Then let them offer their loyalty!

No one knows their true stance. No one knows which side they're actually acting for.

So, over the years, Zhiyan Heavenly King gradually got used to her position in the Second Shelter: although she was one of the three Heavenly Kings, she felt like an outsider.

This is why she now only deals with matters related to humans and evil gods.

This is also the reason why she sent Li Feng to the outlying areas to expand her own business:

She's already faced so much criticism and disdain. Li Feng, this child with the blood of an evil god, will undoubtedly face even greater challenges in the future.

She originally thought that as time went by, the other two Heavenly Kings would gradually understand her and acknowledge her sacrifice.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Tu was the first to understand her.

Thinking this, her eyes suddenly reddened.

At this moment, Qiu Tu keenly noticed the change in Zhiyan's emotions.

He glanced down at Heavenly King Zhiyan, then asked with concern, "Little sister Zhiyan, are you alright?"

As he spoke, he did something a little out of line for the first time that night. He walked around the sofa, came up to Zhiyan from behind, and then reached out to pull her into his arms, gently patting her back.

While patting him, Qiu Tu comforted him, saying, "It's okay, it's okay. Don't feel wronged, don't feel wronged."

Originally, Zhiyan might have been able to hold back, but Qiu Tu's words of comfort made her break down.

However, she was past the age of crying out loud, so her eyes were only slightly moist as she leaned against Qiu Tu's lower abdomen, quietly soothing her grievances.

Seeing Zhiyan Tianwang's appearance, Qiu Tu's mind raced. After a moment, he sighed slightly and said, "Alas, this matter is actually my fault too."

Perhaps unable to understand what this had to do with Qiu Tu, Zhiyan looked up at him and asked, "Why do you blame me?"

Qiu Tu lowered his head, reached out and touched her smooth face, and said, "Because I was born so many years later."

"If I had been born earlier, maybe you wouldn't have had to suffer those injustices."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the corners of Heavenly King Zhiyan's mouth involuntarily curled upwards. Clearly... even though she knew Qiu Tu was just flattering her, she was still quite pleased.

However, as a mature woman, Zhiyan certainly couldn't show her emotions so easily.

So, she deliberately seized on the loophole in Qiu Tu's words, and then sighed, "Yes... we're decades apart in age."

"If you think about it carefully, I could be your great-grandmother."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu replied without hesitation, "What great-grandmother, what decades? You've just lived a few more years than me."

Upon hearing this, the corners of Heavenly King Zhiyan's mouth couldn't help but curl into a beautiful smile once again.

She quickly suppressed a smile and continued, "You're just trying to comfort me."

Her eyes were lowered, like two pools of autumn water, and her gaze seemed to be able to captivate and bewitch. "In fact, I am just old."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu half-embraced her and then said softly, "You're not old, it's just that I didn't have time to accompany you, leaving you to walk alone for a very long time."

Qiu Tu's sweet words kept Zhiyan's lips curling into a smile.

What's even more troublesome is that... she discovered that Qiu Tu had also skipped class.

Her face was pressed against Qiu Tu's leg, her line of sight parallel to his, and she could easily see that perfect curve.

In that instant, Heavenly King Zhiyan felt a surge of heat within her, and the atmosphere in the entire room seemed to change. She couldn't help but swallow.

But don't forget, it's late at night and everyone is still there. There are only the two of them in the inner courtyard of the city lord's mansion.

So, it was fine if she didn't swallow. But the moment she did, her voice became incredibly clear.

Upon hearing that voice, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look down at Heavenly King Zhiyan.

At that moment, Heavenly King Zhiyan was also looking up at him.

Their eyes met.

In that instant, it was as if something had been ignited with a "boom!"

Qiu Tu scooped up Zhiyan Tianwang in his arms and strode toward the bedroom next door.

At this moment, Zhiyan, the Heavenly King, was held in Qiu Tu's arms. Her eyes were like water, revealing a touch of mature woman's charm and shyness.

Qiu Tu immediately silenced her with a kiss, saying, "I can't wait any longer. I've come to collect yours."

It must be said, mature women do possess a unique charm. Although she initially said no, she quickly...

Of course... because Heavenly King Zhiyan's strength was relatively weaker, she could only wipe away her tears after the battle...

The moon, high in the sky, hid behind the clouds, and the night passed without incident.

Soon, the next day arrived.

Qiu Tu was awakened by a series of urgent phone rings.

Because he's been quite busy lately, and also because... Zhiyan's strength is far inferior to Qiu Tu's, Qiu Tu behaved very restrained last night.

This also meant that even though he hadn't slept for long, he was still full of energy.

She gently moved the Heavenly King Zhiyan away from her, who was clinging to her like an octopus.

This woman may seem very dignified on the surface, but once you actually get her, she becomes quite clingy.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu picked up the communicator and glanced at it.

As a result, his expression froze slightly upon seeing it.

Because the caller was none other than Li Feng, the daughter of Heavenly King Zhiyan...

Qiu Tu glanced at Zhiyan lying beside him.

Although he had no interest in Li Feng, the fact that he had accidentally turned a vulgar curse into reality still made him feel a little guilty.

Thinking this to himself, Qiu Tu put on a coat, went to the study outside, and answered the phone.

As soon as the call connected, Li Feng's voice came through the receiver, "Qiu Tu, what are you doing?"

Qiu Tu: ....

Qiu Tu was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't think you want to know."

Li Feng: ?

Li Feng on the other end of the phone clearly didn't understand Qiu Tu's meaning. She assumed Qiu Tu was simply unable to answer, so she didn't press him. Instead, she said with a hint of excitement, "I have some good news to tell you! Guess what it is!"

