Then let them offer their loyalty!

As a god-king, Qiu Tu was allocated more than a dozen mansions in the core area of ​​the "God of Wine Kingdom".

These residences are connected in one area, with Qiu Tu's residence as the center, and are arranged around it.

People like Jasmine, Guan Xiao, Zhiyan, and Li Feng and her daughter all live there.

After leaving Jasmine's courtyard, La Riluo walked through the other girls' courtyards to find Qiu Tu, and didn't forget to curiously peek inside.

Guan Xiao, being a very busy person, was nowhere to be found when Qiu Tu didn't need her. Meanwhile, Zhiyan and Li Feng were chatting.

In the past month or so, under the influence of Zhao Ji and with the supply of various resources, La Ri Luo's strength has become completely different from before.

So even though she was far away from the two of them, she could still hear their conversation clearly.

Zhiyan, "Xiaofeng... what exactly do you think of Qiu Tu?"

As a veteran eighth-tier Cataclysm user, the years have not left any marks on Zhiyan Tianwang's face or body.

Therefore, in front of outsiders, when she and Li Feng stand together, they look more like sisters than mother and daughter.

But when it was just the two of them together, she really acted like a mother, even her eyes were filled with tenderness.

However, when Li Feng heard Zhiyan's question, she did not show the shyness that a normal daughter would have.

Perhaps due to her years of military campaigns, her personality became more direct.

She looked at Zhiyan Tianwang and said firmly, "Mom, I really like Qiu Tu."

Upon hearing Li Feng's words, Heavenly King Zhiyan's expression became noticeably complicated.

She said carefully, "But... Xiaofeng, you should know that Qiu Tu is not a good match."

"He's too much of a womanizer; he has way too many women around him."

"Don't even mention you, I bet even he himself can't count them all."

At this point, Heavenly King Zhiyan paused before continuing, "Therefore, it will be difficult for you to find happiness with him."

"Even if you two do end up together, and you really don't mind the women around him... I'm still worried that one day a woman might suddenly appear in his life and give you a fright."

Upon hearing what Heavenly King Zhiyan said, Li Feng couldn't help but smile.

She took Li Feng's arm and said, "Mom, don't worry."

"If you want to be with someone, of course you have to accept all their flaws."

“When I wanted to be with Qiu Tu, I knew what kind of situation I would be facing.”

"Mom, don't worry."

Heavenly King Zhiyan: .....

To be honest, Heavenly King Zhiyan really wanted to say: No, you don't know...

But now that Li Feng was in high spirits, she couldn't say it outright, so all her worries could only turn into a soft sigh.

“Sigh…” Heavenly King Zhiyan touched Li Feng’s hair with a complicated expression and said, “Let’s take it one step at a time.”

"Let nature take its course."

Hearing what Heavenly King Zhiyan said, Li Feng visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

But then, as if she had just thought of something, she suddenly let out a soft "Eh," and said, "Mom... why are you suddenly asking me this?"

“I remember you never cared about my love life before.”

As she spoke, she looked at King Zhiyan with a thoughtful expression.

Being scrutinized by his own daughter, Heavenly King Zhiyan was clearly a little guilty, and her expression even stiffened.

Just then, Li Feng suddenly laughed. As if she had discovered something, she said with a grin, "I know. Mom, you don't mean you have someone you like too, do you?"

Heavenly King Zhiyan: ....

While it's not the worst-case scenario, it's close enough.

Thinking this, Heavenly King Zhiyan was momentarily at a loss for words.

They can't just admit it and then tell Li Feng that they both like the same person, can they?

Wouldn't this cause chaos throughout the world?

Li Feng, being the ruler of the Fourth Sanctuary, was certainly no fool. Therefore, even though Heavenly King Zhiyan hesitated for only a second, she immediately sensed something was amiss.

She looked at her mother in surprise, then said, "No way? Mom...you really have someone you like?"

Unexpectedly, her daughter's senses were so sharp that Heavenly King Zhiyan was visibly flustered for a moment. She quickly tried to make up an excuse to brush it off.

But... how could Li Feng give her a chance?

