Chapter 1913

Zhao Chi 【Okay】

Several minutes later, Zhao Chi arrived at Jade County.

Although she also had five territories, the places she most often stayed in were still the two spots in Jade County.

One was the room atop the Griffin Tower, which offered a sweeping view of the entire territory and lifted the spirits.

The other was a small house nestled within the garden.

Jade County hadn't changed much.

The buildings copied over from Zhao Chi's side hadn't been constructed here; they were all over in Red Jade Prefecture.

Li Ruanyu herself was waiting for Zhao Chi in the little house.

Li Ruanyu was still very busy right now.

During battle there were battle-time tasks to handle, and ordinarily there were ordinary tasks to handle.

But no matter how busy, one still had to live.

Especially since she had already passed through the initial stage of nervousness and shyness, as well as the stage of physical unfamiliarity, and was now... completely mature.

She had already reached the stage of savoring the marrow and knowing the taste.

And because of her age, she was about to enter that wolf-like, tiger-like phase, and seemed to have a particular need for these things.

Although she had never said so outright.

Nor admitted it.

She only said that she had previously consumed a great deal of energy and couldn't let it be spent for nothing without replenishing, which was why she was working hard to increase her Berserk Energy points.

But this kind of explanation...

Whoever believed it was a fool.

Judging from her various displays, Zhao Chi felt she was now even more vigorous than Gu Qing.

"You're here~"

The moment Zhao Chi pushed the door open and stepped inside, Li Ruanyu walked over with a smile.

She was still wearing a white blouse and a black short skirt.

But what she had on underneath was anyone's guess.

It definitely wasn't any of the fashion pieces Zhao Chi had made.

"Here, drink this."

Li Ruanyu picked up a steaming cup from the wooden table and came around from behind the sofa.

Her waist swayed lightly, her long legs parted and closed.

Although she wasn't wearing high heels, she still walked on her tiptoes.

This made her legs look especially straight and long.

"What is this?"

Zhao Chi stared at the pale red liquid in the cup, a little hesitant.

Recently Li Ruanyu had constantly been having Zhao Chi drink strange things, and each time it was different.

The taste was also very odd.

If Li Ruanyu hadn't brought it to him personally, Zhao Chi absolutely wouldn't have drunk it.

"Why do you care what it is? Just drink it, would I hurt you?"

Li Ruanyu took Zhao Chi's hand and placed the cup into it.

"You should at least tell me what this is, right?"

Zhao Chi gave it a sniff; there was no strange smell, just a faintly fishy-sweet sensation.

Li Ruanyu laughed and said, "You ask every time, and what good does asking do? You still obediently drink it in the end. This time it's the juice of a water dragon's liver and water dragon's whip."

"Holy crap, dragon's?"

"Yep, hurry up and drink it."

"This stuff... is it for boosting that kind of ability too?"

Li Ruanyu laughed and said, "This was something Gu Qing told me about. She couldn't get her hands on these ingredients herself, so she gave me the prescription and had me buy them for you. And I've already verified this prescription—it's fine. So... hurry up and drink."

"Fine... but how come you and Gu Qing are in such close contact now?"

"That's none of your business. Drink up, and then we'll test the effects. Although it isn't yet the wee hours of the morning, since you've come, I won't let you get away."

"... No need to go that far, sis."

"Hehe, whoever grabs him first gets him. Today I get to enjoy you first."

"Sis, calm down, this isn't your usual style."

"Style? When a woman fights over a man, all styles are the same. If you don't drink it, I'll feed it to you myself."

"Fine..."

Zhao Chi tipped his head back and drained it in one go.

Although it didn't smell like much, once it hit his mouth it felt bizarrely, unbearably spicy.

"Ouch, this spicy? Is this what dragon meat tastes like?"

Zhao Chi felt as though he had downed a cup of liquor mixed with chili oil.

His entire mouth and all the way down to his stomach felt like it was on fire, and a layer of sweat instantly broke out across his forehead.

"Dragon meat and dragon organs each taste different, and this also has other medicinal herbs mixed in. Here, have some water."

Zhao Chi took the water cup and drank it all in one gulp.

Miraculously, as the water went down, the burning sensation in Zhao Chi's mouth and throat vanished completely, leaving only a slight discomfort in his stomach, but even that was fading fast.

"Sis, this isn't plain water either, is it?"

"Not bad, Zhao Chi, you figured that out? This is also a medicine. Are you feeling better now?"

"Mm, much better."

"How about this?"

Li Ruanyu tossed aside her shirt.

Two smooth, bare jade orbs appeared.

Zhao Chi felt his fighting spirit instantly surge to the brim.

"No! What's going on?"

Li Ruanyu's gaze drifted downward, fixing on Zhao Chi's drumbeat, and she laughed softly: "As expected, not bad. This medicine's effect is very intense—it's almost instantaneous."

"No… wait a moment."

"Wait for what? Come on."

Li Ruanyu took Zhao Chi's hand, walking as she tossed her outfit piece by piece onto the sofa.

By the time they reached the bed, all that remained on her entire body was a pair of ultra-thin black crotchless stockings—clearly not made by Zhao Chi.

"Should I keep this one on or take it off?"

"Keep it on."

"Alright. If it gets in the way later, you can just tear it off directly—I bought it specially for you to play with."

Her jade-like hand reached over.

She set Zhao Chi's clothes aside as well.

"I say, sis, your change is a bit too big. A few days ago you were still proper and decent, so how come now you're practically the same as Gu Qing?"

Li Ruanyu laughed: "I haven't changed at all—it's you who activated me. And today it's not because of me either. The main thing is, this medicine has to quickly open up the meridians in your body, otherwise you'll be in agony holding it in. So…I could only sacrifice myself."

Li Ruanyu's eyes curved up, her red lips smiling.

She was every inch a fully ripened woman.
