Then let them show their loyalty!

Chapter 819 Zhao Ji: I'm going to kill them (Seeking monthly votes)
In the land of the god of wine, in Qiu Tu's bedroom.

Zhao Ji sat on Qiu Tu's bed, staring blankly at the wall.

She has been in this position for almost the entire time since Qiu Tu left.

Actually, there were a few times during this period when she thought about getting up and not sitting on Qiu Tu's bed—after all, a person's bed can be said to be the most private piece of furniture. She and Qiu Tu were not related, and now they were very likely to part ways, so she should be careful about her behavior.

However, when she thought about how she was in Qiu Tu's bedroom, which was also a very private space, Zhao Ji felt that she didn't need to care about these details.

After all, she had helped Qiu Tu more than once over the years, so what was a little sitting on Qiu Tu's bed?
This is Qiu Tu's "repayment"!
Right, that is it.

Thinking this, Zhao Ji continued to sit silently on Qiu Tu's bed, lost in thought.

While lost in thought, Zhao Ji kept thinking about what Qiu Tu had said that afternoon and the plans he had made for her.

To be honest, Qiu Tu was very sincere this afternoon, so sincere that Zhao Ji almost felt she had misunderstood him.

However, after Qiu Tu left, Zhao Ji recalled the bits and pieces of her and Qiu Tu's life over the years, especially Qiu Tu's every micro-expression and every meaningful word he said.

Then, she confirmed once again that she hadn't misunderstood Qiu Tu before; Qiu Tu had indeed been using tactics against her all these years. From the very beginning, Qiu Tu had been deliberately approaching her, trying to please her, and scheming to exploit her.

As for sincerity now.
Thinking of Zhao Ji's fair, snow-white face, a sense of bewilderment crept in.

'Perhaps... he's just gotten better at disguising himself?'

Thinking this way, perhaps feeling it was a bit unfair to Qiu Tu, Zhao Ji paused for two seconds before adding in her mind, 'Or perhaps... he's changed now?'

After another two seconds of silence, Zhao Ji's expression returned to its usual coldness.

Of course. Even if things have changed now, it doesn't mean what he did before was right. Nor does it mean we can forgive him.

Thinking about this, Zhao Ji, who had been confused all afternoon, felt as if she had finally sorted everything out.

However, even after understanding Qiu Tu's changes, Zhao Ji still didn't quite know how to get along with him.

Is it a complete break? Or pretending it never happened, but harboring reservations about him from then on? Or is it completely forgiving Qiu Tu?
It was precisely because her own "heart" was not in harmony that Zhao Ji stayed in Qiu Tu's bedroom and did not go out for a long time.

She's like someone who's drawn a circle around herself, trapping herself inside: both her body and her heart.
Perhaps, only when she truly understands her own heart, or when she encounters some unexpected situation, will she step out.
As a high-ranking member of the "Temple of Order - West Branch", Qiu Tu's daily life is usually taken care of by trained maids.

However, during this time, Zhao Ji occupied Qiu Tu's bedroom and advanced in rank there, so Qiu Tu also sent all the maids to other courtyards.

After Zhao Ji left the pass, she had a falling out with Qiu Tu, so no maids came to serve her tonight, and no one even came to light the lamps.

So, as the sun slowly set in the "Land of Dionysus," the bedroom gradually fell into darkness.

In the darkness, the five senses of living beings become particularly strong, so before long, Zhao Ji, who was thinking about Qiu Tu, sensed that something was wrong.

She felt her body slowly getting warmer, a strange sensation gradually eroding her.

The feeling was strange; it was a little shameful, a little wonderful, and even a little expectant.

The sudden feeling left Zhao Ji somewhat bewildered.

Perhaps because her thoughts were completely focused on Qiu Tu during this time, she didn't realize what she was going through for a moment.

Then, a few seconds later, Zhao Ji suddenly found that her waist was starting to feel weak, her legs were starting to tremble, and even the humidity in the air seemed to be increasing.

Even more terrifying, Zhao Ji felt as if an invisible, transparent hand was roaming over her body, and perhaps because she was thinking about Qiu Tu, she even felt that the hand stroking her was Qiu Tu's!

For a moment, Zhao Ji was dumbfounded.

