Then let them offer their loyalty!

After saying that, she took the initiative to take charge of the work of "repairing the magic circle".

As a god-king, she is extremely efficient at operating the "repair array".

With all efforts, even without Qiu Tu, the magic array could be repaired in just 7-8 days.

It was almost exactly on the line where Zehime would advance.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu frowned slightly, wanting to sabotage the situation further.

But considering that Yaoqin had already settled down, taking the initiative would only put him at a disadvantage.

So after hesitating for a moment and calculating the repair time for the entire "world passage," he ultimately decided to hold off for now...

Meanwhile, Yaoqin, who was holding Qiu Tu in her arms, slightly opened her eyes and glanced at Qiu Tu out of the corner of her eye.

She had been following Qiu Tu closely, and her emotions were constantly fluctuating wildly, making it impossible for her to analyze the situation calmly.

Now that she has calmed down, her god-king level perception has returned.

Although Qiu Tu performed very well and did not reveal the slightest flaw, she still detected a tiny, almost imperceptible hesitation in him with her microsecond-level perception.

She slowly closed her eyes, a plan forming in her mind.

It seems I've found Qiu Tu's true weakness: repairing the magic array.

Or rather... quickly repair the magic circle.

'If I'm not mistaken... he's probably buying time for someone or something.'

'So... quickly repairing the magic circle will force him to reveal his true power...'

Thinking this way, Yaoqin felt even more at ease...

.......

And just like that, three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the past three days, Qiu Tu and Yao Qin seemed to have reached a perfect understanding.

The two did not speak, flirt, or lust after each other or tempt each other's bodies.

Instead, they steadily repaired the "world passage."

Qiu Tu did not deliberately slow down the time, nor did Yaoqin deliberately speed up.

The two were like the most experienced hunters, patiently maintaining a superficial balance, waiting for the other to lose patience and reveal a weakness.

However, as time went on, the two of them couldn't help but feel more and more anxious and stressed.

Qiu Tu is doing this because... with each passing day, the progress of the "World Corridor" repair increases by one step.

If things really go wrong, the entire "Boundless Sea of ​​the Heart" will be destroyed.

Yaoqin, on the other hand, began to doubt her own judgment.

Perhaps it's because Qiu Tu has been performing too perfectly these past few days, and his memories of what happened a few days ago are starting to fade.

Yaoqin is now starting to doubt whether she has misunderstood Qiu Tu...

However, since it wasn't the final moment yet, both of them remained calm and patiently waited...

......

Meanwhile, in the western lands, at the Mandala Sand Sea...

The secret treasure trove of Princess Zetsu.

The treasure vault was filled with "Boundless Divine Crystals," which were transformed from the incarnations of the Eastern God King, Takikawa Ei. The vault was packed full of crystals, making it look like a crystal palace at first glance.

Zhao Ji sat upright in the center of that "crystal world," her aura rising and falling with each breath.

The "Boundless Divine Crystals" that filled the room began to evaporate due to her breathing, filling the entire secret room and even liquefying in the air.

Absorbing the abundant "catastrophe power," most of the "Mandala Sand Sea" above Zhao Ji kept returning and flashing between destruction into dust and restoration.

Along with that bizarre scene, Zhao Ji's strength was also visibly increasing.

However, it's unclear whether they're worried about Qiu Tu or eager to free him from Yao Qin's clutches.

Her usually aloof and expressionless face showed a slight furrow in her brow, a loss of her usual ease and composure...

......

Just like that, two and a half days passed in the blink of an eye.

In another day and a half, the "World Passage" will be repaired, and the Star Forger God King lineage will arrive.

Undersea ruins. Repairing the magic circle.

Yaoqin was still holding Qiu Tu, doing her best to repair the "World Passage".

However, compared to the previous two days, she was noticeably more anxious.

After all... Qiu Tu was far too composed. This made her increasingly doubt her own judgment.

'Could I have guessed wrong? Or does Qiu Tu have some backup plan?'

'Is he really not going to convince himself to set a price for himself?'

Thinking this through, Yaoqin finally couldn't hold back any longer.

After another half day, seeing that Qiu Tu remained unmoved, Yaoqin slowly stopped repairing the "World Passage" and said to Qiu Tu, "It's been repairing for several days now. Shall we rest for a while and have a chat?"

At this moment, Qiu Tu, seeing Yaoqin finally unable to hold back, showed no expression on his face, but inwardly he breathed a sigh of relief.

'Yaoqin finally couldn't hold on any longer... This way, I can take the initiative.'

Thinking this, he also stopped repairing the "world portal," and then chuckled and made a dirty joke.

"What do you mean 'let's chat'? You're clearly after my body and want me to pay my dues, aren't you?"

Chapter 723 Zhao Ji: I'm sorry to have wronged you (Win an iPad with monthly votes!)

