Chapter 2984

Yao Feng 【Zhao Chi, I've found some of the supplies you wanted. Can you come over? Or should I send someone to deliver them?】

Checking the time, it was just sent.

Zhao Chi slept for 1 hour; in the Greater World, only 20 minutes had just passed.

Yao Feng really is fast.

After all, she's a regiment commander, so finding anything is very convenient.

No, that's not quite right either.

It should be said that she really put her heart into searching.

Combined with her identity as regiment commander, that's why she could find things so quickly.

Zhao Chi rose from Gu Qing's soft embrace.

Gu Qing gave a soft hum, rubbed her eyes, and sat up as well.

"Did my lord rest well?"

"Mm, Yao Feng found the things on her side."

"That fast?"

"That's right, I'm heading over now."

"Mm."

Zhao Chi replied to Yao Feng:

Zhao Chi 【I'm free right now. Are there a lot of supplies? I'll be right over】

Yao Feng 【Come on over, I'm at the territory anyway. I'll just give you the items directly. Also, quite a bit of the high-calorie coal you wanted has already been loaded onto carts. I'll send someone to deliver it for you in a bit】

Zhao Chi 【Understood, be right there】

Saying that, Zhao Chi was about to teleport.

Gu Qing hurriedly grabbed Zhao Chi.

"My lord, my lord! You haven't put on any clothes yet!"

"Ah? Oh, right…"

Gu Qing laughed and said: "Seems like I shouldn't have reminded you just now. If you went over like this, maybe the matter with Sister Yao Feng could be settled today."

Zhao Chi said: "I'm used to being like this on our own territory, so I didn't notice at all. Help me get dressed quickly."

"Okay~"

Gu Qing gently and swiftly helped Zhao Chi dress neatly.

"All set, go on~ handsome."

"It's not that exaggerated."

"Hehe, it is that exaggerated. Hurry on, hurry on~"

Teleported to Fengyun Province.

Suddenly, the surroundings went very dark.

Penglai Town was currently noon, with the sunshine just right.

But the Greater World was still nighttime.

Fortunately, the buildings and style on Yao Feng's side were very gorgeous, and there were quite a few lit spirit-energy lamps around the outside of the buildings.

The surrounding lights illuminated the small plaza in front of the lord's residence very brightly.

It really couldn't compare to daytime sunlight, but at night, this already counted as very bright.

Zhao Chi quickly adapted to the change in lighting and noticed it was quite lively nearby.

Several hundred carts were parked around the plaza, ready to depart.

Every cart was equipped with horses and a driver.

The drivers chatted and joked quietly among themselves, while workers cleaned up coal slag scattered on the ground.

The horses' whinnying never ceased.

Horse droppings fell with a splatter.

Workers quickly stepped forward to clean up again.

The lord's residence was ahead.

Yao Feng's room door was open; she was sitting in a reclining chair inside, gently rubbing her temples.

She had too many matters to deal with.

Everything needed handling, everything needed a decision.

Although Yao Feng's title was regiment commander, there was still a legion commander above her.

But the legion commander was currently trapped in White Grass City and couldn't provide any substantive help.

The Breaking World Army of Snowfield City could only be held up by a few regiment commanders.

Although the Breaking World Army was nominally one force, internally there were still clear distinctions.

After all, time was tight; there really was no time for internal integration.

So the current few regiment commanders were, in substance, already the highest level of the Breaking World Army in Snowfield City.

Yao Feng's White Tiger Regiment and Ying Zhi's Black Tortoise Regiment were both veteran regiments of the Breaking World Army, with the strongest strength.

But during the evacuation battle, the White Tiger Regiment suffered considerable losses, and its strength was instantly pulled apart from the Black Tortoise Regiment.

However, now with Zhao Chi's technical contributions, Yao Feng used these as bargaining chips and obtained enormous benefits in exchange. If not counting from personnel numbers, the White Tiger Regiment had once again caught up with the Black Tortoise Regiment.

Almost caught up.

So Yao Feng gave Zhao Chi completely close protection, truly treating him as the key to everything.

It could be seen from her current attitude toward Zhao Chi — she practically greeted him with a smiling face and granted every request.

Zhao Chi had contributed quite a bit, but he didn't feel that everything was simply his due.

Zhao Chi's strength was already formidable, estimated to rival Li Ruanyu and Shangguan Ting, and after the citizens' rebirth he might even surpass them.

But compared with Yao Feng, they were still not on the same level and couldn't be mentioned in the same breath.

If Yao Feng harbored any ill will toward Zhao Chi, Zhao Chi could only run.

In this world, plenty of powerful lords would act that way — in fact, the vast majority would.

Fortunately, Yao Feng belonged to the minority.

Whether it was her grasp of the big picture, her sense of propriety, or simply her own upright values, in any case she was a decent person, easy to get along with.

Zhao Chi did not regret making those techniques public.

That was good enough.

But facts are objective.

Things don't favor someone just because they're a good person; Yao Feng coordinated the entire White Tiger Regiment, and there were plenty of rotten and vexing matters.

But now everything had to serve the great battle — what needed to be endured must be endured, what needed to be ignored must be ignored.

Thinking of this, she let out another soft sigh.

Zhao Chi saw her rubbing her temples with her eyes closed and didn't enter the room directly.

Instead, he gave a few light knocks on the open door.

At the same time he said softly, "Regiment Commander."

Yao Feng opened her eyes and squeezed out a gentle smile.

"Come in, you got here pretty fast… Huh?!"

But in an instant, the smile on her face vanished.

Her eyes went wide, and she sprang to her feet in disbelief.

The reclining chair behind her rocked violently.

Zhao Chi was just about to ask what was wrong when he suddenly felt a blinding light before his eyes — Yao Feng in that instant was like the midsummer sun.

A piercing yet warm surge of intense light rushed over him, swiftly drilling into Zhao Chi's body.

Zhao Chi staggered back a step in astonishment.

"Regiment Commander, what are you doing?"

He was utterly bewildered, even a little frightened.

Yao Feng isn't going to make a move on me, is she??

Zhao Chi hurriedly checked his own status and discovered that Yao Feng was using a high-tier dispelling-type skill.

A dispelling-type skill?

She's not attacking me?
