Then let them offer their loyalty!

Upon hearing La Riluo's words, Qiu Tu stopped joking.

He chuckled and placed the "Boundless Divine Crystal" in his hand toward Larilu, saying, "Just kidding. No matter how urgent my brother's situation is, he doesn't need help from a spirit like you who doesn't even have a physical body."

"This is really for you. It's free of charge."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, La Riluo looked at him in disbelief.

But seeing Qiu Tu's sincere expression... and knowing that she had indeed exhausted herself today and was about to burn out if she didn't replenish her energy soon.

So, after hesitating for a moment, Larilu closed her eyes and then forcefully inhaled the "Boundless Divine Crystal" that was the size of a fingernail!

The next second, the "Boundless Divine Crystal" suddenly exploded! Specks of starlight filled the area around Qiu Tu and La Ri Luo!

Then, like a miniature galaxy, it rushed towards Lariro's nose!

Those specks of starlight, like the purest power in the world, entered Lariluo's body and rapidly strengthened her spirit!

In just a moment, Lariro visibly solidified!

Qiu Tu rested his chin on his hand and watched quietly.

Larilu was still wearing that same long black dress today. The dress clung to her shapely figure, and the hem swayed gently with the flow of the Milky Way, like a black butterfly dancing in the dark night.

This evil goddess girl, like her sister, is a darling of the world. Not only is she extremely beautiful, but she is also flawlessly beautiful.

You can say she doesn't fit your ideal type, but you wouldn't say she's not pretty.

A few minutes later, Larilu finished absorbing the tiny, fingernail-sized "Boundless Divine Crystal," and her aura steadily increased.

Qiu Tu quietly sensed her and roughly judged that her current life force was slightly stronger than that of an ordinary human, but not to the level of a cataclysmic being.

After confirming that things had not exceeded his expectations, Qiu Tu felt somewhat relieved.

Qiu Tu deliberately let La Riluo play outside all day because he intended to truly change his relationship with her...

Don't forget, when Qin Shuman first proposed the "Boundless Heart Sea Expansion Plan," her suggestion was: use evil gods to fight evil gods. (Chapter 281)

When Qiu Tu was carrying out his plan, he also intended to lure the two evil goddess sisters to his side, using "evil gods" to control "evil gods." (Chapter 301)

Previously, Qiu Tu had no choice: if he let La Ri Luo escape, it would be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains, allowing La Ri Luo to return to the New Territories and regain her power.

Therefore, he could only imprison Larilu and then slowly search for information and clues.

But now... everything is different.

Lariluo's escape route was cut off by Qiu Tu, and Qiu Tu also seized all her chances to recover her strength.

Therefore, Qiu Tu can now grant her a certain degree of freedom, negotiate terms with her, formally conquer her, and then use an evil god to fight another evil god! This will allow him to gain even greater benefits!

Thinking this, Qiu Tu quietly waited for La Riluo to absorb the fingernail-sized boundless divine crystal completely.

Then, after Lariluo opened her eyes, Qiu Tu smiled and said, "Your Highness, are you feeling comfortable?"

Having regained some of her strength, Lariel was in a much better mood. She stretched and said, "That felt good~~"

"This is much more enjoyable than watching a hundred poker games."

Hearing Larilu's words, Qiu Tu smiled and said, "Then wouldn't you like to be more comfortable?"

Lariluo was still on her guard. So when she heard Qiu Tu's words, she immediately looked up and said, "What are you planning to do now?"

Qiu Tu, like a creepy uncle trying to abduct a young girl, put his arm around La Riluo, leaned closer, and whispered, "Have you lost the regional central authority now, so you can no longer become the regional lord, nor can you regain your power?"

Lari rolled her eyes at him. "Yeah."

Qiu Tu, "Then do you want to regain control of the regional central hub and become the master of the region?"

Upon hearing this, La Riluo's eyes lit up, and she looked at Qiu Tu, "Are you willing to return the regional central hub to me?"

Qiu Tu: .....

"I'll say it again. I really didn't take your central control area!"

At this point, Qiu Tu changed the subject, "But... I know who took your regional central control."

Qiu Tu is probably used to lying; even a single lie he tells sounds incredibly sincere.

For a fleeting moment, Lariel did waver. But she quickly reaffirmed her suspicions.

However, she was indeed curious about what Qiu Tu was really up to.

So she asked, "Who is it?"

Qiu Tu gestured with his hand, "It's...the strange phenomenon is a whale's tail as tall as a mountain."

"The human form is a burly man who is over two meters tall and as tall as an iron tower."

Larilu was taken aback. "A whale shark?"

Qiu Tu shook his head. "I don't know his name. I only know that... in the last two days, this person has been appearing in the New Territories and has even sneaked into the New Territories area."

Larilu looked thoughtful.

After a moment, she said, "The whale is the deity of the corresponding area of ​​Wuhai City next to the New Territories City."

“He is different from me and my sister, who are born gods. His true form is a fourth-order cataclysmic creature, the Void Whale!”

"The path to catastrophe is also 'life'."

"We didn't get along before. Because... he always had ulterior motives towards me."

At this point, Lariro paused for a moment, then asked, "You mean, he stole my regional central hub?"

Qiu Tu nodded slightly.

La Riluo looked at Qiu Tu with disbelief, her face practically screaming: "I think you're making this up."

Qiu Tu already knew that La Riluo wouldn't believe it.

But... he originally just wanted to use this ridiculously fake reason to start a conversation.

So, ignoring Larilu's distrustful expression, he nodded and said, "Yes, Your Highness. I am 99% certain that he stole the regional central control."

