Chapter 839 Li Feng: He Wants to Be My Father? (Win an iPad)

Although they knew that Qiu Tu had never failed in all these years, the members of the envoy group were still a little surprised that Qiu Tu had settled everything so quickly.

On the way back to the "Kingdom of the God of Wine," General Li Feng approached Qiu Tu and whispered, "Speaker, have you brought back the prisoners from the 'Chaotic Western Capital'?"

Qiu Tu's thoughts were still immersed in his conversation with the man in white, analyzing every detail and trying to obtain as much information as possible.

Thanks to his god-king-level super memory, Qiu Tu perfectly replicated every detail of the entire palace and the entire conversation in his mind.

When Qiu Tu gave Elena a special massage some time ago, Elena mentioned that she had god-king level memory.

According to Elena, 120 years ago, a little girl looked at her with tears in her eyes, and even today, 120 years later, Elena can still clearly remember the little girl's trembling eyelashes when she cried.
By the way, that little girl is none other than Qing'e, the Goddess King, who is currently beside Qiu Tu.
The God-King's memory is terrifying; it's like a camera, capable of reproducing things with unparalleled precision.

This memory, combined with Qiu Tu's exceptional calculation ability, complements each other, making it easier for Qiu Tu to identify and fill in gaps in his knowledge. It also fostered in Qiu Tu the habit of reviewing his work multiple times after experiencing any major event to avoid misjudgments.

Therefore, upon hearing General Li Feng's words, Qiu Tu, while continuing to review his memories of his conversation with Bai Yi, also spared a sliver of his attention to answer Li Feng's question, "Yes, I brought them all back."

Compared to her mother, Heavenly King Zhiyan, General Li Feng was clearly less eloquent. Therefore, after Qiu Tu simply answered the question, she was momentarily at a loss for words.

So she opened her mouth several times, but ultimately kept it closed.

Just then, a warm hand gently patted her shoulder.

General Li Feng couldn't help but look in the direction of that hand, and then he saw that Heavenly King Zhiyan had come to her side at some point.

After giving General Li Feng a reassuring look, Heavenly King Zhiyan took her hand and then said to Qiu Tu, "I was very worried about you these past two days while you were gone."

Qiu Tu could neglect Li Feng, but he certainly couldn't neglect Heavenly King Zhiyan. So he paused his memories and tilted his head to look over.

Although the mother and daughter are more than twenty years apart in age, they look like sisters because they both became gods and maintained their youth forever.

The only difference is that Heavenly King Zhiyan appears more mature and gentle, and her long-standing high position has given her a more reserved and noble demeanor.

Li Feng is different. Perhaps because of her military background, she is passionate but also rather simple-minded.

In addition, Qiu Tu's strength and status are now far behind hers, so she clearly doesn't know how to get along with him.

However, it was precisely because of this mindset that she appeared somewhat inexperienced standing next to King Zhiyan.

This allows the mother and daughter to complement each other, making their own temperament even more prominent.

At this moment, seeing that she had caught Qiu Tu's attention, Heavenly King Zhiyan tidied her stray hairs and said, "Don't keep things bottled up inside. You can tell us."

"Although we are not strong enough, we can still help you come up with ideas, or at least let you vent the pressure in your heart."

Although Qiu Tu knew that Zhiyan was talking about serious matters, the word "venting" still felt strange to him because of their relationship.

However, King Zhiyan was right about one thing: two heads are better than one. Qiu Tu currently has limited information, and everything is purely speculation. Furthermore, an individual has their own thought processes and can easily fall into mental traps. Therefore, he could indeed talk to a few people.

With this in mind, Qiu Tu made a decision.

He looked at Heavenly King Zhiyan and then said, "What you said makes sense."

"Then come to my tent tonight, and I'll input the intelligence into you so you can vent your stress."

Hearing Qiu Tu's double entendre, even though Zhiyan Tianwang was a mature woman, her face still couldn't help but blush slightly.

Li Feng: ? ?

Although Li Feng didn't know much about matters of the heart, she could still tell the difference between basic flirting and banter.

Why does the conversation between my mother and Qiu Tu sound so strange?
Am I overthinking things, or is there really something going on between the two of them?

Thinking this, Li Feng kept a straight face, but glanced at Qiu Tu and then at her mother.

