Chapter 1617

Besides… he hadn't eaten much less of her himself.

Lu Yi wasn't the legitimate daughter of the Lu family, but she was still a daughter, and with her striking looks, she was quite favored.

Every meal Zhao Chi refused, but Lu Yi always ate together with him.

Before, Zhao Chi had only thought Lu Yi was kind — after all, his situation at the time could be described as penniless, with nothing to his name, so he could only think of her that way.

Thinking about it now, it really was a little unusual.

Not only that, there were all sorts of other little details.

He hadn't thought of it before, but if one really wanted to lean toward the romantic angle, it all fit.

Gu Qing listened quietly.

After hearing it all, she gave a slight smile: "I understand about Lu Yi. What about Wei Li? Do you still dislike her now?"

Zhao Chi scratched his head: "Yesterday I still did a little, but today… I definitely can't say I dislike her."

Gu Qing laughed: "Alright, I think I understand most of it. Then let's not talk about them. You can sleep in my arms for a bit — it'll be past midnight soon, and you'll have to work hard again later."

Zhao Chi really was a little tired.

He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Just after midnight that day.

The gentle Gu Qing had practically turned into water.

"How are you, Gu Qing? Are you alright?" Zhao Chi looked at Gu Qing's state and couldn't quite bear it.

Gu Qing was languid, too lazy even to speak: "I'm fine — just nearly died."

Zhao Chi was very surprised: "Huh? So when you said earlier you were nearly dying, it was actually true?"

Gu Qing was amused by Zhao Chi.

Her eyes narrowed: "My lord, are you a fool? How could it possibly be true?"

Zhao Chi couldn't help but laugh either.

Fair enough — at a time like that, the words had to be taken in reverse.

"How is it, Gu Qing? Are the points enough? Can you set a new ability for the Silkworm Clan?"

Gu Qing stroked her occasionally twitching lower belly and gave a slight nod.

"It's ready. I'll send it for you to see."

【Please set a hereditary gene】

【Gene Inheritance Points: 7 points】

【1. Healing Bodily Fluids】 93%

【2. Toxic Bodily Fluids】 0%

【3. Robust Pectoral Muscles】 0%

"No problem, Gu Qing. Push the first one up to 100%."

"Yes, my lord."

Gu Qing's fingers moved lightly.

In an instant, a soft glow emanated from her lower abdomen.

"Oh, my lord, that won't work."

"How am I not working?"

"No, my lord, you're very capable. I mean I can't add a new gene to the Silkworm Clan — it requires consuming 1 Racial Gene Expansion Stone."

So it still needs expansion…

It seemed that once this hereditary gene became a racial gene of the Silkworm Clan, it also had to occupy a slot in their gene improvement column.

But that earlier Spider Queen's Silk Gland wasn't a gene — it counted as the Silkworm Clan's second talent, so it didn't require consuming a Gene Expansion Stone.

Now there were still 4 Gene Expansion Stones left; he'd need to keep replenishing them later.

"It's fine, Gu Qing. Just go ahead and use it."

"Understood."

As the Gene Expansion Stone emitted a crystalline glow, the light at Gu Qing's lower abdomen gradually grew brighter.

The light quickly spread throughout her entire body, and finally a human-shaped halo flew off from Gu Qing.

It spread into the surroundings and vanished into the air.

【The Taoyuan Silkworm Clan has acquired the hereditary gene "Healing Bodily Fluids"】

Looking at the hereditary gene column again:

【Please set a hereditary gene】

【Gene Inheritance Points: 0 points】

【1. Toxic Bodily Fluids】 0%

【2. Robust Pectoral Muscles】 0%

Only 2 options left.

After giving Gu Qing another 200 points of hereditary genes, those Taoyuan Silkworm Clan members would also have these two genes.

But replenishing 200 points of genes wasn't easy either.

Only 12 points a day, and he still had to distribute them among the other women.

How about not distributing them to them?

Anyway, not giving them genes didn't affect their pleasure — it could still make them feel incredible.

He could give Qi Yue 1 point, otherwise her "Blood Craving" gene would have a negative status, and she'd be craving terribly too.

Then it's decided.

Every day he only let Qi Yue eat a little, so he stopped injecting it into their bodies.

The remaining 11 points all went to Gu Qing.

However, just because he didn't give them the gene, the companionship they should have definitely couldn't be lacking.

Every day at the crack of dawn he still had to give them their fill.

At the very least, the energy of Bliss Rampage had to be stacked up for them.

Zhao Chi kneaded Gu Qing's surging tenderness and made up his mind.

Gu Qing said gently, "My lord, aren't you leaving yet? The other sisters might be getting anxious waiting."

Zhao Chi laughed, "I estimate it'll be another hour before I go find them."

Gu Qing was a little puzzled, "Ah? Why?"

Zhao Chi rose and laughed, "I've changed my mind — I'm going to stay here with you for another hour."

Gu Qing smiled gently, "What's the matter, my lord? Why are you so attached to me today?"

"Exactly!"

"Hehe, then how about this?"

In an instant, Zhao Chi felt he couldn't catch his breath.

Gu Qing treated him gently, and Zhao Chi had to treat her with force in return.

Very quickly, of the 12 points of energy newly recovered today, he gave her a full 11 points.

Gu Qing's Rampage energy also increased by over 30 points.

Gu Qing had never thought she could take this much.

She was still different from Tang Ruan.

Tang Ruan was the type of woman who looked incomparably delicate.

She really seemed as if a single gust of wind would knock her over.

Yet, no matter how wrecked she got, she only needed a short while to come back to full health again.

But Gu Qing wasn't like that.

Gu Qing was simply perfect.

Perhaps in some specialized aspects she wasn't as good as the other women.

But overall she had absolutely no weaknesses — one could say every stat was 99 points; although it hadn't reached 100, it could already be called the extreme.

However, after all, she wasn't Tang Ruan.

Gu Qing's current base stats had all reached 8 points — very powerful.

Zhao Chi hadn't given her any extra care either.

So…
