After the female official finished speaking, the entire tent fell into a deathly silence.

The female official lowered her head, even her breathing was extremely soft, and she dared not make the slightest movement. She knew that her suggestion was somewhat presumptuous, and she didn't know if she would anger the true overlord of the "path of destruction" before her.

After a long while, Princess Huiming stopped tapping her fingers.

A barely perceptible hesitation flashed in her phoenix eyes.

After a moment, she slowly raised her eyes and looked at the sky outside the tent, which was stained red by the flames of war, her gaze deep and profound.

"Never mind," she said calmly. "Let's talk about it when she arrives."

"Yes, Your Highness," the lady-in-waiting replied respectfully, then her figure flickered and silently disappeared into the shadows.

Silence slowly descended upon the tent. Only the flickering light on the sand table illuminated the exquisite face of Princess Huiming...

......

In order to launch this great war that would affect the entire "Ancient World", the "Destruction Tyrant" moved the "Royal Court" thousands of miles away to the west.

This made it easier for the "Royal Court" to directly participate in the war, and it also allowed Qiu Tu to arrive in the "Chaotic Western Capital" in a short time.

Upon arriving in "Chaotic West Capital" once again, one is greeted by a shattered landscape, massive craters, and jagged ravines.

The shouts of battle, the bombardment of cataclysmic abilities, and the dying screams of gods intertwined, creating a chaotic and bloody symphony of war.

Qiu Tu stopped in his tracks, his figure hidden in the shadows. His eyes, beneath the silver mask, calmly gazed at the hellish scene before him.

Without pausing, he once again merged into the darkness, silently traversing the chaotic battlefield and making his way towards the "Destruction Court's" position.

Upon arriving at the "Destroy the Royal Court" stronghold, Qiu Tu appeared, and soon a female official came to greet him.

"Lord Silver Mask, His Highness is waiting for you inside. Please follow me..."

Upon hearing the female official's words, Qiu Tu remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Kneading, petting, sleeping... ah, no... Princess of Radiant Fate, I'm here...

Lifting the curtain, Qiu Tu followed the female official into the tent.

The clamor of battle and the heavy stench of blood outside seemed to be kept out by an invisible barrier.

The tent was spacious and simply furnished, with only a few chairs and a huge black wooden table piled high with various documents and battle reports.

Before the table stood a huge sand table, its surface densely marked with divine light dots depicting the battlefield. Princess Huiming stood quietly with her hands behind her back, gazing intently at the war sand table before her.

Qiu Tu and the female official's footsteps were very light, but they were exceptionally clear in the quiet tent where you could hear a pin drop.

Seemingly hearing footsteps, she slowly turned around.

For a moment, even Qiu Tu, who was used to seeing beautiful women, couldn't help but hold his breath.

What an absolutely stunning face it was.

Her features were exquisitely beautiful, like the most perfect creation of a god, yet she was cold and detached from any earthly concerns. Her long, black hair was unbound, cascading down to her waist like an ink waterfall, which made her appear even more elegant in the black python robe embroidered with gold patterns.

This is the destiny of the First Princess, Hui.

Qiu Tu quickly compared the person in front of him with the image in the information, and then, imitating the posture of the Cloud Cat God King, he bowed slightly and paid his respects.

"Your Highness, the items have been retrieved."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Princess Huiming did not respond immediately. Her cold phoenix eyes silently scrutinized him, as if trying to see through him from the inside out.

Time ticked by, and the atmosphere inside the tent grew increasingly oppressive.

Qiu Tu remained motionless, bowing deeply, but his vigilance was already at its highest level.

After a moment, Princess Huiming finally spoke.

No need for formalities.

Her voice was cold and devoid of any emotional fluctuation, as if she were simply stating a given fact.

"Yes, Your Highness." Qiu Tu responded respectfully, mimicking the slightly sweet voice of the Cloud Cat God King. He then presented the jade box wrapped in cloth to the female official with both hands.

The female official took the jade box and quickly delivered it to Princess Huiming.

Princess Huiming's gaze lingered on the jade box for only a moment before falling back on Qiu Tu.

She did not accept the jade box, but instead asked, "Was there anything unusual on the way?"

"Everything went smoothly, no abnormalities were found," Qiu Tu replied flawlessly.

Huiming gave a noncommittal "hmm," then extended her slender, fair hand to take the jade box. Her fingertips were icy cold, and the heartbeat emanating from within the jade box seemed to pause the moment she touched it.

She stroked the smooth surface of the jade box, her phoenix eyes slightly lowered, lost in thought.

The entire tent fell into a deathly silence, with only the lights on the sand table flickering silently.

After a moment, she sat down, casually placed the jade box on the table beside her, and then waved to the female official.

The female official quickly bowed and then backed away from the tent.

For a moment, only Qiu Tu and Princess Huiming remained in the entire tent.

The tent fell silent once again.

Qiu Tu knew for certain that the real test was about to begin.

Hui ordered him to be transferred here, and it wasn't just to deliver a box.

She was doubting, she was testing.

Now that the box has arrived, the fact that she left me here is itself a signal, a test. I must perform perfectly to dispel her suspicions.

As Qiu Tu thought about this, every detail that Cloud Cat God King had told him on the way flashed through his mind.

'The Cloud Cat God King said... Huiming doesn't like to take the initiative...'

'Most of the time, it's Cloud Cat God King who takes the initiative to find her...'

