Then let them offer their loyalty!

Lariel paused slightly, then said, "I don't know. Gods' thoughts are constantly changing. No one can know His true purpose tonight."

'Perhaps a huge conspiracy is brewing, or perhaps... it's just a bad mood.'

Although Larilu said there were two possibilities, Qiu Tu still felt that Mu Ye wouldn't do anything pointless, perhaps because he had dealt with Mu Ye several times.

After several encounters with Mu Ye, Qiu Tu felt as if he had punched a mass of darkness.

It's impossible to figure out what Mu Ye is up to.

He always felt that the night was setting up a trap, a very big trap.

And it's definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.

'It's still a matter of insufficient personal strength and intelligence capabilities...'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu frowned slightly.

Whether in Dongye Prefecture or with the Evil God, his intelligence network was still somewhat weak.

'If only there were a way to quickly establish an intelligence system...'

'Furthermore... the Eighth Sanctuary is still too weak. Facing a peak fifth-tier Great Evil God, they have almost no power to fight back.'

'If only there were a force or figure capable of counterbalancing Twilight...'

At that moment, just as Qiu Tu was thinking this...

Suddenly! As if sensing something, he abruptly looked up at the sky again!

Lari, who was sitting in the back row and was invisible, also looked up at the sky!

Just as the two looked up, the previously dark sky suddenly became turbulent, and two enormous, ring-shaped eyes appeared out of thin air in the night!

It coldly surveyed the entire world, like a true god, devoid of any warmth.

The next second, a cold, furious female voice rang in the ears of all the catastrophes, "Lariro, you get over here!"

I'm officially back to 2 chapters and 1 words each! Please vote with your monthly tickets!

Chapter 464 Zhao Ji Returns! (10,000 words, please vote!)

It was already the dead of winter, with the wind biting like knives. The entire East City was still reeling from the disaster, so when a new peak fifth-tier Great Evil God appeared, the atmosphere instantly became heavy and seemed to freeze!

A biting wind swept through, stirring up dust from the ground, accompanied by intermittent wailing sounds from the city, like the whispers of departed souls...

'Sister...older sister?!'

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Lari Luo, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, trembled all over. She stared in disbelief at the pair of emotionless eyes in the dark sky.

Those eyes were as big as lakes, like two black holes, swallowing all the light and warmth around them. The pupils in the middle were ringed like tree rings, exuding endless majesty.

It was none other than... Larilu's older sister, a peak fifth-tier Great Evil God, who was heading to the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Area"—Zhao Ji!

Upon seeing those eyes, Qiu Tu's expression changed slightly.

'Why is Zehime back?! Didn't she go to the "Boundless Sea of ​​Hearts - Core Area"?'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu's mind raced.

First, according to the information obtained from the "Yellow Demon" mother and daughter, the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Area" is strictly controlled for entry and exit.

For a Cataclysmic Creature to reach Tier 6, it must travel to the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Area".

If a being reaches level 6 in the "core area", it will be unable to leave the "core area".

So... Zhao Ji has now returned to Dongcheng City. This clearly means she failed to advance to the 6th tier of evil god!

With this in mind, Qiu Tu seemed to have a breakthrough and continued to analyze based on the information he knew.

Based on the information he obtained about Zhao Ji from various sources, Zhao Ji should be a powerful, cold, cruel, but very intelligent great evil god.

She has a greater than 9% chance of advancing to the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Area".

However, she has now returned empty-handed.

This means that something unexpected must have happened.

For example... she encountered a powerful enemy in the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Area" that she could not resist.

For example... she lacked the resources to advance and failed at a crucial moment.

For example... her source of power was disturbed, causing her cultivation level to decline and her advancement to fail.

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but glance at La Riluo beside him.

Furthermore, considering that Zehime's attitude of immediately seeking out Lariel to demand an explanation upon her return.

Qiu Tu had a rough idea: Could it be... that La Riluo forcibly refined Zhao Ji's area, causing her to drop from 9 stars to 8 stars? The decrease in power led to her failure to advance?

Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on Qiu Tu's forehead.

If that's the case, things are getting a bit complicated.

After all, he was the one who started this whole thing.

In her rage, Lady Sohime might not kill Lariel, but she might kill herself instead.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look at La Ri Luo beside him.

Lariel's relationship with her older sister is probably not very good. And she's probably genuinely afraid of her sister.

So when she saw her sister's fury, her body trembled slightly and her lips quivered.

Upon seeing this, Qiu Tu felt a slight stirring in his heart, and then reached out and grasped La Riluo's hand.

Suddenly being touched, Lariluo snapped back to her senses. She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Qiu Tu.

Then... what she saw was Qiu Tu's deep, unwavering gaze.

At the same time, Qiu Tu's voice echoed in her heart, "Your Highness, don't be afraid."

"No matter what happens, I will face it with you."

"If Princess Zhaoji comes to you, just push all the blame onto me."

"You don't need to worry about me. At most, Princess Zhao Ji will kill me. What else can she do to me?"

"I'm not afraid of dying!"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, La Riluo's head was filled with question marks: ? ?

Wait a minute. Why is my sister looking for me? What's her relationship with Qiu Tu?

And... Qiu Tu is going to take all the responsibility? What responsibility?

Although Larilu can be a bit silly at times, she's actually quite smart.

