Then let them offer their loyalty!

"During the 'God-King Conference,' because the time was too short, I didn't figure it out."

"But after the meeting, I carefully recalled and deduced the entire exchange, and realized that his meticulous thinking and sensitive perception were all top-notch."

At this point, God-King Mitchell couldn't help but smile. "No wonder Ink values ​​him so much and even wants to keep him as a seed of fire."

Hearing Mitchell speak so highly of Qiu Tu, the Heavy Stone God King couldn't help but tentatively ask, "Your Majesty... have you taken a liking to talent?"

"Or... I could try to contact him and persuade him to join Your Majesty's ranks?"

Upon hearing the words of the Heavy Stone God King, Mitchell waved his hand slightly and said, "Appreciation is one thing, but acceptance is another."

"Actually, we're not very compatible. I have a rather domineering personality and I especially hate it when my subordinates act on their own."

"So, if I were Mo Se today, I probably wouldn't stand up for Qiu Tu either."

"Moreover... the countless small worlds of the 'Eternal Continent' are teeming with talented individuals. Since he has chosen the color black and is deliberately opposing us, he is an enemy."

"So... although I admire him, I don't want to recruit him to my team."

At this point, Mitchell pointed to His Highness the Heavy Stone God King, "On the contrary, you should give it your all and fight him; that is the only way to truly respect him."

Upon hearing Mitchell's words, the Heavy Stone God King quickly cupped his hands and said, "Yes."

After saying that, perhaps to show that he and his companions were not just being perfunctory, he added, "Your Majesty, please rest assured."

"Although Qiu Tu did not fall into the trap of the 'Immortal Heavenly Tomb' we had set up."

"However... the 'Destroy the Royal Court' is also very dangerous. We have also prepared a backup plan..."

Upon hearing the words of the Heavy Stone God-King, a hint of satisfaction finally appeared on Mitchell's face...

...

Just as the Heavy Stone God King and Mitchell were plotting against Qiu Tu.

At this moment, Qiu Tu finally arrived at the "Wine Pool".

Since becoming Elena's patron, Qiu Tu has become half a master in the eyes of Elena's maids. Although he still cannot freely enter or leave some confidential areas, he has his own free pass to entertainment venues like the Wine Pool.

So, although Elena had not yet returned, when Qiu Tu suggested that they enter the wine pool in advance to wait, they hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

"Your Majesty Qiu Tu, this way please..."

Following Elena's personal maid, Qiu Tu went to the changing room, took a shower, put on a bathrobe, and stepped into the wine area.

The deities who could serve Elena, the guardian god-king, were naturally all clever and resourceful. Since Qiu Tu had already been allowed in, they naturally served him with utmost care.

Therefore, as soon as Qiu Tu entered the wine pool area, the maids gracefully brought over wine and dishes and activated the array inside the wine pool.

As the formation was activated, within just a few seconds, the once calm, mirror-like wine pool began to be enveloped in wisps of white mist. Within the mist, songstresses played string and wind instruments, and deities could be vaguely seen dancing within it.

In just a moment, the entire wine pool transformed into a paradise on earth.

"Your Majesty, please enter the wine pool~~" The goddess attendant beside Qiu Tu bowed slightly in acknowledgment.

Qiu Tu nodded, then stepped into the wine pool first, soaking and drinking while waiting for Elena to return....

However, what he didn't know was that not long after he entered the wine pool, a woman also came to the outside of the wine pool.

Looking at the rising steam from the wine pool, Qing'e, who had arrived late and was also waiting for Elena, let out a soft "Eh," a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

'Why is the wine tank heated up and emitting alcoholic aromas? Has the master returned?'

Why didn't she tell me?

Thinking this, Qing'e stepped into the dressing room and instructed, "Help me change into a bathrobe. I'm going to the wine pool to keep the master company."

Requesting monthly votes

Chapter 854 Elena: Am I too early? (Seeking monthly votes)

Qiu Tu could freely enter and exit the wine pool, let alone Qing'e.

Or rather, as Elena's assistant, she was actually the direct superior of these maids.

Therefore, upon hearing her instructions, the maids standing at the door exchanged glances, but dared not stop her and simply stepped aside.