Qiu Tu also wanted to say: I have some good news to tell you. I'm a father.

But he dared not...

Chapter 734 Li Feng: Mom? What happened between you and Qiu Tu? (Seeking monthly votes)

While his mind was wandering and he was taking advantage of Li Feng, Qiu Tu coughed and then asked, "Good news?"

"For someone to be so happy and contact me so early in the morning, the good news must be quite significant."

"Let me think..."

With this in mind, Qiu Tu's mind raced.

Qiu Tu and Li Feng have a decent personal relationship. But at most, it's just a decent relationship.

He knew that Li Feng was interested in him. But... at least until now, he was only interested in Heavenly King Zhiyan.

Therefore, Li Feng would definitely not come to me because of personal relationships; if that's the case, then it must be business.

In official matters, Li Feng is now one of the highest-ranking members of the entire Human Alliance. Together with Tang Feifei, she is primarily responsible for military operations.

Generally speaking, Tang Feifei is the chief commander who oversees the central command, while Li Feng works in conjunction with Guan Xiao, with one in charge of actual military operations and the other in charge of intelligence work.

Therefore, during this period, the three women communicated and interacted more and more closely, and their relationship grew better and better.

And then he recalled the good news Li Feng had mentioned...

Qiu Tu immediately had a guess in his mind.

He couldn't help but ask, "Have you made a breakthrough in combining your cataclysmic abilities with Guan Xiao's?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Li Feng on the other end of the phone was taken aback.

Clearly, she hadn't expected Qiu Tu to guess so accurately, to have guessed what she wanted to say with just a simple sentence.

Thinking this, she couldn't help but say, "Yes."

"Using the method taught to her by Sister Zhaoji, Tang Feifei cracked Guan Xiao's cataclysmic ability over the past few months."

"Afterwards, she and Shen Lingshuang worked together to create a 'special artifact' using this cataclysmic ability."

"This 'Special Noble Phantasm' allows me to unite and resonate with Guan Xiao's cataclysmic ability 'Insect Mother,' and borrow its power."

"Therefore, as long as Guan Xiao and I are together, I can command the 'Puppet Insect' army."

"This isn't over yet."

"Because my cataclysmic ability is quite magical, I can combine the strength of all the creatures linked to me at birth with my own. Furthermore, I can share life with them."

"Therefore, this bonus was also transmitted to the 'Puppet Insect' army through this ability."

At this point, Li Feng paused for a moment, then added, "Of course... not all puppet insects can meet the requirements of this kind of link."

"But even though it was only a part of it, it still greatly increased my strength."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu's eyes lit up, and he was startled.

Even when Qiu Tu first met Li Feng, he already knew about the commander of the "Iron Women's Army" and that amazing Iron Women's Army.

After learning about Li Feng's special abilities, he remarked that if Li Feng could quickly expand the number of "Iron Women's Army," she could not only become the commander of a large army, but also a true top-tier powerhouse.

This is an extremely powerful force for the human faction.

Unexpectedly, this day actually came true.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but smile. He said, "Not bad, not bad. I didn't expect that you two would actually have such a magical chemical reaction."

At this point, Qiu Tu asked, "How many 'Puppet Ants' can you stack up at most now? And what level of strength will that give you?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Li Feng quickly replied, "I've only been able to test with a maximum of 13,000 'Puppet Ants' so far, which can boost my strength to the peak of the seventh rank, close to the early stage of the eighth rank."

"Further up, not only have we not been able to filter out that many 'puppet ants,' but... my body is already starting to feel the strain of that power."

Qiu Tu nodded slightly upon hearing this. He understood perfectly. Last night, even her mother, Heavenly King Zhiyan, had struggled to withstand his onslaught.

Both mother and daughter were clearly in relatively poor physical condition.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but say, "Then it seems you need to further improve your physical endurance."

"It would be best to elevate one's own level of understanding."

At this point, Qiu Tu said, "Here's what I'll do. I'll allocate a special 'Boundless Sea of ​​Mind' area for you to help you elevate your cultivation level."

"Then, put everything else aside for now and focus all your energy on improving your cultivation level and selecting a batch of 'Puppet Ants' that you can control."

As he spoke, Qiu Tu walked to the desk next to him, preparing to pick up a pen and write a formal document.

And then, at that very moment...

I wonder if Qiu Tu's phone call disturbed Zhiyan Tianwang inside the house.

She casually draped a silk robe over her shoulders, tied it only with a belt, and walked out lazily.

Leaning against the door of the study, Zhiyan looked at Qiu Tu, who was writing documents at his desk, with eyes as clear as water.

Perhaps due to the nourishment she received overnight, Heavenly King Zhiyan's cheeks were slightly flushed, like peach blossoms in full bloom in spring, her eyes brimming with charm and allure.

Since there were no outsiders in the backyard, she wore only a loose nightgown. Her fair, slender legs were faintly visible beneath the nightgown, and her slender waist was so delicate that it could be encircled with one hand. The front of the nightgown was half-open, revealing a deep cleavage and a glimpse of snow-white skin.

After staring at Qiu Tu for two seconds, Heavenly King Zhiyan walked over with her graceful figure and gently hooked her arm around Qiu Tu's neck.

Qiu Tu looked up and saw the beautiful scenery through the pajamas.

He paused for a moment, then reflexively raised his hand, "I'm busy right now, I can't eat right now, thank you."

Upon hearing this, Heavenly King Zhiyan was taken aback for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

She lay on Qiu Tu's body, her heavy, soft body seemingly giving him a massage, or perhaps seducing him.

Her eyes crinkled into crescents, and she couldn't stop smiling. "You're so naughty. Even if you want to eat it, I won't let you."
