'The Temple really does things on a grand scale...'

Qiu Tu is currently a Level 1 God King. To advance to Level 2 God King, he only needs to subdue 10 Celestial Gods. Therefore, 15 Celestial Gods are enough for him to advance to Level 1.5.

'She's about to surpass Zehime again.'

'If he keeps surpassing her like this, I feel like I'll eventually overtake her.'

At that moment, just as Qiu Tu was having these wild thoughts...

Suddenly, a familiar countdown rang in his ears: "Three."

Hearing the voice, Qiu Tu wasn't surprised. He smiled and looked in the direction from which the voice came.

Then he saw Zehime and that mysterious Jasmine standing not far away, watching him...

Chapter 764 Zhao Ji and the Little Green Tea (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Upon seeing Zhao Ji and Jasmine, Qiu Tu's eyes lit up.

Zhao Ji was the most beautiful and elegant woman Qiu Tu had ever seen.

Standing there, she was like a proud, solitary iceberg, radiating an indescribable beauty and coldness. There was an indescribable aloofness and nobility about her.

Jasmine, on the other hand, was the complete opposite. She was like an elf who had fallen to earth, with a small and delicate face, beautiful eyebrows and eyes, long and thick eyelashes, and a pair of pure yet mischievous almond-shaped eyes.

The two women had completely different temperaments, and one was tall and the other short, creating a harmonious and complementary relationship.

So at first glance, Qiu Tu felt a sense of pleasure.

Qiu Tu completely ignored Zhao Ji's warning.

As their relationship improved and their actual combat abilities became closer, Zhao Ji's verbal threats gradually lost their effectiveness on Qiu Tu.

Moreover, over the years that Qiu Tu had been in contact with Zhao Ji, he also noticed that Zhao Ji seemed to have grown increasingly fond of him.

The two may only need one opportunity to completely come together.

Therefore, Qiu Tu completely ignored Zhao Ji's threat. He smiled and greeted Zhao Ji, "Sister Zhao Ji, how many days have you been here?"

As expected, Qiu Tu didn't continue the topic, and Zhao Ji didn't press the issue further.

She gave Qiu Tu a cold look, then said, "I came after you sent me the message."

"Then I contacted Qinglan, and she went to the Temple of Order for approval. After showing me the token you had prepared in advance, they finally allowed me in."

Qiu Tu nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Before leaving the "Kingdom of the God of Wine", Qiu Tu had asked Qing'e for a token to facilitate Zhao Ji's reunion.

It turns out that Qiu Tu planned to have Zhao Ji accompany him on his "delay mission".

However, things didn't go as planned. Zhao Ji was suspected of murdering the "Destroyer Tyrant's" daughter. To avoid any accidents in the next few days, Qiu Tu sent a message to Zhao Ji after she successfully advanced to God King, informing her of the situation and telling her to go to the "Temple" to hide.

This explains why Zeki Hikyuu returned to the "Dionysus Kingdom" first, and then came together with Jasmine.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu smiled and said, "I feel relieved now that Sister Zhao Ji has arrived. This way, I'll have someone to help me for the next while."

As he spoke, Qiu Tu walked over to Zhao Ji and Jasmine.

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji gave a cool "hmm" in response.

Qiu Tu knew Zhao Ji's cold exterior but warm interior, so he didn't pay much attention and prepared to explain his arrangements.

Just then, Jasmine, who had been by Zehime's side, suddenly spoke up.

She looked up at Qiu Tu with her big, watery almond-shaped eyes and then asked, "Brother Qiu Tu, have you encountered something or are you facing difficulties?"

"If Sister Zhaoji doesn't want to help you, someone else can."

"She won't refuse her brother."

As she spoke, she gestured with her little arms and legs, as if to prove that she was also very capable.

Upon hearing Jasmine's witty remarks, Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji both paused for a moment.

Zhao Ji slowly turned her head, her dark eyes as deep as a cold pool in an abyss, radiating a dangerous light.

Qiu Tu also looked at Jasmine, then his mind raced.

