Then let them offer their loyalty!

"Compared to taking back power, she wanted to protect Qiu Tu more."

Speaking of this, the God King of the Vast Ocean also mentioned Qiu Tu's recent incident of avoiding all the traitors. He said, "After this incident, I have actually been secretly investigating."

"At first, I suspected that Qiu Tu was able to avoid all the nails because he received guidance from Lady Elena."

"But later, I felt something was wrong."

"Because... actually, when I was arranging the spies, I was worried that Qiu Tu might have a way to investigate the relationship between these people and us. So... I temporarily found a few gods who were relatively distant from us."

“I made some promises to them and received some promises from them.”

"Of course, we all know that the two sides are not familiar with each other and have limited trust. Moreover, there are too many variables in this matter, and no one can guarantee that they will fulfill the other party's promise. So neither of us has paid much attention to it."

"Furthermore, this was originally just a side move, so I initially even forgot about these gods."

"But who knew that when I was checking Qiu Tu's subordinate god-king information a while ago, I suddenly discovered that... those gods were not on his list either."

At this point, the Vast Ocean God King glanced at the Heavy Stone God King and said, "Although Lady Elena is indeed very strong, and has considerable control over the entire 'Western Branch'..."

"But this is a god-king I picked randomly, someone I've never met before."

"How strong, how much free time, and how much importance does Lady Elena have to pay to Qiu Tu, to notice even such trivial matters so clearly for him?"

"However, at that time, although I began to doubt our judgment, I still couldn't explain how Qiu Tu could distinguish these nails if it wasn't Lady Elena who gave him the information."

With that, the God-King of the Vast Ocean released the tuft of goatee from his chin and confidently stated, "Until last night..."

"After considering Elena's actions in helping Qiu Tu consolidate power, I've finally come to a conclusion: perhaps... Qiu Tu himself possesses a 'divine skill' that allows him to distinguish between friend and foe, loyalty and treachery."

"After all..." the Vast Ocean God King looked at the Heavy Stone God King and said, "Your Majesty, don't forget that Qiu Tu is a peerless prodigy who can create a 'Destined Divine Skill' at the level of a second-level God King."

"Although we have never seen a 'divine skill' with such an effect before, nor do we know how such a 'divine skill' works."

"But... just because we can't create doesn't mean Qiu Tu can't create."

Upon hearing the words of the Vast Ocean God King, the Heavy Stone God King's usually calm expression finally turned serious.

He pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded. "That makes sense."

"Your guess is indeed very reasonable."

Seeing that the Heavy Stone God King agreed with his guess, the Vast Ocean God King couldn't help but smile.

However, his smile lasted only a second before he was immediately suppressed by the words of the Heavy Stone God King.

The Heavy Stone God King said sullenly, "But... even if we knew this, what good would it do?"

Upon hearing the words of the Heavy Stone God King, the Vast Ocean God King was taken aback for a moment, then quickly replied, "Of course it will be useful, Your Majesty."

He said, "Now that we have analyzed Lady Elena's purpose, we can naturally deduce what Qiu Tu and Lady Elena are worried about and what they are afraid of."

"And to break the deadlock in a targeted manner."

"Since Lady Elena has chosen to temporarily sideline us, allowing Qiu Tu to take over the 'Execution Department' and carry out the missions of the 'Immortal Triumphs,' then it's to find the traitor within the 'Execution Department' who is secretly colluding with the 'Immortal Tomb.'"

"In this way, Qiu Tu's investigation into the 'Immortal Heavenly Tomb' will not be exposed. And the 'Three Immortal Giants' will be unable to target him."

At this point, the God King of the Vast Ocean smiled slightly and said, "However... now that we have seen through their plan, it is very easy to break it."

"Wouldn't it be easy to solve the problem if we just spread the news that Qiu Tu is investigating the 'Immortal Trio' to the 'Execution Department' through some means?"

Upon hearing the words of the Vast Ocean God King, the Heavy Stone God King: .....

He silently closed his eyes and checked the "defense and early warning array" in his courtyard. After confirming there were no signs of breach, he looked at the Vast Ocean God King and slowly spoke...