Just now, Zhao Ji suddenly used "Projection Descent" to angrily confront her. She was so preoccupied with her fear that she forgot to think about why her sister was so angry.

Now, reminded by Qiu Tu, La Riluo hesitated for more than ten seconds before suddenly understanding the reason for her sister's outburst.

She looked at Qiu Tu with a bewildered expression and communicated with him using mental energy.

"Did our refining of the 'Eastern City Region' affect my sister's advancement?"

Qiu Tu held her hand and said earnestly, "It's me, not you."

Larilu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but recall what Qiu Tu had said earlier: "Push him down," "At worst, you'll just die..."

In that instant, a warm feeling suddenly welled up in her heart.

From childhood to adulthood, apart from her older sister, no one had ever cared for her or treated her so well.

Later, even his own sister started treating him badly. In the end, only Qiu Tu remained...

Not only did it revive itself, grant it new territory, and restore its strength, but it also made it feel good, even better, and incredibly good...

Larilo couldn't forget the wonderful feeling she had experienced through Ellie's body today!

'No! We can't betray Qiu Tu, we can't let Qiu Tu die!'

'He's dead, where am I supposed to find him... cough cough, go to the Pope!'

Thinking of this, and then of the contract between herself and her sister, knowing that even if she took all the blame, her sister wouldn't kill her, Larilu felt relieved.

It's just a little physical pain!

Hmph! What's so special about that!

With that thought in mind, Lariro made a decision.

She reached out and grasped Qiu Tu's hand, then communicated with him using her mental power, "Qiu Tu, don't worry. I will never betray you."

“My sister would kill you, but she can’t do anything to me. At most, she’ll just beat me or yell at me.”

"So don't worry. I will definitely be able to resolve this matter satisfactorily!"

Perhaps worried that Qiu Tu would continue to persuade her, La Riluo released Qiu Tu's hand without hesitation after speaking, and then turned the world upside down.

The next second, her figure slowly disappeared in front of Qiu Tu.

Watching the evil goddess girl vanish like a phantom, Qiu Tu's eyes were as black as ink, like two deep wells, profound and unfathomable...

The Emotional Handbook [108 Ways to Enhance Relationships] #106: Take Responsibility.

Compared to men's rationality, emotional women are more easily influenced by emotions such as "guilt" and "being moved".

Therefore, when problems arise, don't rush to shirk responsibility.

When you take all the responsibility upon yourself in front of her, and even hers, it will greatly move her, and may even make her take the responsibility herself.

This is a common fraud tactic used by the organization Qiu Tu belonged to in his previous life, and it is frequently used in secondary fraud.

Many victims, after being scammed once, become extremely suspicious of the scammers.

But when the conman tearfully takes all the blame upon himself, including the woman's responsibility, she immediately softens and is swayed by her emotions.

In reality, many scumbags and gamblers are well-versed in this trick, deceiving women completely.

Of course... Qiu Tu is neither a scumbag nor a gambling addict. The reason he used this tactic against La Riluo was simply to save his life and increase his strategic depth.

Larilu has now been almost "tamed" by him, and he will never give up on her.

Therefore, he would use those few hours he saved to devise a way to deal with Lady Zhao...

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look up at the dark sky again.

Perhaps Larilu went to find Zhaoji, because the two cold yet intense flames high in the sky slowly died down, as if nothing had ever happened...

However, the consecutive arrival of two peak-level fifth-tier evil gods still weighed heavily on the hearts of all the city's cataclysmic inhabitants...

Fortunately, the world is fair.

Ordinary people do not possess the power of catastrophe, so even though many areas of the entire East City are currently suffering from disaster, and even though the two great evil gods have caused strange phenomena in the sky, they cannot see anything.

From their perspective, all they saw was a sudden, muffled clap of thunder that struck down many buildings.

This saved Qiu Tu and Liu Xiongyuan a lot of effort in handling the aftermath.

All they needed to do was organize agents to patrol the streets to prevent thieves from taking advantage of the chaos, and organize soldiers to rescue disaster victims and set up temporary shelters.

Having spent so many years working his way up from the bottom, Liu Xiongyuan was very familiar with these things, so it didn't take long for the entire Dongcheng City to become well-organized.

Later, Li Tingdong also joined the rescue efforts. His tasks were even more complicated and meticulous.

Not only do they need to organize various departments to inspect and survey the disaster situation and determine the economic losses, but they also need to distribute disaster relief supplies and provide urban subsidies.

And just like that, the night passed quickly.

Since they were all high-level Cataclysms, none of them were tired or sleepy, just a little fatigued.

Just as everything was settled, Qiu Tu drove back to the state capitol building.

Guan Xiao, who was driving, suddenly spoke up, "Speaker, there's some information I feel you might need to know about."

Upon hearing Guan Xiao's words, Qiu Tu, who was sitting in the back row, hummed in response and looked up at her.

Guan Xiao whispered, "When Dongcheng was attacked by the evil god, the news had already spread to various cities in the state."

“At first I didn’t pay any attention. But just now, I discovered that a rumor has started circulating among the middle and upper management of the New Territories City.”

Qiu Tu asked with a blank expression, "What rumors?"

Guan Xiao said, "Some people are saying that the Great Evil God of Twilight attacked Dongcheng City for a specific purpose."
