Chapter 858 Qing'e: You Must Take Responsibility (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Thinking this, Elena couldn't help but smile.

She found Xiao Qing'e really interesting.

Although she knew Qing'e was rather naive, the fact that she would get shy just to let Qiu Tu see her giving her a massage still made her want to laugh a little.

At that moment, just as Elena was thinking this, she suddenly felt Qiu Tu's hand, which was massaging her, begin to move upwards.
At first, Qiu Tu's movements were very careful and gentle, his fingers slowly rubbing upwards, almost like he was sneaking around.

But when he arrived at Elena, he finally stopped hiding his purpose. His fingertips carried a familiar warmth, a touch as light as an electric current.

In that instant, Elena's body trembled involuntarily, and she bit her lip hard to keep herself from crying out.

She took two deep breaths to suppress her body's reaction, then avoided Qing'e's gaze and glared at Qiu Tu!
Just as she was glaring at Qiu Tu, Qiu Tu happened to look up at her. Seeing her looking over, Qiu Tu put on an innocent expression, but his hand was still gently circling and stirring.

Elena was a rather delicate woman, and every time Qiu Tu circled around her, it felt like he was dancing on the very tip of her heart, making her heart flutter.

'How dare he?!'

She cursed Qiu Tu's audacity in her heart, but Elena dared not turn back.

Because, just as she turned around, she had already caught Qing'e's attention.

Qing'e, who was already so shy that her eyes were glazed over, suddenly became much clearer the moment she saw her, and looked at her with a blushing face.

Although it looked incredibly beautiful, Elena had no interest in appreciating it at all. After all, she was busy being silly and goofy at the time.

So, although she still wanted to glare at Qiu Tu, Elena forcibly suppressed her thoughts.

She coughed lightly, then lay there and mumbled, "Stir it up, stir it up. Just stir it up."

"You'll wreak havoc on the world, cause devastating floods, and drive the six major powers into conflict. Then you'll be happy."

Elena's words seemed out of place, so Qing'e, whose mind was already becoming increasingly sluggish, couldn't help but feel a sense of confusion, wondering what had happened.

However, she didn't understand what Elena was implying, but Qiu Tu did.

Hearing Elena's words, Qiu Tu couldn't help but smile. He echoed Elena's words, "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry."

"Although your lords may cause chaos in the world, I am here for you."

"In our human mythology, our ancestor was named Yu the Great, and his greatest skill was flood control."

"And as his descendant, I also have the talent for flood control."

"Our ancestors used the 'Sea-Stabilizing Needle' to control the floods. Although I don't have such a divine weapon, I've managed to forge a 'Ruyi Cudgel' over the years," Qiu Tu said with a mischievous grin.

Elena: ?
Qing'e: ? ?

Although both Elena and Qing'e have question marks on their heads, their question marks are not the same.

Qing'e completely failed to understand the deeper meaning behind their words, leaving her utterly bewildered.

Elena understood, and thought Qiu Tu was shameless!

She was clearly warning him! But he was seducing her instead!

Iron rods again!?

I am not one of them.
Um.
Recalling what happened that night, Elena suddenly realized that Qiu Tu really hadn't lied.

However, the fact that Qiu Tu didn't lie in this respect doesn't mean he didn't lie in other respects.

For example, water management
Elena believed that Qiu Tu was the culprit behind the disaster, and she didn't believe that Qiu Tu could control the flood.

Besides, even if we really wanted to control the floods, now is not the time.

Elena hadn't forgotten that Qiu Tu's every move was being watched by the four giants. Moreover, he was about to advance to the God King level and then go on to carry out the mission of "rebuilding the intelligence network." Therefore, she couldn't afford to deplete Qiu Tu's energy right now.

After all, Qiu Tu's mission this time is also beneficial to her.

In this era of great competition, opportunities abound, and even she wanted to take a chance and see if there was one.

Thinking this, although she was feeling weak all over from Qiu Tu's cheat system, Elena still managed to force herself to speak with her strong will, "Okay."

"We've pretty much finished talking tonight."

"Qing'e, go and see Qiu Tu off for me."

