Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty! Chapter 1999 - 788: Larilo: Sis, Your Happiness Depends on Me (Last 20 Hours of the Lottery)
Previously on Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty!...
Although Zhao Ji keenly detected her sister's state, it was clear that she didn't know exactly what her sister was "shouting" in the depths of her soul.
So, she mistakenly misunderstood her sister's thoughts. Or perhaps... it was actually her own inner thoughts...
Her expression didn't change at all, but in the depths of her soul, she said to Larilo, "Don't worry."
"Just like you want to see Qiu Tu, he must also want to see you."
"But... everything must still prioritize serious matters."
To be honest, these comforting words didn't quite seem like something Zhao Ji would say.
So when Larilo heard Zhao Ji's words, she couldn't help but be a little confused. Immediately, a playful smile appeared on her face, and then she chuckled "hehe."
At this moment, Zhao Ji might have realized she had said too much, so she immediately restrained her expression.
However, she was not the type to explain, so after directly setting up a restraining array for Larilo in the depths of her soul, she pretended as if nothing had happened.
Seeing Zhao Ji's obvious reaction, the corners of Larilo's mouth in the depths of her soul nearly reached behind her ears.
As a loyal fan of her sister and Qiu Tu's pairing, her favorite thing was, of course, to matchmake the two.
For the past few years, she had also taken this as her responsibility.
And now, seeing that there was finally progress, and that her sister was becoming increasingly unable to suppress her feelings, she naturally felt delighted inside.
'Hehe. Sister, oh sister...'
'It seems, your happiness still depends on me!'
If in the past Larilo merely hoped to matchmake Zhao Ji and Qiu Tu, now she had the ability to take concrete actions.
She believed that the initiative had now fallen into her hands.
With just a little maneuvering, the two would completely come together...
As for the waiting time now...
Perhaps it was due to discovering Zhao Ji's little thoughts, Larilo no longer cared.
So, she sat in the depths of her soul, swinging her pristine little feet, humming a song, waiting for the day to return to the "Wine God Country."
However, perhaps because she was alone with too much time to think, which was also quite a mental exercise, Larilo couldn't help but start pondering the purpose of Qiu Tu seeking Zhao Ji.
'To capture the God King of the Immortal Path? And also... a scout of the "Immortal Heavenly Tomb"?' she mused.
'Why does Qiu Tu want to capture the God King of that path?'
'Could it be that the "Order Temple" wants to make a move on the "Immortal Heavenly Tomb"?' she continued wondering.
'But during this time, I've heard the deities in the "Chaotic Western Capital" say that the Heavenly Gods and God Kings of the "Immortal Path" are all a bunch of madmen.'
'Isn't Qiu Tu risking bringing trouble upon himself?' she concluded.
....
Meanwhile. In the Main Hall of the Execution Department at the Wine God Country.
The Heavy Stone God King and the Hanhai God King were also discussing this matter.
Having just experienced defeat two days ago, the Heavy Stone God King's demeanor was more steady and introverted.
His race was inherently connected with the earth, and now, with his demeanor concentrated, he gave off an even more indestructible stone wall feeling.
He sat on the throne, quietly watching the Hanhai God King, then deeply exchanging thoughts, "You assigning the task of infiltrating the 'Immortal Heavenly Tomb' to Qiu Tu was indeed a brilliant move."
"Now he's drawing more and more attention in the 'Execution Department' and even the 'temple - West Branch.'"
"Even if he maintains a very humble and low profile, with so many eyes on him, his every move will inevitably have a significant impact on us."
"So... it's better to send him out on a mission directly."
"After some time passes, and his attention decreases, naturally he will no longer have much impact on us."
Upon hearing the Heavy Stone God King's words, the Hanhai God King chuckled and said, "That is exactly what I was thinking."
"Everyone thinks they are the protagonist of this world, but actually... a new protagonist emerges every so often."
"You've presided over the 'Execution Department' for over a hundred years and have seen countless prodigies who shone briefly at the top."
"But in the end... didn't they all become shooting stars?"
The Hanhai God King's words weren't untrue. Over the years, the Heavy Stone God King had encountered some God Kings challenging his position. Some were guided by others, and some simply had innate talent, but... without exception, none succeeded.
However... the case with Qiu Tu is evidently different.
Even at the second-level God King realm, he possesses a 'Lifebound Divine Skill,' which, as long as he survives, will at least make him a Guardian God King.
So... although he knew the Hanhai God King was comforting him, the Heavy Stone God King still shook his head with a smile, honestly saying, "Qiu Tu is different from other God Kings."
"In the coming centuries, the 'Execution Department' and even the 'West Branch' may very well be led by him."
At this point, the Heavy Stone God King paused, then continued, "I just hope I can advance to a fifth-level God King before he fully matures."
"By then, I wouldn't have to bow and scrape before him."
There was an evident tinge of melancholy in the Heavy Stone God King's words, and the Hanhai God King, as his old partner, couldn't help but empathize after hearing them.
So, he hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Actually... there's no need to be so pessimistic, Your Highness."
"He may not become a Guardian God King after all."
Upon hearing the Hanhai God King's words, the Heavy Stone God King hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand to interrupt, "Alright. Let's not say things that aren't conducive to unity."
