Chapter 2311

Zhao Chi said: "Didn't you tell me to keep this buried in my stomach? How come you're bringing it up yourself now?"

Shangguan Ting said softly: "I don't know either... I just wanted to explain to you, that time I really had drunk too much, I really had drunk a lot."

Zhao Chi said: "You've already explained it to me in detail."

Shangguan Ting said: "I know... I just wanted to emphasize to you again, I'm not a casual woman."

Zhao Chi didn't want to say much more to Shangguan Ting.

But he held back again and again.

In the end, he still couldn't help retorting: "You already did that to me... what kind of woman, upon meeting an unfamiliar man, would just go straight to... straight to... aren't you casual enough already?"

"I've only ever done that with you!"

Shangguan Ting seemed eager to prove herself, her voice suddenly rising.

That did match her personality.

Zhao Chi said: "Mm... I believe that. If it were someone else, you probably would've bitten them off."

"... You're mocking me, aren't you? Actually, thinking about it, that time was also your fault."

"Huh?"

"Don't you have some kind of item that alters appearance or favorability? You must have done something to me back then, otherwise I wouldn't have been so weird."

Altering one's appearance — does that count as using a skill?

Actually, it doesn't.

But strictly speaking, it does.

Like a talent, it's a passive skill.

At an appearance score of 10, other people are indeed affected.

If you add the sting of alcohol on top of that...

But Zhao Chi definitely wouldn't admit it.

"... No."

"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Anyway, let me tell you, you definitely didn't get the short end of the stick. Bai Bai let me, a woman, do that for you... Most importantly, I've never done that to anyone else, so you can rest easy."

"Huh? What am I supposed to rest easy about?"

"Playing dumb, aren't you?"

"Captain Shangguan, to be honest, I don't have those kinds of feelings for you."

Shangguan Ting asked: "Then why did you, the moment we met, use that... that skill on me that made me feel so good? Wasn't that flirting with me?"

Zhao Chi said: "Don't talk nonsense. That time, you controlled me first. I had no choice but to break free like that."

Shangguan Ting said: "I didn't even do anything to you? But the result was you... made me really embarrassed. I'm a woman too, and a proper squadron commander at that. You did that to me, I really lost face, so I was very angry."

At that time...

After Shangguan Ting was hit with Zhao Chi's skill, right at the bustling entrance to the trading post, she began to...

It really was embarrassing...

Being angry was understandable.

"Fine, I can tell you were very angry. Later you even wanted to castrate me."

"Hehehe~"

"That happy?"

"No~ You did that to me, of course I was angry. Back then I was about to explode with rage, you know that?"

"I can tell."

"So, you did that to me, I wanted to kill you. Castrating you would've been getting off lightly."

"And that's getting off lightly?"

"Of course. If I were a squadron commander of the Celestial King Army, I would've killed you on the spot... But we're the World-Breaking Army, so... you understand I showed mercy, right?"

"Fine..."

"But now I know, you're actually this strong. You've been going easy on me all along, haven't you?"

"No."

Shangguan Ting snorted.

Clearly not believing him.

But she still went on: "Still, I was that angry — you should be happy."

Zhao Chi said, puzzled: "You're angry and I'm supposed to be happy?"

"Yes~ That shows I'm a very conservative woman. If anyone so much as slightly offends me, I really do get furious. So you understand now, right?"

"... I understand."

"Then can you rest easy now?"

"How did we get back to this again? Captain Shangguan, you're really overthinking it."

"Really? I don't buy it."
