Then let them offer their loyalty!

She looked like she had just taken a shower; her hair was disheveled, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes still glistened with tears. She possessed a captivating beauty that seemed ready to be taken.

If Guan Xiao were here, she would recognize... the girl in front of her is one of her three inseparable best friends, Yan Chen's daughter: Yan Yan...

At this moment, Yan Yan was no longer the innocent and cute girl she usually was.

Her hands were bound with rope, and she knelt down before Qiu Tu, like the lowest of female slaves...

Seeing this, Qiu Tu seemed to have expected it and stepped inside.

As he walked, he continued, "Just now...did you hear what my subordinate said?"

Yan Yan raised her head, looking at Qiu Tu with a crazed expression, and then nodded.

Qiu Tu asked, "So what do you think?"

Yan Yan knelt beside Qiu Tu, looking up at him with a hint of ingratiation in her expression. "I will definitely obey Master's orders. I will be a good spy for Master..."

Seeing how sensible and obedient Yan Yan was, Qiu Tu couldn't help but smile.

But...only those who know him very well can see that although his face is smiling, there is still an unyielding coldness and clarity in his eyes...

Yan Yan came to Qiu Tu on the first day he moved into the garden villa.

Of course, Yan Yan only said one sentence and did one thing.

She asked Qiu Tu, "Do you want to take revenge on your enemies?"

Then... she removed all her armor... even her inner armor.

All that was left for Qiu Tu was a white jade sculpture...

Qiu Tu was actually a little confused at the time. He had no idea what Yan Yan was doing.

Revenge against the enemy?

Which enemy?

Ellie? Huang Shangzong? Or... Yan Chen?

To be honest, when Qiu Tu first met Yan Yan, he suspected that she was a person with a contrasting personality.

However... the contrast was so great that Qiu Tu was completely stunned.

It wasn't until he saw Yan Yan remove her T-shaped nails that Qiu Tu roughly guessed what Yan Yan was thinking.

This girl most likely lives in an extremely stressful single-parent family.

The father or mother is domineering, gloomy, and extremely controlling, making it almost impossible for the child to express any of their own opinions.

Everything must be done according to his/her wishes, and everything must be done according to the parents' wishes.

If anything is slightly displeasing, you may be subjected to verbal abuse or physical punishment.

Children raised in such families often appear quiet and obedient on the outside, but are rebellious and extreme on the inside.

They might even come to hate their parents because of this.

And Yan Yan is most likely the same – because she hates her father, she simply submits herself to her father's enemy.

They're willing to do anything to get revenge.

After figuring out Yan Yan's feelings, Qiu Tu simply accepted her as a friend.

Although they weren't eaten directly, there was still some close contact.

Yan Yan seems to enjoy this as well, often using the pretext of supervising and investigating Qiu Tu to get rid of her two best friends and meet with Qiu Tu in secret.

To be honest, sometimes Qiu Tu doesn't quite understand Yan Yan's mentality...

Even now... Yan Yan's loyalty level is only a pitiful 27.

Qiu Tu once suspected that she was deliberately sacrificing herself to deceive him.

This is also why Qiu Tu remained vigilant and didn't eat Yan Yan...

Now, it's time for Qiu Tu to test Yan Yan's "quality".

Thinking this, Qiu Tu reached out and pinched Yan Yan's chin, lifting her face up, and then said calmly, "Yan Yan... with your intelligence, you should know that I am not someone who easily trusts others."

"So...do something for me. Once you do it, I'll truly consider you one of my own."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Yan Yan quickly nodded, "Please go ahead."

Qiu Tu said, "Tomorrow night, I will send a trusted confidant to deliver a top-secret item."

“This item is related to one of my biggest secrets, and it’s connected to an evil god.”

Seeing that Yan Yan seemed lost in thought, Qiu Tu gently stroked her delicate face and said, "I hope you will tell Ellie or Yu Zhengyi this news."

Yan Yan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. She clearly didn't understand Qiu Tu's logic in doing this.

Qiu Tu said, "If you have a way to keep your identity hidden, then I hope you can incite them to rob this valuable item."

"If it cannot be avoided, then there is no need to say anything."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Yan Yan looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Then she asked softly, "Master, did you set this up?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu smiled and shook his head, then smiled and nodded.

Finally, he simply uttered two words, "Guess."

Yan Yan seemed truly determined to follow Qiu Tu to the bitter end. She looked at Qiu Tu with burning eyes and said, "I won't guess. I just need to complete the task that Master assigned to me."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu smiled and touched her face again, then glanced at the "loyalty" rating above her head.

Hmm... still 27.

Qiu Tu smiled.

After helping Yan Yan get dressed, Qiu Tu saw her off from his office.

Watching the girl's figure slowly disappear into the distance, Qiu Tu's lips curled into a meaningful smile...

Then he turned around, wanting to go back to his office to rest.

As soon as he turned around, he was startled!

Because, not far behind him, Tang Feifei was looking at him with a cold expression.

Upon seeing this, Qiu Tu asked in surprise, "Feifei? When did you get back?"

