Then let them offer their loyalty!

Upon hearing this, Larilu's gaze became noticeably colder.

She lowered her eyes slightly, "So what are your thoughts?"

Qiu Tu said confidently, "Let's cooperate. Let's cooperate."

Seeing that Larilu remained unmoved, Qiu Tu took a step back. "I know you want to take me as a believer."

“But… Your Highness, to be honest, I am not familiar with you, and I know even less about your great power.”

“Under these circumstances, how could I possibly become your devout follower?”

"Therefore, let's cooperate first and establish contact between our two sides."

"After that, through gradually learning more about you, I will decide whether or not to believe in you."

"Don't you think that would make my faith in you even more devout?"

Seeing that Larilu remained unmoved, Qiu Tu smiled and asked in return, "You... don't you even have confidence in yourself?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, La Ri Luo finally reacted this time.

She giggled and then said, "I don't have confidence?"

"Don't joke around."

"I have unparalleled confidence in my strength and the means I use!"

"Reproduction is the true path of this world!"

After saying that, she looked at Qiu Tu with her golden eyes and said with a half-smile, "Tell me, how do you want to cooperate?"

Seeing that Larilu had actually agreed to his cooperation request, Qiu Tu breathed a slight sigh of relief.

As expected, it still came to this in the end...

In fact, Qiu Tu had a premonition as early as when he saw the crisis warning of "[The Evil God's Appreciation]":

His status was far too unequal with Lari's; it would be difficult for him to reject her directly without causing any trouble.

However... according to the warning from [Crisis Sense], if he really joins Lariel's side, he will become a traitor and will be caught by the shelter sooner or later.

So, for the past two days, Qiu Tu has been thinking about how to deal with this matter.

Although he still doesn't have a foolproof plan to solve this predicament,... today's conversation with Inspector Tang about Jia Shu's crimes gave him an idea.

Jia Shu neither allied himself with the evil god nor betrayed the sanctuary; he only briefly cooperated with the evil god for his own benefit.

Perhaps it was because of the chaotic times, or perhaps it was because of a powerful background, but although such behavior crossed the line, it did not actually go too far.

So, having no better option, Qiu Tu simply decided to copy Jia Shu's route.

He also cooperated briefly with the evil god, but did not pledge allegiance to him.

Wouldn't that resolve the crisis, at least for a short period of time?

After all, Jia Shu has connections, and he also has... Tang Feifei.

When the day actually comes, Tang Feifei will probably try to save herself for the sake of her own sexual happiness, right?

Moreover, Qiu Tu has a resource that Jia Shu doesn't: the security department.

Don't forget, Qiu Tu holds a position in the Security Department. The Security Department is a special agency that handles matters related to evil gods and catastrophes.

If Qiu Tu had prepared an undercover report in advance and given it to Qin Shuman, he could have presented it when he was about to be purged after something went wrong.

This should minimize the impact of the situation. It's far from warranting dismissal...

Having recalled his inner plans, Qiu Tu faced La Riluo's questions with even greater confidence and composure.

He smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness, all cooperation is achieved step by step."

"Since our first collaboration started with eliminating Jia Shu, why don't we continue this collaboration by eliminating Jia Shu as well?"

Upon hearing this, La Riluo's golden pupils brightened, and her voice carried a hint of amusement, "Oh? So how do you plan to get rid of Jia Shu?"

Qiu Tu found that La Riluo was really difficult to deal with. Every sentence she said sounded perfectly normal.

But upon closer examination, it becomes clear that she was actually constantly vying for control of the conversation.

However, Qiu Tu certainly couldn't hand over this power to La Riluo right now, so he smiled mysteriously and said, "I have a brilliant plan."

"However, I need Your Highness to provide me with a few things."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, La Riluo asked, "What kind of help?"

Qiu Tu smiled....

Over the next half hour, Qiu Tu explained in detail what he needed to La Riluo.

After listening, La Riluo almost guessed Qiu Tu's plan without even needing Qiu Tu's explanation.

She looked at Qiu Tu suspiciously with her golden eyes, then said, "Are you sure... this will work?"

Qiu Tu shrugged. "How will you know it won't work if you don't try?"

"Moreover... besides this plan, I actually have another backup plan."

"However, that might make me a bit passive."

Larilu paused for two seconds after hearing this, then smiled and said, "Okay. I agree to your request."

"Tomorrow, I will give you what you want."

Qiu Tu bowed slightly to La Riluo, "Thank you, Your Highness."

After exchanging greetings, Qiu Tu prepared to say goodbye to La Riluo, ending their date for the evening.

Just then, La Riluo called out to Qiu Tu again, "Qiu Tu."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu looked up at her with a hint of confusion.

Larilu's golden eyes met Qiu Tu's gaze calmly. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she smiled and said, "Actually, cooperation doesn't mean you can only do one thing at a time, does it?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu's heart skipped a beat, and he guessed what La Riluo was thinking.

