Chapter 499: Meeting Princess Xi in a Dream (10,000 Words for Monthly Tickets!)_3
The next second, the handsome and arrogant man appeared in front of Princess Xi.
Upon seeing that it was Qiu Tu, even with Princess Xi's composure, a look of surprise and delight couldn't help but show on her face.
"Qiu... Speaker?"
Princess Xi looked at Qiu Tu in disbelief.
Qiu Tu stood up with a smile and said, "Surprised?"
Princess Xi's eyes flickered for a moment, then she nodded seriously, "Indeed, very surprised."
Qiu Tu smiled and moved away from the main seat, then said, "The affairs in the state have been quite numerous these past few days, often keeping me busy until midnight."
"So... I haven't been able to meet with the Princess as planned. Please forgive me."
Princess Xi didn't believe a word of Qiu Tu's excuses.
However, she was satisfied with Qiu Tu's presence now, regardless of whether he was just making up a reason to brush her off.
Thinking of this, she gradually regained her composure as a princess. Then she gracefully walked to the main seat, sat down, and looked at Qiu Tu, who had moved to the side. She asked, "Speaker Qiu is quite hard to schedule. I didn't expect that after waiting for so many days, I could finally meet you."
Hearing Princess Xi's words, Qiu Tu gave an unruffled smile.
This was exactly the effect he wanted!
"Emotional Fraud Manual" [108 Ways to Enhance Feelings] no. 52: Disappointment and Surprise.
When you are sure you can "control" the girl, it's appropriate to use the "disappointment and surprise" technique.
Without explicitly responding to her needs, make her exhaust her patience over time and become disappointed.
Then, at the last minute, fulfill her expectations and give her a surprise.
In such cases, a girl's favorability increases significantly faster than directly giving her a surprise.
After all, as the saying goes: tugging at emotions is the core element of relationships between men and women. If you can control or influence a girl's emotions, then... she is destined not to leave you.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu temporarily put aside the "knowledge point" and responded with a smile, "Princess has always wanted to meet me. Surely it's not because you've taken a liking to me and want me to be your lover?"
Seeing the slight anger frozen on Princess Xi's face, Qiu Tu decided to ease off, and switched topics,
"So... if I'm not mistaken, it's because there's something important you want to discuss with me."
"Since it's a matter to discuss, once the matter is resolved, it's over; why worry about how long you've waited?"
"After all, if cooperation is possible, one conversation may suffice to settle everything, but if cooperation isn't possible, responding to you daily is pointless, isn't it?"
Hearing Qiu Tu's twisted logic, Princess Xi reined in the expression that had turned slightly sullen from his teasing.
Then she laughed lightly and said, "Speaker Qiu makes a valid point."
"Then I won't dwell on how long we've waited to connect. Let's get straight to the point."
After speaking, Princess Xi's expression turned incomparably serious.
Possibly because it was in a dream, she was dressed in a golden gown, wearing a crown, looking regal and elegant.
She looked at Qiu Tu and said earnestly, "Speaker Qiu, my invitation for you to come is actually to seek collaboration, to save the Sixth Sanctuary and save humanity."
Hearing Princess Xi speak so dramatically, Qiu Tu couldn't help but curiously ask, "What crisis has the Sixth Sanctuary and the Human Camp encountered?"
Hearing Qiu Tu's question, Princess Xi's blue eyes stared at him intently, saying seriously, "The Kou family has betrayed us."
"They have betrayed humanity and joined some Evil God Organization."
"With the support of the Evil God, they have grown rapidly and quickly occupied half of the Sixth Sanctuary."
"They intend to control the Sixth Sanctuary and then steal the core weapons data, like nuclear bombs, for the Evil God."
"Letting the Evil God learn about nuclear bombs and other weapons of mass destruction, develop corresponding counter-strategies, and then help the Evil God utterly crush humanity."
Hearing Princess Xi's words, Qiu Tu's expression turned peculiar. He looked at Princess Xi and slowly said, "Princess, the things you've just said."
"Today, someone else told me the exact same thing."
"It's just... the protagonist was changed to you. It was you who betrayed humanity and joined the 'Fog Hidden Association'..."
