Chapter 1947: Auxiliary Gene Improvement (6)

Qiyue was exaggerating a bit.

Gu Qing and Zhuang Ya laughed softly.

Tang Ruan said seriously, "What's there to fear? My lord treats us differently — he's the gentlest with you."

Qiyue said, "Gentlest with me? Shouldn't that be Sister Zhuang Ya he's gentlest with?"

Zhuang Ya was listening nearby.

She quickly said, "How did it get to me? Zhao Chi… isn't gentle with me at all."

"No way?" Qiyue said curiously, "Aren't you… very… easy to finish?"

Tang Ruan was also curious: "Right, Sister Zhuang, you collapse at a single touch — isn't my lord good to you?"

Gu Qing laughed and said, "You two little ones, stop asking. How could my lord possibly be unkind to Zhuang Ya? It's just that she always says things that 'offend' him, so trouble comes from her mouth, and naturally the punishment has to go in through the 'mouth' too."

Zhuang Ya sighed, "I really envy you, Tang Ruan. If only I had your kind of masochistic mindset — he always ends up tormenting me…"

Gu Qing asked, "Zhuang Ya, are you really feeling uncomfortable? If it's true, I can go talk to my lord and ask him not to treat you like this. I don't think he means it on purpose."

"Well… well, that's not necessary either." Zhuang Ya looked a little embarrassed. "Although Zhao Chi is very forceful with me, once he sees I really can't take it anymore, he does become a bit more considerate."

Gu Qing said, "It's alright, Zhuang Ya, just tell the truth. My lord will respect our feelings."

Zhuang Ya was silent for a moment.

Then she shook her head: "Actually, actually, I quite like it this way too. You don't need to say anything to Zhao Chi."

Gu Qing smiled and nodded, smiling without a word.

Zhao Chi woke up in Tang Ruan's bed.

He stared at the ceiling, Tang Ruan's soft, delicate voice still lingering in his ears.

He opened the system.

He still felt a bit surprised.

43 points.

The most ever in a single time.

Zhao Chi felt like his skin was about to rub raw.

Tang Ruan really was something.

Falling again and again, only to get back up again.

It really suited her role.

No more overthinking — hurry up, wash up and eat.

Then improve the Mystic Maiden Steel Armor.

He pushed the door open and stepped out.

The entire territory had almost completely changed.

Red was everywhere.

Red fu characters were pasted on the doors of the buildings.

On either side were spring couplets with different phrases.

Red lanterns hung beneath every eave.

Almost every wooden window had paper-cuttings pasted on it.

Some were fish, some were lotus flowers, and some were characters.

The villagers passing by also had looks of joy on their faces.

They all seemed to have received little gifts.

There really was a bit of a New Year atmosphere.

He arrived at Carefree Spring.

He found all four female heroes were here.

Their cheeks were flushed red, excitedly chattering about something.

Seeing Zhao Chi come over, all four of them stopped talking and stared at him.

Zhao Chi asked, puzzled, "What's going on? Why did you suddenly stop talking? What were you saying?"

All four women laughed.

Zhao Chi also laughed and said, "What, were you talking about me?"

They laughed even harder.

Gu Qing said, "It's a secret."

Although it was a secret, if Zhao Chi pressed them, they would all tell him.

After all, their loyalty was maxed, their submission was maxed, and their affection was maxed.

But Zhao Chi didn't want to force them.

This sort of thing didn't really matter anyway.

So he nodded: "Alright, you do have quite a few little secrets. How's today going? Are all the new villagers settled in?"

"Mm, they're all over there. We'll go eat in a bit." Gu Qing pointed at a group of beauties not far away.

Several dozen new faces over there looked over curiously.

Some women immediately lowered their heads upon seeing Zhao Chi, while others smiled at him.

Different personalities, different reactions.

Zhao Chi also nodded back at them in a friendly manner.

Gu Qing asked, "My lord, from now on should all the sisters of the Jade Clan be reclassed as spearmen?"

Zhao Chi nodded, then asked Tang Ruan, "What are your thoughts?"

Tang Ruan shook her head lightly, the love in her eyes practically about to burst forth.

Gu Qing laughed and said: "My lord, don't ask her anymore, she has now completely become your little slave."

Tang Ruan, hearing this word, actually nodded her head, expressing agreement.

While nodding she also looked at Zhao Chi, her gaze simply unable to leave him.

It seems the effort wasn't wasted.

Zhao Chi said: "Then for now let's have all the Jade Clan convert to spearmen, since we have the class-change room anyway, if we want to change classes later we can do so anytime."

"Understood!" Gu Qing nodded.

"Zhuang Ya, we're going to start crafting in a bit."

"Mm, alright."

With the new Jade Clan spearmen arriving, the 400 steel Moon-Chasing Spears crafted earlier are no longer enough.

In a bit, first make more Moon-Chasing Spears, then improve the Mystic Maiden Armor.

Soon, the group split up to work.

Zhao Chi and Zhuang Ya entered the military factory.

Two days later.

These two days were very peaceful.

Nothing happened at all.

Tang Ruan was full of happiness every day.

Wonder if she'll feel a bit lost after it ends?

I'll find her to talk in a bit.

As a result, Tang Ruan, after hearing it, smiled and shook her head.

"My lord, you're overthinking it. It's not because of time, it's because… of strength."

"Because of strength?"

"Yes, my lord, your strength right now is so great, so fierce."
