Let them offer their loyalty!

Recalling the method Jia Wei used to contact Larilo.

Qiu Tu fiddled with the coin, then rubbed the front side three times with his thumb, the back side four times, and finally placed the coin on the table, patiently waiting for a response.

One second...two seconds...three seconds...

He didn't know if there was a problem with the steps, or if this communication required an advance reservation. Qiu Tu had waited a full minute and still, Larilo did not appear.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu's brows furrowed slightly.

'Rub? Could it be that this Treasure isn't a standard one?'

'So it can't be activated in the same way?'

Qiu Tu was so certain he could contact Larilo because he speculated that given Larilo's influence in the real world, it was improbable for her to use a non-standard Cataclysm Prop for communication.

If it was a mass-produced standard communication prop, the chances were high that the method to use it would be the same.

With this in mind, Qiu Tu once again reviewed his logic.

In the end, he chose to trust his speculation—the method of using the prop was correct!

And if there was nothing wrong with the way the prop was used, then there were numerous possibilities why Larilo had not connected the call.

Perhaps...now was inconvenient?

Perhaps...the timing was incorrect?

Or perhaps...this Ancient Coin could identify a person's aura, and Larilo did not answer because she detected the wrong one attempting to contact her.

But...regardless of the reason. As long as he continued trying, he would eventually make contact.

With that thought, Qiu Tu started to contact Larilo over and over again...

In this manner, Qiu Tu repeated the "dialing" process a total of seven or eight times.

Just when he felt that his hand was about to rub the coin shiny, at last!

The ancient coin slowly vapourized into the air, and Larilo's head appeared within it!

She was clearly furious, her entire face twisted with anger!

Her eyes were ablaze, and her voice carried a bone-chilling coldness, "Didn't I tell you not to contact me during the day!"

"Contacting me over and over, are you testing my patience?!"

"Do you believe I can make your soul never have a day of peace again! Let you suffer the pain of being struck by heavenly lightning every day!"

After furiously scolding the "person contacting her," Larilo finally "saw" the person in front of her clearly!

The next second, she paused, then her face filled with shock and disbelief, "Qiu Tu?!"

"Why is it you?!"

Possibly realizing her own lapse, Larilo hurriedly changed her expression back to a serious one.

Her bronze-colored pupils looked at Qiu Tu, and she asked again, "You dare to contact me still?"

Qiu Tu, having witnessed all of Larilo's expressions and knowing his method had worked, felt very confident.

He looked at Larilo, then smilingly said, "Your Highness, why would I not dare to contact you?"

"Have you forgotten? I am to be your future Archbishop."

Perhaps because it wasn't an Enter Dream, Qiu Tu was not at all afraid that Larilo would hurt him in a rage, so he was incredibly relaxed. He even dared to use the promise Larilo had made to him as a counter-attack.

Sure enough, upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Larilo let out two cold "hehe" laughs, ominously saying, "Archbishop... truly worthy of being my Archbishop."

"Calculating both me and my followers into your scheme, playing us round and round!"

"Do you know how many resources are needed to cultivate six Second-Order Cataclysmic Awakened clones? Hehehe..."

Larilo was evidently still on the verge of exploding, but Qiu Tu, who had already figured out how to pull at her emotions, was not concerned in the slightest.

He sat on the large sofa of the villa, legs crossed, not as if meeting a deity but rather like he was listening to a subordinate's report.

He stretched out a finger to analyze for Larilo, "Your Highness. I understand that you are angry with me."

"But this blame can't just be thrown on me willy-nilly."

"First of all, the bodies you helped Jia Wei cultivate, one fell into the hands of the Investigation Bureau, one was killed by Yan Chen, and the other three are under the control of the Diciplinary Department."

"Do you honestly think you can rescue them all?"

"Stop dreaming. No Evil God Cultist who falls into the hands of the Sanctuary's departments ever comes out alive."

