Chapter 878 Kiss Me (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The place where Princess Xingyue was kept and imprisoned was called "Jingyue Palace." The name was elegant, but in reality, it was a prison.

According to Wei Lin's memory, the "Jingyue Palace" was located in the heart of the imperial city, near the northeast, and belonged to the inner palace. Generally speaking, ordinary officials were forbidden from approaching or having contact with it.

Of course, Wei Lin was not an ordinary foreign official, but the Imperial Guard Captain in charge of guarding the imperial city.

The Imperial Guard Commander, who commands most of the Imperial Guards, can move freely throughout the Imperial City except in restricted areas.

Upon arriving at the "Jingyue Palace" area, Qiu Tu, dressed in silver armor and riding a silver-white earth dragon, patrolled with his eyes fixed straight ahead while secretly observing the situation of the "Jingyue Palace".

As the important place where "Princess Xingyue" was imprisoned, "Jingyue Palace" was built entirely of obsidian, exuding a deathly silence.

The hall was surrounded by empty space, and several figures dressed in black and wearing demon masks stood like statues in the shadows outside the hall. The cold aura emanating from them seemed to blend into the darkness, clearly indicating that they were members of the Shadow Division whom Qiu Tu had dealt with before.

Upon seeing someone approaching, the members of the Shadow Division swept over with cold gazes, but when they saw that it was "Wei Lin" patrolling on an earth dragon, they all withdrew their gazes expressionlessly.

Qiu Tu's visit was merely a preliminary one to get a feel for the situation, so after circling the "Jingyue Palace," he rode the earth dragon to continue his patrol.

"Commander!" "Lord Wei." "Commander."

Just like the assessment of the Imperial Guard that Qiu Tu replaced yesterday, Wei Lin has a very high prestige within the entire Imperial Guard.

Therefore, along the way, every patrol of imperial guards who saw Qiu Tu immediately stopped and bowed respectfully.

Qiu Tu was an actor of exceptional talent, and he was already accustomed to working with the original body in the "Punishment God Realm," so upon hearing the greetings from the Imperial Guards, Qiu Tu also wore Wei Lin's signature sunny smile and nodded slightly.
"You've worked hard. Things haven't been peaceful in the royal court lately, so everyone needs to stay alert."

"Yes, my lord!"

He offered a few words of encouragement, then casually inquired about a few details regarding the defense deployment. After confirming that everything was exactly as Wei Lin had told him, he waved for them to continue their patrol.

The entire process was smooth and flawless.

In fact, Qiu Tu even deliberately called out the names of a few imperial guards and asked them a few questions privately.

And so, traveling and inspecting along the way, Qiu Tu quickly circled the entire imperial city.

During this time, his brain was like a sophisticated instrument, working at high speed, memorizing the entire road and structure of the imperial city.

Whether he's investigating "Princess Star Moon," sabotaging the plans of "Destroying the Royal Court" and "Immortal Heavenly Tomb," or helping himself and Zhao Ji improve their strength, he needs to learn as much as possible about the Imperial City.

However, even with his expertise, there were still some places he hadn't visited, namely the core of the imperial city, the area where the tyrant of destruction resided.

Although he and Zhao Ji boasted every day about punching the "Chaos Witch" and kicking the "Destruction Tyrant".

However, as one of the top three strongest beings in the entire "Eternal Continent," the "Destruction Tyrant" still exerted too much pressure.

No one knows if he has any tricks up his sleeve that could see through Qiu Tu's disguise.

A wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall, so when Qiu Tu was impersonating Wei Lin, he still chose to keep his distance from him.

The "Imperial City" covers a very large area, and it took Qiu Tu about three hours to patrol around it.

After the inspection, Qiu Tu handed the earth dragon over to his men to take care of, and then, as Wei Lin always did, walked toward the "Jingyue Palace".

Arriving near the "Jingyue Hall" again, Qiu Tu did not go directly through the main gate this time. Instead, he followed the route given by Wei Lin and went around to the "Jingyue Hall" from the back.

As a fourth-level God King, it would be easy for him to bypass the Shadow Division members, whose strength was only that of first or second-level God Kings.

Although the Tyrant of Destruction had also ordered the deployment of high-level defensive formations around the area, even though Wei Lin volunteered to set them up, it was not difficult for him.

