Chapter 2514

Zhao Chi was just about to speak when Shangguan Ting pounced on him directly.

Zhao Chi felt his face covered by a thin layer of softness, and the scent of Shangguan Ting's clear, warm perfume filled his nose.

"Mmm-mmm!"

Zhao Chi wanted to speak, but Shangguan Ting hugged him too tightly; even though her B-grade round softness was not large, it sealed most of Zhao Chi's mouth.

Zhao Chi's voice also turned into muffled sounds.

Shangguan Ting held him for a while before letting go.

Then she apologized apologetically: "I didn't mean to be fierce to you just now; I was just pretending. You can understand that, right?"

Zhao Chi nodded: "Of course. You did very well, and you can continue like this in the future."

Shangguan Ting smiled prettily: "That's good, but will it be a bit too much? Since I'm trying to help you, I thought it would be more reasonable to show more disdain, and since you are Li Ruanyu's subordinate, my attitude makes even more sense."

Zhao Chi said: "It's not too much; you did it perfectly."

Shangguan Ting chuckled lightly: "Hearing praise from your mouth is too rare."

This statement left Zhao Chi stunned.

Why did she say that?

That's not true, is it?

Zhao Chi usually quite liked praising people.

Whether it was the female soldiers' hard training or the female craftsmen's serious work, whenever Zhao Chi saw it, he would casually offer praise.

Especially with Gu Qing and the others, he practically praised them every day, never sparing any compliments.

If it were in the early morning, the more he praised them, the more gently and diligently they would suck on the dragon head.

It was a result where both sides were happy.

But Shangguan Ting...

How could she say something like that?

Zhao Chi denied it: "Really? I praise people every day; how could it be rare?"

Shangguan Ting smiled: "Is that so? So that's your usual style? But you have never praised me."

Is that so?

Zhao Chi immediately understood why Shangguan Ting said that.

Zhao Chi indeed had never praised her.

Let alone praising her; before this evacuation battle, he didn't even want to see her.

He really felt she was a trouble.

Although she had already proactively reconciled with Zhao Chi, even apologized, and now the only remaining fragment of the Fuxi Qin was given by Shangguan Ting.

But Zhao Chi's attitude toward her remained cold, even deliberately indifferent.

It was only after this battle that he gained a new understanding of her, and his attitude changed considerably.

But indeed, he had never praised her.

According to Shangguan Ting's character, she didn't need anyone's praise or compliments at all.

But looking at the current situation, she might need affirmation from Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi said gently: "Don't worry; hearing praise from my mouth is never difficult, and you will hear it often in the future."

"Is that so? Would being your woman be that happy?"

"There's something even happier."

"What is it?"

"What do you think it is?"

"Hehe, I don't know."

"It's what you want the most."

Shangguan Ting snorted: "Hmph, what's the use of wanting it? It's all in vain; you don't want me anyway."

Zhao Chi chuckled lightly: "Who said I don't want it? I want it right now!"

Shangguan Ting's eyes lit up: "Are you serious?"

"Of course I'm serious!"

"Then... then what are you going to do to me?"

"Asking a question you already know the answer to; you shouldn't have changed your outfit just now."

"How can that be? It's all soaked through; how could I go find you wearing that?"

"Then you'll have to change again in a moment."

"Change then change; if I can be with you, I'm willing to change a hundred outfits."

"Alright, I'll cover all your full-body outfits from now on, giving you only the highest quality ones."

Zhao Chi swept Shangguan Ting up in his arms horizontally.

She really was petite and delicate.

Holding her in his arms was effortless.

Shangguan Ting seemed truly to have been expecting this for a long time; her whole body trembled with excitement.

Her hands tightly gripped Zhao Chi's clothes, and at the same time, she said with some emotion: "No one has ever held me like this before."

Zhao Chi laughed: "Who would dare? Hugging a she-tiger would scare anyone to death."

Shangguan Ting also laughed: "Then why do you dare?"

Speaking of this, she became somewhat melancholic: "Actually, I don't want to be a she-tiger either; which woman doesn't want to be a little kitten? But there's nothing I can do; can you let me be a little kitten again?"

"... It might be difficult now, but in a few months, at most no more than half a year, absolutely yes!"

"Mm! I believe you!"

"Let's go, little kitty."

Zhao Chi held Shangguan Ting and teleported to Penglai Town, then walked briskly toward the Phoenix Chant Pavilion.

Shangguan Ting knew what was about to happen.

And it was truly going to happen.

Yet she still deliberately asked, "Zhao Chi, where are you taking your little kitty?"

"Of course to the kitty's nest."

Shangguan Ting giggled, "And then? What will we do once we reach the kitty's nest~"

Zhao Chi chuckled softly, "Didn't you just ask that once already? Why ask again?"

"I just want to hear you say it~"

"What do you think?"

"Heehee, I don't know."

"Those things you're most looking forward to."

"Which ones~?"

"Hmph, asking when you already know, right? Whatever you say now, the Yihuijiu Society will do later; whatever you don't say, the Yihuijiu Society won't do later."

"Oh, don't be like that~ Although I'm a few years older than you, I still can't bring myself to say such words... Could you perhaps... at least today, could you take care of me a bit?"

"... Alright."

"I knew you'd agree~ Then... what will you do to me?"

Zhao Chi smiled, "You really can't say it? How come you're steering me in that direction?"

Shangguan Ting leaned against his chest, smiling brightly, "What's wrong? Isn't this just letting you say it?"

"I won't say it either; you'll know in a moment. Besides, it will also let you understand why your costume change was in vain."

"Say it, I want to hear~"

"Fine, then I'll say it. Today I won't do anything to you; after all, I should indeed take care of you a bit today. The rest can be handled simply; I'll just help you open them up, but I'll have to expend more words."