Li Feng immediately put her arms around Zhiyan Tianwang's neck and said with a smile, "Mom, tell me. Who is it?"

Now that she was a celestial being, her mind worked incredibly fast. So, before Li Feng could even answer, her brain was already racing, making a series of conditional judgments.

After a moment, she spoke, "You've always had high standards and don't look down on ordinary men. You've always been in Shelter 2, and the people around you have always been the same. So it's most likely not them."

"After that... during the 'Trial of the Gods,' we stayed together the whole time. Back then, you acted perfectly normal, unlike how you're so hesitant and awkward now. It's as if you have a thousand words to say."

"And then... you were given Qiu Tu's orders to make contact with that 'Chaos God King'..."

Upon hearing this, Heavenly King Zhiyan's heart skipped a beat, and she almost gave herself away.

Fortunately, she was now a goddess, able to perfectly control her body. So even though her heart was churning with turmoil, she suppressed her emotions and listened intently to the rest of her daughter's words...

Li Feng, however, did not notice her mother's unusual behavior and continued, "That place is a remote and impoverished area. Apart from Qiu Tu and his group, there isn't even a fourth-level expert there. You should be even less interested."

"The last remaining place is here, which is the 'Land of Dionysus'!"

At this point, Li Feng's face clearly showed excitement, "So... Mom, did you meet some god or god-king here and fall in love with him?"

Upon hearing Li Feng's final conclusion, Zhiyan visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Once she calmed down, her expression relaxed even more. She glared at Zhiyan with curiosity and then said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Since I arrived on the 'Ancient Continent,' my heart has been entirely devoted to Qiu Tu..."

"...on Speaker Qiu Tu's mission."

“He sent people all the way here to bring us here. It shows he trusts us and believes we can help him.”

"I don't have the time, and how could I possibly think about other gods or god-kings?"

Hearing Heavenly King Zhiyan's serious words, Li Feng dared not joke around anymore.

Seeing that she had intimidated her daughter, Heavenly King Zhiyan felt even more relaxed. She couldn't help but want to assert her maternal authority and give her daughter a proper lesson.

But looking at her daughter's beautiful face, she couldn't help but think of that nemesis Qiu Tu.

Thinking of the entanglement between herself, her daughter, and Qiu Tu, she couldn't help but sigh.

Although Li Feng's feelings for Qiu Tu were unrequited, Qiu Tu was not interested in her and only liked her. However, she was "forced" into this situation.

But... no matter what, he had essentially stolen his daughter's love interest. In peacetime, that would be considered a scandal.

Therefore, facing Li Feng, Heavenly King Zhiyan clearly felt guilty. So, despite having a thousand words on her lips, she finally said, "Never mind... think about it again."

"I just feel that... Qiu Tu is indeed not a good match, and I suggest you reconsider."

She paused, then added with a complicated expression, "Otherwise, you'll definitely regret it..."

Perhaps because the conversation was too intense, the mother and daughter were unaware that... Lariluo, who was squatting outside the courtyard, had witnessed and heard the entire scene.

She tilted her head, thought for a moment, and her scarlet pupils were filled with curiosity and amusement.

Only after the mother and daughter finished talking did she seem to discover something extremely interesting, chuckle twice, and then continue humming a song as she went to find Qiu Tu.

The rest of the journey was smooth sailing.

Soon, La Riluo arrived at the outer perimeter of Qiu Tu's courtyard.

Because Zhao Ji was in seclusion preparing for a breakthrough, Qiu Tu set up two layers of magic arrays outside his courtyard for early warning and to ensure safety.

The effect of these two layers of magic arrays can only be described as "present," but not significant. They're more effective at protecting against malicious people than honest ones.

After all, the "Kingdom of the God of Wine" is the world of Elena, the guardian god-king. In this world, her power can crush all gods except for high-ranking god-kings.

Therefore, if Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji are to be threatened in the "Wine God Kingdom", only a high-level god-king can invade, or Elena can take action herself.

Neither of these two possibilities can be avoided by the magic array.

Qiu Tu's magic array also originated from Zhao Ji, sharing the same source as La Ri Luo.

