Let them offer their loyalty!

So, she couldn't be bothered to keep arguing and simply decided to give up and hang there like a broken jar.

Qiu Tu saw this and resumed his proper posture.

With his hands in his pockets, he tilted his head to look at Larilo and said, "Your Highness, honestly, I think we're the same type of people."

"Both of us are pretty carefree, free-spirited individuals."

"We don't pursue long-term relationships. One-night love is best, but even a couple of hours works."

"Everyone is their own independent soul—just do whatever you want."

As she heard Qiu Tu's words, a trace of contemplation flickered in Larilo's crimson eyes.

Qiu Tu continued, "So… when I discovered the 'Earth Vein Flower' this time, I can swear I didn't think of you."

"Seriously, it's the 'Earth Vein Flower'! "

"Practically priceless Cataclysmic Material!"

"It could smooth my path to becoming a Tier Six Cataclysmics!"

"How could I possibly spare a thought for you!"

Perhaps because Qiu Tu's words were so blunt, so ridiculous, Larilo couldn't help but be amused.

Seeing her reaction, Qiu Tu pressed on, "Besides… I've actually thought about this."

"You've seen the power dynamic between us."

"In front of me, you're like I am when facing your sister."

"And… your cultivation talent isn't particularly strong. Even if I gave you the 'Earth Vein Flower,' how long would it take for you to reach Fifth Rank?"

"How long would it take from there to step up to Peak Fifth Rank through cultivation?"

"Five years? Ten years? Fifteen years?"

Larilo stopped laughing, and her crimson eyes glared at Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu acted as though he didn't see her glare and continued giving an impassioned speech.

He said, "Besides… does your strength even matter?"

"It doesn't!"

"If I don't like you, even if you were a Fourth-Order Evil God, I wouldn't want to be with you; but if I liked you, even if you were a Fifth, Sixth, or Seventh-Order Evil God! I'd still want to be with you!"

Larilo: ??

Qiu Tu coughed and then said, "So… that's why I decided to focus on strengthening myself first, and then deal with your issues later."

Pausing briefly, Qiu Tu said, "Your Highness, have you forgotten about the agreement we made back then?"

When Qiu Tu mentioned it, Larilo couldn't help but recall the scene where he tricked her and swindled the "Boundless Heart Sea Region" from her. (Chapter 476)

She chuckled softly, then suddenly shouted, "Attack Lü An! Capture Zhao Ji alive!"

Qiu Tu laughed and said, "Exactly. Then you'll be able to command her—if you tell her to lie down, she has to lie down; if you tell her to crawl, she has to crawl; if you tell her to kneel, she has to kneel!"

"She'll obey your every word."

Thinking about the good times she and Qiu Tu used to share, Larilo's mood visibly improved.

However… of course she wouldn't let Qiu Tu off so easily.

It was rare to have a chance to hold leverage over Qiu Tu, so she fixed her crimson gaze on him, pondered for a moment, and said, "Alright. I'll truly forgive you this time. I won't be mad at you anymore."

"But… I also need to punish you by making you do a few things."

As she said this, perhaps concerned that Qiu Tu might refuse, Larilo added, "And, of course… if you can accomplish them, I'll reward you too."

In moments like this, it's always best to agree first and worry about actually doing them later.

So, Qiu Tu declared righteously, "No problem! Tell me!"

Larilo's eyes spun mischievously before she said, "I want you to seduce Princess Xi. Make her submit beneath you as your subordinate!"

"Then… I want you to cook up Ai Li's three best girlfriends in a stew and throw a wild party."

"Oh right, and also! Deputy Speaker Rain Butterfly looks pretty nice! Sleep with her for me!"

"Also, also! Tang Feifei and Liu Fuping—don't overlook those two women either!"

Still hanging from the tree, Larilo babbled excitedly for ages, getting more and more carried away.

Qiu Tu silently listened to the whole thing, then coughed and said, "Alright, I've got the details about the rewards."

"Now let's talk about the punishment."

Still dangling from the tree, Larilo tilted her head slightly, and a question mark slowly appeared over her head: ?
