Zhao Ji pursued Qiu Tu's cultivation, seeking Destruction Path deities to devour. She followed Princess Xingyue, a "Destruction Royal Court" figure, and her group, devouring ten deities in the ensuing chaos. However, Zhao Ji's power regressed by 300 years, returning her to her peak strength from before the "Heavenly God Cataclysm."

At this moment, Qiu Tu also detected Zhao Ji's somewhat peculiar state.

He couldn't help but tilt his head and glance at Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji quickly wiped away the faint smile from the corner of her mouth and returned to her expressionless manner.

She looked at Qiu Tu casually and said, "What's wrong?"

"I regressed three hundred years in power, did I say something wrong?"

Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu replied, "Sister Zhaoji, you're really beautiful."

As he spoke, a look of infatuation and admiration appeared on Qiu Tu's face.

Perhaps not expecting Qiu Tu's sudden confession, that moment almost made Zhao Ji's composure slip, and her breath caught unsteadily.

Moreover, as this was completely outside Zhao Ji's thinking realm, she suddenly didn't know how to respond.

Should she continue the previous conversation? Or reply to Qiu Tu's words? Or perhaps pretend she didn't hear?

Since she was not good with words, Zhao Ji suddenly felt her thoughts become incredibly chaotic.

At this moment, seeing that his words easily disrupted Zhao Ji's thoughts, Qiu Tu's lips couldn't help curling into a smile.

"Emotional Handbook" [108 Ways to Enhance Relationships] number 5: Answering off-topic.

Due to the influence of traditional education, most men actually don't know how to interact with women.

Even because of the education received from childhood, most men, when facing women, seem more like they are "answering questions."

Whatever the girl talks about, they respond to. Or they follow the plan of what they intend to do, talk about, sticking to the plan.

This can easily diminish one's "sexual attraction."

Thus, when facing women, there's no need to answer every question, nor does everything need to follow the conversation topic.

Many times, this kind of sudden aggressive strike can more easily attract women.

At this moment, as Qiu Tu pondered this, Zhao Ji gradually calmed down.

The reason was simple: her personality was already aloof, so upon realizing she didn't know how to respond, and after the golden period for replying had passed, she simply chose silence to deal with it.

But while she stayed silent and motionless, it didn't mean Qiu Tu would also remain silent and unmoving.

Seeing the effectiveness of the unexpected strike, he naturally wanted to strike while the iron was hot.

Hence, Qiu Tu looked at Zhao Ji, and slowly leaned closer, his eyes meticulously studying Zhao Ji's exquisite face.

The same action, done quickly versus slowly, yields completely different results.

If Qiu Tu's face had approached abruptly, Zhao Ji might not have cared, and might have reflexively wanted to deliver a sword strike to Qiu Tu; but Qiu Tu's slow approach gave Zhao Ji time for thought and hesitation.

For instance... now Zhao Ji is pondering what Qiu Tu intends to do.

Should she stop him? Or wait until he's closer to intervene?

Give him a punch, or give him a sword strike?

Should she wait a bit longer?

This hesitation allowed Qiu Tu to slowly invade Zhao Ji's intimate space.

When Qiu Tu stopped, his face was only half an arm's length away from Zhao Ji's, and they could even feel each other's breath.

At this moment, Qiu Tu spoke.

Looking at Zhao Ji's picturesque face, he softly said, "Sister Zhaoji, in reality... you look really nice when you smile, why don't you smile more often?"

With Qiu Tu's words, at that moment, a blush visibly surfaced on Zhao Ji's face.

But soon after, Zhao Ji realized that Qiu Tu's proximity and words were too forward.

So, with a "swish!", she drew her sword!

However, just 0.1 seconds before she drew her sword, as if anticipating her reaction, Qiu Tu quickly withdrew, returning to a normal distance, then switched back to business,

"Sister Zhaoji, aren't you now practically a Divine King, just waiting for a complete breakthrough?"

Unexpectedly, Qiu Tu could change his face so seamlessly, Zhao Ji's sword was drawn halfway and froze; it was awkward to continue drawing or retracting it.

At this moment, how could Zhao Ji not realize she had been teased by Qiu Tu again.

Thus, her eyes narrowed slightly, preparing to deal with Qiu Tu.

But just then, suddenly... a man's naive-sounding voice came to their ears, "Brother Tu, is this the Saozi you've been talking about all along?"

"Now that you've seen Saozi safe, you should feel relieved, right?"

Hearing that man's words, Zhao Ji and Qiu Tu paused, then looked in the direction of the voice.

There they saw a stout, wide-headed, small-eyed man with a flat nose and no ears appearing before them.

He had a round face, topped with gray-white hair, appearing somewhat simple-minded, yet slightly missing a beat.

Clearly... this is the Deity blocked halfway by Qiu Tu, who led Qiu Tu here to watch the excitement.

Seeing this man, hearing the Deity's words, Zhao Ji's thoughts were completely interrupted. She gave Qiu Tu a look, as if asking who he was.

As Qiu Tu witnessed this, he too looked at the Deity, then couldn't help but ask, "Why did you follow?"

Though the two had met by chance, after arriving here together, Qiu Tu planned to leave, so when squeezing toward the front, they naturally parted ways.

No one knew that the other had continued following and found him.

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's question, the man scratched his back of his head and said, "Weren't we here to watch the excitement together?"

"I definitely have to follow you."
