Chapter 1491

One was mature and alluring, the other cool and pretty.

The type that most men would glance at twice.

But the moment Zhao Chi saw them, his scalp went numb and he didn't want to look at all.

Shangguan Ting, Wei Li.

Wei Li was fine — last time it was purely a misunderstanding, and it had been cleared up right then and there. On top of that, he had given her 10 experience fruits, so there was no lingering grudge or barrier between them.

But Shangguan Ting was a different story.

Not only had the conflict not been resolved, it had actually gotten far worse.

Last time at the entrance of Li Ruanyu's office building, he had used 6 points of Bliss Frenzy energy on her in a row.

Shangguan Ting managed to endure the first one, but couldn't hold back the second, making Zhao Chi flee straight back to his territory.

Yet she had screamed at the busy entrance, drawing a large number of people from the Jade Squadron to witness the scene.

Although outsiders didn't know what Shangguan Ting was feeling, nor why she had screamed, it didn't really have that bad an impact on her.

But Shangguan Ting wouldn't see it that way.

From her perspective, she had shamelessly screamed in pleasure among the crowd for several seconds before remembering to teleport back to her territory.

Whether as a squadron captain or as an older single woman, it made her want to die of shame and rage.

Zhao Chi didn't know how much this had affected her, but he knew her eyes right now truly wanted to kill him.

Zhao Chi didn't hesitate.

He grabbed Su Qin directly and clicked return.

However...

Shangguan Ting moved faster.

Her arm rose, and Zhao Chi was immediately immobilized.

Fortunately Zhao Chi was standing on the steps — if she had frozen him while he was walking down, he would have definitely tumbled down the stairs and gotten himself badly bruised.

But Bliss Frenzy could still be used, and Zhao Chi fired it off instantly.

Unfortunately, Shangguan Ting seemed to have been prepared.

Her other hand had already risen, a glow swirling around her body, and the moment the Bliss Frenzy beam shot over, it was shattered.

Damn it...

Zhao Chi activated the energy again.

But it was shattered once more.

It seemed the energy shield around Shangguan Ting's body could immunize against outside skills.

This is really bad...

Su Qin was walking down beside Zhao Chi with her arm around his, and when she saw him stop, she stopped too.

But seeing Zhao Chi frozen stiff, staring at Shangguan Ting, who had her hand raised and was using a spiritual technique on him, her eyes ferociously fixed on him as if looking at the mortal enemy who had massacred her village, Su Qin couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled and shocked.

"Captain Shangguan, hello... what are you doing?"

Unlike Zhao Chi, who focused solely on development, Su Qin knew a great deal about all kinds of outside information, and naturally knew that the furious mature beauty before her was the captain of the Phantom Squadron.

Shangguan Ting didn't even look at Su Qin, just said coldly: "Get lost to the side, dare to talk nonsense and I'll deal with you too!"

After speaking, her other hand's fingers flew, directing Zhao Chi's movements like controlling a puppet.

Zhao Chi obeyed, turning with the motion of her fingers, walking up the stairs step by step.

Zhao Chi was greatly alarmed.

He now had no control over his body at all.

His body was frozen, and he couldn't use the system either.

He couldn't contact Li Ruanyu, nor use a voice transmission talisman to notify Gu Qing, and the clan summon had already been used today, so Gu Qing couldn't summon Zhao Chi back either.

She wouldn't really kill me, would she?

Although the World-Breaking Army was much better than the nobles, and far beyond what the alien races could compare to, fundamentally it still belonged to the law of the strong.

His own talent was invincible, but no one knew.

And Shangguan Ting was a powerful squadron captain — if she really killed him, she probably wouldn't have to pay too great a price, at least a price she could bear.

And a woman like her was too emotional.

Sometimes she truly didn't care about the consequences.

Damn.

What to do?

Su Qin was coldly driven off by Shangguan Ting, but she didn't take it to heart — what worried her was Zhao Chi.

Although anxious, she wasn't foolish.

After all, their statuses differed by several levels, and their strengths were worlds apart. And below there were several female lords like Wei Li — Su Qin didn't know them, but knew their strength certainly wasn't weak.

She was alone now and had to find someone to help.

The first candidate was the Zhao clan.

But Zhao clan leader Zhao Shizhang was only a vice squadron captain, and had only recently joined the World-Breaking Army. Although older in age, his seniority was shallow, so summoning him might not work.

So there was only one candidate left.

The gentle and beautiful Li Ruanyu.

However, Shangguan Ting hadn't ignored Su Qin. A woman who could become a squadron captain might be impulsive, might not care about consequences, but she wouldn't make such a huge mistake.

"Control that woman for me, push her up there!"

"Yes, Captain."

"Understood, Sister Shangguan."

Three female lords rushed straight up to restrain Su Qin, and Su Qin was restrained before she even had time to contact Li Ruanyu.

But she did not resist.

Resisting under these circumstances would be futile, and would only provoke conflict; she had no choice but to obediently allow herself to be captured.

Wei Li actually no longer held much grudge against Zhao Chi. She had originally wanted to persuade them, but seeing Shangguan Ting's expression, she knew this matter was probably far more serious than she had imagined.

So she said nothing and followed behind Shangguan Ting and the other three female lords, heading upstairs together.

Soon, Zhao Chi, Su Qin, and Shangguan Ting's group of five had all arrived on the second floor.

Shopkeeper Wanyan was nearby greeting customers and introducing the fashion items.

Seeing the group come up, she immediately went to meet them.

Upon seeing Shangguan Ting, her smile grew even brighter: "Captain Shangguan, you're here! The several sets of super-modified fashion items you ordered have already arrived…"

Halfway through her words, Shopkeeper Wanyan also sensed something was off.

"Captain Shangguan, what's going on with you all?"

Shangguan Ting said: "I'd like to borrow your office for a moment. I have some personal matters to handle. Is that convenient?"

Shopkeeper Wanyan naturally nodded.

"Of course, this way please."

Shopkeeper Wanyan did not know that Zhao Chi was the maker of those super-strong stockings; if she had known, she would certainly have helped Zhao Chi too.

But right now, to her, Zhao Chi was just a stranger-customer, and naturally not worth antagonizing a squadron leader over such a customer.

The office was not large.

Unlike the lavish decorative style outside, it had a rather warm and cozy atmosphere.

Besides the office desk and chairs, there was also a small single bed.

This office was more like Wanyan's private rest room.

But after all, the space was small, and it was still a bit cramped with several people inside.

"Wanyan, go attend to your business outside."

"Alright."

Shopkeeper Wanyan closed the door and left without the slightest hesitation, and the entire office immediately fell silent, as if cut off from the world.

Such good soundproofing?

At this moment, the hand Shangguan Ting had been using to control Zhao Chi's movements was now free, and she directly reached out to begin controlling Su Qin.

"Alright, you few go out as well. Wei Li, stay."

The other three female lords exchanged glances, said nothing more, and quickly left.

Wei Li was under immense pressure.

She wanted to leave along with them.
