Zhaoji is jealous? (Seeking monthly votes)

Zhao Ji had always possessed a magical charm.

Even though Qiu Tu had gradually become the core of the entire team, Zhao Ji, due to her personality, talent, and combat strength, was still the focus of everyone's attention within the team.

Even just sitting there, her every word and action would still attract everyone's notice.

Therefore, upon noticing her slightly unusual behavior, the few people present couldn't help but turn their gaze towards her.

When they saw Zhao Ji's somewhat cold and solemn eyes, the women couldn't help but feel a bit strange.

Although Zhao Ji usually resembled a large block of ice, her attitude towards most people was actually quite peaceful.

To summarize it in a very simple sentence: Zhao Ji equally looked down on everyone.

Precisely because she looked down on them, she didn't care about most people.

In the entire household, besides Qiu Tu, the only one who held a slight position in her heart and whose requests she would consider was Qing Lan, who had a talent of 90 points.

So, upon suddenly seeing Zhao Ji show hostility towards someone, the women immediately looked curiously at Mo Li at the door.

They wanted to see who this divine being was that could actually attract Zhao Ji's attention.

While the women in the house were gossiping, Qiu Tu naturally couldn't just sit there and join in. Mo Li's disguise hadn't been revealed yet, and Qiu Tu still had a collaboration with her.

So, Qiu Tu stood up with a smile, walked over, and smoothed things over, "Little Sister Mo Li is here?"

"Quick, come in and sit."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Mo Li did not step into the house.

Instead, a pitiful expression appeared on her pure face, then she glanced at Zhao Ji, lowered her head, and said aggrievedly, "Brother Qiu Tu... I... I don't dare. That Elder Sister seems... not to like me."

Hearing the words of the girl before them, the women in the room couldn't help but gasp.

Qing Lan raised her hands, then took a few steps back, leaving the "stage" to Qiu Tu, while she herself tiptoed to the side, picked up a plate of melon seeds, and while watching Qiu Tu, Mo Li, and Zhao Ji, began cracking them.

And the little red snake Zhu Wu flicked her tail, coiled around a piece of watermelon, and silently flashed onto Qing Lan's shoulder, also craning her snake head, watching curiously.

And Yao Qin, who had returned at some point, also picked up Xiao Yuan Yao, who was still dismantling the mahjong tiles, and sneakily hid to the side.

All four of them looked as if they had stumbled upon major gossip, their eyes shifting between Qiu Tu, Mo Li, and Zhao Ji, clearly curious about how things would unfold next.

At this moment, hearing Mo Li's words, Zhao Ji, who was sitting upright on the sofa, let out a soft "heh." Her tall figure was like an ancient, unmelting iceberg, exuding an irresistible coldness.

Her eyes fell lightly on Mo Li, without saying a word, yet it seemed as if she had said a lot.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu continued to smooth things over, saying with a smile, "Don't misunderstand, Sister Zhao Ji just has this kind of personality."

"She doesn't mean any harm."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Mo Li lightly bit her pink lips, lowered her head, and cautiously glanced at Zhao Ji, saying softly, "Okay. Then it seems I misunderstood Elder Sister."

After speaking, she finally smiled and stepped into the room, standing side by side with Qiu Tu.

She looked up at Qiu Tu, then said softly, "Brother, I came this time under the command of Your Excellency Mu Xin to bring you something."

After speaking, she took out a card from her pocket and handed it to Qiu Tu with both hands.

This was clearly a space-type Cataclysmic Treasure, so Qiu Tu naturally took it, preparing to take a look.

Just then, Mo Li suddenly took a step forward towards Qiu Tu, then she stood on her tiptoes, leaned close to Qiu Tu's ear, and whispered softly, "Brother... this card is a bit special. It's a 'core' left behind after a world was destroyed."

"After being crafted, this 'world core' can not only store items but also store life."

"It's considered an independent small world. Extremely precious."

"You must cherish it dearly."

It has to be said, Mo Li was indeed very good at flirting. When she stood on her tiptoes, it made the lines of her entire body more fluid.

And when she spoke, her cherry lips were almost only a few millimeters away from Qiu Tu's ear.

Qiu Tu could even smell the faint jasmine fragrance on her, and could feel the warm breath the girl gently exhaled when she spoke.

Qiu Tu even felt the tiny, invisible fine hairs on his ear being gently touched by Mo Li's lips. This immediately made him feel ticklish, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

At this moment, perhaps because Mo Li was being too provocative, or even challenging, Zhao Ji's brows furrowed slightly. The next second, the water glass on the table shattered with a "crack!"

