Don't forget, when Qin Shuman first proposed the "Boundless Heart Sea Expansion Plan," her advice was: use evil gods to deal with evil gods. (Chapter 281)
And later, when Qiu Tu implemented the plan, his idea was also to trick these evil god sisters into his own camp, use "evil gods" to counter "evil gods." (Chapter 301)
Before, Qiu Tu had no choice: if he let Larilo go, she'd likely return to the Xinjie Territory and recover her powers.
So, he could only keep Larilo locked up and slowly hunt for intel and clues.
But now... everything has changed.
Qiu Tu has cut off Larilo's escape route, and all opportunities for her to recover her powers are firmly in his hands.
So, Qiu Tu can now give her a bit of freedom, negotiate terms, officially conquer her, then use evil gods against evil gods! Grab more benefits!
Thinking this, Qiu Tu quietly waited for Larilo to finish absorbing that fingernail-sized Boundless Divine Crystal.
