Then let them offer their loyalty!

Thinking this, Jasmine suddenly seemed to realize something and thought to herself, "Oh no."

As soon as she finished saying "bad," the space in front of her and Qiu Tu distorted.

The next second, a stunningly beautiful woman with an oval face and deep, aloof eyes appeared out of thin air before the two of them. It was none other than Zhao Ji.

Upon seeing Qiu Tu, Zhao Ji's expression remained unreadable, but her eyes clearly showed surprise.

She looked at Qiu Tu, then asked in a calm tone, "You... you're already at the peak of the fourth-level God King?"

Qiu Tu did all this not only to spite Jasmine, but also, and most importantly, to see Zhao Ji.

Therefore, upon seeing Zhao Ji and hearing her question, Qiu Tu did not answer her question immediately, but instead said, "Sister Zhao Ji, it's been a long time."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji paused for a second before saying, "Actually, I've always been able to see you..."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu smiled and said, "So Sister Zhao Ji never left."

"Then I hope you won't leave in the future."

After saying that, Qiu Tu took the opportunity to extend another invitation, "Since Sister Zhao Ji has been able to see me, she must know that I invited you to join me in 'Destroying the Royal Court,' right?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji nodded slightly and then said, "I agree."

Qiu Tu has worked so hard for so long, and all he wanted was this one sentence.

Therefore, after receiving Zhao Ji's affirmative reply, Qiu Tu couldn't help but smile.

At that moment, only Jasmine was inside the room, slapping her forehead.

'It's over, it's over, Xiyue is really going to be kidnapped!'

'What should I do...?'

.....

The "Ancient World" is currently in a state of turmoil, so even a high-ranking god-king cannot control everything.

This also meant that once Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji went their separate ways, Jasmine was unable to stop them.

That afternoon, Qiu Tu went to Elena and the Ink God King to report on his progress in this secluded cultivation and expressed his intention to set off for the "Destruction Court".

The Ink God King was alright, after all, he was one of the four great powers. Even though he was surprised, he didn't show it.

However, Elena was truly astonished when she heard that Qiu Tu had successfully cultivated to the peak of level four in just 30 days.

She looked at Qiu Tu intently for a moment, and finally said, "I'm starting to regret supporting you in going on such a dangerous mission."

"Your talent... perhaps it really should be preserved as a seed."

"I'll assign you dozens of beautiful goddesses. I estimate that within a few decades, our 'Order Path' will produce a group of powerful fourth-level god-kings, guardian god-kings, and even high-level god-kings..."

Qiu Tu:? ?

Qiu Tu was completely puzzled by Elena's words.

Wait a minute, isn't the "seed" in "fire seed" the same as the "seed" in "stud"?

You should have said so earlier! I would have at least hesitated a bit back then.

Of course, Qiu Tu may have been complaining in his heart, but if he were given the chance to do it all over again, he would probably still make the same choice.

After all, his personality dictates that he enjoys the waves and being a trendsetter!

.....

Qiu Tu wanted to become a trendsetter of the times, but then he encountered the God King of the Vast Ocean.

After being humiliated several times by Qiu Tu, the God King of the Vast Ocean clearly learned his lesson.

Upon seeing Qiu Tu, he didn't immediately mock him. Instead, he chuckled and tentatively asked, "Has God King Qiu Tu emerged from seclusion? I wonder how your cultivation is progressing?"

Compared to his honesty with Jasmine and Elena, Qiu Tu was noticeably more wary when facing the God King of the Vast Sea.

A hint of annoyance appeared on his face, but he said, "The cultivation is going very smoothly. Lord Hanhai, there's no need to worry."

Seeing him like this, the Vast Sea God King, feeling that he had guessed everything, suppressed his joy and encouraged Qiu Tu, "Lord Qiu Tu, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"Sometimes, the greater the pressure, the more likely you are to achieve less with more effort."

Qiu Tu simply smiled and nodded, without saying anything.

After obtaining the important information, the Vast Ocean God King immediately shared it with the Heavy Stone God King and the Star Forging God King.

