Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty! Chapter 1917 - 763: Elina: Hold Me Tight
Previously on Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty!...
"Although he was appointed as my assistant, theoretically, at least 10 Heavenly God Vassals should be assigned to him."
"But... the 'temple' is also free. If all the Heavenly Gods below are unwilling to follow him and heed his orders, then... the temple won't forcibly assign personnel. It will just wait for a new batch of Heavenly Gods to continue asking."
Upon hearing the Heavy Stone God King's words, the White Ape God King's eyes slightly brightened, and his face inadvertently showed a sudden expression.
He opened his mouth and said, "You mean... cut off his promotion path?"
"Make sure to let the Heavenly Gods know ahead of time not to pledge allegiance to him, so that his power gets stuck and he can't get promoted."
Heavy Stone nodded and then said expressionlessly, "Although I can't guarantee that his power will be continuously blocked."
"As he gradually takes root in the 'temple,' he will likely win over some Heavenly Gods and gradually absorb them into his command."
"But as long as we delay his initial development, it's enough."
"This will give us ample time to observe him and discern his identity and stance."
"Although this might displease Lady Elina, but... Lady Elina just activated 'Divine Drunk,' and once she returns, she'll probably go into seclusion to recuperate. She won't have the energy to deal with such trivial matters for a while."
"By the time she emerges, everything will have settled, and even if we're scolded a few times, it won't affect the overall situation."
Despite Heavy Stone's seemingly light words, they were viciously sinister.
Even the Star Casting God King frowned slightly for a few seconds upon hearing, then said, "Won't this make things too ugly?"
"He said, "A God King being promoted can't find a single person willing to follow him."
"A situation like this would be a laughing stock in any division."
"When that time comes, Qiu Tu's prestige will plummet, hitting rock bottom. All the Heavenly Gods will know that Qiu Tu not only lacks foundation and background but has also offended the higher-ups."
"In the future, who would dare to rely on him? He will struggle to get by in the entire 'temple.'"
Saying this, the Star Casting God King suddenly shifted his tone, his expression relaxing, "However... all of this is for the 'temple,' for Lord Mitchell."
"These are precautionary measures we resort to out of necessity. I believe Qiu Tu will understand. Hahaha."
Upon hearing the Star Casting God King's 180-degree turn, the White Ape God King and Heavy Stone God King were momentarily stunned, and then couldn't help but exchange a glance and laugh together.
"Yes. Make Qiu Tu suffer a bit. This is all for the temple...."
.....
Meanwhile, in the distant 'formation.'
Qiu Tu was unaware that he was already being schemed against before officially joining the temple.
At that moment, he was still watching and paying attention to the situation of Mu Xin Divine King and Elina.
Facing the 'Divine Drunk' state of Elina, Baiyi was noticeably wary.
So he slowly stood up, his indifferent eyes turning to Elina, and began his performance, "Elina, for an ordinary God King, you actually activated 'Divine Drunk'?"
"It seems... he must be really important."
Saying this, Baiyi glanced sideways at Qiu Tu, as if scrutinizing Qiu Tu.
Seeing this, Elina nonchalantly hiccuped, and the next moment, with her hiccup, her pupils seemed to be ignited by golden flames, divine fire like liquor crazily spread along her skin's lines, rushing straight to her hair!
In the next instant, she flared up in rage, her hair, accompanied by the blazing golden divine fire, stood upright.
But this was not the end. She raised her right hand, which somehow now held a long, thin Emei Spike.
That Emei Spike gleamed with a cold light, fluttering through her hand like a butterfly dancing gracefully.
Gazing at Baiyi, the Emei Spike in Elina's hand suddenly plunged into her right shoulder!
"Puchi!" With a sound, golden divine blood splattered from her shoulder. Possibly due to the injury, the golden divine fire on her surged violently, and the wound on her shoulder spouted brilliant sparks.
Her entire aura began to rise madly, and the self-inflicted wound healed quickly within seconds.
After finishing all this, Elina was already like an almighty War God, standing outside the formation.
She coldly watched Baiyi and said powerfully, "Today, I must take him away."
Whether it was Elina's determination or her dedication to the acting, witnessing this scene made Baiyi smile.
He gently stepped back, giving way, then spoke, "Elina, you're still so hasty."
"I never said I refused. What's the point of coming up and stabbing yourself several times?"
With that, Baiyi looked at Qiu Tu and said, "Qiu Tu, since Lady Elina personally came to save you. Today, I'll spare your life."
"But from now on, you need to be careful."
"Next time, I won't be so careless, letting you succeed again. So... that's when you'll face your death."
To be honest, Qiu Tu had roughly guessed why Elina was so dedicated.
In a nutshell, two reasons.
The first reason: The war between the 'Order Temple' and the 'Chaos Camp' undoubtedly attracted the attention of various forces.
If Elina doesn't act convincingly, invest some real effort, there's a high chance she won't fool those forces.
Of course, besides this, there's the second reason, which is... Elina actually doesn't fully trust him either.
After all, he and Elina had just met, and he was still an unknown double agent in terms of real affiliations.
