Let them offer their loyalty!

Upon seeing the man and the woman, the Jackal's gaze slightly tensed.

Whether it was Qiu Tu, whom he had just confronted a few days ago, or Zhao Ji, whom he had seen several times in the reports, they both looked very familiar to him.

But seeing this pair of perfect figures standing together in person was still a bit breathtaking.

Actually..... During the process of advancing on the Path of Catastrophe, Catastrophe beings can slightly adjust their bodies and appearances. This results in higher-order Catastrophe beings being rather attractive and handsome.

However! It's important to know... every Catastrophe being's foundation and aesthetics differ.

Take the Jackal, for example; he has a pretty average foundation, and no matter how much he adjusts, he doesn't look good.

Whereas the Nine-headed Lion likes to be majestic and awe-inspiring, so he adjusted himself to look like a golden Zhang Fei.

In contrast, Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji are clearly deities with good foundations and aesthetics.

Just standing there makes people feel pleased.

'The children these two have will definitely be good-looking.'

Perhaps thinking of his three puppies at home, the Jackal inexplicably had this thought.

And having thought this, the Jackal pulled back his wandering thoughts.

He didn't forget that these two people were his own, and what he needed to do was cover for the Nine-headed Lion's escape.

So he ignored Zhao Ji, who stood there as cold as a mountain, and turned his narrow, cruel eyes towards Qiu Tu, and mockingly said,

"Qiu Tu, I originally thought you were some sort of hero, but it turns out you're just a freeloader."

Hearing the Jackal's words, Qiu Tu was stunned for a moment and then asked in surprise, "Since when did you have the misconception that I was a hero?"

"I like freeloading after all."

"Being a freeloader is wonderful. A rich lady leads me in, cultivation relies on a rich lady, abilities rely on a rich lady, even Cataclysmic treasures rely on a rich lady."

Saying this, Qiu Tu shamelessly said, "The reason I've developed so fast is because of my face."

"You want to lean on a rich lady, but you can't."

"As long as I have no morals, you can't use morality to bind me."

Qiu Tu's shameless words left the Jackal speechless:.....

He was silent for a moment, and then angrily glared at Qiu Tu, cursing, "A person should rely on themselves! How long do you think you can rely on those powerful goddesses?"

Qiu Tu seriously thought about it and then glanced affectionately at Zhao Ji beside him, "That depends on how long I live."

"I think, with Her Highness Zhao Ji's longevity, it's no problem for her to support me for life."

Zhao Ji was expressionless:.....

The Jackal's expression twisted:.....

To be honest, even though he was being sarcastic to Qiu Tu to stall for time, he still felt that this kind of mental damage should count as an occupational injury.

Had he known he'd get responses like this, he might as well have directly fought with Qiu Tu.

And at this moment, while the Jackal was pondering how to continue stalling time without suffering too much damage,

Qiu Tu, meanwhile, was outwardly pledging "loyalty" while secretly using spiritual power to transmit a message to Zhao Ji, "Your Highness, I'm getting a bad feeling. The guy opposite us seems to be stalling for time."

"The Nine-headed Lion hasn't appeared. Has he escaped?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji calmly transmitted, "It's fine. He hasn't run away."

Qiu Tu blinked.

Zhao Ji coldly said, "He seems to have realized that my consciousness has locked down this area, knows he can't escape, so he's gathering strength for a sneak attack."

Upon hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu was startled and couldn't help but ask, "Should we do something?"

"Should we make a move before he's ready?"

Zhao Ji casually said, "No need. I'm also curious about the current progress of 'Boundless Heart Sea - Core Region' research on Cataclysmic Power."

"So, you keep stalling that guy."

Qiu Tu:.....

Truth be told. In both of my lifetimes, all my experiences tell me: anyone who seems confident will eventually meet a downfall.

After all, how many villains in TV dramas die from stalling time, talking too much, and underestimating others?

Even a lion uses all its strength to catch a rabbit.

But.... the person in front of me is Zhao Ji.

Looking at this big block of cold ice beside him, Qiu Tu thought about it and decided not to provoke her.

Otherwise, Qiu Tu feared that before the Nine-headed Lion could kill him, Zhao Ji would have smacked him to death.

The only thing that gave Qiu Tu some reassurance was that Zhao Ji's overconfidence did not trigger "Crisis Intuition."

So, Qiu Tu decided to trust Zhao Ji for now and play along with the Jackal.

Meanwhile, just as Qiu Tu made up his mind, he heard the Nine-headed Lion's transmission in the Jackal's ear.

The Nine-headed Lion's voice was like a volcano about to erupt, somewhat repressed. He said in a hoarse voice, "Jackal, I can't escape."

"Zhao Ji has long locked down the entire area. As soon as I escape from this area, she'll immediately lock onto my position."

"Things have come to this point, I can only risk it."

"I'm now using my Cataclysmic ability to hide my position, making it hard for her to find me."

"Afterward, I'll use the divine skill 'Swallowing the Sky and Devouring the Sun' for a sneak attack to swallow Zhao Ji."

"As long as he"

-----------

1500-2500-1 hour ago, when Qiu Tu kissed Larilo, he noticed that the Evil Gods... seemed a bit different from ordinary humans.

Their lips and bodies seemed softer? More supple? Warmer?

So, even such a simple trick felt like an ultimate pleasure to Qiu Tu.

'Is this the taste of an Evil God?'

'It's quite delightful!'