So Larilu solved the puzzle effortlessly and then walked into the courtyard.

As soon as we crossed the courtyard and arrived at Qiu Tu's house, the door opened by itself.

Although Lariluo had broken the formation, she had still triggered the alarm, so Qiu Tu had noticed her arrival early on and opened the door. Inside was Qiu Tu.

Upon seeing Qiu Tu, La Riluo's face immediately lit up with a lovely smile. She walked in cheerfully and immediately began teasing Qiu Tu about Zhiyan and her daughter Li Feng.

"Qiu Tu, you have no idea how bad your reputation is right now."

Qiu Tu was pondering the information about the "Immortal Heavenly Tomb" that he had just obtained from King Gutian. Hearing Larilu's words, he paused for a moment, and then a question mark appeared above his head.

Upon hearing this, La Riluo chuckled twice and then vividly recounted the conversation between Zhiyan and her daughter Li Feng to Qiu Tu.

When La Riluo heard Zhiyan advising Li Feng to carefully consider Qiu Tu, otherwise she might regret it in the future, she couldn't stop smiling.

She patted Qiu Tu's arm and said in a cheeky tone, "Look, that mother is worried that you'll ruin her daughter."

"So, I specifically called my daughter out for a talk."

"Think about your current reputation."

Qiu Tu: ....

Seeing La Riluo's smug look, as if she had found his little flaw, Qiu Tu's expression couldn't help but become a little strange.

Seeing Qiu Tu's expression, La Riluo instinctively sensed something was wrong, but she couldn't pinpoint the problem.

She hesitated for a moment, but continued to share information with Qiu Tu. She leaned closer to Qiu Tu and whispered, "However, Qiu Tu... it seems that Heavenly King Zhiyan really has someone she likes."

"I carefully observed her expressions and movements while they were talking."

“When General Li Feng said that she had someone she liked, she was obviously very uncomfortable.”

"General Li Feng was too close to her to observe properly due to the angle. However, I was able to keenly observe everything."

She nudged Qiu Tu lightly with her elbow and then said, "So... do you know who it is?"

Upon hearing La Riluo's words, Qiu Tu's expression immediately became even more peculiar.

He was willing to make something up, but... at this moment, most of his mind was still processing the information provided by King Gutian, so his reaction was slow for a moment.

After being carried by Zhao Ji for a while, La Ri Luo's strength is now completely different from before. So in just a moment, she keenly noticed Qiu Tu's strange expression.

Combined with Qiu Tu's hesitation just now, a bold idea was born in her mind the next second.

Her mouth gaped slightly, then she looked at Qiu Tu with disbelief and said, "No way... Could it be... it's you..."

After saying that, La Riluo's mind raced, and she quickly went over everything that Heavenly King Zhiyan had just said.

Once you have the "answer," then you can "solve the problem," and everything will naturally leave traces everywhere.

Suddenly, she found that everything was going smoothly.

No wonder Heavenly King Zhiyan wanted to talk to Li Feng, no wonder Heavenly King Zhiyan told Li Feng to reconsider, no wonder Heavenly King Zhiyan said Li Feng would regret choosing Qiu Tu.

Moreover... Li Feng's previous analysis of Heavenly King Zhiyan was entirely correct.

Heavenly King Zhiyan only had two opportunities to meet men who caught her eye. One was in the City of Mandala, and the other was in the Kingdom of Dionysus.

And what these two cases have in common is that Qiu Tu is involved!

It must be said that all living beings enjoy the thrill of solving puzzles.

Therefore, after realizing that she had truly seen through everything, Lariro's expression became increasingly strange.

She looked at Qiu Tu, then said with a look of disgust, "That girl likes you, but you're eyeing her mother..."

"A mother and daughter? Qiu Tu, this is too perverted!"

At this point, Lariel's tone shifted, and her expression abruptly changed from disdain to excitement. Her doe eyes seemed to sparkle. "But! I love it so much!"

She grabbed Qiu Tu's arm and said excitedly, "Quick! Tell me!"

"How far have things progressed between you and Heavenly King Zhiyan?"

How did you two get together?
