Thinking , Qiu Tu couldn't help but tilt his head to look at Liu Fuping's retreating figure.
The beautiful young woman seemed to have really prepared for something, even her way of walking was different—as if she was a bit sneaky, and yet somewhat shy. Despite being in her own home, she was tiptoeing as quietly as possible.
Perhaps accustomed to Liu Fuping's usual carefree manner and the back-and-forth interactions with him, Qiu Tu found himself somewhat unaccustomed to this state of hers!
Watching Liu Fuping go into the Shuigu Room, Qiu Tu lay on the couch, gazing at the ceiling, pondering over what this all meant....
Could this be the legendary "repaying a life-saving debt with one's body"?
Tsk, isn't that quite thrilling?
And while Qiu Tu was indulging in wild thoughts, the sound of "swish swash" of water also came from the Shuigu Room.
Hearing that suggestive sound, Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then suddenly sat up from the couch, no longer able to lie down.
He tiptoed to the door, ready to catch a breeze at the Shuigu Room.
To go to the bathroom, he had to pass the main entrance. But just as he reached the door, Qiu Tu froze for a second.
Because... he discovered that the riding boots he had just placed at the door were gone!
Qiu Tu hesitated for a moment then looked up at the clothes rack by the door. His jacket, which he had just hung there... was also gone.
Qiu Tu was stunned for a moment, then a smile curved on his lips. Suddenly, things felt a bit interesting....
And at that moment, the bathroom door was also opened from inside by Liu Fuping.
Liu Fuping peeked out, her beautiful eyes looking at Qiu Tu, and asked, "What are you doing standing at the entrance?"
Qiu Tu let out an "Ah?" and explained, "Nothing. Just wandering around."
Liu Fuping made an "Mmm" and then, with a shy glance at Qiu Tu, she said softly, "I noticed your clothes were a bit dirty, and your boots hadn't been cleaned for a while."
"So I've washed both your clothes and boots."
"They should be dry by tomorrow...."
With that, she lifted her gaze, looking warmly at Qiu Tu.
When Qiu Tu saw his boots and clothes missing earlier, he guessed this might happen. So he responded to Liu Fuping with an eager look, "I think they might just be able to 'dry' tonight."
Qiu Tu placed emphasis on the word "dry". Hearing this, Liu Fuping bit her lip and coyly rolled her eyes at Qiu Tu before slipping back into the bathroom.
With both man and woman willing, Qiu Tu didn't bother to pretend anymore.
He cleared his throat, stepped forward, and knocked on the door, asking, "Sister Liu, you've helped me wash my clothes and clean my shoes."
"I'm feeling a bit guilty, how about I help you wash wash as well?"
A muffled giggle from Liu Fuping came from the bathroom, "What could you help me wash?"
Qiu Tu, thick-faced, insisted, "Anything, really. I can help you scrub your back, scrub the front, scrub your legs—all possible."
"I'm strong, I can endure hardship, and I'm not tired easily!"
Saying this, and perhaps worried Liu Fuping wouldn't believe him, he assured spiritedly, "Really!"
The bathroom grew silent, save for the continual swish of the water.
For any ordinary person facing this situation, they would mostly think they've been rejected. But a seasoned player like Qiu Tu knew... this was consent!
With the atmosphere already set, do you really need a girl to tell you what you can do before you do it?
When would you ever get to the meat of the matter then!
So, Qiu Tu coughed and added, "Sister Liu, if you don't say anything, I'll take it as a yes."
With that, Qiu Tu reached out and pushed open the bathroom door.
As expected, the bathroom door wasn't locked; it swung open with just a push.
As the bathroom door opened, a dense steam immediately spilled out.
Qiu Tu walked in, feeling as if he had entered a fairyland, surrounded by mist everywhere.
Through the hazy fog, he could barely see Liu Fuping's silhouette, faint and elusive.
Qiu Tu smiled, closed the door, and then walked towards that direction.
Before he could even get close, the showerhead suddenly sprayed water at him.
Qiu Tu couldn't dodge in time, and his clothes were instantly soaked; the giggles of Liu Fuping also reached his ears.
Could Qiu Tu swallow this defeat?!
Provoked by his subordinate, he was "greatly enraged" and decided to show this unruly subordinate, Liu Fuping, the authority of his position as her superior....
The storm had passed.
Qiu Tu and Liu Fuping lay in bed, snuggled up to each other.
The triumphant Qiu Tu wrapped his arms around Liu Fuping, and while smoking a cigarette, he also started discussing serious matters.
"Sister Liu, is there any intelligence related to 'God' in Eastern City?"
Hearing Qiu Tu's question, Liu Fuping struggled to sit up, glanced at Qiu Tu and asked, "Intelligence related to 'God'?"
"Are you referring to the 'God' that Old Master Qin mentioned?"
Qiu Tu responded with a "Mmm".
With Liu Fuping's loyalty now skyrocketing to 95, and given their current relationship, of course, she would not keep any secrets.
So upon hearing Qiu Tu's question, she hesitated, then disclosed, "I might have really heard something about 'God'."
She said, "I once heard it from an elder... Ah, a senior."
"He said that, in fact... 'God' is not far from ordinary people."
"In an era where the Spirit World and the physical world are mutually influential, the material can affect the spirit, and the spirit can affect the material."
"Therefore... the thoughts and desires of all living beings may catalyze the emergence of Cataclysmic Creatures in the Spirit World."