Water splashed everywhere, landing on the table and the floor.

Qing Lan, Yao Qin, and the others all let out a quiet "wow," exchanged glances, and then excitedly resumed watching the drama.

However, Mo Li seemed to not have seen the shattered glass at all. After finishing her "whispers" with Qiu Tu, she lowered her feet and then looked at Qing Lan, Yao Qin, and the others who were watching the drama.

Seeing Mo Li look over, the four women quickly put away their expressions of watching the drama and put on serious faces.

But Mo Li seemed not to care at all.

She smiled slightly, her eyes curved, her dimples shallow, looking as pure as a white lotus.

Then she walked in front of the four women and said with a shallow smile, "Elder Sisters, hello."

"Besides bringing a gift for Brother Qiu Tu, I also brought gifts for you."

Saying this, she opened her pocket and took out several beautifully wrapped gifts, handing them to the four women.

At this point, one could see the different personalities of the women.

Qing Lan and Zhu Wu, the two best friends, were stunned for a moment, then their eyes lit up, and they reached out (or extended their tails) to take them.

Yao Qin looked at Mo Li with a bit of vigilance, then looked at Qiu Tu. After getting Qiu Tu's approval, she calmly said thank you and reached out to take the gift.

As for Xiao Yuan Yao... she bit Mo Li's hand, didn't even look at the gift, and then said dully, "Thank you."

Qiu Tu, Qing Lan, Yao Qin, Zhu Wu: ...

However, compared to the speechless four, Mo Li seemed particularly familiar with interacting with God Kings of the Chaos Path. So she covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "God King Yuan Yao, the gift isn't my hand, it's this."

Saying this, she swept with her mental power, picked up the gift that had fallen to the ground, and handed it to Xiao Yuan Yao.

Xiao Yuan Yao looked at the gift blankly, said "oh," and then finally released Mo Li's hand and reached out to pick up the gift.

After settling Xiao Yuan Yao, Mo Li also walked towards Zhao Ji.

Coming to Zhao Ji's side, Mo Li said with a smiling face, "This must be Elder Sister Zhao Ji, right?"

Without waiting for Zhao Ji to answer, she directly bowed slightly on her own and greeted, "Hello, Elder Sister."

After greeting, Mo Li took out another gift and handed it to Zhao Ji with both hands, "Elder Sister, this is your gift."

Facing Mo Li's eagerness, Zhao Ji didn't respond immediately but watched her quietly.

In that instant, the air seemed to freeze.

The women who had just received gifts also held their breath, patiently watching everything unfold before them.

After about seven or eight seconds, Zhao Ji slowly extended her hand and said indifferently, "Thank you."

After giving the gift, the smile on Mo Li's face became even sweeter.

She didn't strike while the iron was hot but knew when to stop.

She returned to the doorway and said to Qiu Tu, "Brother, I've delivered the things. If you have any questions, you can contact me."

"I'll be waiting for your call anytime, Brother."

With that, she politely waved to everyone and then gracefully walked out of Yuan Yao's house.

She came suddenly and left suddenly. She didn't even give the others much time to react.

This left the women who were watching the drama feeling quite disappointed. Even the gifts in their hands didn't feel as appealing anymore.

Qiu Tu ignored these women and looked at Zhao Ji, saying, "Sister Zhao Ji, let's go upstairs and talk."

Zhao Ji gave an expressionless "Mm" and stood up, walking towards the stairs first.

Qiu Tu followed closely behind and quickly disappeared at the stairwell.

Seeing the two go upstairs, Qing Lan and the others exchanged glances and then began whispering.

Qing Lan, "Sister Zhao Ji must have been jealous just now, right?"

Zhu Wu gnawed on a piece of watermelon, "Yes, yes. I feel the same way."

The well-endowed Yao Qin was a little strange, "But why was Zhao Ji not jealous of others, only of that girl just now?"

Hearing this, Zhu Wu speculated, "Is it because that girl was being a bit of a white lotus?"

Saying this, she paused and asked again, "Do you know what it means to be a white lotus?"

Apart from Zhu Wu, the other women clearly didn't understand some human terms very well, so Zhu Wu immediately began to explain.

Meanwhile, on the rooftop upstairs.

Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji stood there, looking at Mo Li's figure disappearing into thin air in the distance, and were also talking with serious expressions.

Qiu Tu asked curiously, "How was the test? Is she really a Chaos Witch?"

