Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty!

Chapter 93: Congratulations, You're a Girl Now

Qiu Tu was dumbfounded at the shocking scene before him. He stared at Shen Lingshuang's actions in disbelief and asked, "What... are you doing?"

Shen Lingshuang, too engrossed in her mischievous act, hadn't noticed anyone entering the room. Qiu Tu's voice startled her, and she clutched her chest, turning around with a flushed face to face Qiu Tu. "When did you get back?"

Qiu Tu: ...

Is that really the point here? he thought. Shaking his head inwardly, he replied, "Just now. But... I saw everything."

Shen Lingshuang's face turned as red as an apple. She glared at Qiu Tu with a mix of embarrassment and defiance, then surprisingly resumed stuffing tissues into her bra, clearly irritated. Her movements were so exaggerated that Qiu Tu could even catch a glimpse of her petite figure.

Qiu Tu stroked his chin, quietly enjoying the view, while curiously asking, "What exactly are you doing?"

"Putting on underwear! What else?" Shen Lingshuang retorted angrily. "What? You don't wear underwear when you go out?"

Qiu Tu replied casually, "First, I definitely don't wear that kind of underwear. And second... even if someone does wear underwear, they don't stuff it with so much tissue, do they?"

"You... you don't understand a thing! I'm doing this to protect my chest!" Shen Lingshuang's face was red enough to steam, but despite her embarrassment, she pretended to be nonchalant and pulled her T-shirt down.

To be honest, after adding some padding, Shen Lingshuang did look a bit more "well-endowed."

Noticing Qiu Tu's odd expression, Shen Lingshuang stood up, clenched her fists, and with a red face, headed for the bathroom. As she passed Qiu Tu, she even deliberately bumped him with her chest, leaving Qiu Tu both amused and speechless.

Despite her tough act, as soon as she was inside the bathroom, Shen Lingshuang couldn't hold back any longer. She covered her face with her hands, feeling utterly defeated.

For the past few days, she had been eating and sleeping with Qiu Tu, yet he hadn't made a single move on her. She had even started doubting her own attractiveness!

So today, taking advantage of a shopping trip to Xiafang Street, she secretly bought a few pieces of sexy lingerie, planning to seduce Qiu Tu.

Worried that her undeveloped figure might not catch Qiu Tu's eye, she had decided to "enhance" herself a bit. But before she could even begin her seduction, her little secret had been exposed.

"Ugh...!" The more Shen Lingshuang thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She covered her mouth and started to sob quietly.

She kept her mouth covered to prevent Qiu Tu outside from hearing and embarrassing herself further.

Meanwhile, outside the bathroom, Qiu Tu didn't find the situation embarrassing at all; in fact, he found it rather amusing.

With a mischievous glint in his eye, he walked over to the bathroom door and knocked gently. "Actually... you don't need to pad it. I like you just the way you are."

Inside the bathroom, Shen Lingshuang's eyes reddened as she pouted.

Qiu Tu added, "After all, small is cute too."

Shen Lingshuang nearly exploded with anger.

She yanked open the bathroom door, glaring at Qiu Tu. "Who are you calling small and cute?! Your whole family is cute!"

With that, she stomped back to the bedroom, threw herself onto the bed, and pulled the blanket over her head, refusing to talk to Qiu Tu.

Seeing her puffed-up expression, Qiu Tu could hardly keep the smile off his face.

After a long day of work, teasing the adorable Shen Lingshuang felt like a delightful break.

He took off his uniform jacket, washed up in the bathroom, and then lay down next to Shen Lingshuang on the bed.

She was still hiding under the blanket, ignoring him.

Qiu Tu didn't mind. He simply hugged her, starting to touch her through the blanket.

At first, Shen Lingshuang tried to hold out, but after a minute, she couldn't take it anymore. She threw off the blanket and glared at Qiu Tu, her face flushed. "What are you doing?!"

Qiu Tu looked at her sincerely. "Just proving to you that I really do like your… figure"

Hearing Qiu Tu's cheeky words, Shen Lingshuang's face turned an even deeper shade of red, as if blood would start dripping any second. She grabbed the blanket and playfully hit Qiu Tu a few times, muttering in embarrassment, "You don't need to prove anything! Stop messing around!"

Qiu Tu kept smiling at her.

Feeling his gaze, Shen Lingshuang's head seemed to steam with heat. She grumpily pulled the blanket over herself again, resigning to her fate.

Seeing her reaction, Qiu Tu leaned in closer.

Before long, the padded bra was tossed aside, and he whispered, "Don't use these anymore. It's not good for your health."

"If you think you're too small, I can help you out. I know a traditional method for enhancing the bust."

From under the blanket, Shen Lingshuang's muffled voice came out, "I'll kill you when you fall asleep."

But her words sounded more like a pout than a threat...

Qiu Tu's smile only grew brighter.

PS: If you miss the opportunity, the girl might not think you're a gentleman, but rather question her own attractiveness and your feelings for her...

[9 Days Until the Conclusion of the Yin Caimei Case]

...

The next morning, as soon as Qiu Tu opened his eyes, he found Shen Lingshuang's adorable face right in front of him.

She looked serious as she said, "Congratulations, the surgery was a success. You're officially a girl now."

