Chapter 1075

"Then why was she screaming like that?"

"Sigh…" Zhao Chi sighed: "All bark and no bite. Gu Qing, go check on her and see if she's alright."

"Okay." Gu Qing hurried inside.

Tang Ruan and Qi Yue exchanged a glance; both stood outside the door, refusing to go in.

They knew Zhuang Ya might be too embarrassed to let too many people see her in her current state.

So they considerately waited outside the door.

By the time Gu Qing reached the bedside, Zhuang Ya had already recovered.

She felt very embarrassed seeing Gu Qing: "How did you get here? Where's Zhao Chi?"

Gu Qing laughed: "If I didn't come, I was afraid you'd stop breathing. Your little Zhao Chi is right behind me — here he is now."

Zhao Chi said: "Gu Qing thought I hit you. Tell me, am I wronged? I didn't even dare use any force, and she ended up like this anyway."

Zhuang Ya covered her face again: "Zhao Chi, stop talking."

Gu Qing laughed: "Looks like she's fine, but she needs my lord's comfort. I'll be off now — I won't be your third wheel."

With that, she closed the door and left.

Zhuang Ya threw her arms around him: "Am I really that useless? I have no way to serve you properly at all."

"How could that be? You've given me a wonderful surprise; my confidence is through the roof."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true."

"I'll do better next time. I didn't expect this little thing of yours to be so powerful."

"Little?"

"Little~ hee hee."

"Now you're talking tough. What was it you were saying just now? Want me to repeat it for you?"

"Ah? No, no, no, no — you're big, you're the biggest."

"Alright, Zhuang Ya, rest a little longer, then we have to set off. Are you still okay?"

"Of course I'm okay. I'm just a bit sensitive, not fragile. I'm fine now."

Zhao Chi laughed: "I notice your tone is very gentle now. Why? Conquered by me?"

Zhuang Ya nodded and said softly: "I was conquered by you long ago — you just didn't know. And just now I was conquered by you many more times; I can't even count them myself. I hope I can be conquered by you every day."

"You can't count them, but I can. Let me count them for you."

"Hmph, don't laugh at me."

Zhao Chi opened the skill interface.

【Skill】 Blissful Frenzy

【Partner】 Zhuang Ya 21

Her energy points are actually 21?

Am I seeing things? 21 points?

That's way too exaggerated.

Gu Qing and the others at the very beginning only had a maximum of 6 points.

This Zhuang Ya…

No wonder she was in that state just now.

Zhao Chi laughed: "Why do I feel you don't have a shred of pride left now?"

Zhuang Ya said weakly: "Pride is for outsiders, for enemies. With you, there's only tenderness."

"Ha, tenderness?"

"What? Am I not gentle?"

"Very gentle."

"Mm, exactly."

The two snuggled together and chatted idly.

Zhuang Ya suddenly said: "Didn't you need to practice your piloting art? Do you want to keep practicing now?"

"Alright, I'll keep training. But there's something I need to tell you."

"Mm, what is it?"

"From the moment I can truly control you, the two of us will be able to communicate through our minds. I'll give it a try in a bit."

"Communicate through our minds?"

"Right. It's much faster than speaking — almost instant transmission. You should be able to feel it in a moment."

"Okay, come in."

Zhao Chi, to spare her pride, deliberately said it was starting from this time.

In truth, he had already been able to hear her inner voice from the very first time.

Another 2 sessions of piloting art completed.

Zhao Chi could control Zhuang Ya's free movement, but the finer details were still very rough.

For example, it was very hard to control her fingers to perform delicate actions — that would require many more practice sessions.

But it didn't matter. Zhuang Ya could control her own body; Zhao Chi just needed to be able to hide inside.

"How is it? The feeling inside isn't bad, is it?"

"Mm, not bad."

"I've rested up too. Let's hurry and go — don't delay your business."

Zhao Chi had originally planned to go find Shopkeeper Wanyan quickly, but ended up wasting quite a bit of time at Zhuang Ya's place.

Though it couldn't really be called a waste.

Zhao Chi was still quite satisfied.

The two prepared to head out.

Zhao Chi looked at the bed with a bit of hesitation.

He had originally wanted to put the bedsheet into the system space, but Gu Qing had already made quite a mess of it...

There were still quite a few stocking outfits in the system space that hadn't been sold.

If he put it in the system space, it might dirty those stockings, right?

But if he folded them together, it might be fine.

Zhao Chi folded up Zhuang Ya's painting and placed it in a corner of the system space.

Zhuang Ya watched silently, and actually felt a bit proud.

Zhao Chi had no idea what she was being proud of.

But before she went out, she didn't have a shred of pride, and was even embarrassed to leave.

Zhao Chi comforted her: "It's fine. You listen to their voices every night, so letting them hear yours now isn't only fair, right?"

Zhuang Ya looked troubled: "But I just... said those things too. Wasn't that too shameless?"

"It's fine. Isn't Qiyue usually gentle and reserved? When you listen to her voice at night, is she still reserved?"

"... Qiyue was actually quite open at that time."

"Right? Let's go. We'll be doing this often from now on anyway."

"Mm..."

The two headed out.
