Chapter 854 Elena: Am I too early? (Seeking monthly votes)

Qiu Tu could freely enter and exit the wine pool, let alone Qing'e.

Or rather, as Elena's assistant, she was actually the direct superior of these maids.

Therefore, upon hearing her instructions, the maids standing at the door exchanged glances, but dared not stop her and simply stepped aside.

Qing'e didn't notice the slightly strange expressions on the faces of the maids as she stepped into the wine pool courtyard. Her pure white dress swayed slightly with each step, appearing elegant and refined in the moonlight, perfectly blending into the intoxicating wine pool.

Watching her retreating figure, one of the maids standing at the door hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward to call her back and report that Qiu Tu was in the wine pool. Her lips parted slightly, and her hand unconsciously rose.

Just then, another maid beside her quickly reached out and pressed down on her arm.

The maid was clearly puzzled as she was held down by her companion.

She couldn't help but look at her companion beside her, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, her eyes silently asking: What's wrong?
Her companion simply lowered her head and shook it slightly at her.

The two clearly had a good relationship, so when her companion gave her a hint, the maid stopped trying to report and stood there with her head down. She slowly lowered her raised hand, her fingers lightly rubbing the hem of her dress, clearly still hesitant.

Only after Qing'e entered the courtyard and could no longer hear the two talking did the companion who wanted to report to the maid breathe a sigh of relief.

She looked at the maid who was about to report, then asked in a low voice, "What were you trying to do just now?"

Upon hearing this, the maid whispered, "I would like to report that His Majesty Qiu Tu just entered the wine pool."

At this point, the maid was also a little puzzled. She asked in confusion, "Did I do something wrong?" Her face was full of innocence and bewilderment.

Hearing her words, her companion lowered his voice and said, "Of course you were wrong."

Her companion explained in a low voice, "You were just transferred to His Majesty's side to serve him personally, and you clearly don't know the rules."

"The most important thing for us servants is not cleverness, but stupidity."

"No matter when, I will not look, listen, or ask."

"And the same applies to matters concerning Your Majesty: unless Your Majesty asks for it yourself, do not presume to offer any reminders."

Hearing her companion's words, the maid was clearly confused. She couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

The senior maid glared at her irritably and said, "I told you not to ask questions."

Upon hearing her companion's words, the newly appointed maid quickly said "Oh" and shut her mouth.

Seeing her like that, the senior maid sighed softly, but ultimately softened and offered an explanation.
"Because you have no idea whether His Majesty truly doesn't know, or is deliberately pretending not to know."

She gave an example, "like what happened tonight."

“After Qing’e arrived at the wine pool, she didn’t ask any questions and went straight in.”

"If she knows it's His Majesty Qiu Tu inside and went in on purpose, and you remind her, breaking the ice, will she go in or not?"

"If you don't speak and just do your job, then whatever happens later will be none of your business. But if you say the wrong thing, it could bring disaster upon yourself."

"Therefore, when you're around these important figures, you must answer all their questions without reservation when they ask; but when they don't ask, you must also refrain from listening, looking, asking, and speaking."

Upon hearing the words of the more senior maid, the maid who had just been about to report suddenly showed a look of realization.

She glanced gratefully at her companion, thanked her sincerely, and stood respectfully at the door again.
The other maids serving at the door clearly heard the conversation, but they showed no reaction. They simply stood there indifferently, neither looking, listening, asking, nor speaking.
This rule was clearly the workplace code for these goddess servants. Furthermore, Qing'e hadn't expected Qiu Tu to dare enter the wine pool first to wait for Elena, so she didn't ask any questions.

So, with the help of her maid, she changed into her semi-transparent bathrobe and entered the wine area, half-concealed. In the swirling mist of the wine, her figure appeared slender and graceful, her form subtly revealed.

At this moment, the wine pool area was shrouded in white mist, and decadent music accompanied light songs and dances, making it seem like both a fairyland and a place of depravity.

However, Qing'e, who had served Elena for many years, had seen many such scenes, so she did not care and instead walked into the wine pool with her long legs.

