Then let them offer their loyalty!

Thinking this, Shuxia's expression turned cold, and then her aura suddenly erupted like a volcano!

He planned to show Qiu Tu what the difference between eighth-order Great Evil Gods really meant!

The power gained temporarily within the "controlled area" does not equate to true possession!

As a result, just when Shuxia was full of high spirits!

Qiu Tu snapped his fingers.

The next second, the cataclysmic power that had erupted from Shu Xia's body seemed to vanish into thin air!

For a moment, Shuxia was stunned.

He frantically mobilized the cataclysmic power within his body, but to no avail!

He tried to communicate with the "origin of the world" and tried to unleash his "cataclysmic power," but to no avail!

He had cultivated the power of cataclysm for many years, and it had actually "betrayed" him like this!

He was like an ordinary creature, completely powerless to protect himself.

If he hadn't been certain that his physical strength hadn't suffered any damage, he probably would have thought he had returned to several years ago, when the "Tree World" had just been invaded.

'Is this Qiu Tu's ability?'

Before Shu Xia could figure it out, Qiu Tu waved his hand, and the next second, the "Siyuan Pavilion" reinforcements who were on guard outside suddenly trembled, their eyes widened, and then they slowly collapsed.

Clearly, their lives were taken directly by Qiu Tu.

Upon seeing this, Shu Xia's pupils contracted slightly, and she tried to escape in a flash!

However, when he can use the power of cataclysm, he is no match for Qiu Tu. Now that the power of cataclysm within him is forbidden, it is even less likely that he can.

So, with a wave of his hand, Qiu Tu sent Shu Xia flying back to his side!

Qiu Tu didn't hold back and grabbed him, starting to beat him mercilessly!

Although he didn't use any weapons, Qiu Tu is now an eighth-order god. His fist was wrapped in the power of cataclysm, and when he hit Shu Xia, who was forbidden from using the "power of cataclysm," the damage was still considerable.

At first, Shuxia waved her hands in an attempt to defend herself.

But after blocking two or three attacks, he realized that without his ability, he was completely unable to block Qiu Tu's fierce attacks!

He, a powerful evil god at the mid-stage of the eighth rank, was actually brutally beaten by Qiu Tu, a cataclysmic being who had just advanced to the eighth rank?!

Although such beatings may not cause many injuries, they are extremely humiliating.

Especially when someone she liked was being beaten like this, Shuxia felt an overwhelming sense of humiliation.

But he is clearly a ruthless person as well.

Even so, he didn't beg for mercy. He just held his head, curled up, and gritted his teeth to endure it.

Upon seeing this, Qiu Tu's eyes grew serious.

But he didn't show it; instead, he maintained his own rhythm and treated Shuxia as a punching bag.

Finally, just when Shuxia felt that a third of her bones were broken and almost no part of her skin was intact, Manhuang could no longer hold back.

She said to Qiu Tu in a deep voice, "I admit defeat, Qiu Tu."

After saying that, she closed her eyes and said wearily, "I owe you two things."

"I'll do whatever you want me to do."

"Let him go."

Upon hearing Manhuang's words, Qiu Tu actually stopped what he was doing.

He turned to look at the Empress, then asked, "Is what you said true, Madam? Any conditions are acceptable?"

With his eyes closed and his face expressionless, Emperor Man said, "Yes."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu immediately smiled and stopped, saying, "Wouldn't it have been better to do this earlier?"

After saying that, Qiu Tu casually waved his hand at Shu Xia and said, "Sect Master Shu Xia, since Pavilion Master Manhuang has pleaded for you, you may leave."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Shu Xia lifted her head from her arms.

He first glanced at Qiu Tu, and after realizing that Qiu Tu wasn't looking at him, he looked at Manhuang.

Perhaps sensing his gaze, the Emperor slowly opened his eyes.

The two looked at each other, and the Emperor shook his head slightly at him. Clearly, he was telling him to protect himself and not act rashly.

Shu Xia's plan to rescue Man Huang tonight, though seemingly reckless, was due to a lack of information, not a problem with his abilities.

So, realizing that things were hopeless, he didn't hesitate at all. He got up, clutched his chest, and left the study without looking back.

As he stepped out of the study, he was met with the sight of the corpses of the "Siyuan Pavilion" reinforcements scattered all over the ground.

For a moment, he paused.

But it was only for that one moment. The next second, he acted as if he hadn't seen anything and left the villa.

However, it was precisely because he left so decisively that he didn't notice that Qiu Tu was watching his every move from behind, and that Qiu Tu's gaze had become dark and unfathomable.

Qiu Tu didn't come to his senses until Shu Xia came downstairs. His expressionless face seamlessly switched to a beaming smile.

He brushed off his clothes, which were soiled from the battle, walked over to the Empress, sat down, and then smiled and asked, "What you just said about being willing to accept any conditions, is that true or false?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Manhuang opened her eyes, looked at Qiu Tu with a cold gaze, and then said with a hint of arrogance, "Of course."

Qiu Tu asked again, "Do you mean what you say?"

The Tree Demon King gave Qiu Tu a deep look, then said with a hint of disdain, “Our Tree Demon Clan has always kept its word.”

“Not like you humans, treacherous and cunning.”

Upon hearing Manhuang's words, Qiu Tu immediately felt relieved.

He reached out and touched the Empress's smooth face, then said, "Madam, I hope you can sleep with me tonight."

As Qiu Tu launched into his raucous words, the entire study fell into complete silence.

The once arrogant Emperor Man froze in place, as if his brain had short-circuited.

