Chapter 814 Zhao Ji: I hope I don't fall for Qiu Tu? (Seeking monthly votes)

Upon hearing Lariluo's words and seeing Zhao Ji's icy expression, Qiu Tu quickly put Lariluo down from his carrying pole.

Then he quickly said, "Sister Zhaoji, let me explain."

La Riluo, seeing that Qiu Tu had "left her behind," crossed her arms, rolled her eyes, and pouted unhappily.

Having been by Qiu Tu's side for so many years, she knew that although Qiu Tu was power-hungry and lustful, he was actually incredibly rational.

If you want to stay by Qiu Tu's side, you can't interfere with his important business.

Qiu Tu's real business was clearly Zhao Ji.

So although she was unhappy, she didn't do anything about it.

However, to be honest, she didn't think Zhao Ji would listen to Qiu Tu's explanation.

She had been by her sister's side ever since she could remember. She knew that her sister was of noble character, intolerant of injustice, and had a domineering style.

Although her older sister has developed some feelings for Qiu Tu, the stronger those feelings are, the more her sister doesn't want Qiu Tu to have other women around him, especially herself.

It's even possible that because they are sisters, her older sister might be able to accept Qiu Tu having other women around her, but she wouldn't be able to accept her.

Larilu had often suspected that Zhao Ji's placement of the restriction on herself wasn't simply to protect herself, but also for Qiu Tu's sake.
Furthermore, it's important to understand that advancing to the next level or exiting a level isn't something that happens in an instant.

Therefore, the fact that Zhao Ji just emerged from seclusion doesn't mean she just regained her senses. It's very likely that her sister overheard her conversation with Qiu Tu and Zhiyan and her daughter.

Therefore, it is very likely that her older sister knew that she had taken advantage of Qiu Tu's seclusion and gotten ahead of him.

In that case, her own sister would find it even more unacceptable.

To her surprise, after hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji actually slowly shifted her gaze to Qiu Tu's face. Although she didn't say a word, she seemed to be waiting for Qiu Tu to explain.

La Riluo was startled by this scene. Then she peeked at Zhao Ji and then at Qiu Tu.

At this moment, Qiu Tu leaned close to Zhao Ji and whispered a few words to her.

Lari Luo perked up her little ears, wanting to eavesdrop on what Qiu Tu was explaining.

But whether Qiu Tu was communicating telepathically or had simply set up a soundproof array, she couldn't hear anything at all.

All she could see was that her sister's gaze seemed to flicker slightly when she heard Qiu Tu's words, and then she glanced at her.

Immediately afterwards, her older sister looked at Qiu Tu again, her lips moving slightly, as if she were also asking telepathically to confirm.

Qiu Tu nodded slightly, his eyes resolute.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Ji softly hummed in agreement.

Suddenly hearing Zhao Ji's voice, La Ri Luo quickly looked at the two of them.

Then she saw her stunningly beautiful older sister coldly instruct, "Alright, then you can continue."

"I have just advanced, and my realm is still unstable. I need to consolidate it for another night."

After saying that, Zhao Ji glanced at La Ri Luo again indifferently, then turned and went back to her bedroom.

Lari's eyes widened slightly, her expression filled with confusion. "Huh?"

'You're leaving already?'

What did Qiu Tu say to his sister?

Larilu couldn't help but glance at Qiu Tu, who was calmly watching her sister's back, and blinked.

Although she knew long ago that Qiu Tu was good at lying and had been manipulating her sister all these years, she really didn't expect that Qiu Tu could still cover it up even after the two of them were in this situation.

Did her older sister change her ways, or was Qiu Tu just too good at conning people?
Thinking of this, La Riluo turned her little head slightly and blinked her eyes: Could it be that her sister was superstitious because of the restrictions she had placed?

But shouldn't Qiu Tu give a reasonable explanation?
Thinking this, Larilu felt even more curious.

So, after Zhao Ji's figure disappeared from the bedroom, La Ri Luo quickly came forward and asked via telepathy, "Qiu Tu, didn't my sister hear what we were saying?"

Hearing Larilu's words, Qiu Tu gave her a strange look and said, "I heard you. What's wrong?"

Larilu, "Huh?"

She asked, somewhat surprised, "Then how did you explain it? She wasn't angry?"