Li Feng wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but although there was nothing wrong with their expressions, she felt that the two of them were exchanging glances.

Combined with her mother's occasional strange behavior and Qiu Tu's consistently indifferent attitude towards her,
A moment later, a bold guess formed in Li Feng's mind:

I want you to be my boyfriend, but you want to be my dad?

Thinking this, Li Feng was surprised by her own wild imagination.

However, although she had this thought in mind, she felt that things shouldn't be that bad yet.
Anyway, my mom is going to exchange information with Qiu Tu tonight.

'Or should I sneak over and take a look?'

Thinking this through, Li Feng couldn't help but hesitate.

After all, she knew that spying at night was a bad thing.

'Or maybe we should just forget about it?'

As soon as this idea came to mind, Li Feng felt unwilling to give up.

Her facial expressions kept changing, and she was also engaged in a fierce internal struggle.

Qiu Tu and Zhiyan are both very shrewd. Even if Li Feng tries her best to disguise herself, she is still too naive in front of these two old foxes.

Therefore, noticing that something seemed off about Li Feng, Qiu Tu took the initiative to speak up, saying, "General Li Feng seems to have always been very interested in these intelligence-related tasks."

"If you are interested, you can come to my tent with your mother tonight."

Qiu Tu's invitation was so open and honest that it made Li Feng realize that she had been a little petty earlier.

Moreover, since Qiu Tu has already invited him, it's clear that even if there are some issues between them, nothing should happen tonight.

Thinking this through, Li Feng politely declined, saying, "I won't go."

"I'm not actually interested in intelligence work; I'm only interested in you."

Perhaps because she had been thinking about Qiu Tu and her mother the whole time, Li Feng's words were running ahead while her mind was chasing after them.

By the time she realized what she had said, it was too late.

She blushed involuntarily, the color as vibrant as her fiery red hair. It also made her too embarrassed to continue her "conquest" of Qiu Tu.

So she quickly made up a couple of excuses and ran back to the group as fast as she could.

Seeing Li Feng flee in such a panic, Qiu Tu couldn't help but chuckle.
"Chaotic Western Capital" is two days' journey from "Wine God Kingdom". Moreover, both settlements are sealed off and surrounded by the white mist of "Immortal Heavenly Tomb". Therefore, Qiu Tu dared not travel too fast for safety reasons.

Even so, after two days of travel, stopping and starting along the way, the group still arrived at the outskirts of the "Kingdom of the God of Wine".

Just as Qiu Tu had guessed, a thick layer of white mist also began to rise around the "Kingdom of the God of Wine".

The fog, like clouds, was a vast expanse of white, blocking all vision, including all means of communication.

"Camp where you are."

Although Qiu Tu was very curious about what had happened to the Temple of Order after hearing what the white-robed man had to say, he also knew that haste makes waste. Therefore, faced with unknown dangers, Qiu Tu did not act rashly. He led the delegation to a secluded valley, set up camp, and prepared to go in and gather intelligence, just as he had done in the Chaotic Western Capital.

Of course, before gathering intelligence, Qiu Tu also needed to discuss the intelligence with Heavenly King Zhiyan to fill in any gaps.

夜晚
The moon was bright and the stars were few, but the earth was pitch black.

The white mist that permeated the entire "Eternal Continent - West" hung over all living beings like a dark cloud.

"The white fog seems to have expanded."

Standing outside the tent, Qiu Tu gazed at the white mist outside and then spoke softly.

Just then, Heavenly King Zhiyan walked over.

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, she looked up at the white fog that stretched for who knows how many kilometers, and then said, "This white fog is indeed a bit strange, just like the recent situation."

Upon hearing Zhiyan's words, Qiu Tu turned to look at her and asked, "You also sense that something is wrong with the current situation?"

Upon hearing this, Heavenly King Zhiyan smiled and said, "No, not at all."

"But if it can make you frown, then it must be a very complicated situation."

When praising someone, Heavenly King Zhiyan's words sound much better.

So Qiu Tu couldn't help but smile, and then asked, "Did you send someone to keep Li Feng company?"

When Qiu Tu said "accompany," he meant to "detain" Li Feng so that she wouldn't disturb the two of them that night.