As the fragrant wine slowly seeped up to her ankles, calves, thighs, and waist, half of her body was immersed in the golden liquid. Then she followed the direction of the figure in the white mist.

Although Qiu Tu doesn't have many opportunities to fight and his combat skills are average, he is usually very vigilant because he has offended too many people.

Even though the mist in the wine pool had the ability to shield mental energy, he could still clearly sense a woman approaching him.

In his mind, the only one who could freely enter the wine pool was Elena, whom he had made an appointment with.

So when the woman reached his arm's length, he didn't hesitate to reach out and pull her into his arms. "You've come?"

As he spoke, Qiu Tu's hand naturally rested on the woman's chest.

As a result, the moment his hand touched the woman's apple-shaped breasts, he paused for a moment: Huh? The feel is wrong.

At that moment, accompanied by the "splashing" sound of the wine, the woman in his arms let out a suppressed scream. Her body trembled violently as if she had been electrocuted, and she tried to break free from Qiu Tu's embrace.

Hearing that familiar voice and seeing the beautiful face of the woman emerging from the white mist, Qiu Tu finally realized that he seemed to have hugged the wrong person and touched the wrong person!

"Qing'e?"

"Lord Qiu Tu?"

With a soft gasp from the two of them, who were embracing each other, they stared at each other, completely bewildered.
And at the same time.

Outside the wine pool, Elena, dressed in a plain-colored outfit, slowly approached.

The task Mitchell assigned her this time was clearly a bit troublesome, so even with her energy to guard the God King, there was some fatigue in her eyes.

Upon seeing Elena's arrival, the maids all knelt down and greeted her, "Your Majesty!"

Elena waved her hand dismissively, her gaze sweeping over the steaming wine vat like a graceful maiden. Her expression seemed casual, but it was in fact full of inquiry.

Then she looked at the maid at the door and asked, "Is it Qiu Tu or Qing'e who has arrived?"

Upon hearing her question, the senior maidservant quickly curtsied and bowed her head, saying, "Your Majesty, both God-King Qiu Tu and God-King Qing E have arrived."

"God King Qiu Tu arrived first, and God King Qing E arrived later."

She strictly adhered to her instructions to the new maids: say what should be said, and refrain from saying what shouldn't be said. After all, if the superiors were truly interested, they would ask themselves: just like Elena is doing now.

Upon hearing the words of the senior maid, Elena's lips curled slightly, her eyebrows rose, and a look of surprise appeared on her beautiful face.

She asked, "Are Qiu Tu and Qing'e both inside? Are they bathing together?"

The senior maid bowed her head. "I don't know. I only know that God King Qiu Tu and God King Qing E both changed into bathrobes and went to the wine pool."

Upon hearing the senior maid's words, Elena's face revealed a strange expression.

As the "World Ruler" of the "Wine God Kingdom," she holds the highest authority in this world. Therefore, while the wine mist in the wine pool can isolate Qiu Tu and Qing'e's spiritual power, it cannot isolate her.

Therefore, she easily saw the situation in the wine pool through the authority of the "Lord of the World", and of course she also saw Qiu Tu and Qing'e embracing each other!

For a fleeting moment, even the usually lazy Elena couldn't help but clench her fists.

Her feeling was very similar to that of a wealthy woman who is bisexual, only to find out when she gets home that her kept man is having sex with his canary.

At that moment, Elena was unsure whether she should be angry or feel that this was a double whammy.
Or perhaps I arrived too early?
After standing there for two seconds at the door, Elena came to her senses, nodded slightly to the senior maid, and stepped into the wine pool.

Upon entering the wine pool courtyard, Elena changed into a sheer bathrobe in the dressing room before stepping towards the wine pool.

Perhaps sensing that someone else had entered the wine pool, Qiu Tu and Qing'e, who had just been embracing, quickly separated.

Qiu Tu has done many things far more outrageous than what he did tonight over the years, so although he felt a little embarrassed, his expression remained unchanged.

Compared to him, Qing'e was clearly much younger.

