Then let them offer their loyalty!

After assigning La Riluo her tasks and sending the girl away, Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji were soon left alone in the hall.

Qiu Tu does indeed possess a magical ability. When he's with La Riluo, he can be incredibly lively, occasionally teasing her or making suggestive jokes.

However, when he was with Zhao Ji, Qiu Tu's aura immediately became calm and composed.

He looked at Zhao Ji with a serious expression and a hint of affection, and just watched her quietly.

Zhao Ji was originally a quiet person. When she saw Qiu Tu gazing at her affectionately, she tightened her grip a little uncomfortably, but said nothing.

Qiu Tu didn't break the romantic atmosphere between the two. Instead, he asked Zhao Ji about her, "How have you been these past few days? I've been worried about you."

It was just an ordinary greeting, but now it sounds especially heartwarming.

Zhao Ji's heart skipped a beat before she finally spoke, "It's alright..."

After she finished speaking, she paused for a moment, perhaps worried that her simple response was too cold, so she added, "Everything went smoothly."

Qiu Tu nodded slightly upon hearing this. He didn't ask what realm Zhao Ji was currently at, nor did he comment on her answer. Instead, he spoke up...

"From the moment you started aiming for rapid advancement, you were destined to clash with the 'Destruction Court'."

"I had some expectations at the time, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly."

"Your conflict with the 'Destruction Court' is deepening and becoming increasingly intractable. A confrontation is highly likely in the future."

"Moreover... in all of your operations, you didn't ask me to assist you, which must have left many clues."

"At that time, it will be easy for the other party to find you."

At this point, Qiu Tu paused for a moment before continuing, "The other God-Kings are manageable. But if a high-ranking God-King like the 'Destruction Tyrant' were to attack, we would have a hard time resisting."

"So... after you come back this time, focus on advancing in the next level, and then keep a low profile for a while. Give us some time to develop."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji paused for a second before coldly replying, "He's just a high-level God-King. Don't worry about him."

It has to be said that after a month apart, the King of Pretentiousness is still the same King of Pretentiousness.

Especially when Zhao Ji said those words, her posture was upright and proud, and her beautiful face was full of aloofness, nobility and confidence.

Coupled with her cold, piercing eyes, like a deep, icy pool... for a moment, Qiu Tu genuinely believed what Zhao Ji had said.

However, once reason returned, Qiu Tu immediately sobered up.

He looked at Zhao Ji, then gently flattered her, "Of course Sister Zhao Ji doesn't care about high-ranking god-kings."

"After all... you'll become a high-ranking god-king sooner or later."

Then he finally said what he really wanted to say, "But... just because a high-ranking god-king can't defeat you doesn't mean he can't defeat me, or the people around me."

"What if he gets enraged and attacks me or someone close to me while you're not around? What will we do then?"

Although Zhao Ji likes to show off, she still knows what is showing off and what is the actual situation.

So, after hearing Qiu Tu's words, she remained silent for two seconds before slowly saying, "Then let's keep a low profile for a while."

She paused for a moment, then added, "But don't worry, it won't be long."

"Once I break through, I should be able to fight against these high-level god-kings."

The more she spoke, the more imposing Zhao Ji became. Her deep, cool eyes gleamed, and then she said with a serious expression,

"Should I avoid his sharp edge then?"

"They are both God-Kings, so I might just be able to defeat him!"

Zhao Ji does possess a unique charm; her words always carry a subtle air of sophistication.

More importantly, it always makes people want to believe.

More importantly... it seems that Zehime really does possess a talent that makes people believe in her abilities.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu said from the bottom of his heart, "I look forward to that day."

"With Zhao Ji around, I can walk sideways again."

Qiu Tu's words may have triggered memories of the past.

Zhao Ji looked at Qiu Tu, then nodded seriously, "That day will come."

After all... ever since Qiu Tu ascended to the Heavenly God realm, the strength between the two has become increasingly similar, and Zhao Ji can no longer act as Qiu Tu's backer, allowing him to use his power to bully others.