Upon hearing that Qiu Tu's seclusion had indeed not progressed well, both of their aged, stone-like faces couldn't help but reveal a smile.

As enemies, they naturally wanted Qiu Tu to be as weak as possible. Only then could Qiu Tu possibly remain in the "Destruction Court" forever...

......

In the evening, Qiu Tu finally set off and left the "Land of the God of Wine".

For this mission, he didn't bring any of his confidants or subordinate gods, only one person: Zhao Ji.

After all, his mission this time was to infiltrate the "Destroyed Royal Court," gather intelligence, and rebuild the intelligence network.

In this situation, more people are not necessarily better. On the contrary, fewer people are less likely to attract attention.

However, what he didn't know was... on the night he left.

Dionysus Kingdom, a dimly lit basement.

There were 108 small altar arrays arranged around the room, each engraved with various mysterious patterns. These patterns connected and extended all the way to the very center of the room: a brazier made of "divine gold".

A deity dressed in a black robe and wearing a hood is standing in front of the brazier, holding a piece of paper in his hand.

A moment later, the figure wrote a few lines on the note: Qiu Tu, a second-level God King, suspected of possessing abilities such as transformation and interrogation. Currently on his way to the "Destruction Royal Court," accompanied by a woman.

After writing down the intelligence, He threw the note into the brazier at His feet.

The next second, green flames shot into the sky, licking at the note. The note slowly turned to ash and then vanished without a trace...

.....

Meanwhile.

After leaving the "Kingdom of Wine" with Zhao Ji, Qiu Tu, flying in the white mist, admired the beautiful scenery of the vast white expanse before him, which resembled an ocean of mist, and then turned his head to look at Zhao Ji.

Perhaps sensing Qiu Tu's gaze, Zhao Ji looked at Qiu Tu as she flew.

When their eyes met, Zhao Ji tilted her head slightly. Although she didn't speak and her face didn't show much expression, it seemed as if she had said everything: What's wrong?

Seeing this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but smile.

Then he looked at Zhao Ji beside him and said, "Sister Zhao Ji, we've now traveled quite a distance from the 'Kingdom of Wine,' I think we should start disguising ourselves..."

Perhaps because Qiu Tu's strength is now comparable to her own, or perhaps because they have gradually developed feelings for each other over the years, Zhao Ji's attitude towards Qiu Tu is now noticeably more peaceful.

Even so, she still hasn't changed her arrogant and domineering nature.

So, upon hearing Qiu Tu's suggestion, she glanced at him indifferently and said, "Why pretend?"

Zhao Ji's question startled Qiu Tu, who almost didn't react.

Why disguise yourself? Of course, it's to infiltrate and gather intelligence, and avoid being discovered.

Perhaps guessing what Qiu Tu was about to say, Zhao Ji merely glanced at him indifferently before asking, "Why do you want to avoid being discovered?"

“If he is discovered, kill him with one sword.”

After saying that, she paused for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Isn't this the reason you brought me along this time?"

Upon hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu silently counted "6" in his mind...

The King of Pretenders truly lives up to his name; every time he tries to be pretentious, his angle is so refreshingly unique.

However, although Zhao Ji was telling the truth, Qiu Tu couldn't admit it. Therefore, his expression remained unchanged, a testament to his masterful acting skills.

Instead, he looked at Zhao Ji and said righteously, "Sister Zhao Ji, you've really misunderstood me by saying that."

“Although I am still far inferior to you now…” Qiu Tu first flattered Zhao Ji, then continued, “but… there are very few people in this world who can hurt me, so I don’t really need your protection anymore.”

Seeing that Zhao Ji wasn't angry despite his actions of praising and suppressing her, Qiu Tu continued,

"And the reason I went to so much trouble to rescue you from Jasmine was all because..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Ji subtly corrected his wording, "It wasn't a rescue. Jasmine didn't do anything to me. In fact... she even helped heal my wounds."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu didn't argue. He said, "Well... I called you out from Jasmine's place..."