Hearing this, the expression on Zhao Ji's face also turned serious.

She thought carefully for a moment before speaking, "Not sure. She's a bit like her, but not entirely."

"But what's certain is that her strength is definitely not ordinary."

Qiu Tu nodded slightly. Zhao Ji's judgment was consistent with his.

Leaving aside Mo Li's relaxed state in front of Qiu Tu and Bai Yi yesterday, just looking at how Mo Li faced Zhao Ji and Yao Qin, two God King level experts, today, one could see that she wasn't afraid of either of them at all.

This was definitely not something that could be faked.

Just as Qiu Tu was thinking this, two surprised cries suddenly rang out from downstairs.

Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji's conversation was interrupted, and they couldn't help but look towards the staircase.

Sure enough, after a moment, Qing Lan came running up with her short legs, making a "thump-thump-thump" sound.

She held the gift box Mo Li had just given her in both hands and said with a surprised look, "Boss, look! It's a God King level Boundless God Crystal!"

Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji were stunned when they heard this. They exchanged glances, then Qiu Tu looked at Qing Lan's gift box, while Zhao Ji began to unwrap the gift in her hands.

A moment later, after Qiu Tu confirmed that Qing Lan's gift box indeed contained a God King level Boundless God Crystal, Zhao Ji also opened her gift box.

Qiu Tu looked at her, and Zhao Ji nodded at Qiu Tu expressionlessly. Clearly, Zhao Ji's box also contained a God King level Boundless God Crystal.

"What a generous gesture," Qiu Tu exclaimed with a hint of surprise.

God King level Boundless God Crystals were not common items. On the contrary, they were extremely precious.

After all, Boundless God Crystals were originally the hardest currency in all worlds, and the God King level ones were the highest grade among all Boundless God Crystals.

Similar to other Boundless God Crystals, only when a Cataclysm Creature fell could its essence transform into a Boundless God Crystal.

And God King level Boundless God Crystals could, of course, only be obtained after a God King fell.

God Kings were true powerhouses who stood at the very top of all worlds and all living beings. Within the six major factions, they were the true core layer. The death of even one was a major event.

Furthermore, above Heavenly Gods, using ordinary Boundless God Crystals for cultivation and recovery gradually became less effective. God King level Boundless God Crystals, however, had an accelerating effect.

Therefore, this also made God King level Boundless God Crystals exceptionally precious.

"Indeed, a generous gesture." Hearing Qiu Tu's exclamation, Zhao Ji nodded slightly.

However, compared to Qiu Tu's simple sigh, she was thinking more deeply.

Is it a provocation? Or a show of force?

Zhao Ji's eyes, as deep and cold as a frozen pond, became solemn and serious. Or... is she deliberately provoking me?

Mo Li's figure appeared before her eyes, and that figure slowly overlapped with the figure from several hundred years ago.

Is it her?

While Zhao Ji was thinking this, Yao Qin and Zhu Wu downstairs were also holding their gifts and discussing Mo Li.

Zhu Wu shook her red snake head and said, "I was ignorant just now. How could that girl be a green tea? She is our good sister."

"From now on, if anyone bullies her, I will be the first to disagree."

Listening to Zhu Wu's resolute words, Yao Qin glanced at her and asked, "What if it's Zhao Ji?"

Zhu Wu "tsk"ed, lowered her head, and put an entire apple in her mouth. While swallowing, she said, "That's a different price."

Hearing this, Yao Qin couldn't help but laugh.

After sending away Qing Lan, who had come to report, Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji on the rooftop also began to examine the "transaction chips" Mo Li had given Qiu Tu.

It had to be said that Lao Bai's credibility was guaranteed. He had promised to give Qiu Tu 10 Heavenly Gods of the Order Path to help Qiu Tu advance to God King, and he really did.

He had promised to meet half of Qiu Tu's exorbitant demands for resources, and he had given them all, with only more, not less.

Coupled with the special treasure item "Beauty and the Country Card" that Mo Li mentioned, which is made from a "World Core" and can house living beings, Lao Bai can be said to have shown full sincerity.

After taking out all the supplies, Qiu Tu didn't delay. He directly divided the resources with Zhao Ji and then prepared to go back to break through.

Qiu Tu would break through to God King, while Zhao Ji would break through to Peak Heavenly God.

Returning to his room, Qiu Tu placed the 10 unconscious "Order Path" Heavenly Gods on the ground.

There were 10 Heavenly Gods, eight males and two females.

