Chapter 1711

Li Ruanyu didn't notice any of these details at all; her eyes were completely captivated by the surroundings.

It's too gorgeous.

How could buildings be constructed like this?

Zhao Chi casually led her into a phantom martial arts chamber.

The moment they entered, a rich fragrance assailed her nose.

Dozens of female soldiers lay or sat about, as if on a large communal bunk.

Yet, without exception, they were all a sea of Bai Huahua.

"This... what kind of place is this? This isn't your room for lewd pleasures, is it?"

Zhao Chi said, "Sister, what nonsense are you spouting? Everyone is training properly. It's fine if you wrong me, but they are all pure and innocent."

Li Ruanyu quickly covered her mouth: "Oh, sorry, I didn't mean it that way. It's mainly that this... it's truly my first time seeing it."

Li Ruanyu was well-traveled and knowledgeable.

She had encountered all kinds of enemies.

She had certainly seen plenty of decadent scenes as well.

But those scenes were definitely completely different from this one.

This felt more like a female soldiers' dormitory.

There was absolutely no tension or desolation.

On the contrary, quite a few people were very excited—probably having defeated enemies or broken through skills—while others were deep in thought, seemingly reflecting on their defeats.

"If you're not comfortable, you can also go in with your clothes on."

Li Ruanyu shook her head: "No... that's not necessary. If this is a rule you've set, I definitely can't break it."

"Aren't you very reluctant to be naked in front of outsiders?"

Li Ruanyu said, "I'll help you find the expansion book. I remember seeing the expansion book for Spring Breeze Tower somewhere before. The main body of your Phoenix Chant Tower is Spring Breeze Tower, right? I saw it written that way in the information."

Zhao Chi said joyfully, "Yes, it's Spring Breeze Tower. Can you buy it?"

Li Ruanyu shook her head: "Not buy, but pretty much the same. It's just that when I was distributing matched loot after a battle before, I remember seeing it, but I didn't choose it at the time. I need to check who took it, and ask if they still have it and whether they'd sell it."

"That's great."

"But, if you really can buy it, could you set aside a separate room for me?"

"What's the problem? Of course no problem!"

Li Ruanyu nodded: "Actually, we can also use a fragment of the Kunlun Mirror to copy it. I'll help you look for both, just to have two options ready."

"Okay!"

"As for now..." Li Ruanyu looked at the empty spot beside her, her heart racing.

"Zhao Chi, move the torch farther away."

Zhao Chi stepped out of the room.

Li Ruanyu's body flashed, and the silver armor covering her entire body transformed into a fair, delicate form.

"Ruanyu, aren't you..."

"It's fine. It's pitch dark anyway, I can't see anything. Besides, I have something to do at 6 o'clock and need to leave. I'll just train here for a little over an hour."

"Haha, alright then. Should I come find you at 6?"

"Either way is fine. It's okay if you don't come. I'll just teleport away directly. You'll keep this place open to me, right?"

"Mm, I've already granted you access."

"Great, I really can't wait any longer. This is 6 times the experience! Plus your pajamas and the experience fruit—oh my... no, I can't waste any more time. I need to train."

"Alright, go ahead and train."

Li Ruanyu lay down properly.

The pink crevice flickered in and out of view in the firelight.

Zhao Chi admired it for a moment, then left.

Originally, Li Ruanyu had said she would meet Gu Qing and the others after the battle, but Zhao Chi brought her to bathe instead. Zhao Chi had originally planned to take this chance to summon Gu Qing and the others, but Li Ruanyu was once again too impatient to wait and wanted to train.

Then forget it.

There would be plenty of time in the future anyway.

We'll talk about it later.

Zhao Chi still had things to do.

Yesterday he had taken in Li Ruanyu, and today's inherited energy had directly replenished 14 points.

Quite abundant.

With this, deducting the 1 point Qi Yue consumed daily, the remaining 13 points could all be given to Gu Qing.

The inherited genes of the Peach Source Silk Clan would activate faster.

It was just that Gu Qing might have a rougher time.

Should he change the current 10 points in constitution?

Forget it.

Although Gu Qing had it rough, that was only on the surface.

She looked like her body was rigid and convulsing all over.

But Gu Qing was actually quite willing.

Let it be then.

He quickly found Gu Qing.

She was very surprised, thinking Zhao Chi wouldn't return until dawn, but he had come back now.

Zhao Chi didn't waste any more words, pulling Gu Qing straight into the room.

On the bed, Zhao Chi didn't rush to make a move.

He was afraid that if Gu Qing collapsed in a moment, she wouldn't hear a thing.

Gu Qing looked at Zhao Chi's state and giggled: "What's the matter, my lord? Looking at you like this, did Sister Li Ruanyu not help you relax?"

"She's not up for it today, she needs another day to recover. You'll have to bear with me a bit more today."

"Hehe, this kind of thing I'm happy to bear with, but hurry and tell me — what did you two talk about last night? What did you do? Even if her body's not up for it, she's got hands and feet, surely she could still comfort you?"

Oh?

That really was unexpected.

But even if he had thought of it, Zhao Chi wouldn't be like this.

After all, he'd only just gotten together with Li Ruanyu, so he had to take things step by step — nothing could be rushed.

Although Li Ruanyu didn't mind, Zhao Chi now respected her from the bottom of his heart.

Take it slow.

Zhao Chi then told Gu Qing everything about last night and what had just happened.

Gu Qing had still been teasing at first.

But the more she listened, the fainter her smile grew.

Her gaze also shifted from teasing Zhao Chi to earnest and admiring.

"I really didn't expect that Sister Li Ruanyu had been silently shielding us from so many things behind the scenes? And that unregistered World Stone she gave you was also to lower our risk, while she bore the risk on our side herself?"

"Yes."

"She really is a good woman…"

Gu Qing nodded silently, her eyes flickering — no telling what she was thinking.

"Right, this good woman has also brought two more inheritance points. Today you'll have to endure a bit longer."

"I know~ What wonderful news. No matter what, I'll get along well with Sister Li Ruanyu. Come in, my lord — I'm ready for you anytime."

As for Gu Qing's situation, Zhao Chi knew it very well.

It could be said the two of them knew each other best.

Familiar paths, practiced ease.

She really was ready at any time.

When he left Gu Qing's room, it was already 6 a. m.

Li Ruanyu had already left.

But she had left Zhao Chi a message.

Li Ruanyu 【Zhao Chi… you two are a bit too… I could hear you all the way in the Phantom Martial Room. Could you try to be a little more discreet?】
