Then let them offer their loyalty!

Hearing Qiu Tu's shameless words, La Riluo's CPU almost burned out.

Zhao Ji likes... going to Qiu Tu?

Could my sister, who is so uninteresting, emotionless, and barely expressive, possibly like someone?

And he still likes Qiu Tu, that shrew?

Is the world too crazy, or am I still dreaming?

Thinking this, Larilu smiled.

She felt that Qiu Tu was more likely to be deceiving her than either of the two possibilities.

After all, for Qiu Tu, that cunning old fox, lying is as easy as drinking water.

Thinking this, Larilu chuckled.

Then, with a smile in her bloodshot eyes, she looked at Qiu Tu, clapped her hands lightly as if teasing a child, and said, "So that's how it is?"

"Oh my god! Brother-in-law, you absolutely have to treat my sister well!"

To be honest, Larilu understands Yin and Yang.

His words were full of sarcasm.

Qiu Tu didn't actually care about La Riluo's yin and yang; after all, he was thick-skinned and didn't care.

However... this did disrupt Qiu Tu's plans somewhat.

Qiu Tu's original plan was that no matter whether La Riluo refuted or questioned him, he could take the opportunity to produce evidence to explain.

But now she just went along with Qiu Tu's words. Although it was a bit sarcastic, if Qiu Tu tried to explain it, it would seem particularly deliberate.

So Qiu Tu's mind raced, and he immediately changed his approach to fooling people.

He looked at Lariro with sympathy, and then said very sincerely, "Your Highness, please don't say that."

"I know you're jealous."

“But you must believe me. Although Princess Zhao is indeed pursuing me, my heart for you is as clear as day. I will not choose her; I only want you.”

Hearing Qiu Tu's seemingly fantastical words, La Riluo laughed heartily, as if she were listening to a stand-up comedy routine.

The evil god is naturally unrestrained and has no particular image. So when she bursts into laughter, her little Jojo kicks its legs.

Those delicate, exquisitely carved little feet momentarily captivated even Qiu Tu, who had no interest in jade feet.

After laughing, La Riluo looked at Qiu Tu with her scarlet eyes and said teasingly, "Brother-in-law, you've actually started making choices."

"My sister is a dignified fifth-order Great Evil God. It's a blessing you've accumulated over countless lifetimes that she's taken a liking to you. Don't be ungrateful."

At this point, to appear genuine, she added with a serious expression, "And let me tell you, I won't compete with my sister."

"Since your sister has taken a liking to you, you should just stick with her."

Even so, Larilu's eyes were practically overflowing with laughter. Clearly, she didn't believe her at all.

Hearing La Riluo's words, Qiu Tu said with some difficulty, "But... you ate my banana that morning."

"I'm a very loyal person. Once you've eaten my banana, you're mine."

"Wait! Wait a minute!" Qiu Tu's two sentences were so packed with information that La Riluo couldn't keep her expression up.

She was first shocked that Qiu Tu knew that she had controlled Fang Tangtang to eat Qiu Tu's banana that morning.

Next came the astonishment at Qiu Tu's shamelessness!

Being faithful means being devoted to one woman until death! How did it become that any woman he's ever touched is his? What kind of faithfulness is that?!

Thinking this, Lariluo felt both ashamed and annoyed.

She looked at Qiu Tu, wanting to deny it outright and refuse to admit it to the death.

At this moment, Qiu Tu, the master of language, seized the opportunity to launch another attack, taking advantage of the vulnerability in her mind.

Qiu Tu said, "Besides... I really don't like Princess Zhao Ji very much."

"Because she seems a little shy and introverted."

“I used the ritual you taught me to get to her... divine realm, and talked to her for half an hour, but I didn’t even get to see her face.”

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, La Riluo chuckled inwardly: That's not shyness, that's a sign that she doesn't want to see you!

My own older sister hates meeting lower beings the most.

However, upon thinking of this, Larilu was suddenly startled.

Wait a minute... I've never told Qiu Tu about my sister's habit, so how did Qiu Tu know? And why did he explain it so clearly?

And... the Divine Realm?

I never told him about this special name! How did he know it?

Could it be... that he really saw his sister? Was everything he said true?

At this moment, Qiu Tu ignored La Riluo's surprise and continued, "Another thing I can't accept is that Princess Zhao Ji seems... not to like you, Your Highness?"

Although Qiu Tu's statement was a question, he spoke with absolute certainty.

He continued, "I have told her several times about your deep sisterly bond with her, but she has always just laughed or mocked me."

"You still think I'm simple-minded and believe whatever you say."

Upon hearing this, Larilu stopped laughing.

Because Qiu Tu described it in such detail. She could even picture her sister's disdainful look, as if she were looking at someone mentally challenged.

Qiu Tu seemed completely oblivious to La Riluo's emotions.

He seemed to be recalling and pondering, then carefully said, "Also... Your Highness. I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I always have a feeling that Princess Zhaoji doesn't want to save you, and might even want to harm you?"

Larilu forced a weak "heh," then said, "How could that be? She's my own sister!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu showed a slightly convinced expression. "Oh? Is that so?"

"Perhaps I misunderstood..."

He said it as if he were just venting, "I begged her to save you. But she said that if you can't even overcome this crisis, then you don't deserve to be a god."

Even if I become a god again, I will still only be prey for other gods.

Larilu's gaze was deep.

'It was her...it was her tone.'