Qing'e didn't notice the slightly strange expressions on the faces of the maids as she stepped into the wine pool courtyard. Her pure white dress swayed slightly with each step, appearing elegant and refined in the moonlight, perfectly blending into the intoxicating wine pool.

Watching her retreating figure, one of the maids standing at the door hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward to call her back and report that Qiu Tu was in the wine pool. Her lips parted slightly, and her hand unconsciously rose.

Just then, another maid beside her quickly reached out and pressed down on her arm.

The maid was clearly puzzled as she was held down by her companion.

She couldn't help but look at her companion beside her, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, her eyes silently asking: What's wrong?

Her companion simply lowered her head and shook it slightly at her.

The two clearly had a good relationship, so when her companion gave her a hint, the maid stopped trying to report and stood there with her head down. She slowly lowered her raised hand, her fingers lightly rubbing the hem of her dress, clearly still hesitant.

Only after Qing'e entered the courtyard and could no longer hear the two talking did the companion who wanted to report to the maid breathe a sigh of relief.

She looked at the maid who was about to report, then asked in a low voice, "What were you trying to do just now?"

Upon hearing this, the maid whispered, "I would like to report that His Majesty Qiu Tu just entered the wine pool."

At this point, the maid was also a little puzzled. She asked in confusion, "Did I do something wrong?" Her face was full of innocence and bewilderment.

Hearing her words, her companion lowered his voice and said, "Of course you were wrong."

Her companion explained in a low voice, "You were just transferred to His Majesty's side to serve him personally, and you clearly don't know the rules."

"The most important thing for us servants is not cleverness, but stupidity."

"No matter when, I will not look, listen, or ask."

"And the same applies to matters concerning Your Majesty: unless Your Majesty asks for it yourself, do not presume to offer any reminders."

Hearing her companion's words, the maid was clearly confused. She couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

The senior maid glared at her irritably and said, "I told you not to ask questions."

Upon hearing her companion's words, the newly appointed maid quickly said "Oh" and shut her mouth.

Seeing her like that, the senior maid sighed softly, but ultimately softened and offered an explanation.

"Because...you have no idea whether His Majesty truly doesn't know, or is deliberately pretending not to know."

She gave an example, "like what happened tonight."

“After Qing’e arrived at the wine pool, she didn’t ask any questions and went straight in.”

"If she knows it's His Majesty Qiu Tu inside and went in on purpose, and you remind her, breaking the ice, will she go in or not?"

"If you don't speak and just do your job, then whatever happens later will be none of your business. But if you say the wrong thing, it could bring disaster upon yourself."

"Therefore, when you're around these important figures, you must answer all their questions without reservation when they ask; but when they don't ask, you must also refrain from listening, looking, asking, and speaking..."

Upon hearing the words of the more senior maid, the maid who had just been about to report suddenly showed a look of realization.

She glanced gratefully at her companion, thanked her sincerely, and stood respectfully at the door again...

The other maids serving at the door clearly heard the conversation, but they showed no reaction. They simply stood there indifferently, neither looking, listening, asking, nor speaking...

This rule was clearly the workplace code for these goddess servants. Furthermore, Qing'e hadn't expected Qiu Tu to dare enter the wine pool first to wait for Elena, so she didn't ask any questions.

So, with the help of her maid, she changed into her semi-transparent bathrobe and entered the wine area, half-concealed. In the swirling mist of the wine, her figure appeared slender and graceful, her form subtly revealed.

At this moment, the wine pool area was shrouded in white mist, and decadent music accompanied light songs and dances, making it seem like both a fairyland and a place of depravity.

However, Qing'e, who had served Elena for many years, had seen many such scenes, so she did not care and instead walked into the wine pool with her long legs.

As the fragrant wine slowly seeped up to her ankles, calves, thighs, and waist, half of her body was immersed in the golden liquid. Then she followed the direction of the figure in the white mist.

Although Qiu Tu doesn't have many opportunities to fight and his combat skills are average, he is usually very vigilant because he has offended too many people.

Even though the mist in the wine pool had the ability to shield mental energy, he could still clearly sense a woman approaching him.

In his mind, the only one who could freely enter the wine pool was Elena, whom he had made an appointment with.

So when the woman reached his arm's length, he didn't hesitate to reach out and pull her into his arms. "You've come?"

