Chapter 2455

But regardless.

The White Tiger Regiment had reaped huge spoils of war, which could serve as rewards for the lords under its banner.

Truly, I wonder what Li Ruanyu will receive.

Let's not think about these things for now...

Bring the thoughts back to oneself.

After pondering for a while.

Zhao Chi determined the direction of his upcoming work.

Since the equipment can suffice for now, it will be relegated to the back row temporarily.

Moreover, crafting equipment requires Zhuang Ya to be resurrected; crafting and improving it together with Zhuang Ya means they must wait.

First, make the costumes.

The first to be made are the costumes for the female artisans.

Short skirts, shirts.

Then... go find Qi Yue.

Qi Yue should have recovered by now.

Entering Qi Yue's room, she was not there.

The bed had already been neatly made.

The scattered furniture had also been put in place.

The perfume-scented costumes had vanished from the table.

It seems Qi Yue has already gone to the Xiaoyao Spring.

The costumes were taken there to be washed.

Zhao Chi also needed to go there.

To wash off the thick scent all over his body; otherwise, the stickiness would be very uncomfortable.

My guess was correct.

Qi Yue was indeed inside the Xiaoyao Spring.

The costumes had been washed and wrung out, placed on the white shore nearby.

Qi Yue was lying in the shallow water, the surface just covering her shoulders and lower abdomen.

But the two full white moons had half of them above the water, trembling and swaying wildly.

Qi Yue was not lying alone; she was lying in the shallow water with a group of female soldiers, gazing at the stars.

Chatting while watching.

Laughter echoed in waves.

Zhao Chi looked at those pristine bodies without a single impure thought, purely appreciating their beauty.

Qi Yue seemed to sense something.

She turned her head gently and saw Zhao Chi.

She immediately climbed up, causing a splash of water.

"My lord, you have arrived."

Upon hearing this, the other female soldiers all stood up.

The crisp sound of splashing water mixed with their greetings, constantly reaching Zhao Chi's ears.

Zhao Chi smiled and said, "Continue resting; I am here to see Qi Yue."

Qi Yue nodded: "Xiao Li, could you help me hang these costumes in a moment?"

The female soldier nearby nodded in agreement: "Mm, leave it to me; you go quickly and attend to my lord."

Qi Yue walked over with a beaming smile.

While walking, she pulled out a white towel to dry her body.

"Are we going to make costumes?"

"No, we will temporarily go to the medicine shop first to produce a full cycle of 'Fierce Woman's Resentment'; otherwise, we only have twelve excellent-quality ones left, and they will be consumed very soon."

Qi Yue's motion of drying her body suddenly paused, then she resumed as normal.

Not knowing what she thought of, her cheeks began to flush slightly.

"Oh, then... let's go..."

Zhao Chi smiled: "What's wrong? It feels like you were startled all over by hearing that medicine name. Is it that terrifying?"

Qi Yue shook her head with a light laugh: "Such a fine medicine, how could I be afraid? I like it very much~"

"That's good."

"However... after taking this, I simply cannot concentrate. If you have time later, I would still prefer to take it slowly, is that okay?"

Zhao Chi smiled: "Of course. Once the energy is replenished to 100 points, this item won't be needed anymore; the main purpose now is to extend the frenzy duration so battles can be stronger later. And... wouldn't you feel the effect is even better when used?"

Qi Yue shook her head gently.

Then she nodded.

"The effect is indeed very good, and I truly like it. But what I want is not just this kind of thing... I prefer to be more clear-headed, unaffected by it, able to use my true state to be with you, my lord."

"You think that way?"

Qi Yue said gently: "Of course. I don't know how the other sisters feel, but I truly feel this way. Once the energy becomes 100 points, we won't need this anymore; let's not rush, okay?"

Zhao Chi nodded: "Of course, everything will follow your wishes."

Qi Yue said softly: "Thank you, my lord. Since we are going to make costumes, please come quickly."

Zhao Chi nodded.

It transformed into a strange beam of light and entered Qi Yue.

Qi Yue took out a new set of costumes and put them on.

Each of them, these female heroes, had many sets of costumes to wear at will.

Soon, the entire set of costumes was on.

Qi Yue then retrieved two basins of fresh blood from Bai Xian, and after entering the medicine shop, she dismissed a pharmacist.

The materials were ready, and the workbench was cleared.

Production could begin.

With the accumulation from the recent production, Zhao Chi had already gradually grasped the knack.

This time, he and Qi Yue continuously consumed six Speed-Up Talismans to complete a full cycle.

They produced over a hundred "Resentful Women's Hate" pills, of which forty were high-quality, accounting for roughly 35%.

After all, there was still some unfamiliarity.

But Zhao Chi could already clearly feel the progress.

In another few days, the high-quality rate should rise to over 98%.

All other qualities would be discarded; only these high-quality ones would be used.

There were now fifty-two in total, enough for more than ten days' supply for the time being.

The skill time expired.

Zhao Chi appeared beside Qi Yue.

The female pharmacists nearby glanced at Zhao Chi, exchanged a light chuckle, and pretended to have seen nothing.

Qi Yue helped Zhao Chi put away the "Resentful Women's Hate" pills.

Then she said, "My lord, it is already dawn."

Zhao Chi nodded: "Mm, I know."

Qi Yue asked, "Then... shall we continue making them? Or go to my room? After all, it is already dawn; should I take one right now?"

Zhao Chi smiled: "You just said you preferred to take things slowly with me; now why do I feel you are not speaking from the heart?"

Qi Yue, her face slightly flushed, looked around, then pulled Zhao Chi away from the medicine shop.

Only outside did she speak softly: "What I said just now was true. However, whether I take it or not, isn't it still being with you, my lord? As long as I am with you, I am full of anticipation; I don't want to miss a single day."

Zhao Chi reached back and took Qi Yue's soft hand: "I understand. Let's go; then I can fill you up as soon as possible. After that, we can take things slowly."

Qi Yue hurriedly said, "No, no, my lord, please be as gentle as possible; what just happened was already the limit."

Zhao Chi laughed heartily: "Rest assured, I understand. Take one right now, so you won't have to wait later."

Qi Yue nodded.

She took one out and put it in her mouth.
