Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu quickly shook his head and said, "That's impossible."
Qiu Tu said, "Your Highness, you are so powerful. If I secretly pocketed the things, would you forgive me if you found out?"
Even if I advance to the 6th rank, I might not be your match, right?
"If you chase me all the way to the 'Boundless Sea of the Heart - Core Area,' do you think I can escape?"
"Moreover, I'm not the only one who knows about the 'Legacy Flower'; the 'Hidden Mist Society' does too."
"If you've been following the 'Legacy Flower' closely these past two days, you should have noticed that members of the 'Hidden Mist Society' have been searching for it in various cities throughout the state."
"The 'Hidden Mist Society' contains twenty or thirty fifth-tier evil gods, and even a sixth-tier great evil god. How could I possibly protect a treasure of this caliber?"
Qiu Tu spoke from the bottom of his heart.
After all, these were his thoughts and reflections over the past few days.
He's been thinking about this for the past two days. Taking away the "Flower of the Earth's Vein" is easy, but how to clean up the mess is incredibly difficult.
Caught between two major evil god forces, let alone him, even the 8th Sanctuary is somewhat insignificant.
Therefore, he kept thinking about how to both obtain the treasure and get away.
Unfortunately, although he had three or four drafts in mind these past two days, none of them were quite sound.
Therefore, until just now, he had only decided to first secure the benefits, and then take it one step at a time to see if he could find a way to break the deadlock.
Perhaps because Qiu Tu's words were so sincere, Zhao Ji's expression froze, and she didn't know how to refute them for a moment.
At this moment, Larilu nodded, then looked up at Zhao Ji and said, "Sister, I think Qiu Tu makes sense."
Zehime: .....
It felt like Zeki couldn't carry the team at all.
However, she was already used to her younger sister who was a burden. When she and Larilu had their falling out, it was for a similar reason (she wouldn't listen to advice when something happened).
So she didn't bother to persuade him any further, and simply looked at Qiu Tu expressionlessly and said, "You really are a silver tongue."
"But it doesn't matter. After you die, I'll gouge out your tongue and see if you're still so eloquent."
As she spoke, her pupils began to swirl, seemingly preparing to unleash her terrifying eye technique...

Upon seeing this, Qiu Tu's palms immediately began to sweat.
It wasn't until Qiu Tu truly faced Zhao Ji that he could clearly feel her power.
Despite being at the same fifth rank and possessing considerable strength, Qiu Tu faced Zhao Ji as if gazing up at the majestic Himalayas, or looking at the boundless ocean, or perhaps looking down at the unfathomable Mariana Trench!
He wanted to rebel, but to be honest, at that moment, he couldn't muster any desire to do so.
Even more terrifying is that... Qiu Tu, left with no other choice, wants to activate the "Order Space" to directly eliminate Zhao Ji.
However, as soon as this idea was born, he had a premonition.
—Although he and Zhao Ji are of the same rank, and the "Order Space" can be applied to Zhao Ji, Qiu Tu cannot afford the corresponding price.
He had to sacrifice his spiritual power, strength, vitality, lifespan, and even soul in order to use the "Order Space" and then perish together with Zhao Ji.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and did not choose to perish together with his opponent.
Because... he believed in the "loyalty game," believed in Lariel's loyalty score of over 70 points, and believed he still had a glimmer of hope!
At that moment, just as Qiu Tu was thinking this...
As expected... Larilu stood up in a panic, then suddenly stood between Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji, glaring at her sister and shouting, "Sister! If you're going to kill Qiu Tu, kill me too!"
Hearing Larilu's words, Qiu Tu breathed a sigh of relief: He'd made the right bet...
As it turns out, Zhao Ji is now completely unpredictable.
Seeing Larilu's recklessness, she chuckled coldly and said, "Very well. Double happiness."
"Then I'll send you and him to your deaths!"
As she said this, her pupils spun in circles, finally transforming back into the shape of tree rings!
The next second, the surrounding space seemed to be sealed off and began to solidify!
Moreover, it seems that once it solidifies, it will immediately crumble!
Upon seeing this, Qiu Tu immediately activated "Order Space," forcibly raising his strength to the late stage of the fifth rank!
Then he unleashed all his strength, lunged forward, and grabbed Larilu, pulling her into his arms!
"Don't hurt Xiaola! If you have a problem, come at me!"
Zehime remained completely unmoved, her pupils continuing to spin!
The space began to compress wildly, and the previously solidified space looked like it was about to explode at any moment!
Larilu struggled to try and dissuade her sister, but... she was simply too weak to resist Nazōhime's power!
Therefore, she could only keep her eyes open, her whole body stiff.
Time passed second by second!
Just when Lariro was about to give up!
Suddenly, the terrifying power that had been bestowing upon the two of them abruptly withdrew!
However, power can only be transferred from one place to another; it cannot simply disappear into thin air!
So, the next second, a thunderclap resounded throughout the entire city of Qiming!
With a deafening roar, like an earthquake, a massive amount of cataclysmic power spread outwards.
Countless creatures, nourished by this cataclysmic power, began to rise to prominence and undergo mutation.
It was clearly the dead of winter, but at that moment, tender grass sprouted, withered trees blossomed, and birds transformed into feathers, just like spring!
Zhao Ji ignored the strange phenomenon she had caused. She stared expressionlessly at the star-crossed lovers before her, then gestured with her hand.