Not long ago, Qiu Tu was promoted to the second level of God King. According to Zhao Ji's estimate, once Qiu Tu uses his bug-level cataclysmic abilities, the difference in strength between the two will be almost completely eliminated.

This is also why Zhao Ji has been desperately accumulating resources and continuing to advance in rank—she wants to return to the relationship she had with Qiu Tu at the very beginning.

If Qiu Tu could understand Zhao Ji's feelings at this moment, he would probably find it understandable.

After all... women who lack security and have never been in a relationship often exhibit this type of behavior.

—Once they get used to and feel comfortable with a certain way of getting along with someone, they will unconsciously maintain this way of getting along.

Because that's what makes them feel at ease.

This is a relatively unhealthy psychological state, and women with this symptom are likely not to have received enough love from their families when they were young.

This can also make them more sensitive about relationships when they grow up.

Comparatively speaking, this state of mind is not healthy. But... perhaps because Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji's initial interactions were so unusual, it actually ignited Zhao Ji's drive...

It has to be said that it was a twist of fate.

After chatting with Zhao Ji for a while and increasing her "favorability," Qiu Tu led Zhao Ji to his bedroom to prepare for the next level.

To ensure Zhao Ji's safety, Qiu Tu naturally had to protect her throughout the entire process of her advancement.

Of course, protecting Zhao Ji doesn't mean Qiu Tu will do nothing.

Just then, Zhao Ji and La Ri Luo brought him the spy from the "Immortal Heavenly Tomb." Qiu Tu planned to take this opportunity to learn about the "Immortal Heavenly Tomb" and what its three leaders were up to...

Chapter 790 Sister Zhaoji, you underestimate me (Seeking monthly votes)

Qiu Tu had already discussed Zhao Ji's plan for advancing with her on the way here.

Therefore, Zhao Ji did not misunderstand and went directly into Qiu Tu's bedroom.

Qiu Tu had already set up various magic arrays in the bedroom.

Zhao Ji stood at the doorway, activated "Absolute Perception," scanned all the magic circles with her gaze, and then nodded slightly.

She looked at Qiu Tu and then said, "It seems... you really are very talented."

"After just two years of practice, I've learned almost all of these magic arrays."

"And they all work very well."

At this point, Zhao Ji paused, then said, "Back then, it also took me a full year and a half..."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu's eyes lit up slightly. He had just thought that Zhao Ji was about to praise him after her transformation.

Then he heard Zhao Ji add the second half of the sentence, "It took a full year and a half... to create these magic arrays from scratch."

Qiu Tu: .....

Qiu Tu knew it! This woman has been pretending to be cool for two lifetimes, how could she possibly change her ways!

She's not really praising herself; her main purpose is to highlight herself.

However, Qiu Tu didn't forget that Zhao Ji's "weakness" was her tendency to shower others with compliments.

So, despite inwardly complaining, Qiu Tu still praised her, saying, "Sister Zhaoji truly deserves to be the most talented person in the 'Boundless Sea of ​​Hearts'."

"They created these miraculous magic arrays in just a year and a half. Their understanding of 'Cataclysmic Power' has reached a level of unparalleled mastery. Almost no one can compare."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji's expression remained as aloof as a snow-capped mountain, but the corners of her mouth had already turned up almost imperceptibly.

Even so, she didn't forget to correct Qiu Tu...

She stood there, like the purest ice sculpture in winter, and said with a cool, aloof expression, "Not the person with the highest talent in 'Boundless Heart Sea'."

"But...the whole world."

"It's not that 'almost' no one can compare; it's that no one can definitely compare."

Qiu Tu: ....

To be honest, if someone else had said these words, Qiu Tu would have felt a bit immature and embarrassed.

But these words were spoken by Zehime...

When she spoke, her expression was incredibly serious, as if she truly agreed with what she was saying.

Combined with her past achievements and prodigious talent, Qiu Tu actually began to doubt whether she was telling the truth.

And honestly, regardless of whether this matter is true or false, the detail of Zehime arguing is already quite adorable. It creates a charming contrast with her aloof appearance.

