Then let them offer their loyalty!

Ellie took the milk and took a sip. Her mouth was covered in white marks, just like when Yan Yan ate Xiao Qiu Tu a couple of days ago.

"what's up?"

Yan Yan glanced at Ellie's lips and said, "I have a way to save you."

Hearing Yan Yan's words, Ellie was taken aback for a moment, then stuck out her pink little tongue and licked the milk stains on her lips. Then she asked curiously, "How will you help?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Yan shook her head, then forced a stiff smile and said, "It's nothing. Anyway... don't worry, I will definitely be able to rescue you."

Ellie keenly sensed that Yan Yan was acting strangely.

She put the milk in her hand aside, then grabbed Yan Yan's shoulders with both hands and asked, "Yan Yan, how exactly do you plan to save me? Tell me."

"Have you found any evidence?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Yan quickly shook her head.

Her face was full of hesitation, as if she didn't know whether she should speak or not.

Only after Ellie urged her repeatedly did she whisper, "Qiu Tu called me today."

He said... he has a way to save you.

"But... he has conditions. Otherwise, he wants Speaker Wong to agree to let him become the Director of the New Territories Investigation Department and a member of the Tung Yip State Legislative Assembly."

"Or... I could go and stay with him for three days."

Hearing Yan Yan's words, Ellie was so angry she laughed.

She shook Yan Yan's shoulders and said, "Yan Yan, don't be silly! Qiu Tu is lying to you!"

"He's just a deputy director, and he's a suspect himself. Why should he help me?"

"He's a pervert. He's got his eye on you and wants to ruin you!"

Upon hearing Ellie's words, Yan Yan couldn't help but recall Qiu Tu's movements yesterday, coming and going in front of her.

She unconsciously licked her lips, feeling a little dry...

But at this moment, she hadn't forgotten Qiu Tu's instructions from yesterday.

So she looked up at her pure, angelic face and quickly shook her head, "No, Qiu Tu shouldn't be lying to me."

She said, "Qiu Tu told me... Speaker Huang wanted to transfer him to another position, but he didn't succeed."

"At that time, three of the five deputy speakers objected, and one abstained. Speaker Huang looked extremely grim."

Because she had been staying at home, she was kept in the dark about these things. So Ellie was unaware of these events.

Upon hearing Yan Yan's words, she was first stunned, then looked surprised, "3 out of 5 vice speakers voted against and 1 abstained?!"

"This is going to be a big problem..."

Thinking this, Ellie didn't even bother to continue trying to persuade Yan Yan. She quickly said, "Wait a moment. I'll call Secretary Zheng."

After saying that, she picked up the landline on the table and made a call.

A moment later, the call connected. Huang Shangzong's secretary's voice came from the other end, "Hello, who is this?"

Ellie said, "Secretary Zheng, I'm Ellie."

Upon hearing Ellie's voice, Secretary Zheng paused for a moment before smiling and saying, "Director Ellie? What's wrong? What happened?"

Ellie didn't directly ask about the meeting that afternoon, but instead asked a few questions indirectly before bringing up today's "Speaker's Meeting".

Upon hearing Ellie's question, Secretary Zheng hesitated for a moment before finally telling Ellie the whole story.

When she heard that three vice-speakers had actually objected and one vice-speaker had abstained, Ellie could no longer hide the shock on her face.

She pursed her lips, remained silent for two seconds, and then spoke, "So now in the state..."

Upon hearing this, Secretary Zheng sighed deeply and said, "It's a long story. Indeed... it has dealt a significant blow to the Speaker's prestige."

"The speaker was so angry that he smashed two more tables."

"I've been spending all my time there lately looking for affordable, sturdy, and durable tables."

Upon hearing this, Ellie's hands clenched involuntarily. Then, with a look of regret, she said, "It's all because of me... I've brought shame upon the Speaker."

Just then, before Secretary Zheng could speak, Huang Shangzong's voice suddenly came through the receiver, "Little Zheng, is this Ellie?"

"Take the phone. I happen to have some questions I'd like to ask her."

At this moment, Yan Yan, who was beside Ellie, also heard Huang Shangzong's voice. Her gaze shifted slightly, and a pure smile appeared on her angelic face...

'It seems I can complete Master's task now.'

'I can get a reward again....'

.......

at the same time.

Boundless Heart Sea - East City Area.

In that vast and boundless desert.

Inside a sand dune, Larilu was frantically absorbing several pieces of "Boundless Divine Crystal"...

Because she is a fourth-order evil god, her cultivation level has never been a problem that hinders Larilu.

The only problem is resources!

For her, who was previously only a wisp of remnant soul, she needed to spend a huge amount of resources to repair her soul, reshape her physical body, and then return to her peak state!

Fortunately... she had resources!

Thinking this, she looked up and glanced at the space in front of her.

The space contained at least four "Boundless Divine Crystals" of fourth-order evil gods, and one "Boundless Divine Crystal" of a fifth-order evil god.

This was Princess Zetsu's most important treasure trove. And now Lariel has taken it all...

As Larilu absorbed the "Boundless Divine Crystal," Qiu Tu's image appeared before her eyes...

To be honest, even though two or three days have passed, Larilu still doesn't quite understand what Qiu Tu is doing...

