Then let them offer their loyalty!

Thinking this, Qiu Tu did not explain his behavior or respond to Princess Xi's words.

Instead, he directly regained control of the conversation. He asked, "Does the Princess know about Yingfei?"

In fact, Princess Xi was already on the verge of exploding in the face of Qiu Tu's excessive behavior.

After all, she had never been treated so lightly since birth, especially after becoming a princess!

As a result, Qiu Tu's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over her head.

Yes, the person in front of us is a fifth-tier Cataclysm, and a powerful individual capable of single-handedly slaying a late-stage fifth-tier evil god.

A powerhouse of this caliber has already reached the pinnacle of the 6th, 7th, and 8th shelters.

It is enough to do many things, and enough to change many things.

—For example, the situation in Shelter No. 6.

Moreover, and more importantly, Qiu Tu's status was "low".

A mere state legislator, one who hasn't even made it into the upper echelons, can't even represent a shelter.

Therefore, even if he interferes in the internal affairs of the Sixth Shelter, the Eighth Shelter can shift the blame, saying it's a personal matter and has nothing to do with the Eighth Shelter.

Even more drastic measures could be taken, such as expelling Qiu Tu from the Eighth Shelter and forcing him to work in the Sixth Shelter, which would be perfectly acceptable.

It's so rare to find someone who perfectly matches her needs. They could almost perfectly solve all her problems.

Therefore... Princess Xi really doesn't dare to fall out with Qiu Tu.

So... her expression changed a few times, but she finally swallowed her anger.

She changed the subject with Qiu Tu and asked, "I've heard some things."

"Did you manage to capture Eagle Flight?"

Qiu Tu nodded upon hearing this. "Yes. I killed Ying Fei single-handedly in one move and even retrieved his consciousness."

Even though she already knew about Qiu Tu's deeds from the maid, Princess Xi was still somewhat surprised when Qiu Tu admitted it himself.

Kill a late-stage fifth-tier evil god in one move?

What exactly is Qiu Tu's strength?

Peak of the fifth tier?

Leaving aside the fact that advancing to Tier 6 requires going to the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Area," let's just talk about the peak of Tier 5...

How long has it been since Qiu Tucai advanced to the fifth rank? He's already at the peak of the fifth rank.

However, despite having a lot of doubts, Princess Xi did not reveal them, but instead wanted to continue to test Qiu Tu.

As a result, before she could even speak, Qiu Tu brought up a sensitive topic first.

"By the way, Your Highness. What happened when you suddenly jumped off the bed?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Princess Xi froze.

She covered her soft chest and couldn't help but look up at Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu stood by the bed, looking at her with a half-smile.

Although Qiu Tu seemed to be asking a very ordinary question, considering their current relationship and Qiu Tu's behavior just now...

This is simply the most shameless test ever.

If Princess Xi points out that Qiu Tu was responsible, then she will essentially be breaking ties with Qiu Tu. Qiu Tu will most likely no longer help her.

If Princess Xi doesn't point out that Qiu Tu did it, or simply says she didn't sense anything, then she's wrong.

Well... I'm sorry. Since you made up an excuse the first time, the second and third times of harassment will inevitably follow.

Princess Xi's expression shifted as she struggled internally.

Qiu Tu did not force her, but quietly waited for Princess Xi to make a choice.

After a moment, Princess Xi seemed to have made up her mind. She took a deep breath and then took the initiative to back down, saying, "You saw a mosquito on me just now, so you swatted it for me, right? Don't do it again."

Princess Xi's words were somewhat opportunistic. She stated the facts, reminding Qiu Tu that he had gone too far, while also glossing over the matter lightly and maintaining their relationship.

But Qiu Tu had laid the groundwork for so many days just to take a step forward, so how could he possibly accept such an ambiguous explanation?

So, he said with a look of shock, "Your Highness is joking. It's only early spring, where would mosquitoes come from?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Princess Xi: .....

Princess Xi looked deeply at Qiu Tu, her heavy chest heaving violently.

After a moment, she said heavily, "I guess I was dreaming."

Seeing that Princess Xi had given in, Qiu Tu immediately smiled.

See... this is how people's bottom line is broken step by step.

Now, forced by circumstances, they can lie through their teeth. But if Qiu Tu does something even more outrageous in the future, how will Princess Xi dare to resist?

As things progress, these outrageous behaviors of the two will become leverage against Princess Xi.

When those incriminating facts accumulate to the point where they can destroy Princess Xi.

Everything will collapse completely.

At that time, Qiu Tu's words, "Princess Consort, you don't want Prince Kang or the people of the 6th Shelter to know, do you?" will be enough to put Princess Consort Xi in her place.

With that thought in mind, Qiu Tu walked over with satisfaction, got up and helped Princess Xi to her feet.

It must be said that Princess Xi's body was truly soft and fair, so when Qiu Tu helped her up, he couldn't help but gently rub against the little prince's food.

Princess Xi trembled slightly, then said in a deep voice, "Speaker Qiu, please have some self-respect."

Qiu Tu knew he couldn't push too hard. So he didn't continue, but instead took a step back to show his sincerity.

But... he wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the damp area on the front of Princess Xi's dress seemed larger...

In this way, Qiu Tu successfully advanced the progress of winning over Princess Xi, and together with Princess Xi, they arrived at the conference hall next door.

According to Princess Xi, this dream palace was built by herself.

