Chapter 874 The relationship between these two girls is unusual (Seeking monthly votes)
At this point, Qiu Tu paused again, then added casually, "Wasn't Princess Xingyue dead?"

"Does a dead person have much value?"

It seemed that during that pause, the Cloud Cat God King had already decided what to say and what to hide.

Moreover, she is indeed very good at reading people and her methods are very sophisticated.

So, upon hearing Qiu Tu's question, she chuckled twice. Her laughter was crisp and melodious, yet carried a hint of imperceptible aloofness. Holding her pipe, she said with a smile, "Your Excellency's probing is truly childish."

Her alluring peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, their gaze shifting and swirling, yet they seemed veiled in a thin mist, making them difficult to see clearly.

"We intelligence workers, although we do intelligence work, never believe any intelligence."

Qiu Tu nodded and continued, "After all, we are only responsible for collecting intelligence. Whether the intelligence is true and effective, and how much of a role it plays, is the job of other departments."

The Cloud Cat God King looked at Qiu Tu with his peach blossom eyes and nodded slightly. "Yes. So, only by maintaining skepticism about intelligence can we uncover more useful information."

After this brief introduction, she changed the subject, saying, "The news of Princess Starmoon's death was spread by the Destroyer Tyrant, who intends to use her death to achieve many goals."

"Therefore, the credibility of this death report is extremely low."

Actually, Qiu Tu didn't care what Cloud Cat God King answered. All he wanted was for Cloud Cat God King to pick up on the topic.

Therefore, upon hearing what Cloud Cat God King said, Qiu Tu naturally followed suit.

He said, "So... Princess Xingyue didn't actually die?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's question, Zhao Ji in the "Punishment God Realm" looked intently at the Cloud Cat God King, a sharp glint flashing in her golden eyes, eager for a definite answer.

This time, the Cloud Cat Goddess didn't keep her in suspense any longer. She nodded and said, "Yes. She is not dead."

Upon hearing this answer, Qiu Tu's gaze flickered slightly.

Although he had guessed before that the death of "Princess Xingyue" was likely just a frame-up and that Zhao Ji might not have killed "Princess Xingyue", he was still relieved when his guess was actually confirmed.

Although both he and Zhao Ji were rather reckless, superficial feuds are always easier to resolve and deal with than genuine ones.

Just then, the Cloud Cat God Queen added, "Or rather, she was resurrected from the dead."

"Resurrected from the dead?" Qiu Tu's brows furrowed slightly.

Combining the information from before and after, he guessed, "You mean the Earth Soul God King resurrected 'Princess Star Moon'?"

If this is the outcome, then the situation is back to square one.

As a result, the Cloud Cat God-King shook her head again, saying, "It wasn't her resurrected by the 'Immortal Trio'."

"On the contrary, it is the 'Immortal Triumvirate' who are plotting against her."

"Because...she's a born 'immortal.'"

"She will never die, and even if she does, she will be resurrected very soon."

When he said this, the Cloud Cat God King spoke lightly, as if he were joking, like a feather tickling the air.

After she finished speaking, she returned to her large chair, leaned lazily against the backrest, put the pipe to her lips, took a deep drag, and then gently exhaled.

The next second, wisps of smoke rose up, changing shape in front of her, sometimes like playful kittens, sometimes like butterflies spreading their wings, just like Qiu Tu's uncertain heart at this moment.
'She wasn't lying. Her emotions told me she was serious.'

At that moment, Zhao Ji's cold voice echoed in Qiu Tu's mind.

Qiu Tu remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he looked up at the Cloud Cat God King with some surprise, and then asked, "What is meant by 'undying'? How are they formed?"

Upon hearing this, Cloud Cat God King shrugged and said, "I don't know either."

"My permissions only allow me to access this much information."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu frowned slightly and asked, "What is the purpose of the 'Undead'?"

Cloud Cat God King, "He's immortal."

Qiu Tu, "What use would the 'Immortal Trio' have for obtaining immortals?"

Cloud Cat God King took a drag of his cigarette and shook his head indifferently, "I don't know."

