Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty!

Chapter 1788 - 724: Zhao Ji's Bestie?

Perhaps because the calculation was simply too complex, it took him a full three minutes before he suddenly raised his head and, with a determined face, said, "Attack!"

His words were resolute and radiated immense confidence, leaving almost no room for doubt.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ji refocused her gaze.

The two had fought side by side for so long that they already had ample trust in each other.

Thus, she didn't even ask for a reason, nor did she require Qiu Tu to explain. She merely nodded coolly and uttered, "Okay."

Witnessing this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile. That smile was so bright it seemed capable of melting everything.

Zhao Ji's deep eyes lingered on Qiu Tu's face for a moment, before she slightly turned her face....

...

Meanwhile.

In the Northern Kingdom. Within the controlled area of Si Yuan Pavilion. A secret chamber.

Yao Qin sat on a chair in the secret chamber, looking down with her cold eyes at the Sixth Rank Deity slumped on the ground before her, and said,

"Is everything you said true? Are you sure you're not deceiving me?"

Her form was naturally large, making her appear much taller than a normal human even while sitting. Shadows covered the Sixth Rank Evil God completely beneath her.

With eyes that were cold and emotionless, even flickering with dangerous red glints, she resembled a Demon God capable of world destruction.

Indeed, as the Divine King of the "Destruction Path," she had indeed destroyed worlds before.

Thus, feeling the terrifying aura on Yao Qin that far surpassed this world, the Sixth Rank Evil God trembled like a leaf.

He had been forcibly abducted by Yao Qin, and had once tried to resist, but a single indifferent glance from Yao Qin crushed all his resistance and resolve.

Therefore, upon hearing Yao Qin's words, he couldn't help but stammer, "Your, Your Highness. Everything I said is really true."

"These are all public matters. If you don't believe me, you can ask others."

"I truly haven't lied."

Hearing the words of the Sixth Rank Evil God, Yao Qin withdrew her gaze indifferently.

Actually, this wasn't the first Evil God she had captured, nor was it the first interrogation she conducted.

After leaving the White Bird Shoal, she flew, captured, and interrogated all along the way, interrogating at least seven or eight Great Evil Gods of ranks five to eight.

And the answers from these Evil Gods were almost identical:

Though Qiu Tu was a bit of a philanderer, indulged in beauty, enjoyed meddling with others' wives, he... had an impeccable reputation for honesty.

Whether facing enemies, friends, or confidants, Qiu Tu always followed through on his word, never breaking his promises.

It was precisely this excellent reputation that allowed Qiu Tu to so easily unify various forces.

Honestly, even before leaving the White Bird Shoal, Yao Qin had some expectations of the outcome of this outing.

After all, she had long learned some of Qiu Tu's exploits from his enemy: the West God King.

Moreover, since Qiu Tu dared to have her investigate, he naturally had confidence.

It was for this reason that Yao Qin chose to trust Qiu Tu and leave the "World Channel."

Now, everything merely confirmed her suspicions.

'In that case..... It wouldn't hurt to cooperate with Qiu Tu.'

Thinking of this, Yao Qin couldn't help but recall the grand promises Qiu Tu painted for her.

Promotion to Second-level Divine King; permission to select and cultivate her own Heavenly Gods; sharing the resources of this world with her.

And all she needed to do was not repair the World Channel and help fend off Star Casting God King's invasion....

The terms were truly fair.

However.... as a sentient being, greed was inevitable.

Yao Qin was no exception.

Especially as a Divine King who had hungered for centuries, her greed was even more voracious.

Though she hadn't thought of completely using up Qiu Tu's side, she also aimed to fight for more benefits for herself.

After all.... currently, not only did she hold the ultimate control over the event; she was also the most powerful being in the entire "Boundless Heart Sea."

One could say, Qiu Tu and his companions' lives were in her hands, and the destiny of the entire world also lay at her whim. Just a treaty this fair couldn't possibly suffice!

She wasn't concerned with those Heavenly Gods involved with Qiu Tu but... should she claim half the territory? Half the resources?

Should the future "Boundless Heart Sea" devour new worlds, ought there be half for her as well?

Indeed.... if possible, she'd even want half of Qiu Tu: she hadn't forgotten Qiu Tu's boastful words just before her: claiming he could match her, fill her.

She genuinely wished to see Qiu Tu's capability.

Her demands weren't high. Sundays belonged to Qiu Tu's other women, while Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays were hers. On Sundays, Qiu Tu could rest or explore.

Thinking thus, slyness filled her eyes.

Now was when she had control over the situation, allowing her to seize the chance to sign some "unequal treaties" with Qiu Tu.

Should Zhao Ji strengthen her power in the coming times, she might lose the opportunity to exploit her position.

'Thankfully, Qiu Tu has a reliable habit of fulfilling promises. This must be heaven aiding me.'

With that thought, Yao Qin returned to awareness. As she flicked her fingers, the Sixth Rank Evil God's body stiffened sharply before slowly slumping onto the ground.

In fact, according to Yao Qin's previous practices, to avoid leaks, those she interrogated were directly eliminated.

But now.... these people might serve under her in the future, so she didn't strike lethally, merely rendering them unconscious.
