Chapter 1700

"Go on, my lord, don't keep her waiting."

Zhao Chi nodded and wiped his mouth.

Teleport to Jade County.

Jade County's night was ablaze with lights.

Yet the park cabin was fresh and elegant.

Spirit-energy lamps lit up the wooden bridge and stream, and the white gravel path underfoot was brightly illuminated too.

The surrounding bamboo grove and trees all looked vividly green. Pink, yellow, and red flowers of every kind also looked exceptionally delicate and bright.

To have this kind of scenery in winter is truly wonderful.

Walk toward the cabin.

The spirit-energy lamp inside the cabin was on, its light spilling out through the wooden window.

Looking in through the window, he didn't see Li Ruanyu.

Enter the room.

He found the inside had already been tidied up.

The high heels at the door had been neatly arranged into the shoe cabinet; the stockings stuffed inside the shoes, and the ones scattered about outside, had all been put away.

The messy clothes in the room were gone, and the tabletop was very clean.

The bed was very neat, with no clutter at all.

There was one more pillow.

But there was still only one blanket.

Gu Qing really was right — judging by the look of things, he wouldn't be going back tonight.

"You're here, Zhao Chi."

A soft, sweet voice came from behind him.

He turned and saw Li Ruanyu wearing pajamas.

This was probably the first time he'd seen her in anything other than a uniform.

The pajamas were the goddess-style ones she had made herself.

The chest was propped up high; if Li Ruanyu jumped lightly, the two soft warmths inside seemed as if they would bounce right out.

Her head was wrapped in a towel — she had probably just finished bathing, and the few strands of hair peeking out from the towel were still wet.

Her legs were bare.

Pale and long.

Her thighs were plump but not thick, swaying three times with every step.

The spirit-energy lamp's light fell on her legs, reflecting a lustrous sheen.

Her white toes were pressed together, and she wore a pair of simple slippers.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Just staring at me — have you forgotten how to speak?"

Li Ruanyu smiled, took the towel off her head, and began drying her hair.

"Yes, this is the first time I've seen it — I was completely stunned."

Li Ruanyu laughed softly: "Nonsense. Don't think I didn't know just now. Back then, although… although my head really was a bit muddled, I saw perfectly clearly what you did."

"Did you?"

"Of course. Didn't you tell me to remember everything clearly? I did as you said… you… do you really like it like that? Don't you think it's dirty?"

Zhao Chi shook his head: "I only felt you were very clean, so I couldn't hold back."

"Oh…"

"Sister, why is your whole body so smooth? You've shaved off all your hair?"

"No… I don't know why either. My head hair and everything is normal, but there's just none on my body."

"No wonder."

"Also, you calling me 'sister' now — it feels a bit strange to me."

"I'll call you that when we go in next time."

"You dare."

Li Ruanyu's fingers flew, and a surge of spiritual energy burst forth — it seemed as if wind was swirling around her.

Her pajamas fluttered wildly on her body.

All sorts of pale softness and pink lines flickered faintly before Zhao Chi's eyes.

Soon, the moisture on Li Ruanyu's body was blown dry, and her long hair fell down. She had a little less of her usual capable air, but gained a touch of gentleness and allure.

"Have you eaten yet, Zhao Chi?"

"I have."

"That's good…"

"Sister, where did you bathe?"

"The bathroom next door. Do you want to wash up? I'll go run the water for you. But… wash if you want, but tonight you probably can't touch me — I want to rest for a bit. In a couple of days you can do as you like. Is that okay?"

Zhao Chi smiled: "That's not what I meant. I meant there's a Carefree Spring on my side — I could take you to try it out."

"You have a Carefree Spring too?" Li Ruanyu was very surprised.

"Too? You have one too?"

"It's not me — it's Deputy Captain Li Yanhui who has one. I go soak there often."

"Oh, you can go to mine from now on."

"Sure!" Li Ruanyu said gladly: "Going to Captain Li's side is a bit inconvenient, and I still have to call in favors — it's always a bit of a hassle."

"Mm, from now on, just come to my side."

"Alright… but won't it affect you? After all, there are still two seniors. If I go, won't they think you've brought a stranger and that it'll cause a bad impression?"

"No. I'm bringing my own wife to soak in the hot spring — who's going to say anything?"

Li Ruanyu glanced at Zhao Chi.

Then she smiled and said, "Who's your wife?"

"Who else could it be — the one in my arms."

Saying this, Zhao Chi went straight in and scooped Li Ruanyu up in a princess carry, walking toward the bed.

Li Ruanyu's whole body tensed at once, but relaxed again in an instant.

"You brat… did I say you could hold me?"

As Li Ruanyu spoke, her hands instead wrapped around Zhao Chi's neck.

Zhao Chi already reached the bedside, originally intending to set her down, but suddenly changed his mind.

"Big sis, you really are stubborn. I have one more move — it was originally for enhancement, but… it can also be used for other things. Want to try?"

"What move?"

"Hold me tight."

"Huh?"

Li Ruanyu was a little puzzled, but still tightened her arms around Zhao Chi's neck.

Light blazed forth.

A strange ray of light instantly shot from Zhao Chi's body and burrowed into Li Ruanyu.

Li Ruanyu let out a soft cry.

Her eyes widened involuntarily.

"Ah! Zhao Chi, you… this is… ahhh~~~"

Li Ruanyu in his arms twisted violently.

Her legs straightened, toes curling together.

Her fair, jade-white arms locked tightly around Zhao Chi's neck.

Zhao Chi almost couldn't hold her.

The current skill was the enhanced version.

Its duration was three times longer than before.

And Li Ruanyu, perhaps because she had never been touched before, lasted an especially long time — a full thirty-three seconds before stopping.

Her normally rational, wise eyes were now brimming with daze and tenderness.

"Zhao Chi~ what kind of skill is that? What's going on? Why does it feel the same as this morning?"
