Then let them offer their loyalty!

She continued, "After that, in order to lure me into a trap, Yan Chen dared not do anything else."

"Whether it was Tian Dafu being arrested or the Qin family being destroyed, he pretended that he was not knowing about these things for the first time and did not show any emotion."

"In addition, Bai Yu has been continuously providing Jia Wei with intelligence and assistance from the Investigation Bureau."

"I've ultimately decided to proceed with the original plan: to replace Yan Chen's daughter and infiltrate his inner circle. This will further expand my influence in the New Territories..."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu thoughtfully added, "Bai Yu must have played a role in pushing things along, right?"

"If I'm not mistaken, he probably told you that Yan Yan is about to arrive in the New Territories. If you miss it, you'll miss it forever."

Larilu nodded with a half-smile, but the smile was devoid of warmth, instead filled with coldness and mockery.

Her eyes gleamed with an eerie light, as if they could see into people's souls. "But... they overlooked the most important thing."

"That is... my believer's mark can control more than just life and death."

"Instead, it also allows me to share the believers' sight and hearing... In other words, I will know what the believers see and hear."

"After becoming Yan Yan, my life became very boring. All I did was admire flowers, pick flowers, and arrange flowers... So, whenever I had free time, I would share Bai Yu's vision and hearing to see what he was doing."

"Hehe..." La Riluo chuckled, then said, "And guess what? Bai Yu actually has a habit of keeping a diary."

Qiu Tu:? ?

Qiu Tu couldn't help but sigh, "Who keeps a diary these days?"

Upon hearing this, Larilu giggled. As she laughed, her little feet wiggled from time to time, making her even more alluring.

After laughing, Larilu sat up straight, her eyes deep and cold, like a bottomless abyss. She said coldly, "So... I knew he wasn't truly loyal to me."

"Following this clue, I worked back through the whole incident and easily discovered Yan Chen's scheme."

"But I also know that discovering Yan Chen's scheme is useless; the most important thing is to break the deadlock."

"So... I prayed to a great evil god for help."

Upon hearing Lariluo's words, Qiu Tu was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but say, "Zhao Ji?"

This name was one that Old Master Qin had once told Qiu Tu. He said at the time that Zhao Ji was an evil god even more powerful than La Ri Luo, residing in Dongcheng City and several surrounding cities. (Chapter 229)

Old Master Qin once summoned Larilu in Dongcheng City, but when Larilu discovered that she had entered Zhao Ji's territory, her expression immediately changed.

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, La Riluo couldn't help but glance at him again, clearly surprised by his intelligence capabilities once more.

But in the end, she nodded slightly. "Yes. It's her."

She added casually, "She is a fifth-tier evil god. She can be considered the most powerful being in this world..."

“With her here, Yan Chen can’t hurt me at all.”

Larilu revealed a smug and arrogant smile. She extended her slender index finger, looked at Qiu Tu with a wicked expression, and said triumphantly,

"She only needs one strike to pierce the barrier between the boundless sea of ​​the mind and the real world, and shatter Yan Chen's illusory image of law!"

------

It's still 2 chapters, 1 words each. Something came up today, so I'm a little late!

Continue with 10,000 words a day tomorrow!

Chapter 258 (10,000 words, please vote for me!)

Qiu Tu was genuinely surprised when he heard La Riluo's words.

How can one penetrate the barrier between two worlds and shatter the illusory law of Yama's anger from one world?

He couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "A fifth-tier evil god is this strong?"

Seeing Qiu Tu's naive and unsophisticated demeanor, La Riluo's lips curled up slightly, revealing a wicked smile.

Coupled with her exquisitely beautiful face and those eerily beautiful scarlet eyes, she was like a dark shadow, both evil and captivating.

She gently stroked the bridge of her high nose with her finger, then said smugly, "So, Yan Chen thought he had outsmarted me, but actually he fell into our trap."

Qiu Tu nodded upon hearing this, then fawned over him, saying, "Your Highness is indeed a master strategist."

"Looks like I worried for nothing."

After speaking, Qiu Tu tentatively asked, "Your Highness... is there anything you need me to do next?"

Qiu Tu thought for a moment and then added, "Yan Chen is trapped by you now and cannot be freed for the time being."

“I have the Investigation Bureau under my control. I can do many things for you.”

As he spoke, Qiu Tu kept his eyes fixed on La Riluo.

He clearly noticed a strange glint in Lari's eyes.

Clearly, Lariro was somewhat surprised by the efficiency with which she had taken control of the Investigation Bureau in just half a day.

After all, La Ri Luo's long-term scheme was aimed at controlling the Investigation Department and spreading her beliefs and methods in the New Territories.

As a result, what she had been planning for so many years but had not been able to accomplish was actually completed by Qiu Tu in just half a day. It was normal for her to be a little surprised and astonished.

However, that strange expression only flashed by for a moment before Lariro returned to normal.

She looked at Qiu Tu intently for a moment, then said, "Qiu Tu... do you truly want to believe in me?"

Qiu Tu replied with a sheepish grin, "Not really."

Lari Luo: ?

Qiu Tu said with a grin, "I'm just lusting after your body."

"I've had only one hobby since I was a child: lust. I really want to taste the flavor of an evil god."

Larilu: ....

Seeing Qiu Tu's seemingly genuine expression, La Riluo narrowed her eyes, looked at him dangerously, and then said in a sweet voice, "Qiu Tu~ you're not deliberately provoking me, are you?"

Upon seeing this, Qiu Tu quickly waved his hand.

Then, with a solemn expression, he swore, "Your Highness! I swear to heaven, if I really have no ill intentions towards you, may I be struck by lightning, hit by a car, or choke to death while drinking water!"

