Chapter 1923: The Second Female Noble (2)

That cup of medicine was pure black.

It tasted very bitter.

Just standing beside it, one could smell it.

He didn't know what effect it had, but this kind of medicine wasn't a prop—its effects were basically all for strengthening the body.

But it inevitably reminded him of yesterday's medicine's side effect.

It was called a side effect, but everyone was very satisfied with it.

Besides Li Ruanyu and Gu Qing having tried it, later Tang Ruan, Qi Yue, and the others also felt Zhao Chi's vigor.

Zhao Chi also felt completely at ease.

This side effect was actually quite nice.

He wondered what effect today's one would have.

Zhao Chi smiled and said, "Why is there medicine again? Looks like it's not as simple as just massaging your feet."

Li Ruanyu smiled and shook her head, "This time you're overthinking it. This medicine doesn't have that kind of side effect, but the corresponding effect is also a bit smaller. Drink it quickly."

Saying so, she gently pushed with her left foot, sliding it in front of Zhao Chi.

"No, Sister, you're being so improper! Pushing the cup over with your foot?"

"Oh, it doesn't have any smell."

"That may not be true."

"Honestly, wasn't it you who was hugging my foot and kissing it all over? Massage me quickly, or I won't give you the World Stone."

Zhao Chi smiled and sat down beside her.

He downed the medicine in one gulp, then took her delicate feet and gently kneaded them.

Zhao Chi now had 10 Intelligence, with an extremely keen sense of smell.

Of course he could smell every part of Li Ruanyu's body.

She wasn't from the Taoyuan Tribe, and didn't possess the Extreme Desire Body Fragrance or related linked genes.

So she herself was considered a thoroughly complete human woman.

Although she used very expensive perfume, the natural smells were still there.

It's just that she washed her body every day, so indeed there was no unpleasant odor.

The fragrance of her hair, the perfume scent of her body, the faint salty smell between her legs, the light sourness of her feet.

All very real.

Mixed among these scents was the gene scent unique to women. Zhao Chi didn't dislike it—in fact, he was a bit intoxicated by it.

"Sister, did you just get back from a battle not long ago?"

Li Ruanyu nodded, "Yes, how did you know?"

"Your stockings are a bit damp. Did you sweat?"

"Ah? Really?"

Li Ruanyu immediately pulled her feet back.

"What's wrong? Not massaging anymore?"

"No need to massage."

"Why?"

"I didn't know I was sweating. This battle went very smoothly, I barely exerted myself at all… forget it, forget it, next time I'll wash up properly before letting you massage me."

"It's fine, there's really no smell."

Zhao Chi wasn't saying this on purpose.

The smell really was very faint.

Moreover, Li Ruanyu had a habit of spraying perfume on her stockings, so overall it still smelled fragrant.

It's just that Zhao Chi's nose was too sensitive—otherwise he would only be able to smell the perfume.

Yet Li Ruanyu refused to stretch her feet out again no matter what.

She probably wanted to leave a perfect impression in Zhao Chi's mind, not wanting him to see even the slightest imperfection.

Zhao Chi wanted to say more, but Li Ruanyu directly took out a World Stone from her ample chest.

It was also a small one.

"Here, take it first. But this one isn't unregistered. If you want to clear it, you'll have to wait for an opportunity. I've been really busy these past two days. If you're not in a hurry, wait until after the year-end conference, and I'll figure out a way to make it unregistered for you."

Zhao Chi nodded, "I'm not in a hurry. For this kind of thing, a day earlier or a day later doesn't make much difference."

"That's good. Give me a shoulder massage. I'm a bit sleepy. I can't keep you company today." Li Ruanyu closed her eyes.

"Why do you seem so tired? If you're really tired, forget it, don't worry about Shangguan Ting." Zhao Chi offered comfort.

"How could that be?" Li Ruanyu instantly opened her eyes. "Before, fine, but now our strength definitely surpasses hers. She doesn't have a Carefree Spring like yours—her endurance is far worse than mine. I must take advantage of this half month to overturn all the disadvantages from the whole year! I can't let her keep smugly looking down on me!"

Is this the competitive spirit between women?

But having the Carefree Spring really was quite different.

After soaking in it, recovery ability was extremely strong, and mood extremely good.

So one could fight continuously.

Moreover, with such a good mood, one wouldn't grow weary of fighting even after continuous battles.

Even if Shangguan Ting was a bit stronger than Li Ruanyu, after going out to attack once or twice she would definitely need to rest.

Yet Li Ruanyu could keep fighting and fighting without stopping.

Combined with Li Ruanyu's own extremely strong combat ability, she contributed the most contribution points to the team.

She really did have a great chance of turning the tables.

Zhao Chi stopped trying to persuade her.

He pressed both hands on Li Ruanyu's shoulders: "Got it. Now close your eyes and rest—when should we head out to fight again?"

"Mm… in an hour and a half, I'll wake up just in time."

"Then stop talking and sleep."

"Okay… press a little harder. If I fall asleep later, just go handle your things."

"Mm."

Soon, under Zhao Chi's kneading, Li Ruanyu fell into a deep sleep.

Zhao Chi brought a blanket and gently draped it over her.

Then he left.

Back in his territory, the first thing Zhao Chi did was go find Tang Ruan.

As expected, Tang Ruan was training in the Illusion Weapon Room.

Zhao Chi patiently waited a few minutes for her, and she finally finished.

Zhao Chi pulled her straight out.

Tang Ruan was dragged away bare-bottomed, her face a picture of blank confusion.

Her pair of big softs jiggled nonstop.

"Eh? My lord? What's up? What's the rush?"

"Come try this quick."

"Try what? A new position?"

"What new position? Try and see if you can activate this World Stone."

"World Stone?"

Tang Ruan stared in surprise at the irregularly shaped, multicolored stone in Zhao Chi's hand.

Then she looked back at Zhao Chi.