Did he really let himself go so easily?

-------

Two chapters, 10,000 words each! Requesting monthly votes!

Chapter 405 La Riluo: Qiu Tu is a good person! (10,000 words, please vote!)

He crushed the "Boundless Divine Crystal" in his hand, then took a deep breath, drawing in the world's highest-level and purest energy into his body!

Lari's body visibly solidified.

Then she couldn't help but recall all her conversations and interactions with Qiu Tu from some time ago.

A few days ago... Qiu Tu tore off his disguise in front of her, finally no longer pretending to be her believer. Moreover, he threatened his life, demanding that she reveal the secret of "Huang Mei".

Larilu has no other redeeming qualities, except that she is genuinely kind...

Therefore, even though she hated Qiu Tu to the core, in order to save her life, she ultimately chose to reveal all the information she knew.

After she finished speaking, she was completely disheartened.

She felt that she might have no hope in this life and would be controlled by Qiu Tu for the rest of her life.

And then, at that very moment...

Qiu Tu suddenly gave her a "Boundless Divine Crystal" the size of a basketball, and said he would give La Riluo freedom.

Larilu was stunned at the time, completely clueless about what Qiu Tu was up to.

However... Qiu Tu's words are deceitful.

She knew she couldn't outsmart Qiu Tu.

So instead of trying to figure out what Qiu Tu is thinking, it's better to protect your own interests first!

So she simply stopped thinking about what Qiu Tu was going to do and started "gnawing" on the basketball-sized "Boundless Divine Crystal".

And so, the basketball-sized "Boundless Divine Crystal" was completely absorbed inside the "Gold-Loving Wallet".

Lariro's strength has also recovered to the level of a peak second-tier evil god.

Although it still lacks a physical form, and is likely much weaker than a typical peak second-tier evil god.

However... with this strength, whether it's breaking free from the "soul shackles" to escape or diving back into the "boundless sea of ​​the heart," it's no longer a problem.

It's fair to say that... unless Qiu Tu is monitoring her every moment, she can leave whenever she wants.

This really confused Lariluo about what Qiu Tu was thinking.

Humans are curious, and so are evil gods.

So... at this point, Lariluo didn't want to leave anymore. She wanted to see what Qiu Tu was planning to do.

So she decided to stay.

As it turned out, instead of leaving, Qiu Tu forced her to go.

That night, Qiu Tu summoned her and they had a very frank and open conversation.

That was the most serious Qiu Tu had ever been since La Ri Luo had met him.

At that moment, Qiu Tu, wearing a black woolen overcoat, leaned against the window, gazing at the sky at a 45-degree angle, smoking. His handsome profile, like the most perfect work of art, was deeply imprinted in La Riluo's mind...

Then Qiu Tu said to La Riluo: There was a reason why he had been scheming against La Riluo all this time.

As a human being, his position was naturally opposed to that of the evil god. Furthermore, he was a high-ranking member of the Investigation Bureau, and other departments were keeping a close eye on him after learning that he had obtained Lariro.

Therefore, he couldn't be too nice to Lariel. If he were too nice to Lariel, it would expose his stance, and both he and Lariel would be in danger.

Therefore, he had to extract information from Lariro from time to time and provide it to the shelter in order to protect Lariro's safety.

And now... he can finally stop pretending.

The information about the "Yellow Demon" that Larilu provided him was too valuable. He was confident that even if he released Larilu, he could still ensure his own safety.

To be honest, La Riluo completely ignored Qiu Tu's words.

The whole thing was just: "Ah, right, right, right."

But I didn't take it to heart at all.

As it turned out, Qiu Tu seemed to be serious. He actually planned a "prison break" for her.

The plan was simple: Qiu Tu would hand La Riluo over to a few of his trusted men. These men would then escort La Riluo to the security office.

He would arrange for his enemies to check on him along the way.

At that time, all Larilu needs to do is concentrate her mental energy, disturb the enemy's mind, and make the enemy lose their grip and drop the altar to the ground.

Lariro could then take this opportunity to smash the altar from the inside, break free, and gain complete freedom.

This plan perfectly matched La Riluo's perception of Qiu Tu: insidious, ruthless, and capable of killing multiple birds with one stone.

He clearly said he was willing to risk letting himself go, but in the end... he still ended up betraying his own enemy.

Moreover, La Riluo strongly suspected that Qiu Tu wanted to use her to attack the enemy—to make the enemy force her to escape. Then he would hide in the shadows and capture her.

After a while, the enemy suffered, and he gained merit.

But... Lariluo had no other choice at the time. Moreover, she was curious whether Qiu Tu truly wanted to release her.

So... she agreed to the plan.

On the day of the plan, Qiu Tu indeed handed her over to his trusted confidant.

Sure enough, a girl came over for a checkup.

Lariro successfully knocked down the girl and then escaped.

But she... did not encounter Qiu Tu, who was waiting for her.

Let alone Qiu Tu, there were no ambushes or backup plans whatsoever.

Even... thanks to Qiu Tu's deliberate actions, no one investigated her.

To be honest, at that moment, Larilu was confused...

Looking at the vast expanse of heaven and earth, she was momentarily at a loss for where to go.
