Then let them offer their loyalty!

Later on, Qiu Tu started skating around again, just like last time.

This almost drove Qing'e, who had only had one romantic experience, crazy.

You should know that at that time, Qing'e didn't even know what was happening or why her body was behaving strangely.

She felt as if there was an invisible person constantly doing bad things to her.

Moreover, she didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she felt that those things were familiar, somewhat like what Qiu Tu had done to her.

But... when she turned around to see what was going on, she found that Qiu Tu was ignoring her at all, and was instead focused on giving Elena a massage.

This made her doubt her own sanity several times.

Just when Qing'e was completely at a loss as to what to do next or how to stop it all, something even more unexpected happened:

Elena suddenly vanished from beside the wine pool.

If Qing'e were in a normal state, of course there wouldn't be any problem, but don't forget that at this moment Qing'e's mind is completely blank, and she is completely unable to think.

So, she stumbled, lost her balance, and fell backward.

The invisible man who had been plotting against her seemed to have been caught off guard, and then... in that instant, a head seemed to burst in...

In that instant, Qing'e was so shocked that her face paled. After all, it all seemed too real. It made her wonder if something had really happened between her and someone.

Although the man didn't take advantage of the situation because Elena was still nearby and the posture was wrong, Qing'e kept everything in mind and wanted to figure out what was going on.

So... when she was taking Qiu Tu home, she naturally tested him a bit.

To everyone's surprise, Qiu Tu, who was usually so shrewd and calculating, was completely unable to withstand the test this time and exposed himself immediately.

This led Qing'e to find the culprit behind the whole thing that happened tonight.

Thinking this, Qing'e couldn't help but glance at the rising defensive array again, her face full of embarrassment and annoyance.

Perhaps because tonight was so exciting, the scene kept replaying in her mind.

This made her even angrier.

'I refuse to believe you can hide in seclusion forever!'

'This time it's not like I was clueless back then and asked you to help me improve my skills.'

'Let's see how you explain this!'

Thinking of this, Qing'e glared at Qiu Tu's courtyard with a mixture of shame, anger, and resentment, then turned and walked back.

However, what Qing'e didn't know was...

Just as she was walking back, Qiu Tu, inside the defensive formation, did not immediately go into seclusion to cultivate, but was watching her.

However, compared to his flustered and unwitting reaction when facing her, Qiu Tu, sitting there, exuded an incomparably calm and confident demeanor, as if he were carrying out some kind of scheme...

Everything that happened tonight was actually a bit beyond Qiu Tu's expectations.

Initially, he only wanted to ask Elena about the secrets of "Heavenly Dao" and to find out the true purpose of the "Four Giants of the Temple".

As it turned out, he first encountered Qing'e throwing herself into his arms, and then he thought of the wonderful use of the "order space," so he did two things at once, massaging both Qing'e and Elena at the same time.

Actually, Qiu Tu was already quite satisfied with this.

After all, he knew that this was a sensitive time and he needed to conserve his energy.

But who knew... Elena would react so strongly, immediately withdrawing from the situation. This unexpected turn of events led to a deeper development between Qiu Tu and Qing'e.

To be honest, Qiu Tu was a little stunned when his head was covered. He never expected such a coincidence to happen in the world.

However, Qiu Tu's personality was always such that he considered the possibility of failure before the possibility of victory. So when he found that things had exceeded his expectations, while enjoying the moment, he also began to think about how to deal with this unexpected situation. His fingertips tapped unconsciously on his knees, as if he was calculating the gains and losses of each step, his thoughts jumping back and forth between chaos and clarity.

After all... Qing'e isn't stupid. If it were just touching or rubbing against each other outside, it could be said to be unconscious contact or her own fantasy.

But now that things have gone this far, she'll definitely realize what's going on afterward.

So, Qiu Tu quickly made a decision: he couldn't admit it, but... he could hint at it.

The reason we cannot admit it is that once something is admitted, its nature changes, and there is no room for maneuver.

