Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 1452 - 624: The Death of Shen Yuzhou

"Your strength is formidable. You are the only Sixth Rank Catastrophe in the entire Northwest Region, second only to me."

"Your constitution is special, bearing two Cataclysmic pathways."

"But more importantly..."

At this, Qiu Tu paused, then looked deeply at Princess Xi and said, "You don't like me."

Princess Xi was momentarily stunned.

Qiu Tu said, "I do have a lot of women around me. But they're all here of their own will."

Maybe it was pride kicking in. Before Qiu Tu could finish, Princess Xi interrupted coldly, "How do you know I'm not here willingly?"

Qiu Tu laughed and asked back, "Then do you like me?"

Faced with this question, Princess Xi was at a loss for words.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu waved his hand nonchalantly and tossed out, "Take your time thinking about it. Give me your answer next time we meet."

"If, next time we meet, you still insist— then I will accept your loyalty."

As Qiu Tu spoke, his whole figure darkened and shrank with each step, until he completely melted into the shadow...

Watching Qiu Tu's suave departure, Princess Xi's expression shifted restlessly.

To be honest... Princess Xi genuinely didn't have any special feelings for Qiu Tu at the moment.

Still, she did know about that 'peculiar tradition' from Qiu Tu's hometown. She also knew that every woman beside Qiu Tu had followed that tradition.

So, after fully turning to Qiu Tu's side, she was already prepared to dedicate herself.

And yet... Qiu Tu actually doesn't want it?!

This really made Princess Xi feel rejected. Plus, as a strong-willed woman, she had a powerful desire for victory and conquest. The more Qiu Tu refused, the more she wanted to force it!

Thinking of this, Princess Xi's face sank, muttering in her heart,

'Next time is fine, huh?'

'Alright... then next time it is!'

With that, she sat heavily back into her chair, face icy as water. Maybe she moved a bit forcefully, or maybe she thought of something else...

She felt that her breast, wrapped in military garb, seemed to have dampened a little...

....

At the same time. On the mountain outside the military camp, Qiu Tu appeared silently.

Standing at the cliff's edge, Qiu Tu looked down at the camp below, his face tangled with complicated emotions.

Princess Xi was definitely one of the most beautiful women Qiu Tu had seen, and with that foreign flair and her princess status, he was certainly interested.

But! Princess Xi was no ordinary woman. This woman... was pure poison!

And her Cataclysmic abilities all revolved around revenge. Qiu Tu was both tempted and wary.

Sixty-six points of loyalty wasn't low, but it's not foolproof. Qiu Tu was honestly worried about being tricked by Princess Xi.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help glancing again at the main tent in the camp.

'We'll wait till next time. If when we meet again, her loyalty is still this high, then I'll devour her!'

With this decision, Qiu Tu withdrew his gaze, ready to handle another crucial task tonight— one that was a gift for Princess Xi, Kou Xuan, Yan Chen, and even... for himself.

And, his rejection of Princess Xi tonight actually had a lot to do with all this...

Thinking of that, Qiu Tu flipped the world and slipped into the darkness of night...

... 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

5 AM. Near the Sixth Sanctuary in the Southwest Region.

Two great armies, their camps facing each other from afar— maintaining both restraint and threat.

And in the southern camp, Shen Yuzhou, with one hand severed, was sound asleep...

Maybe it was some kind of Heavenly Material or Earthly Treasure, or maybe something odd researched by the Third Sanctuary. The left hand sliced off by Princess Xi was now sprouting clusters of flesh buds.

Those flesh buds kept growing, weaving together, slowly repairing Shen Yuzhou's injured body.

Judging by the fact that it could heal a Sixth Rank Catastrophe Creature, the effect had to be incredibly strong...

And at this moment, as Shen Yuzhou slept, the entire camp lay quiet except for the Night Watchmen patrolling endlessly.

Suddenly, "Buzz!"— a bee-like alarm rang out inside and outside Shen Yuzhou's room!

It was the warning of an intruder, triggered by the Defense Array.

At the piercing alarm, Shen Yuzhou was startled awake! He jerked upright, his body tensing, eyes wide as he stared into the stingy darkness, wanting to see who dared break into his tent!

Even wounded, he was still an old-hand Sixth Rank Catastrophe Changer. Apart from Seventh Rank experts, few could take him down quickly.

And if they couldn't do it fast, the assassin would face a hunt by hundreds of thousands of soldiers!

Thinking through this, Shen Yuzhou hurriedly calculated his odds.

In the whole Edge Region, there were only two Seventh Rank experts: Qiu Tu, and Li Feng, who had drawn together the entire Steel Maiden Army.

Yet, even though the Fourth Sanctuary was currently standoff with the Third Sanctuary, Li Feng was being very restrained, repeatedly stating it was all a misunderstanding. So, most likely, she wouldn't make a move.

As for Qiu Tu... He had already headed to the Core Area. He couldn't possibly run all the way back here from the core, could he?

Thinking this over, even Shen Yuzhou found himself laughing at the idea.