Tang Feifei looked at him expressionlessly, then said, "While you were dressing the girl."

"I didn't want to bother you at the time, so I just stayed outside the door."

Qiu Tu:......

Qiu Tu felt that at that moment, he was just like some villains in anime: Although I have committed murder, arson, rape, and kidnapping, I really did not steal lollipops from children!

Like Qiu Tu: Although he often sneaks food behind Tang Feifei's back, today, damn it, he really didn't eat anything! He didn't even lick it!

This is so unfair!

So... the next second, Qiu Tu said, "Feifei, let me explain... no, let me clarify."

---------

It's almost 6 a.m., and I've written 2 chapters totaling 1 words...

Please, considering how late I've been working on these updates every night, on the first day of the month, give me a guaranteed monthly vote!! Please~~

Chapter 397 Role Playing with Tang Feifei (10,000 words, please vote!)

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tang Feifei chuckled softly.

Then she gave Qiu Tu a cold look, and as she walked towards the office, she said, "Fine, I'll give you time to make excuses."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu quickly said, "It was a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue, it was an explanation."

With her back to Qiu Tu, Tang Feifei smiled again, but her tone remained as cold as ever as she said, "Fine, I'll give you time to explain."

After saying that, she paused slightly and said, "Anyway... we have plenty of time tonight."

Hearing Tang Feifei's words, Qiu Tu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. He then said, "That's right, we have plenty of time to explain tonight."

As he spoke, Qiu Tu followed Tang Feifei into the office.

As the office door slowly closed, Qiu Tu seemed to remember something and suddenly looked at Tang Feifei with a surprised expression, "Wait a minute, Feifei."

"When you say you have plenty of time... do you mean time for explanation?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Feifei turned around, raised her eyebrows slightly, and gave a half-smile to her wheat-colored face.

Qiu Tu: .....

"Honey! Say something! Don't scare me!"

So, over the next few hours, Qiu Tu properly explained his relationship with Yan Yan to Tang Feifei.

During a lull in the fighting, Qiu Tu put his arm around Tang Feifei, lit a cigarette, and his face no longer showed the panic he had felt before the battle began.

Clearly... that nervousness, fear, and desperate attempt to explain were all an act.

Over the past few months, the two of them have come to know each other very well.

It's no secret that Qiu Tu has many female companions.

Tang Feifei was neither deaf nor blind, so of course she had heard it countless times before.

This time, even if Qiu Tuzhen and Yan Yan did have something happen, Tang Feifei wouldn't be angry.

So... there's only one possible reason she's "angry": she's playing around.

Qiu Tu also understood Tang Feifei. This woman was strong-willed and never admitted defeat.

Last time, Qiu Tu "cheated" and defeated her, even creating a defeat CG.

Tang Feifei was definitely not convinced and tried every means to have another showdown with Qiu Tu.

Now that she's the vice speaker and has become the head of the region, Qiu Tu... can't very well refuse her.

So, he simply played the role of a "weak" "caught in the act" that Tang Feifei liked the most, just to make Tang Feifei happy once.

Of course... another important reason is: Tang Feifei started acting first, and Qiu Tu didn't cooperate, so wasn't he just dragged away anyway...?

After recalling the tacit understanding between him and Tang Feifei, Qiu Tu stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray and finally had time to ask about Tang Feifei's situation.

"You're already the lord of the region?"

Perhaps realizing that Qiu Tu was deliberately playing along, Tang Feifei, in her act, stopped pretending to be the "high and mighty" matriarch...

Instead, she nestled in Qiu Tu's arms like a kitten... no, a little leopard.

So, upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, she looked up at him with her beautiful eyes and nodded slightly.

"Success."

After she finished speaking, she added, "It's amazing."

"I never imagined that the 'Lord of the Region' would be such a being."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu stroked her smooth back and said with a smile, "Before becoming the 'Regional Lord,' I never imagined I would have such unique privileges."

Her wheat-colored skin was like satin, smooth and elastic, and felt wonderful to the touch.

As he touched her, Qiu Tu seemed to remember something and quickly said, "Oh, right, there's something else I need to tell you."

Tang Feifei hummed in response, her clear eyes looking at Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu said, "After becoming the ruler of the region, some unusual phenomena will occur in two or three days. Your body will also suddenly feel a bit tired."

"Don't be afraid. You're just being harassed by a special catastrophic creature called 'Yellow Fiend.'"

After speaking, Qiu Tu explained "Huang Mei" to Tang Feifei in detail.

Tang Feifei was already quite surprised when she heard that there was a creature that could freely travel between two worlds and that it fed on the spiritual power and life force of catastrophic creatures.

Upon hearing that this creature could become invisible and its body could become ethereal, her brows furrowed deeply.

As a native of this world and a powerful figure behind the shelter's leadership, Tang Feifei's perspective has always differed from Qiu Tu's.

So her first thought was—this intelligence is too important for the shelter and the human faction!

Because the Eighth Sanctuary was the most recently established sanctuary, it was only recently that a "Regional Lord" was born there.
