Chapter 1140

The caravan came to a stop.

All the carriages halted.

Tieshan stood up and roared at everyone: "Alright! Safe arrival! Those with missions, hand them in. Those who need to report, go report. Now get lost!"

Laughter erupted from the crowd.

Everyone was saying their goodbyes to one another.

Zhao Chi also said goodbye to Tieshan and Mo Ming separately.

The two of them gave Zhao Chi a very good feeling, and the subordinate heroes under them, Aike and Jiadan, also left him with a very good impression.

Click to teleport.

In an instant, Zhao Chi teleported back to his territory with the carriages.

At this point, the entire trade was thoroughly completed!

A bountiful harvest.

The moment Zhao Chi let out a breath of relief, Su Qin's voice came through his ear.

【Zhao Chi, are you back?】

【Huh? The message went through? Zhao Chi, you're back!!】

【You really are back, huh? Haha! Come find me when you're free~】

Her voice had originally been a tentative tone.

Clearly she had sent the message just to test it out.

The fact that the voice message went through meant Zhao Chi's position was already within the formation range of Snow Plain City.

Su Qin's voice immediately rose in pitch.

Full of surprise and excitement.

Zhao Chi teleported directly to Clear Bamboo Town.

It was early morning, and Clear Bamboo Town was at its busiest.

Everywhere were the figures of elves washing up and eating breakfast.

Humans and beastfolk lived and trained on the outskirts, forbidden from entering the inner area.

The surrounding elves all noticed Zhao Chi.

Many of them got a fright, but upon recognizing Zhao Chi, they greeted him one after another.

Their saluting postures were very standard, appearing somewhat overly solemn.

After all, these elves were not familiar with him; once they became familiar, they would likely relax.

For example, the women in his territory were exactly like this when they first arrived, but as time passed, they now greeted Zhao Chi with laughter and chatter.

They were just a step short of saying something like "my lord, come play."

But... it seemed this had something to do with the way Gu Qing taught them...

Zhao Chi also returned the elves' greeting: "Hello, where is Su Qin?"

The female elves pointed at the lord's residence beside them: "The lord is in the lord's residence, she hasn't gotten up yet."

Hasn't gotten up yet?

And she's already sending messages?

Presumably the first thing Su Qin did upon waking was send Zhao Chi a message to test whether he had returned.

After thanking them, Zhao Chi entered the lord's residence.

Su Qin, wearing loose pajamas, was washing up.

She gargled and spat out the toothpaste water, then started sending Zhao Chi another message.

Zhao Chi tiptoed up from behind and lifted her up in a hug.

"Eek—!"

Su Qin screamed in fright.

But upon realizing it was Zhao Chi, she reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Meanie, you scared me."

Zhao Chi set the towel and toothbrush in her hands aside, and carrying her, walked into the bedroom.

Su Qin laughed: "When did you get back?"

"One minute ago."

"When I sent the message?"

"Right, when you sent the message, I had just arrived at the territory."

Su Qin laughed: "Then my timing sending the message was pretty accurate. How come you came straight to find me the moment you got back? Did you miss me?"

Zhao Chi set her gently on the bed, then began undoing the buttons of her pajamas: "Miss you, very much."

"Hey, what's going on, the moment we meet you want to do it? Can't we talk first?"

"Do it or not?"

"Mm!"

"If you want to talk to me, you can talk too."

Su Qin pouted: "How could that be, at that time I simply couldn't speak, ah!"

Facts proved Su Qin was right.

She really couldn't speak.

This time Zhao Chi lasted a long time, and Su Qin held on for a long time as well.

It seemed Su Qin had recovered well these past few days; she was very much in the mood.

A long time later, Su Qin lay on Zhao Chi with her eyes closed, her hands gripping his arms, as if she had fallen asleep again.

Zhao Chi gently patted her back, waiting for her breathing to steady.

After a while longer, Su Qin recovered.

She half-opened her eyes, stared at Zhao Chi, and said softly, "You haven't touched a woman out there this whole time?"

Zhao Chi found it a little strange: "Why do you ask?"

Su Qin laughed and said, "I feel like you… you're so strong, as if you'd been starved for a long time."

Zhao Chi laughed and said, "How do you know it's not that I've just gotten stronger?"

"Really? Did you eat any random weird stuff out there?"

"What random weird stuff?"

Su Qin said, "I heard from other people that there's some kind of Red Mansion in Dark Night City? There are lots of women inside who specialize in seducing men, and all kinds of medicines that can boost a man's ability in that area."

Zhao Chi laughed and said, "Who did you hear that from? The news isn't exactly fake, actually."

Su Qin stroked Zhao Chi's chin: "Heard it from the teammates. So it's true? You went too?"