Qiu Tu said, "She also told me that you are now just a wisp of soul and consciousness, and have little value left. Your abilities, strength, and status have all vanished. You're just like a piece of trash."

Lariro's scarlet eyes narrowed slightly.

'It's her....'

Qiu Tu continued, "Finally, I don't know if I misunderstood, but she also took the initiative to tell me, Your Highness, how to restore your strength... or rather, how all living beings can increase their strength."

She said that every area of ​​the boundless sea of ​​the mind contains a central hub. And that central hub may take various forms, such as terrain, inanimate objects, plants, animals, or even people.

"Once you regain control of that central hub, you can restore your strength, and ordinary beings can also improve their rank and power..."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, La Riluo's pupils contracted sharply. She then looked up at Qiu Tu, her scarlet eyes narrowed, and she said viciously, as if her voice was being squeezed out from between her teeth, "Did she really tell you all this?"

Qiu Tu was not lying about anything he said above. He simply cleverly rearranged the order.

So, with his innocent eyes wide open and without any psychological burden, he nodded and raised his hand to swear, "I guarantee that all this information was given to me by Princess Zhaoji."

"If she hadn't told me, I would have been struck by lightning, eaten too much at a fancy meal, been hit by a car while driving a luxury car, slept with 10 women a day, and died from exhaustion!"

What was supposed to be a serious matter was ruined by Qiu Tu's antics. La Rilu rolled her eyes at Qiu Tu, "You certainly don't lose out at all. You even get to enjoy yourself before you die."

After saying that, she gave Qiu Tu a wicked look and reminded him, "You should understand. In an era where the spiritual world is materialized, oaths are valid."

Qiu Tu had a clear conscience. He patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, I'm telling the truth, so I'm not afraid to swear."

Seeing Qiu Tu say this, La Riluo seemed to believe him to some extent, and her brows furrowed deeply.

To be honest, what Qiu Tu said did match La Riluo's impression of Zhao Ji. However... none of that information was conclusive. After all, if one had to explain it, it could be—the shelter might have information about the Boundless Heart Sea Central Hub and Zhao Ji's personality.

Qiu Tu likely combined these two parts, then fabricated a conversation, and used this information to gain the user's trust and deceive them...

Just then, as Larilu was filled with doubt, Qiu Tu suddenly spoke again.

"Oh...right, Your Highness."

"After telling me about the central government, Princess Zhao told me another story."

"A story?" Larilu frowned and looked up.

Qiu Tu hummed in agreement and said, "Yes. Princess Zhao Ji told me a story about how she took you to hunt a wooden dragon before you took control of the New Territories."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, La Riluo's scarlet pupils suddenly contracted!

Seeing Larilu's reaction, a smile immediately appeared in Qiu Tu's eyes...

It's done...

As expected, his earlier suspicions were correct. His image in Lari's eyes was far too poor; if he didn't gradually drop bombshells, even if what he said was true, Lari wouldn't believe him.

Only by gradually guiding Lariel's emotions and dropping bombshells bit by bit can you make her completely believe the "facts" you've fabricated.

Sure enough, after the bombshell "Wooden Dragon" was dropped, Larilu felt as if she had been relieved: her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.

Only she and Zhao Ji knew about the wooden dragon. She had never told Qiu Tu, so the only way Qiu Tu could have known about it was through Zhao Ji...

'How could she do this to me!'

'She was the one who wronged me back then! And now she's trying to harm me!'

Thinking of this, Larilu bit her lip lightly, her scarlet eyes filled with humiliation and anger!

However, after she finished getting angry, Lariro had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

She knew her sister better than anyone else.

He's a real taciturn guy. You'd never hear a word he utters!

Qiu Tu and she had only met for the first time, so why would her sister talk to Qiu Tu about so many things? And such private topics at that?

Lari felt something was off.

After a moment, as if she had suddenly thought of something, she suddenly asked, "Qiu Tu, how did you introduce yourself when you met my sister?"

Qiu Tu said innocently, "How else can I introduce it? Of course, I'll tell the truth."

Larilu frowned slightly and lowered her head, still feeling that something was wrong.

Just then, Qiu Tu added, "After all, I'm your man."

Larilu suddenly looked up!

She said, looking both embarrassed and annoyed, "When did you become my man?!"

Qiu Tu looked down at his iron rod.

Larilu: ......

Larilu remained silent.

She took a deep breath and silently told herself not to stoop to Qiu Tu's level. Then... she felt that everything was connected.

If Qiu Tu claims to be his follower, then his sister would 100% not be interested in him.

But... if Qiu Tu shamelessly claims to be her man, then her sister might actually develop some different ideas because of the conflicts they've had over the years...

With this in mind, Larilu felt that everything was starting to go smoothly.

In that instant, she felt a fire burning fiercely in her chest!

Her eyes were practically spitting fire!

Her conflict with her older sister runs deep, so deep that they haven't had much contact over the years. The few times they've interacted have all ended in fights, well... Larilu was the one who got beaten up.

But to be honest, Larilu still harbors feelings for her older sister.

She felt that if her sister were living a miserable life, she would be happy and applaud. But if her sister's life were in danger, she would still be the first to rush to her rescue!

After all, they are the closest people in the world! The blood ties between them are unbreakable...

She assumed that Lady Zhaoji shared the same thoughts as her.

This is why, after being trapped by Yan Chen, the first person she thought of to ask for help was Zhao Ji.
