She looked at Qiu Tu and then asked, "Do you have a lot of 'Boundless Divine Crystals'?"
Qiu Tu glanced at her and denied it, saying, "No, I don't. How many 'Boundless Divine Crystals' could someone from a 'peripheral region' like me have?"
"But... don't worry. I definitely won't treat you unfairly."
"If all else fails, I can go 'stocking up' with you."
Candle Dance: ....
Hearing Qiu Tu's "True Hell" joke, Zhu Wu was speechless for a moment. Those evil gods writing about her and her father were truly unlucky.
After a two-second silence, she decisively changed the subject, "By the way, after you've told me about your enemies in the 'Mist Hidden Society,' let me tell you about Qinglan, the regional lord of 'Three Capitals City.'"
Upon hearing Zhu Wu's words, Qiu Tu couldn't help but think of Qing Lan, who had been eavesdropping just moments before. He quickly reached out to interrupt Zhu Wu, "Wait a minute."
Zhu Wu paused for a moment, then looked at Qiu Tu with a puzzled expression.
Qiu Tu mouthed, "Qinglan is watching."
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhu Wu blinked her eyes, which were exactly the same as Shen Ling Shuang's, and a look of realization appeared on her face.
She said, "Alright, let's talk about it after we leave the Azure Mist Divine Realm."
As a result, just as she said this, suddenly, a terrifying aura exploded throughout the entire "Shuangxi Tower"!
That force was so powerful it seemed to reach the sky! It smashed a huge hole in the roof of "Shuangxi Tower"!
A howling wind swept wildly upwards from the sixth floor, accumulating piles of sawdust and clothing!
Qiu Tu and Zhu Wu were startled, and their bodies tensed up instantly, becoming alert in all directions!
Qiu Tu was silently complaining to himself: He and Zhu Wu hadn't said anything! Why was she so irritable?
As a result, just as he was thinking this, the momentum came quickly and went even faster.
The next second, it suddenly contracted and then disappeared completely.
Qiu Tu, who was still in his current state, hesitated for a moment, then activated his seventh-level spiritual power and scanned the entire Shuangxi Tower: there was no sign of Qing Lan.
The only VIP box, the sixth-tier "Heavenly" class, had a large hole in the ceiling through which one could clearly see the starry sky—it was incredibly beautiful and magnificent.
'Huh? Looks like they're not coming for us?'
'Why is that?'
Thinking this, Qiu Tu seemed to have thought of something and suddenly closed his eyes to sense Zhao Ji's location.
The next second, he suddenly opened his eyes, which were filled with tension.
Because... he wasn't wrong. Zhao Ji actually only took half an hour to travel from the extremely distant "Da Hu Pass" to the "Qing Lan Divine Realm".
Based on this, it's highly likely that Zhao Ji entered the "Azure Mist Divine Realm," triggering Azure Mist's alarm. That's why Azure Mist lost control of itself, unleashed its power, and then teleported away instantly.
Thinking about this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but feel a little worried.
After all... Zhao Ji is only at the seventh rank at most.
In the "Azure Mist Divine Realm", Azure Mist is a great evil god at the peak of the eighth rank.
With such a high rank between them, more than a whole major rank apart, and with the advantage of terrain, Qiu Tu really didn't believe Zhao Ji had the ability.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't sit still any longer. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "You all go back to your lodgings right now and pack your things!"
"I have something urgent to take care of right now."
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the others all responded.
Seeing this, Qiu Tu no longer held back and directly activated the "Order Space," stretching its range to its maximum before teleporting towards the border!
Meanwhile...
At the border of the Azure Mist Divine Realm, Azure Mist sat in mid-air, lazily looking at Zhao Ji before her, and spoke.
"You are Zhao Ji?"
Opposite her was Zhao Ji, who had one foot in the Azure Mist Divine Realm.
Zhao Ji glanced at Qing Lan with a blank expression, and surprisingly, her brows furrowed slightly.
'90 points?'
A hint of disbelief flickered in Zehime's eyes, but it quickly turned cold. However, upon closer inspection, one could sense that something unfathomable was hidden within them.