Qiu Tu:
do not know?
To be honest, even without Zhao Ji's emotional perception abilities, Qiu Tu wouldn't believe what the Cloud Cat God King said.

Qiu Tu suspects that the Cloud Cat God King may know what the "Undead" truly represents, but for some unknown reason, he is deliberately concealing this information.
But why would she do this? Was it to protect some secret, or was she trying to use it to guide herself to do something else?
Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but glance at the Cloud Cat God King.

At this moment, the Cloud Cat God-King seemed to have guessed that Qiu Tu had seen through her, but she didn't care at all. Instead, she raised her eyes and looked at Qiu Tu with great interest.

There was a hint of amusement, a hint of provocation, and something else indescribable in his gaze.
Seeing this, Qiu Tu's eyes also became dark and unfathomable.

Qiu Tu didn't actually know much about the Cloud Cat God King in front of him. Especially during her time as the intelligence chief, Qiu Tu knew almost nothing about her.

Without sufficient intelligence, Qiu Tu found it difficult to guess her true purpose and scheme.

However, thanks to his keen sense of intelligence work, Qiu Tu could still vaguely sense that she actually wanted to get involved in this matter.

Coincidentally, Qiu Tu also wanted to get involved in this matter.

In this case, their initial goals were at least aligned.

With that in mind, Qiu Tu pondered for a moment and then came up with an idea.

He looked at the charming little girl in front of him and then said, "Lord Cloud Cat, do you have a way to arrange for me to be by Princess Star Moon's side?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the Cloud Cat God-King paused slightly before asking with a charming smile, "What? Has Your Excellency become interested in the youngest daughter of the 'Destruction Tyrant'?"

At this point, as if she had just remembered something, her smile became sly. "That's right. She's the daughter of the 'Destroyer Tyrant,' who wouldn't want to have a kiss with her?"

"Whether as friends or enemies."

Qiu Tu:
To be honest, Qiu Tu had never thought of Yunmao Shenwang's idea.

He even thought that a normal intelligence officer, upon hearing his plan, would most likely assume he wanted to gather intelligence locally. Those who would immediately think of it as involving women would either be teasing Qiu Tu by a woman he was very close to, or they would worry that something might happen between Qiu Tu and Princess Xingyue.

This was the first time Yunmao Shenwang and Qiu Tu had met; they had no prior relationship.

Cloud Cat God King certainly wasn't worried about Qiu Tu getting into trouble because of Princess Xingyue. So the matter becomes quite simple.
'She has a private relationship with Princess Xingyue? And a good one at that?'

Because her "backside" is different, the "perspective" is off. Or perhaps she's too concerned and makes a mistake, inadvertently revealing her true colors?

Combined with what Qiu Tu had just realized—that the Cloud Cat God King was hiding something—Qiu Tu suddenly felt that everything was getting interesting.
The intelligence chief of the "Temple of Order" had a private relationship with the target's daughter?

This kind of thing can be a big deal or a small deal, depending on how Qiu Tu uses it.

If Qiu Tu was initially only interested in the Cloud Cat God King and wanted to recruit him for his own purposes, but had no clue how to do so...

So now he feels like he's found a starting point.

Furthermore, the core of the deal and discussion between the "Earth Soul God King" and the "Destruction Tyrant," two of the three immortal giants, is also about the "Star Moon Princess."
The core of the whole incident seems to have unknowingly become this girl who was once "killed" by Zehime.

'It seems necessary to make contact with this mysterious girl.'

On the night the royal city was destroyed, a blood moon hung high in the sky. The dark red moonlight shone on the grotesque buildings, casting twisted and eerie shadows.

The air was always hazy, and the smell of gunpowder was always present.

Walking on the dilapidated streets of Blackflame City, Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji chatted using their mental powers.

Zhao Ji's eyes were cold and clear, her face expressionless, but her tone carried a hint of doubt, "Why do you admit that you had designs on Princess Xingyue?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu, while admiring the unique night view, asked with a smile, "Did Sister Zhao Ji sense my insincere emotions?"

Zhao Ji sat cross-legged on the large obsidian stone, gave a faint "hmm," and commented, "Your interest in the 'Star Moon Princess' is less than your interest in the Cloud Cat God King."