Qiu Tu said nonchalantly, "I didn't explain much. I just told her that we humans have a very exclusive view of love. If you like a girl, you have to like everything about her."

"Including her sisters and best friends."

Lari Luo: ?
Larilu looked at Qiu Tu in astonishment, almost thinking he had gone mad.

Just then, she saw Qiu Tu's slightly upturned lips and realized that Qiu Tu was playing a trick on her!
She punched Qiu Tu lightly in embarrassment and annoyance, "You lied to me!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu chuckled twice, then grabbed La Riluo's arm, lowered his body, and lifted her up again.

"Oh dear?" La Riluo was surprised that Qiu Tu dared to act so intimately after Zhao Ji woke up, and she couldn't help but exclaim twice.

But Qiu Tu laughed and said, "Didn't you just say I couldn't do it? Come on! I'll show you whether I can or not!"

With that, Qiu Tu carried La Ri Luo and actually went to the second bedroom.

Larilu was completely dumbfounded by what she saw. She could hardly tell whether Qiu Tu was serious or joking.

Fortunately, once they arrived at the second bedroom, Qiu Tu didn't tease La Ri Luo anymore.

He casually set up a magic circle, then threw Lariluo onto the bed, before transmitting his voice, "Your Highness, you're too guilty."

"You practically have the things you did to wrong Sister Zhaoji written all over your face."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, La Riluo realized that she had indeed felt a little guilty just now.

She and Qiu Tu had a close relationship before, and even some inappropriate behavior. What's the big deal about hugging and cuddling now?

Thinking this, she couldn't help but feel annoyed. Then she looked at Qiu Tu and asked, "So that's why you acted so indifferent just now? And continued to be affectionate with me?"

Qiu Tu gave a faint "hmm".

Larilu asked again, "So how did you manage to cover it up?"

Qiu Tu gave her a deep look and said, "Does this need to be rounded?"

"Weren't we just joking? If we try to cover up this lie, won't it just make things look weirder?"

La Riluo looked up at Qiu Tu and felt that what Qiu Tu said made a lot of sense.

But she wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she always felt that this wasn't the truth, and that Qiu Tu was hiding something from her.

Just then, Qiu Tu said, "Alright, stop overthinking it. Take it off."

Larilu looked at Qiu Tu and exclaimed "Ah?" again. In just two minutes, Larilu was shocked by Qiu Tu three times.

But now that Zhao Ji has emerged from seclusion, she dares not do anything with Qiu Tu under Zhao Ji's nose.

Zhao Ji might not kill Qiu Tu, but she might very well kill herself with a single sword stroke.

So she quickly grabbed her collar, burst through the door, and disappeared in a flash.

She decided it was best to lay low for a while; there was something fishy about those two!
Although she didn't know how Qiu Tu had covered it up or how he planned to get himself and his sister to coexist peacefully, she didn't care anymore!

She has her own rhythm.

She still holds Zhao Ji's "lifeline" in her hands, and can transmit the enjoyment she and Qiu Tu have had these past few days to her sister at any time.

When the time comes, I'll take care of the relationship myself. Whatever they're plotting is none of my business!

The only problem was that Qiu Tu reminded him that he shouldn't have felt so guilty just now.

Anyway, I met Qiu Tu first, so what's wrong with sleeping with Qiu Tu first?

The truth is on my side!

Thinking this way, Lariluo suddenly felt justified.

At this moment, Qiu Tu watched La Riluo's retreating figure and smiled silently.

He felt that Larilu wasn't that stupid; she knew he hadn't told the truth.

In fact, Qiu Tu's first reaction was to use the same excuse he had just given to fob off Zhao Ji.

However, he knew that with Zehime's perceptive mind, she must have discovered the closer relationship between him and Larilu, which was why she was angry. So, he ultimately didn't choose to make excuses, but instead used another method: a reasonable reason + diverting her attention.

He told Zhao Ji that he and La Ri Luo had indeed gotten closer these past few days, but there was a reason for it.

While in a hurry to go into seclusion, Qiu Tu discovered that La Riluo seemed to have some health problems.

He initially didn't know what had happened, so he could only find excuses to check Lariro's body every night.

Before he could even diagnose Lariel's problem, he suddenly noticed that Jasmine seemed unusually concerned about Lariel. And this concern even surpassed her concern for Zehime.