Perhaps feeling like she had stolen Elena's man, Qing'e's cheeks flushed pink from the rising wine, clearly showing her unease. She lowered her head, her hands still combing her hair.

Seeing this, Elena did not expose the romantic relationship between the two.

She still had that lazy look on her face, and then said, "I didn't expect you two to arrive so early."

Elena may have just said it casually, but to Qing'e it sounded like a criticism.

So she quickly explained, "Your Majesty, I thought you had arrived first."

At this point, Qing'e probably felt that she was trying to hide something, so she swallowed back what she was about to say.

Compared to her, Qiu Tu was much more natural. He responded to Elena's words quite naturally.

He smiled and said, "Of course I arrived early, after all, I have many questions I would like to ask Your Majesty." He had a frank smile on his face, as if nothing had just happened.

As he spoke, Qiu Tu flashed and came to the edge of the pool from the wine pool.

Upon seeing Qiu Tu wearing only a pair of shorts, and looking at his strong yet well-proportioned body, Elena showed a hint of admiration on her face.

Ignoring Qing'e, she naturally walked to the platform beside the wine pool, lay down, and her two bamboo shoot-like breasts were instantly crushed into meat patties. Then she said, "Speak. What do you want to ask?"

After the last massage, Qiu Tu and Elena now have an unparalleled understanding.

So, as soon as Elena lay down, Qiu Tu naturally walked up to her, squatted down, and placed his hand on Elena's soft, milky skin.

"I would like to ask about the plans of 'Heavenly Dao' and our 'Temple' this time."

Elena is so clever. Although she was lazily lying on the stone platform, her mind was not slack at all.

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Elena crossed her hands on her chin, closed her eyes, and lazily said, "The fact that you came to see me means that you came out alive from His Majesty the Ink."

"Didn't His Majesty the Dark Lord explain these things to you?"

Upon hearing Elena's words, Qiu Tu couldn't help but smile and say, "I'll explain. But... I'd rather hear from Your Majesty."

Upon hearing this, Elena slightly opened her eyes, glanced at Qiu Tu, and saw right through him. "What? Don't you believe His Majesty?" Her eyes held a hint of knowing mockery.

Although Qiu Tu and Elena's relationship wasn't quite at the level of complete trust, it was already very close. Therefore, Qiu Tu didn't hide anything from her and spoke directly.

“It’s not that I believe it. It’s that I feel there might be something being hidden.” Qiu Tu said, pressing on Elena’s shoulder with gentle yet firm movements, as if to comfort her.

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Elena closed her eyes again and pondered for two seconds before speaking, "I'll pretend I didn't hear what you just said."

"I'm helping you clear up your doubts today only because you've been begging me. And I think it's reasonable for you to want to understand the current situation since you're on a mission to rebuild the intelligence network, so I'm telling you."

Qiu Tu knew that this was Elena's condition.

So, as he straddled Elena, pressing her shoulders, he nodded slightly, indicating that he had gotten an erection.

At this moment, seeing that Qiu Tu had agreed, Elena opened her eyes and said, "It's quite normal that you want to understand the 'Heavenly Dao'."

"After all, this is arguably our most powerful secret weapon in the 'Order Path.' It is precisely because of this secret weapon that the 'Order Path' ranks among the top of the six major paths."

"The function of this secret weapon is quite simple: it's to change the 'world rules' of a region."

"Change the 'world rules' of a region?" Qiu Tu's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing Elena's words.

He felt that coming to wait for Elena tonight was definitely the right decision.

Because the very first piece of information Elena revealed was different from what the Dark God King had said.

This clearly proves that Qiu Tu's guess was correct: the Ink God King obviously did not fully trust Qiu Tu, so although he protected Qiu Tu and supported him in doing some things, he also deliberately concealed some other things from Qiu Tu.

Meanwhile, as Qiu Tu and Elena were exchanging information while getting massages, a question mark slowly appeared above Qing'e's head, who was still standing in the wine pool: ?

Wait a minute. Have I been forgotten?

Qiu Tu is getting a massage right now; shouldn't I do something too?
Asking for a monthly ticket.