Sure enough, Larilu rose from her throne and walked step by step toward Qiu Tu with a smile. "Moreover, even if my cooperation with Jia Shu doesn't bring Jia Shu to justice."

"Then why should I believe that our cooperation will have any restraining effect on you?"

At this point, she walked to Qiu Tu's side and said softly, "So, you also need to show some sincerity so that I can believe you genuinely want to cooperate with me, and not just want to use me or stall for time..."

"You're right... aren't you? My future archbishop."

Qiu Tu: .....

Archbishop, I'm still the big pig's feet.

Qiu Tu realized that this evil god was truly good at making empty promises, one after another, leaving people overwhelmed.

The only pity is that Qiu Tu ate too many empty promises in his previous life, and he really can't eat them all in this one. So he's not fooled at all.

However, the situation was beyond his control. Although he didn't want to eat it himself, he had to pretend to want to, so he said sincerely, "Your Highness is right. Then, what does Your Highness want me to do to prove your sincerity?"

Lariel had clearly already thought about her demands, so she said calmly, "A Moonlight Lake will soon be born between New Territories City and East City."

"I've calculated it, and I have a connection with that Moonlight Lake. It's a key resource for my continued promotion."

"However, the area around Moonlight Lake has already been fortified by two cities and three major organizations."

"I need you to help me find out exactly when that Moonlight Lake will completely solidify."

"I will go and retrieve my things myself at that time."

Qiu Tu was somewhat shocked upon hearing La Riluo's words.

He had considered that Laura's arduous efforts to cause trouble in the New Territories might be for some other purpose.

But... he never imagined that Lariluo's eyes were actually on that Moonlight Lake!

That Moonlight Lake is said to be able to extract 1.3 tons of Moonlight Tears, enough to make tens of thousands of bottles of Cataclysmic Awakening Potions. It is an important strategic resource.

'This evil god's appetite is far too great...'

He thought this to himself, but Qiu Tu certainly couldn't say it out loud.

So he pondered for a moment, then smiled and bowed slightly, "As you wish..."

Regardless, let's try to fool this evil god first.

Moreover, Qiu Tu is never afraid of someone with a big appetite. On the contrary, he likes people with big appetites the most.

Because this means the other party has desires, and desires can be exploited...

Perhaps, at that time, I can also use this desire to manipulate the evil god.

Seeing Qiu Tu agree so readily, La Riluo said with a smile, "My archbishop is indeed quick to agree."

"Then I'll wait for your good news."

"I know you won't let me down."

Lariro paused, a wicked smile creeping across her face. "After all, you wouldn't want to know the price of disappointing me..."

After saying that, Larilu waved her hand, and Qiu Tu immediately felt everything go black before his eyes and lost consciousness....

I don't know how much time passed. It might have been a minute, or it might have been more than an hour.

"call!"

Qiu Tu was suddenly awakened from his sleep!

His eyes widened, and he suddenly sat up in bed.

Upon seeing this, Cao Dabiao and Chen Feng, who had been guarding him, quickly came forward.

Chen Feng was rather taciturn, so it was Cao Dabiao who asked with concern, "Brother Tu, are you alright?"

Seeing the concerned expressions on their faces, Qiu Tu took a deep breath, then shook his head and reassured them, "It's okay. I'm fine."

After saying that, he asked, "How long have I been asleep?"

Chen Feng must have been keeping an eye on the time.

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, he replied, "1 hour and 13 minutes."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu asked, "Such a short time?"

To be honest, Qiu Tu felt like he had been chatting with La Riluo for over an hour.

'It seems... one's perception of time becomes less acute in dreams?'

While Qiu Tu was pondering the details of his dream, Cao Dabiao and Chen Feng exchanged a glance and then asked, "Brother Tu, have you already met that evil god?"

Qiu Tu snapped out of his daze and nodded.

Perhaps a weight has been lifted from his mind. He leaned against the headboard and said with a slightly relieved expression, "Yes. I've already seen him."

Hearing this, Cao Dabiao blinked and said with a grin, "You seem to be in a pretty good mood? So, your conversation with her went smoothly?"

What can Qiu Tu say?

He could only say, "It's alright."

Although he was not very interested, Cao Dabiao was in high spirits.

He was clearly very interested in the legendary evil god, so he asked curiously, "Sir, what does the evil god look like? Is it very beautiful?"

Qiu Tu recalled for a moment, then commented, "Well, how should I put it..."

"In her dreams, she seems to be able to change her appearance at will. She can grow bigger or smaller, she can become a young girl or a mature woman."

"The only thing that hasn't changed is her temperament."

"Charm?" Cao Dabiao asked curiously, "What kind of charm?"

Qiu Tu scoffed, "What other kind of temperament could it be?"

"It means being intellectual yet dignified, elegant yet beautiful, just like Ouyang without a radical."
