"It seems like fighting has broken out in Wangbei City."

"There are reports of multiple High Order Catastrophists battling in Wangbei City."

"It should be the Royalists clashing with Qiu Tu's side."

"I've sensed the presence of several Fifth-Order Calamity Beings."

"Report it, report it quickly!"

The mobilization of the army from Dongye State was not a matter of just one or two days; it's been more than a week. So during these days, no matter their sensitivity or lack thereof, almost all factions have guessed Qiu Tu and Princess Xi's plan.

—Using the excuse of the envoy group's murder to meddle in the Sixth Sanctuary and jointly deal with the Kou family.

This conclusion, accompanied by the army's movements from Dongye State and Princess Xi's welcoming posture, has long become the consensus among all the high-levels in the Northwestern Region.

All high-levels in the Northwestern Region accepted the collaboration between Qiu Tu and Princess Xi and were also waiting for the great upheaval in the Sixth Sanctuary, which hadn't occurred for decades.

And yet.... who could have known that the two would fall out? And even start fighting?

This sudden reversal indeed caught everyone off guard.

Many high-levels at first couldn't help but wonder: Could it be..... they were overthinking? Could Qiu Tu's people really be there to deal with the envoy group's murder case?

Then.... negotiations failed, and Princess Xi's side was overbearing, leading to a fight?

Is this world really just a huge makeshift troupe?

However, after the initial shock of hearing this news, more high-levels still detected something amiss....

.....

The Eighth Sanctuary, Rao Shou's courtyard.

Rao Shou wasn't fishing today; instead, he was playing chess with Tang Wanfeng.

Rao Shou played white, Tang Wanfeng played black, and they chatted about the situation at the Sixth Sanctuary as they played.

"Plack." As he placed a white piece on the board, Rao Shou spoke slowly, eyes fixed on the board, "Qiu Tu is really someone who doesn't play by the rules."

"Originally, people thought he was working with Princess Xi, but now it seems like his real partner is the Kou family."

Tang Wanfeng also focused on the board, then slightly nodded, "Yes."

"I've heard.... not long ago, Su Wanqing, one of the Ten Outstanding of the Kou family, went to Dongye State and talked with him multiple times."

"Most likely, it was during that time that she persuaded him."

Hearing this, Rao Shou's eyes showed a trace of deep thought, "Su Wanqing...."

He commented, "That girl is certainly not simple."

He sat up straight, gazed into the distance, and then said, "Some things you have to admit, perhaps something like Qi Yun really exists in this world."

"A family with two prodigies, the Ten Outstanding. Each one a genius beyond words."

"This generation of the Kou family has indeed reached a time of prosperity."

"Collaborating with the Kou family"

1500-2500-One hour ago, when Qiu Tu kissed Larilo, he discovered that Evil Gods.... seem somewhat different from ordinary humans.

Their lips and bodies felt softer? More tender? With a higher temperature?

So, even this simple trick made Qiu Tu feel an extreme pleasure.

'Is this the taste of an Evil God?'

'It's really not bad!'

Perhaps feeling Qiu Tu awakening, Larilo began to move more vigorously.

Soon, Qiu Tu, left with no choice, surrendered foaming at the mouth.

After the first round, Qiu Tu wanted to have a good conversation with Larilo and ask why she returned.

Yet before he could open his mouth, in the next second, Larilo immediately switched tactics, using her fair chest to console Qiu Tu's brother.

Qiu Tu was momentarily dazed, instinctively feeling something was off.

However..... Larilo didn't give him a chance to explain or resist, directly coaxing him, forcibly awakening Qiu Tu's brother.

To be honest, men, these creatures, really are big-headed sons, small-headed dads.

So Qiu Tu truly wanted to show some resolve. But.... some things, resolve alone isn't enough.

So.... in the end, Qiu Tu still lay face-up on the bed, silently comforting himself, 'Forget it, it's all just about pleasing oneself.'

'So what if she's a little excessive? As long as she's willing to care for me.'

Just like that, it was a night of absurdity.

----------

As he was thinking this, Fang Tangtang shyly covered her face and untied her waist sash.

In the next second, the bathrobe slipped off, revealing a body as pure as white jade, exquisitely carved.

Qiu Tu:.....

Qiu Tu admitted that, at that moment, his heartbeat seemed to speed up for an instant.

But after all, he was a decent person. And besides, he still planned to read this philosophical work tonight!

So, he lowered his head to look at the book "Existence" in his hands, one glance, two glances.... then continued reading!

'To hell with "Existence", the meaning of "Existence" lies in Cao currency!'

Thinking those extremely vulgar, philosophy-insulting thoughts, Qiu Tu jumped off the bed, picked Fang Tangtang up amidst her startled shrieks, and pressed her onto the bed....

The Blue Moon blushed, pulling clouds to veil its face.

That night, Qiu Tu and Fang Tangtang indulged until midnight.

Fang Tangtang seemed to have really placed herself in the role of a girlfriend, even though Qiu Tu noticed several times she slightly frowned, and yesterday's "wound" evidently hadn't completely healed, she still swayed seriously, coordinating with Qiu Tu....

And Qiu Tu once again experienced how soft and comfortable the near-E facial cleanser could be....

'Facial cleanser is indeed best when used personally!'

With this thought, Qiu Tu also imparted all his knowledge to Fang Tangtang, teaching her to relieve and bring enlightenment.....

After all, as the Deputy Minister of the Political Department, he inherently held the power over life and death.