You know you did it, and the other person can know you did it, but you can't admit that you did it.

The implication is that... according to the 15th of "108 Ways to Enhance Relationships" in "The Emotional Handbook": Hate lasts longer than love, and dislike is more memorable than liking.

So... when your relationship with someone of the opposite sex is stagnant, or when you can't seem to get their attention no matter what you do, doing something that annoys them might have a surprising effect.

Actually, this kind of behavior is not new. Many people have this instinct subconsciously since childhood: for example, deliberately pulling the braids of a girl they like, or bullying a girl they have feelings for.

However... most people don't know the key to this method.

The key to this method is not actually to "make the girl hate you," but to stimulate her "loss aversion" psychology.

What you do shouldn't simply make her feel disgusted or disliked, but rather cause her some small loss.

Only by causing her some minor loss will she feel that she's at a disadvantage if she doesn't get revenge or make amends from you.

Therefore, I will often think of you or try to contact you, wanting to make up for the "loss".

If you simply do things that a girl dislikes without making her want to make amends, she'll only want to get away from you as quickly as possible...

Qiu Tu handled this matter in the same way.

Both he and Qing'e knew it was all an accident. But Qing'e's innocence was indeed damaged.

While Qing'e was unable to find Elena, she felt extremely frustrated.

Qiu Tu deliberately left her ambiguous, giving her an outlet to vent her frustrations and make her hold him accountable. This way, Qing'e would keep thinking about Qiu Tu and want compensation from him.

Qiu Tu is never afraid of being thought about by a woman.

After all, when a woman spends most of her day thinking about you, she'll soon fall in love with you...

Thinking this, Qiu Tu watched Qing'e's figure slowly leave his post, then watched her silhouette sway gently in the night breeze, gradually blending into the darkness. Only when her figure completely disappeared at the end of the corridor did he withdraw his gaze, a hint of a smile appearing in his eyes.

Actually, Qiu Tu wasn't very interested in Qing'e at first, but... after getting to know her, Qiu Tu found this goddess queen to be quite interesting.

Of course, more importantly... Qing'e's position and identity are really too special.

If Qiu Tu can successfully win Qing'e's loyalty, then he will have planted the strongest nail next to Elena.

Although Elena has never done anything to wrong Qiu Tu so far.

But it must be admitted that Elena is indeed one of the two people Qiu Tu finds most unfathomable. She is like the wine he often drinks, possessing an intoxicating mystery.

Therefore, if Qiu Tu could win over Qing'e and use her as a breakthrough point to understand Elena, figure out what she was doing, and keep an eye on the movements of the four giants, Qiu Tu felt that he would gain more comprehensive intelligence and information.

This will be of great help to Qiu Tu's future plans.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu's gaze became even more determined.

Tonight, although Elena didn't tell Qiu Tu her plan, knowing the true function of "Heavenly Dao" and the true purpose of the four giants was enough for Qiu Tu to have a worthwhile trip.

As for the in-depth exchanges with Qing'e, that was an even more unexpected delight.

Next, Qiu Tu needs to improve his strength as soon as possible so that he can qualify to participate in this turbulent era.

Of course, before going into seclusion, Qiu Tu needed to see one more person...

Thinking this, Qiu Tu glanced again in the direction Qing'e had left. After confirming that Qing'e was really gone, he quietly left his courtyard and went to the courtyard where Jasmine lived.

Upon arriving at Jasmine's courtyard, a faint floral fragrance wafted towards me. Jasmine was wearing a light white sundress and walking barefoot on the grass in the yard. Her long hair was casually draped over her shoulders, shimmering softly in the moonlight.

The sounds of Zhuwu, Lariluo, Qinglan, and Lifeng playing mahjong drifted from inside the house. The crisp clinking of the tiles, accompanied by their occasional excited screams, created a lively atmosphere in the night.

"One of the chickens." "Eat!" A crisp voice rang out.

"Eat!" came another voice, filled with undisguised delight.

