Chapter 2867

Zhao Chi's focus remained on combat.

He asked, "Fuyao, if you control the great tree to fight, can you control it 100%? I remember you couldn't before."

Fuyao laughed, "Brother Zhao Chi, what's wrong? Didn't I just say I am the incarnation of the great tree; it is me. It's just that I don't know how to control it well yet, but after entering puberty, besides helping you give birth to life, the great tree can do everything else."

"It can also leave Chaoge Town and go to other towns to fight, right?"

Fuyao thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want me to shrink the tree roots into tree legs, then move to fight?"

"Mm, about that."

"Of course I can."

Very good!

In that case, Zhao Chi already had a real giant beast.

When the situation is critical, or when the enemy also summons a giant beast, Fuyao can be sent out.

At that time, adding the effect of the Giant Transformation Art, it would absolutely far exceed ordinary giant beasts.

Not bad.

This also counts as a trump card.

Thinking of this, Zhao Chi already felt extremely drowsy, almost unable to keep his eyes open.

He struggled to hold himself up and said, "Come on, Fuyao, come suck blood. We'll talk about the rest when you reach twenty thousand years old."

"Mm! Good~"

Fuyao leaned close, rising onto her tiptoes.

Her pale, tender arms wrapped around Zhao Chi's neck, her pure face drawing near.

Her small red lips opened, and sharp teeth grazed across.

A moment of pain.

But Zhao Chi liked this kind of pain; it felt like clear spring water flowing through his whole body, a very nice pain.

Fuyao gently embraced Zhao Chi, continuously taking small sips.

Gu Qing's fingertips sent threads flying, steadily and continuously healing Zhao Chi.

Fortunately, Fuyao's body was not large; although her pair of round breasts were surging, the blood flowed into her stomach, so only a small amount of blood was sufficient.

But she did not leave Zhao Chi; instead, she hugged him even more intimately, tighter, two perfect forms squashed and deformed, soft and yielding.

She smiled at Zhao Chi and said, "Brother Zhao Chi, when I reach twenty thousand years old, I will trouble you even more."

"Trouble you more?" Zhao Chi asked strangely, "What do you need me to do? Just say it."

Fuyao said somewhat shyly, "I... want to try absorbing your genetic material."

Although she was somewhat shy, her voice did not decrease; it was the same as normal speech, as if she did not think this was something unspeakable, and this voice made Gu Qing and the others hear it all clearly.

Several women had various expressions, all looking at Fuyao, but Fuyao did not feel anything was wrong; instead, she spoke as if saying something utterly ordinary.

"If it really works... then brother, you won't need to water the great tree with blood like this anymore, nor feed me blood; you just need to feed me some genetic material."

Zhao Chi instinctively looked at Qi Yue.

But Qi Yue wore an expression of empathy.

Zhao Chi asked, "Must we wait until twenty thousand years? If I do it for you early, is that okay?"

Fuyao laughed, "Just as I said, the energy of genetic material is too concentrated; I... still cannot absorb and utilize it now. I must wait until twenty thousand years. Eh? Why are sisters looking at me like that?"

Fuyao now realized that the expressions of Gu Qing and the others were all a bit strange.

No wonder they were strange; Fuyao was a tree spirit, the great tree itself, not a succubus... saying such words about absorbing genetic material was indeed very strange.

Qi Yue asked, "Fuyao, can you also absorb my lord's genetic material? Can you also produce effects stronger than blood?"

Fuyao asked strangely, "Isn't that natural? Is that not right? Sister Qi Yue."

"Well, that's not wrong..."

Zhuang Ya asked, "Then Fuyao, do you... know what human genetic material is? Do you know where it comes from?"

Fuyao shook her head, "This... I'm not too clear, but Brother Zhao Chi is male, so he should have it, right? He should possess reproductive ability, right?"

"I certainly do!" Zhao Chi immediately confirmed.

Gu Qing laughed, "It's okay, Fuyao. Extracting human genetic material is simple. Given your conditions... you can at least learn ten methods. After you turn twenty thousand, I'll teach you."

"There are that many methods?" Fuyao looked at Gu Qing in surprise.

Gu Qing said softly, "Each of you sisters has several methods... but if we're talking about the most powerful, you should ask Sister Qi Yue."

Fuyao looked at Qi Yue, "Sister Qi Yue, can you teach me later?"

"I could, but... my lord needs to cooperate a bit."

"Is brother willing?"

