Chapter 2061

A very hazy feeling.

Though it didn't feel real, Zhao Chi could confirm there really was energy.

Gu Qing, on the other hand, felt absolutely nothing.

"My lord, is it because I'm about to condense my race bloodline soon, so some energy is appearing?"

"Sounds reasonable, but I'm not sure either. You really don't feel anything?"

"I… can only feel you wandering around inside, but I don't feel the energy you mentioned."

"What if you calm down… can you feel it then?"

"Mm… nope."

"Fine… I guess it's really like you said—because you're about to condense your bloodline, some inexplicable energy is being produced."

"Really? It couldn't be that my lord is making excuses to stop and rest, could it?"

"What! How could that be! Nothing of the sort!"

"Oh, hehe, it'd be fine even if there was. I'm already very happy."

"You're impossible… then just keep a proper watch on me!"

"Oops! Hehe~"

Gu Qing was truly satisfied.

He could tell accurately from her expression and reactions.

She was especially happy today, and very engaged.

And it wasn't just her.

Even Qi Yue and Zhuang Ya were the same.

Today Qi Yue ate with great gusto, her tied-up long hair swaying back and forth.

Zhuang Ya also had Zhao Chi come find her through the front door.

Clearly more proactive.

As for Tang Ruan… she actually dared to ride on Zhao Chi's head?

That was a rare sight.

They were all very happy.

Zhao Chi himself was completely immersed in it too.

Several hours passed in what felt like no time at all.

Happy times really are short.

Tang Ruan had been about to drift off to sleep, but she suddenly struggled awake.

"My lord, I… can upgrade the Jade Race now."

"Sleep first, there's still time after you wake up."

"It's fine… my lord, are you coming in to operate?"

"No need, you can handle upgrading the race yourself."

"Oh, then I'll lie down and do it."

Tang Ruan lay down weakly, opened the system, and entered the Jade Race's race interface.

【Please set hereditary genes】

【Gene inheritance points: 105】

【1. Masochistic Attachment】

【2. Hardened Scale Skin】

"My lord, should I pick Masochistic Attachment for them this time? Or Hardened Scale Skin?"

Masochistic Attachment could greatly boost the Jade Race's morale, as well as their damage reduction.

Hardened Scale Skin could give the Jade Race an extra layer of armor, increasing their defense and durability.

Both were actually pretty good.

But relatively speaking, Masochistic Attachment was still a bit better.

After all, their role was all charging meat-shield types, plunging into enemy ranks and taking the fiercest attacks.

With this gene, every single one of them would fight harder the more they were hit.

"Pick the first one."

"Mm, okay… my lord, I've picked it."

The environment didn't change at all.

Only Tang Ruan's smile grew gentler and gentler.

In just this short while, she had recovered again…

Truly formidable…

Before the most obedient, most pure, most seemingly delicate Tang Ruan, Zhao Chi always felt an inexplicable sense of frustration.

But before the utterly domineering and supremely proud Zhuang Ya, Zhao Chi instead felt extremely confident.

What a strange contrast.

From the system, Zhao Chi could see the Jade Race now possessed two extra genes: Masochistic Attachment and Hyper Self-Healing.

Looks like that was done.

When the Jade Race female soldiers fought, they would absolutely scream as they charged in, competing to let their opponents attack them…

A little something to look forward to.

Checking the time, it was past 4 a. m.

It was already a new day.

And also a new year.

In the early hours of the first day of the 937th year of this world, Zhao Chi quietly passed the time inside their bodies.

After coming out of Tang Ruan's room, Zhao Chi walked out of Fengyin Tower.

He found it extremely lively outside.

One after another, large wooden carts kept appearing in the center of Penglai Town, loaded with all kinds of supplies, continuously being transported to the storehouses.

One glance at those supplies and you could tell they weren't basic materials — they were all rare materials.

"Cart 37 to East Storehouse 7, Carts 58 and 59 to East Storehouse 13. Don't go too fast — the supplies on your carts are all fragile. Just walk slowly."

Beside them, a graceful figure was directing things.

Tall figure, wearing a uniform.

Sheer black stockings, red-soled black high heels with very thin heels.

Hair neatly coiled on top of her head, a fair and delicate face flawless and immaculate.

Li Ruanyu had also arrived.

"Ruanyu? The supplies have already arrived?"

Zhao Chi walked over.

Li Ruanyu turned her head with a beaming smile, then raised an eyebrow.

"Why did you come out without putting on any clothes?"

"I'm going to Xiaoyao Spring to bathe, so I was too lazy to put any on. Besides, I'll have to take them off again soon anyway. When did you get here?"

"Right when little Tang Ruan was screaming her head off just now."

"…Oh."

"Go wash up quick — look at you, you're all sticky."

"Oh, alright."

When he returned after washing up, Gu Qing had also arrived.

She was saying something to Li Ruanyu.

Seeing Zhao Chi walk over, both of them looked his way.

Zhao Chi froze for a second.

The two of them standing together… they really looked like sisters.

Though their looks were different, both were incomparably beautiful.

Both were the gorgeous, mature older-sister type.

Li Ruanyu looked a bit more dignified and elegant.
