Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Princess Xi fell silent.

After all, ever since Qiu Tu broke the agreement and betrayed her, she had been standing on the moral high ground to denounce Qiu Tu.

Now that Qiu Tu had exposed her true colors, she suddenly felt a bit at fault.

After all.... counting it all, she schemed against Qiu Tu first, Qiu Tu saw through it, played along, and then betrayed her.

She has no way to criticize Qiu Tu anymore.

But now, with Qiu Tu presenting the facts in front of her, she had no way to deny it.

So after being silent for over ten seconds, she finally muttered, "I suppose so."

Seeing this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but show a smile.

Discussing to the point of leveling both their identities as "traitors" was actually laying the foundation for further conversation and cooperation.

And finally brought the conversation completely into Qiu Tu's rhythm.

"So... you were the one who schemed and betrayed me first."

"I only discovered it all, and protected myself."

After confirming the nature of the matter, Qiu Tu held Princess Xi's cold hand and gently said, "However... I don't blame you."

"I sympathize with and pity you after knowing your experience."

"The Lin Family, King Kang, the Queen! They are all beasts! Deserving of no sympathy!"

In fact, Qiu Tu was already a bit shocked and indignant about this matter. Although he deliberately amplified his emotions now, it was genuine.

Princess Xi, who had been pursuing revenge for many years, was naturally extremely sensitive. She keenly detected Qiu Tu's seemingly genuine emotions, and couldn't help but turn her head to look at Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu sensed Princess Xi's gaze and also turned to look at her.

Their gazes intertwined in the air.

One second, two seconds, Princess Xi slowly looked away.

Qiu Tu's heart became resolute again.

"Emotional Handbook" [108 Ways to Enhance Feelings] No. 69: No matter what kind of woman she is, she's emotional. Rationally analyzing problems for her is not as effective as joining her in cursing her enemies.

Moreover, don't worry about the relationship between the two of you. Even if your relationship isn't good, as long as you curse her enemies, she'll think differently of you later on.

She may even feel that she misunderstood you.

This is always one of the most effective ways to increase a woman's favorability and bridge the gap between you.

Thinking this way, Qiu Tu continued with his plan.

He timely reached out and put his arm around Princess Xi's shoulder, then said, "So, I actually want to help you with your revenge, to help you complete your plan."

After Qiu Tu exposed and accused King Kang and the Lin Family, thereby closing the gap, Princess Xi obviously didn't resist Qiu Tu as much as before.

Of course, she didn't just yield. Instead, she stiffened, expressionless as she asked, "How do you plan to help me with revenge, how to help me complete the plan?"

Qiu Tu, with one arm around Princess Xi's shoulder and the other holding her hand, began to speak,

"It's quite simple. First, your core purposes are twofold: to seize power and to take revenge on all who have harmed you."

"Let's talk about revenge first."

"Your political foundation is King Kang, this is your weakest point."

"Your previous plan was indeed good, effectively acquiring King Kang's political legacy without restraining yourself."

"However.... if you continue down this path, you'll never be able to get revenge on King Kang in this lifetime."

Princess Xi turned her head to look at Qiu Tu, a bit confused.

Qiu Tu looked down at her and said, "Do you only want to destroy King Kang physically?"

Princess Xi, being smart, was momentarily stunned by Qiu Tu's words, then sharply looked at him.

Qiu Tu nodded slightly, "Exactly."

"History is written by the successors and the victors."

"If King Kang had defeated the Yaksha and invaded the 'Boundless Heart Sea - Core Region', he would have established notable accomplishments and left a prominent mark in history."

"But the problem is... he didn't. He was not only defeated by the Yaksha but also retreated all the way back to the Sanctuary."

"In the following years, whether it was you poisoning him or whatever else happened, ultimately, he did not achieve anything."

"Therefore, his accomplishments and failures are open to much subjective reinterpretation."

Qiu Tu paused, then analyzed, "If he truly had descendants in the future, or if you truly inherited his legitimate authority."

"Then, to maintain rule, you must glorify his achievements and propagate his deeds to enhance your influence."

"You have no other choice and no way to affect King Kang's legacy."

"However, if the Sixth Sanctuary comes under our control, me and the Kou family. We will directly change the Sixth Sanctuary's 'political system' from a 'Dual Monarchic System' to a more scientific 'Democracy'."

"Since we won't be continuing King Kang's legitimate authority, King Kang can then be labeled as the 'last emperor attempting to reverse history and enforce feudal rule'."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Princess Xi's face suddenly showed a hint of realization.

Evidently, with her relatively limited life experience, her idea of "revenge" was confined to physical destruction.

These affairs regarding legacy hadn't crossed her mind.

However, after listening to Qiu Tu, inexplicably, she felt this was indeed a truly satisfying way!

What is a mere physical retaliation? To ruin him in the eyes of future generations, for hundreds and thousands of years, cursed by descendants, is truly revenge!

Seeing that Princess Xi was convinced, Qiu Tu continued, "Having talked about revenge, let's discuss seizing power."
