Inside was a small pink card, which felt heavy in my hand, more like metal than paper.

He picked it up, examined it, and then smelled it. It had a faint scent of woman's body and milk, which smelled quite nice.

Ellie watched Qiu Tu's actions and couldn't help but think of how the card had been taken from the Queen Xi's cleavage. Her face flushed slightly. She wanted to stop Qiu Tu's disrespectful behavior, but she was too embarrassed to say anything.

As it turned out, Qiu Tu paused slightly at that moment, and then a look of realization appeared on his face.

Because, just as he smelled the fragrance, a line of neat, small characters appeared on the card.

"Dream Invitation: Place it by your pillow before falling asleep. After you drift off, you will enter the same dream where you can talk, communicate, and interact..."

Watching the line of small characters appear and disappear silently, Qiu Tu clicked his tongue.

This princess... has so many tricks up her sleeve.

Chapter 494: His strength is not to be underestimated. (Thanks to the patron "I Love This World"!)

Just then, as Qiu Tu was thinking this, Ellie coughed lightly and said softly, "The princess said that once you get the card, you will naturally know how to use it."

"I don't need to convey that."

Qiu Tu nodded slightly upon hearing this. There was indeed no need for Ellie to convey this. After all, once he received it, the instructions for using it automatically appeared on the card.

This suggests that the princess must have used some special means to create this "dream invitation".

This method can be activated directly after Qiu Tu's aura is detected, or after certain conditions are met.

'It seems... Princess Xi's strength is quite considerable?'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu recalled the scene when he suppressed the entire delegation of envoys today.

Unless a cataclysmic being actively unleashes their power or is passively triggered by a strong stimulus, outsiders cannot know their true strength.

Therefore, Qiu Tu suddenly unleashed his aura to suppress the entire delegation in order to provoke the Cataclysmic Ones within the delegation and see if there were any hidden experts among them.

However, the result was not ideal.

Aside from discovering that the delegation was very strong—most of them were Cataclysmics, many of whom were second- or third-tier Cataclysmics—he also noticed that Kou Yu's strength was extraordinary.

At that moment, his imposing aura suddenly swept over him, and Kou Yu's aura clearly indicated that he wanted to compete with him.

However, Kou Yu may have been arrogant and domineering, but he was also quite shrewd and knew that he couldn't leave no cards untouched, so he withdrew his momentum as soon as it was unleashed.

Even so, Qiu Tu could roughly determine that his strength was not low.

This can be seen from the fact that when Kou Yu later met Qiu Tu, although he was no longer so aloof, he still carried a bit of arrogance.

Deep down, he still considered himself equal to Qiu Tu, or even superior to him.

Furthermore, considering the information Guan Xiao provided about Kou Yu—that he possessed "extraordinary talent," was a high-ranking member of the Sixth Sanctuary, belonged to the Kou family, the most powerful family in the Northwest, and had a brother who was a powerful minister capable of usurping the throne...

Qiu Tu strongly suspected that he might have also reached the fifth level.

After all, the Sixth Sanctuary was inherently stronger than the Eighth Sanctuary. As one of the controllers of the Sixth Sanctuary, and with ambitions to usurp the throne, the Kou family would certainly do everything in their power to support their family's genius.

It's not an exaggeration to say that conquering several "Boundless Heart Sea Regions" and cultivating a few experts would enhance the strength of one's own family.

Compared to Kou Yu, what surprised Qiu Tu was Princess Xi.

At that time, Qiu Tu realized that Princess Xi's strength seemed to be quite formidable as well.

Although Princess Xi was also hiding her strength, Qiu Tu felt that Princess Xi should be at least at the third or fourth level, given the imminent threat.

However, the woman was clearly playing dumb to deceive Kou Yu, so she withdrew even faster than he did.

This made it unclear to Qiu Tu about her strength.

And combined with tonight's "Dream Invitation", Qiu Tu felt that Princess Xi was at least a fourth-level being.

Of course... relatively speaking, she probably only had a slight estimate of Qiu Tu's strength. Or even underestimated it in large part.

After all, if she truly knew Qiu Tu's strength, she wouldn't have retreated after only testing him in the car.

Tonight, she suddenly asked Ellie to help contact Qiu Tu, which clearly meant she had updated her information about Qiu Tu.

Was it Yan Yan who instigated this?

Thinking about it this way, Qiu Tu felt that he had roughly sorted out Princess Xi's emotional journey towards him that day.

He put the card away and said, "Yes, I know how to use it."

"Come on, tell me what you and Princess Xi talked about tonight?"

As he spoke, Qiu Tu picked up Ellie and placed her on his lap.

Qiu Tu was playing with her pigtails.

Ellie felt that the posture was a bit strange.

So, she couldn't help but gently shift her little bottom.

This change made her bite her lip lightly, restraining her increasingly unrestrained thoughts, and she began to tell Qiu Tu everything that had happened with Princess Xi that night.

Qiu Tu listened silently, but his hands were playing with Ellie's straight legs, so soft and delicate, and he would occasionally tug at Ellie's pigtails.

For some reason, Ellie felt that there was something wrong with her twin ponytail hairstyle.

The good news is... it can increase attack power.

The bad news is... it seems the attack was added by the villain Qiu Tu.

And so, under Qiu Tu's harassment, Ellie told him everything that had happened that night.

As Qiu Tu expected, it was indeed Yan Yan who provided the assist.

This little female dog is really capable; she brings back prey for herself every now and then.