He suspected that Jasmine was probably plotting something, and Larilu was likely part of it.

What Qiu Tu was talking about was the intelligence he had collected over this period of time.

In contrast, Zhao Ji knew even more details than he did. Therefore, Zhao Ji immediately believed Qiu Tu's story.

And attention was diverted to Lariro's physical condition.

Furthermore, Zhao Ji was unaware that La Ri Luo had broken the "mutual perception" between the two, which allowed perception to be delayed, which is why Qiu Tu was able to smooth things over so easily.

Of course, more importantly, Qiu Tu and La Ri Luo had always had a very ambiguous relationship, which Zhao Ji had long been used to.

To be honest, if Lariluo hadn't acted so nervous and guilty just now, and if the conversation between the group hadn't gone too far, Qiu Tu wouldn't have even needed to cover this up.

Qiu Tu even suspected that Zhao Ji didn't care about this matter at all. She just wanted to see his attitude.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu slowly brought his thoughts back to the present.

In fact, even without his intervention, he planned to inform Lady Zhao about Larilu's situation after she emerged from seclusion.

After all, Zhao Ji is now a fourth-level God King, and her true strength has even reached the level of a Guardian God King.

With Qiu Tu's cooperation, the two have begun to have the ability to compete with high-level god-kings.

'It's time to investigate how Xiaola was born, and what Jasmine is plotting.'

Right now, the "Immortal Tomb" is stirring up trouble in the "West," and the "Destruction Tyrant" is on his way. The entire "West" is about to face chaos.

This might be a good opportunity for the two to take advantage of the situation.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look towards the direction of the "Chaotic Western Capital" in the west. Just then, Elena urged him to exchange prisoners, so he and his companions could go and take a look.
Meanwhile, in Qiu Tu's bedroom.

Having just successfully advanced, Zhao Ji sat cross-legged, quietly consolidating her realm.

In fact, normally speaking, with Zhao Ji's talent, she wouldn't need to stabilize her cultivation level at all. And given her temperament, even if she needed to stabilize her cultivation level, she should have done so before leaving the room.

But just now she really couldn't help herself.

She had finally finished accumulating knowledge, her thoughts had just returned, and she was in a state of tranquility, preparing for the final push.

At this point, the deity is actually one foot in a new realm, and their spiritual energy fluctuations are at their most intense.

So, during the fluctuation of her mental energy, she happened to overhear the conversation between Qiu Tu, La Riluo, and Zhiyan and her daughter.

To be honest, she always thought she had a good temperament and wouldn't be influenced by external things.

But only heaven knows how intensely her emotions were at that moment!
It was precisely because of the intense fluctuations in her mind that she couldn't suppress her cultivation level and erupted without being fully prepared.

Although she successfully advanced, her position is indeed somewhat unstable, and she needs to spend another half a day to make up for it.

What surprised her even more was that, normally, she should have stabilized her cultivation level before going out to meet the others.

As a result, she couldn't even hold back for a second after successfully advancing, and immediately stepped out.

Even without looking in a mirror, she knew her face must have looked terrible.

But Larilu's unusual guilty conscience seemed to prove that her "worries" were indeed true.

Don't forget, you and Qiu Tu actually have no relationship now. It's always been La Riluo who's pursuing Qiu Tu, while you've never shown him any interest.

So what is Larilu feeling guilty about?
Fortunately, Qiu Tu came to his defense at this moment.

Although that explanation only further proved that the relationship between the two had progressed rapidly in the past two days.

But for some reason, after learning that the two of them were not really together, Zhao Ji finally felt relieved.

Only then did she belatedly realize that Larilu was still bound by her seal and restraint. In the first place, nothing could have happened between her and Qiu Tu.

Having calmed her mind, she returned without any worries to consolidate her cultivation level.

However, while stabilizing her realm, she suddenly discovered an even more important problem:
Why should I worry about what might happen between Qiu Tu and La Riluo?
From what standpoint should I listen to Qiu Tu's explanation?

Zeki was a very perceptive person.

After making this discovery, she discovered something "terrifying":

Perhaps she has been deceiving herself all along?

Could she really have feelings for Qiu Tu?

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji had no time to care about the matter between Qiu Tu and La Riluo. Her own mind began to churn violently.
