Hearing that voice like a nightmare, Larilo was completely stunned.
She paused for a mont, then slowly turned around with disbelief, looking in the direction of the voice.
Then, she saw Qiu Tu lying on a raft, eating grapes and watching her with a smile that was not quite a smile.
Moreover, what was excessive was that there was a huge wooden sun umbrella on the raft, shielding him from the sun.
Coupled with his outfit of a short-sleeve shirt and shorts, one would think he was on vacation in the Dock Sea Area!
In contrast, Larilo was frantically searching for Leyline Nodes to avoid being caught by him, and she didn't even have ti to dry her wet clothes...
Larilo felt really sorry for herself.
She looked at Qiu Tu, then asked incredulously, "How… how did you get here?"
Qiu Tu ate a grape, then nonchalantly said, "Of course I ca looking for you, Your Highness."
"Since you left without a word, I have been so distraught that I left everything behind to co find you."
Larilo: ...
Honestly, if Qiu Tu had started pursuing her imdiately after learning Larilo had escaped, it was indeed possible for him to arrive in the Dock Sea Area within a dozen hours.
But... Larilo didn't believe she was that important to Qiu Tu.
And even… even if Qiu Tu could reach Wuhai City within a dozen hours, it wouldn't be possible for him to find her so quickly.
Leyline Nodes are irregular; one can only search region by region using the spiritual power of Fourth Order or higher Catastrophe beings.
Or directly get the map of "Leyline Nodes" from the forr Domain Master.
So, Larilo, a senior Evil God herself, was aimlessly searching for Leyline Nodes; how could Qiu Tu possibly find her trail?
'There's sothing wrong with this guy, Qiu Tu!'
Larilo criticized Qiu Tu in her mind, yet her face showed none of it.
She pulled out all her acting skills, smiling at Qiu Tu and said, "So that's how it is."
"Actually… Qiu Tu, I also missed you terribly. During those dozens of hours away from you, my mind was full of your image."
On hearing this, Qiu Tu grinned broadly.
He said, "It seems that Your Highness and I truly have a telepathic connection."
With that, he changed his tone and asked, "Then why did Your Highness leave without a word and co to the Dock Sea Area alone?"
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Larilo hurriedly said, "I didn't leave without a word, I wanted to give you a surprise."
"Surprise?" Qiu Tu feigned confusion.
Larilo nodded vigorously, "Yes~~~"
"Think about it. The Whale Shark is already dead, leaving the Dock Sea Area vacant."
"Couldn't you beco the 'Domain Master' of this region?"
Qiu Tu nodded slightly, appreciating the performance of the Heretic Goddess Girl in front of him.
Larilo continued to blather lies, "So! I ca to the Dock Sea Area ahead of ti and tried to find those Leyline Nodes for you."
"That way, when you co to the Dock Sea Area, you can directly refine the nodes and beco the 'Domain Master', right?"
"This could save you so much ti and effort!"
Hearing Larilo's words, Qiu Tu sat up with a smile on his face and began to applaud.
He looked at Larilo and exclaid, "Your Highness, your mind has really beco more radiant recently~"
"Excuses, reasons, they just roll off your tongue."
Larilo was full of conviction. Her crimson eyes earnestly looked at Qiu Tu, "Qiu Tu, I am telling the truth. You have to believe ."
Qiu Tu 'oh?' and then asked, "Then… can you explain why you closed the 'Regional Passage' if you were just looking for Leyline Nodes ahead of ti?"
Ever since Larilo returned to Fourth Order, her confidence improved along with her intelligence.
Thus, she feigned a puzzled look at Qiu Tu.
Her stunning face filled with confusion and incomprehension, "I didn't close the 'Regional Passage.'"
"If I had closed it, how could you have co to the Dock Sea Area?"
Qiu Tu, "Tsk."
'Not bad...'
Qiu Tu felt that Larilo indeed had beco smarter, not only able to spar verbally with him but also knew how to set traps and counterattack.
With such a question, she certainly wouldn't lose.
If Qiu Tu didn't reveal the thod here, it would imply that the 'Regional Passage' was open, and she wouldn't have any problems.
And... if Qiu Tu did reveal the thod, that would be even better. Next ti she ran away, she could make specific arrangents making it harder for Qiu Tu to catch her.
However, Qiu Tu would not play by the rules; he ignored both responses and instead used a tactic Larilo was proficient in - evasion.
He said, "Your Highness, it doesn't matter how I got here. Definitely not through the 'Regional Passage.'"
"If the 'Regional Passage' were really open, would I have only co to find you now?"
Seeing Qiu Tu not playing by the rules, Larilo also gave up, spreading her hands in a gesture of 'what can you do to ,' "Then I don't know. Maybe soone else did it."
"Definitely not ."
"Ha ha ha." Qiu Tu was amused by Larilo.
He was too lazy to argue with Larilo about this issue anymore and simply waved his hand, saying, "Alright, since it's like this, Your Highness, let's go back."
"Don't forget, you just agreed this morning to be with , and even said you would sleep with ."
Larilo, hearing Qiu Tu's words, bit her lip sowhat reluctantly.
