Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty! Chapter 1919 - 764: Zhao Ji and the Little Green Tea
Previously on Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty!...
Seeing Zhao Ji and Jasmine, Qiu Tu couldn't help but brighten up.
Zhao Ji was the most beautiful woman Qiu Tu had ever seen, and her aura was unmatched.
Simply standing there, she resembled a haughty iceberg, exuding an unparalleled beauty and coolness. There was an indescribable chill and nobility about her.
In contrast, Jasmine was the complete opposite. She was like a sprite descended to the mortal realm, with a small and exquisite face, eyebrows and eyes like a painting, long and dense eyelashes, and a pair of dewy, playful eyes.
The two women's temperaments were entirely different, with one tall and one short, creating a complementary harmony.
So, with just one glance, Qiu Tu had a pleasing sensation.
As for Zhao Ji's warning, Qiu Tu was completely indifferent.
As their relationship improved and their true combat power became increasingly similar, Zhao Ji's verbal threats gradually had no effect on Qiu Tu.
Moreover, from his interaction with Zhao Ji over the years, Qiu Tu also found that Zhao Ji seemed to be growing fonder of him.
Perhaps they just needed a catalyst, and they would be together.
Therefore, in the face of Zhao Ji's threat, Qiu Tu did not care; he smiled and greeted Zhao Ji, "Sister Zhaoji, how many days have you been here?"
Sure enough, since Qiu Tu didn't continue the topic, Zhao Ji didn't persist either.
She gave Qiu Tu a cool glance and then said, "I came right after you messaged me."
"Then I reached out to Qing Lan, she went to get approval from the 'Order Temple,' and after presenting the token you prepared in advance, she brought me here."
Qiu Tu nodded slightly upon hearing this.
Long before leaving the "Wine God Country," Qiu Tu had asked Qing Er for a guiding token to facilitate Zhao Ji's meeting.
Initially, Qiu Tu planned to have Zhao Ji accompany him on the "delay mission."
But plans couldn't keep up with change; Zhao Ji was suspected of killing the daughter of the "Destruction Tyrant." To avoid any unexpected events in the following days, Qiu Tu messaged Zhao Ji as soon as she successfully ascended to Divine King, informed her of the situation, and suggested she hide in the "temple."
That's how Zhao Ji ended up returning to the "Wine God Country" before Qiu Tu, and arriving jointly with Jasmine.
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu smiled and said, "Now that Sister Zhaoji is here, I am relieved. I'll have help in the upcoming period."
Saying this, Qiu Tu walked over to Zhao Ji and Jasmine.
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji gave a cool "hmm" in reply.
Knowing Zhao Ji's cold exterior and warm-heartedness, Qiu Tu didn't mind and was about to discuss his plans.
At that moment, Jasmine, who had been standing beside Zhao Ji, suddenly spoke up.
She looked up at Qiu Tu with her dewy eyes and said, "Brother Tu, are you encountering any trouble or difficulty?"
"If Sister Zhaoji doesn't want to help you, I can step in."
"I won't refuse you, Brother."
As she spoke, she gestured playfully with her small arms and legs as if to prove her ability.
Hearing Jasmine's words laden with insinuation, both Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji paused momentarily.
Zhao Ji slowly turned her head, her deep black eyes like icy pools in an abyss, emitting a dangerous aura.
Qiu Tu also looked at Jasmine, his mind racing.
After a moment, he gave Zhao Ji a knowing look and then smiled, saying, "Jasmine willing to help me? That's even better."
"This way, I feel more assured."
After speaking, Qiu Tu looked at Zhao Ji and said, "Right, Sister Zhaoji?"
Catching Qiu Tu's hint, Zhao Ji withdrew her cold gaze and replied with a cool "hmm."
At this moment, Jasmine spoke again.
She gave a sweet smile, revealing two small dimples on her cheeks, and said, "Helping Brother even a little makes me very happy."
"So just feel free to give the orders, Brother."
At this, Jasmine seemed to recall something; she looked up at Zhao Ji with a pitying expression and said, "But… helping Brother, will Sister be upset?"
Zhao Ji: .....
Qiu Tu glanced at the expressionless Zhao Ji, then quickly intervened with a smile, "Don't worry. Sister Zhaoji is always magnanimous."
Saying this, Qiu Tu glanced at Zhao Ji again.
Although Zhao Ji's expression hadn't changed, still maintaining her icy exterior, perhaps due to her recent promotion to Divine King, Qiu Tu sensed her mood was particularly volatile.
Volatile enough that Qiu Tu was worried Zhao Ji's sword was itching to be tested on Jasmine...
Evidently, Jasmine was the cause of it all.
However, Qiu Tu did not stop Jasmine's playful provocations.
The reason was simple. The "Emotional Handbook" [108 Ways to Enhance Feelings] No. 98: Introducing reasonable competition can quickly close the distance between you and a woman.
Even though relatively weak in personality, women also possess a competitive spirit.
Moreover, women's sense of self is generally weaker; their identity is largely determined socially, through comparisons with those around them.
Therefore, when other women pursue you, your "value" in a woman's eyes significantly increases.
And if the woman pursuing you harbors hostility towards the woman interested in you, it can further fuel the competitive spirit, making her transition from passive to active.
So, for Qiu Tu, even though Jasmine's deliberate provocations might annoy Zhao Ji, they might just serve as a catalyst for his and Zhao Ji's relationship.
