Chapter 983 - 477: Is Qiu Tu About to Become the Speaker? (10,000 Words for Monthly Tickets!)_2

"Muye is not dead yet. His aura as a Peak Fifth Rank Great Evil God is enough to deter other evil gods."

"There won't be any issues for a short while."

"Then, the remaining areas are Wei Bei and Butterfly's five regions."

"To refine these five regions as soon as possible, we need five people to act together."

"Her Highness Zhao Ji, you, and myself, that makes three people. Thus, there are still two vacancies."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Larilo paused and then asked, "What should we do?"

Qiu Tu held up his right index finger, "If you trust me, I can find two experts to refine those regions simultaneously and secure them first."

Larilo sensed something was a bit off upon hearing this, but couldn't quite put her finger on it.

She always felt as though she was being sold out and was even counting the money on behalf of the seller.

However.... She quickly calculated in her mind and realized that even if Qiu Tu were scheming to swallow those three regions, it didn't matter.

Because she still had control over Muye's eight regions, plus the 'Eastern City District,' she could still ignite nine stars.

Thus, she generously waved her hand and said, "Then let's go by your plan."

"Those regions are yours to handle now."

Upon hearing Larilo's words, Qiu Tu smiled.

Then he nodded and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, I will absolutely secure these regions intact for you."

After that, Qiu Tu added, "But.... The sooner the better."

"Wei Bei and Butterfly have been dead for a day, it's hard to ensure that no other evil gods are coveting."

"So.... Your Highness, please wait here for a moment, I will go to mobilize the manpower right now. Then I will refine the earth vein nodes in those regions together with you."

After speaking, Qiu Tu immediately got up, preparing to leave.

Seeing Qiu Tu so dedicated to her affairs, Larilo showed a hint of hesitation on her face.

After a moment, she spoke, "There's no need to rush that much."

"I can take the lead, reach the target region, and like a Whale Shark, establish a 'Regional Passage' connecting those regions with 'East City Area'."

"This way, you all can save a lot of time on the road."

Upon hearing Larilo's words, Qiu Tu timely showed a smile and then he said, "Then I'll trouble you, Your Highness."

Then, the two talked for a bit more, and then Qiu Tu was ready to reverse the world and leave.

Just then, Larilo, after a moment of hesitation, called him again.

"Qiu Tu, wait a moment."

Later, Qiu Tu turned back to look toward Larilo.

Larilo's deep and indifferent eyes, at some point, had filled with a kind of girlish sentiment.

She carefully said, "You just said... you want to promote to the Peak Fifth Rank?"

Larilo hadn't finished speaking when Qiu Tu quickly waved his hand to interrupt her,

"Your Highness, you are mistaken."

"It is not I who wants to advance to the Peak Fifth Rank, but you want me to."

"I don't have a high pursuit for my own power. If you are satisfied with the current situation, then whether I advance to the Peak Fifth Rank or not, it doesn't matter."

"And if you are still a bit discontent and want to surpass Her Highness Zhao Ji, then... you might consider letting me advance to Peak Fifth Rank first."

"After all.... you know my strength."

After that, Qiu Tu nonchalantly waved his hand and then said, "Your Highness, take your time to think about it. There's no rush."

"Her Highness Zhao Ji probably won't advance to the Sixth Rank anytime soon. You still have time...."

Having said that, Qiu Tu didn't wait for Larilo's reaction and directly reversed the world, leaving the 'East City Area'."

And watching the place where Qiu Tu's figure disappeared, Larilo's delicate face that resembled an angel's, flashed through a myriad of expressions.

Rationally, Larilo always felt that Qiu Tu was playing tricks on her, seemingly with no good intentions.

Yet.... Emotionally, she felt that she might be evaluating the gentleman's belly with a villain's heart.

After all... not only did Qiu Tu resurrect her; he helped her return to the position of Domain Master and also, at great risk, rescued her from her own sister!

And disregarding everything else and just considering the currently undecided 12 'Boundless Heart Sea Region'.

Without Qiu Tu, based on Larilo's understanding of Zhao Ji,

Zhao Ji would most likely have just refined a region casually, then would not care about the other regions.

With Zhao Ji's proud and capricious nature, she wouldn't think about reserving the other regions for herself.

So.... putting it bluntly, those 12 'Boundless Heart Sea Region' were originally acquired by Qiu Tu for herself.

Without Qiu Tu, there wouldn't be these 12 regions!

And thinking of her own pathetic combat power...

Every time she fought her sister, her sister was holding back, single-handedly crushing her.

Thus.... even if she refined nine regions, advanced to Peak Fifth Rank, or even Sixth Rank, her power wouldn't increase much, and she still wouldn't be a match for her sister!

So.... could it be a better choice to let Qiu Tu promote by offering him the regions?

Thinking this, Larilo gently bit her crimson-like-blood lips, hesitating....

...

And at this moment, if Qiu Tu were here, he would know his tactics had worked again....
