Then let them offer their loyalty!

.....

With Elena covering for her, Zeki's advancement proceeded without any further incident.

The Lord of the World, being the will of the world, can alter the phenomena of heaven and earth in a way that is impossible for other lower-level god-kings to detect.

Therefore, when the senior executives of the "West Branch" noticed something was wrong and came to check, they found nothing unusual.

The entire scene, from the atmosphere to the unusual phenomena, seemed to indicate a failed advancement.

So, after checking it over, they all stopped caring.

Above the God-King level, there is a threshold at each level.

Failure to advance is not unusual. It is normal for a God-King to be stuck in a certain realm for decades or even centuries, failing to advance multiple times for various reasons.

The reason everyone was curious and came to investigate was simply because Zhao Ji's advancement aura was too strange.

Now that nothing seems amiss, we're not concerned about it anymore.

However, because of this incident, they did remember that Qiu Tu had a "Destruction Path" God-King with great potential: Zhao Ji.

at the same time.

While the various factions in the "Western Branch" shifted their attention away from Zehime's advancement.

Qiu Tu's courtyard.

The door was slowly pushed open from the inside, and Zhao Ji, with her refined aura and like an iceberg, slowly walked out of the room.

Perhaps because she had just advanced in several rounds, she exuded an aura that seemed capable of destroying the entire world, radiating an incomparable coldness, and her eyes were as icy as a frozen pool.

Upon seeing Zhao Ji emerge from the house, Qiu Tu, who was busy concealing her presence, immediately smiled.

He quickly put away the "Order Space" and flew straight towards Zhao Ji.

Arriving in front of Zhao Ji, Qiu Tu landed and said with a joyful expression, "Sister Zhao Ji, you successfully advanced?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji looked up at him, but whether it was her imagination or not, she felt that his gaze was somewhat off-target.

Then she looked away, nodded slightly, and gave a soft "hmm" in response.

Qiu Tu ignored Zhao Ji's slightly cold attitude and tentatively asked, "This time... you must have advanced more than just one level, right?"

Given the current relationship between Zhao Ji and Qiu Tu, there was nothing to hide. So Zhao Ji nodded again and said succinctly, "I am now a Level 4 God King."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu's eyes lit up slightly, and he habitually began to shower her with compliments, "As expected of my Sister Zhao Ji. She's already a Level 4 God King in just a few days."

"If I gave you two more days, I reckon you could break through to level five very quickly and then try to become a high-level God King!"

"At that time, won't we be able to roam freely throughout the entire 'Ancient World'?"

Zhao Ji glanced at Qiu Tu coldly, but didn't say anything: ....

Qiu Tu was a very thoughtful person. He had just sensed that Zhao Ji seemed a little different after she came out of seclusion, but he didn't think much of it.

It was just assumed that since Zhao Ji had been breaking through for several days in a row, she might not have recovered yet. Or perhaps she was affected by the "pathway" or the "origin of the world".

But... we've been chatting for two or three minutes already, and given Zhao Ji's talent, she shouldn't still be so lukewarm.

Furthermore... Qiu Tu noticed a detail: when Zhao Ji looked at him, her gaze was always slightly to his right, and their eyes never met...

Right side...?

Thinking this, Qiu Tu seemed to realize something, and then slowly turned his head, following Zhao Ji's gaze to his right.

Then... he saw that Larilu was still being carried on his shoulder.

Just now, because Zhao Ji's advancement aura erupted too suddenly, Qiu Tu didn't even have 0.1 seconds to spare before he immediately activated "Order Space" to cover Zhao Ji's aura.

As a result, he completely forgot about Lariro, who was still on his shoulder, ready to be executed!

As for La Riluo, she was probably being carried around by Qiu Tu and flying around. Seeing Qiu Tu busy with important matters, she didn't dare to move or say a word.

And so...this bizarre situation has arisen: Zhao Ji had just emerged from seclusion when she saw Qiu Tu carrying her younger sister to her...

