Let them offer their loyalty!

She looked at Qiu Tu and said expressionlessly, "It seems that you've indeed made great progress recently. Let me gauge your strength once more."

This battle lasted till dawn, until Tang Feifei finally conceded and it came to a complete end.

Not allowing Tang Feifei to complete the Cataclysm Path, Qiu Tu contentedly held Tang Feifei as he fell asleep.

However, what he didn't notice was... in her dreams, Tang Feifei seemed to be dreaming of something, her hands constantly grasping unconsciously, as if learning to grab the Cataclysmic Power like him...

...

The next day. Qiu Tu woke up early. Tang Feifei was no longer beside him.

Qiu Tu washed up and then went downstairs.

Tang Feifei didn't train in the morning as usual, but stood blankly in the yard, practicing the grabbing motions that Qiu Tu did towards the void.

Because "No Work, No Gain" was still hanging, Qiu Tu was still in the "Absolute Perception" state.

So, he could clearly see Tang Feifei... grasping nothing at all, not even touching the edge of the Cataclysmic Power, simply fumbling blindly.

Thus, Qiu Tu took the warm water handed over by a maid, sipped, and then asked, "What are you doing?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tang Feifei snapped out of her trance, shook her head, and said softly, "Nothing."

After saying this, she seemed to remember something, rummaged through her pockets, and casually tossed something to Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu easily caught it with his hand and upon closer inspection, it was a ring.

Tang Feifei said coldly, "The 'exchange ring' you wanted."

Hearing Tang Feifei's words, Qiu Tu looked up in surprise at Tang Feifei.

He hadn't forgotten how upset Tang Feifei was over this ring just two days ago.

So... this woman, despite being furious, eventually asked Elder Tang for this ring because of him?

At that moment, Qiu Tu felt a warmth in his heart.

He had already thought of ways to sweet-talk Tang Feifei into willingly helping him get the ring.

Unexpectedly, Tang Feifei didn't need any coaxing from him at all.

Perhaps sensing Qiu Tu's emotions, Tang Feifei turned her face away, avoiding Qiu Tu's gaze, and feigned indifference saying, "Don't misunderstand. It's your compensation."

After saying this, she added, "Reward from last night. If you keep working this hard in the future, I will keep rewarding you."

These familiar words prompted Qiu Tu to nostalgically recall Xinjie City. A smile inadvertently spread across his face, "Guest, since you're so generous, how about I offer some after-sales service?"

.....

And so, the morning quickly passed.

By noon, Qiu Tu returned to his mansion, and a new batch of information had also arrived.

Without even looking, Qiu Tu could already guess there would be a reversal.

After all, with Kou Xuan's divine calculations, even if he had a 99.99% certainty that Princess Xi wouldn't backstab, he would surely keep a backup plan for that 0.01% chance.

Sure enough, it was just as Qiu Tu expected.

After Princess Xi labeled the Kou family as "traitorous rebels" and needed to "quell the rebellion,"

The Kou family not only completed the national political transformation within a day but also presented King Kang's authentic will and secret decrees.

The will contained what Kou Xuan had previously announced publicly: transforming the government system from a Dual Monarchic System to a constitutional monarchy.

The secret decree exposed the hidden story of "Princess Xi poisoning the Queen for ascension."

When Princess Xi first came under King Kang, she was just an ordinary female official. Yet, she gradually gained King Kang's trust through her relationship with the Queen.

Later, in order to win over King Kang, Princess Xi poisoned the Queen.

The Queen, unaware, requested King Kang, before her death, to marry Princess Xi and let her take care of him in her stead.

To ensure the Queen's peaceful departure, King Kang agreed to this request and upheld it even after passing away.

Thus, Princess Xi became King Kang's second wife. (Chapter 490)

But what Princess Xi didn't know is that King Kang was always troubled by his Queen's death, thus he consistently dispatched the Kou family to investigate.

And eventually, the investigation traced back to Princess Xi...
