Chapter 1709: Goddess (2)

Zhao Chi truly didn't know what to say.

Who could have imagined such a thing?

He had always assumed it was because he was too weak and had nothing worth investigating, which was why no one had ever come to check on him.

So it was Li Ruanyu secretly helping him all along?

That's right…

After all, joining the World-Breaking Army meant even a village-level lord would definitely be investigated.

How could no one have checked?

Moreover, he had consecutively received the "Best Newcomer" and "Best Performance" awards, both of which showed that his situation here was unusual.

But even so, no one had ever come to bother him.

It was all Li Ruanyu silently helping him?

Zhao Chi looked at Li Ruanyu again and truly felt she was glowing all over.

Her skin really was white enough to glow, but Zhao Chi now felt she was radiating holy light.

Holy shit.

There's actually a woman like this?

Did a fairy really descend to the mortal world?

"Why aren't you saying anything?"

Zhao Chi said emotionally: "I always thought it was because I was lucky, but I didn't expect it was because of you. Thank you."

Li Ruanyu smiled: "You're welcome."

Zhao Chi asked again: "You knew I had an unregistered territory, so why did you still give me that unregistered World Stone?"

Li Ruanyu raised an eyebrow: "That was a dowry."

"Huh??"

"Hehe, just kidding. That was to protect you. If someone really found out you had an unregistered territory, I could use it as an excuse, saying it was a gift from me, and then come protect you. After all, I really did give it to you, and I have records on my side to prove it. You'd be safe then."

Every hair on Zhao Chi's body stood on end.

Holy crap!

This freaking…

This is a real goddess!

Goddess!

Zhao Chi looked at Li Ruanyu again and truly felt she was so beautiful.

Beautiful from head to toe.

Her entire person, under the glow of the surrounding firelight, seemed to be veiled in a layer of golden radiance.

Utterly sacred and pure

Li Ruanyu's exquisitely perfect body—Zhao Chi didn't even dare look directly at her now.

He felt somewhat base.

Let alone doing what he did yesterday… just thinking about it now felt somewhat sinful.

He felt he was defiling her.

"What's wrong, Zhao Chi? Why that expression? Aren't you happy?"

Zhao Chi sighed softly.

"How could I not be happy? I'm too happy. I'm sorry, Ruanyu, last night… I was too frivolous. I will definitely keep myself in check from now on."

"Eh! Haha? Why apologize? I don't mind at all."

"It's just that I feel I didn't do well… I will restrain myself from now on."

Li Ruanyu covered her mouth and laughed: "What's the matter? You don't have to be like this. I actually… really don't mind. I was just saying that with my mouth, but I still really like you… like you being frivolous with me."

Now Zhao Chi was instead a little surprised: "Really?"

Li Ruanyu felt a bit embarrassed: "What else could I say? Telling you to go ahead whenever you want? That would make me too shameless, wouldn't it?"

"Then me…?"
