Chapter 2736

Zhao Chi knew it was because he had too little time to spend with them.

He really was busy himself.

All day long he could only be with them for a while in the early hours of the morning.

But in those early hours, they were all in a charging state, and after that they were basically drained, so it was impossible for them to quietly stay with him like this.

So they all cherished it.

Zhao Chi had no idea how they arranged it, but every time he woke up, the woman beside him was different.

This time it was Zhuang Ya.

Probably because she had just been revived, so next time it would definitely be Gu Qing.

Zhao Chi's hand slid over Zhuang Ya's smooth, supple arm.

Zhuang Ya gave a slight shiver, then turned her head.

"Zhao Chi, awake?"

"Mm, did I wake you?"

"Not really, I haven't been able to fall asleep at all."

"Huh? Then you've been keeping me company like this for over two hours?"

Zhuang Ya turned over.

Zhao Chi felt the warm, silky softness in his arms rotate once.

"Yes, I've experienced your little provocations a few times."

"Provocations?"

Zhuang Ya smiled and said, "It's this."

Her plump leg pressed against him.

Zhao Chi felt an extreme warmth and smoothness slide over him.

When they touched, Zhao Chi also trembled slightly.

Zhao Chi smiled and said, "This is normal, and with you by my side, me being like this is also perfectly normal."

Zhuang Ya smiled and said, "Really normal? Hitting me once, then hitting me again after a while. I thought you'd woken up, so I was all ready to... but you weren't awake at all! Honestly..."

"How could it be that exaggerated?"

"It was exactly that exaggerated."

Zhao Chi did smell a rich fragrance wafting out.

Zhuang Ya really had prepared.

But it wasn't time yet; after midnight, Zhao Chi's inherited energy would be fully replenished.

Right now it would just be a waste of time.

Besides, he hadn't given her any elixir, so the berserk energy's duration would be very short, and adding it wouldn't help much.

But... being with them didn't have to be so utilitarian.

There was no need to calculate too strictly either.

Whatever he wanted to do, just do it.

Zhuang Ya smiled and stared at Zhao Chi: "What's wrong, Zhao Chi, staring at me nonstop? Stunned by big sister's peerless beauty?"

Zhao Chi smiled and said, "Yes, you really can be called peerless beauty now. Outside I've never seen a woman with a 9-point appearance; you truly amaze me."

Zhuang Ya smiled and said, "There you go exaggerating again. No matter how peerless the beauty, she's still yours. Alright~ since you're awake, shall we go out? I was just about to wash up at the Carefree Spring."

Zhao Chi said, "Don't rush, turn around."

"Turn around? With my back to you?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

Though puzzled, Zhuang Ya obediently turned around.

Zhao Chi once again felt a ball of warm, soft silkiness brush past in his arms.

"Like this?"

Zhuang Ya slightly turned her head.

"Yes, don't move yet..."

Zhuang Ya suddenly thought of something: "Zhao Chi, you can't be—!!!"

The words cut off halfway.

Zhao Chi's brow also tightened.

Extremely warm.

Truly worthy of the Warm Clan.

He couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

Zhuang Ya held her breath, tightly gripping Zhao Chi's arm.

"Zhao Chi... weren't you going to wait until tomorrow... it's not time yet, shall we wait a while longer?"

Zhao Chi smiled and said, "Don't overthink it, I'm just a little cold, I want to warm up."

"W-warm up?"

"Yes."

"Hate you~ even if you... even if it's like this, don't come to the front, go to the back, okay?"

"Fine, leaving right away."

Zhao Chi smiled and left.

Zhuang Ya was jolted by him.

Finding the familiar, warm sunflower, she reached toward it.

Zhuang Ya frowned.

Fortunately, Zhao Chi really did seem to be warming himself.

He didn't make things too difficult for Zhuang Ya.

Not long after, the two arrived at Carefree Spring.

Zhuang Ya helped Zhao Chi wash clean.

Zhao Chi said, "I'll wash you too. Come here."

Zhuang Ya laughed and stepped back, her whole body submerged beneath the water's surface: "I won't... I'll wash myself. Didn't you say you still need to find Qi Yue to make new outfits? Go on, I'll keep you company after midnight."

"Alright."

"Let me dry you off." Zhuang Ya leapt up, jumped to the bank, and picked up a clean bath towel.

Zhao Chi also leapt up.

As she wiped him down, Zhuang Ya said softly, "I really didn't expect that in the blink of an eye your attributes would already be this strong. But after all, you can't resurrect, so no matter how strong you are there's still danger. In the next battle, just hide inside us, alright? Controlling us to kill the enemy is the same anyway."

Zhao Chi laughed, "Why did you suddenly think to say this?"

Zhuang Ya said, "I heard from Qi Yue that once those female craftsmen have all grown up, you want to properly train your combat skills. That's a good thing — the stronger your combat skills, the stronger your ability to protect yourself. But I'm afraid that by then you'll become extremely overconfident because of all this..."

Zhao Chi nodded, "Don't worry. I'm far more cowardly than you imagine. I'm very afraid of dying."

Zhuang Ya crouched down, gently wiping Zhao Chi's spiritual veins and legs.

"You're afraid of dying? I couldn't tell. Tang Ruan said that when you were fighting the giant beast, you charged alone all the way under the great tree, and you were spurting blood like that then too... Be more careful in the future. Don't go looking specifically for powerful enemies just because you've awakened Limit Break Enhancement. Don't forget we're still here. Wait until we're all dead before you step up — it won't be too late then."

Zhuang Ya lifted Zhao Chi's foot and helped wipe the sole dry as well.

"The situation was special then, I had no choice but to do that. Now that you've all resurrected, I'll definitely still be more cautious. Besides, I still have the Nuwa Stone shard, so I won't die instantly. Don't worry."

Zhuang Ya tossed aside the bath towel, picked up the outfit beside her: "Raise your arms."

Zhao Chi raised his arms and let Zhuang Ya help him dress.

"I know you have the Nuwa Stone shard, but still be careful. My death this time had absolutely no warning at all... so I'm also very afraid you'll be like that... Our deaths really are a special case, but precisely because of that, I'll worry about you even more."

Zhao Chi laughed, "Is this still Zhuang Ya? How have you become so sentimental too?"

Zhuang Ya said, "It's only because I care about you. Alright, everything's on. Go find Qi Yue. Don't think I'm being naggy."

"How could I? I know you care about me. See you tonight."

Zhao Chi lightly tapped her delicate spot.

Zhuang Ya's whole body trembled slightly, but she didn't dodge.

"See you tonight..."

After finding Qi Yue, the two first arrived at the carpenter's shop.
