Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 1422 - 616: Qiu Tu: Candle Dance, I Give You Freedom (Requesting Monthly Ticket)

Even though I didn't really have much affection for Candle Dance, seeing my "daughter" betray me so decisively still made Shen Yuzhou's face look a bit ugly.

He adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, concealing his emotions, and then pointedly said, "Speaker Qiu. It seems your charm is indeed remarkable."

"Just a few days ago, Candle Dance kept saying she wanted you as her new dad."

"Now that the handover is barely over, she's even more eager to go by your side."

"It really is... A new generation replacing the old."

Shen Yuzhou's words seemed innocuous at first glance. But a closer listen reveals something off.

After all, most men, especially those in power, usually have a strong sense of possession and control.

There's a natural vigilance towards women with a "history".

And women who are "fickle" and "never satisfied" are even harder to trust.

The "Heavenly God Controller" and the "Heavenly God Reincarnation" have a "contract" relationship. However... it's obvious that the closer the relationship is, the more effective it is.

Now, with Qiu Tu and Candle Dance just being together, Shen Yuzhou is planting a thorn, clearly with ill intent.

Yet this little trick, to Qiu Tu, is all too simple and obvious.

So he saw through it at once, smiling as he prepared to retaliate.

But before he could speak, Candle Dance spoke up first.

She pointed at Shen Yuzhou's nose, cursing, "You dog-like old Deng! Why can't I think about my new dad?!"

"Comparing you to my new dad, what's good about you?"

"Is it that you're older? Weaker? Or uglier?"

Shen Yuzhou:.....

Qiu Tu:.....

It's undeniable, the "Heavenly God Reincarnation" truly has a completely different personality. Compared to the reserved and noble Zhao Ji, Candle Dance's combative and defiant nature is truly eye-opening.

Qiu Tu even doubted how "Candle Dance" became a "Heavenly God" in her past life, was it by scolding people?

What path is this woman even on?

Meanwhile, as Qiu Tu was pondering this, Shen Yuzhou was fuming red with anger. His eyes bloodshot, he pointed at "Candle Dance", wanting to hurl some curses.

But as his reflex moved his hand to his thumb, he suddenly remembered... his "dad" wasn't under his control anymore.

His words caught in his throat, his nostrils flared a bit, and he finally took a deep breath, putting his hand down heavily! Choosing not to argue with Candle Dance.

Seeing him like that, Candle Dance, with a face exactly like Shen Lingshuang's, showed a hint of disappointment.

Then she muttered, loudly enough for the three to hear, "A pity. Didn't scold me."

"If he scolded me, I could openly kill him."

"Anyway, new dad just got the ring, couldn't control me for a moment. It's reasonable I killed an old dad, right?"

"At most, just apologize, offer some compensation."

"Is the Third Sanctuary really going to come knocking?"

Hearing this, Candle Dance's big, watery eyes kept darting toward Qiu Tu.

Before Qiu Tu could react, Shen Yuzhou's hair stood on end!

This wasn't self-talk, it was clearly prepping for "colluding after a crime"!

So his face turned ashen as he glared at Candle Dance, then said, "Since I dared personally hand you over to Speaker Qiu, do you really think I don't have any defense mechanisms?"

Upon hearing that, Candle Dance immediately displayed a disappointed expression.

Qiu Tu:....

These two seem not to be the sharpest tools in the shed.

To be honest, after experiencing much in the "Northwestern Region", seeing too many sly veterans, transitioning suddenly to interacting with the Third and Fourth Sanctuaries, Qiu Tu was somewhat unaccustomed.

While Shen Yuzhou and Li Feng are somewhat shrewd, compared to the "Northwestern Region's" bunch of old foxes, there remains a significant gap.

Especially Shen Yuzhou and the Third Sanctuary, they're hardly in the same league as cunning schemers, more like a bunch of hysterical old men and women.

This might be because... they've been one of the earliest human shelters, bearing the brunt of war pressure all these years.

And the factional struggles within the sanctuaries are more akin to jungle laws, bloody and bare. Strength reigns supreme, the winner takes all.

In such times, they don't need to delve into politics, but just crazily improve their prowess.

Conversely, the "Northwestern Region" being a secondary battleground faced reduced impacts, giving human shelters more developmental opportunities.

So while strength is still important, social acumen and strategies also matter equally.

This has led to the "Southwestern Region's" Third, Fourth, and Fifth Sanctuaries being rougher in demeanor. Meanwhile, the "Northwestern Region's" Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Sanctuaries are more subtle and sinister.

After silently comparing the two regions in his mind, Qiu Tu lifted his head and tried to smooth things over for the two, "Chairman Shen, don't be angry. Candle Dance is just joking around."

After speaking, Qiu Tu paid no attention to their reactions and proactively began a different topic, "I really appreciate Chairman Shen for sending 'Candle Dance' here, with this, our deal can be considered officially completed."

"Next, I will head to the 'Boundless Heart Sea - Core Region', to pursue higher paths."

"And with the 'Overseas Enclave' law in place, you can also establish offices, extending your influence over the Sixth and Seventh Sanctuaries."

At this point, Qiu Tu even subtly beautified the deal between both sides, "Right now our human race faces the greatest disaster in history. We must unite as one, with one heart and one mind."

"We must consolidate resources, those with the potential to reach the seventh and eighth ranks should go all out for it. Those capable of integrating regional resources should do so."
