Chapter 857 Seeking Thrills? (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
In Qing'e's memory, Elena was a very special boss.

This special quality stems not only from her personality but also from her status.

There aren't many Level 5 God-Kings in the "Temple," but they aren't few either. However, only a handful can become Guardian God-Kings with real power. They must all be the best among the Level 5 God-Kings, which proves the special status of the Guardian God-Kings.

More importantly, Elena holds the highest and most special position among the several guardian god-kings.

Although the "Temple - West Branch" is not the highest among the various branches of the Temple, and Elena's strength does not seem to be the strongest among the guardian god kings, she is always the number one person below the four giants in any official event.

Moreover, although on the surface she belongs to the Ink God King's faction and is his subordinate, Qing'e, a trusted confidante, knows that her relationship with the Ink God King is not as simple as superior-subordinate.

Aside from public occasions, Elena and the Dark God King always interacted very casually in private.

After discovering this, Qing'e pondered it for a long time and felt that the two were more like best friends or allies.

However, it's important to understand that whether someone is a best friend or an ally, it means that there is no absolute hierarchy between them; rather, they are relatively equal.

Is an ordinary god-king equal in status to a high-ranking god-king?
After reaching this conclusion, Qing'e herself felt a little strange.

So she continued to secretly observe Elena afterward.

As a result, she discovered even more suspicious points.

For example, the ordinary servants under the Dark God King did not treat Elena in any special way, but the Dark God King's personal maids and confidants treated Elena with utmost respect.

Even a prime minister's gate is still a seventh-rank official's. The confidants and maids around the four giants always act arrogantly towards ordinary god-kings. Even when facing other fifth-level god-kings, they are only polite and courteous, completely different from the respectful attitude they have towards Elena.

Then, during her training at the "Temple Headquarters," Qing'e overheard a rumor. She overheard a secret from several veteran God-Kings: the Ink-Colored God-King's rise to a high-ranking position was entirely due to Elena. And despite Elena's current good relationship with the Ink-Colored God-King, she harbored deep resentment towards him. Her daily alcoholism was merely a way to numb herself, trying to forget the past and accept her fate.

The story was incomplete and disappeared as soon as it broke out. So Qing'e didn't take it seriously.

After all, he's a big shot; what kind of rumors and gossip wouldn't he have?

There were even rumors that she was Elena's pet, and that the two often slept together. But isn't that also false?
However, when Qing'e heard Qiu Tu suddenly say today that Elena and the Ink God King had different goals and that they had other schemes, she inexplicably thought of this rumor.

Could all of this be true?
Thinking this, Qing'e couldn't help but look down at Elena, who was lying beneath her.

She wondered if it was just her imagination. Although she had spent a hundred years with Elena, in that instant, she suddenly felt as if she had never truly known Elena.

Meanwhile, Elena, lying there with her smooth back exposed, was unaware of Qing'e's unusual behavior. She was still talking to Qiu Tu.

She didn't answer Qiu Tu's question directly, but instead gave an ambiguous answer.
"Qiu Tu, you're still too young."

Whether I have other motives or not is not important. What matters most is what I can offer you and whether it will affect your plans.

"When you live to my age, you will understand one thing: there is no need to delve into or figure out anything in this world."

"When you find that you and someone share the same goal, then you can try to travel together."

"When two people have different goals, they should go their separate ways and continue on their own paths. When they part, there is no need for curses or blessings. All things in this world are merely passing through."

"So, I won't tell you what my purpose is."

"You will know when the time comes."

"And if you still don't know, then it proves that my purpose is not important to you. You've simply obtained some information for free, haven't you?"

With Elena's insightful words, the entire wine pool fell silent.

Qiu Tu and Qing'e were both silently pondering Elena's words.

After a moment, before Qiu Tu could speak, Qing'e suddenly mustered her courage, looked down at Elena, and asked,

"Your Majesty, is it acceptable to travel together with someone if you share the same goal? Even if you have a grudge against that person?"

Upon hearing Qing'e's words, Elena paused for two seconds before smiling and saying, "Of course."

She added, "There are no eternal friends or eternal enemies in this world. When the goals are aligned, why can't we walk together with our enemies?"

"At least for that short stretch of the journey, it proved that our hearts were in sync. We could even call each other friends."

Hearing Qing'e and Elena's conversation, Qiu Tu glanced at them thoughtfully, then smiled and praised, "Your Majesty is truly magnanimous."

Upon hearing this, Elena lazily replied, "It's not about being open-minded. It's about having experienced a lot, and naturally becoming more accepting of things."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu followed up with a question, "But... if you treat enemies and friends as just passersby, wouldn't that be too lonely?"

Elena lay there, nonchalantly saying, "Isn't life inherently lonely?"

Qiu Tu:
Having lived two lives, Qiu Tu has always been very thoughtful.

Previously, he noticed that Elena drank every day, and when he was doing a psychological profile of Elena, he suspected that Elena might have suffered severe psychological trauma or emotional hurt in the past.

After all, people who enjoy drinking often have a subconscious tendency to "escape reality."

Qiu Tu had seen this type of woman before. Their hearts were like onions, with each layer wrapping around the other.

The last "true heart" is either extremely hard or extremely fragile.

It is precisely because of this complexity that dealing with them is not an easy task, and Qiu Tu has never liked dealing with this type of woman.
However, it seems that Elena is too important to me now, and I may have to peel back her layers one by one.

Just then, as Qiu Tu was thinking this, Qing'e spoke up.

As a "pet" picked up and raised by Elena, she truly regarded Elena as a sister and even a mother.

Therefore, when Elena first revealed her true feelings to her, she resolutely stood up.

