He could sense that Princess Huiming at this moment was completely different from the majestic and domineering prince she usually was.
"Your Highness." He bowed respectfully, then presented the intelligence report in his hand. "The Shadow Department has just received intelligence that Her Majesty Lu Yao, a high-ranking god-king of the 'Life Faction,' is on her way to the 'Royal Court' and requests a visit."
At this point, Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then added, "She has already arrived in the west and should be at the royal court early tomorrow morning."
Qiu Tu's report was very tactful; he didn't say that God-King Lu Yao intended to force a visit, but he still made his meaning very clear.
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Princess Hui slowly turned around.
When she faced Qiu Tu, that brief moment of vulnerability and loneliness had vanished without a trace.
Her face remained as stunningly beautiful as a creation of the gods, with delicate and cold features, and her indifferent phoenix eyes had regained their depth and sharpness.
She took the intelligence file from Qiu Tu, casually unfolded it with her slender fingers, and glanced at it.
Then, a cold smile bloomed on her lips.
"It seems the 'Life Faction' is truly getting restless."
Her voice regained its usual majesty and domineering tone, tinged with undisguised coldness, "If I remember correctly, Yao Guang just visited the 'Temple of Order' not long ago."
"As a result, upon hearing that yet another God of Destruction has embarked on the path to supreme power, she has rushed to our 'Royal Court' without stopping."
After offering a few comments, Princess Hui casually tossed the intelligence file back to Qiu Tu.
"Since she wants to come, then let her come."
"Pass down the order to receive them according to protocol. There's no need to be overly enthusiastic, but don't be impolite either."
"I want to see what exactly the 'Life Camp' is so anxious about."
Hearing Princess Huiming's words, Qiu Tu's expression remained unchanged as he took the intelligence file, but a slight thought stirred within him.
A visit to the Temple of Order?
Qiu Tu's brain twitched slightly.
He suddenly remembered that not long ago, Larilu had told him that when she was waiting for him in the "Dionysian Kingdom," she had encountered a "big sister" from the "Life Path."
The other party not only guided her in cultivation, but also taught her some powerful divine skills.
This caused Lariel's strength to increase by leaps and bounds.
At the time, Qiu Tu felt that something was amiss and even suspected that it was related to Jasmine.
But when he tried to investigate, the other party had already left, making it impossible to find out anything.
Now that the God-King Lu Yao is coming to the "Destruction Court" for a visit, perhaps I can take this opportunity to make contact and see who this mysterious "big sister" God-King really is, and what she plans to do.
After all, Qiu Tu hadn't forgotten that although the "Life Faction" was allied with the "Temple of Order" on the surface, it actually had a close relationship with Jasmine in private.
Even back then... the reason why Zhao Ji was reincarnated and started cultivating again was due to the influence of the "God King of Life".
Qiu Tu wouldn't believe there wasn't something fishy going on.
However, thinking about this, Qiu Tu found it rather interesting.
"The Immortal Heavenly Tomb" is single-mindedly focused on attaining the highest level, even at the cost of becoming an enemy of the world;
The "mysterious faction" appears to be allied with others, but in reality, they are doing all sorts of bad things and want to cause chaos in the world.
The path to survival now appears to be a three-way bet, with all parties secretly making contact and forming alliances.
These three paths are: one is pure black, one is half black and half white, and the other is pure white. But none of them are actually smart moves.
Leaving aside the "Immortal Heavenly Tomb" and the "Mysterious Faction," even the path of life that tries to please everyone rarely ends well.
After all... if loyalty isn't absolute, then it's absolutely disloyal.
Don't they know that in this kind of factional conflict that sweeps the entire world, those who try to please everyone are often the first to be eliminated?
Of course, these are all Qiu Tu's own analyses; the Life Faction may have its own deeper motives.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but pull himself together and prepare to bow and leave.
But at that moment, Princess Huiming spoke first.
Her deep phoenix eyes gazed silently at Qiu Tu, a hint of scrutiny in them, before she slowly spoke, "Yunmao... I heard you've been looking at my files and records these past few days?"

Chapter 952 Clinging to Hui's Leg (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Upon hearing Princess Huiming's words, Qiu Tu's heart skipped a beat, and he paused slightly in his steps.
