Chapter 2995: Metamorphosis (26)

Fuyao saw through Zhao Chi's doubts.

So she smiled and comforted him: "Although the current intelligence suggests the war is still several days away, how can we possibly trust intelligence completely? We must keep the initiative in our own hands. The sooner we complete the conversion, the more secure we feel, right?"

"Mm, of course."

"So, give me all of it every day. After I absorb it, I'll help you convert the Eternal Clan. Converting 5,400 people daily means we'll finish in just a few days. This makes me happy and keeps you safe—a perfect solution for both of us."

Zhao Chi nodded: "If you're truly fine with it, then I'll give you everything tomorrow as well."

Fuyao chuckled lightly: "Fool, why would I lie to you about something like this? Can't you tell the difference between the sounds of pain and the sounds of joy?"

Zhao Chi smiled: "There is a difference, but they're actually quite similar. Sometimes I really can't tell whether you're happy or in pain."

Fuyao laughed: "Alright, let me teach you. Listen to these different sounds and tell me which ones are joy and which are pain."

"Okay!"

Fuyao produced five distinct types of sounds.

One was urgent, one was long, one was sharp and high-pitched, one was low and melodious, and the last one was almost silent, consisting only of some breathy air.

To be honest, Zhao Chi really couldn't tell them apart.

Perhaps it varies from person to person?

Everyone has different habits and personalities, so the feeling of their voices naturally differs greatly.

For instance, Qi Yue likes to hold back, making almost no sound, only letting out suppressed noises when her energy points increase.

Whereas that woman, Shangguan Ting, is practically holding a concert, screaming loudly and wildly throughout, with a response to every single one Zhao Chi gave her.

Of course, Shangguan Ting's voice isn't the kind that's grating; it's a very pleasant woman's voice.

With her, Zhao Chi always felt a strange, inexplicable confidence.

Tang Ruan, on the other hand, sounded as if she were in great pain.

If Zhao Chi didn't know what was going on with her, he would truly be deceived by her appearance and voice.

Before, he always felt heartache for her, but Tang Ruan was never satisfied.

Now that he's used to it, he doesn't need to worry about her well-being; he just needs to hammer away relentlessly the whole time.

Tang Ruan would sound as if she were dying, her voice extremely miserable, yet she was clearly much happier than before.

This experience was very special...

The other women each had their own unique characteristics as well.

Now, with Fuyao merely letting Zhao Chi judge based on sound, he had absolutely no way to tell.

So Zhao Chi could only guess blindly.

Fuyao giggled: "Wrong~ They were all sounds of joy~"

Zhao Chi was speechless: "Alright, then how am I supposed to judge?"

Fuyao laughed: "Actually, you don't need to bother judging at all. You just need to trust my words... Alright, I've absorbed everything."

"That fast?"

Zhao Chi was a bit surprised.

Fuyao spoke in a coquettish voice: "You sent it all directly into my palace, of course it's fast~ Do the same tomorrow, send it straight to the very deepest part for me. I'll feel it better and absorb it faster."

"Understood."

"Alright... I can barely keep my eyes open now. I'm really sorry."

"It's fine, get some rest quickly. Do you need me to take you back to the Great Tree?"

"Hehe, no need. I'm not far from the Great Tree and can move freely all day. I'll just sleep in the room today..."

"I'll call Qi Yue to help wipe you clean."

"Don't... I'll go to the Xiaoyao Spring myself after I wake up. Please don't let them come."

"It's fine."

Fuyao shook her head slightly: "I know we're all sisters and there's no need for formality, but I still feel a bit awkward. Maybe it'll get better later, but for now, let me do it myself, okay?"

Zhao Chi nodded: "Alright, then I'll go fetch a basin of water to help clean you up."

Fuyao waved her hand: "No need, I'll do it myself in a moment."

"So you're going to sleep wearing all this... filth?"

"Hehe, what filth? It's all proof of your hard work and feedback of my joy. I won't mind. Stop talking, go get those little craftsmen to convert them. The sooner they convert, the sooner their work ability improves. I really need to sleep now."

"Okay... you worked hard."

"You're the one who worked hard~"

Saying this, Fuyao closed her eyes.

Zhao Chi gently covered her with the blanket and left.

Fuyao was right; the conversion really needs to happen as soon as possible.

Zhao Chi wasted no time; after stepping out, he leaped straight into the Cleansing Spring.

Zhao Chi had to clean up, after all, there was far too much stuck to him.

The Cleansing Spring's effect was indeed excellent; the instant Zhao Chi jumped in, half of the white, viscous substance vanished.

After a few simple seconds of cleaning, he was as clean as new.

He should have carried Fuyao over directly just now.

This time, let it be. If she's still this tired tomorrow, he'll carry her over.

Now, he must immediately convert the subjects.

Today's focus is Gu Qing.

Fuyao said Gu Qing could be promoted to the Royal Clan.

There are five conditions for the Royal Clan.

1. Is a hero

2. Has territory

3. Is a noble

4. All attributes at maximum

5. Is a Gao Jie human.

"All attributes at maximum" refers to the human attribute limit, not the Gao Jie human limit.

Currently, only Gu Qing meets this condition.

Tang Ruan and the others meet the first three, but their attributes are not yet full, and they have not advanced to Gao Jie humans.

They could also become Gao Jie humans through rebirth, but there is no need.

That would waste a whole day for nothing, and with attributes not full, they cannot advance to the Royal Clan anyway.

Yao Feng is still collecting Attribute Jades over there; they should all be gathered soon.

The Tree of Eternity radiates golden light in all directions.

Vast amounts of golden light illuminate the entire northern region, as if a giant golden spiritual lamp were installed in the sky; the area beneath the tree resembles a permanent sunset afterglow.

Today's brightness is far greater than before.

After all, a full 54 points of genes.

Even Fuyao is completely filled.

The abundant energy manifests directly on the great tree.

"My lord, the sisters ready for rebirth have all arrived."
