Chapter 2103

The scenery isn't great right now, but you can see the potential is limitless.

By next spring, the trees will sprout, the grass will grow, and everything will turn green.

The scenery will be beautiful by then.

Zhao Chi 【Let's go, let's take a look around】

Qi Yue 【Okay~】

Zhao Chi piloted Qi Yue, quickly patrolling through Red Moon Village.

Qi Yue's high heels crunched on the dead grass and dead leaves, making a rustling sound.

Some animals were startled and fled, while some birds flapped their wings in panic and flew to nearby treetops.

For ordinary people, this would be a bit frightening right now.

If Su Qin came here alone, she would definitely be nervous.

But through Qi Yue's eyes, Zhao Chi saw that the surroundings weren't dark at all, but rather like a forest on an overcast day, with no sense of fear whatsoever.

It felt more like urgently needing to pee and ducking into the woods from the road to relieve oneself.

Suddenly, a white shadow appeared in the distance.

Qi Yue 【My lord, there's something over there, it's not an animal】

Zhao Chi 【Mm, that's the initial magical beast in the territory, it looks like a skeleton】

Qi Yue 【Skeletons, huh, shall we fight?】

Zhao Chi 【Fight. Once they're cleared out, there won't be much danger in the territory】

Qi Yue 【Then I'll go in?】

Zhao Chi 【Mm, go ahead】

Qi Yue took back control of her body and shot out in an instant.

15 seconds.

Over 30 skeletons turned into broken bones.

Qi Yue gained several thousand experience points.

Qi Yue 【My lord, that's all it took?】

Zhao Chi 【Haha, yeah, all taken care of. Let's go, to the center of the territory. The new villagers should be arriving soon】

Qi Yue 【Okay!】

The two returned to the center of Red Moon Village, waited about 1 minute, and the ground trembled slightly.

The dead grass rose, the fallen leaves parted.

20 pairs of snow-white arms reached out, followed by the appearance of 20 fair-skinned, soft women.

Among them, 10 were additionally added by Zhao Chi using the Refugee Talisman.

Those women hugged their bodies, looked at Qi Yue, all somewhat puzzled.

"Hello, my lord, are you the lord of this place?"

Qi Yue was a bit unsure how to answer: "Um... I, I'm not. I'll take you to meet the lord. You all come with me to Penglai Town first, we'll go wash up and eat."

Those female villagers were all somewhat surprised to hear Qi Yue say this.

Because they all felt an inexplicable sense of goodwill toward Qi Yue.

Just like how the Taoyuan Clan naturally felt goodwill toward Zhao Chi.

"Okay, thank you, big sister."

"Thank you, little sister."

"Thank you."

They politely thanked Qi Yue.

Qi Yue requested instructions from Zhao Chi 【My lord, should we head back now?】

Zhao Chi 【Let's head back. I happen to need to go to Zhuang Ya's side. You arrange these people】

Qi Yue 【Okay, understood】

Qi Yue smiled and said: "You're welcome, then let's go."

Returning to Penglai Town, Zhao Chi separated from Qi Yue.

He greeted the new villagers in a bold and uninhibited manner.

These 20 Moon Clan women were all dumbfounded.

They never dreamed in their lives that the first time meeting the lord, both sides would be so candidly seeing each other like this.

But looking around...

It seemed this was just the style here, a little strange.

But the smiles on the surrounding residents' faces weren't fake, so maybe this place wasn't bad?

Zhao Chi didn't know what they were thinking, he just felt their smiles were a bit forced.

Probably from hunger.

After soaking in the Carefree Spring later and having a big meal, they'd all cheer up.

Zhao Chi switched battle armor and entered Chaoge Town.

Penglai Town was full of women, so Zhao Chi could run around swinging his big dragon, since this was an extremely private territory.

But Chaoge Town had quite a few slave laborers, so that wouldn't be appropriate.

Zhuang Ya's pretty face flushed pink.

Her eyes shone with an excited look.

She must have dealt with a lot of disobedient prisoners today, to be this excited.

Seeing Zhao Chi, Zhuang Ya walked over with cat-like steps: "Lord Zhao Chi, looking for me?"

Lord Zhao Chi...

She addressed herself this way — she must really be happy.

"Zhuang Ya, you're in good shape today. How many slaves did you discipline?"

Zhuang Ya laughed: "That's not the reason. Today I converted a full two thousand people."

"Huh? That many? In a single day?"

Zhuang Ya nodded: "Right. They were originally rescued by you, so they all had two to three points of submission. Plus our meals are plentiful and everyone can eat their fill, so a lot of them joined."

"Not bad. I thought you were just worked up from beating people."

Zhuang Ya gave Zhao Chi's arm a light pat.

"Nonsense~ I'm not some sadist — how could I only be happy from hitting people? I'm happy when my work goes smoothly too."

Not a sadist...?

Zhao Chi had no idea how Zhuang Ya could say that with a straight face.

She really has the nerve to say it...

Zhao Chi said: "Come with me to Penglai Village. I have something for you."

"Alright!" Zhuang Ya nodded, then turned and shouted: "Wei Leng! Xia Yan! I'm stepping away for a bit. I'm leaving this place to you."

"Got it, Sister Zhuang Ya!"

"Don't worry!"

The number of slaves here was truly too great — Zhuang Ya did need to hand things over.

The two of them quickly arrived at Penglai.

Zhao Chi handed the World Stone to Zhuang Ya.

"Give it a try and see if you can activate it. I'm not sure if you can become a Racial Inheritor in such a short time."

"Racial Inheritor? Me?"

Zhuang Ya stared at the World Stone, unable to believe it.

"Right. As long as you can activate the World Stone, it means there's no problem."

"I... can activate it! You're going to elevate me to nobility?"

Zhuang Ya's eyes sparkled.

"Of course. Activate it quickly!"

"Thank you, my lord!"

Zhao Chi laughed: "What? Not calling me by name anymore?"

Zhuang Ya pressed her lips together and smiled: "No... that wouldn't be proper... I'll call you my lord too, like Gu Qing and the others."
