Chapter 2146

A faint blue light floated upon Zhao Chi's body.

Immediately, the blue light spun and concentrated, quickly gathering at Zhao Chi's dantian, then surged forward, probing deep into Gu Qing.

Hoo~

Before Zhao Chi could make any move, that wisp of spiritual power was instantly scattered, then entirely swallowed by Gu Qing's energy.

Damn...

Can't I separate and guide it out?

Try again.

Another blue light appeared, but this time it was clearly much brighter and far stronger.

The blue light spun, concentrated, and entered deep into Gu Qing once more.

Hoo hoo~

This large surge of spiritual power was scattered again, then completely absorbed by Gu Qing.

"My lord, is it not working?"

Gu Qing could also feel that the two concentrations of power Zhao Chi had gathered had vanished entirely, and moreover... had been absorbed by herself.

Zhao Chi shook his head: "No, why is your energy so strong? The spiritual power I separated collapses at a single touch; I simply cannot guide it."

"How can this be?" Gu Qing was also confused.

"When you absorbed my inherited energy, how much spiritual power did you separate to guide it? Was it a lot?"

"No, my lord, your energy is very obedient. I only needed to separate a thread of spiritual power to guide it, and then it came over quite properly."

"Then it seems it is not a matter of how much spiritual power... your energy seems unwilling to be absorbed by me."

"I am willing!" Gu Qing hurriedly protested.

Zhao Chi smiled: "I am not blaming you; I am speaking of this phenomenon."

Zhao Chi's delicate brows furrowed slightly: "My lord, I truly cannot sense the kind of energy you speak of, so I do not know how to help you."

"It is fine; I will try again."

"Good... has my energy always been like this? Like a tornado? Is there ever a relatively calm and quiet time?"

Zhao Chi thought carefully.

"There is no quiet time; your energy has always been very strong, but... just now there were indeed a few moments when it did not appear in a spinning state, but rather surged about chaotically like waves."

"When?"

"When you were shouting wildly."

"What is that? Making me sound foolish. You could say it was when I was increasing the wild energy."

"Yes, it was then."

Gu Qing laughed lightly: "Then it seems I must work hard once more. My lord, go ahead; let me reach that moment, and then we shall try."

Zhao Chi nodded: "Indeed, we can try, but are you not about to collapse? You may rest a while longer; I will come to you tonight to try again."

"No need~ I cannot let you, this big fellow, look down on me. I can do it, and how could such a good thing wait until night?"

"Very well, then I will make a special attempt this time; do not make me speed up."

"I know~"

"A moment before you increase the energy, remember to tell me; I will prepare the spiritual power in advance."

"Alright~"

Birds sang, swallows chattered.

Birds were huge, flowers fragrant.

"My lord... it is coming soon..."

Zhao Chi immediately gathered spiritual power and guided it forward.

But he did not fully touch that energy vortex of Gu Qing's.

Instead, he waited patiently.

"My lord! My lord!"

Gu Qing's voice grew louder, as if reminding Zhao Chi.

"I know."

Zhao Chi had already felt that energy vortex begin to disperse.

He had noticed it before, but previously did not know he should begin absorbing at this moment.

This time, he could not let the opportunity slip.

Zhao Chi immediately controlled the spiritual power and advanced to guide it.

Hope it will not be scattered again.

Gu Qing's body was tense then; every soft muscle of her whole body was exerting force, yet that powerful energy vortex seemed to have lost its strength, surging but chaotic, and was guided back by Zhao Chi with utter ease.

A warm current of energy flowed backward, somewhat like the state when Gu Qing and Zhuang Ya collapsed, yet not entirely the same.

Zhao Chi felt warmth begin from his abdominal dantian, then spread to his four limbs and hundred bones; his entire body seemed to be brimming with vitality.

"Damn..."

He could not help but mutter a curse, for this feeling was even more comfortable than in the Carefree Spring.

The energy was still being absorbed.

Because after advancing to the state of Extreme Bliss and Frenzy, Gu Qing and the others could maintain this state for a full 20 seconds.

Zhao Chi had 20 seconds to operate.

But he did not do so.

Because he was not certain what the consequences would be.

If all of Gu Qing's energy were absorbed, there was a fear that Gu Qing would be affected.

Zhao Chi absorbed only half, then stopped.

A few seconds later, Gu Qing softly asked, "My lord... did it succeed?"

Zhao Chi nodded: "It succeeded, but it seems to have no effect."

"Hmm... hmm? No system prompt or anything?"

"Nothing at all, just a feeling of a huge surge of energy in the body, strength all over."

Gu Qing chuckled lightly: "Is that so? That's actually quite good. My lord, you worked the hardest; we enjoy ourselves, yet you bear the cost. If I could help restore your strength, that would be a good thing too."

Zhao Chi stared at Gu Qing's face.

Still peach-red and beautiful.

No condition had appeared due to his absorption of her energy.

"Gu Qing, how do you feel now? Since I just absorbed half, I don't know if it will affect you; do you feel unwell?"

Gu Qing laughed softly and shook her head: "No, how could I feel unwell? It's very comfortable; I don't want to move at all right now. There's no condition."

"Is that so... then what energy of yours did I absorb? Spiritual energy?"

"Hmm... I don't know either; let me check."

"Good."

Gu Qing closed her eyes and sensed her own bodily state.

Then, through the system, she checked again.

"My lord, I can confirm now; what you just absorbed was half of my bloodline energy."

"Bloodline energy?" Zhao Chi was somewhat surprised: "If that's the case, the time for you to condense your bloodline will be extended again, correct?"

"Yes, extended by about 5 days."

"Only extended by 5 days? I absorbed half the bloodline energy, right? Doesn't bloodline energy require 1 month to gather? Why isn't it extended by 15 days?"

"This... I'm not quite clear either; wait a moment, let me check~"

"Good."

Gu Qing flipped through the system again, while sensing her body.

"Oh~ I know; it's due to our territory's characteristic, the influence of the Aphrodisiac Atmosphere."

"Ah? What does that mean?"

"Hasn't the Aphrodisiac Atmosphere advanced now? It increases the conception rate for creatures in the territory by +200%, so... I am also affected by this."

Zhao Chi listened, utterly confused.

He knew the effect of the Aphrodisiac Atmosphere, but what did that have to do with bloodline?

Zhao Chi voiced his doubt.