'Could it be that I've been thinking about Qiu Tu so much that I'm hallucinating?'

However, the thought only flashed through her mind for a moment before Zehime realized what was going on.

She is a god-king, immune to all evil. She doesn't even dream, let alone hallucinate. How could she suddenly exhibit such abnormality?

So, it's obvious that someone is sabotaging this!
With that in mind, how could Zhao Ji not know what had happened? So the next second, her eyes widened suddenly, and she took a deep breath!

'La Riro!'

Thinking of her good-for-nothing younger sister who always liked to cause trouble, Zhao Ji couldn't help but grit her teeth in hatred.

As a part of her own body, Zehime's feelings towards Lariro have always been very complicated.

She had high hopes for Lariluo, hoping that Lariluo could live up to her expectations and show the glory of her past life; but when Lariluo did not develop as she expected, especially after she kept dragging her down, she wished she could destroy her and then "delete" the account and start over.

In fact, what Zehime didn't understand was that her feelings for Lariro weren't those of sisters, but rather more like those of a mother and daughter.

Today is clearly another day where the "naughty child" has caused trouble, which then affects the "parents".

Moreover, just like many parents who are ashamed to talk to their children about "certain aspects," Zehime has never liked to talk to Lariro about "those aspects."

This is also an important reason why Zehime sealed Lariro's lower body.

As a result, now Larilu has not only broken the seal by some unknown means, but has also started to act recklessly behind Zhaoji's back, and has even gone further!
Lariel used to play by herself, but now she's actually starting to interact with others?!

How could this not make Lady Zhaoji angry!
This is like a mother watching her daughter being taken advantage of.

More importantly, whether it was because she had been thinking about Qiu Tu all day, or because of some kind of premonition, Zhao Ji felt that the hands that were rhythmically stroking her body were Qiu Tu's!

After all, Zhao Ji had previously healed Qiu Tu in the dark. She remembered the lines and feel of Qiu Tu's hands, which were exactly the same as those on La Ri Luo's body now!
This discovery made Zhao Ji's face even colder and more frosty.

She wasn't really jealous. She just couldn't believe that Qiu Tu had pledged his loyalty to her during the day, only to sneak off and sleep with her younger sister that night—was that something a human being would do?!
Thinking this, Zhao Ji's already cold eyes became even colder. They were like a pearl immersed in a deep, icy pool, radiating a chill that could freeze a person to death.

'I'm going to kill them.' With that thought, Zeji slowly drew her sword and strode outside.

Just as she stepped out the door, her body suddenly jolted, and she involuntarily let out a muffled thud, her face changing drastically.

She clutched her lower abdomen, her face turning ashen.

'How dare they!'

Thinking this, Zhao Ji could no longer suppress her anger. Her iceberg-like body transformed into a volcano, her eyes burning with raging flames. Then, she suddenly unleashed an astonishing aura, soaring into the sky and heading towards La Ri Luo's direction!

Zhao Ji's true strength is now comparable to that of the Guardian God King, so when her aura erupted, all the God Kings in the entire "Wine God Kingdom" changed their expressions and looked in her direction as if sensing something.

"Guarding the aura of a God-King level?"

In the courtyard of the Heavy Stone God King, the Heavy Stone God King, who was as large as a small mountain, suddenly looked up. Like a stone Buddha, his gaze, devoid of joy or sorrow, turned toward the direction where Zhao Ji was, and his brows furrowed.

Outside the Dionysus Palace, Qing'e, who was tidying up and preparing to leave work, was also taken aback and suddenly looked up in the direction of Zhao Ji.

"It's Zhao Ji's aura. But... a guardian god-king level?! How is that possible?"

It is important to know that the aura of a deity cannot be concealed without special means. And since Zhao Ji had just advanced in rank two days ago, Qing'e certainly hadn't forgotten this aura.

And Qing'e is certainly not a fool to become Elena's assistant.

So when she came to her senses, she immediately realized something was wrong.

'Wait a minute. Didn't Zhao Ji fail to advance the day before yesterday?'

Qing'e recalled her memories from the day before yesterday, and after confirming that her memory was correct, the expression on her face slowly disappeared.

She remained silent for a few seconds, then turned her head to look at the magnificent "Palace of Dionysus" in front of her.