"One." "Still eating!"

Perhaps because they all come from the same "Boundless Heart Sea" background and have relatively active and carefree personalities, these four little ones have grown closer and often get together to play.

In contrast, Jasmine, the Chaos God-King, was somewhat unable to fit into the small circle of these four people. In addition, she had many secrets, so she often acted alone.

So, upon seeing Jasmine, Qiu Tu went straight to the point, "Do you have time? Let's chat?"

Perhaps because Qiu Tu was so confident tonight, Jasmine looked up at him for two seconds before grinning and saying in a teasy tone, "Brother invited me, of course I'm free anytime." Her voice was sweet, with a hint of barely perceptible coquettishness.

Having spent so much time with Jasmine, Qiu Tu had long since become immune to her witty and sarcastic remarks.

So he turned and walked outside.

Seeing this, Jasmine smiled innocently, put her hands behind her back, and skipped lightly behind Qiu Tu. Her long dress swayed slightly in the night breeze with her steps, making her look harmless and incredibly innocent.

But Qiu Tu knew that beneath her harmless face lay one of the world's strongest peak experts.

And so, the two walked out of the courtyard one after the other and arrived at the flower garden of the camp. In the night, the garden was filled with a faint fragrance, and the various flowers presented a hazy outline under the moonlight.

As he walked through the clusters of flowers, Qiu Tu spoke seriously, "I have come into contact with what you want me to come into contact with."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Jasmine was taken aback for a moment, and then looked up at Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu glanced at Jasmine and said, "The Way of Heaven. Right?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Jasmine couldn't help but smile sweetly.

When she and Baiyi assigned Qiu Tu the task, they never mentioned the name of the "temple's" secret weapon.

The fact that Qiu Tu now knows the name proves that he has indeed come into contact with, or is in the process of coming into contact with, the "Temple's" secret weapon.

Thinking this, Jasmine couldn't help but want to say something.

But then, Qiu Tu said, "Let's make a deal."

"A deal?" Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Jasmine tilted her head slightly, a smug smile curving her lips, and then gave a pure smile. "Brother is joking."

"I like you so much, brother. Just tell me what you need. There's no need for a transaction." Her voice sounded exceptionally soft, as if she were pleading.

Qiu Tu said, "Then help me kill God King Mitchell."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Jasmine couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle, "No way~"

"He's just an ordinary god, how could he possibly be a match for the four giants of order?"

Qiu Tu: .....

Qiu Tu finally understood why Jasmine always liked to communicate with him under a pseudonym. It turned out it was to make it easier to find excuses.

Thinking this, he didn't bother to continue chatting with Jasmine and directly stated the purpose of his visit.

"I accepted a mission from the 'Four Giants of Order' and earned some resources."

"I can't use all of these resources."

"I know Zhao Ji is with you, so please help me give her the resources."

"With these resources, she should be able to quickly stabilize her realm, or even reach a higher level."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Jasmine was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "That's it?"

"You contacted me just for this? Wasn't it supposed to be a deal?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu looked at her calmly and said, "But didn't you say you didn't need a transaction?"

"Thank you for your help."

After saying that, Qiu Tu turned and left without looking back.

Watching Qiu Tu's dashing figure disappear into the distance, Jasmine was so angry she wanted to slap her thigh.

She had initially thought Qiu Tu wanted her to do something difficult. In these turbulent times, she didn't want to cause any extra trouble, so she used "no transaction needed, just help" as an excuse to fob Qiu Tu off.

In this way, she can directly refuse if Qiu Tu makes any unreasonable demands. And since she's helping for free, Qiu Tu can't find fault with her.

To everyone's surprise, Qiu Tu only made such a simple request.

Just as Jasmine was thinking this, she suddenly paused slightly!

Wait a minute! This "condition" is actually not that simple!

Because Qiu Tu's true intentions were not what they seemed!

Just then, as Jasmine was thinking this, Zeki from the "Chaotic Realm" slowly spoke.
