Chapter 741 Qiu Tu: Sister Zhao Ji is the best in the world (Seeking monthly votes)
At that moment, just as Qiu Tu was thinking this...
Suddenly, the phone in his office started ringing.
Qiu Tu admired the two beams of light shooting into the sky for two more seconds before walking back to his desk.
Picking up the phone, Qinglan's excited voice came from the other end, "Boss, you've been promoted!"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu smiled and said, "I know. I already saw it."
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Qing Lan on the other end of the phone was visibly taken aback. Her delicate, beautiful face was filled with surprise. "Boss, you already know that Zhu Wu has successfully advanced?"
This time, it was Qiu Tu's turn to be stunned.
Candle Dancer has also successfully advanced?
He blinked, then quickly realized: This is... a triple celebration?
But... Candle Dance's advancement was way too fast, wasn't it?
It's no wonder Qiu Tu thought that way.
It's important to understand that both Yaoqin and Zhaoji had accumulated resources over many years before unleashing their full potential.
Moreover, both of them only advanced to the first rank.
Yaoqin advanced from a Level 1 God-King to a Level 2 God-King, while Zhaoji advanced from a Mid-Level Celestial God to a High-Level Celestial God. They both only spent the time required for their advancement.
But Zhuwu was different; in just over half a month, she rose from the mid-stage of the seventh rank all the way to the eighth rank.
Moreover, what does it mean to "successfully advance"?
If it were just a matter of advancing from the early stage of the eighth rank to the middle stage, Qiu Tu felt that it was just an ordinary advancement, and Qing Lan wouldn't have called him so excitedly.
Therefore, a guess arose in Qiu Tu's mind: Could it be... that he has reached the peak? The peak of the eighth rank?
This speed isn't just like riding a rocket; it's like riding a nuclear bomb.
'These reincarnated gods are all terrifying, each one more so than the last? And they all seem to have some kind of hidden power?'
'What was the identity of this woman, Zhu Wu, in her past life?'
While inwardly surprised, Qiu Tu calmly said, "Of course I know that Zhu Wu has successfully advanced."
"I've been keeping an eye on you all along."
After saying that, he said, "Alright. Now that you've successfully advanced, come back as soon as possible. Let's discuss it tonight and then proceed with the next step of the plan."
After hanging up the phone, Qiu Tu pondered quietly for two seconds before smiling.
Regardless of Zhu Wu's past life identity or why she was so talented.
Her loyalty score of 63 points alone proves that she is currently on Qiu Tu's side.
That's enough in this chaotic world.
Thinking this through, Qiu Tu stopped pondering and got up to go greet Zhao Ji and Yao Qin...
.....
The underground palace of Lady So-hime in the East City area.
The bronze candlestick flickered in and out of the cracks in the stone, its bright yellow flame licking at the rune-covered stone wall and casting shadows that resembled menacing monsters.
Qiu Tu walked through the narrow corridor and arrived at the secret chamber where Zhao Ji was in seclusion.
Before he could speak, Zhao Ji's cold voice came from the secret chamber, "You've arrived?"
The voice was flat and monotonous, as if devoid of warmth, like a solid block of ice.
Unfortunately, Qiu Tu had clearly melted a lot of this large block of ice.
Therefore, Qiu Tu didn't care about Zhao Ji's cold voice at all, but responded and stepped inside.
The stone door to the secret chamber opened automatically, and Qiu Tu quickly entered the chamber.
Upon entering the secret room, the first thing he saw was Zhao Ji, sitting cross-legged on the bed with her eyes closed.
Even though she was just sitting, her posture remained upright and proud, like a solitary iceberg standing tall, every line exuding unparalleled beauty and coldness.
Upon hearing Qiu Tu enter, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her cold and deep eyes.
Her face, lightly covered by fresh snow, her eyebrows and eyes like a painting, coupled with her noble and aloof temperament, made Zhao Ji undoubtedly the most beautiful woman Qiu Tu had ever seen.
Qiu Tu was momentarily lost in thought, and then... deliberately delayed for two more seconds, as if he was so stunned by Zhao Ji's beauty that he lost his focus.
Seeing this, Zhao Ji's lips subtly curled up slightly, then immediately disappeared as if playing hide-and-seek.
This woman might also have a bit of a proud and aloof side, so even though she was happy inside, she still said in a cold tone, "That's very rude of you."
Upon hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu pretended to snap out of a daze, then looked at Zhao Ji with admiration, showering her with compliments.
"Sister Zhaoji, if strength and beauty were linked, you would definitely be the best in the world."
Qiu Tu praised people very cleverly, and even left Zhao Ji with a perfect response.
As expected, Zhao Ji glanced at him coldly upon hearing this, and then said indifferently, "I am the best in the world without needing to be associated with beauty."
Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu smiled even more broadly. He said, "Of course."
"In that case, Sister Zhaoji will have two titles of 'Number One in the World'."
Zhao Ji clearly enjoyed Qiu Tu's flattery, so she nodded slightly, seemingly pleased.
Having been a goddess in two lifetimes, she was already used to fighting alone and being an enemy of the world because of her background and personality. Apart from a few months of brief time with the "Chaos Witch", she had almost no companions.
This resulted in her having a severe lack of recognition and praise.
In addition, during the months she spent with her master, he took meticulous care of her and praised her gently.
This makes her almost immune to praise. She feels happy just hearing it.
In some ways, she is actually... someone who desperately craves love.
So, after enjoying Qiu Tu's photos, Zhao Ji took the initiative to ask about Qiu Tu, "Have you unified the 'Boundless Sea of Hearts'?"
