Zhao Ji was frantically improving her skills; Qing Lan was slacking off; Xiao Yuan Yao was blankly disassembling a mahjong set; and Zhu Wu was showing off her breakfast with a "kukuku" sound...
Even after turning into a snake, this goddaughter was still incredibly gluttonous.
Qiu Tu greeted the four women, then asked curiously, "Where's Yaoqin?"
Hearing his words, Qinglan, who was lying on the sofa looking sluggish, replied, "Sister Yaoqin went out to gather information early this morning."
She said that the two major camps are now at war, and the situation is changing rapidly, so it is necessary to determine the situation at all times.
At this point, Qinglan paused for a moment, then thought for a second and said, "However... judging by the time, she should be back soon."
Hearing Qinglan's words, Qiu Tu nodded slightly, then sat down at the dining table to eat something.
Just then, a knocking sound came from outside the door.
Upon hearing the voice, Qinglan yawned and said, "It must be Sister Yaoqin who's back."
After she finished speaking, she looked around and found that... everyone was busy with their own things, and only she was idle.
So she could only slowly get off the sofa, walk to the door, and lazily open it.
As soon as the door opened, she froze.
Because the person standing outside the door wasn't Yaoqin, but a girl who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old.
The girl had a pair of bright, clear almond-shaped eyes. She wore a well-tailored white sundress, and her skin had a pearly glow, making her look youthful and lively.
Even as a woman, Qinglan had to admit that the girl before her was the kind of "white moonlight" type that captivated all men. She was enough to stir the heart of any man.
Thinking this, she looked at the girl and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Hearing Qinglan's question, the girl smiled slightly, her eyes crinkling, and said sweetly, "Hello, little sister, I'm here to find Brother Qiu Tu."
"Brother Qiu Tu?" Hearing the girl's ambiguous address, Qing Lan turned to look at Qiu Tu and said, "Boss, it's for you."
After she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that before Qiu Tu could react, Zhao Ji, who was sitting cross-legged on the bay window cultivating, slowly opened her eyes. Her deep, cold eyes quietly gazed at the girl in the doorway...

I had some things to do today, and I didn't finish writing until 8 a.m. So I'll update this for now and resume updates tomorrow.
Chapter 746 Is Zhao Ji Jealous? (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Zehime has always possessed a magical power.
Even though Qiu Tu has gradually become the core of the team, Zhao Ji is still the focus of everyone's attention because of her personality, talent, and combat power.
Even though she was just sitting there, her every word and action still attracted everyone's attention.
So, when they noticed that her behavior was a bit unusual, the people present couldn't help but turn their attention to her.
When the women saw Zhao Ji's somewhat aloof and solemn gaze, they couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Although Zhao Ji usually acts like a block of ice, she is actually quite peaceful in her attitude towards most people.
To sum it up in a very simple way: Zeki looked down on everyone equally.
Because she looked down on most people, she didn't care about them either.
In the entire family, apart from Qiu Tu, the only person who holds a place in her heart and whose requests she would consider is Qing Lan, whose talent level is as high as 90.
So, when they suddenly saw that Zhao Ji was hostile towards someone, the women all looked curiously at Jasmine at the door.
I wanted to see who this person was that could attract Lady Zhao's attention.
The women in his family were gossiping, and Qiu Tu certainly couldn't just sit there and watch. Jasmine's true colors weren't yet revealed, and Qiu Tu was still collaborating with her.
So Qiu Tu smiled, stood up, and walked over, trying to smooth things over, "Little Jasmine is here?"
"Quickly, come in and do it."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Jasmine did not step into the house.
Instead, a pitiful expression appeared on her innocent face. She glanced at Zhao Ji, lowered her head, and said in a wronged tone, "Brother Qiu Tu... I... I dare not. That sister seems... not to like me."
Upon hearing the girl's words, the women in the room couldn't help but gasp.
Qinglan raised her hands, then took a few steps back, leaving the "stage" to Qiu Tu. She herself tiptoed to the side, picked up a plate of melon seeds, and started cracking them open while watching Qiu Tu, Jasmine, and Zhao Ji.