"I just had them detonate at the same time."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Larilo's emotions indeed stabilized a bit, but even so, she was still not letting Qiu Tu off the hook—her beautiful almond-shaped eyes staring fixedly at him.

Probably because it was a remote communication, if she were in front of Qiu Tu now, she would have already flayed him alive!

After all, not only had her follower, whom she invested so many resources into training, died, but her entire face was almost battered to a pulp by Qiu Tu!

Last night, after discovering that she had been betrayed by Qiu Tu, she started to retrace his recent actions.

Soon, she discovered all sorts of clues!

Thus, she finally confirmed that Qiu Tu had never planned to side with her from the start, nor had he ever thought about cooperating with her! He was simply using her!

Such a discovery was like trampling her dignity as a High Order Cataclysmic Creature into the mud! How could she not hate Qiu Tu!

So, now hearing Qiu Tu so bluntly talk about killing her follower, her rage was even more inflamed!

Her voice, as if squeezing through her teeth bit by bit, questioned, "Why would you do this?"

"What benefit do you get from killing Jia Wei!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu actually propped his chin in thought.

After a moment, as if finally finding a reason, his eyes lit up, and then he said, "Your Highness!"

"Before, I actually didn't know why I insisted on killing Jia Wei."

"It was you who reminded me, everything must have a purpose, right?"

"So, since I did it, there must be a reason in my heart."

"Therefore, I thought for a long time, analyzing my heart, and finally found the reason!"

Qiu Tu sincerely said, "Maybe... I don't want to be an Archbishop, but aspire to become the Pope! I want to be your right-hand man on the Road to Godhood! To be the confidant of your life! Your partner!"

Saying this, Qiu Tu earnestly said, "Your Highness, I... like you!"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Larilo was dumbfounded.

Even as a High Order Cataclysmic Creature, possessing human-like intelligence and emotions, Qiu Tu's series of tricky moves still left her somewhat confused.

'Like me… so remove the people around me?'

'Oh… remove the men around me.'

'Does this even make sense?'

'Like me, so doesn't want to be an Archbishop, but wants to be the Pope?'

'Likes me, so erases my mark?'

Larilo felt that such logic was utterly shitty, making no sense at all!

She was intent on scolding Qiu Tu again, but when the words came to her lips, she realized she had somehow become momentarily speechless…

After all… although the situation was indeed bizarre, it somehow seemed barely explainable?

'What's wrong with me? Why am I starting to make excuses for Qiu Tu?'

Larilo felt she was becoming a little weird.

At this moment, Qiu Tu keenly noticed the change in Larilo's state.

He kept his facial expression unchanged, but inside he was somewhat snickering.

Emotional Fraud Manual, 108 ways to enhance a relationship number 49: Women are an "egotistical" emotional creature.

Once they discover that you are a "suitor" of theirs, although they may become aloof and seem even more unapproachable,

...in reality, they will be more tolerant of some things you do and also pay more attention to you.

So, when you find that you have annoyed a woman, just directly "confess" to her. She will be momentarily dazzled and start to reanalyze the whole matter.

Note: This "confession" is a false confession, please do not continue any further pursuit. Otherwise, you will become a sycophant and it will be counterproductive.

Note 2: This method is for the use of scumbags flirting only. Do not use for other purposes.

Recalling the record from the Emotional Fraud Manual, and given Larilo's current bewildered state, how could Qiu Tu not guess that Larilo was suffering from an overload of shock to her brain?

He believed that Larilo must already be questioning her life by now. But... just this was still not enough.

He had made Larilo fall into hell last night, and this morning was meant to make her soar to heaven.

So, he paused, and then said, "Your Highness, perhaps my confession just now was too sudden, making it somewhat difficult for you to understand or accept."

"But all of that is my true feelings."

Qiu Tu said, "Moreover, I have never betrayed you."

"Don't you want to know the exact time when Moonlight Lake will become fully solidified?"

"Actually, I have already figured it out for you."