'And when Huiming has been handling official duties for a long time, or when he encounters a major event, he will want to pet the Cloud Cat God King....'

'This is also a way for the two of them to strengthen their relationship...'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu's gaze swept over the mountain of files on the table without leaving a trace, and then glanced at the extremely complex battle scenario on the sand table.

Clearly, Huiming must have been working extremely hard during this period and is in a rather exhausted state.

This is an opportunity.

But it is also a risk.

If you do it right, you can instantly dispel 80% of her suspicions.

However, if he makes a mistake, Princess Huiming might immediately see through his identity.

At this distance, Qiu Tu couldn't even escape.

Thinking this through, Qiu Tu quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

After a moment, he made up his mind.

He glanced at the upper left corner of his vision, and after confirming that his sense of danger had not been triggered, he removed the silver mask from his face.

As the silver mask was removed, space distorted, and his figure began to shrink rapidly.

A moment later, the one standing in the same spot was no longer the cold-blooded silver-masked god-king, but a cat-eared loli with a petite figure and sparkling eyes, dressed in a black palace dress.

It was none other than the Cloud Cat God King himself.

Huiming's golden eyes flickered slightly, but quickly returned to calm, though the scrutinizing look in them was even stronger.

Qiu Tu, or rather "Cloud Cat God King," paid no attention to her gaze.

With her bare, delicate white feet, she walked gracefully with a cat-like gait to Huiming's side.

Then, without saying a word, she simply changed her posture once again.

With a soft "poof," the little girl disappeared, replaced by a long-haired cat that was pure white except for its four paws and the tip of its tail.

The cat's eyes were a rare heterochromatic color, one gold and one blue, like two translucent gems, sparkling with a lively light.

It raised its head, looked at Huiming in the main seat with its beautiful heterochromatic eyes, and then let out a soft "meow~".

Then, with a light leap, it jumped onto the table, and with elegant cat steps, it bypassed the files, finally stopping beside Huiming's hand. Then, it gently rubbed its fluffy head against the back of Huiming's cold hand.

Huiming's body stiffened almost imperceptibly.

Those cold eyes quietly gazed at the snow-white cat beside them, a faint light flickering deep within them.

The white cat was completely oblivious to the change in Princess Huiming's emotions. After rubbing against the back of her hand, it took advantage of the situation and jumped onto Huiming's slender legs. Then it found a comfortable spot to curl up and made a satisfied purring sound.

For a moment, only the faint snoring could be heard in the entire tent.

Huiming remained motionless, sitting quietly, seemingly lost in thought.

Having transformed into a white cat and lying on Princess Huiming's lap, Qiu Tu was somewhat at a loss.

He was clearly acting in accordance with the personality of the Cloud Cat God King and his habit of being close to the Radiant Princess.

Why... isn't it working?

Did I do something wrong with my acting that aroused her suspicion?

But that shouldn't be the case...

Because the sense of crisis was not triggered at all.

What happened?

Just as Qiu Tu was thinking this, Princess Huiming finally made a move.

She slowly lowered her eyes, her gaze falling on the ball of white fur on her slender, shapely legs.

Then... she reached out her other hand.

The slender, white hand, like a work of art, slowly, with a hint of hesitation, landed on the white cat's head.

When his fingertips touched the soft, smooth fur, Huiming's eyes flickered almost imperceptibly for a moment.

Then... she didn't hesitate at all and gently began to stroke it.

Feeling the Radiant Princess stroking him, Qiu Tu narrowed his eyes in enjoyment.

You know what... being a cat isn't so bad. You can lie on a beautiful woman's lap and get petted all over.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu raised his short legs, pretending to adjust his posture, and touched Princess Huiming's slender legs.

It feels amazing to the touch, and the skin is so smooth and delicate.

'As expected of a high-ranking god-king. Truly impressive.'

'If I wait until I regain my true form and then go out and say I touched the leg of the First Princess, who rules the "Destruction Court," who would believe me!'

Princess Huiming had no idea what Qiu Tu was thinking. The Cloud Cat God King might not be wrong; in private, she was indeed a gentle woman who enjoyed petting cats and raising fish. Therefore, despite her many doubts, she couldn't help herself when her hand touched Qiu Tu's cat fur.

And so, on that battlefield where the three paths clashed and countless gods perished, the god and the cat found a moment of leisure.

The somewhat somber atmosphere in the tent was softened by Qiu Tu's actions...

And so, after silently stroking Qiu Tu for a while, Princess Huiming looked at Qiu Tu on her lap with a somewhat complicated expression.

To be honest... it was quite unexpected that this "Cloud Cat God King" dared to jump onto her lap.

Because... before this incident, she was almost 90% sure that Cloud Cat God King had been replaced or controlled by someone using special methods.

But... after the kitten in front of her jumped, her doubts dwindled to only 3%.

Who is she? She is Princess Huiming, a high-ranking god-king of the "Path of Destruction" and the actual ruler of the "Royal Court of Destruction".

Even other high-ranking god-kings would have to be wary of her. How could someone possibly jump onto her lap so naturally?

And... she wondered if it was because the kitten in front of her was so cute that it melted her heart.

Even though her intuition was screaming warnings, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that the cat in front of her—its appearance, its scent, and even the way it acted affectionately that she knew so well—was exactly the same as her "cloud cat"...

'Could it be... that I'm overthinking it?'

Thinking this, Princess Huiming pondered for two seconds and couldn't help but recall what the female official had said earlier.