Qiu Tu checked them one by one and found that their strength was mainly concentrated in Elementary Heavenly God and Intermediate Heavenly God. Only one male Heavenly God had reached the Peak Heavenly God realm, possessing considerable strength.

Normally, this level of strength should be a core force in the "Order Shrine". But because of the war, he was just "war booty".

This was the cruelty of war.

While thinking this, Qiu Tu also checked the clothing and items of these Heavenly Gods.

From the clothes of these 10 Heavenly Gods, Qiu Tu found a pentagram mark. This was the symbol of the Star Founder God System.

It seems... they are all subordinates of the Star Founder God King.

This way... devouring them will have even less psychological burden.

After all, they were the ones who invaded and provoked us first...

While thinking this, Qiu Tu also tried to devour the 10 Heavenly Gods in front of him according to the method of devouring "Heavenly Gods" that Zhao Ji had taught him.

A God King is the king of a God System, the true master of a God System.

Therefore... the core of a Heavenly God wanting to advance to God King is to expand their authority and merge paths.

And there are generally two ways to expand authority and merge paths.

The first method is to "subdue" Heavenly Gods.

This is the most commonly used and convenient method of advancement currently.

Generally speaking, it is for a quasi-God King to form a contract with other Heavenly Gods and gain their loyalty.

In this way, the quasi-God King can indirectly control their "Calamity Path", then build their own God System, and finally advance to God King.

There are two disadvantages to this.

Firstly... the vassal of a vassal is not my vassal.

So... Heavenly Gods are "used" one less each time. They cannot be stacked infinitely.

For example, Qing Lan, Shao Hua, and Doris. Since they are loyal to Yao Qin, unless they sever their relationship with Yao Qin, they cannot be loyal to Qiu Tu again.

And although Yao Qin can be loyal to Qiu Tu, she only represents herself. So Qiu Tu only has 1 follower.

The second method is "devouring".

This method is the most beneficial for a quasi-God King, but also the most troublesome.

Like the first method, although simple, followers can break the relationship at the risk of injury or a decline in strength.

And once too many followers escape, the God King's realm can even fall.

The second method is different. It involves devouring Heavenly Gods and absorbing the "Calamity Path" contained within their bodies.

This way, all great power belongs to oneself, and there's no need to worry about subordinates rebelling.

Of course, this method also has its drawbacks, namely, it's troublesome.

Because not all Heavenly Gods can be "devoured."

Apart from those with the "same Calamity Path" or "same race," who can be freely devoured, other Paths or races depend on compatibility.

Many Paths or races may not be compatible with a Quasi-God King.

And besides needing compatible Paths and races, the most important thing for devouring a Heavenly God is that the Heavenly God must be alive.

They cannot be a corpse or a piece of "Boundless God Crystal" when being devoured. They must be a living Heavenly God.

This means these Heavenly Gods must be captured alive. This is the difficult part of the second method.

Fortunately, the most difficult step has already been done for Qiu Tu by Bai Yi and the others.

So, Qiu Tu only needs to patiently devour and advance.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu no longer delayed. He directly stored eight unconscious Heavenly Gods, leaving only two, and began devouring.

Meanwhile.

While Qiu Tu was striving towards becoming a God King, Zhao Ji also set up a pile of Magic Arrays with various effects in her room, layered inside and out.

Then Zhao Ji directly poured out the resources Qiu Tu had given her and began cultivating desperately.

Qiu Tu's rapid progress clearly gave her a strong sense of urgency.

Having never been inferior to anyone in her life, how could she accept Qiu Tu being above her?

Previously, what had hindered her advancement speed were resources. Now that Qiu Tu had helped her make up for the resources, all that lay before her was a smooth path.

Thinking this, Zhao Ji couldn't help but calm down and begin cultivating diligently.

Just like that, in the blink of an eye, seven days passed.

During these seven days, the Chaos Faction and the Order Shrine were still locked in fierce, inseparable combat.

At the request of the Star Founder God King, the Order Shrine sent another wave of reinforcements.

But unfortunately, the Chaos Faction had nothing in abundance except people. So when the Order Shrine sent reinforcements, they did too.

Thus, for a time, both sides were once again in a stalemate.

And after the reinforcements failed to achieve good results, the Order Shrine clearly began to seriously consider whether this great war was still worth continuing, and how to bring it to an end...

And just as the entire situation was deadlocked, a golden light shot straight up from Qiu Tu's room into the sky! Then a vast aura began to spread outwards from Qiu Tu's room!