The little red snake, Zhuwu, flicked its tail, curled up a slice of watermelon, and silently appeared on Qinglan's shoulder, peering out with its snake head, looking on curiously.
Yaoqin, who had returned at some unknown time, picked up Xiaoyuan Yao, who was still dismantling the mahjong set, while the dog sneakily hid to the side.
The four of them seemed to have stumbled upon some juicy gossip, their gazes shifting between Qiu Tu, Mo Li, and Zhao Ji, clearly curious about how things would unfold next.
At this moment, upon hearing Jasmine's words, Zhao Ji, who was sitting upright on the sofa, let out a soft "heh." Her tall and straight figure was like an ancient and unyielding iceberg, exuding an incomparable coldness.
Her eyes fell lightly on Jasmine, without saying a word, yet it seemed as if she had said a lot.
Seeing this, Qiu Tu continued to smooth things over, saying with a smile, "Don't misunderstand, Sister Zhao Ji is just like that."
"She meant no harm."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Jasmine bit her pink lips, lowered her head, glanced cautiously at Zhao Ji, and whispered, "Alright. It seems I misunderstood you, sister."
After saying that, she finally smiled and stepped into the house, standing side by side with Qiu Tu.
She looked up at Qiu Tu and said softly, "Brother, I came here on His Majesty Mu Xin's orders to bring you these things."
After saying that, she took out a card from her pocket and handed it to Qiu Tu with both hands.
This was clearly a space-type cataclysmic artifact, so Qiu Tu naturally accepted it, ready to take a look.
Just then, Jasmine suddenly took a step forward towards Qiu Tu, then stood on tiptoe, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, "Brother... this card is a bit special; it's a 'core' left over from after a world was destroyed."
"Once this 'world core' is crafted, it can not only store items, but also life itself."
"It's like a small, independent world. It's incredibly precious."
You absolutely must cherish this.
It has to be said, Jasmine is indeed very good at flirting. When she stands on tiptoe, she makes the lines of her entire body even more fluid.
When she spoke, her cherry-like lips were only a few millimeters away from Qiu Tu's ear.
Qiu Tu could even smell the faint jasmine fragrance on her body and feel the warm breath she exhaled when she spoke.
Qiu Tu even felt the tiny, almost invisible downy hairs on his ears being gently touched by Jasmine's lips. This made him feel ticklish, and his body involuntarily trembled slightly.
At that moment, perhaps Jasmine had gone too far, even seeming to be provoking her, Zhao Ji frowned slightly, and the next second, the water glass on the table shattered with a "crack!"
Water splashed everywhere, landing on the table and the floor.
Qinglan and Yaoqin both let out a soft "wow," exchanged glances, and then excitedly resumed eating melon seeds.
As a result, Jasmine acted as if she hadn't seen the cup shatter. After whispering to Qiu Tu, she put her feet down and looked at Qinglan, Yaoqin, and the others who were watching the drama unfold.
Upon seeing Jasmine looking over, the four women quickly dropped their gossipy expressions and adopted serious ones.
But Jasmine seemed completely unconcerned.
She smiled slightly, her eyebrows curved, her dimples shallow, and she looked as pure as a little white flower.
Then she walked up to the four women and said with a slight smile, "Hello, sisters and younger sisters."
"Besides bringing a gift for Brother Qiu Tu, I also brought one for you."
As she spoke, she opened her pocket and took out several beautifully wrapped gifts, which she handed to the four women.
At this point, the differences in the personalities of the women become apparent.
Qinglan and Zhuwu, the two best friends, were stunned for a moment, then their eyes lit up, and they reached out to take it.
Yaoqin glanced at Jasmine with some wariness, then looked at Qiu Tu. After receiving Qiu Tu's approval, she calmly thanked him and accepted the gift.
As for Xiao Yuanyao... she bit Jasmine's hand, not even looking at the gift, and then said sullenly, "Thank you."
Qiu Tu, Qing Lan, Yao Qin, Zhu Wu: ....
