Chapter 191

Fortunately, the earlier struggle hadn't been in vain.

Gu Qing flicked the slime from her hair: "My lord, the bones of your hand were showing just now. Please never do that again."

Zhao Chi smiled: "It's fine. The main thing is the chance was rare — I got the racial bloodline of this Primal Slime."

"So this is a racial bloodline?"

Gu Qing looked at the orb of light with curiosity.

Tang Ruan and the others, though exhausted and sprawled on the ground, all looked over as well.

Zhao Chi nodded: "That's right. This is it."

A racial bloodline can not only set the corresponding race, but can also be broken down into characteristic genes, which can be used together with a Race Improvement Tome.

I'll find Cao Feng for the Improvement Tome later — there's a contract binding him, so he can't refuse to give it.

Now this is perfect. With both the racial bloodline and the Improvement Tome, I can go back and improve those women.

No time to look it over now. I'll deal with it tonight when we're back.

This time, neither Zhao Chi nor Gu Qing and the others leveled up.

Only those lower-level women leveled up.

Because the Emperor Slime was ultimately taken down by Li Ruanyu, Zhao Chi and Gu Qing's group could only count as assists and didn't get much experience.

Gu Qing sighed: "My lord, are you in a hurry to go out? You don't look quite presentable like this — you should clean up a bit."

Zhao Chi wiped his face and nodded: "You're right, but it doesn't matter. I don't care what others think."

Gu Qing looked Zhao Chi up and down.

He had just crawled around inside the Emperor Slime's body, and his entire body was coated in slime of every color.

Though it didn't smell of much, he looked utterly disheveled.

Especially his hair — plastered flat against his scalp, like a drowned rat.

Even if Zhao Chi didn't mind, Gu Qing still wanted to help tidy him up.

Gu Qing smiled: "I know you may be the carefree sort, but let me wipe you down anyway."

Zhao Chi said: "But there's no towel or anything here. How would you wipe me? It's still several dozen minutes back to the Lord's Hall, and everyone's exhausted right now. Forget it — leave this to you, I should be able to come back soon."

Gu Qing grabbed him: "Don't rush. Is anyone still watching us?"

Zhao Chi was taken aback.

That feeling of being observed had indeed vanished.

He opened the system.

It also showed that each instructor had already disconnected.

Looking at the time, the instructors had all left right when his test ended.

"No one's there. It's just us now."

Gu Qing smiled: "Let me use my clothes to wipe you down. At least dry your hair before you go out — you'll look a bit more handsome that way."

Zhao Chi said indifferently: "It's fine. I don't really care about that sort of thing."

"But I do." Gu Qing took off her slime-covered leather armor and set it on the ground.

Then she gripped the hem of her clothes with both hands and pulled them up over her head.

Pop!

That full pair bounced out, swaying freely.

Zhao Chi quickly looked away.

The goblins were tied up over a hundred meters away, blocked by trees — they definitely couldn't see.

The harpies and naga warrioresses were tied up a few dozen meters away, but they were all female, so it didn't matter.

Gu Qing smiled: "Relax, no one can see. I've already looked plenty. Come here, lower your head."

Her cloth clothes were clean, but half-damp — it didn't seem to be slime, but rather her own sweat.

She had fought with all her might just now and sweated quite a lot.

Gu Qing stood proudly with her pair and asked: "Well? You don't mind, do you?"

Zhao Chi lowered his head: "I don't mind."

Gu Qing's sweat was certainly far better than slime.

Gu Qing smiled and draped the white, damp garment over Zhao Chi's head.

The clothes were warm, with no smell of sweat — only a faint scent of shower gel.

Gu Qing gently wiped him down.

Zhao Chi lowered his head and saw those two gently swaying melons right in front of him.

Gu Qing glanced over with a smile, saying nothing.

Soon enough.

"Alright, let me fix your hair now."

Zhao Chi's hair was already half-dry.

Though Gu Qing was very careful, the slime couldn't be completely cleaned out — but now it looked more like hair gel, easy to style.

Zhao Chi laughed: "What? How do you even know how to do this? You've learned far too many random things."

Gu Qing chuckled softly: "Where would I have learned? I'm just styling you according to my own taste. I think this looks the most handsome. Tang Ruan, come take a look — is it alright?"

Tang Ruan was completely drained of strength.

But she had rested for a while, and could now hobble over with a limp.

Tang Ruan squinted and smiled: "It works. Even more handsome than before."

Zhao Chi had no idea what he looked like right now.

Men's aesthetics and women's aesthetics are different — the gap can be quite large.

But since both of them thought he looked good, Zhao Chi had no objections.

After all, he hadn't minded looking like a drowned rat just now, so he was certainly better off than before.

"Thank you, Gu Qing. I'll be going then."

"Don't rush — wipe yourself down too."

Gu Qing carefully wiped him down from head to toe, giving him a quick once-over.

Sure enough, he looked much better than before.

Gu Qing put her clothes back on.

"That's about it. Leave the territory matters to us — you hurry off and take care of your real business."

Zhao Chi nodded: "Thanks for your hard work. I'll be back in a bit."

"Mm, be careful on the way."

Zhao Chi took a deep breath — teleport.

A slight wave of dizziness.

The next moment, Zhao Chi was back in the bustling great hall.

"Wow, Zhao Chi's out!"

"Zhao Chi, you're awesome!"

"How the hell did you pull that off? You're first in the whole grade?"

"Zhao Chi, have you seen your own score? You're first in the whole grade now!"

The surrounding classmates all crowded over.

Enthusiastic and amazed, they all jostled to talk to Zhao Chi.

Yang Xiong stuck out both thumbs: "Zhao Chi, you're just too awesome, aren't you? When we saw you were third in the grade during that last stage we were already going crazy, and now you pull off first in the whole grade? How did you fight? Way too strong!"

Zhao Chi said: "When we fight as a team later, you'll definitely find out."

Yang Xiong nodded: "I get it, don't say it, absolutely don't leak it. I just think you're way too strong — I'm a little worked up."

Zhao Chi believed he was genuinely happy for him from the bottom of his heart.

Lu Yi also came over.

"Zhao Chi, amazing! I told you you'd definitely make it."

Zhao Chi laughed: "Thanks to you — there were several hundred basic theories you helped me get clear. Thank you."

Lu Yi was very happy.

"Don't mention what happened before, that was nothing. After that you mainly relied on your own effort — Instructor Li and I both know that."

Duan Yun looked at Zhao Chi and shook his head: "Zhao Chi, really didn't expect this. Our class finally has a real pillar — from now on we can hold our heads up too."
