Chapter 1327

That woman was still sitting in the chair, her back to this side.

Zhao Chi said, "She doesn't seem to care about this matter, so she probably doesn't really need it. I've already bought it—this Expansion Stone is mine now. There's no question of giving or not giving; the only question is whether I'm willing to sell."

"But…"

The staff member looked at the woman, then at Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi asked, "Is this your work mistake?"

The staff member quickly shook his head. "No, of course not."

"Then why are you the one coming to find me?"

"I just came to help ask around."

"Fine, you've finished asking now. I'm leaving."

"But, but she's Captain Shangguan…"

"Oh, a captain, is she?"

"Yes, yes." The staff member nodded hurriedly.

"A captain should understand this principle even better. Just tell her that. I'm leaving." Zhao Chi walked straight out the door.

At that moment, the woman finally stood up.

"I can understand, but it seems you haven't."

Zhao Chi and the staff member both turned their heads.

Her features were very delicate.

Her face was clean, her makeup just right.

Her lips were very red, a shade lighter than the red after Qi Yue had drained Zhao Chi, but it didn't look jarring.

Her skin was very white, without a single flaw.

She was good-looking—base score of 7.

However… she was pretty, sure, but there was always a sense of sharpness about her.

Not a sharp look.

Her appearance was fine.

It was her temperament that was sharp.

Like a very picky HR manager.

Her brows were slightly furrowed, her face full of displeasure.

Apart from her expression, she carried an aura very similar to Li Ruanyu's.

It was a feeling of confidence.

A bit like Zhuang Ya and Li Ruanyu combined.

Zhao Chi had never heard of her, but from her appearance he could tell she really did have the bearing of a captain.

Sharp and confident…

Definitely a woman who wouldn't be easy to deal with.

But so what?

It wasn't Zhao Chi who needed something from her now.

It was she who needed something from Zhao Chi. Was that the attitude of someone asking a favor?

The woman strolled over unhurriedly.

Her high heels clicked against the floor of the trading hall, letting out crisp tap-tap sounds.

Tap!

Tap!

Zhao Chi noticed the stockings on her legs…

They were actually the same ones he had made before.

The batch sold to Shopkeeper Wanyan.

Actually, her legs weren't bad.

But compared to Gu Qing and the others, they fell a little short.

If she put on about 3 more kilograms, her legs would be a bit fuller—maybe then she could match Gu Qing and the others.

"You'd better raise your gaze."

A commanding tone.

Zhao Chi raised his gaze.

Slim waist.

Flat chest.

That flat?

Seeing that, Zhao Chi felt too embarrassed to keep looking.

He simply raised his head and met her eyes.

Zhao Chi said, "Hello."

"Hmph~" The woman gave a cold laugh. "Let me introduce myself. I am Shangguan Ting, captain of the Phantom Squad of the White Tiger Regiment!"

Zhao Chi: "…"

Shangguan Ting: "…"

Zhao Chi: "…Oh."

Zhao Chi looked at her, not knowing what to say.

White Tiger Regiment, Phantom Squadron...

Never heard of them.

But judging from the name, they should be on the same level as Li Ruanyu?

So that staff member was a little nervous?

But...

Why is she here all by herself?

No guards or anything?

Is it because she's safe inside Horn Cliff Town, so she doesn't need to bring guards?

Or is she very confident in her own strength?

Zhao Chi silently watched her, analyzing nonstop.

But in Shangguan Ting's eyes, Zhao Chi showed no reaction at all, and her frown deepened.

Soon, she revealed an understanding expression.

Shangguan Ting: "... What? You got scared?"

Zhao Chi let out a laugh and said teasingly, "Did you just turn 18?"

But she didn't seem to catch the meaning.

Instead, she was stunned for a moment.

Her brow relaxed a little: "What do you mean by that? Does my makeup today make me look that young?"

Zhao Chi: "..."

Shangguan Ting: "I need a Race Outfit Expansion Stone, because my race outfits have been maxed out for a long time. If you want to sell, I can buy it from you for 1,800 gold coins — a full 100 gold coins extra. How about it?"

Zhao Chi: "What race outfits do you have?"

"That's none of your business."

"Oh."

Zhao Chi turned and walked away.

"Hold it! Who are you? State your name!"

Zhao Chi quickly walked out of the exchange.

Shangguan Ting immediately chased after him: "Hold it, I won't allow you to teleport right now! Wait a moment, wait for me! How about this — I really do need this Outfit Expansion Stone, you name your price."

Zhao Chi stopped and looked at her: "If you'd said it like that from the start, we might have already reached a deal."
