Chapter 365
The relationship between Tang Feifei and Qiu Tu had always been one where the woman was strong and the man weak.
The crux of the matter was... Tang Feifei, whether in terms of family background, position, or strength, far surpassed Qiu Tu.
When she first met Qiu Tu, Tang Feifei was already a Deputy Director at the Xinjie City Investigation Bureau and was one of the future cores of the Fengtian Faction.
While Qiu Tu was just an ordinary agent, living at the bottom of society, serving diligently before and after Yan Chen.
The gap between the two was like that between the mud and the clouds.
So, Tang Feifei had always looked down on and taken care of Qiu Tu.
Even though Qiu Tu's status had been rising and his power growing, Tang Feifei still considered him in her heart as that "little man" who sought her approval.
This was also the reason she chose to come "rescue" Qiu Tu upon learning his mission might be dangerous—she believed in her heart that Qiu Tu needed her protection.
But now, Qiu Tu had thrown at her a few questions that she had never thought of... or even, upon hearing, felt a bit shocked.
In that instant, it was as if a barrier within her heart had been punctured...
For the first time, she truly considered the "little man" before her.
And at that moment, she found that she could neither understand nor see through Qiu Tu.
Her keen intuition told her that Qiu Tu might not be the way she had imagined...
Indeed, seeing that Tang Feifei had finally adjusted her mentality,
Qiu Tu did nothing but raise his hand, and the next second, there came a "boom" from deep underground!
The ground beneath their feet suddenly collapsed!
Tang Feifei was startled but seeing Qiu Tu's composed face, she also let go of her worries.
In this way, they fell freely downwards until they landed in an internal cavity and came to a slow stop!
Their feet touched the ground, and Tang Feifei opened her mouth to ask something, but at that moment, everything before her eyes became a blur!
The next second, Qiu Tu disappeared from the spot!
In the vast empty cavity, she was left alone!
Tang Feifei was shocked and reflexively looked around, trying to find Qiu Tu!
Then, in the next instant, she felt a tightness in her chest!
When she came to her senses, she found that Qiu Tu had appeared behind her at some point, holding her, with his hands climbing her peaks!
Her reflex was to strike back!
But then, in the next second, Qiu Tu silently vanished from the spot again!
This series of actions left Tang Feifei's usually impassive, wheat-colored face full of shock!
She was aware of Qiu Tu's strength.
Just... get by with it.
He couldn't possibly have the ghostly strength displayed before her!
Moreover! What's more important is!
In this world, all Cataclysmic abilities, High Ranking Martial Techniques, are driven by the Cataclysmic Power!
So, whenever abilities are used, or high-ranking Martial Techniques, traces are inevitably left!
And, the stronger the effect, the more obvious the traces left behind!
But... just now, Tang Feifei truly didn't feel a trace of the Cataclysmic Power's fluctuation!
There were only two possibilities. Either Qiu Tu's strength was so great that Tang Feifei could no longer comprehend it,
or... Qiu Tu didn't use the Cataclysmic Power at all.
Not using Cataclysmic Power could only mean the power of 'rules'.
And the 'rules' within the Boundless Heart Sea region...
Thinking of this, Tang Feifei's expression changed, and a term sprang to mind:
Domain Master!
Qiu Tu had actually become a Domain Master?!
Faced with this possibility, Tang Feifei was overwhelmed by a tidal wave of shock.
She remembered that not long ago, she invited Qiu Tu to join her team to help her become a Domain Master.
To be honest... her invitation to Qiu Tu was out of trust in his abilities, but there was also the idea of lifting him up—the Fengtian Faction even promised him the Deputy Director position.
But Qiu Tu had firmly rejected her, saying he wanted to compete with her fairly.
At that time, she was actually angry inside, feeling that Qiu Tu was a bit too ignorant of his limits.
After all, there were so many competitors, so many experts, so many resources being poured into it, with everyone fighting collectively.
How could Qiu Tu, a person with no foundation and average strength, possibly become a Domain Master?
So, in her heart, she planned to give Qiu Tu a way out after he had hit a few walls and then find a way to pull Qiu Tu back to her side.
This was also why she lied to her family, then chose to strive on her own.
But... how long has it been? Half a month? Qiu Tu had actually become a Domain Master?!
How did he do it?
While Tang Feifei was filled with astonishment, Qiu Tu once again appeared silently before her.
After laying out his cards in front of Tang Feifei and revealing his ability as a Domain Master, Qiu Tu looked at Tang Feifei and once again asked those three questions.
Do you want to become a Deputy Speaker?
Do you want to become a Domain Master?
Do you want to be promoted to a Fourth-Order Catastrophe-evolver?
This time, without any hesitation, Tang Feifei nodded her head and firmly said one word, "Yes."
So... Qiu Tu made a deal with her.
Qiu Tu would provide her with a Boundless Divine Crystal roughly the size of what was provided to Liu Xiongyuan when he advanced, to help her promote to a Pseudo Fourth-Order Catastrophic.
After Tang Feifei was promoted to a Fourth-Order Cataclysmic, she would publicly declare herself the Domain Master of Xinjie City Boundary Region, providing cover for Qiu Tu!
Afterward, with the identities of a Fourth-Order Catastrophe-evolver and Domain Master, Tang Feifei could have the Fengtian Faction maneuver her into becoming the Deputy Speaker of Dongye State!
