Zhao Ji plans to discuss a strategy with Larilo, but finds Jasmine already visiting Larilo. Jasmine reveals that the Destruction Royal Court's Tyrant has sent a team to the Chaotic Western Capital to investigate his daughter's demise, news that surprises Zhao Ji.

At that time, among the seven Heavenly Gods and one Divine King accompanying the "Princess Xingyue," half were killed by Zhao Ji.

And to avoid provoking powerful enemies, Zhao Ji prudently refrained from attacking the girl dressed in splendid attire at the forefront, who was Princess Xingyue.

Who knew, after hearing her description later, Qiu Tu analyzed through various anomalies that the "Princess Xingyue" might have swapped identities with someone else in the entourage, and fell on the spot.

Thus, whether Princess Xingyue died or not, and who killed her, became a mystery and a lingering concern in Zhao Ji's heart.

So now, upon hearing Jasmine mention the Destruction Tyrant and Princess Xingyue, she couldn't help but recall this incident.

At this moment, Jasmine seemed to have anticipated Zhao Ji being affected by this matter, so when she saw Zhao Ji silent, she smiled and explained,

"I learned from my brother about contacting Muxin Divine King for 'exchange of captives,' and inadvertently heard about it from Muxin Divine King."

"If Sister Zhaoji is interested, you might want to go to the 'Chaotic Western Capital' to inquire."

"I heard that after the Destruction Tyrant contacted Muxin Divine King, Muxin Divine King refused the request to handle this matter for the Destruction Tyrant citing the lack of rules in 'Chaotic Western Capital.'"

"However, he agreed to let the Destruction Tyrant send people to 'Chaotic Western Capital' to investigate the matter."

"According to him, 'Chaotic Western Capital' is open to all, so whether the Destruction Tyrant sends people there or not, he doesn't have an opinion."

"Of course...." Jasmine paused at this point and suddenly smiled, saying, "Muxin Divine King also mentioned."

"Precisely because 'Chaotic Western Capital' lacks rules and order, those sent by the Destruction Tyrant must ensure their own safety."

"Muxin Divine King won't personally intervene, but he also won't protect them."

Jasmine's small, delicate face seemingly radiated purity and innocence, with bright, clear almond eyes, but when she spoke, a hint of shrewdness appeared in her gaze.

Zhao Ji clearly understood Jasmine's implication, so her deep eyes grew even darker.

She gave Jasmine a deep look and then opted not to continue the topic, instead discussing Qiu Tu. She opened by asking, "Has Muxin Divine King agreed to the matter of captive exchange?"

Upon hearing Zhao Ji's question, Jasmine smiled slightly, revealing pearl-like teeth, and replied with a grin,

"Of course. With my persuasion, how could Muxin Divine King disagree?"

"So, we just need to wait for Brother Tu to complete his seclusion, and then we can proceed with this matter."

"With this achievement combined with his previous accomplishments, he might even get another promotion."

Saying this, Jasmine gave Zhao Ji a playful wink. It couldn't be clearer: Look… I'm able to provide so much help to Qiu Tu.

Zhao Ji:…..

Zhao Ji was not interested in dealing with this peculiar Chaos God King.

Honestly, sometimes even Zhao Ji couldn't understand why Jasmine went through all this trouble.

As a Chaos Witch, what was she really trying to achieve by flattering Brother Tu?

Was she interested in Qiu Tu as a person? Or was it genuinely to make one see Qiu Tu's true nature?

Either way, it was all rather strange.

Ultimately, Zhao Ji could only attribute everything to the quirky mindsets of God Kings on the "Chaos Path."

Thinking like this, she ceased further conversation with Jasmine but instead reached out to pull Larilo by her side, saying, "Come, I have something to discuss with you."

Without waiting for Larilo's response, Zhao Ji grabbed her and guided her out of the room.

Larilo was pulled stumbling by Qiu Tu, "Hey, hey?" she exclaimed twice but hurriedly followed suit.

Thus, entering the small garden, Zhao Ji casually set up two arrays, ensuring Elina and Jasmine couldn't eavesdrop on the conversation before she looked at Larilo and said, "I need your help."

Upon hearing Zhao Ji's words, Larilo opened her crimson eyes, a bit puzzled as she pointed to herself, "Me?"

She widened her eyes, "Help you?"

She smiled and waved her hand dismissively, saying, "Sister, please don't joke. You are already a Divine King, and I'm just seventh rank."

"How can I possibly assist you?"

Upon hearing Larilo's words, Zhao Ji responded earnestly, "You certainly can help me."

"The two of us are twins, sharing the same origin, with plenty of mysterious synergistic effects."

"Previously, I was too weak, and although I had some ideas, I couldn't test them because of my lack of strength."

"Now that I've ascended to Divine King and need power, are you willing to try assisting me?"

Larilo blinked in response to Zhao Ji's statement.

She did not ponder further and asked, "How am I supposed to help you?"

Upon hearing Larilo's query, Zhao Ji placed her hands on Larilo's shoulders and softly said,

"I need you to lend yourself to me....."

"Lend yourself to you....?" Larilo paused, a question mark etched across her exquisite face, clearly not comprehending Zhao Ji's meaning....

"Exactly." Zhao Ji nodded, eyes cold and clear, "Lend yourself to me....."

.....

Meanwhile.

In the room where Qiu Tu was, Qiu Tu patiently continued his ascension to the second-tier Divine King.

However, possibly because the second-tier Divine King was merely a minor realm and theoretically still belonged to the God King Realm; or maybe... the effects of devouring Heavenly Gods differ from controlling them, overall, he didn't feel much pressure.

He simply sat cross-legged, gazing skyward with open heart, silently observing and understanding the fusion of the "Order Path" upon him.