In the past, Wei Lin had secretly met with "Princess Xingyue" in this way without ever encountering any problems.

However, this time when it was Qiu Tu's turn, an unexpected incident occurred.

Just as he bypassed the last defensive array and was preparing to sneak into the hall, a figure suddenly appeared behind him without warning.

Qiu Tu's senses were incredibly sharp, so in that instant, he took a step forward, dodging the figure behind him, and then suddenly turned around.

As it turned out, the figure seemed to be giving him a warning, but did not attack directly. Instead, it simply stood quietly with its hands behind its back.

Qiu Tu's gaze fell warily on the figure, but when he saw the figure clearly, he couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

The figure was also wearing the Shadow Division's standard black armor, but the mask on his face was silver, gleaming with a cold, eerie light in the dim light—it was none other than the Silver-Masked God King!
'Cloud Cat God Queen?' Upon seeing that figure, Qiu Tu had a question in his mind, 'What is she doing here?'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu's body tensed up involuntarily, and his brain raced.

At this moment, the Silver-Masked God King spoke first.

"Commander of the Guards".

The Silver-Masked God King's voice was hoarse and deep, with a metallic quality, completely different from the Cloud Cat God King's charming voice.

Moreover, He directly revealed Wei Lin's identity, clearly indicating that He knew Wei Lin.

Qiu Tu hadn't considered this kind of contingency plan before, so he quickly had Wei Lin demonstrate it directly in the "Punishment God Realm," while he learned from him.

The next second, he bowed slightly, then frowned and said, "Lord Silver Mask, what are you doing here?"

His tone was modeled after Wei Lin's, carrying a perfectly appropriate hint of surprise and wariness.

Although Wei Lin has not been interrogated yet, judging from Wei Lin's reaction, he and the Silver-Masked God King know each other, but they don't have much of a personal relationship.

At this moment, the Silver-Masked God King also spoke.

He looked coldly at Qiu Tu, his eyes behind the silver mask like two bottomless pools of ice.

"That's the question I should be asking you." His voice held an undisguised coldness. "Why would a mere Imperial Guard Captain like you infiltrate the 'Pure Moon Palace'?"

"This doesn't seem to be within your authority."

Upon hearing the Silver-Masked God King's words, Qiu Tu's heart skipped a beat. However, Wei Lin seemed to have already prepared a backup plan in case he was discovered.

So Qiu Tu, mimicking Wei Lin, kept his expression largely unchanged and said neither arrogantly nor humbly, "Lord Silver Mask, I have come to the Pure Moon Palace to see Princess Star Moon."

"It was just a secret mission assigned to me by His Majesty."

"If you have any doubts, you can seek confirmation from His Majesty."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the Silver-Masked God King stood there with his hands behind his back, staring at Qiu Tu with eyes like ghostly flames for one second, two seconds, three seconds.
After a moment, He slowly withdrew His gaze, then said in a hoarse voice, "The experts of the 'Temple of Order' have arrived at the 'Royal Court' and should now be lurking near the Imperial City."

"His target is Xingyue, so the entire 'Jingyue Palace' is now completely under the control of the 'Shadow Division.'" "Whatever secret mission you have, put it on hold until that expert is dealt with."

"As for this time..."

"It won't happen again."

After saying that, the Silver-Masked God King didn't give Qiu Tu any chance to refute him. With a flicker, he disappeared into the darkness like a ghost, vanishing without a trace.

Watching the Silver-Masked God King disappear, Qiu Tu's expression didn't change much, but his heart was already deeply furrowed.

Because the Silver-Masked God King just revealed too much information.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that He directly told "Wei Lin" Qiu Tu's whereabouts and goals had already shocked Qiu Tu greatly.

After all, He was able to casually reveal Qiu Tu's information when He met Wei Lin, which clearly meant that He had already told the "Destruction Court" about Qiu Tu's information long ago.

It should be noted that before meeting the Silver-Masked God King today, Qiu Tu did not have much trust in the Cloud Cat God King, but he also did not have much doubt about him.

In his mind, Cloud Cat God King was just a somewhat arrogant troublemaker, but he could trust him in terms of both ability and loyalty.

As a result, this person he thought he could trust turned around and sold him out?
This is practically a slap in the face to Qiu Tu.

The problem is, Qiu Tu didn't notice anything unusual on the night they met.

