Chapter 2568: Development and Construction (10)

Zhao Chi spoke with great certainty.

Shangguan Ting, meanwhile, was blushing all the way to her ears.

She covered her burning cheeks and said, "Back then I really… I felt like I wasn't even myself anymore, I just kept thinking about going at it with you nonstop… like I'd turned into a machine."

Zhao Chi laughed and said, "Not a machine — a succubus."

"Hate you."

"So you really have no right to laugh at Li Ruanyu's voice."

"Yeah… I lost more face than she did."

"That's nothing to be ashamed of. Don't put pressure on yourself. I still hope that when you're with me, you can completely let go."

"Don't you think I'm shameless? I actually said those things to you… ugh…"

Zhao Chi laughed and said, "I really love your reactions. Every time I push in it feels like a reward — that's the best kind of response. I really love the way you get."

"Really?"

"Yeah, just keep it up."

"You're not just sweet-talking me, are you?"

"Of course not. I told you I love it, and I really do. Especially those unconscious, genuine little sounds you make — they make me feel very confident."

"It makes you feel confident?"

"Yes."

"Oh… so turning me into this gives you a sense of accomplishment, huh?"

"Mm."

"Fine, if you like it that much, I feel a little better about it."

"Have you recovered?"

Shangguan Ting froze. "You… what are you doing? You want more? I really can't right now. If you do want to, though… then suit yourself."

"No, I want to give you something — a return gift, sort of."

"What?"

"These."

Zhao Chi handed over both the Nüwa Stone shard and the Fuxi Qin shard to Shangguan Ting.

Shangguan Ting immediately clicked to close the trade.

Zhao Chi asked, "What are you doing? Why close it?"

Shangguan Ting said, "If you were always as strong as you were when you saved me, I'd definitely take them. But you only get that strong after a buff — you should keep these two to save your own life."

Zhao Chi laughed and said, "I already have a set. The ones you gave me last time, I'm still keeping them. These are ones I just bought, so I'm giving you a set."

"You bought them specially for me?"

"…Yes."

"Why did you hesitate just now?"

"Never mind that — just take them."

"You definitely didn't buy them specially for me…"

"Not going to listen?"

"Huh?" Shangguan Ting exclaimed in surprise, then laughed. "Ooh~ look at you acting all manly. I'll listen to you — I'm the most obedient to you~"

"Just take them quickly. I'm not joking around. I have enough to protect myself, and I want you to be a little safer too."

Shangguan Ting gave a small nod. "If you put it that way… then I'll accept them. Thank you~"

With that, she stored them in her system space.

"No need to thank me. In a bit I'll have Tang Ruan come link up with you."

"Link up?"

"Yeah, you'll be even safer then."

Right after, Zhao Chi told her about the Taoyuan Clan summoning the clan gathering.

Shangguan Ting was utterly stunned.

"What! Isn't that a Werewolf Noble ability? You can do it too?"

Zhao Chi said, "I can't. Only those women can."
