Chapter 328

Of course, making them for them has to meet quality standards. Although each pair takes an extra hour, under the influence of the Speed-Work Talisman, it's only an extra minute.

Gu Qing sprinted all the way.

She rushed back at extreme speed, nearly crashing into the door.

Fortunately, she braked successfully at the last moment.

Gu Qing 【My lord, should I still be spinning silk outside?】

Zhao Chi 【No need, you won't be making things outside for now. I'm going back to make stockings for all of you】

Gu Qing was very happy to hear this news.

In her heart she also said happily 【That's great, my lord. I was really afraid you'd faint like last time. If you can stay in the territory, I can take care of you】

Zhao Chi 【Thank you too, let's go】

The first thing upon returning to the territory was still soaking in the Carefree Spring.

Zhao Chi felt the Carefree Spring's duration was still too short. Later, when he had a Super Improvement Manual, he would definitely buy one.

Although it's troublesome now, the effect is very good.

If he lengthened the time at the cost of reducing the effect, it wasn't suitable for now.

Gu Qing was surprisingly very well-behaved during this bath.

Really very well-behaved.

Just like an ordinary woman.

She sat obediently across from Zhao Chi, gently washing her body.

She also bathed every day, so her body was actually very clean.

But today she washed especially carefully.

When Zhao Chi looked over, she just smiled gently.

Zhao Chi was really a bit puzzled.

Has this Gu Qing changed her nature?

Previously, the most uninhibited one was her.

Could it be that she wants me to experience a different style?

Although Zhao Chi hadn't figured it out, Gu Qing in this state was also very attractive.

Soon, the two came out of the clear hot spring.

Gu Qing's snow-white skin was slightly pink.

This was from being soaked in the warm spring water; in a moment it would return to a white tinged with red color.

"Alright, Gu Qing, I'm going to sleep for 2 hours first, then I'll start making things. You go rest too, or do as you please, arrange it yourself."

Gu Qing usually either went to the training ground or practiced spinning silk.

Now Zhao Chi left her to arrange her own time.

Gu Qing seemed to have something on her mind, just nodding lightly: "Okay."

Zhao Chi shook his head: "Something's off with you. What exactly is wrong? Come to my room and tell me."

Gu Qing laughed: "My lord really does care about me. How did you tell?"

Gu Qing sat on the low wall beside the hot spring, gently drying her hair.

Zhao Chi also sat down beside her.

The low wall was smooth and warm, very cozy to sit on.

"Normally you talk five times more than today, and your inner thoughts are ten times more than today, but today you suddenly became introverted? That can't be right?"

Gu Qing giggled, placed the bath towel on Zhao Chi's head, and slowly dried his hair for him.

"When do I normally talk that much? My lord, you're talking nonsense."

Zhao Chi said: "It's fine, your voice sounds nice, I like listening to you talk more."

Gu Qing instantly became happy.

Her hands drying Zhao Chi's hair became even gentler.

"Really? Then I'll come find you to talk every day from now on."

Zhao Chi put on his clothes: "Tell me today then, let's see what problem you've run into? Come on, to my room."

"Okay~" Gu Qing put down the bath towel and put on cloth shoes.

Zhao Chi silently watched her: "Why are you only wearing cloth shoes? Where are your clothes?"

Gu Qing laughed: "The clothes need washing. You see me like this every day, my lord, haven't you gotten used to it yet?"

"Used to it, I am used to it... forget it, come on."

"Hehe, I knew it."

Gu Qing, wearing only shoes, followed Zhao Chi all the way into the lord's house.

But once inside, she kicked off her shoes too.

The lord's house had wooden floors, cleaned and wiped every day, not dirty at all.

Gu Qing stepped on them barefoot, leaving a trail of faint damp footprints.

Zhao Chi looked at her in bewilderment.

Now it really was different from before.

Zhao Chi knew their loyalty wouldn't decrease, so he would properly appreciate them.

Gu Qing walked all the way to the bed, her whole body trembling.

She wasn't fat at all, just too soft and bouncy.

"My lord, come, let me tell you what's on my mind."

Gu Qing was different again.

Not just different from a few days ago, but different from just now as well.

She seemed to have returned to her very first state.

Zhao Chi walked over, took off his shoes, and got onto the bed.

He had been about to sleep anyway.

Gu Qing squeezed over: "My lord, let me help you undress — you'll sleep more soundly that way."

Zhao Chi had the habit of sleeping naked; of course Gu Qing knew this perfectly well.

Zhao Chi said, "I'll manage it myself. Just tell me what happened, will you? If I can help you, I'll certainly do my best."

Gu Qing climbed over him.

She still helped Zhao Chi undress completely.

"My lord, I want to raise your feelings for me by one tier — can you do it?"

"I…"

Zhao Chi didn't know how to answer.

Gu Qing was very important to him — that was an ironclad fact.

As a woman, Gu Qing was outstanding enough.

Exquisitely beautiful, a superb figure, an excellent personality, and more than capable to boot.

Of course Zhao Chi had feelings for her.

He felt his affection for Gu Qing was already at its maximum.

After all, every night when he fantasized, it was always her.

…A few times it was Tang Ruan too.

But Zhao Chi himself didn't know why the system judged his feelings for Gu Qing to be only Tier One.

Could it just be because the time was too short?

After all, it had only been fourteen days?

That didn't add up either — both Gu Qing and Tang Ruan already had Tier Two affection toward him.

Tang Ruan would practically come to the bed and let him do as he pleased whenever Zhao Chi beckoned.

While Gu Qing still wanted to hold out a little longer.

Actually, Gu Qing's request wasn't unreasonable.

It was even rather humble.

So Zhao Chi had been holding back all along, respecting her.

Zhao Chi said nothing, and Gu Qing seemed a little lost.