.....

at the same time.

While the Heavy Stone God King and the Vast Ocean God King were discussing their plans.

Qiu Tu finally returned to the courtyard where he lived.

He didn't go to Jasmine right away, but went to check on Zhao Ji first.

After confirming that the magic array in which Zhao Ji was in seclusion had not been destroyed and that Zhao Ji's aura was very stable, Qiu Tu walked out after she continued to break through.

As he walked out, he ran into Larilu, who was coming out of the second bedroom.

Perhaps because she has just become a real woman, Larilu seems a little different today.

She was wearing a black dress as usual, but compared to her usual liveliness, she seemed to possess a touch more tranquility and intellect. This added an extra layer of mystery to her already stunning beauty.

It can be said that anyone who knows her well will notice the amazing changes in her if they take a closer look.

This might be because... Qiu Tu broke through her mental barriers, helping her finally achieve unity of knowledge and action, and allowing her to experience the changes caused by the essence of her catastrophic path?

Just then, as Qiu Tu was thinking this, La Ri Luo also saw Qiu Tu.

The moment she saw Qiu Tu, the girl, who had just given herself to him completely, had her big, watery eyes sparkle as if they could speak.

She looked at Qiu Tu and greeted him sweetly. After receiving a warm response from Qiu Tu, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a sly look, and then she asked, "Do you have time tonight? Come to my place for... dinner?"

Upon hearing La Riluo's words, Qiu Tu: ....

Qiu Tu wasn't stupid, nor was he a novice. Was La Riluo inviting him to dinner?

This is clearly inviting yourself in, only to eat yourself, isn't it?

However, it must be said that Qiu Tu was actually quite looking forward to having dinner with La Riluo.

Just as he said before, it's possible that the deities associated with "reproduction pathways" really do have some strange bonuses. Every time Qiu Tu ate with La Riluo, he felt exceptionally different.

This feeling is something Qiu Tu and other women cannot experience.

This is why he didn't stop until the sun was high in the sky that day.

Even these past two days, while Qiu Tu was busy with important matters, he would occasionally think of the wonderful taste of La Ri Luo.

In particular, Qiu Tu had just given Elena a massage last night, only tasting the natural nectar but not the flesh, so Qiu Tu was even more craving it.

However... although Qiu Tu was very tempted, he still had to undergo a tribulation at Jasmine's place today, so he wasn't in the mood for it for the time being.

So, Qiu Tu hesitated for a moment, and finally gave only an ambiguous answer, "I... I'll see when the time comes."

Lariel was visibly disappointed at not receiving a positive response. Her lips trembled, revealing a sad expression.

However, perhaps because she has become Qiu Tu's woman, she has matured a lot in both behavior and thought.

So she didn't say much, but nodded slightly to show that she understood.

But the more she acted this way, the more Qiu Tu felt a pang of heartache. So he gently hugged La Riluo and whispered, "I'll try my best."

"You can wait for me."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, La Riluo's expression seamlessly switched, and she immediately broke into a smile again.

Seeing her childish behavior, Qiu Tu couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.

He gently patted Lariro's head before going to find Jasmine.

Murphy's Law tells us that the more you worry about something happening, the more likely it is to happen.

Qiu Tu worried for two days that Jasmine knew about his relationship with La Riluo, but as soon as he saw Jasmine, he realized that she most likely already knew.

As soon as Qiu Tu entered Jasmine's room, he heard her say in a teasing tone, "Brother~ Do you have time tonight? Would you like to come to my room for dinner?"

"Oh, no, I should be asking... do you want to eat first, or eat me first?"

Although Jasmine said it to Qiu Tu with a smile, Qiu Tu felt a chill run down his spine and his hair stood on end the moment he spoke.

Qiu Tu looked at Jasmine, deciding to play dumb for now. He said, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

Jasmine looked at Qiu Tu with a half-smile, her dark eyes flashing with a cold light. "Brother, you should know that women understand women best."

"Whether it's the change in the eyebrows, the change in the way you walk, or whether there's a hint of flirtation in your eyes, it's all too obvious."