"it's me."
Zhao Ji replied coldly.
Qinglan clearly didn't notice Zhaoji's change. Floating in the air, exuding a strong fragrance of perfume, she lazily said, "Go back. This is my divine realm. I don't want to clash with you."

Chapter 628 Zhao Ji: Either die or give way! (Seeking monthly votes)
Hearing Qinglan's words, Zhaoji looked at her expressionlessly. Although she didn't use any abilities or unleash any aura, the pressure she exerted simply by standing there was like a mountain pressing down on Qinglan.
However, being able to become an 8th-tier Great Evil God and having her talent rated as "90" points by Zhao Ji, Qing Lan is clearly no ordinary person.
Even when faced with the immense pressure from Zhao Ji, she seemed completely oblivious, grinning and even having the leisure to look Zhao Ji up and down.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Ji's expression immediately turned cold. Her exquisite face was like a mountain peak covered by the first snow, its whiteness exuding a chilling aura.
Then she stretched out her right hand, and the temperature in the air suddenly dropped by tens of degrees in the next second. Immediately afterwards, ice crystals began to condense and stretch in her hand!
In just a few seconds, a longsword made of ice appeared in her hand.
As the frost-covered longsword appeared, Zhao Ji looked at Qing Lan expressionlessly, her eyes deep and cold, like a frozen pool in an abyss. She pressed, "Then... what if I want to go in?"
Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qing Lan's face still showed a visible laziness. She looked at Zhao Ji and said bluntly,
"Although you are hailed as a 'reincarnation of a celestial being,' you are only at the late stage of the seventh rank. I, on the other hand, am at the peak of the eighth rank within my own divine realm."
"You don't seem to have any chance of winning. Are you sure you really want to attack me?"
Upon hearing Qinglan's words, Zhaoji replied with a cold and aloof tone, "No one in this world is my match."
"You're not bad, but you're still not good enough."
"So, it's either death or surrender."
Upon hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qing Lan laughed as if she had heard an extremely funny joke.
Then, she abruptly stepped aside, saying, "Then just pretend I didn't say anything. Please come in and have some fun, Your Majesty."
Perhaps not expecting Qinglan to be so assertive just now, but now suddenly change her attitude 180 degrees, Zhao Ji paused for a moment before she could make her move.
She gave Qinglan a cold, icy look, then with a flick of her wrist, the ice sword in her hand shattered into countless fragments that instantly melted into the air.
Then...she casually stepped into Qinglan's divine realm, and walked away step by step. She was like a snow lotus on the Heavenly Mountain, beautiful yet aloof, lonely yet noble...
Meanwhile, Qinglan, floating in the air, watched Zhao Ji's retreating figure with flickering eyes. Then, she chewed on her fingers and murmured to herself,
'Who on earth is this esteemed one? I've never heard of such a person from the last era.'
'And isn't this a bit too arrogant? Does he really think a "god" is omnipotent? A late-stage seventh-tier opponent defeating a peak eighth-tier opponent? Are they going to die together?'
Thinking of this, Qinglan shook her head slightly again, 'Even if it meant mutual destruction, I probably couldn't do it, right?'
'Or is she still holding some trump card before her downfall?'
Thinking this, Qinglan shook her head cutely like a little deer, "Forget it, forget it. I've already given it up, why think about this?"
"Anyway... she went in to find Qiu Tu, and it's about the 'Mist Shadow Society.' It has nothing to do with me."
"La la la. Another day has passed~~ Time to go fishing."
After saying that, Qinglan snapped her fingers, and with a "snap!" she disappeared at the border of her divine kingdom...
Meanwhile.
After Qinglan disappeared, Zhao Ji, who was walking in the "Qinglan Divine Realm", suddenly stopped in her tracks.
It wasn't because she sensed Qinglan's disappearance, but rather... she sensed someone teleporting towards her at incredible speed!
And that person was none other than her target this time: Qiu Tu.
'Why is he here?'
Did he realize I came to see him?
As Zhao Ji thought this, the next second, Qiu Tu suddenly appeared beside her, grabbed her hand, and shouted, "Sister Zhao Ji, it's too dangerous here. Let's leave first!"
