Chapter 1851: Chapter 743: Took a God-Sister? (Monthly Ticket Request)_3

Their eyes met. Qiu Tu’s gaze was sharp and cold, while Old Bai’s was gentle, harmlessly gentle.

Qiu Tu was silent for two seconds before suddenly breaking into a laugh, then said, "Old Bai, with our relationship, even if I don’t help others, I’ll definitely help you."

Saying this, Qiu Tu extended his hand with a smile and said, "Pleasure to cooperate."

Seeing Qiu Tu agree, Old Bai smiled and extended his hand as well.

Their hands clasped across the chessboard, and time seemed to stand still at that moment.

A moment later, the tense atmosphere eased, their hands released each other, and the smiles on their faces grew more genuine.

Qiu Tu tossed the black pawn in his hand into the chess box with a smile, then said, "Now that we’ve discussed the cooperation, it’s time to talk about the reward."

"Old Bai, with our relationship, you definitely won’t shortchange me, right?"

Old Bai was momentarily dumbfounded by Qiu Tu’s words.

He couldn’t help but look at Qiu Tu. Qiu Tu looked back at him with an innocent expression, even blinking his eyes deliberately,

"Weren’t all those conditions just to help you complete the mission? So where’s my reward?"

Old Bai: ....

Old Bai felt both amused and helpless.

During his time with Qiu Tu, although he knew Qiu Tu understood the "Art of Thick Black" well, he didn’t expect it to this extent.

Invading the "Star Forging Divine System" was initially meant to help Qiu Tu with urgent matters; providing ten "Order Path" Heavenly Gods was to assist Qiu Tu in elevating to a first-ranked Divine King; the ceasefire was also supposed to bring Qiu Tu both fame and fortune in the "Order Temple."

It was originally a win-win deal, but it turned into something needing extra compensation just to help the "Chaos Camp" complete a mission.

However, Old Bai had a particularly good temper, so even if Qiu Tu was pushing it, he merely shook his head with a smile and said, "Then tell me, what reward do you want?"

Qiu Tu didn’t hold back, counting on his fingers, "I want 10 ’Heavenly God’s Positional Frame’, 20 pieces of Cataclysmic Treasures, 300 Eighth Rank and above ’Boundless Divine Crystals’, 50 tons of third-grade Cataclysmic Material, and...."

Listening to Qiu Tu’s conditions one after another, a vein throbbed on Old Bai’s forehead, and he said irritably, "Shall I give you the ’Chaotic Western Capital’ as well, do you want it?"

Hearing this, Qiu Tu’s eyes lit up, "That sounds great. So Old Bai, when do you plan to move out?"

"Pfft." Jasmine, who was serving nearby, accidentally let out a laugh.

Old Bai’s expression froze, nearly getting infuriated by Qiu Tu.

Seeing that if you give him an inch, he takes a mile, Old Bai was too lazy to haggle with him.

He simply waved his sleeve and said, "All cut in half."

Qiu Tu’s smile became even brighter, "No problem, thank you, Muxin Divine King."

Old Bai: ....

At that moment, Old Bai calmed down. He glanced at Qiu Tu, suddenly realizing: he hadn’t successfully used the "Window Effect" on Qiu Tu, but it seemed like Qiu Tu managed it on him.

’This guy.....’

At this point, with the agreement possibly reached, Qiu Tu wasted no more time. He said to Old Bai, "Old Bai, since our cooperation is established, I’ll go prepare."

"Remember to have the resources ready for me."

After speaking, Qiu Tu stood up and headed outside.

Seeing this, the maid Jasmine glanced at Old Bai, then quickened her pace to follow, "This way, Qiu Tu Sir."

Qiu Tu nodded slightly in acknowledgment and followed Jasmine out.

As the sound of their footsteps faded away, Old Bai returned to his senses. He shook his head slightly, amused.

Over the long years, his emotions seldom fluctuated much, so even though Qiu Tu had outmaneuvered him, he didn’t really mind. Instead, he rose with a smile, ready to leave.

But just as he got up and lowered his head, he suddenly froze.

Because.... the pawns on the chessboard in front of him had somehow changed.

The black pawn trapped in the center had somehow escaped.

His white pawns still seemed to form an encirclement, yet Qiu Tu’s black pawn had found a way out, showing signs of a counter-encirclement.

In that instant, Old Bai’s brows furrowed sharply, his azure eyes full of seriousness....

.....

Meanwhile, Qiu Tu was walking outside with Jasmine.

Jasmine clearly found Qiu Tu very intriguing. She said with a chuckle, "Sir Qiu Tu is amazing, I haven’t seen Muxin Sir get flustered in a long time~~"

Hearing Jasmine, Qiu Tu looked at her with a smile and said, "Oh?" then added, "Really?"

"It seems that the Divine Kings of the ’Ancient World’ are just ordinary folks."

Listening to Qiu Tu’s boastful words, Jasmine laughed with a "giggling" sound.

Her clear, pure eyes gave Qiu Tu a glance, dimples forming, "Compared to you, Sir, indeed they seem ordinary."

Saying this, she couldn’t help but move closer to Qiu Tu, her doe eyes looking up at him as she asked, "Sir Qiu Tu, we seem very compatible, can I call you brother?"

Qiu Tu was taken aback for a moment, then a bright smile spread on his face, "Of course you can."

With Qiu Tu’s approval, Jasmine seemed delighted, a little thrilled, gazing at him with her crescent eyes like a rainbow smile, "Then, brother, can I go talk to Muxin Sir and apply to join you in the mission?"
