Chapter 263

Perhaps this really is a way to make money.

Zhao Chi only thought for a moment before replying immediately.

Zhao Chi: 【I'm sure, thank you Instructor Ganxie】

Li Ruanyu: 【No need to be polite, I'll be there in about ten-plus minutes, I'll call you when I arrive】

Zhao Chi: 【Understood, thank you】

Close the system.

Tang Ruan was still quietly watching him from the side.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Tang Ruan smiled and said: "Then what should I look at? Does my lord not like me looking?"

"I like it, go ahead and look."

"Mm."

"Let me ride you two more times."

"Mm, okay."

Another 10 minutes passed, and his control over Tang Ruan's body rose another 2%, reaching 69%.

Before the second 10 minutes were up, his overall control had already broken through 70%.

At the start, the control improved very quickly — after all, going from unable to move to able to move is a result visible to the naked eye.

But now he couldn't sense where the progress was at all.

Probably in some of the finer details.

At this moment, Li Ruanyu called him on voice:

Li Ruanyu: 【Zhao Chi, I'm at your door, come out and get it】

He checked the time — indeed, a little over ten minutes.

Zhao Chi said to Tang Ruan: 【Tang Ruan, I'm stepping out for a bit, I'll be right back】

Tang Ruan: 【Okay, my lord】

Zhao Chi clicked return.

The scene before his eyes shifted.

He was back in that messy little wooden hut.

But Zhao Chi already didn't care — living in the territory was fine, this was just a teleportation point.

The instant he pushed open the door, Zhao Chi froze.

"Holy shit…"

He saw that the hand pushing the door open was a small, fair, tender hand — a woman's hand, not his own.

For an instant, Zhao Chi felt his blood freeze.

He had piloted Tang Ruan and come into the great world.

Summoning a resident of the territory without authorization — that was punishable.

Tang Ruan hadn't expected it either — she had been brought out by Zhao Chi.

The two were now one body, and Zhao Chi could feel Tang Ruan's inner emotions.

Tang Ruan likewise could feel Zhao Chi's inner emotions.

Tang Ruan hurriedly asked: 【My lord, what's wrong? Why are you so panicked inside?】

Zhao Chi didn't answer.

In an instant, he had teleported back to the territory again.

He quickly opened the system.

The message bar was empty.

There was no warning notification of any kind.

No warning received?

Why?

Zhao Chi was a little puzzled.

Normally, when summoning a resident of the territory without authorization, the system would issue a warning.

After successfully summoning a resident, the system would also receive a fine and an arrest warrant.

But right now, the system showed no movement at all.

Could it be… that when he and Tang Ruan were one body, the system didn't recognize Tang Ruan?

And directly recognized Zhao Chi instead?

But that wasn't right either — all the attributes were Tang Ruan's.

Could the system have identified Tang Ruan as the lord?

Very possible!

If so, then moving between the two worlds had no obstacles at all?

Besides Tang Ruan, when he's inside Gu Qing's body, he should be able to bring her out too.

What about the other subordinates?

Should work as well.

This wasn't any remarkable ability, because summoning subordinates at any time was already possible to begin with.

It was just that now it was being artificially restricted and monitored.

What Zhao Chi had done now was merely bypass this rule, but that opened up a lot of room to maneuver.

Zhao Chi couldn't think of any immediate use for it just now, but it would surely come in handy eventually.