As he spoke, Qiu Tu grabbed Zhao Ji, intending to run out of the Divine Realm Kingdom.
Seeing this, Zhao Ji glanced down at Qiu Tu's hand gripping hers, then looked up at Qiu Tu dragging her along as they ran. After a moment of silence, she let go and kicked Qiu Tu in the backside!
"Ouch!" Qiu Tu cried out in pain as he was kicked to the ground.
It doesn't hurt, but it's a bit of a facial blemish.
He lay on the ground, covering his face, then turned to look at Zhao Ji and said irritably, "Sister Zhao Ji, I'm helping you escape. Why did you kick me?"
Zhao Ji looked down at Qiu Tu with a detached expression and remained silent.
Seeing this, Qiu Tu didn't seem to mind. He quickly explained, as if he had truly been misunderstood.
"Sister Zhaoji, you might not know this, but the regional controller of this Divine Realm Kingdom is named Qinglan, and she's one of the high-ranking members of the 'Mist Hidden Society.' She just gave me an ultimatum today, demanding my expulsion."
"If you come to me now, what if she attacks you? What should you do then?"
"She's at the peak of the eighth rank in the Divine Realm Kingdom. You're only at the seventh rank; you're very likely no match for her!"
"I was really worried about you!"
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji: .....
Zhao Ji's lips curled up almost imperceptibly for a moment before returning to normal.
Then, looking down at Qiu Tu with an indifferent expression, she directly exposed Qiu Tu's little trick, "You're already at the seventh level. Your mental power can sweep for several kilometers with a single sweep."
"Whether Qinglan left or not, and whether I am in danger, you should know better than anyone else whether you are smart enough to act recklessly like before."
"So... you just wanted to take this opportunity to hold my hand."
Hearing Zhao Ji bluntly expose his little scheme, Qiu Tu sat on the ground, scratched his head with feigned embarrassment, and then said with a smile, "As expected, nothing can be hidden from Sister Zhao Ji."
"I thought I had done a perfect job."
The 90th of 108 ways to enhance feelings in "The Emotional Handbook": When the level of affection reaches a certain point, deliberately doing some silly things will effectively increase a woman's affection.
P.S.: This method is only recommended for relationships where the woman is dominant, such as those between an older woman and a younger man, or relationships where the woman is a strong, independent woman.
Having lived two lives, Qiu Tu had long understood one principle: when flirting with or dating a woman, one must understand one's own core competitiveness.
Why do the women you're interested in like you?
Is it your appearance, your money, your maturity, or your youth and energy that I like?
Only by figuring out what "attracted" this woman can you address the problem effectively and further strengthen your relationship.
Moreover, sometimes, what attracts women doesn't necessarily have to be your own qualities. Your "skills" can be just as effective.
For example, in Qiu Tu's previous life, some friends played competitive mobile games to attract girls, some showed off their cooking skills to attract girls, and some even posted "rope walking photos" on social media to attract girls.
The girls they attract are all different, and the points they need to explore further are also different.
After all, you can't drag a girl who's interested in cooking or being a nice guy into playing video games; nor can you tie a girl who wants to play video games up...
Therefore, only by finding out the "point" that attracts that girl can you find the right solution.
Like Zehime... she's just too strong. This strength isn't just in terms of physical power, but also in terms of her mindset.
Although Zhao Ji was very taciturn, Qiu Tu could still sense her insightful nature through his several interactions with her.
Putting everything else aside, the fact that she can see through the thoughts and feelings of those around her at a glance, as if she has a "mind-reading cheat," proves that she actually knows a great deal, but is just too lazy to say it.
Therefore, in this situation, there's no point in pretending to be profound or engaging in any kind of scheming with her. It will only backfire.
Only sincerity, and occasionally, deliberately feigning ignorance or silliness, will amuse her and increase her emotional value.
After all... strong, independent women all like younger, more adorable men...
Seeing through or exposing someone's well-intentioned but mischievous thoughts can actually bring a sense of pleasure.
In such situations, well-intentioned "little tricks" are not a minus, but a plus.