Fuyao looked at Zhao Chi with an innocent expression.

Zhao Chi scratched his head, "I am willing to cooperate... let's talk about it later."

Fuyao released Zhao Chi, "Thank you, Brother Zhao Chi. Then... I'm a bit sleepy... after I enter the puberty of twenty thousand years, this situation will ease a lot; then I can talk more with the sisters, but now... I'm going to sleep for a while."

Zhao Chi nodded, "Go quickly, see you next time."

Fuyao smiled and vanished.

Gu Qing looked at Zhao Chi, "My lord, it seems you have gained another beautiful woman."

Su Qin asked in confusion, "Sister Gu Qing, can a tree spirit count as a woman? Moreover, she is the great tree itself..."

Gu Qing shook her head, "I'm not too clear either. According to logic, ordinary tree spirits are like the great tree's avatars, or rather the great tree's soul symbiotes, indeed very different from women. But you saw it; this Fuyao is not just the great tree's incarnation, and she is basically no different from a normal woman. My lord, is Fuyao soft? Is there any difference in touch compared to human women?"

Zhuang Ya said, "Definitely soft. Didn't you see the enjoyment on Zhao Chi's face just now?"

Zhao Chi said helplessly, "I didn't... Zhuang Ya, don't talk nonsense. However, if Fuyao is compared to humans, the difference is considerable, but if compared to women of Taoyuan, the difference is not great; she is more like you."

"More like us..." Gu Qing pondered, "After all, she was grown by watering with your blood, and you are the bloodline master of the entire Taoyuan clan; she will definitely be closer to the Taoyuan clan. That is indeed correct..."

The great tree began to grow once more.

This time the growth rate was gentle, yet not slow.

Soon it had grown into a giant tree ninety meters tall and nine meters thick.

Zhao Chi sighed lightly, "Alright, I can't hold on much longer. Qi Yue, take me back. Once I wake up, we'll start crafting. Gu Qing, you all do as you please."

A flash of light, and Zhao Chi dove into Qi Yue's body.

Feeling the warmth and softness around him, Zhao Chi fell asleep almost instantly.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already seven in the evening.

He checked the system; there were quite a few messages.

Most of them were from Shangguan Ting.

But not many were useful.

Shangguan Ting: 【Zhao Chi~ Have you missed me? I've missed you, but I have to follow the Captain to get busy now, so I can't come over tonight. Sigh...】

Shangguan Ting: 【I found some more Rapid-Growth Talismans and fragments of the Profound Maiden Ruler for you again. I'll give them to you when I return next time.】

Shangguan Ting: 【But honestly, Divine Artifact fragments are very hard to find these days, so the ones I found were really not easy to get~】

Shangguan Ting: 【When I get back... we must have a good fight! We can't stop until the sky and earth are dark and the ground is soaked!】

Shangguan Ting: 【Oh my, how did we end up talking about such things? And I even got a bit... a bit... you know?】

Shangguan Ting: 【Why aren't you speaking? It's only just past six. Are you already going to sleep?】

Shangguan Ting: 【Or... are you busy with another woman?】

Shangguan Ting: 【Really...】

Shangguan Ting started her nagging mode again, expressing her longing for Zhao Chi without holding back.

But it seemed she was also constantly helping Zhao Chi search for various items.

Zhao Chi: 【Where are you? Is anyone around you?】

Shangguan Ting: 【Yo~ You're awake~ Sister is eating right now. Only my subordinates are around. If you... Ahh—!!】

Zhao Chi didn't wait for her to finish; he simply flung a Long-Lasting Energy Pill from Tang Ruan at her to let her enjoy it properly.

Sure enough, her voice suddenly rose a pitch, and then she fell silent.

He continued reading the messages below.

Li Ruanyu: 【Zhao Chi, while you were sleeping just now, I transported away quite a lot of Tier-3 Spider Queen Silk and Tier-3 Jade Armor. The Captain said you agreed, right? Time was tight, so I took them away first. Here is the list for you 【List】. All of this counts toward your merit.】

Zhao Chi replied: 【Yes, Ruanyu. I agreed with the Captain. I will also provide some raw materials here. Just transport them away.】

Li Ruanyu replied quickly: 【Good. Both Shangguan Ting and I have gone out with the Captain. We probably won't be able to come over tonight, so you just keep Gu Qing and the others company~】

Zhao Chi: 【Good. Be careful with everything.】

Li Ruanyu: 【Mm, rest assured.】
