Chapter 469

The next second, she threw off the blanket and sat up.

Zhao Chi felt a bit cold.

Looking up, it seemed it hadn't been a dream after all — there really were quite a few...

Zhao Chi was still looking when he felt a warmth.

Once again covered by Gu Qing.

Gu Qing pulled his hand over.

"My lord, what's there to look at? Put your hand where it belongs."

Soon, Zhao Chi had two thoughts.

The first was that he really did need to get a new stone bed.

Sturdy and durable, and silent.

Although Gu Qing said he was the one who broke the wooden bed, looking at it now, Gu Qing's damage to the bed wasn't exactly minor either.

The second thought was that he needed to start training as soon as possible.

With Gu Qing in that state, his Constitution and Strength of 5 really would have a hard time subduing her.

Not long after, Gu Qing picked up the bedding, looking a little embarrassed.

"My lord, I didn't mean to, I don't know what came over me this time..."

Zhao Chi smiled and shook his head.

"It's fine, I actually don't mind this kind of situation."

Gu Qing said softly, "As long as you don't mind, that's good. But I hope you truly don't mind, and aren't just comforting me."

Zhao Chi said, "Didn't you hear my inner thoughts before? You should know I'm telling the truth."

Gu Qing laughed lightly, "Oh right... hehe. Well then, my lord, I'll head out first. You come quickly too. I made such a mess of you this time, I'm really sorry."

Zhao Chi shook his head, "It's fine, you go ahead, I'll be right there."

"Mm, okay."

Gu Qing carried the bedding out.

Zhao Chi looked down at himself.

He had originally wanted to clean himself up.

But he was covered all over, so he gave up and headed straight for the Carefree Spring.

Before, he had worried it might look improper and lower his subjects' loyalty, so whenever he went out he dressed neatly.

But now those female villagers had a high base loyalty, and had also grown accustomed to Zhao Chi as a man, and to his body.

So Zhao Chi didn't need to be too rigid about it.

For instance, right now he was walking toward the Carefree Spring naked, clothes in hand.

Along the way he ran into quite a few female craftsmen.

They greeted him with laughter and smiles, no particular reaction.

This was also something Zhao Chi was very satisfied with.

These female residents were fully complete women, but because of the way they were born, their views on relations between men and women were different.

As long as Zhao Chi didn't provoke them, their mindset was that of female spirits.

Regarding what Zhao Chi and Gu Qing did every night, they just found it amusing, with no particular thoughts about it.

They themselves had no needs in that area either.

The territory trait "Arousing Atmosphere" had no additional effect on them.

This really saved a lot of trouble.

However, Tang Ruan and Qi Yue were slightly different.

The two of them had both activated Affinity, and their mindset had already shifted to that of women.

Gu Qing's nighttime sounds were hard for the two of them to treat as merely amusing.

It really was amusing, but... they also kind of wanted to play.

And now there was the Arousing Atmosphere.

For the two of them, it might also have a strong effect.

Zhao Chi only wanted to wash his body right now, he hadn't thought that far ahead.

He soon arrived at the Carefree Spring.

He saw Gu Qing swimming inside.

Swimming and drinking as she went.

Very much at ease.

During the battle just now, Gu Qing had consumed too much silk thread.

By the end she was nearly drained dry.

And after waking, she had lost quite a bit of moisture, leaving her even more parched.

So now she was like a fish, swimming and drinking the Carefree Spring water at the same time.

Actually, Zhao Chi now also felt the Carefree Spring water was drinkable.

After all, the spring's self-purifying function was very strong.

The filth washed off the body would quickly be drawn into the rock crevices, then clean spring water would spout back out.

This Carefree Spring was constantly cycling and purifying.

So when there were few people inside, it really was drinkable.

And it was warm water too.

Gu Qing swam two laps, and upon spotting Zhao Chi, swam over.

"My lord, you're here, let me wash you."

"No need, you keep swimming, I'll wash myself."

"Hehe, all of this on you was my doing, so let me handle it. Just sit here."

Seeing Gu Qing was truly intent on coming over.

Zhao Chi stopped insisting.

Gu Qing's small hands were soft and gentle, lightly scrubbing Zhao Chi.

But this way, Zhao Chi got a little… again.

Gu Qing gave a light laugh: "My lord, you're thinking about it again?"

Zhao Chi said helplessly: "Can you blame me? Your palms are so light and soft, circling around it—of course I'd end up like this."

Gu Qing smiled: "How else am I supposed to wash it clean? It's fine, it's already washed. Let me wipe you dry. Do you want to soak a little longer?"

Zhao Chi shook his head: "No need. Now let's deal with the territory as soon as possible, there's still a lot of work."

Gu Qing laughed lightly: "Mm, so I only took 1 point of your genetic material just now. Once we're done with everything, give me that other point too."

Zhao Chi laughed: "Don't worry, it's all yours."

"Hehe, let's go."
