Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty! Chapter 1935 - 768: Jasmine: Brother, Is There Something Important About This Late-Night Invitation?
Previously on Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty!...
Tang Feifei's current overall control, along with her strength, has long since changed significantly. Therefore, she can see through Larilo's little maneuvers effortlessly.
So she paused for a moment, looked at Larilo, her tanned face showing little expression, "Does Her Highness Larilo have a different opinion?"
In Qiu Tu's small group, it's not exactly a monolith; there are little cliques of their own.
For example... Tang Feifei, Rain Butterfly, and Guan Xiao, these women who hail from Xinjie City and have known Qiu Tu the longest, have climbed up from the bottom, sharing the best relationships.
Princess Xi, Zhi Yan Heavenly King, and Li Feng are high-level officials from various Sanctuaries, having stayed in high positions for long, sharing more common topics.
Larilo is naturally one with Zhao Ji. They are not humans but Evil Gods, making the other women inevitably more cautious around them.
So, when Larilo's expression changed, Tang Feifei noticed it immediately and posed the question.
Larilo knew well that she didn't fit in with these women, so she didn't bother being polite; instead, she giggled and said, "I also want to go to the 'Ancient Continent'."
Upon hearing her words, the office suddenly fell silent.
Tang Feifei and the women exchanged glances, seemingly a bit hesitant.
Then, Larilo spoke again.
She said, "Don't rush to refuse me yet."
"Let me tell you my reason."
With Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji not by her side to shield her from the wind and rain, she seems to have matured a lot.
She explained methodically, "I know my strength is relatively weak, unable to become a Heavenly God, let alone help Qiu Tu."
"But precisely because my strength is too weak, staying in 'Boundless Heart Sea' does no help to you either."
Tang Feifei, Rain Butterfly, and others: ....
Larilo showed no embarrassment, continuing, "And once I go to 'Ancient Continent', I can meet my sister."
She said seriously, "Ever since my sister and I have been in different worlds, I always feel like my strength is declining."
"I think my sister must feel the same way."
"In a situation where Qiu Tu needs assistance, any increment in my sister's power can substantially aid him."
"And I... may also break through my current power limitations."
At this point, her expression became somewhat mystical, and she said earnestly, "I feel... my opportunity might lie in 'Ancient Continent'."
"It's an intuition given to me by the 'World Origin'."
Tang Feifei, Rain Butterfly: ....
Princess Xi, Zhi Yan Heavenly King: .....
The women present, having held high positions now, are extremely powerful, so even if they had thoughts of their own, they wouldn't show it.
Meanwhile, the only two girls with lower position and power in the office: Yanyan and Shen Lingshuang, started whispering to each other.
Shen Lingshuang blinked cutely and then covered her little mouth with her hand, softly saying to the nearby Yanyan, "Hasn't she been stuck at Peak Sixth Rank because she's too lazy?"
"Ever since Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji left, she's been fooling around eating, drinking, and playing, with no intention of cultivating at all."
Larilo: ....
Even though Shen Lingshuang spoke softly, it easily reached everyone's ears in the quiet meeting room.
Larilo almost choked on her saliva, coughing several times.
The other women were struggling to hold back their laughter, then exchanged glances.
Among everyone, only Tang Feifei's expression remained unchanged.
She quietly pondered for a moment and then agreed to Larilo's proposal, saying, "Since you want to go to the 'Ancient Continent', I will contact Qiu Tu to see what he thinks."
"As long as he does not object, you can go along."
Upon hearing Tang Feifei's words, Larilo almost jumped out in excitement, "Yay! Finally, I can go play with Qiu Tu!"
Witnessing this, Tang Feifei and Rain Butterfly exchanged a glance, both shaking their heads with a touch of bemused helplessness.....
.....
A few hours later. Ancient Continent. Wine God Country.
Qiu Tu was at his residence, using a communication-type Treasure to converse with Qing Lan.
"Larilo wants to come along?"
Upon hearing Qing Lan's report, Qiu Tu furrowed his brow lightly, as if debating the pros and cons of Larilo's arrival.
No doubt, as Larilo herself mentioned, her strength is too weak to offer much if she stays by Qiu Tu's side.
However... compared to her strength, her identity seems to provide considerable assistance to Qiu Tu.
Qiu Tu has not forgotten Larilo is Zhao Ji's clone and an important experiment of the 'Chaos Witch.'
For Larilo, Chaos Witch even stationed Bai Yi, the clone of a Guardian God King, in 'Boundless Heart Sea' for a century, highlighting her attention to Larilo.
With this in mind, a notion took root in Qiu Tu's heart: Since Chaos Witch has such interest in Larilo.
Maybe... he should let Larilo come over, and meet Jasmine? Observe Jasmine's reaction?
Maybe at that point, Jasmine might reveal some clue?
Obviously..... letting Larilo come over also serves Qiu Tu's personal interests.
His relationship with Zhao Ji is inherently close and ambiguously intimate. Yet, no matter how intimate, the gap towards becoming truly united is considerable.
Observing Zhao Ji's current state, Qiu Tu feels it's challenging to find a breakthrough from her personally.
Having Larilo as an aid or breakthrough point might make it easier for Qiu Tu.
Let's not forget Qiu Tu has managed to bring Larilo closer.
Of course, many benefits are considered upon allowing Larilo's arrival, but there are undoubtedly some downsides too.