Qiu Tu lazily pulled her into his arms and replied, "Sorry, the surgery failed. I can still feel it. Wanna check?"

Shen Lingshuang's joke backfired, leaving her blushing furiously. She curled up in Qiu Tu's chest like a little kitten.

Listening to Qiu Tu's strong heartbeat, she felt an inexplicable sense of comfort...

After enjoying the peaceful morning for a while, Qiu Tu unusually decided to go downstairs and buy breakfast.

While eating, he took the opportunity to review the results of the "Loyalty Game" from the previous night.

Despite the playful evening with Shen Lingshuang, his disciplined habits led him to set up the "Loyalty Game" before bed.

This time, he even switched the participants in the games: having Eagle fight Wang Xi in the "Combat Game" and letting A Tai play the "Salvage Game."

He intended to test whether different participants would affect the game process and the rewards obtained.

Thinking along these lines, Qiu Tu first opened the "Combat Game." As he mentally clicked on it, the game's results screen appeared before him. Compared to A Tai's previous battles, the fight between Eagle and Wang Xi was noticeably more brutal: Eagle's pixelated character wielded a bicycle chain, his entire body covered in blood and wounds. Meanwhile, Wang Xi's pixel character had switched to a kitchen knife, and although Eagle was badly injured, Wang Xi was in significantly better shape, with hardly any injuries.

This discovery caused Qiu Tu's heart to skip a beat—had the game failed this time?

He quickly checked the game's notifications. Fortunately, Eagle had ultimately won the battle: he had wrapped the bicycle chain around Wang Xi's neck, strangling him until Wang Xi's face turned blue.

Seeing Eagle's hard-fought victory, Qiu Tu speculated that the combat power in the "Combat Game" might be linked to the participants' real-life strength. Since his subordinates were currently ordinary people, they were all relying on their "hand-to-hand combat abilities." However, if any of his subordinates were to become Cataclysm Awakened in the future, their cataclysmic abilities might become the key to victory in these confrontations.

With this in mind, Qiu Tu mentally clicked to see what Eagle had earned from his victory.

As he did, several prompts appeared in front of him:

[Loyalty Game Victory, Rewards Acquired.]

[Wang Xi Loyalty +2]

[Wang Xi Memory Fragment (Small) +1]

Hmm? Another memory fragment?

Previously, Qiu Tu had obtained a "tiny" memory fragment from Wang Xi, which had provided a lot of useful information. Now, with a "small" fragment in hand, he was eager to see what interesting scenes it might reveal.

Curious, Qiu Tu clicked on the memory fragment with his mind.

In the blink of an eye, the scene around him changed, and Qiu Tu found himself in a new room. This room was far more luxurious than the last one he had seen: the floor was covered with a woolen carpet, leather sofas were arranged around, and even the walls were adorned with paintings.

The man he had seen before—the one in the black suit, with bright red hair, wearing a clown mask—was sitting casually on one of the leather sofas, talking to "Qiu Tu."

"I told you, didn't I? There's no way we'd get caught!" The masked man exclaimed. "Those idiot agents could never catch us! So, you being scared all the time is just paranoia!"

He tossed a small booklet to "Qiu Tu." "Now that we've got the ingredients, it's time to start making the potions!"

"This booklet contains the recipes for those potions! You have one month to get them all done!"

"Qiu Tu" accepted the booklet and began flipping through it, while the masked man continued to speak with a crazed fervor, "Once we have these potions, I can establish a foothold in New Realm City! Make the 'God' feel 'joy!' Then the 'God' will grant me even more power!"

As he spoke, a mysterious power seemed to emanate from the masked man, sweeping over "Qiu Tu." "Qiu Tu" felt his body tremble and shrink back slightly, experiencing a mix of excitement and fear...

The memory ended with the masked man turning his head to stare at Qiu Tu, his crimson eyes and twisted behavior adding a sinister edge to the scene...

...

"Qiu Tu? Qiu Tu?!"

Qiu Tu snapped out of his thoughts at the sound of someone calling his name. He took a deep breath and looked into the concerned face of Shen Lingshuang, who was now right in front of him.

"What's wrong?" Qiu Tu asked.

Shen Lingshuang looked worried as she explained, "You suddenly froze while eating and became stiff, staring blankly. I was scared you might be sick... or experiencing some aftereffect from your Cataclysm Awakening?"

Qiu Tu gradually shook off the lingering effects of the memory and patted Shen Lingshuang on the head with a smile. "I'm fine, just zoned out for a moment."

Shen Lingshuang blushed and swatted his hand away. "Get off, you pervert!"

Ever since she was caught changing into her new lingerie by Qiu Tu last night, his behavior had become increasingly brazen. It was driving her crazy!

As Qiu Tu playfully bantered with Shen Lingshuang, he also pondered the information he had just obtained from the memory fragment.

First, he deduced that this memory fragment likely reflected events from the past month, as it clearly depicted the aftermath of Wang Xi and the masked man's robbery of the potion shop.

What surprised Qiu Tu was that the robbery wasn't motivated by money but by the need to brew potions.

But... what were these potions for? Why would they cause the "God" to feel joy? And why did they excite the masked man so much?

Pondering these questions, Qiu Tu's gaze settled on Shen Lingshuang...
