Then let them offer their loyalty!

She seemed to have just woken up and was still a little groggy.

Upon seeing Qiu Tu, she blinked in confusion and asked blankly, "Minister Qiu...? What are you doing on my bed?"

Qiu Tu: .....

Qiu Tu lightly flicked his forehead and said in a low voice, "What nonsense are you talking about? Look where you are right now!"

After saying that, Qiu Tu ignored the girl's even more bewildered expression as she covered her head, and then strode into the office.

If I'm not mistaken, Su Xiaowan was still sleeping in bed when Qin Shuman possessed her.

She probably woke up briefly to take a look, and seeing that Qin Shuman was controlling her body, she went back to sleep.

This absent-minded girl is actually kind of adorably clueless...

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but walk into Tang Feifei's office.

The two women must have been chatting for a long time, because there was still tea on the coffee table next to the sofa.

Tang Feifei sat on the sofa, holding a teacup in her hand, but she didn't drink it; instead, she seemed lost in thought.

Her wheat-colored face was etched with worry, giving her a somber look; her dark brown eyes were slightly narrowed, making them difficult to read.

When Qiu Tu came in, Tang Feifei looked up at him.

Her beautiful eyes were calm as she asked, "Did you run into Director Yudie?"

Qiu Tu hummed in agreement and didn't hide anything from Tang Feifei, saying, "I exchanged some information with her."

Tang Feifei nodded slightly, then gestured coldly to the sofa, "Judging from your expression, your information isn't good news."

Hearing Tang Feifei's words, Qiu Tu smiled and said, "That depends on how you interpret it."

After speaking, Qiu Tu sat down on the sofa and handed the documents in his hand to Tang Feifei.

Upon seeing this, the woman, who resembled a female leopard, took a deep breath and then reached out to take the document...

After slowly reading through the documents in her hand, Tang Feifei's expression became even more serious.

Having become one of the top three figures in the city, her demeanor has become noticeably more profound.

She didn't readily express her opinion, but instead tapped her fingers lightly on the document in her hand, closing her eyes to ponder the information on the document.

After a moment, she opened her eyes and looked at Qiu Tu like a female leopard on the hunt, coldly asking, "What do you think?"

Qiu Tu had just fooled Qin Shuman, so he wouldn't mind fooling Tang Feifei as well.

So he repeated to Tang Feifei the same words he had used to fool Qin Shuman.

Qiu Tu's rhetoric was always effective, so it wasn't long before Tang Feifei nodded slightly and agreed to Qiu Tu's suggestion—not to report the matter of the Evil God and the Emerald Shadow Dragon to her superiors for the time being.

Instead, they waited for Qiu Tu and Qin Shuman to investigate everything thoroughly before reporting to their superiors and requesting reinforcements.

After finishing their business, Tang Feifei put down her teacup and sighed, "Another turbulent time..."

"Unexpectedly, before we could even reach a conclusion, the evil god has already come to spy on us..."

Qiu Tu, however, had already prepared himself mentally, so he was actually more at ease.

He said with a smile, "It's already quite impressive that the aura released by Zhao Ji can intimidate most of the evil gods."

"Faced with enormous profits, how many... evil gods can resist that temptation?"

"Don't forget, their personalities have already become very extreme, and they don't consider the consequences too much."

Upon hearing this, Tang Feifei nodded slightly, agreeing with Qiu Tu's words, but... she also said meaningfully, "Yes. Even evil gods can't resist such enormous benefits, let alone humans."

At this point, she gave Qiu Tu a deep look and then said, "So... do you want to come back and help me again?"

"You've seen it too. The situation is so dangerous right now, with so many evil gods lurking around."

"It would be very dangerous for you to act on your own."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu smiled and stood up, "Don't worry, I will definitely be the winner this time."

After saying that, Qiu Tu said, "If there's nothing else, I'll head back now. I have a lot of things to do."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tang Feifei paused for a moment before inviting him, "Would you like to come to my house for dinner tonight?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu turned to look at her and then asked, "What do you want to eat? Stir-fry? Or snake stew?"

Tang Feifei: ....

Tang Feifei narrowed her eyes, a dangerous glint flashing across her wheat-colored face.

She's not the kind of girl who gets teased but doesn't dare to talk back.

Although she's not good with words, she's never afraid of anyone when it comes to actions.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu quickly regained his composure and said, "I have something to do tonight. Something important."

Tang Feifei didn't speak, her wheat-colored face filled with disbelief.

Qiu Tu said, "It's related to whether I can control the New Territories."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tang Feifei paused for a moment, then remained silent for two seconds before finally waving her hand dismissively and getting up to go to her desk to begin handling official business...

Although she was Qiu Tu's boss and his competitor, she was also... Qiu Tu's friend.

If they compete fairly and she wins in the end, she will be overjoyed. But if she uses tricks to hold Qiu Tu back and wins in the end, then she... will probably never be able to look Qiu Tu in the eye again in this lifetime.

She was unwilling and disdainful of doing such a thing!

