Swallowing the Stars: I, the New Master of Babata

"I understand very well, but Hong, you also need to understand one thing: not everyone is as rational and clear-headed as you. Their level of thinking is incomparable to yours."

Dong Qing admired Hong's character, that is, his level of thinking. He was a man who was frighteningly rational and clear-headed. But he forgot that many people in this world act on emotion.

For example, Thor.

If only he hadn't been so ruthless back then, he could have killed someone given his status and position.

He probably didn't even know how he died, so he wouldn't have broken ties with his daughter.

"So you're not worried about me acting irrationally, but rather that they'll destroy themselves?"

Hong understood that Dongqing wasn't worried about him acting recklessly at all, but rather about some people acting recklessly due to extreme emotions, which would drag Earth and humanity into the abyss of civil war.

Based on his understanding of Dongqing, as someone who hates trouble and only wants a wife, children, and a warm bed, he shouldn't take on responsibilities on his own initiative.

"You're too clear-headed and too rational; I don't need to worry about you at all."

Dong Qing turned his head slightly and glanced at the enchanting witch standing not far behind him.

Actually, from the very beginning.

He didn't intend to steal someone else's partner.

He only sparred with the enchanting witch in his spare time.

Let's also learn about Hong, the world's strongest man.

But Hong discovered that the Witcher's seductive thoughts were wavering.

His rational side immediately caused him to lose the last shred of hope for women, these emotional beings.

No one is perfect.

No gold is ever pure.

Hong has high standards for himself.

They also have high expectations of others.

He couldn't accept that his personal guards could be so easily swayed by emotions.

Even if this bodyguard was someone he had spent a lot of resources and effort to train.

"So you're worried about me?"

Thor had somehow gotten close to Dong Qing again and put his hand on Dong Qing's shoulder.

His tone sounded somewhat cynical, but the look in the depths of his pupils was very serious.

"You?"

Dongqing opened Thor's salted pig's hand again.

He doesn't really like to put his arm around a man's shoulder.

"If you dare to do anything reckless, I'll tell Lei Lei that you, her irresponsible father, have secretly found her more than a dozen beautiful concubines outside."

Dong Qing admits that he is not a good man, being fickle and having multiple wives and concubines, but he is not the only man who becomes bad when he has money.

Not everyone is Hong.

A person with a remarkably stable temperament is frightening.

Most powerful male martial artists.

He has many women in private.

"No, you little brat, don't spread rumors. I didn't have a dozen women..."

Thor was initially calm, but when Dongqing said that, he immediately became agitated.

"Can you honestly say that all these years you've remained single, stayed true to yourself, always kept Lei Lei's mother in your heart, and never had any contact with a single woman?"

Dong Qing glanced at Thor with disdain. Little did he know that Thor had more than a dozen women in private, probably hundreds or even thousands.

For example.

He was merely an inspector.

There are countless women who want to climb into his bed.

Not to mention that as the head of a global power, the owner of the Thunder Martial Arts Academy, and the second strongest person in the world, the temptations of women he faces on a daily basis are unimaginable.

Compared to him, Dong Qing can only be considered a pure love warrior, while Hong's aversion to women is something that ordinary people cannot imagine or imitate.

For example, right now.

As the first elder of the War God Palace and the world's strongest person, Hong was not afraid of Dong Qing talking about his private life, because he really had no blemishes.

Even the witch Yao Rao, one of the top three bodyguards and one of the people she trusted most, did not discover anything improper about Hong's private life.

However, the enchanting witch was also well aware of one thing.

That means Hong most likely won't trust women anymore.

In the past, there might have been women who had the opportunity to pry open Hong's heart and enter his inner world.

But after experiencing the allure of the witch hunter, Hong's trust in women completely vanished.

Although the witch and he had no relationship beyond that of a man and a woman, they were simply superior and subordinate to each other.

But it also showed him how unreliable women are; they only know how to act on emotions and are not people he can trust or rely on.

Perhaps his thinking is a bit obsessive.

It's even gone to some extremes.

But those with a steadfast mind.

No one can be without bias.

"No, kid, there's no point in bringing this up. I didn't say anything after you kidnapped the inspector of my Thunder Martial Arts School, so don't be so petty."

Thor truly loved his first woman, Rayleigh's mother, but she was no longer with him. He simply made a mistake that many men make.

"Can something that's mutually in love be considered abduction?"

Dong Qing first denied Lei Shen's abduction claim, then continued using Lei Lei as an example, saying, "Lei Lei calls me 'Brother Qing' in private. Are you going to say that I abducted your daughter Lei Lei?"

As for "Brother Qing," it was naturally Dong Qing who tricked Lei Shen. Lei Lei had a fairly good relationship with him and could talk to him, but they weren't that close yet because she was still reminiscing about her first love.

But Dongqing didn't know how to criticize Lei Lei's taste.

Her first love, who died many years ago, deserved to die.

You can't call him a beast.

Because they are worse than animals.

"Dongqing, you brat, Lei Lei was also born in 2026. She's the same age as you, practically childhood sweethearts. Don't ruin my daughter's life."

Thor almost lost his temper and exploded on the spot, transforming into the God of Thunder and directly cleaving Dong Qing in two with a Nine-Fold Thunder Blade.

But if you think about it calmly...

If Dong Qing can settle down, stop having affairs, and become a good man from now on, he might be able to accept the world's third strongest and the world's number one mentalist as his son-in-law.

However, Thor also knew very well that unless his daughter Lei Lei was really easy to get, Dong Qing, who was afraid of trouble, would definitely not provoke her, nor would he give up an entire forest for a single tree.

"Alright, you two shut up. One of you is over fifty and the other is over thirty. How can you act like teenagers? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if outsiders see this?"

Hong Zhenzhen had no idea that someone who was cynical all day long, lived like a twenty-year-old even though he was over fifty, was someone who was inherently afraid of trouble, and was so cautious that he would never visit any ancient cultural relics.

How exactly did they rank second and third in the world?

Even he himself couldn't say for sure that he could win.

Especially Dongqing today.

Mr. Hong felt a sense of unease.

Even when you've played all your cards.

They probably won't be able to beat the current Dongqing team.

If it were someone else...

He might lose his composure and develop a series of uncontrollable dark thoughts because his status as the world's strongest is threatened.

However, Hong's mental cultivation was so high that he forcefully suppressed such dark thoughts before they could even emerge.

"outsider?"

Thor shrugged boredly and said, "Besides the three of us, there are only Yao Rao and Jiang Fang. One is the inspector of the Thunder Martial Arts Academy, and the other is the inspector of the Limit Martial Arts Academy."

No kidding, Thor actually admires Dongqing's abilities in this regard. He's all about physical attraction, not emotional connection, quantity over quality. If it were him, he wouldn't be able to subdue a strong woman like the Inspector.

Well, how should I put it?

Men and women are sometimes very similar; when they have money, they are prone to going astray and even becoming indulgent.