Could it be that Cloud Cat God King is also playing some kind of "double agent" trick?

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but ask Zhao Ji, who was in the "Punishment God Realm".

"Sister Zhaoji, on the night we met Cloud Cat God King, did you sense her emotions?"

Qiu Tu carried out the infiltration plan, and Zhao Ji was naturally watching the whole process.

So when she heard Qiu Tu's words, she slowly opened her eyes and replied in a cool voice, "There is nothing wrong with her emotions."

"Although there were some things I was hiding, I didn't have any negative feelings towards you. I didn't want to betray you, I didn't want to put you to death."

"Of course. All I can perceive is the real-time emotion."

"She might have suddenly changed her mind after we left."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu frowned slightly.

Did Yunmao Shenwang not intend to betray himself at that time?
Why did her attitude change 180 degrees in just one day?

Could it really be as Zehime said: that she changed her mind after I left?

But thinking about this, Qiu Tu felt something was amiss.

He himself was a worker on the covert front and knew that people like him had the most resilient minds. It was very difficult for them to suddenly change their minds.

So, what exactly happened?

Thinking this way, Qiu Tu felt that the whole thing was starting to become strange and weird.

However, he also knew that things had to be prioritized and done one by one.

His immediate priority is to meet with "Princess Star and Moon" to see what her situation is and, incidentally, to see if he can obtain any new clues.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu temporarily suppressed his doubts, then took one last deep look at the spot where the Silver-Masked God King had disappeared, and followed the shadows into the "Pure Moon Palace".
Upon arriving at the "Jingyue Hall," the entire hall was unusually quiet.

The opulent furnishings and exquisite objects exuded a chilling, deathly aura in the dim light. The air was filled with the scent of fine incense, yet it could not dispel the palace's solitude.

Qiu Tu passed through the empty front hall, bypassed the standing maids, and then came to the beaded curtain of the inner hall.

Through the swaying beads, he saw a petite figure curled up on a huge soft couch, gazing blankly at the scenery outside the window.

She wore a light pink palace dress, and her long, black hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, making her small, delicate face appear even more exquisite.

Her skin was as white as snow, and she looked somewhat haggard, with a lingering melancholy between her brows. But her bright eyes, like stars in the sky, shone with a light that refused to be lonely.

I don't know if it was because I exposed my figure while admiring it, or if the "Star Moon Princess" had some kind of magical feeling.

Qiu Tu was just standing outside the beaded curtain when Princess Xingyue on the soft couch seemed to sense something, suddenly raising her head and her gaze falling precisely in Qiu Tu's direction.

When she saw Qiu Tu in his familiar silver armor, the melancholy in her eyes was instantly replaced by ecstasy.

"Wei Lin!"

She let out a joyful cry, like a happy little bird, and jumped off the soft couch. Without even putting on her shoes, she ran barefoot towards Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu didn't even have time to react. The next second, a fragrant breeze rushed into his arms.

The girl's soft body pressed tightly against his cold armor. The amazing elasticity and warmth transmitted through the metal made Qiu Tu's body involuntarily stiffen.

"You're finally here! I've missed you so much!"

Princess Star and Moon buried her face in his breastplate, her voice filled with deep grievance and longing, her arms tightly wrapped around his waist, as if she wanted to meld herself into his body.

Although Qiu Tu was a womanizer, he had seen many women who were passionate towards him in the past.

But such youthful energy and such passionate initiative are truly unprecedented.

He looked down, and before him was the girl's fluffy head, and to his nose was her sweet fragrance—a unique scent that blended floral and youthful body odor, pleasant and alluring.

That pure and beautiful feeling seems to be slightly different from other emotions.
'Is this what childhood sweetheart love is?'

Thinking about this, Qiu Tu suddenly felt it was interesting, and he couldn't help but open his mouth as if to say something.

Just then, the girl in his arms suddenly raised her head.

Those bright, sparkling eyes were so close, and there was still a trace of tears at the corner of her eyes. She looked pitiful, but her gaze was bold and direct.

"kiss Me."

As she spoke, the girl tiptoed, her snow-white chin slightly raised, and her luscious cherry lips came close to hers.
For a moment, even Qiu Tu, a seasoned womanizer, was stunned.

Qiu Tu:? ?
Is that correct?
