Chapter 1070

Return to the territory.

Laughter immediately reached his ears.

Gu Qing and the others were soaking in the Carefree Spring, giggling and laughing, very happy.

Seeing Zhao Chi, they all fluttered over, trembling with excitement.

Fair and tender.

Zhuang Ya stood at the back, hesitated a moment, then also bounced over with two weighty 86Ds.

"My lord, you're back? How was it outside?" Gu Qing said with a smile.

Zhao Chi briefly explained the situation outside, especially the matter concerning Shopkeeper Wanyan.

"What was your impression of Shopkeeper Wanyan before?"

Zhao Chi wanted to hear Gu Qing's opinion—she had 7 points of Intelligence, so her perception and intuition were quite good.

Moreover, a woman looking at a woman might be more objective than a man.

"Hmm…" Gu Qing recalled: "That female shopkeeper was fairly sincere, and she valued you highly. Her looks weren't bad, her figure passed muster too, just a little older."

Zhao Chi cut in: "I'm talking about her character. Do you feel she's trustworthy?"

Gu Qing smiled:

"I know, I was just about to say that.

"Those few transactions were all very smooth, and during the last one she even gave you quite a few extra gold coins, and reminded you there was danger.

"From the feel of it, I think she really can be trusted—at least compared to other people, you can trust her to a limited degree.

"But it's also been many days since we've had any contact with her, so it's right for you to be careful, my lord.

"Do you need me to go out?"

Zhao Chi nodded repeatedly.

Since Gu Qing said so too, he'd try reaching out to Shopkeeper Wanyan.

"Right, this time you're coming out with me."

"Really!?" Gu Qing's voice rose 3 notches, startling even Tang Ruan's big Es into trembling.

Zhao Chi laughed: "What, you want to go out that badly?"

Gu Qing smiled: "Of course, being able to go out and look around—I'd definitely want to. But I know the mission comes first, so don't worry."

Zhao Chi said: "I understand, but this time it's not just you—all of you are coming out with me."

"All of us?" Gu Qing's voice rose even higher, her expression clearly even more delighted.

This time Tang Ruan wasn't startled, but she had already jumped up happily, her two big Es flinging about even more ridiculously.

"Really, my lord? We can go too?"

Qi Yue was much more composed.

But her fingers were laced together in front of her chest, clearly very happy too.

Zhuang Ya was rather calmer—she'd only just been born not long ago, so her longing for the outside world wasn't that strong, but she was still delighted.

Zhao Chi hadn't originally wanted to let them go out.

He was afraid they'd draw too much attention.

But seeing how happy they were now, he instead felt it might be good to let them go out and see for themselves.

At worst, they'd go fully armed, covering their figures and faces.

"That's right, all four of you are coming out with me, but you have to wear full armor, cloaks, and face masks."

"No problem, I'll go get them."

Qi Yue, barefoot, sprinted toward the tailor shop.

Like a gust of wind, she immediately came back carrying all the cloaks and face masks.

Gu Qing spat out silk thread: "Then I'll stick them on for everyone, guaranteed they won't fall off easily."

Tang Ruan was a little nervous now: "What do we need to watch out for out there? I won't cause you trouble, will I?"

Zhao Chi patted her head: "Relax, this Dark Night City allows me to bring a small number of people out. You're so well-behaved, you definitely won't cause me trouble."

"Oh… hehe."

Tang Ruan laughed softly.

Zhao Chi looked toward Zhuang Ya.

Zhuang Ya froze, her hands covering her two tender spots.

But very quickly, she lowered her hands again.

Zhao Chi wasn't anyone else—let him look if he wanted to.

My figure's great, of course he'd be drawn to it.

Thinking this, Zhuang Ya stood even more upright.

Zhao Chi smiled: "Zhuang Ya, before we go out, I need to activate your body first. We probably won't need it, but just in case, I'll go in and familiarize myself with your body first."

"Wh… what? You're… serious?" Zhuang Ya was stunned.

She looked at Gu Qing and the others, only to find they showed no reaction at all.

Zhuang Ya blushed and huffed softly: "It's only natural you'd be interested in me, I don't mind either. It's just—isn't it a bit too sudden? Bringing this up out of nowhere…I haven't had any mental preparation at all. How about we wait until tonight…you open my body tonight. You couldn't have been so attracted to me that you can't hold back already, could you?"

Gu Qing let out a laugh.

Then tapped Zhuang Ya's forehead.

"What are you thinking? My lord means the body piloting technique, not sleeping with you."

"Huh!?" Zhuang Ya stared at Gu Qing in astonishment.

Gu Qing covered her mouth and giggled.

Tang Ruan pressed her lips together; Qi Yue smiled.

Zhuang Ya's cheeks flushed a deep red.

Gu Qing, while pulling threads, laughed and said: "It's fine, I can understand you too. After all, every day our voices are so loud—if you thought about it, it would be understandable, right?"

Zhuang Ya denied it: "I'm not thinking about anything, don't talk nonsense."

Zhao Chi laughed and said: "It's my fault for not explaining clearly, don't blame Zhuang Ya. Zhuang Ya, you lie down on the stone platform. Because it's your first time piloting, I can't control you. You'd best stay lying still—that's the safest."

"Fine." Zhuang Ya immediately walked away quickly, as if wanting to flee the place.

Just like before.

Zhao Chi, too, only managed to slightly control Zhuang Ya's body on the second attempt.

But inside her body, Zhao Chi learned for the first time what a sensitive woman was.

From the moment Zhao Chi entered her body, her various inner thoughts never stopped.

【Oh no, oh no, oh no】

【Why would I think of that kind of thing?】

【What do I do now?】

【Tang Ruan and Qi Yue won't laugh at me, will they? I'm still the big sister…】

【What will little Zhao Chi think?】

【Will he think I'm hinting at him?】

【Aiya!】

【If only I'd thought it through more back then. Even though he's no stranger to women, he's not some pervert—how could he casually say something like that to me?】

【I really didn't use my brain. I need to be more careful in the future】

【It's his fault too, for not being clearer. What was that about 'opening up my body'? And saying he needed to get familiar with my body…】

【That easily leads one's thoughts astray. How else would you 'open it up'? How else would you 'get familiar'? Wouldn't it just be using his big… stick】

【No!】

【Can't blame him either—it's my own misunderstanding. 'Opening up' is a perfectly normal phrase; I'm the one with the dirty mind】

【No, I still have to blame him. Who told him to tire out Gu Qing and the others every single night, making them scream and shout? That's why I ended up thinking dirty thoughts】

【No, little Zhao Chi is their man. Doing that sort of thing at night is perfectly normal. And the fact that they scream and shout means he's putting in the effort—that's a good man】

【Didn't expect that little guy to be quite something】

【Will I also be as loud as Gu Qing and the others afterward?】

【Aiya, why am I thinking about this kind of thing again?】

【Looks like it's still my fault】

【No, it's still his fault】
