Chapter 1864: Chapter 747: One Woman Loves to Eat, One Is Lazy (Part 2)
’Shouldn’t I also try harder.....?’
Thinking this, Qing Lan involuntarily tightened her grip.....
At this moment, however, Qiu Tu did not notice Qing Lan’s unusual behavior.
He glanced around the scene, then asked a bit puzzled, "Where’s Zhao Ji?"
Qiu Tu’s ascension to Divine King is arguably the most important event for the Qiu Tu group at this stage. Of the five women in the family, little Yuan Yao is an outsider, so she didn’t come to greet Qiu Tu, which is still quite normal. But Zhao Ji.... is the most important member of the Qiu Tu group.
Moreover, after spending time together and going through numerous events, the relationship between Zhao Ji and Qiu Tu has also gotten better and better.
In terms of emotions and reason, Zhao Ji should have come to greet Qiu Tu.
Unless....
Thinking this, Qiu Tu was a bit surprised and guessed, "Could it be that Sister Zhaoji is still in closed-door cultivation?"
After he spoke, he himself was somewhat skeptical, "With Sister Zhaoji’s talent, it shouldn’t have taken this long, right?"
Upon hearing Qiu Tu’s words, Yao Qin spoke.
She nodded slightly and then said, "Zhao Ji indeed hasn’t taken this long."
She recalled briefly and continued, "She successfully ascended three days ago."
"After that, she rested for half a day and said she was going out, but she hasn’t returned yet."
Hearing Yao Qin’s words, Qing Lan came to herself and promptly added crisply, "But, you don’t need to worry."
"Before she left, Sister Zhaoji gave me a Jade Token."
"She said that if anything happens to her, the Jade Token would also shatter."
"The Jade Token is perfectly intact now."
Candle Dance on Qing Lan’s shoulder lazily raised her head and affirmed, "Yes. If you don’t believe me, look."
At this point, she opened her snake mouth wide, spitting out a pure white Jade Token carved with exquisite patterns.
Suddenly, with two "crack" sounds, the Jade Token in her mouth shattered abruptly.
The next second, the Jade Token broke into pieces and fell to the ground....
Witnessing this scene, the entire scene became silent as everyone was somewhat stunned.
Time passed by the second.
After a moment, Qing Lan exclaimed "Eh?" and then said, "Wait a minute."
She rummaged through her pocket and took out a Jade Token that looked very plain, with no decorations.
Then she turned her head in disbelief toward Candle Dance on her shoulder and said, "Where did you get a Jade Token? Sister Zhaoji’s Jade Token is clearly here with me."
"Hehe." Candle Dance’s prank was uncovered; she chuckled mischievously twice, then bounced and disappeared to the second floor, evidently fleeing.
Qiu Tu:....
Yao Qin:.....
Watching Candle Dance’s escaping figure, Qiu Tu rubbed his temples slightly, feeling a bit headachy.
Candle Dance’s character is always a bit rebellious; playing a prank is quite normal.
Also, it must be said that Candle Dance’s prank this time served as a reminder to Qiu Tu — although strength is important, it’s not the most important.
To thrive in this world, intelligence is paramount.
Just like Candle Dance, who although just regained Heavenly God strength, managed to fool Qiu Tu when he was slightly complacent after his ascension.
With Candle Dance being one of his own, everything was just a joke.
If it were enemies.... Qiu Tu might have already fallen into a disadvantage, or even died because of it.
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu also pressed down the slight arrogance from becoming a Divine King.
——Currently, he is far from having the strength to crush everything.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu came to himself, smiled to cover up for Candle Dance, and said, "Candle Dance still has the same temperament. It hasn’t changed at all."
After saying this, he paused for a moment and continued, "However, now is not the time for jokes."
"Now that I have ascended to Divine King, I should fulfill my promise to White Robe."
"White Robe has already shown sincerity, and we should show our sincerity too."
Speaking of this, Qiu Tu looked at the two and said, "You guys would need to make some simple preparations."
"We might be leaving here soon."
Upon hearing Qiu Tu’s words, both Yao Qin and Qing Lan nodded seriously.....
Zhao Ji said she was going out, but Qiu Tu roughly guessed that she was going to hunt down the Heavenly Gods of the "Destruction Path."
After all, besides giving Qing Lan a Jade Token that could perceive her safety, Zhao Ji also left a "Heavenly God Aura" on Qiu Tu’s hand to sense her location.
Qiu Tu sensed it and found that Zhao Ji was rapidly moving around, seemingly chasing someone. So he did not care and planned to meet White Robe first.
Leaving home, Qiu Tu followed the process from the last time he met White Robe and came to that alley again.
This time, without even needing Qiu Tu to summon, as he leaned against the wall, mist slowly veiled it over.
Once everything around was devoured, Qiu Tu again appeared at the entrance to the tall palace.
The maid Jasmine was still smiling sweetly and waiting there.
Today she’s wearing a simple maiden outfit, with subtly pink lips, her smile innocent and pure.
Upon seeing Qiu Tu, she bowed slightly and said sweetly, "Congratulations, Brother, on ascending to Divine King."
Qiu Tu, hearing this, smiled and nodded, then took the initiative to say, "Having ascended to Divine King, I am also preparing to complete the transaction with Muxin Divine King."
"I came this time to bid farewell."
Upon saying this, Qiu Tu paused again and continued, "Of course.... I will also propose to Muxin Divine King to let you accompany me on the mission."
Upon hearing Qiu Tu’s words, Jasmine’s eyes lit up slightly, and she said, excitedly, "Really? Brother, are you really willing to take me?"
