Then let them offer their loyalty!

After all, only in this way could Qiu Tu avoid the Eastern God King and buy time for Zhao Ji.

As long as Qiu Tu can hold off the Eastern God King and allow Zhao Ji to successfully advance to the peak of the eighth rank and obtain the "Celestial God Rank", then Qiu Tu will once again cling to this powerful figure!

At the same time, just as Qiu Tu was thinking that, the "Crimson Collar" arrived.

Qiu Tu originally intended for the driver to simply drive the car up.

As it turned out, Qiu Tu saw Doris waiting in the middle of the road with a group of high-ranking members of "Crimson Territory" from afar.

Upon seeing this, Qiu Tu felt a slight unease.

I've already been quite proactive this time because I had other motives, but... why does Doris seem to be even more proactive than me?

Could she have some ulterior motive as well?

Thinking this, Qiu Tu did not get out of the car immediately, but instead took advantage of the last stretch of the journey to carefully observe Doris.

It must be said that Doris truly deserves the title of "the most beautiful woman in the four kingdoms." She is indeed the most beautiful woman Qiu Tu has ever seen, and can even be compared to Zhao Ji.

Moreover, compared to the cold and unapproachable temperament of Zeji, she was as alluring as a blazing, fiery rose.

Her face was porcelain white, with a teardrop-shaped beauty mark under her left eye. She wore a dark red dress with a very high slit, which outlined her exquisite and shapely pear-shaped figure that made people's hearts race.

Combined with her long, wavy hair with its molten gold gradient sheen, she shone brightly even in the beautiful night.

'This woman... is dangerous.'

Looking at Doris, who stood in the crowd and was so beautiful she seemed to belong to another dimension, Qiu Tu couldn't help but become more vigilant.

And so, the vehicle quickly arrived in front of Doris and the welcoming crowd.

Sitting in the back seat, Qiu Tu straightened his uniform and said softly, "Stop the car."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's instructions, the driver quickly pulled the car over to the side of the road.

Because he didn't know Doris's background, Qiu Tu didn't bring any trusted confidants with him when he came to "Crimson Territory" this time, only an ordinary follower.

He pushed open the door alone and stepped out of the car. Because he was going to meet this top evil god who ranked among the top two in the "Trial of the Gods", Qiu Tu specially wore a sharp black uniform today.

He was already good-looking, and as his strength increased and his status became more exalted, his demeanor became even more composed and reserved. This made him appear even more handsome in well-fitting clothes.

Therefore, upon seeing him, Doris's amber eyes visibly brightened slightly.

She walked forward with alluring steps, then extended her delicate white hand towards Qiu Tu. "Qiu Tu?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu smiled and extended his hand, shaking hands with Doris. "It's me, Your Highness Doris."

Doris's hands were soft and boneless, and very smooth.

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's admission, Doris's smile became even more alluring. This most beautiful woman in the four kingdoms possessed a captivating charm with every smile and gesture. She was truly a bewitching enchantress.

Perhaps because she was confident in her own charm, Doris didn't resort to any tricks. Instead, she took the initiative to let go of Qiu Tu's hand, then gestured behind her and said, "Let's talk as we walk."

Qiu Tu had already prepared for this tonight's banquet to be a trap. No matter what methods Doris prepared, he would take it one step at a time and counter each move as it came.

So he readily nodded slightly and replied, "Okay."

After speaking, he instructed the driver to return directly to the "Northwest Region". The driver already knew his mission before he came, so after hearing Qiu Tu's instructions, he glanced at Qiu Tu with concern, silently responded, and drove away from "Crimson Territory".

Upon seeing this, a strange smile appeared in Doris's eyes.

As she watched the car drive away, she spoke up, "I heard from my subordinates that Speaker Qiu is extremely kind to those around him."

"Whether it's power or money, they are never stingy. They share credit with everyone and never take credit for themselves."

"More importantly, when danger arises, Speaker Qiu is always the first to rush forward. He then lets those around him evacuate first, while he covers the rear."

"At the time, I thought it was an exaggeration by the people below, or a tactic by Speaker Qiu to win people's hearts."

"But now that I've met him, I realize that I was judging him by my own petty standards."

At this point, Doris looked at Qiu Tu, a flame of interest burning in her amber eyes. She changed the subject, her tone languid and alluring, saying, "It's just...something I didn't expect was that Speaker Qiu actually considers my 'Crimson Territory' a dangerous place, treating it like a den of dragons and tigers."

