Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty! Chapter 1046 - 498 Larilo: You Take and Eat! (Thanks to the

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but recall the details Larilo had just ntioned, then asked, "By the way, what is 'Absolute Perception'?"

"Is it so sort of talent?"

Larilo heard his words, her crystal-clear little jojo swaying back and forth, then replied in a carefree manner, "I don't know."

"My sister said, 'Those who have it naturally know, those who don't, knowing won't help.'"

As she spoke, Larilo even imitated Zhao Ji's cocky expression.

Qiu Tu: .....

Qiu Tu applauded inwardly. Brilliant! Just like Zhao Ji's style.

But this also let Qiu Tu know that he probably didn't have this talent.

'Well, it's no big deal....'

'After all.... didn't I already plan everything beforehand: my sister leads through the door, cultivation relies on my sister, resources rely on my sister, treasures and potions—all depend on my sister!'

'Larilo's sister is also my sister, makes perfect sense!'

With that, after apologizing to Larilo and negotiating terms, Qiu Tu finally let Larilo down.

The "Enlightennt Area" was a mountainous and river-scattered region controlled by an ordinary Fourth-Order Evil God nad "Cang Yun."

However, when Zhao Ji and Larilo descended two days earlier, they had scared it into hiding imdiately.

Now, even though Zhao Ji had left, Qiu Tu—being a Fifth-Order Calamity Being—had arrived, making it even more unwilling to show itself.

Thus, after setting Larilo down, Qiu Tu acted as if he were in his own domain, naturally bringing her to the riverside below, soaking his feet while chatting.

Qiu Tu kept his "Order Space" active at all tis, ensuring that no Evil God or Cataclysmic was stealthily lurking nearby.

After confirming no one was spying on them, Qiu Tu took out the "Earth Vein Flower," then asked, "You really don't want this?"

Larilo tilted her head to glance at Qiu Tu but didn't reach out to take it.

She propped herself up on the riverbank with both hands, dipping her feet into the cool water, then looked down, saying, "Actually... I don't care about power and all that."

"Whether I beco Fifth-Rank, Sixth-Rank—it doesn't make a difference to ."

"My sister wants to return to the 'core area,' but I don't."

"I think it's really nice being free and relaxed in the 'edge region.'"

"So... your so-called treasures are worthless to ."

"If you like it, just take it."

After hearing this, Qiu Tu thought for a mont, then said, "Alright then, since you want to have it, I'll accept it."

"But can you also give the East City Area?"

Larilo tilted her head, confusion filling her face: ??

She gritted her teeth and said, "You're seriously shaless!"

"How can you take the flower and the area as well!"

Qiu Tu coughed lightly, wrapped an arm around her shoulders, and said, "Look at you...."

"This is all for our safety, you know."

Qiu Tu analyzed for her, "Think about it.... My misunderstandings with your sister are so deep, and she harbors such hostility towards ."

"Isn't it best for us not to provoke her for the ti being?"

Larilo hesitated, then nodded slightly. Qiu Tu nodded in satisfaction and continued speaking,

"Plus, she gave you the 'Earth Vein Flower' earlier for you to use."

"But you turned around and gave the 'Earth Vein Flower' to . Won't that make her furious?"

Larilo nodded again.

Qiu Tu said, "So shouldn't we go all the way with the act? You give the 'East City Area,' letting perform the Nine Stars in a Row smoothly?"

"After all, only then will she trust that you actually obtained the 'Earth Vein Flower.'"

"And she won't suspect the two of us, right?"

Larilo instinctively felt there was sothing off about this, but... she couldn't quite explain it. Thus, she simply nodded again.

Yet after nodding, a sense of confusion surfaced again.

Unable to resist, she asked, "But... if I give you the 'East City Area' and don't refine the 'Earth Vein Flower,' won't she still figure things out?"

Qiu Tu wrapped his arm around Larilo, smiled, and said, "Your Highness, that would be your mistake...."

"Who said getting the 'Earth Vein Flower' ans you have to refine it?"

"Right now, under the boost of the 'False Fra,' you're only at Peak Fourth Rank."

"Your main body's strength should just be Fourth Rank Middle Stage, correct?"

Seeing Larilo nod, Qiu Tu continued, "You're not even Fifth Rank yet, so why refine the 'Earth Vein Flower' so early?"

At this, Qiu Tu paused briefly, then said, "Take as an example. My main body strength is currently just Early Fifth Rank Stage."

"I'm still far from Peak Fifth Rank, so there's no need for to rush to perform Nine Stars in a Row or refine the 'Earth Vein Flower.'"

"It's better to improve our strength first. When our strength has risen, we can refine it together."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Larilo still felt sothing was a bit off, but since she was naturally carefree, she couldn't be bothered to think too much. She simply nodded slightly in agreent.

However, if Larilo had been colleagues with Qiu Tu in a past life and studied the "Emotional Fraud Manual."

She would realize this was actually "Emotional Fraud Manual [108 Ways to Strengthen Emotional Bonds]" strategy no. 59: 'You and I are one.'

When chatting with won, skillfully use terms like 'we,' 'us,' 'the two of us,' 'together,' etc., which imply that the two are a unified team.

This kind of psychological suggestion subtly leads won to feel they form a small unit with you, effectively drawing the two closer.

Whether used to build initial goodwill or to deepen affection, it works remarkably well.

The reason Qiu Tu employed this little trick to 'work on' Larilo.

Was rely to plant a psychological notion: among their trio of himself, Larilo, and Zhao Ji, his connection with Larilo was the closest.
