Let them offer their loyalty!

Apart from the reasons mentioned above, Qiu Tu chose to honor the deal with Tang Feifei for another significant reason. That reason was that the region controlled by Xie Yue had very few Leyline Nodes.

Only 36.

It was the smallest region in the Boundless Heart Sea.

With such a small region, not only was the potential for power growth limited, but it was also easily susceptible to being taken over by others.

Therefore, if Tang Feifei didn't refine the Central Hub of the region quickly, it wouldn't be long before an Evil God set its sights on the unmanned area and came to refine it.

Offering it to Tang Feifei was certainly better than letting an Evil God benefit, right?

Moreover, the region controlled by Tang Feifei had 36 Leyline Nodes, while the region controlled by Qiu Tu had 81 Leyline Nodes.

Every additional Leyline Node significantly increased the time needed for refinement.

So, even if an Evil God targeted regions controlled by humans in the Boundless Heart Sea, it would likely prioritize seizing the region controlled by Tang Feifei first.

In doing so, Tang Feifei would shield herself from a wave of human malice, and prepare herself for the next wave of malice from the Evil Gods.

Qiu Tu's strategic depth was set to be greatly enhanced once again!

Additionally, the favor of providing the Central Hub would eventually be repaid by Tang Feifei.

Qiu Tu could confidently say he wouldn't lose out...

As he calculated the gains and losses in his mind, Qiu Tu's car slowly entered Tang Feifei's villa.

Tan Huimin turned off the ignition, parked the car, and opened the door for Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu got out of the car and looked up at the villa in front of him, suddenly remembering... the Garden Villa that Yan Chen spent two to three years building seemed to be vacant?

Now that he had become the Deputy Director, theoretically, he could also have his own detached villa.

But due to being so busy, he had never bothered to ask the bureau to assign him one.

Next, once he became the Acting Bureau Chief, could he perhaps lay a claim to Yan Chen's property?

While thinking this, Qiu Tu stepped into Tang Feifei's villa.

Inside the villa, Tang Feifei, wrapped in bandages, was sitting on the sofa reading a book.

Possibly due to her upbringing, she still sat upright even though she was injured.

As a Fourth-order Catastrophe-evolver, Tang Feifei had already "seen" Qiu Tu the moment he entered the villa.

Hearing Qiu Tu's footsteps, she put down the book, looked up at him—her wheat-colored skin glowing with health, exuding a wild vitality.

"Arrived?"

Qiu Tu's gaze swept across Tang Feifei's beautiful face.

Even though the two were already very familiar with each other's bodies… every time he recalled how her serious, aloof face would close her eyes and chant under him...

Qiu Tu's heartbeat still quickened.

He grunted in acknowledgment, then walked over and sat next to Tang Feifei, looking at her right hand and left leg fixed in plaster, and asked, "How's the injury?"

Tang Feifei's beautiful eyes fell on Qiu Tu and she slightly shook her head, "It's nothing."

"Four Orders heal fast, it won't take a week to recover."

Qiu Tu nodded slightly upon hearing this. Recovery speed for Catastrophe-evolvers really increased a lot after the third order, though still within the range of ordinary beings.

But… Fourth-order Catastrophe-evolvers had already started to truly transcend human limits.

For a common person, a bone injury that takes 100 days to heal, a Fourth-order Catastrophe-evolver could recover in five to six days without any medicine or other aids.

Such endurance almost made Fourth-order Catastrophe-evolvers invincible roaches—true humanoid weapons.

And if Fourth-order were this powerful, one could only wonder how powerful Fifth-order would be, and what kind of formidable power a Peak Fifth-order Great Evil God would possess...

Honestly, Qiu Tu found it hard to imagine...

At this moment, while Qiu Tu was still pondering Tang Feifei's injuries, her composure also seemed to falter.

She looked at Qiu Tu, her gaze flickering slightly. Although her expression was still aloof, it seemed to reveal her inner anticipation.

She asked, "...about becoming the Domain Master?"

Qiu Tu had previously told her that once they eliminated Xie Yue, he would help her become the Domain Master.

If things went quickly, the results could be available the next day; if not, they would have to plan more thoroughly.

No one wanted complications—if it could be done the next day, who would choose to slowly strategize?

Thus, upon seeing Qiu Tu, Tang Feifei could not quite control her emotions.

Seeing her like this, Qiu Tu smiled, then nodded slightly.

After receiving Qiu Tu's affirmative response, Tang Feifei's eyes brightened sharply.

In an instant, her pupils turned amber and a phantom of her Martial Soul began to faintly materialize behind her...

Clearly, this news had pushed her emotions to the peak.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu still deliberately threw cold water on her enthusiasm, "Feifei. Next, I will tell you the secrets of being a Domain Master."

"But... to protect my interests, I hope you can swear an oath not to reveal this secret."

The higher the level of a Catastrophe being, the stronger the force of an oath.

Although a Fourth-order Catastrophe-evolver wouldn't necessarily fall from breaking an oath, they could still be severely injured.

Of course... Qiu Tu never actually planned to rely on this to limit Tang Feifei.

The Tang family certainly had many ways to circumvent an oath.

But he just wanted an attitude. With this attitude, Tang Feifei would hesitate or feel uneasy before leaking any secrets.

And after leaking, she would give much more compensation.

Qiu Tu never trusted human nature, nor tested it, but... he enjoyed playing with it.