Normally, once the invitation is valid, Princess Xi will arrive at the conference hall, and the guests will follow her there.

As it turned out, she encountered Qiu Tu, who didn't play by the rules.

They seemed to be having a good chat, but then he just disappeared. She had been waiting for Qiu Tu every night for the past few weeks, but tonight she was so tired that she went back to her palace to get some sleep.

Who knew that Qiu Tu would show up at this moment.

Thinking this, for some reason, Princess Xi felt a burning sensation on her left buttock, the side Qiu Tu had just slapped hard...

Upon arriving at the meeting hall, the two sat down. Princess Xi smoothed her hair and then asked...

"Speaker Qiu, you've come to see me this time, so you must have made a decision, right?"

Qiu Tu nodded slightly upon hearing this, and then said, "Yes. After thinking it over, I feel that Shelter No. 6 and Shelter No. 8 are very close by."

“Now that the 6th shelter is in trouble, as a member of humanity, I cannot stand idly by.”

"Therefore, I want to save Shelter No. 6 from this disaster!"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, even with Princess Xi's composure, her expression remained unchanged, but a hint of a smile and happiness still lingered in her eyes.

Thinking this, Princess Xi couldn't help but ask, "So, you've decided to report this matter to Elder Tang?"

Upon hearing Princess Xi's words, Qiu Tu shook his head slightly and then said, "Your Highness, to put it bluntly, your Sixth Shelter is currently embroiled in civil war."

"Let's not even talk about whether you still have a chance to become rulers. Even if there is hope, given the Eighth Sanctuary's principle of 'not interfering in the internal affairs of other sanctuaries,' it's highly unlikely that you will get involved."

"After all... for the other shelters, it doesn't matter who controls Shelter 6."

"After all... in a way, the eldest brother isn't important. Whoever is the eldest sister-in-law's man is the eldest brother!"

Listening to Qiu Tu's strange words, Princess Xi instinctively felt something was amiss. But she couldn't quite put her finger on it...

She glanced at Qiu Tu suspiciously, then decided to continue discussing serious matters.

She couldn't help but ask, "Without the 'Three-Turned Snow Lotus,' how can we cure Prince Kang's illness?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu smiled and said, "Treating Prince Kang's illness is quite simple."

He said, "Your Highness, it's like this. Not long ago, I captured a peak fifth-tier Great Evil God named Mu Ye."

"His ability is a bit strange, but it's very useful."

"Life currency. It allows people to turn their lives and lifespans into currency, which can then be traded to others." (Chapter 440)

"Generally speaking, even in a near-death situation, life currency should be able to save the patient."

"In some ways, this should be even more versatile than the 'Three-Turn Snow Lotus'."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Princess Xi remained expressionless, but she was somewhat surprised.

Qiu Tu's simple words revealed several key pieces of information.

Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji not only captured another fifth-tier evil god, Mu Ye.

Moreover, in just a few days, they actually "tamed" the other party, making it obedient and even allowing it to use its abilities.

As for this special ability called "Life Currency"... Princess Xi does feel that it seems quite powerful.

If even a fifth-tier evil god with the "Life" pathway couldn't save King Kang, then Princess Xi felt that the "Three-Turn Snow Lotus" didn't have much hope either.

However... given Qiu Tu's personality, he definitely wouldn't help me selflessly; he'd most likely still try to take advantage of me.

Thinking this, Princess Xi looked at Qiu Tu and asked cautiously, "Would the evil god help with the treatment?"

"Although it's a bit dangerous,... without a 'Triple-Rank Snow Lotus,' I think it's worth a try."

“However…” Princess Xi paused, then said, “Speaker Qiu, please state your conditions?”

Upon hearing Princess Xi's words, Qiu Tu smiled and said, "Your Highness, you are joking."

"Trying to negotiate terms is a huge underestimation of me, Qiu Tu."

"We're both members of the human race, so what's wrong with helping King Kang cure his illness?"

"This is what I should do."

Princess Xi glanced at Qiu Tu with suspicion.

Qiu Tu's expression remained unchanged as he continued earnestly, "What I'm most concerned about right now is Prince Kang's condition."

"What's wrong with him?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Princess Xi sat down in the main seat of the conference hall and asked, "What do you mean, 'What exactly happened to Prince Kang'?"

After sitting down, she seemed to realize that the neckline was wrong, and she quietly adjusted the neckline of her nightgown.

When she removed her hand, the patch had vanished without a trace.

Then she looked at Qiu Tu again, her gaze sharp, and said with a hint of authority, "I told you before that Prince Kang is ill."

Qiu Tu nodded, then sat down next to Princess Xi and asked, "What illness?"

Princess Xi paused for a moment before saying, "In a deep sleep."

Qiu Tu raised an eyebrow.

A deep sleep, that's interesting.

He couldn't help but ask, "Is being in a coma considered an illness?"

Princess Xi glanced at him expressionlessly. "What if I said he only wakes up for half an hour a day?"

Qiu Tu was taken aback for a moment, and was about to say, "Isn't it that I only wake up for half an hour every day?"

Princess Xi then added, "And during that half hour, he couldn't get up; he could only lie blankly on the bed, staring at the ceiling."

"Although, he seems to be mentally sound, and can even communicate with us."

"But... he no longer has coherent memories."

"No coherent memories?" Qiu Tu asked, somewhat puzzled. "What does that mean?"