To be honest, even with all the thorough preparations, Qiu Tu knew he would encounter some dangers when he decided to infiltrate Princess Huiming's side again.
However... he always thought that he hadn't been careful enough somewhere, and had once again revealed a flaw, which aroused Princess Huiming's suspicion.
To his utter surprise, this first crisis was brought about by the Cloud Cat God King!
This made Qiu Tu feel like he had a million complaints.
Has this Cloud Cat God King been in the Shadow Department for so many years, and all he has in his head is catnip?
She knew perfectly well that the "Shadow Department" was a department directly under Princess Shinmei's control, and that Princess Shinmei had a huge influence in it, yet she was still so careless in her actions, managing to let Princess Shinmei find out about her private investigation.
Now look what's happened. She's been imprisoned in the God of Punishment's Domain by herself, which is peaceful, but she's left with a complete mess.
With this in mind, Qiu Tu's mind raced as he considered countermeasures.
After a moment, Qiu Tu made up his mind.
He slowly raised his hand and, under the scrutinizing gaze of Princess Huiming, removed the silver mask from his face.
As the mask disappeared, Qiu Tu's appearance and physique underwent drastic changes. His once tall and imposing figure rapidly shrank, his masculine face became soft and alluring, his clear eyes transformed into vertical pupils, and a pair of fluffy white cat ears sprouted from the top of his head.
In the blink of an eye, the mysterious "Silver-masked God King" transformed into a petite, pitiful-looking cat-eared girl. This was the true form of the Cloud Cat God King.
Princess Huiming watched the changes in the "Cloud Cat God King," her deep eyes remaining unchanged. She didn't speak, but simply watched quietly, waiting for the "Cloud Cat God King's" next move.
Seeing this, Qiu Tu didn't pay any attention. He walked barefoot step by step to the Princess Huiming behind the black jade table, and then... reached out and hugged the Princess Huiming's... thigh.
Through a thin layer of black python robe, Qiu Tu could clearly feel the amazing elasticity and warm touch of Princess Huiming's legs.
The robe was made of extremely fine fabric, silky smooth and cool, like flowing water under moonlight. It perfectly accentuated the curves of Princess Huiming's legs.
Qiu Tu pressed his face against those firm, long, and powerfully beautiful thighs. He could even smell the unique scent emanating from the robe, a blend of faint sandalwood and the woman's natural fragrance.
Mmm, it smells wonderful, fragrant and sweet, without any seafood smell.
Of course... Qiu Tu did this not because he was deliberately trying to take advantage of others.
The main problem was that the Cloud Cat God King was too short; even on tiptoe, he could barely reach Princess Huiming's chest. Hugging her thigh was the most natural thing for her to do.
Moreover... due to the soul contract of "hiring a cat slave," the Cloud Cat God King and Princess Huiming were already extremely close. This seemingly presumptuous action was actually perfectly normal between them.
As expected... seeing Qiu Tu hug her legs, Princess Huiming did not push Qiu Tu away, and her expression did not change.
Of course, she did not forgive "Cloud Cat God King" because of Qiu Tu's one action.
She simply looked down at Qiu Tu, as if waiting for a reasonable explanation.
At that very moment, Qiu Tu raised his head. His adorable face, befitting the Cloud Cat God King, was filled with grievance. Even his beautiful vertical pupils were veiled with moisture, making him look as if he were about to cry.
"Your Highness..." He mimicked the tone of the Cloud Cat God King, his voice trembling slightly, soft and sweet as if he were pleading, "I'm just... a little worried."
He tightened his grip on Princess Huiming's thigh, rubbing his cheek against her snow-white thigh like a cat seeking comfort from its master.
“You were so obedient to His Majesty before, listening to everything he said. But suddenly you concealed something so important from me. I have no idea what happened and I have no idea what’s going on.”
"My instinct was that something might have happened that I didn't know about. I was worried that I had misunderstood you and done something wrong; I also wanted to find out the whole story so I could help you, so... that's why I secretly investigated your background..."
His voice grew softer and softer, and his head sank deeper and deeper, like a child who had done something wrong.
Actually... Qiu Tu's explanation wasn't perfect, but it seems that Princess Huiming just needed an explanation from "Cloud Cat God King," a way to save face.
Therefore, upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Princess Huiming remained silent for a moment, and then a barely audible sigh rang out above Qiu Tu's head.
