Chapter 2179

Soon, Zhao Chi once again guided that energy back.

Li Ruanyu let out a breath of relief.

Zhao Chi felt as if he had stepped into a sauna.

Heavy sweat steamed off him.

Hot air rose from the top of his head.

But this time, he could finally digest it completely.

Su Qin moved closer and said, "Zhao Chi, you can give some to me too. I've recovered a bit, I can share the burden."

Zhao Chi grinned wickedly, "Hehe, it's fine. The rest was all absorbed by me. That was really something…"

Hearing this, Su Qin stopped insisting and flopped heavily onto the bed.

Gu Qing and the others all breathed a sigh of relief as well.

Zhuang Ya nodded, "Indeed, the body temperature of the three of them has already come down."

Tang Ruan and Qi Yue brought over basins of water and towels, helping the three wipe their sweat and clean up.

Zhao Chi gently withdrew.

Tang Ruan immediately helped Zhao Chi clean up.

Qi Yue went to help Li Ruanyu clean up.

Only now did Li Ruanyu feel a bit shy, but she lay exhausted beside Su Qin and was truly tired, so she did not refuse Qi Yue's kindness.

After a while.

Su Qin said softly, "Zhao Chi, sisters, I succeeded… we succeeded. I'm already the same as you now."

Her voice was not loud, but one could hear the excitement in it.

"Really?!" Tang Ruan immediately rushed over to look at her.

But from the outside, nothing could be seen.

Qi Yue also happily drew close, reached out and touched — very soft. She sniffed carefully — very fragrant.

Gu Qing sighed, "That really wasn't easy. Su Qin is already like this, so when Sister Ruanyu undergoes her conversion later, it might be even more dangerous, no?"

Li Ruanyu lay on the bed, her whole body relaxed.

By now she had also recovered.

"It's fine, don't worry.

"Su Qin's conversion this time was too fast, a bit too rushed, and she didn't fully burn through her original human bloodline.

"So the final backlash was especially fierce.

"But fortunately it succeeded, and we didn't pay any price.

"When I undergo my conversion later, I don't need to rush like this. I'll just accumulate slowly, transform slowly.

"Stretching out the time can reduce a lot of the danger.

"This time it won't work, we'll have to find a chance after the battle ends.

"When the time comes, I'll have to trouble you all."

Gu Qing shook her head, "Sister Ruanyu, you're being too polite. We'll definitely give it our all."

Zhuang Ya also said, "Right. This time we've gained experience, so next time we can be more at ease."

Su Qin said, "Next time I can share the energy for you. Even if there's harm, doing it in small amounts many times, I can still shoulder quite a bit."

Tang Ruan laughed, "If you put it that way, I can too!"

"And me." Qi Yue also said softly.

Li Ruanyu smiled, "Alright, but that's for later. Su Qin, how are you now? Any special feelings?"

Everyone's attention turned to Su Qin.

Su Qin shook her head, "No other feelings, just very happy that I finally succeeded."

Tang Ruan hugged her, "Hehe, not dizzy anymore?"

"Mm, not dizzy anymore."

Zhao Chi had not spoken the whole time.

He was looking at Su Qin's attributes.

【Name】 Su Qin

【Identity】 Taoyuan Noble

【Attributes】 31

【Constitution】 6→7

【Strength】 6→7

【Agility】 8→9

【Intelligence】 7→8

All attributes increased by 1 point.

The innate attributes of the Taoyuan people are that all attributes are 1 point higher than ordinary humans, and after becoming a noble, all attributes also increase by 1 point.

But in reality, after Su Qin became a Taoyuan, her attributes only increased by 1 point each, not 2.

It seems that after this kind of conversion, one cannot fully obtain the overall attributes.

But it doesn't matter.

She can still improve.

Su Qin is only a town-level lord, and has not yet unlocked the county-level building: the Secondary Profession Hall.

So she has no attribute bonuses that could be added toward a profession advancement.

If added, her attributes would also increase by 3 points, reaching 34 points.

She's on the same level as Tang Ruan and the others.

But the Vice Hall belongs to faction buildings; outsiders can't use it.

Unless Su Qin also belongs to Zhao Chi.

A true belonging, not the current vassal-type belonging.

Previously it could only reach vassal belonging, but now Su Qin's bloodline has already become the Taoyuan Clan, so she can also become Zhao Chi's private lord like Gu Qing and the others.

The women were all chatting happily together.

All the hard work of these days had finally paid off, and they were all very relaxed.

And women all seem to have a natural talent for talking.

Even Qi Yue, who usually talks the least, was chattering away cheerfully in a familiar environment.

Zhao Chi interrupted them.

"Su Qin, I have something I want to ask your opinion on."

Su Qin turned her head, her face still flushed with excitement.

"Why ask my opinion? I have no opinion, I'll do whatever you say."

Zhao Chi smiled and said, "This matter is very important, you must make the decision."

Hearing Zhao Chi speak so solemnly, Su Qin also grew serious: "Alright, go ahead."

Zhao Chi said, "Now that your bloodline transformation has succeeded, I can further adjust your status and completely reassign you as my private lord, just like Tang Ruan, Qi Yue, and the others…"

"Really!?"

Before Zhao Chi could finish, Su Qin nearly leaped off the bed.

"Can I really? Just like them? In status too?"

"Y… yes."

Zhao Chi was the one who got a bit tongue-tied.

"That's wonderful, then hurry up and set it! How do I set it? Do I need to do anything?"

Her excessive enthusiasm left Zhao Chi a bit dumbfounded.

Zhao Chi reminded her again, "Su Qin, think this through carefully. This kind of thing is one-time, there's no going back."

Su Qin laughed and said, "I've already changed my bloodline, just to be closer to you all. If there's such a chance, it's something I'd dream of. You can't shake me off, Zhao Chi. I'm yours forever."

Zhao Chi nodded, "It's not just you, but also your territory…"

"It's all yours, all yours, I don't want any of it. I told you long ago it's yours, you're the one who didn't want it."

"…Alright then." Zhao Chi turned and asked, "Ruanyu, Su Qin becoming my private lord — our Poshi Army doesn't have any rules against this, right?"

Li Ruanyu laughed and said, "With me here, that's no problem at all."