The next second, the enormous "Earth Vein Flower" that had been silently hovering above Qiming City arrived directly above the three of them.
Zhao Ji held out her left hand as if supporting something, and stretched out her right hand into a knife shape, then swung it sharply.
The next second, millions of transparent threads extending from Qiming City were severed!
The flower of the earth veins suddenly burst forth with a seven-colored light, and then began to shrink rapidly!
In a moment, the "Earth Vein Flower" that had originally enveloped the entire city shrank to the size of a bowl, and then... gently fell, landing on Zhao Ji's delicate hand.
Looking at the treasure shimmering with seven-colored light in her hand, Zhao Ji stared expressionlessly at La Ri Luo and said, "You'll be killed by him sooner or later."
After saying that, she waved her hand, and the "Heart of the Earth's Vein" flew into Lariro's arms.
The next second, Zhao Ji vanished without a trace.
It wasn't until after Zhao Ji left that Qiu Tu belatedly realized his back was completely soaked.
Even though he had died once, he still couldn't remain calm in the face of such terrifying life-or-death situations.
So this also taught him a lesson: never underestimate the heroes of the world.
The Great Evil Goddess Zhao Ji, the 6th-tier Evil God Yaksha, the "Emperor" and "Masked" of the Hidden Mist Society, and the powerful minister Kou Xuan, said to be almost demonically intelligent...
So, if you think about it that way, there are actually quite a few people who can go toe-to-toe with him.
However, he had been too successful before, so he became a little complacent.
Be careful, be careful, and be careful again. Women and children can be careless, but men cannot.
After muttering a few words to himself, Qiu Tu began to analyze his losses from being "ambushed from behind".
With Zeki watching closely from the sidelines, it's clear that the "Heart of the Earth's Veins" is gone for good. But... at least we got the "Eastern City Area" in return.
Although this prevents Qiu Tu from raising the energy level of the area he controls, it still allows him to connect nine areas, meeting the requirements for advancing to a Tier 6 Cataclysmic Being.
Even... Qiu Tu didn't know if this would turn out to be a blessing in disguise.
After all... the "Flower of the Earth's Veins" is indeed good, but most evil gods ascend through the alignment of the nine stars.
While the "Flower of the Earth's Vein" can be cultivated quickly, who knows what drawbacks it might have in the future?
Well... of course, Qiu Tu was just trying to comfort himself.
After all, it's hard for anyone to be happy when their prized possession is stolen.
Thinking this way, Qiu Tu tried his best to calm himself down.
Then he held Lariro in his arms, gently patted her back, and said, "It's alright, little Lariro, it's alright."
"It's all in the past."
Larilu seemed not to have recovered yet, and then gave a soft "hmm".
Seeing this, Qiu Tu smiled and started a conversation, "Actually, I keep dreaming about you lately."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, La Riluo looked up and said expressionlessly, "Is that so? If that doesn't work, I'll have my sister exorcise the evil spirits for you."
Qiu Tu's expression froze. His mind raced, trying to figure out what was wrong with La Riluo.
Just then, Larilu took out the "Earth Vein Flower" from her bosom and threw it at Qiu Tu.
Then she stood up expressionlessly, her back to Qiu Tu, her scarlet eyes shimmering with emotion. "I may not be smart, but I'm not stupid."
"Take care of yourself from now on. I... don't owe you anything anymore."
"Don't contact me again."
After saying that, Larilu flipped her hands and left the real world.
Watching Larilu disappear, Qiu Tu held the "Earth Vein Flower" he had always wanted, feeling a strange tightness in his chest.
This is... completely different from what I expected.
He couldn't help but scratch his head.
So... Lariluo actually realized that she was acting today, but she just didn't call her out on it?
Instead... he pretended to be ignorant while knowing the truth, and used his own life as a bargaining chip to save his own life?
Could this evil god really be a love-struck fool?
Or... is my brother really toxic? Does he teach girls and then make them infatuated?
Qiu Tu felt somewhat unable to understand.
However, he was too lazy to think about it anymore.
Whether it's poisonous or not, he will still give lectures and teach as usual.
The most urgent task right now is to bring Lariro back.
Whether it's for the sake of that evil goddess girl's sincere heart, or for... a perfect evil goddess spy, Qiu Tu cannot really let La Ri Luo leave.
As for why Qiu Tu still dared to go to her when La Riluo left so resolutely and made such definitive statements?
Two reasons.
1. "The Emotional Handbook" [108 Ways to Enhance Relationships] No. 56: When a woman is angry with you, it means she still loves you.
Therefore, don't believe anything a woman says when she's angry. Especially things like breaking up—they're not valid.
On the contrary, at such times, they often desperately want you to win them back and appease them.
Moreover, after going through this stage, your relationship will heat up rapidly.
So... if you're a player or a skilled hunter, you can use arguments to enhance the intensity of your relationship.
The second reason is...
Despite Lariel's resolute departure, her "loyalty" didn't drop by a single point!
So, this evil girl is clearly just being stubborn. She's probably hiding somewhere, feeling miserable right now!
Thinking this, Qiu Tu casually put the "Earth Vein Flower" that he had lost and found back into the jade box, and then flipped the world upside down with both hands, heading to the "Boundless Heart Sea - Enlightenment Region".
