Chapter 345

"I'll let you have your fill tomorrow night."

"Then it won't just be eating face."

"Hehe, wherever you want to eat, I'll let you eat your fill."

Gu Qing sat in front of him with a playful smile, gazing at Zhao Chi with silken, alluring eyes.

"My lord, I can't hold back any longer."

"Huh? What can't you hold back? Again?"

Gu Qing covered her mouth and burst out laughing:

"Hahaha, what is that, look how scared you are, hmph, stinky man!"

Zhao Chi: "Huh??"

【Your subordinate Gu Qing's sincerity level already increased to 9: Through Fire and Water】

(Through Fire and Water: loyalty overflows beyond words; you can safely entrust her with the most important tasks and can expect her to perform beyond her own strength)

【Gu Qing's "Favorability" has increased; current level is "Bewitching Infatuation"】

(Bewitching Infatuation: Tier Three Favorability; when using skills on her, effects increase by 60%)

A string of system prompts came through.

Zhao Chi finally understood what Gu Qing couldn't hold back.

She couldn't help raising her Favorability and sincerity toward Zhao Chi again.

With this, the Favorability Zhao Chi had just caught up on was once more surpassed by Gu Qing.

Gu Qing also murmured: "Now you know what it is, right? Hurry up and chase my progress, Bewitching Infatuation… when will you ever be able to feel that way about me?"

Zhao Chi scratched his head: "I feel like I'm already that way about you right now."

"Haha, you're talking nonsense, the system doesn't even acknowledge it."

"I don't know when either."

"Mm, it's fine, compared to the system I trust you more. If you say it's there, then it's there."

Gu Qing's eyes sparkled.

Zhao Chi's heart skipped half a beat inside.

Zhao Chi sighed: "No good, being with you really makes me want to indulge every single moment. Let's hurry out, or I'll die in bed today."

"How could such a thing happen? You're talking nonsense again… then let's go."

Gu Qing gently pulled him up.

Casually, she glanced at the table.

It needed to be tidied up properly too.

"Alright, my lord, you go out and be busy. Leave the room to me to clean up. I guarantee it'll be spotless when you return."

Zhao Chi nodded: "Good, thank you for your hard work."

"Not at all, thank the Lord for your hard work. See you in a bit."

"See you in a bit."

Coming out of the room, Zhao Chi again felt his steps a little unsteady.

This time it had nothing to do with the Speed-Work Talisman; it was entirely caused by Gu Qing.

If he didn't control himself more in the future, he'd sooner or later die on her belly.

It's a pity the Genetic Points cap is only 5 right now—too few.

He wondered if there was any way to increase it.

If it could be increased, he'd definitely be able to handle Gu Qing properly in the future.

He'll think about it later.

Zhao Chi found the construction team that was hard at work.

Fang Li glanced at Zhao Chi, then laughed awkwardly: "Oh, my lord, why have you come to our place? Any instructions?"

Zhao Chi had no idea what she was being awkward about.

Not just her—even the female construction workers beside her had strange expressions on their faces.

It was probably still because of Gu Qing.

That little minx's voice was even louder the last few times, especially when increasing Energy Points.

Even covering his mouth couldn't muffle it.

No wonder they had such strange expressions.

This made Zhao Chi feel a little awkward too.

He said calmly: "Clear out two plots of farmland, then build 1 Oil Refinery. Can it be done before 6 AM tomorrow?"

Fang Li smiled: "No problem. That area has already been chopped clean by Lin Mei's logging team; the land is ready to be cultivated directly. We can absolutely finish building the Oil Refinery on time."

Zhao Chi nodded: "That's good, thank you for your hard work."

Fang Li waved her hand: "Not hard work, my lord has worked hard."

Once she said that, the dozen or so female construction workers behind her all covered their mouths and snickered.

Fang Li hadn't meant anything else originally, but their snickering made it seem as if she had another meaning.

Fang Li quickly laughed and explained.

Zhao Chi said helplessly: "You all keep at it, I'm leaving."

Next, he headed straight for the training ground.

The training on the field was in full swing.

Tang Ruan led one group, Qi Yue led another; they were practicing throwing.

Each person held a wooden spear and hurled it with force at a row of wooden figures ahead.

These wooden spears couldn't be thrown too far, but these female soldiers could easily toss them thirty meters, and still maintain considerable power and accuracy.

The wooden figures fell one after another, but plenty of wooden spears were left stuck at angles in the earth.

The tail section vibrated violently, emitting a buzzing sound.

One could tell their accuracy still had room for improvement, but their strength passed muster.

Zhao Chi deliberately circled around and approached them from behind.

Soon, the throwing practice was finished.

Rest for twenty minutes.

These female soldiers happily paired off and headed for the Carefree Spring.

They were quite satisfied to have such a spring here — it could wash away sweat, relieve fatigue, and bring joy.

Tang Ruan was also drenched in sweat, but when she saw Zhao Chi she couldn't move another step.

"My lord? You were looking for me?"

"Yes."

Qi Yue had been waiting for Tang Ruan, but seeing the situation, she said softly, "My lord, Tang Ruan, I'll head to the Carefree Spring first. Call me if you need anything."

Zhao Chi replied, "Alright. Tang Ruan is staying with me tonight. You go on ahead — good luck."

Qi Yue was slightly surprised, but she still smiled and nodded before leaving.

Tang Ruan was also a little surprised.

She covered her mouth and stole a glance at the lord's house.

"My lord, Sister Gu… are you not satisfied with her?"

"Huh? What?"

Tang Ruan said, puzzled, "Just now we heard Sister Gu's voice… it really sounded like a very happy voice. She… could it be that she can't satisfy the lord?"

Zhao Chi was dumbfounded.

Tang Ruan hurriedly explained, "It's not that I'm unwilling — I'm very willing. I mean, Sister Gu just… just her first day, shouldn't you be with her? You just finished with her and came looking for me — she'll be hurt, won't she?"

This Tang Ruan…

Her little head might not be the sharpest, but she sure had plenty of thoughts.

And she was quite considerate of others.

Zhao Chi pinched her little cheeks — soft and tender.

He pinched her mouth open, revealing her little tiger teeth.

"What nonsense are you thinking? Go wash up first, then come with me to work."

"Huh?"