At this point, she looked at Qiu Tu, blinked slightly, and exuded an alluring charm, "Speaker Qiu, am I really that scary?"

Her voice was sweet and charming, like a kitten gently tickling your heart. Even a seasoned rogue like Qiu Tu almost couldn't resist her at that moment.

Fortunately, Qiu Tu's willpower kicked in at the crucial moment. He forced himself to calm his fluctuating emotions, then looked at Doris with admiration and said,

"Your Highness, I've long heard that you are the 'most beautiful woman in the four kingdoms,' capable of bewitching souls with every smile and gesture. Countless gods have fallen at your feet."

"However, while looking at your photos, although I think you are indeed very beautiful, I also feel that 'beauty' is a very subjective feeling. How can there be such a thing as being the most beautiful in the world?"

"After I finally met you, I realized... that what's even more irresistible than your stunning beauty is your every smile and gesture."

"If I talk to you a little longer, I'm worried I'll fall for you."

"Hehehe~~" Hearing Qiu Tu's frank praise, Doris laughed so hard she almost fell over.

Her figure was already excellent, and her smile immediately drew attention with a "Duang~~Duang~~".

What's even more amazing is that along with her laughter, a faint, pleasant fragrance emanates from her body. The fragrance isn't strong; it's somewhat like lilies—smelly yet dangerous. Just smelling it makes one feel a little hazy, and it's also somewhat addictive.

'My goodness, what kind of demon is this...?'

If Qiu Tu had only guessed before, he was now almost certain: there was something wrong with the woman in front of him. She must have a talent related to "allure".

Moreover, this "talent" is so high that even an eighth-tier Cataclysm cannot be exempt from it.

At this moment, perhaps sensing Qiu Tu's emotions, Doris, like a beautiful snake, moved seductively towards Qiu Tu.

Then, with her eyes narrowed and her gaze hooked, she extended her slender fingers and gently tapped Qiu Tu's chest, her voice languid and alluring as she pressed her advantage.

"Speaker Qiu~~ Has anyone ever told you that you have a sweet tongue? It makes one...want to taste it~~"

As she said this, she lightly licked her small, pointed teeth with the tip of her tongue, exuding a dangerous yet alluring charm.

It was only then that Qiu Tu noticed that although her two rows of teeth were perfectly straight, there was a small fang on the right side.

Just like her: on the surface, she seems harmless, and makes people want to invade and possess her. But in reality, she harbors endless dangers...

Thinking this, Qiu Tu became even more cautious. He even prepared to open the "Order Space" at any time.

However... in order to test Doris, Qiu Tu did not show his wariness. Instead, he deliberately pretended to be captivated and stared at Doris's luscious lips with a drooling gaze.

"Actually, I would also like to taste Your Highness's lips. I think they must be the most delicious thing in the world."

"Hehehe~~" Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Doris couldn't help but laugh again.

However, upon closer inspection, one would notice that although her face was full of smiles, her amber eyes were incredibly clear, clearly indicating that she did not believe Qiu Tu's performance.

And so, the two continued walking, flirting and testing each other. Doris's retainers and guards had already dispersed around them, clearing out all living beings within a few hundred meters of them to create space for them.

And so, Doris led Qiu Tu on a brief tour of the "Crimson Territory," and then took him to a carriage to return to her castle.

Compared to Qiu Tu, who had just made his fortune, Doris was clearly a noblewoman with a deep-rooted background. Her castle was enormous and luxurious, like a small city. She had tens of thousands of servants and guards alone.

It is said that no matter which world Doris sees a "region" she likes, she will dig it up using special means and move it to her castle.

Therefore, you can see the waves of the North Sea, the snow of the South Mountain, the cherry blossoms of the Western Kingdom, and the winter plum blossoms of the Far East from this castle.

Although these areas have been excavated, maintaining and preserving them will require a lot of time and effort.

In addition, Doris also likes to collect all kinds of cute or rare cataclysmic creatures, which is why she has such a large team of servants.

And so, while recalling Doris's information, Qiu Tu followed the car slowly into the castle.

Perhaps because of their conversation on the way, the two got closer, so after getting off the car, Doris invited Qiu Tu to sit in her study.

Qiu Tu knew that Doris was obviously going to talk to him about serious matters, so he readily agreed.

As expected, after arriving at the study, Doris had a servant bring Qiu Tu a cup of hot tea and then spoke first, "Speaker Qiu, I know why you've come to see me tonight..."

Upon hearing Doris's words, Qiu Tu picked up his teacup and, after confirming that his "crisis sense" had not triggered any warnings, took a sip, which served as a way of showing Doris that he trusted her.