Hearing Qiu Tu swear so earnestly, La Riluo felt a little relieved... What a load of rubbish!

She's just not in front of Qiu Tu right now, otherwise she'd probably want to strangle him!

Swearing this?!

Are you sure you have ulterior motives towards me?

Isn't it even more despicable if this oath is actually fulfilled?!

Thinking this, Lariluo's chest heaved violently a few times.

But she still maintained the dignity of an evil goddess. Her eyelids were lowered, and her fingers lightly twirled the lace on her clothes, revealing a nonchalant elegance.

After a moment, she raised her head, gave Qiu Tu a wicked smile, and said, "I already know your wish."

"It's not impossible."

"But... I need you to do something for me."

Upon hearing La Riluo's words, Qiu Tu immediately patted his chest and assured her, "Your Highness! As long as you agree to let me become your intimate companion, let alone one thing, even ten things, I am willing to do for you!"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, La Riluo covered her mouth and giggled twice, "Okay, then do ten things for me."

Qiu Tu: ....

Perhaps sensing Qiu Tu's speechlessness, La Riluo laughed even more heartily.

She extended her slender fingers and said, "The first thing is... I want to recruit a few more followers within the Investigation Bureau."

"I need you to help me carefully select these believers, to see who is usable and who is not."

Qiu Tu agreed without hesitation, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely complete the mission!"

Seeing this, Larilu smiled even more happily and said, "The second thing is... I need to know the exact time when Moonlight Lake will take shape."

"This Moonlight Lake is destined to be mine. If I can obtain it, I will have a chance to advance to the fifth rank."

Upon hearing Lariluo's words, Qiu Tu asked in surprise, "Like Princess Zhaoji, a fifth-tier evil god who can break through the world barrier with a single strike?"

Larilu smiled slyly, "Yes."

Qiu Tu quickly assured him, "Your Highness, rest assured, I guarantee I will complete the mission!"

Seeing this, Larilu nodded again and said, "The third item..."

And just like that, Larilu actually recounted all ten things.

These tasks ranged from recruiting followers to gathering intelligence, dealing with the female slaves trained by Larilu, and even included massaging Larilu's feet...

Especially the last foot massage, Qiu Tu couldn't understand for a moment whether La Riluo was making him do something or rewarding him.

However, since La Riluo brought it up, Qiu Tu took out paper and pen and wrote it all down in detail.

Seeing Qiu Tu so serious, La Riluo's face showed a rare hint of satisfaction.

At the end of the call, she nodded to Qiu Tu and then habitually made promises, "Qiu Tu, don't worry, as long as you do your job well for me and help me develop my faith, I won't treat you unfairly."

"Didn't you want to become my pope and stay by my side all the time?"

"No problem~~ I agree."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tudao looked at La Riluo with delight and excitedly said, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

"I promise I will complete the mission!"

Upon hearing this, Larilu nodded with a dignified and aloof air, and then said, "In that case, you may leave."

"You can contact me again after you've finished what I asked you to do."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu nodded seriously and said, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will complete it as soon as possible."

Larilu nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.

The next second, her body exploded, turning into a cloud of white smoke.

After a moment, the white mist condensed, contracted, and finally transformed back into the ancient coin.

Then, with a "clang..." it fell onto the table, spun around a few times, and finally lay down slowly.

As the call ended, the coin fell to the floor, and the room became eerily quiet for a moment...

Qiu Tu did not make any move at this time.

He just stared at the old-fashioned coin quietly for a moment, then suddenly chuckled softly.

The next second, without even looking at the coin, he took out his communicator and dialed a few numbers.

The person on the other end of the phone was clearly waiting for Qiu Tu's call, so as soon as Qiu Tu dialed, the other party answered instantly.

At the same time, a familiar female voice came through the receiver, "How is it? What was the result?"

Upon hearing the woman's voice, Qiu Tu stepped out of the room and said with a light laugh, "We've almost reached the bottom."

"She has indeed fallen into Yan Chen's trap. Now, not only is her soul unable to leave that body, but she is also being restrained by the god-slaying artifact that Yan Chen had prepared long ago."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Qin Shuman chuckled, "It seems... our evil god has really fallen this time."

Qiu Tu hummed in agreement, and then couldn't help but recall the entire conversation he had just had with La Riluo.

La Riluo is indeed quite capable: even though she was tricked by Yan Chen and is now imprisoned, she is not panicked, but tries every means to escape.

And she had already told Qiu Tu how she escaped:

With the help of another great evil god, Zhao Ji, they forcibly shattered Yan Chen's illusory law, causing Yan Chen to fail in her advancement and suffer a backlash. This exposed an opening, allowing her to escape.

As for what she and Qiu Tu said, most of the scheming between Yan Chen and her was true. Or rather, nine parts true and one part false.

The only false part should be that Larilu discovered Yan Chen's trap and made arrangements in advance...

As for the others, Qiu Tu speculated that they were most likely deduced by La Riluo after she fell into the trap, based on events over the past few years.

Why is Qiu Tu so certain that La Riluo has truly fallen for the trap, rather than, as she claims, turning the tables and setting a trap for Yan Chen?

It's actually very simple...

Lari thought she was behaving perfectly normally, but actually... she overdid it.

Let's recall the entire process of Lariluo's previous interactions with Qiu Tu—this evil goddess girl was arrogant, charming, and cunning.

Qiu Tu's three encounters and three tests with her, though each side had its victories and defeats, one thing remained constant in La Riluo's mind: she kept her mouth shut! (Chapters 155, 184, 204)
