Chapter 2002 - 789: Flirting Right Under Zhao Ji’s Nose

Maybe it's true that when your strength increases, you speak with more confidence.

Ever since Qiu Tu became a God, how would Larilo dare speak to Qiu Tu like that? That little troublemaker really didn't want any consequences. Yet now she was looking at Qiu Tu with a mischievous face.

But who is Qiu Tu? The inheritor of the "Emotional Handbook."

How could he possibly be confined by such a question?

So he directly ignored Larilo's question, and instead said with a smile, "It's been a few days, Your Highness, and you look even more beautiful."

"That mouth of yours, it's also....."

At the critical moment, he deliberately paused, then said, "Getting sweeter and sweeter."

Qiu Tu's words sounded like compliments on the surface, but combined with Larilo's antics, it almost seemed like he was being sarcastic.

Zhao Ji heard this and couldn't help but look toward her sister, wondering how Larilo would react.

She took one glance and was slightly stunned.

Because Larilo wasn't showing pride from being praised, nor anger from the sarcasm, but rather..... a bit shy?

A question mark popped up in Zhao Ji's mind. She couldn't quite understand what her sister was feeling shy about.

This also led her to miss the exchange where Qiu Tu winked at Larilo, his gaze lingering on her cherry lips for just a moment.

The smile in Larilo's eyes deepened, but because her sister was right there, she had to keep it all to herself.

From the "Emotional Handbook," [108 Ways to Enhance Emotional Connection] No. 5: Answering Without Responding.

When you and a woman are in an ambiguous relationship, never treat her as a "boss" or "teacher" where every question requires an answer.

This would put you at a disadvantage in the relationship and make you seem boring.

Most of the time, a woman's questions, especially playful ones, are not really about seeking "answers." But rather to elicit a "reaction."

So…. As long as your "reaction" can make her happy, that's enough. Not answering the question doesn't matter at all.

Just like Larilo earlier. The reason she asked Qiu Tu that question was ultimately just to tease him.

She also knew Qiu Tu couldn't possibly give her an accurate response.

So, naturally, Qiu Tu didn't give her an answer but instead flirted with her.

Zhao Ji didn't understand their little games, but Larilo did.

Because of Zhao Ji's "restrictions," nothing substantial had happened between Qiu Tu and Larilo until now.

The most daring thing between them was Larilo's play with words.

And Qiu Tu's only advantage was being good to women and having a good memory.

He recalled some reports he'd seen in a past life, remembering… supposedly eating pineapples could make his child sweeter.

So, he tested this rumor with Larilo.

And after that... Larilo's little mouth became sweet.

Therefore, when Qiu Tu mentioned Larilo's sweet mouth again, and even in front of Zhao Ji, Larilo naturally felt shy.

After all, discussing such suggestive topics using code words in front of her sister was somewhat thrilling.

Meanwhile, Zhao Ji, after looking at Larilo for a moment and seeing nothing wrong, decided not to bother anymore.

She turned her attention to Qiu Tu, her gaze deep and cool as it settled on him.

At that moment, Qiu Tu had already returned to his proper gentleman persona. After teasing Larilo, he began to discuss serious matters.

He first had the sisters sit down, then asked, "Has the person been brought in?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's question, Zhao Ji nodded and then reached out to take out a jade pendant.

Without any visible movement on her part, the jade pendant seemed to be pulled by an invisible thread, flying straight toward Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu raised his hand to catch the jade pendant, then shined it toward the ground.

In the next second, a seemingly ordinary, featureless middle-aged man lay on the ground.

Perhaps due to the immense power gap, he didn't have many injuries, lying there quietly, not unconscious, but rather as if asleep.

While Qiu Tu was observing the man, Larilo also spoke up from the side.

She said to Qiu Tu in a sweet voice, "This man's name is Situ. He's an agent sent by the 'Immortal Heavenly Tomb' to the 'Chaotic Western Capital,' mainly responsible for procurement work."

"Though called an envoy, he's actually a spy who collects information about the 'Chaotic Western Capital' openly."

"In secret, he carries out espionage, recruits talents, plants agents, or develops informants within the 'Chaotic Western Capital.'"

"Additionally, he's not weak; he's already a second-level Divine King, one of the 'Immortal Heavenly Tomb's' leaders in 'Chaotic Western Capital.'"

"Therefore, when selecting a target, we chose him."

Hearing Larilo's explanation, Qiu Tu nodded slightly.

Then he asked another question, "Did you get the list from the Muxin Divine King?"

Larilo had obviously been fully involved in this operation and knew everything well, so she confidently nodded and said, "Yes."

"After you made the arrangements, my sister and I conveyed the message to the Muxin Divine King."

"He handed the list to us very readily."

While Qiu Tu and Larilo were conversing, Zhao Ji remained silently listening, her expression unchanged.

But now hearing Larilo's words, she hesitated for a moment, then added, "It's as if he already knew we would come for that list and had prepared it in advance."