"Among these, Cataclysmic Creatures spawned by several of the most common human desires are particularly numerous."
"Common desires?" Qiu Tu asked with interest.
Liu Fuping nodded, "Yes."
"For example: jealousy, greed, lust, and so on,"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu fell into thought for a moment, then couldn't help asking, "These all seem to be negative?"
Liu Fuping hummed in agreement and said, "Yes. That's because... negative emotions tend to gather more easily."
Qiu Tu pondered for a while and felt that it made sense.
Indeed, many times, people's positive emotions are far less intense than their negative ones.
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "So... the 'God' that Old Master Qin worships is very likely born from humanity's own lust?"
Liu Fuping nodded again, "It's very possible."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but ask, "What about your relative, has he ever mentioned how to deal with such High Order cataclysmic creatures?"
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Liu Fuping hesitated and then slowly shook her head, "No."
Seeing that Qiu Tu was a bit disappointed, she couldn't help but add, "But, I can find time to contact him and ask if there is a way."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu happily hugged Liu Fuping and planted a kiss on her with a smack!
Caught off guard by Qiu Tu's sudden attack, Liu Fuping's beautiful eyes instantly misted over, her gaze hazy and all the more enticing.
She didn't say a word, but it seemed as if a thousand words were conveyed in her eyes.
Qiu Tu read the message in her eyes and, unwilling to be outdone, ascended once more...
It was as if the moon had blushed, shyly pulling the clouds to cover the sky.
This made Xinjie City, already shrouded in darkness, seem even darker by a third...
And in the night of Xinjie City, where Order had not yet fully recovered, many were taking the opportunity to move about in secret...
While engrossed in hard work, Qiu Tu sometimes felt as if he and Liu Fuping had forgotten something, but he couldn't recall what it was...
At Tang Feifei's private villa. Holding a glass of wine, Tang Feifei sipped lightly while patiently waiting for Qiu Tu...
A silent night passed.
The next morning, Liu Fuping got up from bed, her body aching all over.
Seeing the marks that covered her body and recalling last night's "protracted battle," she couldn't help but smile.
She tidied her hair and got up to take a bath...
But no sooner had she stepped out of the bedroom than her Communicator started to buzz.
Liu Fuping walked over to the sofa and fished out her Communicator from her uniform pocket to take a look.
At that glance, her expression changed dramatically.
Because the call was from Tang Feifei!
Liu Fuping didn't pick up immediately but first opened her contact list to check.
Then she discovered that Tang Feifei had called her countless times throughout the night.
At that moment, Liu Fuping truly felt like she had been caught in an affair.
So she quickly racked her brain, thinking of what to say.
After silently contemplating for a few seconds, Liu Fuping took a deep breath and answered the call.
As soon as the call connected, Tang Feifei's distant voice came through, "Where were you last night?"
Women are masters of acting, so Liu Fuping feigned a yawn and said, "Where else could I be? Of course, I was at home."
After speaking, Liu Fuping counter-asked, "What's happened? Is there some kind of problem?"
Tang Feifei spoke gravely, "Qiu Tu didn't come to see me last night."
"I didn't dare contact him rashly and it wasn't convenient to send someone to inquire, so I was a bit worried."
Liu Fuping keenly caught the slip in Tang Feifei's words, "Worried?"
Before she could press further, Tang Feifei quickly filled the gap, "Yes. He and I were preparing to deal with Jia Shu, I'm worried that Jia Shu might have acted against him beforehand."
"In which case, I might lose an important ally."
This reason seemed reasonable enough. And, compared to Tang Feifei, Liu Fuping, who had just been intimate with Qiu Tu last night, clearly felt guiltier.
So she didn't continue to fixate on this minor issue but instead said, "I'll give him a call and ask about the situation."
Tang Feifei hummed in response.
Just when Liu Fuping thought the call was over, Tang Feifei suddenly asked another question, "Did you see Qiu Tu after you spoke to me on the phone last night?"
Hearing this crucial question, Liu Fuping was at a loss for an answer.
After all, she didn't know whether Tang Feifei was onto something...
So, after carefully considering for a moment, she finally said, "I did see him. Jia Shu sought me out last night, and when I left, I bumped into him. He was heading out."
Tang Feifei responded with a cool "Hmm" and hung up the phone.
'Something is off about her.'
'Something is off about her...?'
After hanging up, the two women who once shared an extremely intimate relationship held their Communicators with a glimmer of suspicion in their eyes.
Both knew each other too well, as well as how they treated their ordinary colleagues.
And both Tang Feifei's unusual concern and Liu Fuping's slightly concealing demeanor seemed a bit different from usual.
However, perhaps because they themselves were the "guilty" party, they couldn't be sure if they were just seeing dirt in everything they perceived as "heartfelt."
So... after hesitating, both women suppressed their doubts, preparing to use their own means to probe a bit further...
At this time, Qiu Tu was unaware that the two women with whom he had shared intimate relations were starting to doubt the purity of their relationships with him.
Right now, he had just woken up from sleep.
Perhaps the constitution of Cataclysmics truly surpasses that of ordinary people since he was still full of vitality despite having slept for only four hours.
Lying on Liu Fuping's big bed, Qiu Tu didn't idle. He took this spare time to start tallying up his recent haul of loot!
I was blocked again. Then I took a long time to make some changes. I reduced some details, but it does not affect the overall plot.