Therefore, upon hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu did not argue at all, but simply smiled and replied, "Sister Zhao Ji is right."

"Your talent is truly unique in the world."

"I misspoke just now."

Seeing that Qiu Tu had once again acknowledged her, Zhao Ji's smile deepened. This made her already good mood, which was already good because of seeing Qiu Tu, even better.

Just then, perhaps because of the chat, Zhao Ji suddenly remembered the "Destined Divine Skill" she left for Qiu Tu with the "Remembering Stone" before leaving.

So, she couldn't help but look at Qiu Tu and said in a cool tone, "By the way, did you see the 'remembering stone' I left for you before I left?"

Qiu Tu nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Seeing Qiu Tu nod, Zhao Ji then said, "That 'Innate Divine Skill' was specially modified for you. It should be very suitable for you. You must learn it as soon as possible."

She paused for a moment, then added, "It just so happens that I have some time to adjust my state of mind before going into seclusion."

"If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I'll help you answer them or guide you step-by-step through developing the 'Cataclysm Equation.'"

Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu was taken aback for a moment. Then he smiled and looked at Zhao Ji, saying, "No need, Sister Zhao Ji."

Zhao Ji's feelings for Qiu Tu have indeed changed somewhat. Seeing that Qiu Tu refused her help, her first thought was that Qiu Tu was still clueless and didn't want to waste her time.

So she looked at Qiu Tu with her deep and aloof eyes and said, "Everything is difficult at the beginning."

"You haven't mastered it not because you lack talent, but because you haven't found the knack."

"You don't need to worry about taking up too much of my time. I just need to help you find the key, and then I'll go into seclusion."

"With your talent, once you get the hang of it, it shouldn't be long before you're able to create something successful."

At this point, she thought for a moment and then offered Qiu Tu a glimpse of hope, "Seven months. Within seven months, you will definitely be able to learn this 'innate divine skill.'"

Hearing Zhao Ji's concern, Qiu Tu felt both touched and amused. He realized that Zhao Ji truly had no confidence in him.

It only took Zeki half a month to create this "destined divine skill," but it took her seven months to learn it.

This ratio does indeed match the original talent ratio between the two: Zhao Ji 99 points, Qiu Tu 7 points.

However, it was clear that Zhao Ji had given Qiu Tu the wrong talent stats from the beginning, so when Qiu Tu heard Zhao Ji's words, he couldn't help but say, "Sister Zhao Ji, actually... I've already mastered it."

Zhao Ji was still racking her brains trying to figure out how to appease Qiu Tu.

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, she was momentarily stunned.

She couldn't help but look at Qiu Tu.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu also released a wisp of his "innate divine skill" aura, pressing down on Zhao Ji.

Sensing that familiar yet unfamiliar aura, Zhao Ji was startled again, and then couldn't help but try to savor it.

If Zhao Ji had previously suspected that Qiu Tu was deliberately exaggerating, she now had no doubts whatsoever.

Words can be lied about, but one's aura cannot be faked. Especially the aura of one's "innate divine skill," which is even more impossible to fake.

That was created and modified by Lady Zhao herself, how could she possibly mistake it?

However... sensing that aura, Zhao Ji was no longer surprised that Qiu Tu had learned this "innate divine skill" in such a short time.

What surprised her even more was that... the aura was clearly not exactly the same as the "Wrath of the Emperor" that she had created.

This indicates that Qiu Tu modified this "Destined Divine Skill" again based on his own creation, "The Wrath of the Emperor".

Judging from the smoothness of this aura, his modifications were quite perfect. At least it suited him much better now.

Thinking this, Zhao Ji, who understood the difficulty of creating and modifying "innate divine skills", couldn't help but take a deep look at Qiu Tu, and then her hand hidden in her sleeve tightened slightly.

Previously, she only knew that Qiu Tu advanced very quickly, but this was because of Qiu Tu's unique "catastrophe path", so everything was understandable.

But now... Zhao Ji discovered that Qiu Tu not only advanced quickly, but also had outstanding comprehension.