At this moment, seeing Qiu Tu looking over and then seeing her sister's scrutinizing gaze, La Ri Luo, who was perched on Qiu Tu's shoulder, finally dared to speak.

She shrank back guiltily, then waved at Zhao Ji, "Hi, sister~~ What a coincidence~~"

Zehime: .....

Chapter 814 Zhao Ji: I hope I don't fall for Qiu Tu? (Seeking monthly votes)

Upon hearing Lariluo's words and seeing Zhao Ji's icy expression, Qiu Tu quickly put Lariluo down from his carrying pole.

Then he quickly said, "Sister Zhaoji, let me explain."

La Riluo, seeing that Qiu Tu had "left her behind," crossed her arms, rolled her eyes, and pouted unhappily.

Having been by Qiu Tu's side for so many years, she knew that although Qiu Tu was power-hungry and lustful, he was actually incredibly rational.

If you want to stay by Qiu Tu's side, you can't interfere with his important business.

Qiu Tu's real business was clearly Zhao Ji.

So although she was unhappy, she didn't do anything about it.

However, to be honest, she didn't think Zhao Ji would listen to Qiu Tu's explanation.

She had been by her sister's side ever since she could remember. She knew that her sister was of noble character, intolerant of injustice, and had a domineering style.

Although her older sister has developed some feelings for Qiu Tu, the more she likes him, the more it means that her sister doesn't want other women around Qiu Tu, especially herself.

Even... perhaps because they are twin sisters, her older sister could accept Qiu Tu having other women around her, but she couldn't accept her.

Larilu had often suspected that Zhao Ji's placement of the restriction on herself wasn't simply for her own protection, but also for Qiu Tu's sake...

Moreover... you should know that advancing to the next level or exiting a level is not something that happens in an instant.

Therefore, the fact that Zhao Ji just emerged from seclusion doesn't mean she just regained her senses. It's very likely that her sister overheard her conversation with Qiu Tu and Zhiyan and her daughter.

Therefore, it is very likely that her older sister knew that she had taken advantage of Qiu Tu's seclusion and gotten ahead of him.

In that case, her own sister would find it even more unacceptable.

To her surprise, after hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji actually slowly shifted her gaze to Qiu Tu's face. Although she didn't say a word, she seemed to be waiting for Qiu Tu to explain.

Upon seeing this scene, La Riluo was startled. Then she peeked at Zhao Ji and then at Qiu Tu.

At this moment, Qiu Tu leaned close to Zhao Ji and whispered a few words to her.

Lari Luo perked up her little ears, wanting to eavesdrop on what Qiu Tu was explaining.

But whether Qiu Tu was communicating telepathically or had simply set up a soundproof array, she couldn't hear anything at all.

All she could see was that her sister's gaze seemed to flicker slightly when she heard Qiu Tu's words, and then she glanced at her.

Immediately afterwards, her older sister looked at Qiu Tu again, her lips moving slightly, as if she were also asking telepathically to confirm.

Qiu Tu nodded slightly, his eyes resolute.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Ji softly hummed in agreement.

Suddenly hearing Zhao Ji's voice, La Ri Luo quickly looked at the two of them.

Then she saw her stunningly beautiful older sister coldly instruct, "Alright, then you can continue."

"I have just advanced, and my realm is still unstable. I need to consolidate it for another night."

After saying that, Zhao Ji glanced at La Ri Luo again indifferently, then turned and went back to her bedroom.

Lari's eyes widened slightly, her expression filled with confusion. "Huh?"

'You're leaving already?'

What did Qiu Tu say to his sister?

Larilu couldn't help but glance at Qiu Tu, who was calmly watching her sister's back, and blinked.

Although she knew long ago that Qiu Tu was good at lying and had been manipulating her sister all these years, she really didn't expect that Qiu Tu could still cover it up even after the two of them were in this situation.

