Chapter 1018 - 489: Princess Xi Arrives! (10,000 Words for Monthly Ticket!)

"The earth vein flower" is indeed too important—so important that Qiu Tu doesn't dare to allow even the slightest mishap.

Therefore, he must find an opportunity to personally obtain this rare and valuable cataclysmic material.

But, before that, Qiu Tu needs to gather as much detailed information as possible about Qiming City.

Why? There are two reasons.

First, to gain a comprehensive understanding of Qiming City, which would make it easier to take action after arriving there.

Even if things go awry, Qiu Tu could still have room to maneuver.

Second... Qiu Tu actually harbors a certain fantasy.

The earth vein flower is exceptionally precious and rare. The Evil Gods have been trying to decipher the reasons behind its formation, but to no avail.

Could he himself figure out the mystery of its formation and attempt to replicate it—nurturing a second, a third earth vein flower?

After all... The Evil Gods' failure to understand its creation is likely because they aren't human, unable to comprehend human thoughts and customs.

Thus, to better familiarize himself with Qiming City in advance, Qiu Tu needs a reliable intelligence expert to assist him in gathering and analyzing the information.

Thinking along these lines, Qiu Tu snapped back to the present, then raised his head to look at the stunning beauty before him. He asked, "Did you bring the documents?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Guan Xiao nodded charmingly with a smile. She then sashayed over to Qiu Tu, her high-heeled shoes clicking rhythmically on the floor, resembling an enchanting melody—each step weaving an indescribable allure.

Today, she had clearly put an effort into her outfit: a black form-fitting professional ensemble paired with a black pencil skirt, accentuating her curvaceous figure and exuding unmatched charisma.

It irresistibly made one wonder about the secrets and allure hidden beneath every inch of her fabric.

Reaching Qiu Tu's side, Guan Xiao placed the documents in front of him and parted her crimson lips delicately, saying, "Speaker, these are the documents."

Qiu Tu let out a deep "Hmm" and picked up the files.

While picking them up, he remarked indifferently, "Your skirt is too short. Be careful not to expose yourself."

Hearing this, Guan Xiao chuckled and replied, "Speaker, don't worry. I'm wearing panties underneath. If you don't believe me, take a look."

Having said that, she slid her hand down the smooth edge of her skirt.

Qiu Tu lowered his head to focus on the documents, remaining utterly unfazed.

Guan Xiao was like this—flirtatious beyond compare and always trying to tease him.

It's just a pair of panties; what's there to look at?

But then, as he was mulling this over, suddenly, he heard Guan Xiao let out a soft "Hmm?"

"Hmm? I remember wearing them."

Qiu Tu: ?!

Qiu Tu swore—he was genuinely just curious!

Besides, Guan Xiao had a history of going "commando" on occasion!

So, as reflex took over, he turned his head to look.

And there she was, seductively leaning against the table, hiding her laughter behind her hand as she giggled "hee-hee-hee."

Qiu Tu felt the onset of a headache: ....

He glared at Guan Xiao with annoyance. "You're about to join the upper echelons of Dongye State, yet you still enjoy joking around."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Guan Xiao smiled sweetly at him, then bent over and slid her hand beneath her skirt.

The next moment, she pulled down a pair of black silk panties.

Raising her leg to remove them completely, Guan Xiao promptly sat herself on Qiu Tu's lap, leaning into his ear and whispered softly, her breath warm and fragrant, "Speaker, now this isn't a joke, right?"

"There's really nothing underneath now. If you don't believe me... feel for yourself."

Qiu Tu: !!

To be honest, if Shen Lingshuang's level of seductiveness was a 1, Guan Xiao's was a solid 100!

Qiu Tu couldn't be blamed for losing control. In moments like this, what man could resist such temptation?!

So, Qiu Tu decided to stop bothering with the files or the discussion about "the earth vein flower!"

Men ought to handle important matters! After all... "handling" is the important matter!

With this thought in mind, Qiu Tu moved decisively—lifting Guan Xiao in one swift motion and placing her on the desk.

Seeing Qiu Tu's actions, Guan Xiao laughed even more gleefully, her laughter like tinkling bells. She struck a pose, lounging lazily like a cat.

This time, Qiu Tu had sent Guan Xiao to Dongye State specifically to make her his ally.

Whether or not she could be a true ally, Qiu Tu wasn't sure yet. But… Qiu Tu knew one thing—Guan Xiao could surely become his loyal "working" partner.

After all, what kind of loyal partner delivers themselves as a mount on the very first day?

A few days ago, Larilo had tried all sorts of ways to seduce Qiu Tu, but he hadn't had the chance to "clear the shelves" at the "supermarket."

This time… he truly went on a supermarket clearance spree.

With this, all the accumulated "stock" from several days was emptied on Guan Xiao in a single sweep.

Finally, Qiu Tu embraced Guan Xiao and lit a cigarette, taking satisfied drags.

At this moment, Guan Xiao was languidly curled up like a cat, nestled against Qiu Tu's chest.

Her long hair was cascading like a waterfall over one shoulder, occasionally brushed aside absentmindedly, releasing an intoxicating aroma that one couldn't help but be enchanted by.

Guan Xiao was the kind of woman who always knew the right moment for everything.

After finishing "important matters," it was naturally time to discuss "important matters."

Seeing that Qiu Tu still had energy to spare, she decided to broach the subject at hand. "Speaker, are you very interested in Qiming City?"

Qiu Tu heard this and nodded slightly. He flicked the ash from his cigarette and responded, "Yes."

Then, he offered the reasoning he'd prepared long ago. "Qiming City is not simple."

"Guo Huai, who oversees the City Hall framework, previously worked in Qiming City."

"His economic policies were all tested and implemented in Qiming City."

"And besides him, Shao Gang, the military's commander, is one of the few generals in Dongye State."