The ruler of a small world can be said to be omniscient and omnipotent. If He so desires, nothing that happens in this world can escape His notice.

Therefore, it was impossible for Him to be kept in the dark about Lady Zhao's successful promotion.
As a fourth-level god-king, only one person in the entire "God of Wine Kingdom" could deceive his own senses.

In that instant, Qing'e's gaze seemed to pierce through the Palace of the God of Wine, and she saw the figure perched high on the throne, seemingly forever drunk.
So, Your Majesty is covering for Qiu Tu?

For some reason, Qing'e felt that Qiu Tu and Elena's relationship was much closer than she had thought.
The gods could sense auras quickly, but Zhao Ji could fly even faster.

Because of her subtle connection with Lariro, and fueled by her rage, Zehime arrived above Lariro's village in an instant.

And now, it just so happens that some god-kings are coming to show their loyalty to Qiu Tu for the merit of exchanging prisoners, so Zhao Ji flew over with her sword in hand and a fierce aura. All the god-kings reflexively looked up in that direction, not knowing what was going on.

Zhao Ji completely ignored the gazes of the outsiders. After arriving at La Ri Luo's courtyard, she flashed forward, smashed down La Ri Luo's door, and barged inside!

Catch thieves and stolen goods, and catch traitors and couples.

Zhao Ji originally thought that once she barged in, she would definitely see Qiu Tu and La Ri Luo's overlapping figures! At that time, she would definitely question La Ri Luo and Qiu Tu about what they were doing! She might even draw her sword and kill them!

As a result, amidst the falling wood chips, Zhao Ji didn't see Qiu Tu. In the entire room, only La Ri Luo lay on the bed, transformed into a little gamer, playing QQ Farm.

Perhaps "unexpected" that Zhao Ji would break in, La Ri Luo screamed in terror when she found the door had been smashed open, and then quickly grabbed the blanket next to her and covered herself with it.

But because of the haste, even with the blanket covering her, it could only cover her body, leaving her slender, fair legs partially exposed. This coy, half-hidden pose perfectly captured the allure of a woman who had already reached adulthood.

In fact, normally, given Zhao Ji's quick wit, she should have been able to notice the difference in La Ri Luo's expression and state, but right now she is completely focused on "catching her husband cheating."

So, when she burst through the door and found that the room was not the same as her own, Zhao Ji was a little confused.

She stared blankly at La Riluo screaming before her, and at Qiu Tu who had "disappeared without a trace."

'Could it be that I've misunderstood again?'

As Zhao Ji thought this, the sensation transmitted from La Ri Luo slowly disappeared, as if confirming Zhao Ji's guess.

However, Zhao Ji was not so easily fooled. So her gaze sharpened, and then her powerful mental energy suddenly spread out in all directions, searching for Qiu Tu's figure.

Qiu Tu had been receiving the god-kings who came to pledge allegiance to him all night, so he didn't bother to conceal his presence.

This also meant that Zhao Ji was able to find Qiu Tu's figure with just a scan of her mental energy.

Contrary to her expectations, Qiu Tu was not frantically dressing and running away, but was instead discussing with a god-king the matter of exchanging prisoners in the "Chaotic Western Capital".

The only things placed in front of them were warm tea and a few words from a conversation, indicating that they had been talking for some time.

Because Zhao Ji was in a fit of rage, she used her spiritual power almost without restraint, which led Qiu Tu and the God King to both become aware of it.

Qiu Tu frowned slightly, then said, "Sealed God King, let's call it a day. We can talk about it again tomorrow before we set off."

In fact, the Sealed God King had already sensed Zhao Ji's astonishing aura. However, he was chatting with Qiu Tu the whole time, so he couldn't ask her about it.

Now that Qiu Tu has taken the initiative to end the conversation, he can go out and see what's going on outside.

So he quickly nodded and got up to leave.

After seeing him off, Qiu Tu instructed Guan Xiao to speak with the deities on his behalf, while he himself flew towards La Riluo's courtyard with questions in mind.

Meanwhile, in Lariluo's courtyard, Zhao Ji, who had witnessed the entire process, kept changing her expression.

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang in her ears, "Xi Yue, your heart is in turmoil."
