Chapter 255

Tang Ruan blinked twice.

"Pilot you?"

Zhao Chi smiled and said, "Yes, I need to enter your body, but I need you to cooperate with me wholeheartedly and not put up any resistance."

Tang Ruan's eyes went wide, her cheeks flushed bright red.

She hurriedly looked around.

All around her were clanking sounds of modification work; no one was paying attention.

Tang Ruan glanced nervously at the room next door.

Gu Qing was sleeping in there.

Tang Ruan looked troubled: "I… I don't really have that many reservations, my lord. You've been so good to me, I'd be willing to do anything. Even if your affection hasn't been unlocked toward me, as long as you want it, my lord, I'll definitely cooperate completely. But…"

Zhao Chi was a little puzzled: "What's wrong? You have concerns?"

Tang Ruan asked in a small voice: "Would Sister Gu be unhappy about this?

"Huh? Why would Gu Qing be unhappy?"

Tang Ruan explained haltingly: "Sister Gu really doesn't fuss about a lot of things with us, but this one… I feel like she minds it a lot. It's not that she'd mind having one more of me—she wouldn't care even if there were a few more—but she might mind who gets to be the first. So, my lord, would you like to go to her first?"

The more Zhao Chi listened, the more something felt off.

He felt Tang Ruan had once again naively gotten the wrong idea.

It seemed she always got the wrong idea.

Such an obedient girl with long black hair—why did she always think in that direction?

Were my words really that ambiguous?

Zhao Chi sighed: "What did you think I was going to do with you?"

Tang Ruan bit her lower lip and pouted: "You're so mean~"

Huh?

How am I being mean again?

Zhao Chi explained: "I really am coming to you just to try out a skill. I don't mean anything else."

"Huh? Oh…"

She seemed to let out a breath of relief.

But she also seemed a little disappointed.

Zhao Chi smiled: "Come with me first; we'll talk about anything else later."

"Oh…" Tang Ruan obediently followed Zhao Chi into the room.

He closed the door.

Zhao Chi pulled Tang Ruan to the bedside.

"Lie down first, relax your whole body, don't be nervous. No matter what I do to you in a moment, don't resist in the slightest. Can you do that?"

Tang Ruan was very puzzled.

"I can cooperate, sure, but are you really not meaning… that?"

"Don't let your imagination run wild."

"Oh… then do I need to take off my clothes?"

"No need."

"Oh… you want to take them off yourself? I'm willing, of course, but it is my first time, so I hope you can be gentle."

It seemed she still didn't believe him.

Zhao Chi didn't bother explaining further.

He took out the "Body Piloting Skill Book" and tapped to use it.

This time it succeeded.

Light flared, and Zhao Chi learned it instantly.

【You have mastered the dark-element spiritual technique "Body Piloting Technique"】

【Name】 Body Piloting Technique

【Type】 Dark-element spiritual technique

【Effect】 Basic spiritual technique. Consumes 10 points of spiritual power to enter a target's body and control it freely for 10 minutes.

【Description】 Can only target those without a soul, or those who trust you absolutely; otherwise, you may suffer severe backlash, or even vanish.

It was a dark-element spiritual technique after all, with certain side effects.

If anything went wrong, the consequences could be very serious.

Zhao Chi had chosen Tang Ruan precisely for this reason.

She was more simple-minded than Gu Qing, and trusted Zhao Chi blindly.

Moreover, her loyalty was at 8 points, and she had unlocked 2nd-tier affection.

A perfect fit.

"I'm going to start now."

"Mm!"

Tang Ruan closed her eyes.

Her hands curled into two small fists, and her fair little toes curled gently too.

Her body was taut with tension.

"Relax, or I won't be able to get in easily."

"Aiya~ my lord~"

Tang Ruan pouted coquettishly.

She seemed to blame him for being too blunt.

Zhao Chi sighed.

The more he spoke, the deeper the misunderstanding grew—enough talking, just do it directly!

His spiritual power drained, and Zhao Chi felt his body like an electric current was passing through it.

The next moment, he saw a strange light shoot from his own forehead, striking Tang Ruan's forehead directly.

Tang Ruan's gaze went unfocused.

As if she had fallen into a dazed state.

Zhao Chi also felt his vision begin to blur, as if he were flying, with wild wind blowing so hard he couldn't keep his eyes open.

Even when he forced them open, it was like entering a world of heavy mosaic—nothing could be seen clearly.

Everything was blurry.

His body felt very warm.

No matter which direction around him, everything was soft and very warm.

Gradually, his vision began to clear again.

What he saw before him was the roof of the lord's cabin.

He was already lying on the bed.

No.

This should be Tang Ruan's perspective.

Did the skill succeed?

"…" Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi found he couldn't move.

He had absolutely no control over Tang Ruan's body.

He couldn't even blink—any blinking now was still being done by Tang Ruan herself.

At this moment, Tang Ruan curiously turned her head to look at where Zhao Chi had just been standing.

Zhao Chi had vanished.

"My lord?"

Tang Ruan sat up and found only Zhao Chi's clothes, trousers, and shoes on the ground, but no trace of Zhao Chi at all.

"My lord, where did you go?"

Tang Ruan called out softly.

Zhao Chi screamed wildly in his heart, but he couldn't make a single sound now.