As he spoke, Qiu Tu's hand naturally rested on the woman's chest.

As a result, the moment his hand touched the woman's apple-shaped breasts, he paused for a moment: Huh? The feel is wrong.

At that moment, accompanied by the "splashing" sound of the wine, the woman in his arms let out a suppressed scream. Her body trembled violently as if she had been electrocuted, and she tried to break free from Qiu Tu's embrace.

Hearing that familiar voice and seeing the beautiful face of the woman emerging from the white mist, Qiu Tu finally realized that he seemed to have hugged the wrong person and touched the wrong person!

"Qing'e?"

"Lord Qiu Tu?"

With a soft gasp from both of them, the two people embracing stared at each other, completely bewildered...

......

Meanwhile.

Outside the wine pool, Elena, dressed in a plain-colored outfit, slowly approached.

The task Mitchell assigned her this time was clearly a bit troublesome, so even with her energy to guard the God King, there was some fatigue in her eyes.

Upon seeing Elena's arrival, the maids all knelt down and greeted her, "Your Majesty!"

Elena waved her hand dismissively, her gaze sweeping over the steaming wine vat like a graceful maiden. Her expression seemed casual, but it was in fact full of inquiry.

Then she looked at the maid at the door and asked, "Is it Qiu Tu or Qing'e who has arrived?"

Upon hearing her question, the senior maidservant quickly curtsied and bowed her head, saying, "Your Majesty, both God-King Qiu Tu and God-King Qing E have arrived."

"God King Qiu Tu arrived first, and God King Qing E arrived later."

She strictly adhered to her teachings to the new maids, saying only what should be said and refraining from saying what shouldn't be said.

After all, if those in power are truly interested, they will ask themselves: just like Elena is doing now.

Upon hearing the words of the senior maid, Elena's lips curled slightly, her eyebrows rose, and a look of surprise appeared on her beautiful face.

She asked, "Are Qiu Tu and Qing'e both inside? Are they bathing together?"

The senior maid bowed her head. "I don't know. I only know that God King Qiu Tu and God King Qing E both changed into bathrobes and went to the wine pool."

Upon hearing the senior maid's words, Elena's face revealed a strange expression.

As the "World Ruler" of the "Wine God Kingdom," she holds the highest authority in this world. Therefore, while the wine mist in the wine pool can isolate Qiu Tu and Qing'e's spiritual power, it cannot isolate her.

Therefore, she easily saw the situation in the wine pool through the authority of the "Lord of the World", and of course she also saw Qiu Tu and Qing'e embracing each other!

For a fleeting moment, even the usually lazy Elena couldn't help but clench her fists.

Her feeling was very similar to that of a wealthy woman who is bisexual, only to find out when she gets home that her kept man is having sex with his canary.

At that moment, Elena was unsure whether she should be angry or feel that this was a double dose of excitement...

Or perhaps... I actually arrived too early?

After standing there for two seconds at the door, Elena came to her senses, nodded slightly to the senior maid, and stepped into the wine pool.

Upon entering the wine pool courtyard, Elena changed into a sheer bathrobe in the dressing room before stepping towards the wine pool.

Perhaps sensing that someone else had entered the wine pool, Qiu Tu and Qing'e, who had just been embracing, quickly separated.

Qiu Tu has done many things far more outrageous than what he did tonight over the years, so although he felt a little embarrassed, his expression remained unchanged.

Compared to him, Qing'e was clearly much younger.

Perhaps feeling like she had stolen Elena's man, Qing'e's cheeks flushed pink from the rising wine, clearly showing her unease. She lowered her head, her hands still combing her hair.

Seeing this, Elena did not expose the romantic relationship between the two.

She still had that lazy look on her face, and then said, "I didn't expect you two to arrive so early."

Elena may have just said it casually, but to Qing'e it sounded like a criticism.

So she quickly explained, "Your Majesty, I thought you arrived first..."

At this point, Qing'e probably felt that she was trying to hide something, so she swallowed back what she was about to say.

Compared to her, Qiu Tu was much more natural. He responded to Elena's words quite naturally.

He smiled and said, "Of course I arrived early, after all... I have quite a few questions I'd like to ask Your Majesty." He had a frank smile on his face, as if nothing had just happened.
