Then let them offer their loyalty!

"Be my woman, my helper."

"Then I'll try to get you a legal identity in the human world so I can keep you by my side."

“I am now the director of the New Territories City Investigation Department. As you know, I also have other forces at my disposal.”

"Therefore, while the entire New Territories cannot be said to be my territory, it can be said to be under my control."

"At times like this, having you by my side is like having your own territory, isn't it?"

"And as I climb higher and higher, and manage larger and larger areas, won't your territory also grow larger?"

At this point, Qiu Tu paused, looked at La Riluo, and then said, "Your Highness, what do you think of my suggestion?"

La Riluo was stunned when she heard Qiu Tu's words.

She'd seen people spout nonsense before, but never anyone this arrogant!

Make an evil god his follower!?

What is Qiu Tu thinking?!

Thinking this, Larilu's eyes suddenly turned bloodshot!

She glared at Qiu Tu, then her voice was forced out through clenched teeth, carrying a hint of coldness and murderous intent, "You...you're asking for death!"

"Qiu Tu, it seems... I really have been too lenient with you."

"To make you mistakenly believe that no matter what you say or do, I won't get angry!"

"Don't think that just because you've become a fourth-tier Cataclysm, you can contend with us fourth-tier gods!"

"You must understand, we gods are the darlings of the world's origin, and the power we possess is beyond your imagination!"

"I didn't want to attack you. After all... you helped me not long ago."

"But now it seems I must show you the difference between an ordinary fourth-tier creature and a god!"

After saying that, La Riluo suddenly lunged at Qiu Tu!

As a result, the next second, Qiu Tu grabbed La Riluo's abdomen and pulled her onto his lap.

Larilu stretched out her hand, her head full of question marks: ?

"Yabi?"

She was completely bewildered, not understanding why she had been so easily subdued by Qiu Tu.

Then... before she could figure it out...

Qiu Tu, who was holding her horizontally on his lap, slapped her plump buttocks three times without any politeness!

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

La Riluo winced in pain and glared at Qiu Tu.

However... perhaps because she posed no threat to Qiu Tu at this moment, she was actually quite cute.

So Qiu Tu slapped him three times with a "slap! slap! slap!"

Larilu struggles! Struggles desperately!

It had no effect whatsoever...

She strained to gather all the cataclysmic power in her body!

However, she discovered that all the power in her body seemed to be sealed off by some mysterious force! She couldn't use any of it at all!

'What the hell is going on?!'

Larilu is almost going crazy!

Seeing Larilu's bewildered expression, Qiu Tu suppressed a laugh and asked, "What did you just say? You want me to see the difference between a fourth-tier creature and a god?"

Larilu: .....

Looking at Qiu Tu's smug face, La Riluo was truly furious.

She wanted to punch Qiu Tu in the eyes twice.

But now he's been captured by Qiu Tu again, and all his power has been sealed...

Lari, having lost her confidence, could only chuckle awkwardly twice, then scratch her head and pretend to be clueless, saying, "Qiu Tu, you must have misheard."

"Given our relationship, how could I possibly lay a hand on you?"

"You must have misunderstood?"

Qiu Tu wasn't fooled. He glanced at La Riluo and asked, "Then what was that when you pounced on me just now? Were you throwing yourself into my arms?"

Larilu: ....

Larilu chuckled awkwardly and said, "I...I just saw you walked so far to 'Boundless Heart Sea,' so I wanted to give you a leg massage."

After saying that, she struggled to get up from Qiu Tu's lap and knelt down next to him like a little maid, patting his legs.

It has to be said that Qiu Tu has really trained her; La Ri Luo is now incredibly compliant and adaptable.

They don't care about the dignity of evil gods at all.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu smiled and patted her head, saying earnestly, "Xiao La... don't be so impulsive."

"Just a fourth-tier evil god. It's not like I haven't killed them before."

"Do you really think I dare to go to the meeting alone without any backing?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, La Riluo quickly chuckled and flattered, "Of course, who can be more cunning than Your Holiness the Pope..."

"Hmm?" Qiu Tu looked at La Riluo.

Larilu coughed and quickly corrected herself, "Who could be more strategic than Your Holiness the Pope?"

Qiu Tu once again stroked La Riluo's smooth hair, pinched her fair and delicate face, and nodded in satisfaction.

It must be said that Lariluo, whose body has been reassembled, has skin as smooth as a newborn baby's, and feels incredibly comfortable to the touch.

Qiu Tu said nonchalantly, "Xiao La, I've already given you chances and let you go twice."

"Why do you always walk right into my trap?"

"Aren't you forcing me to arrest you?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, La Riluo gave a pitiful look and argued, "I really just wanted to give Your Holiness the Pope a leg massage."

Qiu Tu clicked his tongue and said, "Xiao La, this is no fun."

"If you've made a mistake, then admit it."