Qiu Tu never kept his plans a secret from Zhao Ji. So upon hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu stepped forward and said, "We've unified."
After saying that, he plopped down next to Zhao Ji.
Perhaps because Qiu Tu had shamelessly taken her to bed last time, Zhao Ji was quite indifferent this time.
She merely glanced coldly at Qiu Tu's backside before looking away and continuing to ask, "So you're already a peak Celestial God?"
Qiu Tu's smile widened. He braced himself on the bed with both hands and nodded naturally.
Even though Zehime concealed it well, a hint of surprise still flashed across her eyes.
She looked at Qiu Tu deeply, and then couldn't help but recall the past few years she had known him.
Having been a god twice, and having even reached the summit of the "Boundless Heart Sea," she is actually extremely proud of her talent.
This is why she dares to give herself a score of 99 out of 100 for her talent.
However... thinking back to her encounter with Qiu Tu, Qiu Tu was only a newly awakened Cataclysm at that time. She, on the other hand, was already a fifth-tier evil god.
Later, as her strength increased, Qiu Tu's strength also continued to improve.
However, most of the time, Zhao Ji overwhelmingly surpassed Qiu Tu.
'So...when did Qiu Tu surpass me?'
Perhaps because she had always only focused on her own strength, Zhao Ji couldn't quite recall anything for a moment.
However, regardless of the circumstances, this did give her a strong sense of crisis.
Although she is still confident that she is stronger than Qiu Tu, who knows that in a few years, or even a few months, Qiu Tu will completely leave her behind?
'This can't go on... We must improve our strength as soon as possible.'
Thinking this, Zeji's eyes became much sharper.
However... she probably didn't even realize it herself. When she started to see Qiu Tu as a competitor, in a way, she was actually placing Qiu Tu on an equal footing.
This actually provides a basis for the sublimation of emotions.
In male-female relationships, although there are some instances of women being stronger than men, these are relatively rare and usually short-lived.
Women, whether from a historical, environmental, or personality perspective, are not well-suited for downward compatibility.
Therefore, if a woman looks down on you, she at most only sees you as a plaything.
Only when the relationship between the two parties is equal can true feelings truly blossom.
At this moment, Zhao Ji was unaware of this change in herself.
So when she heard that Qiu Tu had advanced to the peak of the Celestial God realm, she simply nodded slightly and commented with two words, "Not bad."
Such an evaluation is already considered top-tier within Zhao Ji's evaluation system.
After giving her evaluation, Zhao Ji couldn't help but ask, "So, how do you plan to advance to God King?"
She said coolly, "Are you really going to the 'Battlefield of the Gods'?"
She paused for a moment, then added, "Or... you can wait for me to return, and I'll bring you ten 'Order Path' celestial beings."
Upon hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Zhao Ji with some surprise.
But... people who appear aloof are actually quite similar to shameless people; they don't show their emotions outwardly, so you can't tell at all.
So, Zhao Ji looked back at him expressionlessly, as if she had said something completely ordinary.
Zhao Ji didn't take it seriously, but Qiu Tu smiled and took a step forward, tentatively saying, "Sister Zhao Ji is really good to me now."
"They're all worried about me and want to help me capture a celestial being to increase my strength."
Zehime: .....
Actually, even after saying those words, Zhao Ji herself felt a little strange. She felt like she had been too good to Qiu Tu.
However, she is not one to go back on her word, so once she said it, she didn't take it back.
Now that she heard Qiu Tu was acting innocent after getting the benefit, she completely ignored him.
At this moment, seeing that Zhao Ji did not refute him, Qiu Tu's smile deepened.
He noticed that Zhao Ji's attitude towards him had become increasingly different lately.
In a while, he'll probably be able to take advantage of the situation and get into bed.
Thinking this through, Qiu Tu didn't press further. Instead, he asked about another topic, "So, Sister Zhao Ji, are you planning to go directly to the 'Battlefield of the Gods' after the 'World Passage' is repaired?"
Zehime answered this question.
She glanced at Qiu Tu, her face as white as a mountain peak covered in fresh snow, exuding a faint air of sternness.
She nodded, then said earnestly, "Now that I'm a high-level Celestial God, staying in the 'Boundless Sea of Hearts' for further advancement is too slow."
"I plan to go to the 'Battlefield of Gods' to increase my strength while devouring the gods of the 'Path of Destruction'."
"Just like I was back then..."
Upon hearing Zhao Ji's words, a thoughtful look appeared in Qiu Tu's eyes...
He pondered for a moment before saying, "Then I suggest we set off together."
"Because the current 'Battlefield of Gods' is likely to be extremely complex, and... it also contains a great deal of opportunity."
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji remained silent for two seconds before finally nodding.
......
After meeting with Zhao Ji and discussing the recent developments with her, Qiu Tu instructed her to stabilize her cultivation level and await his news. He then temporarily bid farewell to Zhao Ji and went to see Yao Qin.
Yaoqin, who had been promoted to the second-level God King, was clearly in high spirits. The first thing she did upon seeing Qiu Tu was to give him a big hug.
She almost suffocated Qiu Tu in her softness.
Clearly, after not advancing for hundreds of years, becoming a second-level god-king had long been Yaoqin's obsession.
Qiu Tu's initiative in helping her get promoted finally allowed her to fulfill this long-held wish.
Therefore, when faced with Qiu Tu's proposal to repair the "World Passage" and then have her oversee the "Boundless Heart Sea," she agreed without any hesitation.
