes hanging outside the window, glaring viciously at Shen Qiang and her inside the room.

"Demon!" she exclaimed in shock, her beautiful eyes wide open.

Almost simultaneously as she yelled.

Bang!

A tall cultivator appeared outside the window, fiercely kicking the demon like a cannonball, sending it crashing into the vacant ground across the hotel road.

Then, Jiang Hanyang was astounded to see the handsome Bianyi standing elegantly on the outdoor balcony, gracefully smiling.

"Please rest assured, with me here, no one can harm you two."

After speaking, Bianyi vanished in a flash.

At this moment, Jiang Hanyang's eyes lit up instantly, staring at the balcony where Bianyi disappeared, she eagerly grabbed Shen Qiang, peeking outside, exclaiming excitedly.

"It's definitely him!"