Did her older sister change her ways, or was Qiu Tu just too good at conning people?

Thinking of this, Lariluo's little head turned slightly, and she blinked: Could it be... that her older sister is superstitious because of the restrictions she placed?

But shouldn't Qiu Tu give a reasonable explanation?

Thinking this, Larilu felt even more curious.

So, after Zhao Ji's figure disappeared from the bedroom, La Ri Luo quickly came forward and asked via telepathy, "Qiu Tu, didn't my sister hear what we were saying?"

Hearing Larilu's words, Qiu Tu gave her a strange look and said, "I heard you. What's wrong?"

Larilu, "Huh?"

She asked, somewhat surprised, "Then how did you explain it? She wasn't angry?"

Qiu Tu said nonchalantly, "I didn't explain much. I just told her that we humans have a very exclusive view of love. If you like a girl, you have to like everything about her."

"Including...her sisters and best friends."

Lari Luo: ?

Larilu looked at Qiu Tu in astonishment, almost thinking he had gone mad.

Just then, she saw Qiu Tu's slightly upturned lips and realized that Qiu Tu was playing a trick on her!

She punched Qiu Tu lightly in embarrassment and annoyance, "You lied to me!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu chuckled twice, then grabbed La Riluo's arm, lowered his body, and lifted her up again.

"Oh dear?" La Riluo was surprised that Qiu Tu dared to act so intimately and playfully after Zhao Ji woke up, and she couldn't help but exclaim twice.

But Qiu Tu laughed and said, "Didn't you just say I couldn't do it? Come on! I'll show you whether I can or not!"

With that, Qiu Tu carried La Ri Luo and actually went to the second bedroom.

Larilu was completely dumbfounded by what she saw. She could hardly tell whether Qiu Tu was serious or joking.

Fortunately, once they arrived at the second bedroom, Qiu Tu didn't tease La Ri Luo anymore.

He casually set up a magic circle, then threw Lariluo onto the bed, before transmitting his voice, "Your Highness, you... are too guilty."

"You practically have the things you did to wrong Sister Zhaoji written all over your face."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, La Riluo realized that she had indeed felt a little guilty just now.

She and Qiu Tu had a close relationship before, and even some inappropriate behavior. What's the big deal about hugging and cuddling now?

Thinking this, she couldn't help but feel annoyed. Then she looked at Qiu Tu and asked, "So that's why you acted so indifferent just now? And continued to be affectionate with me?"

Qiu Tu gave a faint "hmm".

Larilu asked again, "So how did you manage to cover it up?"

Qiu Tu gave her a deep look and said, "Does this need to be rounded?"

"Weren't we just joking? If we try to cover up this lie, won't it just make things look weirder?"

La Riluo looked up at Qiu Tu and felt that what Qiu Tu said made a lot of sense.

But... she didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she always felt that this wasn't the truth, and that Qiu Tu was hiding something from her.

Just then, Qiu Tu said, "Alright, stop overthinking it. Take it off."

La Riluo looked at Qiu Tu and exclaimed "Huh?" again.

In just two minutes, La Riluo was shocked by Qiu Tu three times.

But now that Zhao Ji has emerged from seclusion, she dares not do anything with Qiu Tu under Zhao Ji's nose.

Zhao Ji might not kill Qiu Tu, but she might very well kill herself with a single sword stroke.

So she quickly grabbed her collar, burst through the door, and disappeared in a flash.

She decided it was best to lay low for a while; there was something fishy about those two!

Although she didn't know how Qiu Tu had covered it up or how he planned to get himself and his sister to coexist peacefully, she didn't care anymore!

She has her own rhythm.

She still holds Zhao Ji's "lifeline" in her hands, and can transmit the enjoyment she and Qiu Tu have had these past few days to her sister at any time.

When the time comes, I'll take care of the relationship myself. Whatever they're plotting is none of my business!
