However, Qiu Tu and Fang Tangtang’s marriage was a political union to begin with; there wasn’t much of an emotional foundation.
The only bottom line for Qiu Tu in this relationship was that Fang Tangtang not betray him; as for the rest, he didn’t care.
So Qiu Tu simply left her with a sentence, "You’re not good at lying," then he lifted his leg to go upstairs, preparing to start contacting Larilo.
However, he might have underestimated his position in Fang Tangtang’s heart. Find adventures at novelbuddy
Upon hearing Qiu Tu’s assessment, Fang Tangtang’s face went pale in an instant.
Her eyes reddening slightly, she lifted her head to look at the back of Qiu Tu as he ascended the stairs, her mouth opening as if she wanted to explain something, but maybe the disparity between their statuses was too vast, and his towering authority placed much pressure on her.
So she opened her mouth several times, but in the end, no sound came out.
In the end, she could only clench her apron tightly and then slowly lower her head, daring not to say anything…
Like that, she stood silently for two minutes.
Suddenly, the smell of something burning wafted from the pot.
Startled by the scent, Fang Tangtang let out a soft cry, then turned to look at the frying pan.
By now, the food in the frying pan had burnt at the bottom.
With panic, Fang Tangtang moved the frying pan away from the stove and then opened the lid with a distressed face.
The meal that used to be full of color, aroma, and flavor was now nothing but a pot of burnt smell.
Fang Tangtang took out a pair of chopsticks and carefully picked the still intact food into a Xiaowan, then tasted it herself to check if it was properly cooked, and after confirming there were no issues, she frowned and sneakily ate it all up.
After devouring the small bowl of half-charred dish, Fang Tangtang dumped the rest of the burnt mess, then she walked over to the wall of the kitchen and stared at a few pieces of paper on it.
Written on the papers were names of dishes, cooking methods, and tastes. They were all of Qiu Tu’s favorites from the outside restaurants and taverns, ones he frequently ordered or praised.
Although The Five Elders had already left the core of Xinjie City’s power, they had deep roots from many years in the city, with tendrils reaching into every corner of Xinjie City.
Finding out the preferences of someone like Qiu Tu, who was born and bred in Xinjie City, was nothing but a minor task for them.
Therefore, this afternoon, all of Qiu Tu’s likes, habits, and favored dishes were delivered to Fang Tangtang, who was asked to memorize and recite them.
The Five Elders even hired a specialized kitchen maid to force Fang Tangtang to learn.
It could be said that from the moment last night when Qiu Tu selected Fang Tangtang, her life was to revolve entirely around him. Her every liking, every habit must be aligned with that of Qiu Tu…
Luckily, Fang Tangtang seemed not to be repulsed by this.
Or perhaps... she didn’t even realize how malformed her role was in this relationship with Qiu Tu.
She still naively thought Qiu Tu was her husband, and that everything she did was to make her husband happy and to improve their little home…
After checking the recipes on the wall, Fang Tangtang had an idea in mind. She stood up and went over to a box of fresh vegetables to choose from, then started chopping, washing the pan, heating the oil, and began seriously making food again...
With her plump, oval-shaped face, big eyes, and pert nose—accompanied by the apron and her serious expression—she was the very image of an adorable little kitchen maid...
He went up to the second floor of the villa.
Qiu Tu entered his study. Then he closed the door, scanned every corner of the room to make sure there were no obvious listening or surveillance devices or Cataclysmic treasures.
He took out a small square box.
This was a shielding device commonly used by the Political Department, capable of blocking and disrupting various monitoring and listening electronic signals, something he had taken from the department today.
Although he believed that due to his current honeymoon phase with The Five Elders, they would unlikely do something that could harm their cooperation.
But in times of turmoil, one can harbor malicious intentions, yet one must never lack a defensive caution.
So, Qiu Tu was better safe than sorry.
Thinking this, after taking all the necessary precautions, Qiu Tu took out that ancient coin from his pocket and, according to the method of contacting Larilo, rubbed his thumb three times on the front of the coin and four times on the back, then threw it onto the desk.
This time, perhaps there was some issue, for as soon as the coin hit the table, it began spinning non-stop.
Metallic mist drifted upwards, but the coin continued to maintain a state of rapid spinning.
Qiu Tu looked at the coin, his brow slightly furrowed.
He then returned his gaze to the window, looking at the sprawling green-blue giant tree that spanned the skies above Xinjie City, resembling a mountain range, composed of green light points.
Following the afternoon’s incident, the tree seemed to have grown larger. Its branches and leaves flourished, and more sprouts and branches began to emerge from the top.
Although it was not certain what this signified, based on this phenomenon, Qiu Tu speculated that it was very likely Yan Chen had absorbed and digested a portion of Larilo’s soul, thereby advancing his strength a step closer to the Fourth Order.
Now, coupled with Larilo’s long failure to connect "communications", Qiu Tu couldn’t help but develop an ominous premonition: Could it be... Larilo was in trouble?
Today, through Secretary Bai and Zheng Tao, he delivered messages that provoked Yan Chen, and then Yan Chen directly devoured Larilo?
"Swish swish swish... swish swish... swish..."
The coin continued spinning on the table against the laws of physics for five or six minutes, eventually slowing down and finally coming to a complete stop on the desk.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu had a bit of an ominous feeling, yet he wasn’t ready to give up hope.
The first time he contacted Larilo, it took several tries as well.
