Let them offer their loyalty!

Now, with King Kang just deceased, she was unexpectedly subjected to such humiliation.

Even knowing that this road was her own choice, at that moment, her heart was filled with shame.

She sat on the chair, with her chin lifted by Qiu Tu, looking up at him like gazing upon a deity.

With her head tilted up, her swan-like neck was fair, long, and beautifully lined, making her appear like a proud swan.

However, the circumstances clearly overwhelmed her strength, so after a standoff of 5 seconds, this proud swan sighed deeply and lowered her head...

Earlier on, Qiu Tu had heard the saying, "When the higher-ups open their mouths, the lower ranks run their legs off."

But at that time, he didn't have a clear understanding of it.

It wasn't until today that he suddenly grasped the meaning of this saying a bit.

No doubt, Princess Xi merely opened her mouth, and Qiu Tu's legs were moving in and out so much they were about to break.

And while running errands, Qiu Tu didn't forget to take out his large D driver's license and then drive gently.

The charm of mature women lies in how they can be more reserved than young girls when they should, but once they let go, they can be more liberated than anyone else.

Earlier, Princess Xi had some reservations, but once she resigned to her fate, she ceased struggling, allowing Qiu Tu to do as he pleased.

Just like that, Qiu Tu ran back and forth for over half an hour. Seeing Princess Xi was also tired and hungry, he gave her his old Beijing chicken roll.

Then, fearing she might choke, Qiu Tu specially prepared a portion of soy milk for her....

And thus, everything was over.

Without any expression, Princess Xi ran to the washroom next door to vomit.

As for Qiu Tu, he casually sat on Princess Xi's chair and picked up the queen's photo from the table, silently watching it.

If Qiu Tu remembered correctly, Princess Xi's real name was Lin Xi. Her now fallen family was the "Lin Family."

Before the Era of Disaster, the Lin Family had some influence in the Northwestern Region. Later, after the outbreak of the Era, they, alongside three other families, created the Seventh Sanctuary with the help of the Fourth and Fifth Sanctuaries.

Maybe because the four families were equally matched in strength, the Seventh Sanctuary had been rife with strife since its creation.

Later, the Lin Family declined and completely lost power, which improved the situation at the Seventh Sanctuary significantly.

Until now, the Sixth Sanctuary is still controlled by the Wei, Han, and Zhao families.

And from the intelligence just revealed by Princess Xi, the Lin and Kou families were on good terms before, and then Kou Xuan and Kou Yu's uncles married sisters of Lin Xi's father.

Thus, the two were connected from then on.

'These Sixth and Seventh Sanctuaries are truly chaotic.'

Previously, Qiu Tu thought the Eighth Sanctuary was chaotic enough. After all, the Central Hub's control wasn't enough, and in the Planning Area, middle-level officials had immense power over life and death.

But now, comparing them, the Eighth Sanctuary turned out to be the best sanctuary in the Northwestern Region.

Look at the Sixth and Seventh Sanctuaries, they're full of monsters.

Indeed, the world is just a huge improvised theater troupe.

And just as Qiu Tu was thinking this, Princess Xi walked back in.

Perhaps she had been choked earlier or felt offended by Qiu Tu feeding the chicken roll too deeply. Her face bore no extra emotions, as if nothing had happened just now.

Upon entering the inner hall, Princess Xi's gaze fell on Qiu Tu.

Without expression, she said, "Now.... I should have satisfied you."

"The remaining things are the 'Mountain Root', Cataclysmic Material, and dozens of alien beauties."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu smiled and joked, "Forget about the beauties. I'm not in the mood right now."

"But.... I do want to get the 'Mountain Root' immediately, can you give it to me?"

When Qiu Tu said this, Princess Xi's body stiffened.

When she first sought cooperation with Qiu Tu, she thought she still had control over the situation, so she promised the 'Mountain Root'.

Who would have known the situation would take a sharp turn, rendering her 'Mountain Root' a pie in the sky.

Worried that Qiu Tu might cancel the agreement upon knowing this, she had been deliberately hiding it.

But.... since the Kou family approached Qiu Tu yesterday, and now he was asking, it was clear everything was exposed.

Moreover, considering the late-night "snack" they shared, Princess Xi, after hesitating for a moment, decided to confess.

So, she walked to the window of the inner hall, looking at the fictitious scenery outside, and explained slowly, "Lord Qiu, I must confess something."

"The Kou family acted too quickly, causing the 'Mountain Root' to be left in the 'King Kang's Treasure Vault.' It's not in my possession now."

"Therefore.... I might only fulfill my promise after I ascend the Central Hub."

Worried that Qiu Tu might have been misled by the Kou family, she added, "Of course.... rest assured, the Kou family doesn't know how to open 'King Kang's Treasure Vault.' So, even though they're holding it now, the 'Mountain Root' is still very safe."

Regardless of the truth in Princess Xi's words, given their recent intimacy, Qiu Tu could only nod slightly, expressing belief.

Thus, after clearing the largest misunderstanding, the atmosphere between them became more harmonious.

So, they sat together again, discussing the upcoming situation at the Sixth Sanctuary.