After a moment, he gave Zhao Ji a look, then smiled and said, "It's great that Jasmine is willing to help me."

"This makes me feel much more confident."

After saying that, Qiu Tu looked at Zhao Ji and said, "You agree, right, Sister Zhao Ji?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's hint, Zhao Ji withdrew her cold gaze and gave a curt "hmm" as a response.

Then, Jasmine spoke again.

She smiled sweetly, revealing two dimples on her cheeks, and said, "I would be very happy if I could help my brother even in the smallest way."

"So please give me your orders, brother."

At this point, Jasmine seemed to remember something, looked up at Zhao Ji, and then said pitifully, "But... won't sister be angry if I help brother?"

Zehime: .....

Qiu Tu glanced at Zhao Ji, who remained expressionless. He quickly smiled and smoothed things over, saying, "Don't worry. Sister Zhao Ji is always very magnanimous."

After saying that, Qiu Tu glanced at Zhao Ji again.

Although Zhao Ji's expression remained unchanged, still that icy demeanor, Qiu Tu sensed that Zhao Ji was in a very irritable mood, perhaps because her perception had become more acute after advancing to the God-King level.

Qiu Tu was so agitated that he worried Zhao Ji's sword was itching to be used, and wanted to test it on Jasmine...

Clearly, this was all caused by jasmine.

However... Qiu Tu did not stop Jasmine from practicing the tea ceremony.

The reason is simple. The 98th of 108 ways to enhance a relationship in "The Emotional Handbook" states: Introducing a competitor appropriately can quickly shorten the distance between you and a woman.

Although women may have a relatively gentle personality, they can still be competitive.

In addition, women have a weaker sense of agency, and their self-perception and perception of men are mostly determined through social interactions and comparisons with those around them.

Therefore, when other women are pursuing you, your "value" in their eyes will increase significantly.

If the woman pursuing you is hostile to the woman who is interested in you, it will further stimulate her competitive spirit, turning her from passive to active.

Therefore, for Qiu Tu, although Jasmine's teasing remarks to Zhao Ji might displease Zhao Ji, they might also become a catalyst for his relationship with Zhao Ji.

Don't forget, Qiu Tu was just looking for a way to change his relationship with Zhao Ji, and now this opportunity has come knocking on his door.

Of course, besides Qiu Tu wanting to further develop his relationship with Zhao Ji, there was another important reason why he didn't stop Jasmine: Jasmine's identity.

Don't forget, in Qiu Tu's mind, there's already an 80% chance that Jasmine is the "Chaos Witch".

This is a true behemoth; there are only a handful of people in the entire world who can rival her. This alone is enough to demonstrate her power.

Furthermore, judging from various intelligence reports, the "Chaos Witch" is a god-king who leans towards the "evil" camp. Even going along with her could lead to trouble, let alone going against her.

If things go wrong and he gets hammered to death, Qiu Tu will truly be left with nothing but tears.

Thinking this way, Qiu Tu managed to avoid offending either of them and thus managed to win over both women.

Now that Qiu Tu has successfully established himself in the "Temple of Order," the most important thing is to improve his strength and then climb higher within the "Temple of Order."

This is both a way for him to complete the task given to him by the "Chaos Witch" and the white-robed woman, and a way for him to peek into the "supreme" path of this world.

To improve his strength and climb the ranks in the "Temple of Order," Elena pointed out the path for Qiu Tu: take up a post in the "Execution Department" and then take in the 15 gods who were attached to him.

If Qiu Tu takes this step well, he can not only advance to the second-level God King, but also be only half a step away from the third-level God King.

However, thinking about this, Qiu Tu himself felt a little uneasy.

'Can it really be that simple?'

'I hope nothing unexpected happens?'

Having mentally prepared for any eventuality, Qiu Tu became extremely vigilant and then led Zhao Ji and Jasmine towards the "Execution Department"...

......

The Execution Department is one of the most important and elite departments in the Western Branch of the Temple of Order.