"I did this because I haven't seen you in a long time and wanted to see you, and also because I was thinking about your future."

"Although you are currently a fourth-level God King, you have neither resources nor subordinate gods. It will take too long for you to advance further and unleash your talents."

"So, I went to great lengths to obtain resources for you, and I specifically brought you along on this trip to the 'Destruction Court' to help you deal with the subordinate gods or the Law of Destruction, paving the way for your advancement."

When he said these words, Qiu Tu's eyes were firm and unwavering, as if he was bringing Zhao Ji along and that everything he did was for Zhao Ji's sake.

Having spent a lot of time with Qiu Tu, Zhao Ji had become familiar with his routine: this guy was obviously just spouting nonsense and trying to fool her.

However, even though she knew Qiu Tu was just trying to comfort her, a slight smile still appeared on her lips.

Seeing that he had made Zhao Ji happy, Qiu Tu changed the subject and continued to earnestly persuade her.

He said, "Besides... disguising our identities is also for our own safety."

"After all, don't forget we're heading to the 'Royal Court of Destruction'."

"The 'Destruction Court' is overseen by the 'Destruction Tyrant'."

“A high-ranking god-king, and one who has a grudge against you. We should be careful.”

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji's face, as white as freshly fallen snow, remained expressionless. Her eyes were confident and sharp. "He's merely a high-ranking God-King. Do I need to avoid his sharp edge?"

"He is a god-king, and so am I. He cultivates the 'path of destruction,' and so do I. Why don't you ask him if he fears me?"

Qiu Tu: .....

To be honest, if Qiu Tu hadn't asked about Zhao Ji's strength on the way and learned that she was only at the peak of the fourth-level God King like himself, he would have really thought that Zhao Ji was already a Supreme God King.

The tone was as if the best person in the world wasn't Jasmine, but her.

Of course, Qiu Tu only dared to think these complaints in his heart and dared not say them out loud.

After all, he knew that Zhao Ji didn't have any bad intentions; she just liked to show off. He could just go along with her, flatter her, and give her a few compliments; there was no need to go against her.

After all, it's also recorded in "The Emotional Handbook".

The 21st of 108 ways to enhance feelings in "The Emotional Handbook": Talking along with a girl is the simplest way to increase feelings.

After all, regardless of gender, everyone likes to be recognized and respected, and no one likes to be contradicted or lectured.

Therefore, if you are unsure of the right thing to do at any given moment, going along with the other person is definitely the simplest and least likely to make a mistake.

Of course, going along with the other person must be based on the premise that it doesn't go against your wishes, and it doesn't violate the law or morality. And... make sure the other person isn't the kind of girl who takes advantage of you.

In modern society, too many girls are spoiled or pampered, which leads them to develop a habit of taking advantage of others.

The more you go along with the other person, the more they will take advantage of you.

In this situation, going along with the other person is like drinking poison to quench thirst. You might gain some favor in the short term, but in the long run, it will definitely be a losing proposition.

Of course... if you just want to experience being a girlfriend for a day, then you don't need to worry too much about the future. Just be sweet and charming.

After all, these days, only scammers can meet the needs of many girls.

In contrast, Zehime, an evil god who has not been ravaged by the human world, is clearly different.

All these years later, as long as Qiu Tu flatters her, she can immediately be coaxed into pouting eyes; it has never changed.

With that in mind, Qiu Tu began playing the Zhao Ji flute without any hesitation.

He said, "Sister Zhaoji, you're right. What are high-level god-kings? In front of you, they're nothing but a single sword strike."

"You don't kill him only because he's not in your way."

"Otherwise, you could send him to meet the 'Origin of the World' in no time."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's praise, Zhao Ji's smile widened, but then she quickly withdrew it as if afraid of being discovered by Qiu Tu.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu knew he had hit Zhao Ji's sweet spot. So he changed the subject, saying, "However... Sister Zhao Ji, I'm here on a mission this time."

"I'm going to the 'Destroy the Royal Court' to rebuild the intelligence network."