Then he smiled and said, "Oh? Then Your Highness, please tell me?"

Doris twirled a strand of hair between her fingers, then said with a seductive look in her eyes, "I guess... Speaker Qiu came to see me this time because he wants my protection, to help you fend off the 'Eastern God King'."

Her voice was very confident, as if she had truly seen through Qiu Tu's thoughts.

This rekindled Qiu Tu's interest in her.

After the other party guessed his purpose, Qiu Tu did not try to explain or pretend.

For a smart person like Doris, concealment and pretense will only make the other party more certain, and... lower the rating.

Therefore, Qiu Tu did not answer Doris's question directly, but instead tentatively asked, "Then... what does Your Highness think?"

Qiu Tu originally thought that, given Doris's personality, she would definitely beat around the bush and not give him an answer, thus waiting for a higher price.

To everyone's surprise, Doris smiled and said, "Of course..."

"They've agreed."

Hearing Doris's words, Qiu Tu did not feel happy. On the contrary, he felt the same way he did when he saw Doris in the car: he was full of vigilance.

This is strange, so strange. This woman's actions seem like a trap.

Perhaps sensing Qiu Tu's mood, Doris chuckled twice with narrowed eyes, then teased, "Speaker Qiu, has anyone ever told you that you are exceptionally cautious?"

After making this simple comment, Doris didn't wait for Qiu Tu's reaction and immediately jumped back to the previous topic.

She said, "As for why I'm willing to help you, it's actually... very simple. I can't stand all the god-kings."

At this point, a hint of disgust flashed across her stunningly beautiful face. "God King...? Heh, they don't even deserve it!"

"A bunch of cowardly opportunists seeking fame and fortune."

Qiu Tu had previously heard Zhao Ji describe the God King as a coward and a fame-seeker. Now, hearing Doris bring it up again, he could no longer suppress his curiosity.

He sat on the sofa, leaned forward, and asked, "Why do you say that the God-King is a cowardly opportunist seeking fame and fortune?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Doris looked at him with her amber eyes and asked curiously, "Didn't the 'reincarnation of a god' beside you discuss these things with you?"

Doris seems to particularly enjoy posing a question without seeking the answer.

After asking the question, she didn't even wait for Qiu Tu's answer before explaining, "There's a reason why I said the God King is a cowardly opportunist who seeks fame and fortune."

She said, "In the 'Origin of the World,' there is actually... no such title as 'God-King' at all."

"This was fabricated by those four hypocrites for their own reputation."

"Actually... they are just stronger gods."

At this point, Doris paused, then corrected herself, "No... they can't really be considered gods anymore."

"Because they betrayed their own 'path'."

Hearing Doris's words, Qiu Tu was genuinely curious. "Betrayed your own path? No longer a god? What does that mean?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's question, Doris leaned back on the sofa, reverting to her languid and alluring demeanor.

Instead of answering directly, she asked in return, "You should know what a god is, right?"

Qiu Tu nodded and then said, "Breaking free from the constraints of a 'region,' one can spread their power into a certain 'domain,' thereby managing that 'domain' in place of the world's origin."

"Therefore, as long as one is in the vicinity of this 'domain,' the gods will be as omnipotent as the earth deities within their own 'regions.'"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's explanation, Doris nodded slightly.

Then she asked, "So you must also know the definition of the 6th to 8th level Earth Deities, right?"

Qiu Tu said, "This area will manage the region in place of the 'World Origin.' Being within this area allows one to reach the peak of their cultivation level and gain various powerful enhancements."

After listening to Qiu Tu's explanation, Doris nodded again.

The red, slit long skirt slid down her smooth thighs, revealing her fair and slender legs.

But she didn't care at all. Instead, she looked at Qiu Tu and said, "What you said is all correct. So... think about it, are those four 'God Kings' more like celestial gods or earth deities?"

Upon hearing Doris's words, Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then his mind raced.

After a moment, his pupils contracted slightly. With Doris's reminder, he finally noticed something amiss that he had been ignoring!

He had previously heard Qinglan explain that the four great divine kingdoms operated through an "overlapping system of fiefdoms".

The four divine kingdoms belong to the four divine kings. The divine kings control those vast territories and then bestow titles upon their subordinates who are at the peak of the eighth rank, great evil gods.

Afterwards, the Great Evil God at the peak of the eighth rank will further distribute fiefdoms downwards, and so on, level by level, until a stable interest group is formed, completely controlling the four divine kingdoms.