"Besides... since we all live so close together, it's easy to notice if someone doesn't come home at night or goes missing, isn't it?"

"So...brother, please don't treat me like a fool~"

"According to your human proverb, 'Don't do something in secret unless you do it yourself.'"

Qiu Tu: .....

To be honest, Qiu Tu wasn't really moved by Jasmine's series of questions.

Even... I breathed a sigh of relief.

Because this was almost the best outcome Qiu Tu had envisioned for today.

Moreover... he had already figured out how to deal with the current situation.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu imitated La Riluo's earlier behavior, his expression changing completely. He walked over, put his arm around Jasmine's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Jasmine... are you jealous?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Jasmine was taken aback for a moment, and then several question marks involuntarily appeared above her head: ? ?

Perhaps Qiu Tu's behavior was too exaggerated, so for a moment, Jasmine even felt her brain freeze.

Then, she looked up at Qiu Tu as if he were an idiot, and had an urge to reach out and touch Qiu Tu's forehead to see if he had a fever.

I've been so angry about Qiu Tu and La Riluo these past two days.

She'd nurtured this cabbage for so many years, even sending people to care for it for so long—it was almost ripe. But then… without her noticing, Qiu Tu snatched it away!

To be honest, the moment Jasmine discovered this, she felt like killing Qiu Tu.

And now Qiu Tu is actually asking her if she's jealous? He even dared to put his arm around her shoulder?

For a moment, Jasmine even thought that Qiu Tu had gone mad, or was tired of living and was deliberately provoking her.

However, during this time, Jasmine had more and more contact with Qiu Tu and realized that Qiu Tu was not a crazy person.

On the contrary, countless things have proven that Qiu Tu is an extremely thorough person, even one who can be said to have a plan that leaves no stone unturned.

There must be a reason why someone like that suddenly says such strange things.

Thinking this, Jasmine's mind raced, trying to figure out what Qiu Tu was really up to...

---------

Chapter 808 Jasmine: Brother, take me with you~ (Thanks to "Whispering Poems in the Mist" for being the Alliance Leader)

As the queen of the "Chaos Faction," Jasmine is certainly different from ordinary Chaos God-Kings.

At least... she has a fairly bright mind.

Therefore, upon hearing Qiu Tu's unusual words and seeing his strange actions, her brain raced.

A moment later, a look of realization flashed in her eyes, and she suddenly guessed Qiu Tu's intentions.

To put it bluntly, Qiu Tu's meaning is very clear:

Although you are the Witch of Chaos, I know you are the Witch of Chaos, and you know that I know you are the Witch of Chaos.

But! This is the territory of the "Temple of Order," and we can't reveal our identities here. So... I can only play along and can't give you any answers.

And... don't ask me for any answers. Otherwise, things will get very troublesome if the "Order Gods" find out.

To be honest, Jasmine knew Qiu Tu was always shameless. But... she never expected him to be this shameless.

Qiu Tu has taken his bureaucratic skills, the art of "delaying," to the extreme.

In officialdom and the workplace, when faced with something you don't want to do, there's no need to refuse directly; procrastination is also a good approach.

Delaying doesn't mean they don't want to solve the problem; it just means they want to wait a while before addressing it. Therefore, it's difficult for others to find fault with them.

Qiu Tu is now pretending not to know Jasmine's identity, clearly trying to stall the matter.

Thinking this, Jasmine couldn't help but look up at Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu was looking down at her, a half-smile on his face.

Seeing Qiu Tu's confident look, Jasmine thought: ....

However, Qiu Tu is not wrong to pretend to be stupid and not recognize Jasmine.

After all, Jasmine really shouldn't reveal her identity now that she's in the "Kingdom of the God of Wine".

Thinking this, Jasmine was furious, but she had no choice but to accept Qiu Tu's pretense of ignorance.

Thinking this, she couldn't help but look at Qiu Tu, then put on a half-smile and said to him, "Brother, I didn't expect you to see through me."

"They really are jealous..."

As she spoke, Jasmine put on her usual manipulative act, leaning against Qiu Tu's chest, pouting, and pretending to be weak and helpless.
