Chapter 2178: Peach Blossom Noble Su Qin (7)

Zhao Chi heard Li Ruanyu's words.

But he had no spare energy to respond.

He could only nod, grimace, and say: "Understood, sis. I'm still okay right now…"

At this moment, Su Qin's 20-second state of high excitement had passed.

She was so exhausted she didn't move a muscle.

Zhao Chi also stopped to rest.

Su Qin said weakly: "Thank you both. I'm much better now, I just feel really tired."

Zhao Chi already couldn't speak.

He felt a very serious stitch in his side.

The energy he breathed in didn't feel like energy at all—it really felt like a gust of wind, rampaging through the meridians all over his body.

Like a bunch of wooden sticks, stabbing and darting about everywhere, completely beyond his control.

Before, wherever this energy passed, every part of his body would absorb it quickly, but today the absorption was very slow.

No…

It wasn't that the absorption was slow, but that the energy drawn in this time was too much—his body simply couldn't absorb it all.

Li Ruanyu noticed something was wrong with Zhao Chi and rushed over immediately.

Her palm stroked Zhao Chi's body and forehead.

Zhao Chi felt her hand, soft and cool.

It wasn't that her hand was cool, but that Zhao Chi was too hot.

Li Ruanyu said: "Zhao Chi, you're very hot right now. If that energy is too strong, you can channel it into me. I'm human too, I can help bear it for you."

She wasn't just saying it.

She was doing it as she spoke.

Her outfit vanished in an instant.

"Quick! Channel it into me."

She sat down right next to Su Qin, ready.

Judging by Li Ruanyu's usual style, she really wouldn't do something like this.

But now wasn't the time to consider other matters.

Between life and death, anything can be cast aside.

What are these things in comparison?

Zhao Chi gritted his teeth and smiled: "I'm fine. I can absorb all this damned energy!"

Li Ruanyu said angrily: "Zhao Chi! Don't make me use force. Get away from Su Qin and come to me!"

Gu Qing also urged anxiously: "Zhao Chi, don't force it! You've absorbed too much! Li Ruanyu is so strong, let her help you—there's absolutely no problem. Don't just treat us as your women, treat us as your helpers too. When you're in trouble, you can ask us for help. Listen to Li Ruanyu! When she's done, there's still us—we can all bear it together!"

Although Su Qin was completely drained, she still struggled to pull back, actively separating from Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi knit his brows and nodded: "Fine, but I need to first get you to…"

"Stop the nonsense, I know. Come on, I can get there easily."

Li Ruanyu really did get there quickly.

Zhao Chi had no time to savor the beauty's tenderness, only guiding the excess human-bloodline energy out, trying to channel it evenly to Li Ruanyu's side so she wouldn't be hit by the energy's impact too suddenly.

Li Ruanyu really was strong.

The moment that energy passed over, she immediately absorbed a good portion of it.

The Vermilion Bird turned back into the Azure Dragon.

But the warm tiger's mouth became a furnace.

Li Ruanyu was almost instantly drenched in sweat.

"It's actually… this strong?"

She hadn't expected the human-bloodline energy's counterattack to be so fierce.

But now wasn't the time to think about such things.

She could only knit her delicate brows tightly and exhaust herself absorbing it with all her might.

Zhuang Ya watched Li Ruanyu's body temperature soaring too, and sighed: "If only I had six arms."

She kicked off her high heels, lightly placed one foot on Zhao Chi's lower back, and pressed her other two hands onto Su Qin and Li Ruanyu respectively.

The heat from all three was drawn away together.

After a moment, Zhao Chi finally recovered.

"Alright, Li Ruanyu, how are you?"

Li Ruanyu gritted her teeth, her whole body drenched in heavy sweat.

She didn't speak, just kept shaking her head.

It was unclear whether she meant she was fine, or that she couldn't hold on.

Zhuang Ya said: "Li Ruanyu's whole body is burning hot."

Zhao Chi of course knew it was burning hot—the dragon's mouth was being scorched.

He had only just channeled the excess energy to her, and hadn't expected the energy's concentration to be this high.

This didn't feel like bloodline energy at all, more like bloodline itself.

Melted bloodline.

"Li Ruanyu, I'm fine on my end now. I'll draw the rest back."

Li Ruanyu said through gritted teeth: "It's fine…"

Zhao Chi said, "You wouldn't let me force myself just now, yet now you're the one trying to push through."

Gu Qing immediately sat on the bed: "Give me some too, I'll join in!"

Li Ruanyu shook her head: "No… you're not human… this energy will attack you directly…"

Zhao Chi said, "Don't move around. I'll absorb it back first, you rest a bit."

Li Ruanyu still wanted to say more, but Zhao Chi already began to act.

Li Ruanyu was already feeling awful, and this made her even less able to struggle.

She could only let Zhao Chi bring her into a state of violent energy.
