Chapter 1159

From the very beginning, Zhao Chi had noticed this little quirk of Su Qin's.

Whenever she was surprised, she always couldn't help blurting it out.

But when Su Qin used to curse, she would still cover her mouth.

But this time she completely couldn't be bothered.

"Zhao Chi! Zhao Chi! Look at my status! Is this normal?"

Su Qin, in a panic, sent over her status information.

Zhao Chi took a look—it was just the additional status from the Carefree Spring.

Zhao Chi had long been used to it, but Su Qin found it earth-shatteringly shocking.

Zhao Chi nodded: "Su Qin, calm down."

"Calm down? Right, calm... calm... Zhao Chi, this spring water of yours... is it really this strong?"

Su Qin found it hard to believe.

But Zhao Chi's slight smile instantly made her understand—this was the effect of this spring water.

Zhao Chi gently pinched her tender spot: "This is called the Carefree Spring. Remember to keep it secret."

Su Qin was pinched and slightly frowned: "Of course! I won't tell anyone!"

"Mm, you can bring your elves over too. I've already opened the permissions for you, but those male beastmen and humans shouldn't come."

"Elves can come too?"

"Yes, female elves only."

"I know, that's what I meant. But does this Carefree Spring water of yours have any energy or number limits? It won't eat into your quota or something, right? It won't affect you, will it?"

"Haha, no, you're overthinking it."

"Then, should I call them over now?"

"Sure, go ahead."

Su Qin said happily: "Then stay right here, don't move. I'll have them strip for you to see."

"Huh? That's not what I meant."

Su Qin said seriously: "This spring water's effects are so good, there's no harm in letting you see. I should give you some reward. Since you like this kind of thing, then this is what you'll get. Wait for me."

What kind of talk is that?

When did I ever say I liked this kind of thing?

But Zhao Chi really couldn't explain himself clearly.

Still, he immediately stopped Su Qin.

"Hey hey hey, don't rush. Put your clothes on first. You still have humans and beastmen in your territory."

"It's fine. The buildings in the center of my territory are very secure; they're not allowed to enter."

But Su Qin still obediently put her clothes back on.

Then teleported back.

10 minutes later, several hundred elves teleported over together.

Zhao Chi wasn't in the spring water—after all, at the start, he should still leave a decent impression on those female elves.

But those elves all looked at Zhao Chi with strange expressions.

Some were confused, some puzzled, some shy, and some disdainful.

Su Qin stood at the very front.

"Strip!"

At her command, those female elves' thin clothes were all stripped off.

No one knew exactly what Su Qin had just said to them.

These well-trained elven female archers all neatly and cleanly displayed themselves before Zhao Chi.

There were also differences in figure among the elves.

Some were full and bountiful, some flat and barren.

But their skin was all very good—smooth and delicate.

Long legs were also a racial advantage; they were all very beautiful.

The women of Taoyuan had also inherited these two traits from the elves.

Zhao Chi had indeed satisfied his eyes for once.

"Alright Su Qin, hurry and send them down."

"Okay."

At Su Qin's command again, all those female elves entered the Carefree Spring.

Suddenly, everywhere was filled with the delicate, whimpering sounds of the female elves.

Like voices deliberately squeezed out from pinched throats.

But this was actually the elves' natural voice.

Those female craftsmen were all stunned.

It was also their first time seeing such a scene on a large scale; they truly broadened their horizons along with Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi had looked, and he had listened.

Time to work.

He entered the Carefree Spring and embraced Su Qin: "In the future, you can bring them to this Taoyuan Village anytime. No need to be polite."

Su Qin nestled in his arms and nodded.

"Then I'll leave first. I need to go work too."

"Going to make that Mystic Maiden Battle Armor?"

"Yes, once I'm done I'll make a few sets for you too."

"No need, just give me one set. The others don't need any."

"It's fine, I can give each of your four elven heroines a set."

Su Qin called out loudly: "Li Qi, Li Hua, Li Mei, Li Zhu, come here!"

Very soon, from that patch of Bai Huahua's elves, four beautiful elven women swam over.

They all kept their heads lowered, looking very shy.

Their eyes flickered and dodged a little, but they held no hostility toward Zhao Chi at all; there was even a look of gratitude in each of them.

It must have been because he had given them full sets of fashion before, so they already had a very good impression of Zhao Chi.

Now with the added boost of the Carefree Spring, they were even more grateful.

Su Qin said: "Lord Zhao Chi is going to make new equipment for you again. Let's hurry and thank him."

Though the four elven women were shy, they all raised their heads.

They thanked him very earnestly.

Their voices were soft and gentle, like praying to the moon.

Zhao Chi smiled and said: "No need to thank me. You should hurry off and get some proper rest."

The four elven women bowed, then once again happily dove back into the spring.

"Are you going off to be busy?"

Zhao Chi nodded: "Yes, I'll see you later."

Su Qin bit her lip and said obediently: "Mm, go quickly. Don't waste your time."

The reluctance in her eyes was very thick.

Zhao Chi suddenly felt that his own guard had perhaps been a little too strong.

It's true one mustn't be without a wary heart toward others, but Su Qin had been tested.

Besides, she was already his family now.

Her conduct in everything was beyond reproach.

Her body, her feelings, the World Stone, gold coins, even her territory—she had given them all to Zhao Chi; it was only that Zhao Chi hadn't taken her territory.

It could be said that she truly was wholeheartedly devoted to him.

And he himself—could he perhaps trust her a little more?

Forget it. Give it to her.

Zhao Chi gave a soft sigh and opened the permissions to Penglai Village for her as well.

But limited to her alone.
