Chapter 2310

Shangguan Ting checked with difficulty, pointing to the left: "That's the location of the White Tiger Regiment headquarters... but it might be quite dangerous right now."

The White Tiger Regiment headquarters is still dangerous?

Zhao Chi didn't quite understand.

But it had nothing to do with him, and he didn't care about it right now either.

Zhao Chi said: "We're not going to the White Tiger Regiment, we're going to the Binghe main regiment."

Shangguan Ting said softly: "Then look back, the direction of the Binghe main regiment is behind us."

Actually, Zhao Chi really wanted to go over to the River Valley main regiment to take a look right now.

The Zhao family members were all over there.

Moreover, Zhao Chi's current strength could definitely be of help.

If he were to say that relying on him alone could repel a main regiment of werewolves, that would absolutely be unrealistic.

That would be far too arrogant.

But he could definitely rescue a few more Zhao family members.

Zhao Chi was very confident about this point.

However...

In the end, what came first was still his own territory.

At the very least, he had to return to the territory first, bring the territory critical point with him, and then talk about anything else.

He had to first ensure the safety of his own territory and the female soldiers before he could attempt to rescue the Zhao family.

Perhaps this location was closer to the River Valley main regiment, but there was nothing to be done about it.

He had to return to the territory first.

Zhao Chi said: "Alright, then let's go rendezvous with the Binghe main regiment first. If you have anything to tell me on the way, just say it. If I'm running too roughly and you're in too much pain, don't hold it in either—tell me, and I'll adjust."

"Mm~" A soft, sweet voice.

Zhao Chi was very unaccustomed to Shangguan Ting's tone at this moment.

Too clingy and soft.

A bit like Gu Qing.

Zhao Chi still preferred her to speak more crisp and decisive.

But he couldn't blame her either—after all, she was currently in this kind of cloud-nine state... she could only produce this kind of tone.

Zhao Chi continued sprinting.

Shangguan Ting's panting grew faint.

It should be that the effect of Blissful Berserk had ended.

Zhao Chi said: "Shangguan Ting, if you feel sleepy, don't sleep. I've heard that people who suffer heavy injuries, if not treated in time, might never wake up—just fall asleep and die straight away."

"Mm... no, it's this painful, how could I possibly fall asleep?"

"Still in a lot of pain?"

"Much better than just now. You don't need to worry about me, just keep up your speed."

"Alright, if you get sleepy, you can chat with me."

"Chat about what?"

"Anything works, just keep your brain thinking, stay awake, that's enough."

"Zhao Chi~ your hair just turned black, is that okay?"

Shangguan Ting tilted her head, leaning against Zhao Chi's shoulder.

Staring at Zhao Chi's profile.

"No problem, the skill's time expired."

"Oh... then have you gotten weak again now~?"

"Don't worry, I have enough strength to get you back."

"So domineering~"

Zhao Chi felt something was off.

The effect of Blissful Berserk had already worn off, so why was she still speaking in this tone?

Clingy and soft again.

It definitely wasn't unpleasant to hear, just too strange.

Shangguan Ting said with a light laugh: "You really exceeded all my expectations. I had already despaired just now, I didn't expect you to descend from the sky... I couldn't believe it just now, I thought I was so scared I was hallucinating."

"Oh..."

"Have you always been this strong? Were you hiding your strength before?"

"No."

"No? I don't believe it. You couldn't have suddenly become this powerful. You were hiding yourself before."

Zhao Chi was indeed hiding himself.

But not his strength.

Zhao Chi was silently speechless.

Yet Shangguan Ting kept chattering on.

"Then... before, were you always going easy on me?"

"... That, not really."

"Really? Your strength is so great, you shattered the giant beast-man in one hit, you should have been able to easily break free from my control before. But why didn't you break free? Were you deliberately pretending to be weak, wanting to get close to me?"

Zhao Chi was truly speechless.

It seemed the bandaging of Shangguan Ting had been very successful.

She was now in the mood to let her thoughts run wild.

Zhao Chi hurriedly denied it: "Not at all, don't overthink it. My strength is all temporary too, I can't possibly stay that strong forever."

"Really? An increase in power takes a long time to build up—how long has it been? Even if it's temporary, why didn't you use it when I was controlling you earlier? You just wanted to get close to me, didn't you?"

"I really didn't."

"Don't lie to me, I'm not some little Miss, you can't fool me."

"Just don't fool yourself."

Shangguan Ting fell silent.

But Zhao Chi could feel that she was still staring at him the whole time.

She even deliberately leaned her head a little closer.

This matter was definitely not over.

That old familiar feeling had returned.

Once you got entangled with Shangguan Ting, you couldn't shake her off without losing a layer of skin.

But this time he had to save her no matter what—the Zhao clan lord and all his family were within her territory; saving her alone meant saving dozens or even over a hundred people.

Shangguan Ting was quiet and still.

But Zhao Chi had a premonition that she would definitely speak up.

Sure enough…

"So on the second floor of Shopkeeper Wanyan's, you were also pretending to be controlled by me?"

"…You're overthinking it."

"Hmph, don't deny it. I could feel your power suddenly surge at that time—I was still wondering about it then. So it turns out you were hiding it all along."

At that time Zhao Chi had used the Pluck-Flower-Borrow-Jade technique, shifting his attributes into power mode.

Shangguan Ting would naturally feel the sudden surge in strength.

But Zhao Chi couldn't easily explain it either.

"Not talking? Let me ask you—when I was… doing that to you, why didn't you resist either? Were you startled at the time, then felt the chance was too rare, so you were even more reluctant to break free?"

Why was she bringing this up?

And her tone didn't sound like the previous shame and embarrassment at all.

Instead… it was a kind of teasing?

Even a little smug?

Like a couple reminiscing about certain private matters between them.

So strange…
