Chapter 348

Besides the discomfort this time, there was actually also a trace of… joy?

Why?

What was there to be joyful about?

If I look more carefully…

It's like getting a pleasant buzz from drinking?

Although it's uncomfortable, there's now a strange sense of excitement and delight.

Morale didn't increase, but my mood underwent this change.

So this is what Tang Ruan's "masochistic tendency" talent feels like?

Zhao Chi 【Tang Ruan, how do you feel?】

Tang Ruan 【Mm… a bit dizzy, but I feel all right】

Zhao Chi 【Good, then let's keep going】

Tang Ruan 【Mm, my lord, I'd like to ask you a question, may I?】

Zhao Chi 【Of course, go ahead and ask】

Tang Ruan 【My lord, being inside my body, you won't make me pregnant, will you?】

Huh???

Zhao Chi was momentarily stunned.

What is that little brain of Tang Ruan's thinking about now?

Zhao Chi 【I don't even have a body right now, how could I possibly make you pregnant? Why would you even have such a thought?】

Tang Ruan was also a little embarrassed.

She said softly 【Actually I'm still feeling a bit nauseous, like I want to throw up, I was afraid that…】

Zhao Chi sighed 【Don't worry, it won't happen】

Tang Ruan 【Ah! I'm not saying I don't want to, I really do want to, but nothing has actually happened yet, I'd still like to do it the normal way… my lord, I'm talking a bit messily, do you understand?】

Zhao Chi 【Stop letting that little brain of yours run wild, just work properly with me, and you might even improve your tailoring skills quite a bit】

Tang Ruan 【Huh? Really? Okay, I'll learn!】

Zhao Chi sighed softly in his heart.

Naive, simple-minded, loves to let her imagination run wild, and always thinks the wrong way…

Zhao Chi tried hard to sink these thoughts deep within himself, so Tang Ruan wouldn't know.

Started again.

Then started once more.

Again and again.

Zhao Chi used it 15 times in a row, and still hadn't felt his limit.

The dizziness was very heavy, and the urge to vomit was also very obvious.

But… it was nothing more than this.

During those 15 times, he still took medicine each time, topping up his stamina and energy to full.

He wouldn't become physically exhausted and weary because of this.

Mentally speaking, neither of them had any problems either.

Not only were they fine, both of them were now extremely happy.

Like getting thoroughly buzzed from drinking — clear-headed, but dizzy and nauseous.

But in a great mood, feeling like nothing mattered.

Tang Ruan was loudly expressing her inner thoughts and love within her heart, and Zhao Chi was cheerfully agreeing that he would marry her — truly like being drunk, saying extremely exhilarated words.

But Zhao Chi could no longer hold on.

Because even in the rapid-work talisman crafting mode, an extremely heavy force of dizziness was already very obvious, already affecting the crafting.

Zhao Chi had originally wanted to explore his limit, and this should be it now.

The two of them staggered about.

Walking out of the tailor's shop laughing loudly.

Vomiting as they walked.

Zhao Chi had no memory at the end of how he had gotten back onto the bed.

But it was definitely Gu Qing's doing.

Because the moment he opened his eyes, he saw her.

Zhao Chi already had separated from Tang Ruan, his spirit had returned to normal, with no extra exhilaration or happiness.

Gu Qing smiled gently: "My lord is awake? It seems crafting items in the territory was truly the right choice for you. With Tang Ruan sharing the burden for you, the two of you were just like being drunk — shouting and hollering in the territory, and even composing poetry, but there's nothing wrong with your bodies."

Zhao Chi was taken aback.

"What? Composing poetry too? That happened? Where's Tang Ruan?"

The moment the words fell, he felt a small, soft, tender foot on his belly quickly pull back.

Turning his head, he saw Tang Ruan sleeping right beside him.

She had also just woken up now.

But Tang Ruan was clearly a little nervous upon seeing Gu Qing.

She hurriedly pulled back the leg and hand that had been draped over Zhao Chi.

Although it was under the blanket, she still didn't dare be so "unrestrained" in front of Gu Qing.

But Gu Qing didn't mind at all.

She smiled and said, "That's great, little Tang Ruan is awake too. Now that both of you have fully recovered, how do you feel, Tang Ruan?"

Tang Ruan blinked and nodded.

"I feel like I'm fine now, Sister Gu. Thank you for bringing me back."

"Haha, if I hadn't brought you two back, you'd have wrecked the place. Alright, I'm off to be busy too. You two carry on."

Gu Qing covered Tang Ruan's eyes and kissed Zhao Chi on the cheek.

Then she happily sashayed away.

Tang Ruan curled up under the blanket, eyes shut.

Zhao Chi, meanwhile, was thinking over what had just happened.

He had used a total of 15 Quick-Work Talismans just now before finally feeling severe discomfort.

Whereas before, when he was making them on his own, six in a row was his limit; after that he had to rest one time for every five used.

In other words, inside Tang Ruan's body, the negative effects of the Quick-Work Talismans could be greatly resisted.

Why was that?

If there was a reason, it could only come from two aspects.

One aspect was the physical one.

His own constitution was only 5 points.

Constitution should involve not only various bodily states, but also a certain amount of resistance.

So inside Tang Ruan's body, with 8 points of constitution, she could naturally resist more of that awful feeling.

Tang Ruan's petite little body really could take quite a beating.

Zhao Chi couldn't help glancing at her, only to find Tang Ruan sneaking a peek at him too.

The moment their eyes met, Tang Ruan squeezed her eyes shut again.

Apart from the physical factor—

This discomfort should also count as an abnormal state, so spiritual pressure should also play a resisting role. When the two of them did Body Integration, their spiritual pressure stacked 100% as well.

And there was a third point.

As for the mental factor, before it was Zhao Chi alone; now it was split between Zhao Chi and Tang Ruan, halving that awful feeling between them.

And then there was Tang Ruan's talent.

It made the two of them, although uncomfortable, feel very happy.

The more uncomfortable, the happier.

In the end they were almost so exhilarated it was like being drunk.

Under the combined effect of all these factors, Zhao Chi was able to use 15 Quick-Work Talismans in a row.

And also…
