Chapter 1748 713: I'd Rather Be Stabbed with a Knife

I have to say, among Qiu Tu's women, Qing Lan is probably the most clear-headed.

The other women are somewhat shaken by Qiu Tu's relentless "strategies."

Only Qing Lan maintains a respectable distance from Qiu Tu.

So, upon hearing Qiu Tu's bold words, Qing Lan quickly takes a step back, crosses her arms in front of her chest, and makes a "stop" gesture, then says with annoyance,

"Stay the night with me? Dream on. I'd rather be stabbed with a knife."

Qiu Tu: ....

Hearing Qing Lan's words, Qiu Tu is both amused and frustrated.

Ever since his arrival, he has been undefeated with women, never encountering such a feisty one before.

However, he understands that if Qing Lan dares to disturb him despite his repeated warnings, it must indeed be something urgent.

So, he doesn't bother to dwell on Qing Lan's offense. With a swift move, he grabs Qing Lan by the collar and flies her to the rooftop terrace where they had chatted last night, despite her flailing arms.

Even though there's a new female lead tonight, the rooftop terrace remains just as beautiful.

Landing on the terrace, Qiu Tu drops Qing Lan on the ground and says irritably, "Fine. Tell me what kind of critical intelligence you've come across."

"If I'm not satisfied with your story, I'll stab you with a knife."

Relieved by Qiu Tu's new promise, Qing Lan adorably gets up from the ground and begins to recount exactly the intelligence she obtained from Candle Dance.

Though Qiu Tu has a fondness for beauty, he knows that his standing in this world and his access to such human beauties stem mainly from his strength and status.

So, when he hears that a Divine King has forcibly breached the "World Barrier" and descended into this world, Qiu Tu becomes serious.

He puts aside his indulgence of the past two days and swiftly switches to work mode. Then he looks seriously at Qing Lan and asks,

"Are you saying... a meteor appeared in the sky just now, and Candle Dance identified it as an omen of the 'Divine King's Arrival'?"

"And she also calculated the location where that 'Divine King' descended?"

Qing Lan nods and follows up by saying, "Yes. It's in the 'Southern Kingdom'."

Qiu Tu hears this and nods slightly. He does not underestimate the message Qing Lan brings in the middle of the night.

While Candle Dance has a reputation for being unreliable and carefree, she would not joke about major matters.

So, Qiu Tu simply raises his hand.

In the next second, a communicator flies up from below, landing in Qiu's hand.

Holding the communicator, Qiu Tu makes a call.

"Boundless Heart Sea," as part of the overall Spirit World, is composed entirely of spirit.

So, theoretically, any significant event in the world would manifest as an anomaly.

Thus, within the Human Alliance, a department dedicated to observing celestial phenomena is established, known as the "Astronomical Bureau."

The Astronomical Bureau monitors and records celestial phenomena 24 hours a day, although generally, only significant phenomena are reported.

Based on what Qing Lan just said, this meteor did not present many anomalies, so the Astronomical Bureau is unlikely to report it, though they would certainly record it.

Qiu Tu's call has the highest level of communication access, so it gets connected in less than two seconds.

Qiu Tu inquires about the meteor anomaly just now.

Sure enough, the Astronomical Bureau has a record, and it completely matches what Qing Lan said.

Having confirmed the anomaly's authenticity, Qiu Tu thinks for two seconds before retrieving a finger-width wooden sword from the Dimensional Space.

He slides his index and middle fingers along the wooden sword.

In the next second, the wooden sword suddenly becomes semi-transparent, spreading slowly like a peacock unfurling its tail, revealing a semi-transparent area.

Two seconds later, the semi-transparent area gradually lights up, displaying a cold, fairy-like Female Knight.

She wears a snow-white Hanfu, her legs long and straight, her narrow waist accentuating her full bosom.

In the image, she is crouching lightly on a wall, her face cold yet stealthy as she observes something.

Seeing Qiu Tu, she glances sideways and asks calmly, "Is there something you need from me?"

Apparently, this is Shao Hua, the notoriously aloof niece of the four Divine Countries, one of the new six Heavenly Gods, and a Female Knight Qiu Tu once collaborated with.

Qiu Tu doesn't mind Shao Hua's aloofness.

Currently, he is capable of writing for 30 minutes but can push it to 300 minutes, writing until Doris cries out.

But Shao Hua is evidently not Doris and is uninterested in these things.

Thus, it's understandable that she shows no particular friendliness towards him.

At most, their relationship doesn't even count as friends, merely as partners with a foundation of one previous cooperation.

Under such circumstances, business-like communication is clearly the best choice for both.

With this thought, Qiu Tu speaks about the intelligence he has and advises her to start a confidential investigation and share any intelligence in a timely manner.

After hearing Qiu Tu's words, Shao Hua silently ponders for a moment, then suddenly asks, "Guess what I'm doing right now?"

Qiu Tu looks at Shao Hua squatting on the wall in a somewhat inelegant posture and pauses for a moment, "I hope it's not what I think. That would be disgusting."

A question mark slowly appears above Shao Hua's head: ?

She obviously can't follow Qiu Tu's train of thought, but her virtue is not bothering with things she cannot understand.

Therefore, she does not let Qiu Tu continue guessing and instead says, "I'm monitoring that Divine King who just descended."
