Chapter 390

Soon, Zhao Chi pulled away from Tang Ruan.

Just as he was about to open the door, he felt a cold draft beneath his crotch.

Right—he was still stark naked.

He opened the system space, but there were no clothes inside either…

Of course there weren't. Tang Ruan had said his clothes were dirty and offered to wash them, so when he came out he hadn't brought any clothes at all.

What should he do then?

There was still a bedsheet on the bed—maybe wrap himself in it?

Bare-assed, wrapped in a bedsheet?

How weird that would be.

His fifth brother Zhao Jing would probably lose his mind even harder if he saw him like that.

Zhao Chi looked left and right, finally locking his gaze on Tang Ruan.

That little girl was wearing a full set of cloth shirt and pants.

Strip them off her and wear them himself.

They'd be a bit small, but at least they'd be proper clothes.

"Tang Ruan, take off your clothes."

Tang Ruan was stunned.

She opened her mouth, unsure what to say.

But her hands obediently began to undress.

"My lord… should I get on the bed?"

"No need. If you're cold, you can get on the bed and pull the blanket over you. I want to wear your clothes."

"Wear my clothes? But my lord, my outfit is women's style."

"It's fine. I'm just stepping out for a moment and I'll be right back."

"Oh…"

Tang Ruan obediently stripped naked and handed the clothes to Zhao Chi.

Give me the shoes too.

"Oh… what about the stockings?"

"You don't need the stockings."

"Oh…"

Soon, Zhao Chi put on the clothes still warm from Tang Ruan's body heat. They were indeed very small, but he could make do.

As for the shoes, they truly didn't fit.

Tang Ruan's feet were much smaller than Zhao Chi's.

Zhao Chi could only shove half his foot in, like wearing slippers.

"Tang Ruan, lock the door from the inside. No matter who comes, don't open it unless it's me."

"Yes, my lord."

Zhao Chi tiptoed out quickly.

At the same time, he dialed Zhao Jing's voice call from the system space.

The call rang for quite a while before Zhao Jing picked up.

His tone was clearly unfriendly.

"Damn it, why is it you again? Can you ever contact me at a normal hour?"

Zhao Chi quickly explained: "Fifth Brother, I'm buying materials from you. I'll pay you double."

Only then did Zhao Jing show a little interest.

"Double? What are you buying?"

"Do you have Cat Tail Grass?"

"Yeah, how much do you want?"

"…Can I have two portions?"

"Damn it, only two portions? Are you messing with me? I was wondering why you'd agree to pay double, turns out you only want this much?"

"Then… three portions?"

"Damn, did you kid just go support the clan elder's side or not?"

"I did. I even saw you leading soldiers to shoot at the fire dragon."

Zhao Jing's attitude softened considerably.

"Fine, you kid can really stay up late too. Come on over."

"I'm already at your door. Open up."

"Damn… wait!"

In the end, Zhao Jing didn't let Zhao Chi inside.

He simply opened the door and tossed out two portions of Cat Tail Grass.

"Not charging me?" Zhao Chi quickly caught them.

"Get lost, I want to go back to my territory to sleep… why the hell are you wearing women's clothes?"

Zhao Chi didn't explain, just turned around: "Thanks, Fifth Brother. You go on back to sleep."

With that, he scurried back.

Zhao Jing also slammed the door shut heavily.

Back in the room, he returned the clothes to Tang Ruan.

Tang Ruan put the clothes on, looking as if she were very happy.

Zhao Chi asked, puzzled, "What's up? What are you laughing at?"

Tang Ruan beamed and said, "My clothes still carry my lord's body warmth."

Zhao Chi laughed as well: "When I was just wearing them, they had your body warmth too. I'm about to go inside you now."

"Mm, come in."
