He spoke as if he was just casually complaining, and then said, "I asked her to save you. But she said if you can't even overco this crisis on your own, then you don't deserve to be a deity."
"Even if you beco a deity again, you'd still just be prey for other deities."
Larilo's gaze was profound.
'It's her... it's her tone.'
Qiu Tu, "She also told that you're now just a wisp of soul and consciousness, with little value left. Whether it's your abilities, strength, or status, all have dissipated like smoke. You're just like trash."
Larilo's crimson gaze narrowed slightly.
'It's her...'
Qiu Tu continued, "Lastly, I'm not sure if I misunderstood, but she voluntarily told the thod for you to regain your strength... or rather, the way for all beings to improve their strength."
"She said that every region of the Boundless Heart Sea has a Central Hub. And that Central Hub could take various forms, so are terrains, so are non-living objects, so are plants, so are animals, or even people."
"As long as you regain control of that Central Hub, you can restore your strength, and ordinary beings can also raise their status and strength..."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Larilo's pupils suddenly contracted, and then she looked up at Qiu Tu with narrowed, crimson eyes, her voice sounding as if it were squeezed out through clenched teeth, fiercely asking, "Did she really tell you all this?"
Qiu Tu hadn't lied about any of the things he said. He had just cleverly switched the order of the information.
So, with his eyes conveying innocence, he nodded without any ntal burden and raised his hand to swear, "I assure you that all this information was told to by Her Highness Zhao Ji."
"If she didn't tell , then may the thunder strike down, may I die from overeating at a feast, crash in a luxury car, sleep with ten won in one day and have my essence sapped away unto death!"
What was originally a very serious matter, with Qiu Tu's actions, the atmosphere was sowhat diffused. Larilo rolled her beautiful eyes at Qiu Tu, "You sure don't lose out. Even before dying, you want to enjoy yourself first."
After speaking, she gave Qiu Tu another bewitching look as a reminder, "You should be clear that in an era where oaths manifest in the Spirit World, vows carry power."
Qiu Tu was without guilt. He patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, I'm telling the truth, so I'm not afraid to swear."
Seeing Qiu Tu speak so confidently, Larilo seed to really believe him a bit, her brows tightly furrowed.
Honestly, the things Qiu Tu had told her did fit with Larilo's impression of Zhao Ji. However... none of that information was conclusive evidence, after all, if one really wanted to, they could explain—that Sanctuary could very likely have information on the Central Hub of the Boundless Heart Sea and Zhao Ji's personality.
Qiu Tu might have combined those two parts, then fabricated a conversation, and used this information to gain her trust, deceiving her...
anwhile, just as Larilo was having these doubts, suddenly... Qiu Tu spoke again.
"Oh... right, Your Highness."
"After talking about the Central Hub, Her Highness Zhao Ji told another story."
"A story?" Larila frowned and looked up.
Qiu Tu made an affirmative sound and said, "Yes, Her Highness Zhao Ji told a story about her taking you on a hunt for a Wood Dragon before you had control over the Xinjie Territory."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Larilo's crimson pupils suddenly contracted!
Seeing Larilo's reaction, Qiu Tu's eyes flickered with a hint of amusent...
Success...
Indeed, his previous thoughts weren't wrong. His image in Larilo's mind was too poor, if he didn't release the heavy bombs in a gradual manner, even if he was telling the truth, Larilo wouldn't believe him.
Only by a step-by-step guide of Larilo's emotions, bit by bit releasing the heavy bombs, could he make Larilo completely believe the "facts" he fabricated.
Sure enough, after the heaviest bomb, "Wood Dragon," was dropped, Larilo seed relieved as if a burden had been lifted: her suspended heart finally died.
The matter of the Wood Dragon was sothing only she and Zhao Ji knew about. She had never ntioned it to Qiu Tu, so the only way Qiu Tu could know about it would have had to be through Zhao Ji...
'She actually did this to !'
'Back then, it was clearly she who wronged ! And now, she even wants to harm !'
Thinking this, Larilo's lips lightly bit down, her crimson eyes filled with humiliation and rage!
However, after seething with anger, Larilo felt sothing was slightly off.
She knew her sister better than anyone else.
She was like a clam. You couldn't get her to say anything even with a stick!
Qiu Tu had only just t her for the first ti. Would her sister really talk so much with Qiu Tu? And about such a secretive topic?
Larilo felt sothing was fishy.
After a mont, she suddenly seed to realize sothing and abruptly asked, "Qiu Tu, when you t my sister, how did you introduce yourself?"
Qiu Tu looked innocent as he said, "How else could I introduce myself? It was, of course, the whole truth."
Larilo frowned slightly and lowered her head, feeling it still wasn't right.
And at that mont, Qiu Tu added, "After all, I am your man."
Larilo's head shot up!
She said with an annoyed expression, "Since when are you my man!?"
Qiu Tu lowered his head, glancing at his own stick.
Larilo: ...
Larilo fell silent.
She took a deep breath, silently telling herself not to stoop to the level of this vile rogue Qiu Tu. And then... it all seed to click.
If Qiu Tu said he was one of her followers, her sister would be 100% uninterested in him.
But... if this shaless Qiu Tu claid to be her man, then her sister might actually react out of their years of conflict with so different thoughts...
