For Larilo, her feelings towards Qiu Tu had always been complicated.
After all, during the time she spent with him, Qiu Tu was a shape-shifter in Larilo's eyes.
If she hadn't seen Qiu Tu's Cataclysm Path, and known they were both about "Life", even about "Reproduction".
Then, Larilo would probably suspect Qiu Tu's Cataclysm Path was "Chaos".
She felt Qiu Tu was full of contradictions.
He claimed to be her believer, with a professed affection for her; yet everything he did seemed designed to infuriate her. Even though he was on the verge of infuriating her to death, he ended up... saving her.
Even though Qiu Tu had explained to Larilo—this was all done for the sake of putting on a show for the "Human Camp".
But to be honest, Larilo did not believe it one bit.
She was no longer the naive Soul Remnant that Qiu Tu used to fool around with. Now, she had regained her Fourth Order strength! Her intelligence had reclaimed the high ground!
So, she could see the true reason for Qiu Tu's contradictory behavior at a glance.
Only this could perfectly explain Qiu Tu's abnormal and contradictory actions.
"I really do love perverts..."
Thinking this, an image of Qiu Tu's "Illusion of the Law" emerged in Larilo's mind.
A man and a woman entwined together.
"And a pervert of the 'Reproduction' path at that. I like it even more!"
Thinking this, Larilo got up, and her gaze swept over the most important treasure vault of her sister Zhao Ji.
Four Fourth-Order Evil Gods' "Boundless Divine Crystals" and one Fifth Order Evil God's "Boundless Divine Crystal", three of the Fourth Order's had been used by her.
Even so, to make her own strength more stable, she secretly chipped off a piece of the Fifth Order Evil God's "Boundless Divine Crystal".
This was Zhao Ji's treasure.
Taking such a piece was already overstepping the mark. Taking any more, Larilo was genuinely worried that once Zhao Ji returned, she would literally slap her dead!
And it was precisely because of that piece of Fifth Order "Boundless Divine Crystal" that Larilo's strength had recovered so swiftly. That was why she felt confident to go back to Qiu Tu.
"I'm an old Fourth Order Evil God, surely I won't get caught by Qiu Tu again, right?"
"Hmm... I'll go back to see what he is up to first. Then I'll take the opportunity to regain my strength."
"When my strength is completely restored to the middle layer of the Fourth Order, I'll think of a way to capture him and use him to block Star Fury!"
Thinking this, Larilo started happily searching for things in Zhao Ji's treasure vault.
Soon, she found an outfit Zhao Ji liked and a Cataclysmic treasure for storage.
Then she put on the clothes, casually grabbed some Cataclysmic Material left by Zhao Ji, and packed the last Fourth-Order Evil God's "Boundless Divine Crystal" into the Cataclysmic treasure, before leaving Zhao Ji's treasure vault...
She passed through layers of gravel, and the verdant grassland overhead, to rise back above ground.
Larilo soared into the air, then determined her direction and sped towards the "East City Area" near the edge of Xinjie City!
As she left, the previously thriving, vibrant miniature grassland seemed to lose its source of strength, gradually yellowing and withering.
Soon, the entire verdant grassland turned to the same color as the desert.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the withered weeds of the miniature grassland crumbled to dust, blending into the sky of yellow sand, indistinguishable from it...
In Xinjie City, on the 12th floor of the Investigation Bureau, in Qiu Tu's office.
Qiu Tu finally stopped pretending.
He leaned back in his chair, watching Guan Xiao with interest, then smiled and said, "It seems Minister Guan really has some tricks up her sleeve."
After praising her, Qiu Tu pointed at Tan Huimin, who Guan Xiao was holding in her arms, and then asked, "But why... did you have to knock Secretary Tan out when you came in?"
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Guan Xiao gave a charming smile and replied, "Chief~~ don't you think this is more exciting?"
As she spoke, she produced a rope from somewhere and skillfully tied up Tan Huimin.
But... perhaps intentionally, her knots resembled the Turtle Shell Binding, which made Tan Huimin's voluptuous figure even more prominent.
After tying the knots, Guan Xiao clapped her hands with satisfaction, "Done."
Then she winked at Qiu Tu, "Chief~~ shall we put Secretary Tan by the bed later?"
"If you like, you can also... lie on Secretary Tan's legs."
At that moment, only one thought ran through Qiu Tu's mind: You're really saucy...
Indeed, when it came to playing around, Guan Xiao was the one to watch.
Tonight, he was in for a treat.
Thinking this, with a thought from Qiu Tu, the office door closed with a loud "bang!".
Guan Xiao jumped, then turned to see what was happening.
But the moment she turned her head, she heard a "ripping..." sound near her ear.
With a question mark floating above her head, Guan Xiao had no idea what had happened.
Then the next second, several sharp "ripping!" sounds!
Her clothes suddenly turned into pieces of fabric in the air!
She felt a chill on her body and reflexively covered her chest.
But at that moment, Qiu Tu, sitting in the Bureau Chief's chair with one hand on his cheek, gestured with his other hand towards Guan Xiao.
Then he said, "Come here. My Minister Guan. Let's see if you truly want to offer yourself, or wish to work like an ox..."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, a fervor flashed in Guan Xiao's eyes.
Only she knew how long she had waited for this day.
Perhaps because she had received professional espionage and counter-espionage training at the "Officer Academy".
