Chapter 1816 - 733: Zhi Yan Heavenly King Offers

Qiu Tu's words made Zhi Yan's heart ache slightly.Over the years, almost everyone who knew her identity thought she had latched onto the West God King, considering it a blessing for humanity and for herself.

Every time this happened, she wanted to ask them in return: If this blessing was given to you, would you take it?

For the future of humanity, a genius girl like her submitted to an alien race's Evil God, even bearing a child for him.

This sacrifice was casually brushed off with the word "blessing," forgetting her sacrifice.

You must know, because of this past experience, even though she was one of the three Heavenly Kings, when discussing major human affairs, the other two would privately agree on a result before holding a small meeting.

Moreover, in high-level meetings, if her proposal could possibly benefit the Evil God, it would often be met with suspicion. People doubting her stance.

Maybe that's why "spies" find it hard to step into the spotlight and rise to high levels.

— No one knows what their real stance is. No one knows which side they are truly acting for.

So, over the years, Zhi Yan Heavenly King gradually got used to her role in the 2nd Sanctuary: although she was one of the three Heavenly Kings, she felt like an outsider.

This is also why she only handles matters related to humans and the Evil God now.

And it is the reason she sent Li Feng to the Edge Region, to build her own base:

She has faced so much criticism and disdain. The future might be even harder for Li Feng, a child with Divine Blood.

Originally, she thought over time, the other two Heavenly Kings would gradually understand her and acknowledge her sacrifice.

Unexpectedly, the first to understand her was actually Qiu Tu.

Thinking of this, her eyes reddened a bit.

At this moment, Qiu Tu keenly detected Zhi Yan's change in mood.

He glanced down at Zhi Yan Heavenly King, then asked with concern, "Zhi Yan, are you okay?"

Saying this, for the first time tonight, he made a slightly inappropriate move. He walked around the sofa, came to the front of Zhi Yan from behind, then reached out and pulled her into his arms, gently patting her back.

While patting, Qiu Tu soothed, "It's okay, it's okay. Don't feel wronged, don't feel wronged."

Originally Zhi Yan might have managed to hold it in, but Qiu Tu's comfort made her unable to keep it together.

However, she had passed the age to cry out loud, so she just let her eyes get slightly wet, leaning against Qiu Tu's abdomen, quietly easing her grievances.

At this moment, seeing the state Zhi Yan Heavenly King was in, Qiu Tu's brain whirred, and after a moment, he sighed slightly and said, "Ah, in fact, this is also my fault."

Possibly unable to understand how this was related to Qiu Tu, Zhi Yan inadvertently raised her head to look at him and asked, "Why your fault?"

Qiu Tu looked down, touched her smooth cheek, and said, "Because I was born too late."

"If I had been born earlier, maybe you wouldn't have had to suffer those grievances."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhi Yan Heavenly King's mouth couldn't help but curl up. Obviously... even though she knew Qiu Tu was trying to cheer her up, she still appreciated it.

But, as a mature woman, Zhi Yan, of course, couldn't reveal her feelings so easily.

So, she deliberately pinpointed the flaw in Qiu Tu's words and sighed, "Yes... we are decades apart."

"Doing the math, I could be your great-grandmother."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu nonchalantly retorted, "What great-grandmother, what decades? You've just walked a bit more of life's path ahead of me."

Hearing this, Zhi Yan Heavenly King's mouth couldn't help but curl again into a beautiful arc.

She quickly pressed down the corner of her mouth and continued to say, "You're just comforting me."

Her eyes were downcast, resembling two pools of autumn water, with their gaze seeming to enchant, "In fact, I'm just old."

Qiu Tu, hearing this, half-hugged her and softly said, "You're not old; it's just that I didn't come in time to accompany you, letting you walk alone for so long."

Qiu Tu's sweet words one after another made the corner of Zhi Yan's mouth almost constantly curl up.

And the more troubling thing was... she found that Qiu Tu had also reacted.

Her face just happened to be resting on Qiu Tu's leg, her line of sight parallel, easily observing that perfect arc.

In that instant, Zhi Yan Heavenly King felt a little hot, as if the atmosphere in the room had changed. Thus, she couldn't help but swallow.

But don't forget, it was now the dead of night, with only her and Qiu Tu in the inner courtyard of the City Lord Mansion.

So, it was fine if she didn't swallow. But once she did, the sound was incredibly clear.

Hearing that sound, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look down at Zhi Yan Heavenly King.

At this moment, Zhi Yan Heavenly King also looked up at him.

Their gazes intertwined.

In that instant, it was as if "Boom!" something seemed to ignite!

Qiu Tu lifted Zhi Yan Heavenly King in his arms and strode towards the adjoining bedroom.

At this moment, Zhi Yan Heavenly King, carried whole in Qiu Tu's arms, had eyes like water, cheeks slightly flushed like peach blossoms in spring, exuding a matured woman's allure and shyness.

Not until Qiu Tu tossed her onto the bed and then pressed down did Zhi Yan Heavenly King come to her senses, softly saying, "Wait, wait."

But Qiu Tu directly silenced her with a kiss, "Can't wait any longer. Time to claim you."