After saying that, Elena ignored their reactions and flashed away. Her black bathrobe drew a graceful arc in the air, the golden tassels at her ankles swayed slightly, and then she landed steadily on the stone slab three feet away from the wine pool.

Elena's sudden standing up clearly caught Qiu Tu and Qing'e off guard.

Qiu Tu was fine, just sitting to the side, but Qing'e was sitting on Elena's back, so she was caught off guard and her whole body leaned back.

As she leaned back, she suddenly covered her mouth and let out a muffled groan.

Hearing Qing'e's strange voice, Elena looked at her suspiciously.

But at this moment, Qiu Tu had already reached out to support Qing'e.

After helping Qing'e up, Qiu Tu couldn't help but ask, "Are you alright, Goddess Qing'e?"

At this moment, Qing'e seemed to have been completely drained, her legs trembling slightly. She bit her lip, took several deep breaths, and then said, "I, I'm fine."

However, even though she said that, her voice trembled when she spoke.

Qiu Tu and Elena are both shrewd people; how could they possibly believe her?

Fortunately, at this moment, she spoke up again, saying, "I'm probably just too tired today. I'm just not feeling well."

Qing'e's excuse was actually incredibly clumsy. After all, the God King was immune to all diseases and had so much energy that he could go for half a month without sleeping, so how could he suddenly be tired?

However, since everyone involved is an adult and understands the importance of adult decorum, no one called them out on it after Qing'e said so.

In addition, Elena was also somewhat unsettled by Qiu Tu's teasing, so after giving Qing'e a deep look, she took the initiative to say, "Alright, since that's the case, you should go back and rest after you've seen Qiu Tu off."

After saying that, she ignored their reactions, flicked her bathrobe, and stepped into the wine pool. Her steps seemed leisurely, but they were twice as fast as usual, as if a raging flood was chasing her.

The sudden incident had clearly startled Qing'e, so even though Elena had given her a day off, she still needed Qiu Tu's help to calm herself down for seven or eight seconds before getting up. She forced a smile and said to Qiu Tu, "Then, Qiu Tu, God King, let's go." Her voice was slightly hoarse, and her hands were clenched tightly, as if she wanted to squeeze out all the sweat from her palms.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu nodded, then stood up and followed Qing'e outside.

However, even though she was about to leave, when she reached the entrance of the wine pool courtyard, Qing'e couldn't help but look back at the spot where the three of them had just been sitting, as if she were searching for something.

However, after searching for two seconds, she didn't find anything unusual, so she had to look away.

However, in the last second before she looked away, her lingering gaze inadvertently fell upon the spot where Elena had last stood.

There seems to be a puddle of water in that place now.
As she walked towards the changing room, Qing'e was also a little puzzled: Hmm? Your Majesty didn't go into the wine pool before the massage, so why is there wine on your body? She frowned slightly, her face full of confusion.

And so, the two showered and changed in the changing room. Qing'e took Elena's place to escort Qiu Tu back to his post.

On the way back to the camp, Qing'e looked at Qiu Tu several times, as if she wanted to ask something, but in the end she hesitated to speak.

Qiu Tu saw Qing'e's expression. Under normal circumstances, given Qiu Tu's usual habits and his exceptionally high emotional intelligence, he would 100% pass the message to Qing'e and let her express her true feelings.

But this time, Qiu Tu strangely didn't give Qing'e any way to respond. He just walked quietly, his gaze fixed straight ahead, as if he hadn't noticed her struggle at all.

And so, the two remained silent until they reached their post.

As their destination drew near, Qing'e finally couldn't hold back any longer. She looked up at Qiu Tu beside her and asked, "Lord Qiu Tu, when you were massaging His Majesty just now, did you sense anything amiss?"

Her voice was barely audible, and her eyes flickered, as if she wanted to investigate something but was afraid of revealing her secret.

Upon hearing Qing'e's words, Qiu Tu paused, then coughed lightly twice. He then reached out and patted Qing'e's shoulder, saying, "Lady Qing'e, I don't know what you're talking about."

