Chapter 1494

Her tone had actually softened by half.

She had completely lost that vicious attitude from before, and instead acted like a woman who wanted to apologize but couldn't bring herself to lower her pride.

As long as Zhao Chi gave her a reason, she seemed ready to forgive him on the spot—even if the reason was utterly unreliable.

Su Qin was completely stunned.

Could this Shangguan Ting really be a lunatic?

How did her attitude change so fast?

She was just furious enough to die a moment ago, and now she's actually… goddamn being a little shy?

What is that old woman being shy about?

Because of the angle, Su Qin was facing Shangguan Ting and immobilized, so she had no idea what had happened between Zhao Chi and Wei Li.

But she knew Zhao Chi was safe for now, and she breathed a sigh of relief inside.

Zhao Chi also breathed a sigh of relief.

His gamble really paid off.

Wei Li over there was already kissing him—what the hell, that's way too absurd.

He didn't expect it would work on Shangguan Ting too.

After all, Shangguan Ting should be close to thirty years old.

A woman of that age is long past the naive innocence of a young girl—just look at how she's still firmly keeping hold of Zhao Chi, and that alone proves the point.

Although they still care about appearances, they weigh benefits far more heavily.

But as an older single woman, Shangguan Ting is indeed more mature inside, yet at the same time, she longs and yearns even more for a relationship—for a suitable man.

Especially a young, handsome man like Zhao Chi, full of vigor and drive, and on top of that, that impressively powerful big weapon—her attraction to him was practically increasing exponentially.

Although his gamble had paid off, Zhao Chi's hatred was still surging like a tidal wave.

But Shangguan Ting still hadn't let go, so Zhao Chi could only swallow his fury and explain once more.

He didn't expect Shangguan Ting to raise an eyebrow.

"I don't wanna hear it, I don't wanna hear it."

Zhao Chi was grinding his teeth to the point of breaking.

You fucking told me to explain, and now you won't listen? And you're fucking acting cute now?

Who the fuck do you think you are, acting cute with me? Are you really a lunatic?

Zhao Chi cursed wildly inside, but on his lips he still held back the rage.

"Captain Shangguan, what happened between us really is a misunderstanding. I never expected things would turn out like this, but it's fine—let's settle this completely today, alright?"

Shangguan Ting nodded, and even revealed a smile.

"It's fine that it's fine… but…"

"But what? Just say it."

Shangguan Ting gave a charming smile: "What's the name of that move you used on me earlier?"

"…I can't say that."

Zhao Chi considered for a moment—some things still had to be kept hidden.

Of course, if she absolutely insisted on pressing the matter, there'd be no harm in telling her.

But Shangguan Ting didn't press further; instead, she nodded considerately: "Alright, but you said that skill is an enhancement-type skill?"

"Yes! An enhancement-type skill."

"Hehe, I don't believe you."

Your mother's cunt!

Are you playing with me?

Zhao Chi was furious beyond measure.

"Then… what would it take for you to believe me?" Zhao Chi held back his temper once more, feeling his lungs were about to explode.

Shangguan Ting said coquettishly: "Just use it on me two more times."

Zhao Chi said: "But you have a protective barrier on you, it won't work."

Shangguan Ting said with a smile: "I was afraid you'd use that skill against me, that's why I activated this spiritual technique. If you promise me you won't run, I'll release it."

Zhao Chi pondered for a moment.

Theoretically speaking, if Shangguan Ting released the protective barrier, Zhao Chi's skill would definitely affect her.

When the time came, he could just run.

But that wouldn't solve the problem.

What Zhao Chi wanted most was to resolve the issue—otherwise, even if he ran this time, the next time he ran into Shangguan Ting, there might be new trouble again.

And this time, using 10 points of appearance to stabilize her, he aimed to settle the matter on the spot, so that this time it could be done once and for all.

Otherwise, he'd have to keep hiding from her.

It had to be resolved today!

Thinking of this, Zhao Chi agreed: "Alright, I won't run. Let's settle the problem today, and then I'll leave."

"Really? You won't run?"

"I won't run."

"Then I can't let go of you either—I can only remove the protective barrier. I need to be completely sure before I let go of you."

Zhao Chi already felt helpless.

He even felt a little like laughing—laughter born from fury pushed to its limit.

But on his lips, he replied softly: "Alright."

Sure enough, Shangguan Ting's body flashed, and the glowing protective shield vanished.

Zhao Chi activated his skill: "Two hits, right?"

"Mm~ Try two hits on me first."

Zhao Chi didn't waste any more words, sending two streaks of light flying out directly.

Shangguan Ting didn't dodge or evade, letting the light strike her body freely.

A surging power instantly flooded her entire body.

"Ugh—ya!"

A delicate cry reached his ears.

Su Qin stared at Shangguan Ting in disbelief, her heart now filled with utter puzzlement and astonishment — what on earth was going on?