Zhiyan Tianwang immediately understood. She nodded slightly and said, "It just so happens that Lady Zhuwu is a little bored, so I asked her to give Xiaofeng a lesson."

Qiu Tu:
When Qiu Tu heard that it was that unreliable Zhu Wu who was holding Li Feng back, he felt a little uneasy.

He said tactfully, "Zhuwu has such a sweet tongue, it's like she's been touched by pesticide."

Are you sure Li Feng is willing to talk to her?

Hearing Qiu Tu's exaggerated evaluation, Heavenly King Zhiyan covered her mouth and chuckled before saying, "I'm not sure."

"But there really wasn't a better candidate."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu recalled the people who had traveled with him. It seemed that only Zhu Wu was someone who was of similar strength and status to Li Feng, someone he could get along with, and someone who was available.

He hesitated for a moment before waving his hand, "Never mind, let's just finish this quickly."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Heavenly King Zhiyan blushed slightly, then reached for her skirt and began to lift it up.

Upon seeing this, Qiu Tu was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "Heavenly King, what are you doing?"

"Didn't we agree that you would help me come up with ideas and relieve my stress?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Heavenly King Zhiyan paused for a moment, then looked at Qiu Tu with some surprise.

As a result, she saw a half-smile on Qiu Tu's face.

At that moment, she knew perfectly well that Qiu Tu was teasing her, and she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and annoyed.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu smiled and reached out to put his arm around her slender waist, then said, "Together, together."

"Neither of them will interfere with the other."

As he spoke, Qiu Tu lifted the skirt of Heavenly King Zhiyan and began to talk about the information he had gathered during this period, as well as the hints he had received from Elena, Jasmine, and Baiyi.

After recounting all the information, Qiu Tu hugged Heavenly King Zhiyan and asked, "After hearing all this information, what was your first reaction?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's story, Heavenly King Zhiyan leaned against Qiu Tu's chest, her eyes darting around as she pondered.

After a moment, she hesitated before speaking, "I feel like something's not quite right."

"Everything seems too coincidental."

"Elena first warns you, then the Witch of Chaos mocks you and reveals details, and finally the God King of Shepherd gives you a direct hint."

"These marks seem a bit too heavy."

"It's as if an invisible hand is manipulating everything."

At this point, Heavenly King Zhiyan probably felt that her judgment was too arbitrary, so she paused for a moment, and then said,
"Of course, Speaker, you are the chosen one. If you really encounter a major crisis, it is possible that all sides are warning you."

"Therefore, everything I've said is just my own speculation. Please take it with a grain of salt."

Upon hearing what Heavenly King Zhiyan said, Qiu Tu's eyes narrowed slightly.

Although King Zhiyan tried to make amends later, for topics like this, listening to only the first half is enough to know her true thoughts.

However, King Zhiyan's answer did not surprise Qiu Tu, so he did not offer his own evaluation. Instead, he pondered for a moment and asked, "Then what do you think happened at the 'Temple of Order'?"

"Why did their attitude change so drastically, treating me like a pawn to be abandoned?"

Zhiyan Tianwang took a couple of breaths and then tried her best to keep her mind calm.

She pondered for a moment, then said, "Looking at the whole incident, I think there are two possibilities."

"Firstly, because of Princess Zhao."

"The exposure of Zhao Ji's strength has alerted the four leaders of the 'Temple of Order' to your suspicious nature and ambitions, Speaker."

"Furthermore, there have been some rumors surrounding you and the 'Chaotic Path,' leading them to believe you are uncontrollable."

"As it happened, this opportunity came along, so we decided to throw you out there and test you out."

At this point, Heavenly King Zhiyan paused, then continued, "Secondly, it's possible that the high-ranking God-King in charge of the 'Western Branch' this time isn't the Ink-Colored God-King, but rather that God-King Mitchell who has some issues with you."

"Therefore, their situation will naturally change 180 degrees."

Upon hearing what Heavenly King Zhiyan said, Qiu Tu couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression on his face.

Seeing this, Heavenly King Zhiyan became somewhat curious about what Qiu Tu was thinking.

So, she pressed down on Qiu Tu's fingers as he was picking beans and asked, "Speaker, what is your assessment of the current situation and the state of the 'Temple of Order'?"

"What are your plans now?"
