Chapter 2735

"I understand now, Brother Zhao Chi."

She was very polite.

She stood obediently beside him.

Soon, Qi Yue finished: "Quick!"

Fuyao hurriedly opened her mouth and bit down on the blood vessel.

But the blood in the artery surged too fast, and some still sprayed onto her face.

But that blood didn't run down; instead, it slowly faded, slowly lessened, and quickly vanished.

Her skin could absorb it too!

But it certainly wasn't as fast as drinking it directly.

Fuyao bit down on Zhao Chi's blood vessel, sipping little by little without stopping, watching Zhao Chi's condition as she drank.

Feeling his own super-strong recovery ability and the healing light falling continuously around him, Zhao Chi smiled at Fuyao and said, "Don't worry, there's still plenty of blood. Drink your fill."

Fuyao's eyes held obvious guilt.

Zhao Chi kept comforting her.

"It's okay, Fuyao. Drink as much as you want. The more you drink, the faster you grow. The sooner you can grow up, the sooner you'll be able to help me, so eating your fill is helping me, understand?"

Fuyao nodded as she drank.

This time she wasn't sipping in tiny mouthfuls; Zhao Chi could feel that she had let go of a lot.

However much blood surged out, she drank it all down.

It was very obvious that her belly had swollen up.

Unlike when she was little before, when her belly was round and she looked very cute.

But now her belly looked more like pregnancy.

Soon, Fuyao pointed anxiously at her mouth.

Zhao Chi said, "It's fine, just let go with your tongue. My blood vessel will heal on its own."

"Mm-mm!"

Fuyao nodded and her little mouth released Zhao Chi's wrist.

Zhao Chi's wound quickly healed.

Fuyao's eyes were half-open, looking very sleepy.

She murmured, "Thank you, Brother Zhao Chi… I'm so sleepy, I want to go sleep for a bit…"

Zhao Chi smiled and said, "Go on, rest well. I'll come back again tomorrow."

"Okay… see you tomorrow, Brother Zhao Chi. See you tomorrow, big sisters and young ladies."

Gu Qing and the others also warmly bade Fuyao farewell.

Fuyao vanished in an instant.

The enormous Tree of Eternity began to sway—it was about to grow again.

But this time it wasn't as big as expected; it only grew taller by 2 meters.

Perhaps because the Tree of Eternity's mass was far beyond what it had been before.

It had been less than 10 days since planting the Tree of Eternity, yet it had already become a giant tree 52 meters tall and 5 meters thick—truly not a slow pace.

Zhao Chi understood this situation as well.

Although he wished it could grow 200 meters in a single day, that was certainly unrealistic.

Take it slow.

He estimated it wouldn't take too long for the Tree of Eternity to fully mature.

By then, quite a few other abilities should reveal themselves.

Even if there were no other new abilities, as long as "Mother Tree's Blessing" and "Pilgrim's Heart" could keep advancing, that would already be excellent.

But that was impossible.

This Tree of Eternity absolutely had other, even stronger abilities.

"My lord, Fuyao has left. You should hurry back and rest too." Gu Qing gently urged from the side.

Zhao Chi was in a blood-strengthened state and could actually still hold on.

But now there was no need to push himself.

However, before leaving, there was still one thing to do.

"Wait a moment before we go…"

Zhao Chi crouched down and picked up a large piece of fallen bark.

Once the bark fell off, the light gradually faded, and now it was just a piece of pink wood.

But it was still semi-transparent.

Held in the hand, it had a strong woody texture, and was very light in weight.

【Tree of Eternity Sapling Bark】

【Tier One Wood】

Just as he had expected!

After all, it was the Tree of Eternity—the Tree of Eternity's wood was certainly high-grade wood.

At the very least, Tier Three.

It might even exceed Tier Three.

But that would certainly require a fully grown Tree of Eternity. Right now it was still in its growth phase and didn't have such strong properties yet.

The sapling bark was a Tier One material, already on the same level as Golden Sandalwood.

That sapling's bark might already be Tier Two material, and the next growth stage could be Tier Three material.

And this is only the bark — the bark's durability will certainly be a bit lower.

Once the giant tree grows up and can actually be harvested for timber, that will be the real Gao Jie wood.

Of course.

Harvesting is only the branch.

The Eternal Tree is so thick that even a single branch is far thicker than ordinary timber.

Especially once the giant tree reaches adulthood, it will be a towering giant tree.

Just this one tree alone could supply Zhao Chi's entire territory with nearly unlimited use.

After all… by feeding it with his own blood, he should be able to make the great tree quickly grow new branches.

But for now, it still needs to be carefully nurtured.

Don't hurt it for now.

Before harvesting, he can also ask Fu Yao.

She is a tree spirit, so she would definitely know how to harvest safely.

Now the territory has a Tier Three metal mine, and Tier Three wood will appear in the future — all that's missing is Tier Three stone material.

No rush.

It'll all be there eventually.

"Let's go."

Zhao Chi finally could breathe a sigh of relief.

Over 2 hours later, Zhao Chi woke up.

Checking the time, he had slept a full 160-plus minutes — an hour more than normal sleep.

The duration of sleep also reflected from the side that the earlier expenditure was indeed not small.

The woman in his arms had her back to him, her smooth, fair back pressed tightly against his chest, the whole embrace extremely warm and silky.

After they improved the "Slick Skin" gene, simply holding them was the ultimate pleasure.

Of course, it was already a pleasure before.

But now it's been pushed to the extreme.

Her slightly curled long hair spread across his shoulder, reflecting luster and fragrance.

Zhuang Ya's unique body scent enveloped him.

Zhao Chi already had not slept alone for quite a long time.

Every time he woke up, there was bound to be a woman beside him — either in his arms, or him in hers.

Their reason was that they could protect Zhao Chi's safety anytime, anywhere.