Qiu Tu coughed.

Qiu Tu hadn't expected that Zhao Ji could perceive such subtle changes in expression.

Seeing Qiu Tu's embarrassed expression was a rare sight, and Zhao Ji's lips curled up slightly.

Now, she seems to enjoy teasing Qiu Tu from time to time to see how he reacts.

This seems to be a very interesting thing.

Qiu Tu didn't see Zhao Ji's expression, so after coughing, he explained, "Because I suspect that the relationship between Cloud Cat God King and Princess Star Moon is unusual."

"But I couldn't let her know that I had discovered this, so I just chatted with her for a few minutes."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's reason, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhao Ji's eyes. "The relationship between the Cloud Cat God King and Princess Xingyue is unusual?"

She thought for a moment, then said, "But...didn't she give you the list, information, and intelligence about Princess Xingyue's confidants and attendants so that you could disguise yourself and infiltrate Princess Xingyue's inner circle?"

Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu smiled, shrugged, and made an obvious expression, "Doesn't this make it easier for her to control the target I'm impersonating?"

"This way, she can better monitor me, understand my progress, and even remind Princess Xingyue to be wary of me."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ji paused for a second before finally nodding slightly.

She realized that she really didn't have a talent for using her brain. From now on, she would just listen to Qiu Tu's analysis.

As for myself, it's more effective to let the sword speak for itself.

Even if you have any questions, you can just ask Qiu Tu directly.

Thinking about this, she couldn't help but ask, "When you and Cloud Cat God King parted ways, you asked her about her disguise, and what did you think of her answer—was it real or fake?"

Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu walked along, recalling his conversation with the Cloud Cat God King.

At that time, it was actually Cloud Cat God King who first asked Qiu Tu about his plans to infiltrate the area.

As a result, Qiu Tu did not give her an answer immediately. Instead, he asked her how she had infiltrated the area. After all, the Cloud Cat God King was very different from the Silver Mask God King that Qiu Tu had seen in terms of both size and voice.

Qiu Tu had only intended to dispel the Cloud Cat God King's question, but to his surprise, the Cloud Cat God King actually answered it.

She then simply took off the silver mask from her face.

As a result, as she put on the silver mask, a layer of silver light spread from the mask and covered her whole body. She began to grow taller and her figure began to change. In the blink of an eye, she became the Silver-Masked God King that Qiu Tu had seen.

Afterwards, Cloud Cat God King said that this was a special cataclysmic artifact made by the "Shadow" Department, which could perfectly change one's form and identity.

More importantly, each mask corresponds to the characteristics of a member of the "Shadow" faction, so no matter who wears the mask, the person they become is the same.

The Cloud Cat God King was one of those who stole the silver mask from the Shadow Division in its early days, when censorship wasn't as strict, and has been infiltrating ever since.

The main reason Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji came to "Destroy the Royal Court" was not only to carry out their mission, but also to improve their strength.

As a result, Zhao Ji had been staying in Qiu Tu's "Punishment God Realm" ever since she entered the "Destruction Royal Court". She was clearly interested in the mask and wanted to take one, hide her identity, and wreak havoc in the "Destruction Royal Court" to improve her cultivation level.

So, after hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu thought for a moment and gave his answer, "The effect of the mask is most likely real."

"This lie is easily exposed. With the intelligence of the Cloud Cat God King, she wouldn't lie about this."

"As for the 'Shadow Division' she infiltrated using this mask..." Qiu Tu paused, then laughed and said, "That's complete nonsense."

"The 'Shadow Division' developed this mask to better conceal the members' identities. If they were so well-hidden that even they themselves couldn't tell them apart, wouldn't that be incredibly stupid?"

After saying that, Qiu Tu concluded, "So that woman has many secrets."

"We still need to contact 'Princess Star and Moon' to uncover more of the truth."

"This princess is likely hiding many secrets." As he said this, Qiu Tu looked up at the crimson moon in the sky, then reached out as if trying to grasp the elusive moonlight. "Perfect, we can use this time to improve our strength."
