Chapter 2851

Another two quick-work talismans' worth of time passed, and Zhao Chi's body piloting technique was about to expire.

He was about to use another skill to extend the piloting technique's duration when he suddenly noticed Li Ruanyu had come to the garment factory at some unknown point.

She was standing beside Qi Yue, watching her work.

"Hello, Sister Ruanyu~"

Qi Yue greeted her politely.

Li Ruanyu smiled: "Hello, Qi Yue. Zhao Chi, how much longer do you need?"

Before Zhao Chi could reply, he detached from Qi Yue and appeared stark naked beside her.

The current Zhao Chi was no longer the fragile figure he had been before.

A layer of muscle covered his entire body, and when he exerted himself, each muscle would visibly tense up, making him look quite robust.

This was all the result of his early-morning workouts.

After all, there were all kinds of positions.

Different positions trained different areas.

His legs, arms, and waist and abdomen were especially powerfully trained, and the muscles of his chest, back, and other areas had all been worked out as well.

This was several hours of high-intensity training every early morning…

And most of the time, Zhao Chi was the one taking the lead.

After several months, there were bound to be results.

"I'm ready, Ruanyu. Are we going to see the regiment commander?"

Li Ruanyu's gaze swept over him once before she nodded: "Yes. Do you have time now?"

"Sure, let's go."

"Let me help you get dressed first, my lord." Qi Yue came over with clothes.

Li Ruanyu said: "Go into my territory, don't go to the Greater World. I'll take you straight there."

"Into your territory?"

Li Ruanyu nodded: "It's not safe outside. I'm afraid we might run into those ambushing werewolves again. You'll be a bit safer inside my territory—at the very least, you won't be one-shot killed."

"Alright."

"All done, my lord. You're fully dressed."

"Good, thanks. Then we'll head off first."

"Understood, my lord. Be careful. Sister Ruanyu, be careful."

"Mm, don't worry."

"Bye-bye, Qi Yue."

Zhao Chi and Li Ruanyu vanished together.

When he opened his eyes again, he was in Li Ruanyu's bedroom.

A woman's presence was everywhere.

Li Ruanyu pointed at the side table and said: "Make yourself comfortable. The fruits and desserts on the table were just sent in. You can eat them. I'll call you in about twenty minutes."

"Okay."

Li Ruanyu smiled and vanished.

Zhao Chi had no appetite, so he lay down directly on Li Ruanyu's big bed.

The bed was very soft, filled with Li Ruanyu's scent; lying on it felt like being enveloped by Li Ruanyu herself.

This big bed had also witnessed the process of Zhao Chi turning Li Ruanyu into a woman.

Zhao Chi lay quietly, doing nothing.

A little bored.

But at the same time, his heart was very calm.

It seemed he rarely had moments when he did absolutely nothing.

He stared at the ceiling, breathed in the scent of Li Ruanyu all around him, and actually felt a bit drowsy.

When a person is idle, all kinds of thoughts bubble up.

In an instant, he thought of his family.

He realized the frequency of missing his family was getting lower and lower.

When he had just transmigrated, he thought of his parents and his old world every single day, dreaming of going back.

But ever since becoming a lord, one thing after another had come at him, and he had been forced to stay busy.

It seemed like it had been a long time since he last thought of his family.

His parents' faces were already a bit blurry…

If he could go back, would he want to?

At that moment, Gu Qing's face, Li Ruanyu's face, and the faces of Tang Ruan and the other women surfaced one after another in his mind.

Zhao Chi definitely couldn't bear to part with them.

Even if a real chance came, he probably wouldn't leave.

In his old world, Zhao Chi still had an older brother and an older sister, and there were people to look after his parents—this was Zhao Chi's greatest comfort.

His brother and sister's faces had also become blurry; he couldn't even recall what they specifically looked like anymore.

Forget it… no more thinking about it.

Let it be.

Zhao Chi let out a long sigh and realized the twenty minutes had almost passed in an instant.

Li Ruanyu had already sent a message.

Li Ruanyu: 【Zhao Chi, come out.】

Zhao Chi leapt up from the bed, straightened his clothes, and clicked Teleport.

When he opened his eyes again, he had arrived at the Tongyan Town military camp, the current garrison of the White Tiger Regiment headquarters.

Li Ruanyu stood beside him.

Behind her were ten glowing Radiant Holy Knights.

On the other side were several female lords, all familiar faces — Gongsun Bai and the others.

Beside them were over a dozen massive Holy-Winged Gryphons.

Li Ruanyu waved her hand, and the Holy Knights and Gryphons all vanished, recalled into her territory.

She then said to Gongsun Bai and the others, "I'm taking Zhao Chi to meet the Regiment Commander. You all rest here for a bit."

Gongsun Bai and the others greeted Zhao Chi and then left.

Li Ruanyu stared at Zhao Chi strangely: "What's wrong with you? You seem a bit down? Is the pressure very heavy? You don't want to share the technique?"

Zhao Chi laughed: "No, I just suddenly thought of something from before, but it's fine as long as I have you. Seeing you, I won't feel down."

Li Ruanyu said softly: "I understand perfectly… if you want someone to confide in, or need an embrace, I'm always here."

Zhao Chi laughed: "What I want isn't just an embrace — I want you to wrap me up warm with your whole thing."