“We’re on the same side. As long as you pay the ransom, I might be able to let you go.”

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, La Riluo: .....

Larilu is now truly on the verge of tears.

She had no idea what this meant. Sending a gift from afar?

But now the situation is beyond her control, and La Riluo believes that if she really can't offer anything of value, Qiu Tu will definitely capture her again.

So, she gritted her teeth, stomped her foot, took out half of the evil god's corpse that had turned into "Boundless Divine Crystal" from her storage space, and handed it to Qiu Tu with a reluctant expression.

Qiu Tu took the rather heavy "Boundless Divine Crystal" and looked at La Riluo with surprise, "Your Highness, that's impressive. Did you dig up Zhao Ji's lair?"

"Where did all these 'Boundless Divine Crystals' come from?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, La Riluo shut her mouth, fearing that Qiu Tu was eyeing her sister's treasure trove.

But Qiu Tu seemed genuinely innocent. After praising Lariluo, he immediately changed the subject, saying, "This amount of 'Boundless Divine Crystals' isn't enough."

"I need your help with something."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, La Riluo tapped Qiu Tu's legs while looking up with a blank expression and asking, "What kind of help?"

At this point in the conversation, Qiu Tu finally revealed his purpose in coming to see Larilu: "I hope you can help me capture a 'Yellow Charm'."

"I think she is definitely worth studying."

“I have just become the director of the investigation department, but because I was promoted out of turn, the state, the shelter, the city, and the department are all watching me.”

"Therefore, I need a merit that can prove my ability and leave no room for doubt."

"The one I chose is the 'Yellow Demon,' the one who caused so many deaths of 'Regional Lords'..."

"Given how much importance the shelter places on this intelligence, if I successfully capture 'Yellow Demon,' it will definitely be a huge achievement, and I might even receive a direct reward..."

"And this will have a huge positive impact on the 'human faction,' so it can be considered a benefit to all of humanity..."

.........

Meanwhile, in the real world, in the New Territories, at the Investigation Department.

The deputy director's office is on the 12th floor.

Ellie was having a small meeting with Ji Qinglin, the deputy director of the management department, and Lu Cheng, the director of the special operations department.

Qiu Tu was not mistaken; the three did indeed know each other, and were all close confidants of Huang Shangzong.

This time, Huang Shangzong clearly had a different purpose in transferring the three of them over.

Looking around at Ji Qinglin and Lü Cheng, Ellie said with a serious expression, "Old Ji, Old Lü, we've come to the New Territories City Investigation Department with an important mission."

"The Speaker gave specific instructions: find out the relationship between Qiu Tu and the evil god, investigate the mysterious person, and sideline Qiu Tu so that he cannot achieve any political achievements."

"You should have already seen the specific information before you came. I won't repeat it here."

"In short, Qiu Tu is no ordinary person. We must be cautious."

Upon hearing Ellie's words, Deputy Director Ji Qinglin adjusted his black-rimmed glasses and then analyzed earnestly, "The Speaker gave us four tasks. The first two are actually related, and the last two are also related."

"Once we find out Qiu Tu's relationship with the evil god, it will be easy to find that mysterious person."

"With Qiu Tu sidelined, he naturally has no way to achieve political success."

At this point, Ji Qinglin said, "The first two tasks require patience, meticulousness, and luck. We can only investigate and wait little by little."

"But I do have some ideas for the last two tasks."

Hearing Ji Qinglin's words, Ellie's eyes lit up slightly.

She asked, "What's the approach?"

Ji Qinglin adjusted his black-rimmed glasses and said seriously,

"Actually... there is a key figure among the seven high-ranking officials in the entire investigation bureau."

“She has a close relationship with Qiu Tu, is related to another high-ranking official, and is even in the same faction as us.”

Hearing Ji Qinglin's words, Ellie frowned slightly. "You mean Guan Xiao?"

Ji Qinglin smiled and nodded. "Yes. Guan Xiao."

Ellie frowned slightly, somewhat skeptical. "I've heard that Guan Xiao is a die-hard fan of Qiu Tu..."

"Can we win her over?"

Ji Qinglin adjusted his glasses and said with a wise expression, "I think there is hope."

He said, "When I arrived in the New Territories today, I happened to see Guan Xiao come out of Qiu Tu's office with red eyes and a gloomy expression..."

"I guess she must have gone to Qiu Tu to talk about something very important, but she was rejected."

Upon hearing Ji Qinglin's words, Ellie's heart stirred slightly, and she keenly noticed the blind spot.

Her pink and blue pigtails bounced slightly as she asked, "When did you meet her?"

Ji Qinglin hesitated for a moment, then said, "It should be around 10:30."

Ellie gave a slightly disappointed "Oh~".

Ji Qinglin adjusted his glasses, looked at her suspiciously, and asked, "Why do you look like that? What are you thinking about?"

Ellie leaned back with her soft body and said casually, "It's nothing."
