She carefully recalled the entire conversation she had with Qiu Tu tonight.
Overall, it seemed that Qiu Tu had one purpose: to establish a nominal relationship between himself and her.
Moreover, in this relationship, Qiu Tu was superior, and she was inferior.
But such a "nominal relationship" didn’t have much effect.
Even if Qiu Tu’s Cataclysmic ability related to "relationships," capable of affecting along "relationships," but still.... the world operated on basic "rules."
All powers and their costs must be equivalent.
Verbal agreements between Cataclysmic Creatures and hierarchical relationships did produce corresponding effects, but... a simple verbal promise couldn’t possibly yield enormous benefits.
Thinking this, Larilo suddenly felt she had been overthinking.
And following this train of thought, she pondered even more.
If Qiu Tu indeed had some special ability that could make simple relationships produce great effects.
But then again... Larilo had nothing left to lose at this point.
As long as Qiu Tu didn’t kill her or hand her over to the Security Department, she could patiently wait for a turnaround.
After all... Qiu Tu couldn’t possibly take away her trump card—the Boundless Heart Sea territorial control rights, could he?
As long as no one else could take away her control in the Boundless Heart Sea, she still held hope of reigniting her ascent to become an Evil God!
Comforting herself with these thoughts for a while, Larilo finally relaxed completely.
She regained her pride as an Evil God, and then she began to probe and counterattack, "Alright, Qiu Tu. Now that I’ve become your female slave, are you... satisfied?"
"Do you want anything else?"
"How about my eyes? I can gouge them out and give them to you..."
As she spoke, Larilo’s right index and middle fingers moved towards her eyes.
But Larilo was shrewd, and Qiu Tu was even more shrewd.
He watched Larilo’s performance with a mocking smile and didn’t even wait for Larilo to actually gouge out her eyes before he mentally transformed the transparent light net around the altar into black.
Completely cutting off the communication between him and Larilo—his goal had been achieved, and he didn’t have time to accompany Larilo in her act.
He had a second date tonight, after all.
Thinking this, he casually stored the "Soul Shackles" altar into the "Gold-Addicted Wallet" and rose to leave the study.
First, he went to the next bedroom to take a peek at the adorable Fang Tangtang.
The girl was still deep in sleep, with gentle blue moonlight softly draping over her, casting a dreamy veil.
Her skin was fair as jade, her long lashes trembling lightly with her steady breath, like the wings of lovely butterflies, seemingly ready to take flight at any moment.
Qiu Tu tiptoed over, gently touched her cute, round, egg-shaped face, then bent down to tuck her in before slowly leaving the room.
In her sleep, Fang Tangtang seemed to feel Qiu Tu’s affection and mumbled something softly, her dreaming face even sweeter...
Leaving Fang Tangtang’s villa, Qiu Tu strode towards the one he shared with Shen Lingshuang.
As he was about to enter the home tonight, Shen Lingshuang called him. On the phone, Qiu Tu brought up the "Infinite Heart Sea Development Time," and to his surprise, Shen Lingshuang was quite familiar with the plan.

She even referred to it as the "Counter-Infiltration World."
And she mentioned that her father had once presided over this plan in the Third Sanctuary.
So... Qiu Tu also decided to find out just how much Shen Lingshuang knew about this plan.
With that in mind, bathed in the moonlight, Qiu Tu returned to the villa he shared with Shen Lingshuang.
He pushed open the door, and Shen Lingshuang, who hadn’t yet gone to bed, was talking to herself while holding Xiao Bai.
"Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai... I’m telling you, you simply can’t go for a domesticless little male dog."
"After you get one, you’ll end up like me, guarding an empty house every day, both lonely and alone."

"See how miserable I am? Even to have Qiu Tu come home, I have to exchange it for information."
Hearing Shen Lingshuang’s indirect complaints, Qiu Tu embarrassedly scratched his nose and then said with a smile, "I’m back. What nonsense are you chatting with Xiao Bai about?"
Shen Lingshuang had clearly heard Qiu Tu entering and showed no surprise at his interjection.
She kept stroking Xiao Bai’s glossy fur, rolled her eyes, and pouted as she said, "I just feel that seeing you has become too difficult, you’re never home, and I need to leverage my father just to see you."
As she said this, she appeared to suddenly realize something, gave Qiu Tu a dawning look, and said, "Oh~~ you wouldn’t happen to have another home on the side, would you?"
Honestly, in that moment, Qiu Tu was sweating profusely.
But who was he... he was Qiu—the master of emotional fraud, time management, the terminator of young girls, the lover of married women—Tu!
So, with a serious face, he said sternly to Shen Lingshuang, "How could you think that of me!"
"Lingshuang, the most important thing in a relationship is mutual trust!"
"Only when two people trust each other..."
Then... the third person is safe...
—He silently swallowed these thoughts. Qiu Tu continued, "Then... can the relationship last!"
Hearing Qiu Tu’s words of impeccable righteousness, surprise was etched all over Shen Lingshuang’s face.
She watched him quietly for a while, then finally softened a bit pitifully, hugged Xiao Bai, bowed her head, and said softly, "Sorry... I just miss you too much."
Whether really aggravated by Shen Lingshuang’s meekness or not, Xiao Bai barked "Woof woof" at Shen Lingshuang a couple of times and then directly jumped out of her arms.