However, compared to the speechless four, Jasmine seemed particularly familiar with dealing with the God-King of the "Chaotic Path." So she covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "God-King Yuan Yao, the gift isn't my hand, it's this."
As she spoke, she swept her spiritual energy across the ground, picked up the gift that had fallen to the ground, and handed it to Xiao Yuanyao.
Xiao Yuanyao stared blankly at the gift for a moment, then said "Oh," before letting go of Jasmine's hand and reaching out to pick up the gift.
After dealing with Xiao Yuanyao, Jasmine also walked towards Zhao Ji.
Approaching Zehime, Jasmine said with a smile, "This must be Sister Zehime, right?"
Without waiting for Zhao Ji's reply, she gave a slight bow and greeted her, "Greetings, elder sister."
After greeting her, Jasmine took out another gift and presented it to Zehime with both hands, saying, "Sister, this is your gift."
Faced with Jasmine's attentiveness, Zhao Ji did not respond immediately, but instead watched her quietly.
For a moment, the air seemed to freeze.
The women who had just received their gifts didn't dare to breathe loudly, patiently watching everything unfold before them.
After seven or eight seconds, Zhao Ji slowly extended her hand and said coldly, "Thank you."
After giving the gift, Jasmine's smile became even sweeter.
Instead of striking while the iron was hot, she knew when to stop.
She returned to the doorway and said to Qiu Tu, "Brother, I've delivered the items. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me."
"I'm ready to get in touch with my brother anytime."
After saying that, she politely waved to everyone and then gracefully left Yuan Yao's house.
She arrived suddenly, and she left just as suddenly, giving them barely any time to react.
This left several women who were watching the drama unfold feeling extremely disappointed. Even the gifts they were holding suddenly seemed less appealing.
Qiu Tu ignored the women and looked at Zhao Ji, saying, "Sister Zhao Ji, let's go upstairs and have a chat."
Zhao Ji gave a blank "hmm" and got up to go upstairs first.
Qiu Tu followed closely behind and quickly disappeared at the stairwell.
Seeing the two go upstairs, Qinglan and the others exchanged glances and then began to chirp softly.
Qinglan: "Sister Zhaoji must have been jealous just now, right?"
Zhu Wu munched on a slice of watermelon, saying, "Yeah, yeah. I feel the same way."
The big-breasted goat Yaoqin was a little puzzled, "But why is Zhao Ji only jealous of that girl, not anyone else?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Wu guessed, "Is it because that girl is so teasy?"
She paused for a moment, then asked, "Do you know what 'tea aroma' means?"
Aside from Zhuwu, the other women clearly didn't understand some human terminology, so Zhuwu immediately began explaining...
...
Meanwhile, on the rooftop upstairs.
Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji stood there, watching Jasmine's figure disappear into thin air in the distance, and chatted with serious expressions.
Qiu Tu asked curiously, "How did the test go? Is she really the Witch of Chaos?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ji's expression turned serious.
She thought about it carefully for a moment before speaking, "Not sure. It's a bit like her, but... not quite."
"But... one thing is certain: her strength is definitely extraordinary."
Qiu Tu nodded slightly. Zhao Ji's judgment was consistent with his.
Putting aside Jasmine's relaxed demeanor in front of Qiu Tu and Bai Yi yesterday, just looking at how she faced Zhao Ji and Yao Qin, two god-king level experts, today, it's clear that she wasn't afraid of them at all.
This is absolutely not something that can be faked.
Just then, as Qiu Tu was thinking this, two exclamations suddenly rang out from downstairs.
Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji's conversation was interrupted, and they couldn't help but look towards the stairwell.
Sure enough, a moment later, Qinglan came running up with her two short little legs.
Holding the gift box Jasmine had given her in both hands, she exclaimed in surprise, "Boss, look! It's a God-King level Boundless Divine Crystal!"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji were taken aback. They exchanged a glance, then Qiu Tu looked at Qing Lan's gift box, while Zhao Ji began to unpack her own gift.
A moment later, after Qiu Tu confirmed that Qing Lan's gift box did indeed contain a God-King level "Boundless Divine Crystal", Zhao Ji also opened her own gift box.
