Let them offer their loyalty!
Chapter 858 - 438: Turmoil in Dongye State! (10,000 characters for Monthly Ticket!)

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu also realized that he was being overly optimistic.

After all... all of this hinged on Zhao Ji successfully breaking through to the Sixth Order in the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Region."

If Zhao Ji failed her breakthrough and returned to the "Boundless Heart Sea - Peripheral Area," only to find that Larilo had taken over one of her nine regions, and she herself wrecked the other eight, wouldn't she feel like slapping herself to death?

Thus... before he made his move, he must confirm Zhao Ji's condition.

Confirm that she succeeded in her breakthrough and would not return to the peripheral area.

Only then could he quietly take over the nest.

Thinking this way, Qiu Tu felt his decision to let Larilo "invade" Zhao Ji's region was indeed wise.

Whatever happened, Larilo would be the one to take the brunt of it, while he could just hide behind and stealthily reap the benefits...

Meanwhile, unaware if they had detected Qiu Tu harboring such malicious thoughts,

Huang Mei Mother and Daughter looked at each other, then hugged closer together...

By nature, Huang Mei was a timid creature. During this period, Qiu Tu had often threatened and tempted them, so they were both fearful and apprehensive of him.

If it weren't for the occasional piece of "Boundless Divine Crystal" that Qiu Tu used to entice them, they probably wouldn't even dare to speak.

At this moment, Qiu Tu regained his composure. His gaze returned to the Huang Mei Mother and Daughter.

This mother and daughter duo were indeed extremely beautiful.

The mother, named An Yun, looked to be around twenty-one or twenty-two years old. Although she already had a daughter, she still resembled a freshly blooming lily, pure with a hint of naive grace.

And the daughter, named Sui Sui, looked about three or four years old, with chubby cheeks like a delicate, adorable doll.

Moreover, fascinatingly... the "Huang Mei" reproduced asexually. Upon reaching a certain age and having accumulated enough Cataclysmic Power, they would naturally become pregnant and give birth to their daughters.

According to An Yun, she had given birth to "Sui Sui" because she accidentally discovered a large Fifth Order "Boundless Divine Crystal."

After absorbing it, her power surged, reaching the Third Order.

Unable to absorb all the energy of the "Boundless Divine Crystal," the excess Cataclysmic Power was stored inside her body.

Before long, she realized she was pregnant, a tiny life budding within her.

Afterward, she gave birth to Sui Sui.

Twenty-one or twenty-two years old, a virgin, a mother... this unusual combination of words almost maxed out An Yun's character buffs.

Moreover, Larilo once mentioned that "Huang Mei's" body was semi-transparent, so one could clearly see "comings and goings." Thus... even a gentleman like Qiu Tu, who usually kept away from women, felt a bit tempted.

However, he knew that in the face of a legendary creature like "Huang Mei," one must not rush.

Thus, for some time now, Qiu Tu had been cultivating a relationship with them, while also... extracting information.

Thinking thus, Qiu Tu came back to his senses and continued to inquire about information.

He said, "So, are all the Cataclysmic Creatures and Evil Gods in the 'Boundless Heart Sea - Peripheral Area' from the 'core area'?"

Upon hearing this, An Yun, holding her daughter Sui Sui, hastily shook her head.

Her big watery eyes pitifully gazing at Qiu Tu, she then said, "Actually.... 99% of the Cataclysmic Creatures and Evil Gods do not come from the 'core area.'"

"Although both the 'peripheral area' and the 'core area' belong to the 'Boundless Heart Sea'... in reality, there's a huge gap."

"The 'core area' has its native beings. The 'peripheral area' has its native beings."

"The Cataclysmic Creatures you've seen, and most of the Evil Gods, are actually born in the peripheral area."

"Only a very small number of Evil Gods and Cataclysmic beings fled from the 'core area.'"

"And they naturally possess some abilities distinct from other Cataclysmic beings and Evil Gods."

Hearing An Yun's words, the images of Zhao Ji and Larilo involuntarily surfaced in Qiu Tu's mind...

This pair of Evil God sisters seemed to have fled from the 'core area.'

Qiu Tu knew less about Zhao Ji, not very clear about what was special about her, only knowing that she was exceptionally strong.

But Larilo... Qiu Tu was all too familiar with.

Just from the fact that after her downfall, her Soul Remnant and consciousness could revive, demonstrated her extraordinary nature.

—Qiu Tu initially thought all Evil Gods were as difficult to deal with.

But since personally slaughtering Evil Gods Xie Yue and Whale Shark, Qiu Tu realized, it was only Larilo who was special.

As for... 'Yellow Charm' and various information, Larilo delivered them easily, even clearly knowing how to deal with 'Yellow Charm,' further proving her depth.

'This must be why Zhao Ji wants to return to the 'Boundless Heart Sea - Core Region,' right?'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look at An Yun and Sui Sui, then asked, "So why did your 'Yellow Charm' flee to the 'peripheral area'?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, An Yun and Sui Sui immediately lowered their heads, remaining silent.

These past few days, every time Qiu Tu asked this question, the mother and daughter never responded, and Qiu Tu had gotten used to it.

Thus, he did not continue to press and instead took out a nail-sized 'Boundless Divine Crystal,' tossing it into the 'Soul Shackles' altar.