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's irreverent words, Yaoqin's lips twitched slightly.

She finally realized it. Qiu Tu was truly shameless.

Both of them are now fully aware of his identity, but he insists on pretending not to be exposed so he can take advantage of them.

That's utterly shameless...

However, to be honest, the "Lake Sheep" group may simply have a more open personality.

Having experienced the destruction of a nation, the end of the world, and various calamities in the "Battlefield of the Gods," Yaoqin's personality has become even more outgoing. She has a kind of unrestrained sense of living in the moment.

Therefore, compared to a taciturn man like Tang Lang, she preferred, or rather... at least didn't dislike, a bad man like Qiu Tu.

Perhaps it's because no one has dared to provoke her like this for centuries, and she has always been rather repressed in some ways.

So... she even somewhat enjoyed Qiu Tu's teasing.

Of course, while she enjoys it, Yaoqin certainly can't show it on the surface.

It wasn't that she felt ashamed, but rather that she realized Qiu Tu was too clever. Any emotion she showed would become a clue for Qiu Tu to understand her, and a bargaining chip for him to use against her.

So, when Qiu Tu flirted with her, she simply glanced at him and said, "You're definitely overthinking it."

"These past two days, I've suddenly lost interest in you."

"After all... I've realized I'm too big, and you're too small. It seems like we're not a good match."

Qiu Tu teased her with dirty jokes, so she retaliated by using dirty jokes to insult him.

But is Qiu Tu someone who gives up so easily?

Besides... what does this size have to do with him? In his "Punishment God Realm" state, his physical appearance uses Tang Lang's parameters.

So he said with a smile, "Women are indeed fickle."

"But it's alright. Men can be fickle too."

"I may have been small before, but I'll be big in the future."

Hearing Qiu Tu's shameless words, Yao Qin scoffed, then gestured to show her height and said, "Why don't you take a look at my size first?"

"No matter how big you are, how big can you be? Compared to [other things], it's just a drop in the ocean."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu smiled and said, "Body size doesn't matter. As long as it aligns and fills the space, isn't that enough?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's arrogant words, Yaoqin's eyes seemed to moisten slightly. Her gaze instinctively shifted downwards, but then, remembering that Qiu Tu was looking at her, she quickly looked back.

Both were adults, and their interactions were extremely intimate and suggestive, instantly creating a more romantic atmosphere.

However, Yaoqin had not forgotten the purpose of her conversation with Qiu Tu.

So she tucked a stray hair behind her ear and coughed lightly, "Anyone can talk a good game. Who knows if they have any real skills..."

Yaoqin's words actually indicate that she has already fallen into a disadvantageous position, and even suggests that she is taking the initiative to back down.

To everyone's surprise, Qiu Tu showed no mercy whatsoever. Faced with Yaoqin's concession, he smiled slightly and replied, "Indeed. You're quite the smooth talker."

"His voice is very pleasant to listen to."

Yaoqin: ? ?

In that instant, Yaoqin was instantly transported back to the intimate moment the two of them had shared two days prior, a moment that had been brought together by a twist of fate.

"you!"

She felt both ashamed and angry, and her once gentle eyes now seemed to be spitting fire.

But then, Qiu Tu smoothly changed the subject, "By the way, you said you wanted to talk to me. What did you want to talk about?"

Yaoqin: ....

After being humiliated by Qiu Tu, Yao Qin originally wanted to explode and show Qiu Tu what the wrath of a god king was like.

As it turned out, Qiu Tu's sudden withdrawal rendered all her countermeasures ineffective.

If she chases after him again, it would seem like she's making a mountain out of a molehill.

'As expected of a chosen one, capable of expelling the Four Great God-Kings and even having the potential to unify a world.'

'That kind of pulling tactic is really powerful.'

After acknowledging Qiu Tu's prowess, Yaoqin relaxed once again.

Instead of confronting Qiu Tu head-on, she chose to discuss business first.

She composed herself, then looked at Qiu Tu and slowly said, "I do want to talk to you."

"I asked you a question a few days ago."

Qiu Tu continued, "Ask me what you're going to do next."

Yaoqin nodded slightly and then said, "Yes."

“You didn’t answer my question at the time.”

"I don't blame you. After all... this is a problem that does need to be thought about carefully."

"And now, six days have passed. With that much time, I think you probably already have your answer."

At this point, Yaoqin reached out and touched the rounded corners on the top of her head, then spoke meaningfully,

"After all... the 'World Gateway' will be repaired soon."

"Once the repairs are successful, Star Forger and the others will arrive. By then, even if you want to speak, you won't have the chance."

Although Yaoqin's words were roundabout, Qiu Tu understood her meaning instantly.

On the surface, she was talking about her own future to seek Qiu Tu's opinion, but in reality, she was talking about the future of "Boundless Heart Sea".

The timeframe she proposed was the repair of the "world portal".