I should reward her when the time is right.

But now... the one I should reward is Ellie.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu lifted Ellie up by her bottom halfway through her speech.

Qiu Tu's sudden movement startled Ellie. She gasped and instinctively wrapped her legs around Qiu Tu's waist.

Qiu Tu smiled and looked at her, then said, "You were so proactive last time, I already understand your feelings."

"So, this time it's my turn to take the initiative."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Ellie was startled and quickly exclaimed, "Wait, wait a minute. Last time..."

Ellie was unaware of the truth from last time, but Qiu Tu did, so how could he possibly give Ellie a chance to object?

He lowered his head and kissed Ellie on the lips, then carried her to the bedroom.

During this period, Ellie often dreamed about Qiu Tu at night.

I dreamt of the absurd things that happened between the two of us.

This often makes it difficult for her to distinguish between reality and dreams. And... she's constantly frustrated.

I felt that I, as a girl, shouldn't do such a thing.

Now that her dream has come true, she unexpectedly finds herself... somewhat at ease, somewhat expectant, as if she had already made all the preparations deep down.

So, she held Qiu Tu in her arms and kissed him deeply, completely forgetting her own identity.

Everything was over, and the room fell silent.

Qiu Tu held the unconscious Ellie in his arms, lit a cigarette, and smoked it quietly, as if he was thinking about something.

After smoking for a while, Qiu Tu released his arm around Ellie and stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray.

Then Qiu Tu got out of bed, put on a coat, and left the room.

Once outside the room, Qiu Tu made a thought. The next second, Zhu Huoyan, the commander of the Dark Soldiers, appeared beside Qiu Tu.

He knelt on one knee and greeted them in a low voice, "My lord."

Qiu Tu straightened his clothes and then said in a low voice, "I feel like I miscalculated something. Can you help me set up a plan now?"

"Yes." Zhu Huoyan responded, stood up, listened carefully to Qiu Tu's arrangements, and then disappeared into the darkness.

Watching Zhu Huoyan's figure disappear, Qiu Tu returned to his room with a deep gaze.

Ellie was, after all, just a light and soft girl who could be easily pushed over, so Qiu Tu saw that she was asleep and did not wake her up. Instead, he got into bed, held her, and prepared to sleep.

As a result, just as he was about to go to sleep, he suddenly remembered the "Dream Invitation" that Princess Xi had given him.

With a thought, Qiu Tu felt a sudden urge, and the next second, the "Dream Invitation" flew out of the pocket of the clothes he had thrown on the ground and landed in his hand.

Qiu Tu held the pink card, his eyes flickered for a moment, then he chuckled and put it directly into his "dimensional space".

Princess Xi asked him to meet, so he agreed?

Wouldn't that make him lose face?

So what if Princess Xi is beautiful?

Give grass, 100 points; don't give grass, 0 points.

He's surrounded by women, and he's not a cuckold or a simp. She's just one woman; does he really think he can get something for nothing just by looking at her?

Thinking this, Qiu Tu hugged Ellie and slowly fell asleep.

The night sky was clear and deep, vast and boundless, like an endless painting.

As night fell and all was quiet, the moon hung in the sky, its pale blue light bathing the earth and casting a cool glow over the still night.

The delegation's residence was Princess Xi's villa.

Princess Xi suddenly opened her eyes and slowly sat up in bed. Her beautiful face was filled with surprise.

'Why... didn't I enter the dream space?'

Did Qiu Tu not see his notification, or did he deliberately not go?

'Or perhaps…' Thinking of this, Princess Xi considered a third possibility, 'Qiu Tu was a bit busy and delayed?'

Thinking this way, Princess Xi felt that it must be so.

So she lay down again and tried to sleep.

Another half hour passed, and Princess Xi suddenly opened her eyes again. 'Something's wrong! Qiu Tu still hasn't come!'

'Are there that many official duties in Dongye Prefecture?'

Thinking this, Princess Xi felt she should give Qiu Tu another chance, and so she fell into a deep sleep again...

That night... felt incredibly long.

......

The next morning, Qiu Tu got up early.

With a mental scan, Qiu Tu discovered that Ellie seemed to have woken up.

The girl was clearly shy and pretending to be asleep because it was her first time sleeping with a man.

Upon realizing this, Qiu Tu's lips curled into a slight smile.

Then he yawned and deliberately turned around with a large, exaggerated motion.

Turning around, he acted as if he had just noticed Ellie, then feigned surprise and said, "Huh? Who put Director Ellie in my bed?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's shameless words, Ellie suppressed her laughter and continued to pretend to be asleep.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu instinctively reached out and touched her. "Wow, Director Ellie's skin is so smooth. I'll take advantage of her while she's still asleep."

As he spoke, Qiu Tu began to grope Ellie's body indiscriminately.

At this point, Ellie could no longer pretend to be asleep. She giggled and dodged around on the bed.

In an instant, pigtails flew wildly, and laughter filled the air.

Just as Qiu Tu successfully caught Ellie again and whispered in her ear in a deep, magnetic voice, "Want to take a gamble? How long can you hold out this time?"...

Suddenly, there was a knock on his bedroom door from the outside, and then Shen Lingshuang's voice came from outside the door, "Speaker, are you awake?"

Hearing the knock on the door, Ellie was startled and hurriedly grabbed the blanket and covered herself with it.

Qiu Tu chuckled and patted her little bottom, then asked in a deep voice toward the door, "What is it?"
