Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty!
Chapter 1389 - 607: The True Relationship Between Zhao Ji and Larilo
Perhaps sensing that unusual gaze from Qiu Tu, Larilo blinked her scarlet eyes and asked somewhat puzzledly, "Why do you seem so unhappy?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu turned around, quickly shook his head, and said, "I'm not unhappy. I'm just curious about how many treasure vaults your sister actually has, and how you found them."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, a sly smile appeared on Larilo's absolutely beautiful face.
She propped up her little delicate feet on the table with both hands and said with a smile, "My sister has way too many treasure vaults."
"Some are in the 'Edge Region', some in the 'core area', some she carries with her, and others are layered with restrictions."
If an ordinary person was chatting with Larilo about this, the conversation would probably end here without revealing anything wrong.
However, having been a human in two lifetimes and being from the Political Department in this life, Qiu Tu was exceedingly sensitive to various anomalies.
That's why he was stunned for a moment but immediately responded, "So many secret treasure vaults, you know them all?"
Larilo nodded her head and said proudly, "Of course."
She counted with her fingers, "My sister has 12 secret vaults; whether it's the hidden locations, the added restrictions, or the methods to break them, I know them all inside out."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu's gaze turned inscrutable.
He asked, "Then, do you still have memories of your travels with Her Highness Zhao Ji?"
This question from Qiu Tu was evidently unexpected for Larilo.
However, Qiu Tu now held such a high position in Larilo's heart.
So, Larilo hesitated for a moment, tilted her head, and earnestly pondered.
Shortly after, she exclaimed with delight, "Yes. I have memories of every place."
This answer was indeed somewhat unexpected for Qiu Tu.
He hesitated, then asked again, "So do you have memories of growing up with Her Highness Zhao Ji?"
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's question, this time Larilo hesitantly said, "How could I have memories from my entire childhood?"
"We deities are born as deities."
Recalling, she said, "In my memory, my sister and I were born together."
"It's just that at that time, she was very weak and even needed me to protect her."
Qiu Tu's heart stirred slightly, and he asked, "When was that?"
This time, Larilo seemed a bit unsure, lightly biting her blood-red lips as she pondered silently for a long time before speaking, "It should be decades ago."
Reflecting, she said, "After that, my sister took us on the run, escaping from the 'Boundless Heart Sea' to the 'Edge Region'.
"During this period, we encountered many pursuits; many wanted to capture us."
"But fortunately, under my sister's scheming, we safely escaped danger and fled all the way to the 'Edge Region'.
"After crossing the 'Isolation Mountains', deities above the 6th rank couldn't follow us."
"My sister and I went incognito, traveling from the 'Southeast Region' to the 'Northwest Region'.
At this point, Larilo's thoughts became increasingly clear, and she swayed her crystalline little feet while saying, "Afterwards, we settled in the 'Northwest Region' and began developing together."
Having said this, Larilo's scarlet eyes fell on Qiu Tu, and she said, "And finally...we met you."
Upon hearing Larilo's words, Qiu Tu slightly nodded his head.
Though his facial expression remained unchanged, his heart was thrown into tumult.
Larilo's words, on the surface, seemed without issues. But in truth, there was one major problem: the timeline was chaotic.
Larilo said Zhao Ji hid over a dozen treasure vaults, and she knew all the methods of their restrictions.
Yet she also mentioned they were born decades ago and fled to the 'Northwest Region'.
This raises a question. It is known that Zhao Ji is the 'Heavenly God Reincarnation'. So when did Zhao Ji become a 'Heavenly God'?
Moreover, Zhao Ji and Larilo fled together to the 'Northwest Region'. During that escape, it was difficult for Zhao Ji to hide treasure vaults.
Thus, she likely established secret treasure vaults after becoming a 'Heavenly God', anticipating future needs.
Additionally, in Qiu Tu's memory, the records of Zhao Ji and Larilo reveal that they began to make their presence known in the 'Northwest Region' ten years ago. This doesn't match "decades ago".
So...considering all these factors, Qiu Tu believes Larilo's memory might have some issues.
This is likely related to Larilo and Zhao Ji's identities.....
Moreover, having spent so much time with the sisters, Qiu Tu vaguely guessed a truth about their relationship....
And at this moment, possibly noticing the slightly unusual look in Qiu Tu's eyes, Larilo gave him a strange glance, then asked, "Qiu Tu, do you feel something's not right?"
Hearing Larilo's words, Qiu Tu snapped out of it.
He didn't voice his suspicions but decisively changed the subject, "Nothing, nothing. I...just feel you're too good to me."
At this, he paused and said, "And, I'm also worried that you stole your sister Zhao Ji's treasure vault for me, which might make her angry."
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Larilo proudly patted her chest and said, "Don't worry. She's been angry about this countless times already."
Qiu Tu: ?
Larilo looked at Qiu Tu, then said, "Besides, you can't blame me for this. It's you who has the problem - you can be deafeningly charming."
