Chapter 1047

Su Qin smiled: "Good, come often from now on—once they get used to you, you won't make them nervous."

Bring the meals into the lord's house.

Zhao Chi carefully recounted to Su Qin everything Li Ruanyu had just said.

Su Qin smiled: "Sure, wherever you go, I go—I just need to follow you, anywhere's fine."

Zhao Chi nodded: "But Instructor Li will assign you to teams with others to train and improve teamwork."

"Won't you join the team too?"

"I'll mostly be busy on my own, but during combat, I'll be with you."

Su Qin nodded: "Mm, alright!"

Zhao Chi said: "In four days, I'll be leaving with Instructor Li's caravan— we'll be temporarily separated; train hard."

Su Qin smiled: "I know, I'm not a child—I'm a year older than you, I should be the one warning you to be careful and not act rashly."

"Haha, fine."

"How many days until you come back?"

"About a week."

"Oh, that's not too long—will you miss me?"

"... Yes."

"Then that's good."

Sated and full, they returned to the domain.

Li Ruanyu's caravan departs in four days; during this time, Zhao Chi must make more silk stockings.

And he also needs to make some ultra-bright fire oil, for the sake of cover.

After all, that's the excuse he gave Li Ruanyu.

The combined caravan from Stream Village and South Forest Village has paused again—they're applying for the necessary qualifications and should get them approved in a few days.

In Taoyuan Village.

Development here has slowed.

This place is merely a facade domain.

Built to standard medium-village specifications.

All buildings, workshops, defense towers, and infrastructure are sized for a medium village.

Several female artisans work here too.

After all, fewer people here mean more spacious work areas.

And it's quieter here—workers can focus better, so many artisans who prefer peace work here.

Like going to school alone on a weekend, reviewing in an empty classroom.

Or going to the office on a weekend, working in an empty office.

It feels very different.

There's a sense of greater freedom.

Wherever you work, you're still working—so they choose their work location by preference.

The 22 fields are currently planted with pasture grass; it's uncertain if they'll yield before winter.

Even if they don't yield in time, it doesn't matter—it's just for show.

Though Poshijun seems decent enough, Zhao Chi has only just arrived and must still be cautious.

Only after gradually understanding Poshijun will Zhao Chi dare to relax.

But for now, he must still conceal himself.

In Penglai Village.

This place is much livelier.

Laughter and joy constantly rise from the southern Xiao Yao Spring.

Accompanied by splashing and playfulness.

After all, comfort and mood bonuses are extremely high—it would be abnormal not to be happy.

Sixty female ratfolk are working hard.

They've already soaked in their own private Xiao Yao Springs.

All bonuses are fully applied to them.

From the moment they entered, their squeaking hasn't stopped.

After soaking, they all excitedly spun around in place.

They felt full of energy, eager to do something.

Gu Yan directed them, lining up all the ratfolk and having them dig trenches in unison.

Their claws are sharp—they dig tunnels quickly and tilling land is no problem.

Just thirty minutes is enough for these sixty ratfolk to turn over a plot of land.

The soil becomes loose, and stones, tree roots, and other debris are all turned up.

The flower spirits fly low behind them.

Dodging the dirt thrown up by the ratfolk, they continuously gather up stones and debris and clear them away.

Then Gu Yan and the others spend another thirty minutes leveling the land again—once done, a new field is ready.

Only one hour total.

In just two days, forty brand-new fields have been tilled—this equals five days' previous workload, which previously required Fang Li to assign extra hands to achieve.

Quite impressive.

After greeting Gu Qing and the others, Zhao Chi dove into Qi Yue's body and began mass-producing stockings.

It was 9:38 PM.

Zhao Chi stood silently outside the Lord's House of Peach Blossom Village.

Beside him were four female heroes: Gu Qing, Tang Ruan, Qi Yue, and Zhuang Ya.

They too gazed silently at the ground.

Soon, 9:41 PM arrived.

The muddy ground suddenly began to bulge.

This was a common sight, but today was somewhat different.

Today, it was not ten mounds of earth rising, but forty.

Immediately, forty jade arms stained with mud reached out, followed by beautiful women of different appearances but all stunningly gorgeous breaking through the soil.

Their eyes were extremely sharp.

Their delicate faces carried a killing intent.

The moment they emerged from the earth, they immediately crouched low, quickly scanned the surroundings, and assumed combat stances.

Zhao Chi hurriedly comforted them: "Don't be nervous, the war is over, everyone is safe."

Gu Qing stepped forward quickly: "Sisters, relax, it's over."

Tang Ruan and Qi Yue also ran up to comfort them.

These forty women were the female soldiers who had died during the battle with Zhao Ji earlier.

After nearly a month, they had all been resurrected.

Hearing Zhao Chi's command and the comfort from Gu Qing and the others, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Their expressions turned to astonishment.

"Oh~ Is this Bone-Collecting Resurrection? It feels like a dream."

"Yes, like sleeping and just waking up."

"Me too, I felt like I was still fighting just now, and in the blink of an eye, more than twenty days have passed?"

"Those blood clans were truly detestable, what happened later?"

"Did we achieve a great victory?"

Zhao Chi nodded: "That's right, we achieved a great victory, we won!"

Gu Qing smiled: "Now our territory is completely different from before, come with me quickly, let's go to Penglai Village."

Everyone arrived at Penglai Village.

These forty female soldiers were firmly captivated by the scene before them.

The construction here had surpassed Peach Blossom Village, becoming Zhao Chi's true main territory.