After a moment, she looked up at Qiu Tu, her face filled with disbelief, as if she were seeing Qiu Tu's true colors for the first time.

Her eyes were filled with disgust. "I never imagined you were this kind of person."

Upon hearing Manhuang's words, Qiu Tu was first taken aback, and then his face was filled with confusion.

He asked, somewhat puzzled, "Madam, hasn't my reputation always been like this?"

"When your 'Siyuan Pavilion' attacked me before, didn't you even investigate me?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Manhuang's expression froze. She bit her lip, about to offer an explanation.

But then, Qiu Tu spoke again.

He said, "Besides... I thought you were already prepared for the bet I proposed."

He paused for a moment, then said bluntly, "After all... besides your body, there doesn't seem to be anything about you that interests me, does there?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's explosive retort, Manhuang was so angry that she trembled all over.

Because of her beauty and genius, she was always pampered by the tree spirit clan from childhood to adulthood.

Later, she advanced to the eighth rank, became the daughter-in-law of the Tree Ancestor, and then the vice-pavilion master of the "Siyuan Pavilion," making her an absolute core member of the "Tree Demon" clan. Her status, position, and strength were revered by countless people. When had she ever suffered such humiliation!

Therefore, she looked at Qiu Tu with shame and anger in her beautiful eyes, her face turning ashen and extremely ugly.

She said, "Speaker Qiu, I really didn't expect you to be so filthy and shallow!"

"And you should know that even if you make such a promise, all you'll get is my body!"

Hearing Manhuang's words, Qiu Tu was even more puzzled.

He looked bewildered and said, "Huh?" Then he added, "But... isn't getting your body enough?"

"Madam... I never intended to win your heart."

Emperor Man: ....

Perhaps she had never encountered a scoundrel like Qiu Tu who was only after her body. Manhuang was completely bewildered.

Her education and worldview made it completely incomprehensible to her to engage in such behavior.

Then, at that moment, after expressing his "feelings," Qiu Tu didn't bother to continue the discussion. He grabbed Manhuang's hand and pulled her sharply into his arms.

Since being captured, the usually composed and aloof Manhuang was startled, then cried out and fell into Qiu Tu's arms with a pale face.

Qiu Tu didn't stand on ceremony. He hoisted Manhuang onto his shoulder and then laughed, "Madam, you just said that your tree-man race is the most trustworthy."

"Then I won't be polite."

"Wait, wait a minute!" At this moment, Manhuang finally realized that Qiu Tu was serious.

She was pinned upside down on Qiu Tu, so she frantically patted his back and said, "Wait a minute. Let me think about it some more."

"I didn't know you were going to make this request."

Qiu Tu said nonchalantly, "It's okay. It's enough that you know now."

"After all, you tree people keep your promises."

Hearing Qiu Tu repeatedly use her own words to criticize her, Manhuang's face turned red and white in turns.

She wanted to take back what she had said, but just then, Qiu Tu spoke again.

He said, "And, madam... don't forget. The condition of our bet is that I will let Shu Xia go."

“If you want to break the contract, I don’t mind going after him.”

"After all, it seems he hasn't gone far..."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's veiled threat, Manhuang froze for a moment, then genuinely didn't know what to do.

She felt that Qiu Tu's current behavior was wrong, but it was indeed she who had been tricked first.

Moreover, Shuxia's life is now indeed under his threat.

Shu Xia is now the only surviving member of the "Siyuan Pavilion" and the sole heir of the "Tree Demon" clan. Moreover, her deceased husband has entrusted her with the responsibility of protecting him.

So, with these thoughts in mind, the Emperor's mind became incredibly chaotic.

To be honest, she didn't want to use her innocence as a bargaining chip, but... things really do go against plan.

Moreover, Qiu Tu didn't give her any chance at all.

So, she finally closed her eyes, shut herself off, and pretended to be dead.

And so, Qiu Tu carried Manhuang to the bedroom next door. By then, the bedroom had already been decorated with aromatherapy, soft lighting, and soothing music.

However, at this moment, the Emperor completely shut himself off, refusing to see or hear anything.

Seeing that Manhuang was pretending to be dead, Qiu Tu didn't care. He carried Manhuang to the bed, then waved his hand to close the door, and then pressed down on top of Manhuang.

Manhuang wanted to close herself off, but... how could she close herself off when Qiu Tu did this?

So she tried to hide it, and tried to hide it again. But she still couldn't quite hide it.

Her body trembled slightly, as if she were afraid of what was about to happen.

Qiu Tu, however, didn't care at all. He gently raised his hand.

It must be said that the Tree Demon Queen truly lived up to her reputation as a peerless beauty of the Tree Demon Clan; both her looks and figure were top-notch. Therefore, Qiu Tu couldn't help but rub his hands together.

At the beginning of Qiu Tu's reign, Man Huang could tolerate it.

Now, Qiu Tu and Man Huang have truly reached their limit.

She suddenly opened her eyes, glared at Qiu Tu, and then said with tears in her eyes, "A forced relationship is never sweet!"

Qiu Tu looked up and nodded. "That makes sense. But... Madam, you're so sweet."

Perhaps because it is a tree spirit, the Manhuang has the fragrance of trees all over its body, and it tastes slightly sweet when you lick it.

It was an absolutely novel experience.

And just when everything seemed to be about to fall into place.

Suddenly, Qiu Tu slowly stopped. He straightened his clothes and then draped a robe over Manhuang's body.

Qiu Tu's sudden stop made Man Huang a little uneasy.

She opened her eyes and looked up at Qiu Tu, as if she was a little puzzled as to why Qiu Tu had stopped.
