Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 498 - 318: Making the Same Mistake as the Cowherd (10,000 words for Monthly Ticket!)
Hearing Qiu Tu’s words, Larilo continued to absorb the aura emanating from Qiu Tu’s body while speaking nonchalantly, "Revenge? What revenge?"
"I’ve never been one to hold grudges, so why should I seek revenge?"
After speaking, she paused for a moment, then looked up at Qiu Tu and asked, "But... which enemy are you referring to?"
"Is it my sister? Is it Yan Chen? Is it Liu Xiongyuan, Ye Mingfeng, Wang Hu who attacked me? Is it the Political Department Investigators who captured my followers? Or... is it that man who sneezed at me after I fell, wandering in Xinjie City!"
By the end, the scarlet in Larilo’s eyes began to twinkle with a chilling light.
Qiu Tu: ...
This Heretic Goddess Girl doesn’t really hold grudges...
She’d probably have killed all those who offended her if she had the strength.
Muttering to himself inwardly, Qiu Tu then said quite directly, "Your Highness. I can’t really help you with the others... for the time being."

"But with Yan Chen... I do have a way."
While Qiu Tu spoke, Larilo finally finished absorbing the Cataclysmic Power of the ’Reproductive Path.’
She glanced at Qiu Tu, sized him up, and then uttered two words, "Just you?"
She took a seat, leaning on the altar, with her legs crossed, and then said, "Yan Chen is a Third Order Cataclysmic."
"Moreover, he absorbed some of my power and might have taken a big step toward the Fourth Order."
"With your strength around the Second Order, would you be able to avenge me?"
Qiu Tu’s current strength truly wasn’t as strong as Yan Chen’s. But... he wasn’t exactly weak either.
His Cataclysm Path was somewhat unique, changing according to his highest official rank.
As a Deputy Staff Head, he was a First-Order Catastropher. As Staff Head, a Peak First-Order. As a Deputy Department Head, a Second Order Cataclysmic. Now that he was a Department Head, of course, he was a Second-order Peak Cataclysmic.
Moreover, he had been training and learning martial arts with Tang Feifei during this period.
Although Tang Feifei drained him every night... in reality, before or after the draining, Tang Feifei actually taught him some useful stuff.
So, his combat ability, evasion, and footwork had all significantly improved.
And what was more important... Qiu Tu didn’t need to act personally! He had enforcers!
Thinking this way, he couldn’t help but say, "Although I’m only a Second Order Cataclysmic, I can command a Third Order one, can’t I?"
"I’m no match for Yan Chen. But what about a Third Order Cataclysmic?"
"What about a Third Order Cataclysmic with heavy firepower?"
"Could we kill Yan Chen then?"
Upon hearing Qiu Tu’s words, Larilo looked at him with a hint of surprise.
Instead of answering his question directly, she smirked mischievously and teased, "Qiu Tu~~ isn’t your human world’s political field supposed to be full of pretense and flattery, where one meddles with superiors and deceives subordinates, rising step by step?"
"How come with you... it’s all about fighting and killing?"
She tilted her head slightly, with a hint of reminiscence, and said, "I remember there’s a common saying in your human world: ’Jianghu isn’t about fighting and killing, but about human relations and worldliness,’ right?"
Hearing this, Qiu Tu chuckled and replied, "Your Highness, you’re not wrong. That’s indeed the path most people take."
"But... I’m different. My path is somewhat more special."
"I believe in proving oneself through strength! If those above me want me to climb, then certainly I’d happily do so. If they don’t... then slicing the ones blocking my way wouldn’t stop me from reaching the peak, right?"
Larilo, hearing this, looked at Qiu Tu, her mouth slightly agape.
She felt that compared to herself, Qiu Tu seemed more like an Evil God!
’What on earth... is his Path?’ she wondered.
’Destruction?’
Larilo felt a bit confused.
But... regardless of whether she understood Qiu Tu or not, since he was willing to avenge her, she would naturally cooperate.
So, she listened patiently to Qiu Tu’s "revenge" plan, ready to offer some of her own suggestions.
Qiu Tu’s revenge plan was simple: determine Yan Chen’s schedule in advance, then use the Lianzhen Special Combat Team to assassinate him.
The Lianzhen Special Combat Team had one Third Order Cataclysmic, four Second Order Cataclysmics. Add a sudden attack with heavy firepower, and it might just work to take Yan Chen down in one go.
But compared to Qiu Tu’s optimism, Larilo, who knew Yan Chen more deeply, shook her head slightly.
She believed the success rate of this plan was not high.
The main reason was not Qiu Tu’s plan or his strength, but... it was Yan Chen’s abilities.
Based on Larilo’s interactions with Yan Chen...
Like her, Third Order Yan Chen was also a ’Life’ pathway Cataclysmic. Those of the Life pathway inherently have stronger survival abilities.
One of Yan Chen’s abilities was ’Life Devouring,’ which allowed him to consume the power and life of other Cataclysmics of the same path.
The other was ’Turtle’s Breath,’ related to strength growth and survival.
Even though she had never seen the specific effects of this ability... judging from the exuberant vitality in Yan Chen’s body and his wrinkled, aged appearance, Larilo theorized:
The effect of this ability was likely to lock away vitality, causing one’s own vitality to become extremely weak, thereby reducing consumption.
In this way, the locked and stored vitality could be put to various uses—it could gradually enhance strength, or, in case of injury or danger, heal oneself.
So, Larilo thought... it would be very difficult to kill Yan Chen with just one Third Order Cataclysmic, four Second Order Cataclysmics, and heavy weaponry.
Of course, even so, she advised Qiu Tu to proceed.