"If we find him and kill him, we can reclaim the regional hub and restore your power!"

Larilu leaned against a treetop, her small, jade-carved feet perked up, her scarlet eyes filled with indifference. "Oh~ what if we kill him but don't find the regional central hub?"

Qiu Tu scoffed and said, "Your Highness, you're joking."

"Even if we can't find your regional central hub, can't we find his?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, La Riluo's swaying little feet suddenly stopped, and a thoughtful expression appeared on her face...

Her mind raced. Suddenly, she understood Qiu Tu's implication...

What Qiu Tu just said boils down to one thing: control of the New Territories region is impossible to give to La Ri Luo.

The reason is quite simple. Qiu Tu himself also needs to rely on the regional lord to improve his strength and advance his official rank within the shelter system.

However... Qiu Tu can help La Ri Luo defeat another evil god of the same path, seize that evil god's territory, and help La Ri Luo regain her power!

As for whether Qiu Tu can do this...

Lariro's scarlet eyes began to flicker incessantly.

She remembered... she had sensed Qiu Tu's aura when he made a move before, it seemed to be at the peak of the second tier.

Given another opportunity, I can advance to the third tier.

If the regional lord is completely refined, then he will at least have the strength of a fourth-tier "pseudo-level" being. That can be considered combat power.

But don't forget, Qiu Tu also knows other fourth-order Cataclysms.

Now that I think about it, Liu Xiongyuan, who killed me, must also be one of Qiu Tu's men. With the "Boundless Divine Crystal" formed from his own power, Liu Xiongyuan should have also broken through to the fourth rank.

If I remember correctly, the deputy director surnamed Tang in the New Territories City was at the peak of the third level of the martial arts path.

Such a master could theoretically fight against a fourth-tier opponent.

These are three Cataclysmic Beings around Tier 4. And with the Tier 4 Emerald Shadow Dragon Yiyi acting as a healer...

And my own intelligence....

hiss....

Thinking about this, Lariro suddenly felt that this plan might actually be feasible!

So the only remaining question is: after Qiu Tu kills the whale shark, will he really give himself the "Dock Sea Area" of the Boundless Heart Sea?

In that instant, Larilu gave up.

She felt that Qiu Tu would 100% not give it to her.

Qiu Tu is just making empty promises to himself, trying to get something for nothing.

Just then, as Larilu was thinking this, suddenly, a "Boundless Divine Crystal" the size of a soybean appeared in front of Larilu.

Lariluo was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look, and saw Qiu Tu holding the Boundless Divine Crystal and gesturing to her as if he were teasing a puppy.

Larilu: .....

I'm not a dog, you bastard!

Thinking this, Lariluo closed her eyes in annoyance and took a deep breath! The "Boundless Divine Crystal" in front of her transformed into a galaxy and entered Lariluo's body once again.

Larilu's body solidified once more.

Feeling a fullness in her body that she hadn't experienced in a month, Larilu fell silent...

She understood Qiu Tu's meaning: Regardless of whether the promise was real or not, as long as they cooperated, they could gradually recover their strength, which was better than living in constant uncertainty like they had for the past month.

But she thought about much more...

Qiu Tu has found her now, so she can't run away. Her current situation is actually not much different from before.

First, survive, then... find a chance to escape.

Now it's certain that his sister hasn't abandoned him. So, if he just needs to regain some strength, evade the shelter's capture, and run to his sister, wouldn't that be enough?

Even... if I were ruthless enough, I could send a message to the whale shark, so that it could prepare in advance, gather several evil gods to set up an ambush, kill Qiu Tu and his group, and rescue me!

However, as soon as the idea formed in her mind, Larilu frowned slightly and then dismissed the thought...

After all... compared to the whale shark, she felt that Qiu Tu was cuter.

And... for some reason, she's been dreaming about Qiu Tu these past two days. She dreams of all the little things they did together, of the "good things" he did for her...

Although she couldn't remember anything afterward, it did prevent her from feeling any ill will towards Qiu Tu.

Just like now... the two are clearly mortal enemies, but she didn't want to die with Qiu Tu the moment she saw him. Instead, they sat together and chatted.

'Well, let's just take it one step at a time. At least things are better than before; after all... there's no risk of my soul being scattered.'

Thinking this, Larilu nodded slightly and said, "Alright. You make a good point."

"Then... let's figure out a way to deal with the whale shark and seize its regional central hub."

Upon hearing La Riluo's words, Qiu Tu immediately broke into a bright smile.

He said, “Your Highness! See, this is the right way!”

"Only through cooperation can we achieve a win-win situation."

At this point, Qiu Tu took out a repaired Soul Shackles Altar and said, "Your Highness, would you like to come in by yourself?"

Larilu: .....

Seeing La Riluo's speechless expression, Qiu Tu advised, "Your Highness, although we are cooperating now, you are still a prisoner in the shelter."

"The shelter will conduct random checks on your detention from time to time."

“If you don’t go in, our cooperation will be exposed.”

Larilu: ....

Larilu was speechless, but she resigned herself to her fate and crawled inside.

Seeing La Riluo voluntarily enter the Soul Shackles Formation, Qiu Tu's smile became even brighter.

He looked at Lariluo, who was trapped in the shackles of her soul, and said, "Your Highness, now that we've started cooperating, shouldn't we be more open and honest with each other?"

Larilu had resigned herself to her fate. Lying sprawled on the altar, she asked listlessly, "Speak, what do you want to ask?"

Qiu Tu coughed, finally revealing the purpose behind his long commotion. He said, "Your Highness, I want to ask you something."

"If the whale shark obtains the regional central hub, is it possible for him to refine the regional central hub in a short period of time?"