Seeing Tang Feifei's attitude, Qiu Tu's lips curled up slightly, then he waved to Tang Feifei and walked outside.

He wasn't lying to Tang Feifei; he had important business to attend to tonight. It was indeed related to his control of the New Territories.

That is... to go see Zhao Ji, the great evil god who controls eight areas of the Boundless Heart Sea!

During this time, Qiu Tu has obtained enough intelligence and information from La Riluo and the "memory fragments".

It's time to have a talk with her.

Qiu Tu felt that if the conversation tonight went well, perhaps... the current chaotic situation in the New Territories would be completely quelled.

And he will get what he wants...

...

With that thought in mind, Qiu Tu left Tang Feifei's office and began preparing for his second meeting with Zhao Ji...

Time flies, and soon a day has passed.

At 5 PM, Qiu Tu left work on time. He called Tan Huimin, packed their things, and headed towards the eastern city of the prefecture capital...

At 6:30 p.m., Qiu Tu and Tan Huimin arrived in Dongcheng.

At 7 o'clock, the two went to the hotel where they had stayed last time and checked in.

At 7:20, Qiu Tu, just like last time, arranged everything and then began the ritual to summon Zhao Ji.

At 7:30, everything was ready. Qiu Tu officially launched the ceremony...

.......

at the same time.

The spiritual world, the boundless sea of ​​the heart.

Amidst broken tiles and ruins.

The sun shone above Zhao Ji's head, her hands were covered in blood, and she held a beating heart in her hand. Her eyes were as deep as a cold pool, gleaming with a chilling light.

Beneath her lay an old man, shirtless, with a bronze complexion, incredibly fit, and sporting a white beard.

At this moment, the old man had a large hole in his chest, his eyes wide open, his face full of disbelief.

But it didn't work...

In the face of death, gods and men are all equal.

Once his heart was ripped out and his body was pierced through, he had already embarked on the one-way street to death...

Therefore, in just a moment, his divine body slowly crystallized, transforming into the highest-grade cataclysmic material: Boundless Divine Crystal...

Seeing this, Zeji nonchalantly tossed her equally crystallized heart to the ground, then closed her eyes, seemingly sensing something...

I don't know how much time has passed.

It might have taken only seven or eight seconds, or it might have taken a minute or two, before Zehime suddenly opened her eyes.

Her skin, as white as snow, seemed to have been baptized by ice and snow, shimmering with a crystalline glow.

Nine points of light slowly appeared on her forehead!

As these nine points of light appeared, the white mist in the surrounding area rapidly spread towards the area where Zhao Ji was located.

In just a moment, the entire area of ​​broken tiles and ruins was shrouded in white mist.

Then, the white mist slowly dissipated, and the original ruins transformed into a desolate desert...

It's as if they've been assimilated.

If someone were to ascend above the Boundless Sea of ​​the Heart and look down, they would discover that in the southwest of the Boundless Sea of ​​the Heart, nine regions have been completely connected. And all of them are desolate deserts devoid of human presence.

This is the domain of the Great Evil Goddess Zephyr...

At this moment, within this vast area, Zhao Ji once again looked up towards the east, towards the central region of the boundless sea of ​​her heart...

Her cold, piercing eyes were deep and unfathomable, like a bottomless spring...

"We will go back..."

Just as she was muttering this to herself, she suddenly seemed to sense something, and her brows furrowed.

Moments later, the blazing sun above her head transformed into the moon, and the next second, she was sucked into the moon and then returned to her divine realm...

...

Upon arriving at the Divine Realm for the second time, Qiu Tu was once again greeted by boundless darkness.

This time, Zhao Ji seemed to be a little late. Qiu Tu greeted her several times and waited for more than ten minutes.

Only then did he hear Zhao Ji's icy voice, "It's you again?"

Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu felt for some reason that Zhao Ji seemed to be in a much better mood than last time.

Could it be... that something happy happened?

Thinking this way, Qiu Tu felt a little more at ease, feeling that the chances of his plan succeeding tonight might be greater.

With that in mind, he went ahead with his plan and dropped a bombshell.

He excitedly told Zhao Ji, "Sister Yueyue, I've come to tell you some great news! I've finally found Princess Lariluo!"

This bombshell was indeed ruthless, so upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji remained silent for a full three seconds before slowly saying, "Very well... that's good."

After saying that, she unusually asked, "Where is she now?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu deliberately feigned a troubled expression. He said, "His Highness forbade me from telling you..."

Zhao Ji chuckled softly, but didn't say anything.

Qiu Tu also kept his composure and stopped speaking first.

And so, the entire divine realm fell silent for a moment.

1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds...

The two remained silent for more than ten seconds before Zhao Ji slowly uttered three words, "Why?"

Qiu Tu was waiting for these words. So he looked up and said somewhat hesitantly, "Princess Lariluo... suspects there's something going on between us."

“She’s very angry right now, and… she keeps calling me brother-in-law.”

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, a question mark slowly appeared above Zhao Ji's head in the darkness: ?
