Chapter 1750 - 713: I’d Rather Be Stabbed With a Knife
"Speaking of which," he patted Qing Lan and said, "I’ll credit you for your achievement. In a couple of days, I’ll have an extra reward prepared for you."
The thing Qing Lan liked most about Qiu Tu was his generosity; if he promised something, he always delivered. So, when Qiu Tu gave her a fair credit, a smile spread across her face, and she walked away cheerfully.
But as he watched her leave, Qiu Tu’s gaze turned contemplative.
Actually... Compared to Qing Lan, what surprised Qiu Tu more tonight was Candle Dance.
The anomaly of the "Descent of the Divine King" was discovered by Candle Dance this time.
According to the "Astronomical Bureau’s" record, this anomaly was actually quite inconspicuous.
This suggests that the anomaly was likely concealed using special treasures.
Yet Candle Dance could still spot it in a glance and gave a warning.
This significantly heightened Qiu Tu’s regard for Candle Dance.
’It seems... my quietly unassuming goddaughter is not ordinary at all...’
’Perhaps, sometimes I ought to probe a bit?’ With this thought, Qiu Tu stood quietly in the night for a while before preparing to return to his room to change clothes and meet Zhao Ji.
With a quick movement, he returned to the bedroom, ready to say something to Doris.
However, he saw that Doris had, at some unknown point, donned one of his white shirts and was leaning against the bed, her long, naked legs crossed as she smiled charmingly at him.
Her shirt was half undone, revealing faint traces of Qiu Tu’s kisses and strawberries planted on her collarbone, and the transparent fabric subtly showcased the undulating cleavage and soft whiteness beneath. It looked extremely alluring.
More importantly, although she was wearing a white shirt, it was the only thing she was wearing, so Qiu Tu could faintly see a hint of hidden allure.
Honestly, Qiu Tu felt Doris’s outfit was too deliberate, too stiff. Unfortunately, some people can enchant just by standing there, so he looked down and discovered something even more rigid...
However, Qiu Tu currently had important matters to attend to.
So faced with this piece of meat delivered right to his mouth, as tempting as it was, Qiu Tu still cursed under his breath, "This demonic home-wrecking creature..." He then suppressed the fluttering in his heart, left a remark "I’ll go find Zhao Ji," dressed up, and teleported away from the villa.
Seeing Qiu Tu vanish just like that, Doris called out anxiously, "Hey? Hey?" as she realized she couldn’t keep him and finally pounded the air twice in frustration.
....
As the Heavenly God of Order-Politics, Qiu Tu could perform instantaneous movement anywhere politics existed.
Thus, he first transported to a city near the Mandala Desert in the Western Kingdom and then flew towards Zhao Ji’s location.
Perhaps to ease Qiu Tu’s worries, Zhao Ji had been stationed there ever since she destroyed the World Channel.
Due to Qiu Tu having previously been marked with the Heavenly God’s seal by Zhao Ji, he could clearly sense Zhao Ji’s location.
Thus, following the sensing flight all the way, the closer he got to Zhao Ji, the more Qiu Tu felt something off.
This was because the Mandala Desert, hit by the Cataclysm, was theoretically supposed to be an endless desert completely buried by yellow sands.
Yet... Qiu Tu sensed very distinct life presence within this desert?
What’s going on?
While pondering this, Qiu Tu continued to fly forward.
Then, just over 10 kilometers away from Zhao Ji, Qiu Tu looked up, surprised to find that at Zhao Ji’s location, which was also the center of the Mandala Desert, there stood a giant tree at least 50 stories tall.
The giant tree, about the size of a school playground, was lush and straightly stretched towards the sky. The yellow sand all around seemed to be held captive by it, unable to stir up even the slightest storm.
After flying for over ten minutes, having grown accustomed to seeing sand everywhere, when suddenly faced with such a magnificent life creation, a touch of admiration emerged in Qiu Tu’s gaze.
However, at the same time, his mind was filled with curiosity.
Isn’t Zhao Ji a Heavenly God on the path of "Destruction"? How is she now involved with the path of "Life"?
What is she doing there?

Back again. Should resume to 6-7k words tomorrow. Asking for monthly tickets.
