Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty!

Seeing the small figure at the doorway, Qiu Tu paused and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

He looked intently and then saw Fang Tangtang sitting next to the study, her frail back leaning against the icy wall of late autumn. Her hands were wrapped around her knees, her body slightly curled up, her head bowed, sleeping lightly...

The way she was, she must have come to the study, knocked without response, and could only wait silently by the door until she fell asleep.

It was deep autumn now, and there she was, sleeping on the floor leaning against the wall, unfazed by the cold...

Thinking this, Qiu Tu gently shook his head, a touch of tenderness flashing in his eyes.

Then he walked over, one hand around the girl's shoulder, the other supporting her bottom, and he lifted her in a princess carry.

The girl's body was lightweight, her chest holding a slight heaviness, but in front of Qiu Tu, a Second-order Peak, she was as light as a cloth doll.

Thus, Qiu Tu didn't even need to exert much effort as he carried Fang Tangtang toward the bedroom.

Perhaps smelling the comforting scent on Qiu Tu, Fang Tangtang slightly stirred and then, resting her head on Qiu Tu's shoulder, peacefully fell back to sleep...

Carrying Fang Tangtang to the bedroom, Qiu Tu laid her on the bed.

After covering her with a blanket, Qiu Tu quietly went to wash up.

While washing up, Qiu Tu also summarized the information and intelligence he had gathered during his first entry into the "Boundless Heart Sea."

First off, the most direct observation was... day and night seemed reversed in the Boundless Heart Sea.

Though it was clearly night in the real world, it was daytime in the Boundless Heart Sea, extraordinarily bright.

Next was... although the "Boundless Heart Sea" was defined as a "Spirit World," at least for this first entry, Qiu Tu didn't detect any difference from the real world.

Originally, he thought that as a world formed by the aggregation of spirits, the Boundless Heart Sea would certainly be bizarre, possibly experiencing some strange changes at any moment.

But... during the hours Qiu Tu investigated, nothing strange happened.

Had Qiu Tu not been certain he was in the "Boundless Heart Sea," he might have doubted he was merely teleported to another corner of the real world!

After all, the physical laws and ecological environments of both worlds were too consistent!

Lastly… although Qiu Tu had not found the central hub of the region... he wasn't clueless either.

He had been to the creek where Larilo bathed.

Qiu Tu had once visited that creek in Larilo's memories and remembered the direction of the central hub from there.

So... according to mathematical theory: two lines on the same plane, as long as they are not parallel, will inevitably intersect!

Thus, as long as the "Memory Fragment" brings him to another conspicuous region, especially one controlled by Larilo in the Xinjie Territory,

then theoretically, by sensing Larilo's directive toward the central hub, he could draw two intersecting lines.

And the intersecting point of these two lines would be... the location of the central hub!

This was why Qiu Tu that night wasn't worried about not obtaining the specific location of the central hub from the Cuiying Dragon.

Not for any other reason, but because he was confident in his heart!

Thinking this since he had finished washing up, Qiu Tu returned to the bedroom.

Inside, Fang Tangtang curled up under the blanket, her body trembling slightly.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu paused, then walked to the bed, flipped the blanket, and lay down.

Lying under the blanket, Qiu Tu reached out and pulled Fang Tangtang into his arms.

The girl's body seemed slightly feverish, her body trembling.

'Is she running a fever?'

Qiu Tu turned his head to look out the window.

It was now early winter; the leaves on the trees outside had long fallen, and the weather had thoroughly cooled down.

The girl probably caught a chill from sitting on the ground, leaning against the wall with too few clothes on.

But such a minor illness was nothing to worry about.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu held her in his arms, then slid his hand under her clothes, gently caressing her smooth back.

The power of the Cataclysmic Power, accompanied by Qiu Tu's motions, slowly entered the girl's body, warming her up.

Restoring the order of her body, returning it to a healthy state.

The "Order" Cataclysmic Power, after all, was amongst the most suitable for healing injuries and illnesses next to the "Life" Cataclysmic Power.

Although it might be slightly weaker and slower compared to the "Life" path, it was superior in its gentleness...

Thinking this, Qiu Tu, following his usual routine, arranged the "Loyalty Game" and then slowly fell asleep...

The night passed without words.

The next morning, Qiu Tu was awakened by a slight movement in his arms.

He slowly opened his eyes, then looked at the girl in his arms.

Her face now flush and eyes shimmering, she snuggled into his arms, looking up at him.

Although her expression was still quite immature... being naturally beguiling, her gaze was like a hook, compelling one to steal another glance... and then another...

As their eyes met, the girl shyly lowered her head.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu found it amusing, "What's the matter? We've slept together so many times, suddenly shy now?"

Hearing this, the girl quickly shook her head gently.

In front of Qiu Tu, she always seemed like a fragile little rabbit, she softly said, "No... it's just you...holding my...um…"

Qiu Tu hearing this, looked down.

Sure enough, his hand was on the body part closest to the girl's heart...