"But I can tell you seem a little unsettled."

"So what I'm trying to say is, don't worry too much about what happens. After all, everything will pass quickly."

After saying that, Qiu Tu strode back to his courtyard. His steps were hurried, as if he were running away from something, completely different from his usual self.

Upon returning to his courtyard, Qiu Tu didn't waste a single second; he immediately activated the defensive formation and began his closed-door cultivation breakthrough.

From persuading Qing'e to breaking through to seclusion, Qiu Tu's entire process took less than a minute, and the seamless transition left Qing'e completely stunned.

After all, Qing'e had known Qiu Tu for a long time, but she had never seen Qiu Tu work so hard and so seriously in his cultivation.

That reaction didn't even seem like someone rushing to cultivate; it was more like... running away!?
Although Qing'e was being manipulated by Qiu Tu and Elena all night, she was still a fool.

If she had only guessed before, now that Qiu Tu had confessed without being asked, how could she not understand!

Recalling what Qiu Tu had just said, she felt both ashamed and angry.

Her face flushed red and then turned pale as she glared at Qiu Tu's courtyard, which had activated a defensive magic array, her teeth itching with hatred.

It wasn't that she was being petty. It was mainly that, due to a series of unforeseen circumstances, the two of them had gone far tonight.
As she thought about it, Qing'e couldn't help but recall what the two of them had done in those last few minutes.

Because Qiu Tu was invisible at the time, and was simultaneously teasing both Elena and Qing'e, he was exceptionally fearless.

This also led to Qiu Tu being somewhat reckless when he attacked Qing'e.

At first, Qiu Tu only focused on taking care of Qing'e's softness, but he soon became dissatisfied with that and began to linger in other places.

Later on, Qiu Tu started skating around again, just like last time.

This almost drove Qing'e, who had only had one romantic experience, crazy.

You should know that at that time, Qing'e didn't even know what was happening or why her body was behaving strangely.

She felt as if there was an invisible person constantly doing bad things to her.

Moreover, she didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she felt that those things were familiar, somewhat like what Qiu Tu had done to her.

But when she turned around to see what was going on, she found that Qiu Tu was ignoring her and was instead focused on giving Elena a massage.

This made her doubt her own sanity several times.

Just when Qing'e was completely at a loss as to what to do next or how to stop it all, something even more unexpected happened:
Elena suddenly vanished from beside the wine pool.

If Qing'e were in a normal state, of course there wouldn't be any problem, but don't forget that at this moment Qing'e's mind is completely blank, and she is completely unable to think.

So, she stumbled, lost her balance, and fell backward.

The invisible man who had been causing her trouble seemed to have been caught off guard, and in that instant, a head appeared to burst in.
In that instant, Qing'e was so shocked that her face paled. After all, it all seemed too real. It made her wonder if something had really happened between her and someone.

Although the man didn't take advantage of the situation because Elena was still nearby and the posture was wrong, Qing'e kept everything in mind and wanted to figure out what was going on.

So when she was taking Qiu Tu home, she naturally tested him a bit.

To everyone's surprise, Qiu Tu, who was usually so shrewd and calculating, was completely unable to withstand the test this time and exposed himself immediately.

This led Qing'e to find the culprit behind the whole thing that happened tonight.

Thinking this, Qing'e couldn't help but glance at the rising defensive array again, her face full of embarrassment and annoyance.

Perhaps because tonight was so exciting, the scene kept replaying in her mind.

This made her even angrier.

'I refuse to believe you can hide in seclusion forever!'

'This time it's not like I was clueless back then and asked you to help me improve my skills.'

'Let's see how you explain this!'

Thinking of this, Qing'e glared at Qiu Tu's courtyard with a mixture of shame, anger, and resentment, then turned and walked back.

However, what Qing'e didn't know was
Just as she was walking back, Qiu Tu, inside the defensive formation, did not immediately go into seclusion to cultivate, but was watching her.

However, compared to his flustered and involuntary confession when facing her, Qiu Tu, sitting there, exuded an incomparably calm and confident demeanor, as if he were carrying out some kind of calculation.
