Chapter 1118 - 522: Zhao Ji: Am I One of Qiu Tu's Own People? (10,000 characters for Monthly Ticket!)_2

Thinking about this, Qiu Tu actually already had some inclinations in his heart.

But he worried that he was taking everything for granted, so he reasoned backward a bit: What would happen if "Mountain Root" is not given to Zhao Ji?

It's simple. In order to advance to the Sixth Tier, Zhao Ji would head to the "Boundless Heart Sea Core Area."

Even if Zhao Ji kills Yaksha for Qiu Tu before departing, there is still another Sixth Tier Evil God in the Fog Hidden Association that Qiu Tu cannot deal with.

With both positive and negative reasoning done, Qiu Tu had no more hesitation in his heart.

——Give "Mountain Root" to Zhao Ji, change his impression in her heart, nurture her, and then... live off of her!

After making this decision, he originally thought everything would go smoothly.

But who knew, during the process of finding Zhao Ji today, a new Crisis Warning suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

"Crisis Intuition triggered! Crisis report generated!"

"Peak Fifth Rank Great Evil God Zhao Ji, has discovered your Cataclysm Path."

"She has perceived your potential, believing your future to be boundless, and could possibly pose a threat to her 'path to the top.'"

"Moreover, the impression you've been leaving on her is one of manipulation, cunning, and you've been continuously scheming against her and her sister Larilo."

"She worries that after she heads to the Boundless Heart Sea Core Area, you'll take advantage of Larilo, which might affect her."

"Therefore, she plans to deceive you tonight—on the surface, agreeing to attack and kill Yaksha together with you, but in reality, leaving you to face Yaksha alone."

"Tonight, she's ready to find you. If you go, the odds are against you; if you don't go, she might take action on the spot to get rid of you."

"So, find a way to regain the favor of this Evil God Heavenly Pride and successfully get through this crisis."

"You don't want to know the consequences you'll face if you fail."

At that time, while Qiu Tu was searching everywhere for Zhao Ji, his expression darkened as if it was about to rain upon seeing the Crisis Warning that appeared in front of him.

Though during this period, his relationship with Zhao Ji was terrible, and Zhao Ji had even warned him several times, saying she might kill him.

But Qiu Tu, having possibly found Zhao Ji's "weakness," never believed such words.

As a result, who would've thought, the situation accumulated, eventually turning into such an outcome.

Thus, Qiu Tu calmed down then and started to ponder how to break out of the predicament.

First, what he confirmed was: "Mountain Root" definitely needed to be given away.

Only this way could he reverse Zhao Ji's bad impression of him.

This is the premise for all subsequent plans.

Having studied the "Emotional Fraud Manual," Qiu Tu was well aware of the importance of "impressions" to women.

Sometimes, the same thing can have completely different outcomes because of the different impressions a woman has of you.

Secondly, is...he must keep poking at Zhao Ji's weaknesses.

After influencing or changing Zhao Ji's impression, Qiu Tu then had to find a way to enhance "favorability."

The higher the favorability, the safer Qiu Tu was, and the more likely his previous plans would succeed.

Finally... it was about persistence and abandonment.

During the time spent with Zhao Ji, Qiu Tu had already discovered a characteristic of this woman.

Which is... she is somewhat suspicious.

If he abruptly changed course, she would most likely suspect it, constantly probing, and might only change her thoughts at the last moment of plan execution.

Therefore, Qiu Tu must stay calm. No matter what happens, he cannot show the slightest flaw.

Until the very last moment!

This is "persistence."

Of course, even though he knew that only "persistence" could fully reverse the situation, Qiu Tu would not surrender his life completely into Zhao Ji's hands.

Thus, after reading the "Crisis Intuition" prompt, he also took out insurance.

——He summoned the "Team Captain," and then had the "Team Captain" imprint him with a "seal of ownership."

And handed over all the "Boundless Divine Crystals" he obtained from Nightfall last night.

In this way, once he encounters life-threatening danger, Qiu Tu will send a distress signal to the "Team Captain" through the sense with the Dark Soldier.

Upon receiving the distress signal, the "Team Captain" could immediately summon Qiu Tu over through the "seal of ownership."

Even if Qiu Tu's abilities far exceed those of the "Team Captain," with the support of so many "Boundless Divine Crystals," summoning Qiu Tu over would be no problem.

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu felt a little more at ease.

He realized... negotiating with a tiger and dancing on a tightrope is really too dangerous.

A slight mistake could lead to irreparable disaster.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but start implementing the second step of his plan.

He looked at Zhao Ji and then smiled, saying, "Sister Zhao Ji, you don't need to be so suspicious."

"I really don't have any other motives."

"If you must say I have one, it's... that I covet your body."

"Hmm?" Zhao Ji raised her eyebrows, glaring coldly at Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu quickly waved his hands with a smile, "Don't misunderstand. This 'body' is not that 'body.'"

"I admire, I covet your strength."

"If I had your kind of strength, I wouldn't have to run around exhausted every day like this."

"By that time, I would build a huge castle, make a big bed, then snatch a girl, snatch a girl, snatch a girl, and snatch another girl to be with me every day!"

Zhao Ji: .....

If the previous Qiu Tu was too serious and friendly, provoking vigilance from Zhao Ji.