The next second, a cool yet soft hand gently landed on Qiu Tu's head, tenderly stroking "his" fluffy cat ears.
Today, Princess Huiming seemed rather fragile, lacking her usual aloof and domineering presence. A hint of weariness, something Qiu Tu had never seen before, lingered in her eyes, which always seemed to look down upon all living beings.
She reached out and hugged Qiu Tu, then whispered, "You were so careless."
“The Royal Court is Father’s world. As the ruler of the Royal Court, he can know anything that happens here if he wants to. It’s impossible to hide anything from him.”
"So, you think you're secretly investigating what happened to me back then, and there seems to be nothing wrong with it."
"But if Father Emperor takes it seriously, he will realize that your motives are not right and will then suspect me."
At this point, Princess Huiming paused, then released her grip on Qiu Tu's arm and said calmly,
"Fortunately, I anticipated that you might investigate, so I covered for you. Otherwise, Father would probably have found out long ago..."
Upon hearing Princess Huiming's words, Qiu Tu's arm around her thigh tightened slightly.
This time, he wasn't pretending; he was genuinely a little surprised.
He had only one thought in his mind: Good heavens! The Cloud Cat God King is really reckless!
She investigated Princess Huiming in the royal court, yet she didn't even set up any defensive or early warning arrays?
She's worked in the film industry for so many years, yet she really hasn't learned a single professional skill.
This also made Qiu Tu feel a sense of lingering fear.
You must understand, he is now the Cloud Cat God King! If the Destruction Tyrant seizes the loose ends left by the Cloud Cat God King, he himself will be the one to suffer!
It seems that from now on, when going out on business, I not only have to be wary of incompetent teammates, but I also can't afford to have incompetent enemies!
While mentally ranting, Qiu Tu raised his head at just the right moment, looking at Princess Huiming with his large, watery eyes, filled with lingering fear and concern.
"Your Highness... will His Majesty find out about our conversation?"
Hearing Qiu Tu's trembling question, Princess Huiming gently shook her head.
Her hand, which had been stroking Qiu Tu's cat ears, stopped and instead gently patted his back, as if comforting a frightened pet.
"Rest assured, this is my palace, my domain, my world. Father cannot hear our conversations here."
Her voice regained some of its coolness and composure.
However, Qiu Tu astutely noticed two key words: domain? world?
Princess Huiming wasn't referring to setting up a magic array, but rather using a domain and a world. Could it be... that this is different from a magic array?
At this moment, perhaps sensing Qiu Tu's doubts, Huiming Princess pulled Qiu Tu and made him sit on a slightly smaller black jade chair next to her.
Then Princess Huiming did not answer his question directly, but asked another question instead.
"Haven't you always been curious about the biggest difference between a high-level God-King and an ordinary God-King?"
Qiu Tu nodded obediently.
He was genuinely curious about this question.
He knew that high-level god-kings were very strong, but he never had a clear concept of exactly where their strength lay or what the differences were between them and ordinary god-kings.
Moreover... it's not just him; it seems even the Cloud Cat God King doesn't know much about this.
At this moment, Princess Huiming picked up a cup of tea that had been kept at a constant temperature from the table, took a small sip, and while gathering her thoughts, slowly spoke.
"The biggest difference between a high-level God-King and an ordinary God-King is that the latter is a world of its own."
She put her arm around Qiu Tu and said, "If an ordinary God-King can only compete with the origin of the world for authority, or replace the origin of the world as the ruler of a world."
"Then, the advanced god-kings have already transcended the world in which they attained enlightenment."
She put down her teacup, her deep eyes fixed on Qiu Tu, and slowly said, "A high-level God-King can not only absorb the world into his body and take it with him, but also exert the power of a world master anytime, anywhere. More importantly..."
She paused, her voice becoming even deeper.
"The body of a high-level god-king is actually a world within itself. In that world, the high-level god-king can freely evolve all things, create or destroy them."
"That world has mountains, rivers, the sun and moon, and living beings; it's not much different from the real world..."
"There are even ancient legends that the entire multidimensional world originally consisted of only one world, the Ancient Continent."
"And the countless worlds we know now are actually the transformations of the bodies of countless high-level god-kings who fell in history."
Upon hearing Princess Huiming's words, Qiu Tu deliberately failed to suppress his shock.
