Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 1423 - 616: Qiu Tu: Candle Dance, I Grant You Freedom

Qiu Tu's gesture was well executed, so Shen Yuzhou's face immediately showed a trace of approval. He said earnestly, "Yes. Exactly."

"In the face of the Cataclysm, we must integrate all resources that can be integrated."

"There might be some sacrifices among them, but it's all for the betterment of the Human Race."

Qiu Tu nodded slightly, appearing to be in deep agreement, as if he regarded Shen Yuzhou as a kindred spirit.

Candle Dance listened on the side and rolled her eyes elegantly. Obviously, she was speechless at such self-deceiving explanations by humans.

Thus, the two casually discussed the issues of the next coordination and reached a consensus.

Recently, the Third Sanctuary has gradually transferred 2,000 elites from the "Southwest Region" as personnel for the establishment of an office.

Qiu Tu will give the Third Sanctuary three more days to initially establish offices in various cities and coordinate with the leadership of the Sixth and Seventh Sanctuaries.

Afterwards, Qiu Tu will officially step down from his position as leader of the Seventh Sanctuary and head to the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Region."

At that time, Shen Yuzhou and the others can continue fulfilling the agreement with the Sixth and Seventh Sanctuaries to properly construct the "overseas enclave."

In the meantime, no matter what difficulties Qiu Tu encounters while training "Candle Dance," he can seek solutions from Shen Yuzhou and the others.

After confirming the details of the forthcoming transaction, their hands clasped once again.

Their gesture seemed very much like a vile alliance.....

Releasing his hand, Qiu Tu chatted with Shen Yuzhou for a bit longer before seeing him off from the villa.

However, what Shen Yuzhou failed to see was..... as he walked away, Qiu Tu's face slowly became expressionless, his eyes icy as if looking at a dead man....

Seeing off Shen Yuzhou, Qiu Tu returned to the living room with "Candle Dance" in tow.

"Have a seat, Your Eminence Candle Dance," Qiu Tu gestured politely.

A very ordinary action and title, yet it made Candle Dance startle abruptly.

She, who stood behind Qiu Tu the whole time like his maid, hesitated briefly, then her face returned to its sly demeanor.

With a flicker, she appeared on the sofa opposite Qiu Tu, crossing her legs, casting a sidelong glance at him.

Her expression almost openly questioned, "I really want to see what trick you are up to."

Seeing her expression, Qiu Tu took out the Jade Ring with a smile, then asked, "Your Eminence, do you remember the promise we made that night?"

Qiu Tu referred to the first late-night secret meeting when they met.

That Jade Ring seemed to repress Candle Dance significantly. When Qiu Tu took it out, an unnatural expression subtly appeared on her face.

Nevertheless, she still nodded slightly and said, "I remember."

Qiu Tu toyed with the Jade Ring and then said, "At the time, I said I would rescue you from Shen Yuzhou and help you regain your freedom."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Candle Dance's breath clearly became heavier.

She just stared at Qiu Tu. Eyes even started to shimmer with a golden light.

After finishing speaking, Qiu Tu lowered his head and fiddled with the Jade Ring, saying no more.

Qiu Tu was not anxious, but Candle Dance was.

Looking at Qiu Tu, her pale gold eyes started flickering incessantly.

She restrained herself, held back, but couldn't....!

She glared at Qiu Tu and said, "Are you going to break the promise?"

Hearing her words, Qiu Tu raised his head, looked at "Candle Dance," and smiled as he said, "Look, Your Eminence, you're getting anxious again."

"We haven't even established our deal, what promise would be broken?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Candle Dance couldn't help but recall the content of their conversation that night.

At the time, although Qiu Tu promised her freedom, he also set a condition: that "Candle Dance" must swear by the "World Origin" to follow Qiu Tu for the next year.

This condition was not harsh. Even..... quite generous.

After all, other organizations in the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Region" that capture an undeveloped "Heavenly God Reincarnation" would either "consume" them or require the "Heavenly God Reincarnation" to work for them for 10-20 years.

One year is extremely short for a "Heavenly God" with a long lifespan, able to reincarnate multiple times.

Therefore, Candle Dance's first reaction was that Qiu Tu was deceitful, perhaps planning to assign her impossible tasks or force her to do things that would harm herself.

However, Qiu Tu directly denied Candle Dance's suspicion.

Thinking of this, Candle Dance's eyes rolled as she carefully considered the pros and cons of the deal.

Confirming that she might not be worse off than her current situation, she raised her hand, three fingers beside her face, and solemnly swore, "Let the 'World Origin' bear witness. I swear by my 'Heavenly God' positional frame to follow this man Qiu Tu before me for the next year."

"As long as the missions he assigns me are theoretically feasible, will not harm me, and do not force me to extend the contract, I will unconditionally accept his arrangements."

"If I break this oath, let my Divine Soul be extinguished!"

Accompanying Candle Dance's oath, with a thunderous crack, lightning tore through the dark sky, illuminating the drizzling sky instantly!

Sitting there, Qiu Tu, in the ethereal realm, felt like a mysterious bond was formed between him and "Candle Dance."

But when he tried to carefully comprehend it, that feeling swiftly vanished.
