Chapter 970 - 473: Qiu Tu: I Captured Muye (10,000 Words for Monthly Ticket!)

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji spoke coldly, "Too troublesome. Might as well just kill him."

As she spoke, she was about to glare.

Seeing Zhao Ji not playing by the rules, Qiu Tu quickly tried to persuade her, "Not troublesome, not at all."

"I am already at the Peak Fourth Rank and have also become the 'Domain Master'. Therefore, I just need to acquire some more resources, wait a few days, then I can advance to Fifth Order."

"At that point, I can directly extract intelligence from Muye's mouth."

Saying this, perhaps worried Zhao Ji would not agree, Qiu Tu analyzed further for her.

"Actually... this doesn't interfere with your plans."

"Even if you're preparing to refine another region, reaching Nine Stars, and then heading to the 'Boundless Heart Sea - Core Region' to advance, it will take time, right?"

"We can completely proceed in parallel."

"This way, it won't delay your affairs, and also gives you an alternate plan."

This time, Zhao Ji began to seriously consider Qiu Tu's proposal.

After quietly contemplating for two seconds, she did not respond to Qiu Tu's question, but instead gestured with her hand, and a regular icosahedron crystal appeared in her hand.

The crystal was sparkling and translucent, shimmering with multicolored light, giving the sensation that one's spirit could be sucked away just by looking at it.

With the icosahedron crystal in hand, Zhao Ji beckoned towards the rotund mass, Muye.

In the next second, multicolored light shot out of the crystal, enveloping Muye. Then, as the light converged, Muye was also retracted into the crystal.

As the light vanished and Qiu Tu looked back at the crystal, the originally sparkling and translucent crystal now contained the figure of the round mass, unmistakably Muye.

"Here you go."

Zhao Ji casually tossed the crystal to Qiu Tu, who hurriedly caught it.

Although Zhao Ji did not explain, Qiu Tu speculated that this was probably an advanced Cataclysmic treasure, similar to the 'Soul Shackles' altar.

Guessing what Qiu Tu was thinking, Zhao Ji said, "This Treasure is called the 'Crystal Cage', also known as the '20-Faced Crystal'."

"Its effect is to seal creatures that have lost their ability to resist and are not above the Sixth Tier."

"Muye is now in your hands. After you advance to the Fifth Order, interrogate to find the whereabouts of Mountain Root."

Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu looked down at the 'Crystal Cage' in his hand and responded, "Alright, sis. You can rest assured, I will definitely complete the mission."

Seeing that Qiu Tu had finished speaking, Zhao Ji waved her hand, intending to send Qiu Tu away.

However, at this moment, Qiu Tu suddenly spoke again, "Oh, sis... I also wanted to ask."

"Today, three Deities have fallen. How do you plan to allocate their territories?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji slowly lifted her head to look at him, her gaze filled with coldness.

"You're interested?"

Her expression was such that if Qiu Tu dared to be greedy, it seemed she would be ready to slap him dead.

But Qiu Tu was very clever; he immediately shook his head, "Not me, Little Lar."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji's expression faltered slightly.

Qiu Tu said, "I was thinking... a Fifth Order Evil God can only refine a total of 9 regions. Your Highness, you now have 8."

"Thus, you can only refine at most one more region to reach fulfillment."

"In that case, Muye and the other two Evil Gods will probably leave eight or nine, maybe even more than ten regions vacant."

"Better to keep the advantages within the family rather than letting others benefit. It's better to have your sister profit from them."

"So... I was thinking, maybe we could give the other few regions to Little Lar."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji went silent.

She was silent for a full two seconds before she coldly uttered, "Fine."

Having said that, she suddenly asked, "Do you really like Larilo?"

Hearing Zhao Ji's question, Qiu Tu smiled, "Of course."

"Although Little Lar is sort of lazy. Aside from making love with me, she does nothing else."

"But... she is genuinely good to me with all her heart."

"So, I like her a lot too."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words that sounded serious yet laced with lewdness, as if joking yet clearly sincere, Zhao Ji fell silent for another two seconds.

Then she coldly spoke, "Go and bring Larilo here."

After she spoke, she waved her hand. Suddenly, Qiu Tu felt the world spin.

When he regained his senses.

He found himself back in the real world.

'My sister-in-law is really cold.' He thought.

Thinking thus, Qiu Tu scanned the environment he was in.

In the narrow alleyway, dilapidated shacks stood crammed together like haphazardly stacked blocks, on the verge of collapse.

The road was uneven and pot-holed, with mingled stagnant water and trash emitting waves of foul stench. Even though it was winter, it still attracted swarms of rats and cockroaches roaming around.

Drunkards reeling from drink, children with shifty eyes sneaking around, women hurrying on their way, and... soldiers dressed in tattered clothes holding guns, looking lackadaisical as they patrolled.

This was...

Qiu Tu's pupils shrank slightly.

'Disaster Zone?'

Realizing this, Qiu Tu also reflexively understood.

As a Fourth-order Catastrophe-evolver, his body and spirit had united. Thus, when Zhao Ji took him to the 'Trading Area', returning to reality would naturally bring him to the 'Trading Market'.

With this in mind, Qiu Tu recalled the orientation of the 'Trading Market'.

The 'Trading Market' bordered Dongye State and was the largest trading hub in the outer regions of the Disaster Zone.
