Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 534 - 330: The Fierce Battle with Tang Feifei (10,000 words for Monthly Ticket!)

Tang Feifei clearly didn’t understand why Qiu Tu wouldn’t accept her proposal.

After all... in her opinion, it wasn’t a very difficult choice.

The "Boundless Heart Sea Expansion Plan" required scientific researchers and multiple Third Order Cataclysmics to explore, so only the major powers were able to participate.

Among the major powers, other than her own Fengtian Faction, the only ones related to Qiu Tu were the Reformist Faction and the Iron-Blood Faction.

But neither of those could be closer to Qiu Tu than she was.

Moreover, they couldn’t offer conditions as generous as hers.

So, when Tang Feifei was discussing this matter with Qiu Tu, she was actually quite confident.

And now... Qiu Tu still hadn’t accepted.

Thinking this, the expression on her face changed, becoming expressionless.

Her gaze was profound and sharp as she looked at Qiu Tu, like a female leopard filled with danger.

She wasn’t the kind to pry into other people’s affairs, but when it came to her own matters, she liked to get to the bottom of it because she hated misunderstandings.

"Why?"

Tang Feifei stared at Qiu Tu, her wheat-colored face filled with coldness, "I need a reason."

Ever since Tang Feifei began wielding significant power with Qiu Tu’s help, her aura of authority had grown increasingly strong.

Moreover, with her formidable strength, her emotions could now affect the real world. Thus, a simple question from her seemed to lower the temperature in the restaurant by two degrees.

However, at this time, Qiu Tu was also at the Second-order Peak, only one major realm... behind Tang Feifei.

Moreover, there was no alert from the Crisis Countdown, so Qiu Tu wasn’t concerned.

He pinched the stem of his wine glass between his index finger and thumb, gently swirling the glass.

Centrifugal force made the amber liquid in the glass rotate along the sides like waves, swaying.

Qiu Tu’s gaze quietly followed the slowly spinning liquid...

After a moment, he spoke slowly yet firmly, "I also want to gain control over the Xinjie City region."

Having lived two lives, Qiu Tu actually didn’t like to tell the truth. No matter who he faced, he would always hold something back.

But... during this time, he had been closely connected with Tang Feifei, who had always taken care of him, helping him. Even his promotion to Head of the Political Department had been supported by Tang Feifei’s family in the background.

In addition, there were Tang Feifei’s two gifts today—developing a new position for Qiu Tu and giving him the nominal authority of a Deputy Director.

Qiu Tu really couldn’t lie to Tang Feifei...

But it seems that habitually deceiving others could really bring retribution.

Qiu Tu had spoken the rare truth, yet it only made Tang Feifei laugh.

She chuckled lightly, disbelief written all over her wheat-colored face, then said, "You want to control the Boundless Heart Sea Region?"

"Qiu Tu... to enter the Boundless Heart Sea, one must undergo ’Spiritual Promotion’, allowing the consciousness to coalesce into a physical form that can survive independently of the body."

"That means one must be a Third Order Cataclysmic."

"You aren’t even a Third Order Cataclysmic, you can’t even enter the Boundless Heart Sea, so how can you control the region of the Boundless Heart Sea..."

Hearing Tang Feifei’s rebuttal, Qiu Tu showed no reaction. It was as though he hadn’t heard at all, continuing to gently swirl his wine glass, without answer or explanation...

Seeing this, Tang Feifei’s expression first froze, then also slowly retreated.

She seemed to hesitate for a moment, then finally ventured, "Did you obtain the Skull Talisman?"

The effect of the Skull Talisman, a Cataclysmic treasure, was that by reciting the associated curse, one’s soul could temporarily travel to the "Boundless Heart Sea."

It was a valuable tool for Cataclysmics below the Third Order to explore the Boundless Heart Sea.

Qiu Tu indeed had obtained it, though it was a "spiked version" refined by Shen Lingshuang, which might have some unique effects, it certainly enabled him to enter the Boundless Heart Sea and gain control of the region. (Chapter 302)

Thus, when Qiu Tu heard Tang Feifei’s words, he still said nothing...

He just continued to spin the glass.

Seeing this, Tang Feifei also guessed that Qiu Tu really had found a way to the Boundless Heart Sea.

And... knowing Qiu Tu, she realized that if he had decided to do something, he must have at least some assurance.

This meant, during this time, Qiu Tu must have obtained some information about controlling the Boundless Heart Sea Region from certain channels.

Thinking this, Tang Feifei’s expressions also gradually became reserved.

Her face darkened slightly as she looked at Qiu Tu, just watching...

After a while, she lifted her own wine glass and drained it in one gulp.

"Bang!" She set the wine glass heavily on the marble tabletop!

Tang Feifei asked one last question, "Do you really want to be enemies?"

Qiu Tu gently placed his wine glass aside, then looked at Tang Feifei.

He said seriously, "Feifei, this isn’t about being enemies. It’s just competition."

"The interests of the Boundless Heart Sea Region are so vast, if there’s a chance to obtain them, no one would want to give up."

Having said that, Qiu Tu posed a question in return, "If the choice were before you, would you give it up?"

Hearing Qiu Tu’s words, Tang Feifei also fell silent.

She sat there, quietly pondering for a while.

After a moment, she didn’t speak but reached for the bottle to pour herself another glass of wine, then raised it towards Qiu Tu.

"If that’s the case, then let’s each rely on our own abilities."

Upon hearing Tang Feifei’s words, a smile finally appeared on Qiu Tu’s face, and he raised his glass to clink it against Tang Feifei’s.

"Ding~~" The crisp sound of the glass clinking echoed in the empty restaurant.

"Let’s rely on our own abilities."