She reached out and took Elena's hand, then said earnestly, "Your Majesty, regardless of whether others are just passing through your life, I certainly am not. I will always, always, always be with you."

However, Elena's personality seems to have made her immune to such "girlish" sweet talk.

So she couldn't help but smile, and then said, "Are you sure you can outlive me?"

Qing'e: ? ?

Before pledging her loyalty to Elena, Cheong-ah had already guessed that Elena might contradict her.

But she had already thought it all out: if Elena said she would have to go out and be independent in the future and couldn't stay by her side, she would say she wouldn't go out and would be Elena's little assistant for life; if Elena said she would meet someone she liked in the future and be with someone else, she would say she would shut herself off from all desires.
Elena unexpectedly said that she wouldn't outlive her and might die before her, and that she couldn't possibly stay with her for a lifetime, which left Qing'e speechless.

Admit it? Then you'll still be just a passerby. Deny it? Isn't that cursing Elena to die before you?
Qing'e felt like her CPU was about to burn out.

Just then, as Qing'e was thinking this, Qiu Tu chuckled and patted her smooth bottom. Then he said, "The relationship between Goddess Qing'e and Her Majesty Elena is truly enviable."

"However, it's a pity that you don't seem to understand Her Majesty Elena."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Qing'e opened her mouth to retort: ​​She had been with Elena for over a hundred years, how could she not understand Elena!
Just then, Qiu Tu said, "Her Majesty Elena's attitude is actually very simple. She doesn't care whether someone is with her or apart from her; what she cares about is whether their 'goals' are aligned."

Perhaps because he had figured out Elena's purpose, Qiu Tu's words sounded exceptionally insightful. He said,
"The reason she told me so much information tonight is because her purpose requires me to know this information."

"Only in this way can my objective align with hers when I go to 'Destroy the Royal Court' to establish an intelligence network."

"So, to put it another way: as long as the goals are aligned, you can stay by Her Majesty Elena's side indefinitely."

"This is the core message Her Majesty Elena wanted to convey."

Before Qiu Tu spoke, Qing'e looked unconvinced. But after hearing Qiu Tu finish speaking, she swallowed all her words: because... what Qiu Tu said did make a lot of sense.

Since Elena cares about "goals," then all I need to do is align my "goals" with hers.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but smile.

Despite her long lifespan, Qing'e remains somewhat naive, perhaps due to being constantly protected by Elena. She not only struggles to see beyond appearances but is also easily manipulated.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu had a sudden inspiration and quietly unfolded his "Order Space," which then enveloped half of Qing'e.

Although Qiu Tu's current strength is outstanding, there are still slight fluctuations in cataclysmic power when he uses "Order Space".

Qing'e couldn't detect this slight fluctuation, but a master like Elena could easily sense the anomaly.

Therefore, she couldn't help but scan the area with her spiritual power to see what Qiu Tu was doing.

However, under her spiritual power, she found nothing unusual: Qing'e was still riding on her back, gently massaging her with her small hands. Qiu Tu was also sitting obediently beside her legs, massaging them.

Elena: ?

Elena had great faith in her senses, so after finding nothing amiss, she scanned twice more. Only after Qiu Tu and Qing'e looked at her with puzzled expressions did she withdraw her mental energy.

'Strange. Could it be my imagination?'

Elena wasn't one to take things too seriously, so after racking her brains without finding a solution, she stopped thinking about it and instead, with a wave of her hand, she summoned several jugs of fine wine from thin air. She drank them while enjoying the massages from the "little puppy" and the "canary."

However, what she didn't notice was that after she withdrew her mental energy, the canary riding on her back became increasingly red in the cheeks, increasingly dazed in the eyes, and even began to be covered with a layer of fine sweat on the tip of its nose.

"Order Space - Invisible Illusion".

These are the rules that Qiu Tu set up after he launched the "Order Space".

After discovering that Qing'e was genuinely afraid of Elena finding out about their relationship and that she was easily fooled, Qiu Tu felt that tonight was becoming quite interesting.

So he simply used "Order Space" as cover, creating a fake image of himself that obediently massaged Elena's legs, while he himself was invisible, holding Qing'e and starting to grope her.

Below the level of advanced God-King, all ordinary God-Kings are at the same realm, so Qiu Tu's "Order Space" can deceive both Qing'e and Elena.

Even because of Qiu Tu's current strength, the cost was not much.

So, Elena scanned her mind for a long time but found nothing.

Although Qing'e initially felt something was off, when she saw Qiu Tu diligently massaging Elena, she realized she might be too nervous: she was afraid Elena would discover her relationship with Qiu Tu, which was why she was hallucinating.

But it benefited Qiu Tu.

At first, Qiu Tu remained restrained, only helping Qing'e grow up and trying to make her more womanly.

But later it was no longer limited to that.

His hand gently brushed against Qing'e, moving as lightly as a feather.

Qing'e may have been soaking in the wine pool for too long, because as soon as she sat there, the wine dripped onto Elena's back.

At this moment, Qing'e had already realized that something was wrong. However, under the "Order Space," everything was real. She turned around several times, blushing, biting her lip, and looking back with tears in her eyes, but she could not see anything unusual.

In the end, Elena realized something was wrong.

When Qing'e massaged herself, she didn't apply any oil, so why did her back become smoother and more supple?

Elena wasn't an innocent little girl, so she guessed what it was just by thinking about it.

The more she guessed, the less she understood: she had intimately massaged Qing'e before, so why was Qing'e so excited tonight?
Thinking this, a guess arose in Elena's mind: Could it be because of Qiu Tu?
She actually guessed the truth.

However, she guessed wrong the next second: Could it be because Qiu Tu was here that Qing'e felt excited?
