Chapter 3088

"Not scared, what do you have to be scared of?"

"Heh~ exactly, you already dared to call me that before, what is there you wouldn't dare to do?"

"Why are they afraid of you? Is there something you know that I don't?"

Yao Feng smiled and said: "How could that be? I've already told you — the main reason is that our relationship hasn't progressed to that level of intimacy, so they don't dare call me so intimately, afraid I would find it distasteful."

"That's all?"

"That's all."

"You've already gone that far with all of them?"

Yao Feng frowned: "Didn't I already tell you? I haven't experienced it."

"Your first kiss is still intact?"

"... It is, isn't that a bit too blunt of a question?"

"Holding hands?"

"... Of course I've held hands, you wouldn't even mind that, would you?"

"Holding hands I don't mind — between friends, between comrades, people might hold hands. I was just asking."

"How did the topic get dragged onto me? Don't you have anything else to ask?"

Zhao Chi smiled and said: "Of course I do. We've only finished the matter of the relationship with the nobles, now there's still those tokens Song Ji sent. Do you have time?"

Yao Feng smiled charmingly and said: "Today is an important day for me — even if I don't have time, I'll have to squeeze some out. Ask away."

"Eat this first."

Zhao Chi took out a pink elixir.

"What is this? It smells wonderful."

"Virgins' Regret."

Yao Feng was startled and instinctively pushed it away: "Ah? You're trying to drug me?"

Zhao Chi shook his head: "Look at the effects first. If you've never done it before, it might hurt today — after taking this, it won't."

"Oh..."

Yao Feng examined it carefully.

"This kind of elixir... Zhao Chi, is this also a special ultra-improved version of Virgins' Regret?"

"Yes."

"How do you even have something like this?"

"Don't ask, eat it first. It needs fifteen minutes to take effect."

Yao Feng handed it back.

"No, I can't take it — at least not today. If you want me to take it some other day, I'll listen to you, but not today."

"Why?"

"Today I want to experience it exactly as it is, I want the most genuine feeling. Even if it hurts, it's a rare experience — I don't want to miss it."

"Understood."

"And... actually I don't need this kind of elixir. I actually... I'm already prepared."

"I know."

"You know?"

"I can smell it."

"Ah!?"

Yao Feng looked down.

A large sticky patch had long since soaked through.

"Ah~"

Yao Feng hurriedly drew her legs back, stood up from the sofa armrest, her expression awkward.

Zhao Chi said, puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Yao Feng gave an embarrassed smile and said: "I didn't expect it to be like this. You go ahead and ask first, I'll go to the Carefree Spring after we finish."

Zhao Chi said, confused: "Didn't you say you were already prepared? Don't you know about this?"

Yao Feng pressed her lips together and said: "I meant psychologically — psychologically I'm prepared, I didn't mean... this."

"It's fine, I like it authentic."

"Wh... what??"

"Come, sit."

Zhao Chi patted his own leg.

Yao Feng only shook her head, refusing to go over.

Zhao Chi asked: "Didn't Li Ruanyu and Tingting tell you what my habit is?"

Yao Feng bit her lip and shook her head.

Then she added: "I can't."

"Why can't you?"

"I'm not a young girl anymore, I'm not the same as them."

"You don't want me to do that?"

"It's not that... whatever you want is fine, but I... I'm afraid... never mind, wait for me a moment, I'll wash up and come right back."

"Feng'er, be good, come sit."

"Ah...?"

Zhao Chi saw Yao Feng's body tremble, clearly half-melted.

It seemed that saying such things with an 11-point appearance still packed tremendous killing power.

Like Tang Ruan right now—if she smiled and called Zhao Chi "Brother," Zhao Chi would melt too.

Yao Feng really did come over.

Zhao Chi took her hand and gently pulled her into his embrace.

Yao Feng sat down directly, slumping into his arms, not moving at all.

When she sat down, the movement was a bit large, and the left shoulder strap of Yao Feng's pajamas slipped off her smooth shoulder.

A complete round softness was fully exposed before his eyes.

Yao Feng was half-lowering her head—she would certainly notice it herself.

But she made no move, only pressing her lips together and clinging tightly to Zhao Chi's chest.

The scent of sea salt grew stronger.

Zhao Chi's thoughts drifted a little at this moment.

But he still pulled his will back and asked: "Then the 400 beast-sign tokens Song Ji gave, I'll just accept them? Confirm I can take them, right?"

Hearing business talk, Yao Feng also regained some composure.

"Right, take them."

"I've heard that people from the World Abandoners Alliance are best left unconnected with. The other party gave us so many tokens, their value is clearly extremely high. You just said they just want us to use these to fight the nobles?"

Yao Feng raised her slightly shy face and said: "People from the World Abandoners Alliance… will always offer a price you simply cannot refuse, but they won't tell you their true purpose. If you want to know their purpose, you have to deduce and ponder carefully."

"What if I guess wrong?"

"It doesn't matter."

"Doesn't matter? No consequences?"

"No consequences, but you won't guess wrong."

"Huh?"

"For example this time, those four nobles were originally our targets, or rather we were the targets of those four nobles—we had to fight them anyway."

"So the World Abandoners Alliance is adding fuel to the fire? Letting us win?"

Yao Feng smiled and said: "Can't really say that, can you? Did Song Ji ask you to give the tokens to others? Did he ask you to go fight those four noble families? No, right?"

Zhao Chi silently nodded: "No, he just gave me these supplies, and when I refused, he told me to think it over."

Yao Feng said: "Right, told you to think it over. They didn't say anything, didn't give you any instructions, just gave you the supplies, and you'll make the choice in their minds."

"They have a grudge against the nobles?"

"Don't know. Every action is your own decision. You can sell those tokens, destroy them, or do nothing at all—they probably didn't make any demands."

"Yeah…they earn so much money, seems like they spend it all on things like this. Really don't know what they're thinking, and giving me so many tokens—is it really worth it for them?"
