Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty! Chapter 2026 - 797: Elina: You’re Not as Bold as Qiu Tu (Monthly Ticket Requested)

As for handling the serious matters myself, the safety of Zhao Ji....

Still the same words. This is Elina’s world. Elina has absolute control.

If she wants, she can appear at any location in the "Wine God Country" at will, and can transfer anyone to any location within the Wine God Country.

Thus, Qiu Tu being with Elina is the greatest protection for Zhao Ji—if someone triggers the defense array, Qiu Tu can directly bring Elina over to handle it.

So unless a High Order Divine King or Elina steps in personally, otherwise.... Zhao Ji is absolutely safe.

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu stepped away from the array, going to Elina to report intelligence.

.....

Meanwhile, within the array behind him.

Zhi Yan Heavenly King and Li Feng were sitting in the courtyard, guarding the array for Qiu Tu.

However, while guarding the array, their gazes were quietly exchanging.

It might be true that a mother and daughter are connected at heart, they clearly said nothing, but understood each other’s intent.

’There seems to be traces of a woman.’

’Yes, and Qiu Tu hasn’t come out for a day and night.’

’Who could it be?’

With the exchange, their gaze unconsciously shifted towards the western room of the courtyard, hoping to find more clues.....

.....

Meanwhile.

In the Wine God Country, Divine Palace, rear hall.

Elina was lying sideways on a soft couch over the wine pool in the rear hall, pouring and drinking by herself.

Because there was no outsider around, she was only wearing a light gauze, appearing languid and alluring, her long, white right leg bent, resting on the edge of the divine seat, while the left leg stretched straight into the wine pool below.

While drinking with her head thrown back, she gently stirred the rippling wine pool with her toes.

Accompanied by her stirring, the grape leaf silver bell on her ankle jingled softly, and the image of a drunken mermaid’s shadow seemed to appear in the wine pool.

With the hazy light pink wine mist, the entire rear hall had a feeling of decadent extravagance.

Indeed, this Senior Frontier Official of the "Order Temple" is someone who knows how to enjoy life.

And beside her, was Qing Er Divine King, also dressed in light gauze, concealing just enough.

While massaging Elina’s leg gently in the wine mist, she quietly reported the intelligence to Elina, "Your Grace."

"According to the intelligence from the ’Execution Department’, Zhong Shi and Han Hai, to buy time and reduce the impact of the previous incident, gave the mission of the ’Immortal Heavenly Tomb’ to Qiu Tu."

"Publicly, they said they valued Qiu Tu, which is why they entrusted such an important mission to him, leaving no room for criticism."

Qing Er and Elina have an obviously very good relationship.

After all, as a confidant of a big figure, the most important thing is to speak only objective intelligence and not add one’s subjective judgment. Yet she was not the least bit concerned in adding her subjective judgment.

Elina also did not mind, she nodded gently, her eyes dreamy, responding with a soft "Mm~", then tilted her head back to sip more wine.

Qing Er continued, "However, Qiu Tu isn’t an easy one."

"Perhaps he discovered the trap in the ’Immortal Heavenly Tomb’ mission, but these days he only checks information and hasn’t progressed the action at all."

"Based on reports from below, not to mention implanting spies or gathering intelligence, Qiu Tu hasn’t even met the few deities of the ’Immortal Path’ who have defected to us."

Speaking of this, Qing Er’s fair small hand moved up Elina’s slender leg, continuing to massage her while reminding,

"It’s clear they are placing ’struggle’ above ’serious matters’. It’s a bit out of line."

"If they fail to find clues or obtain useful intelligence, it will still be Your Grace who gets reprimanded from above."

Hearing Qing Er’s faintly unfair words, Elina squinted her eyes and turned to look at her.

Seeing the little girl in gauzy clothes with her head down, focused on massaging, Elina stretched out her delicate hand, sliding it along the chest of the little girl, eventually lifting her chin lightly, and said with a soft chuckle, "Little Qing Er has grown up, knowing to worry about me now."

Perhaps Elina’s earlier action was too suggestive, Qing Er’s cheeks flushed, and her eyes showed slight wavering.

But she still respectfully replied, "You have nurtured Qing Er for so many years, ever generous to her, Qing Er surely worries for you."

Hearing Qing Er’s words, Elina couldn’t help but smile, her eyes filled with satisfaction.

Then her hand rested lightly on Qing Er’s dove-like chest, feeling its texture while saying, "Not wasted years of affection on you, huh."

Suddenly surprising Qing Er, her cheeks flushed redder, she quickly tilted back, and awkwardly said, "Please behave with dignity, my lord."

Seeing Qing Er’s shy look, Elina clicked her tongue and said, "I’ve cared for you so many years, what’s wrong with a touch."

"Humph, you’re not as free as Qiu Tu is."

Yet, despite saying so, Elina refrained from further action, instead continuing to tilt back and drink.

Seeing this, Qing Er adjusted her cicada-wing-thin gauze clothing, then leaned forward again.

Following Elina for years, she’s long understood Elina’s personality completely.

Her lord, though seemingly unrestrained, truly adheres to principles at heart.

Don’t be misled by occasional teasing or taking liberties, but actually.... through these years, she remains abstinent.

This is like how she keeps drinking to intoxication daily, making people think she’s a drunken fool, clueless, uninterested in anything.