After training, the most elite members of the deities who join the "Temple of Order" are assigned to the "Execution Department".

Therefore, the "Execution Department" is also one of the most powerful departments in the entire Western Branch. Whether there is a riot in the "Underground Divine Kingdom" or an invasion from other sources, the "Execution Department" will rush to the front line.

When there are no major incidents, the "Execution Department" also carries out tasks such as "surveillance," "inspection," and "counter-espionage." It wields considerable power.

It is precisely because the Executive Department has extensive authority that it is also the largest department of the God King. Not to mention the God Kings below who do not have official positions, just looking at the upper level, there is one God King in charge and five deputies, plus Qiu Tu, making a total of six.

The large number of high-ranking officials also indicates the complexity of factions within the department.

Therefore, when Qiu Tu came to the "Execution Department", he was on high alert, fearing that he would fall into a trap.

Even so, he almost stumbled as soon as he arrived at the "Execution Department".

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, we have not received any notification of your appointment. Therefore, we cannot allow you to enter the 'Execution Department'."

"After all, you know that the 'Execution Department' is full of classified information. If it were to leak, we simply couldn't afford the consequences."

Hearing the guard's words, Qiu Tu frowned slightly and asked suspiciously, "Didn't you receive any notification of my appointment?"

"You can contact your superior to see if he forgot to pass on the message."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the guard glanced at Qiu Tu expressionlessly, then said with a serious face, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I am currently on duty and cannot leave my post without permission."

"You may have to wait until after I get off work to check it. Or, you can check it yourself."

Qiu Tu narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.

He looked at the guard and then said, "Where is your superior now?"

The guard, head held high and chest puffed out, said earnestly, "The commander is currently in the 'Execution Department'."

Qiu Tu glanced at the palace of the Executive Department behind him and said, "Then let me go in and see your superior."

The guard said expressionlessly, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Your identity has not been verified, and you are not permitted entry to such a confidential area as the 'Execution Department'."

If Qiu Tu had any doubts before, he was now basically certain that the guard in front of him was acting on purpose.

To get into the "Execution Department," you need your superior's permission; but to get your superior's permission, you need to get into the "Execution Department." It's like being stuck in two places at once.

Qiu Tu simply didn't believe that this guard was acting under someone's orders.

However, Qiu Tu has only recently joined the "Temple of Order" and has not yet fully grasped the overall situation of the temple.

Therefore, he did not force his way in or kill the guard to establish his authority.

He took a deep look at the guard in front of him, memorized his image, and then took out a communication device to contact Qing'e.

As Elena's head housekeeper, Qing'e has the power and obligation to coordinate various affairs.

When Elena went into seclusion, Qing'e was her spokesperson.

Qiu Tu is Elena's deputy to the "Execution Department" of the Heavy Stone God King. Now that he is being prevented from taking office, she should come over to handle and understand the situation.

Although this might lead some to look down on Qiu Tu, thinking he lacks the ability to solve problems, isn't it natural to appear weak when you arrive in a place surrounded by wolves?

So, since Qing'e can help him wade through the water to test it, why should he stubbornly try it himself?

With that in mind, Qiu Tu contacted Qing'e.

Sure enough, Qing'e was clearly surprised when she heard that Qiu Tu was stopped at the entrance of the "Execution Department".

She said directly, "Lord Qiu Tu, please be patient, I'll be right there."

She thought for a moment, then added, "There might be some misunderstandings due to inadequate communication."

After discarding her communication artifact, Qing'e arrived at the "Execution Department" in just a few minutes.

As Elena's assistant and a high-ranking member of the Western Branch, Qing'e clearly held considerable prestige throughout the entire "Wine God Kingdom".

So when they saw her arrive, the guards immediately became nervous.

Even so, he still hesitated when Qing'e wanted to take Qiu Tu into the "Execution Department".

If Qing'e still doesn't understand the trickery behind this scene, then she wouldn't be Elena's assistant.

So she glared at him and shouted, "What? Even I can't prove His Majesty Qiu Tu's identity?"
