Chapter 514

This is... Zhao Chi was shocked!

"This is your hardened skin!? You peeled your skin off!?"

Zhao Chi was extremely surprised, staring fixedly at Tang Ruan.

Tang Ruan said nervously:

"It's okay, my lord, you don't need to feel sorry for me; anyway, I have to let Qi Qi Yue hack me every day, and I'm covered in scars anyway.

"Although it's more troublesome now, I also feel more satisfied.

"Anyway, I have to get injured every day, so how I get injured is the same; if my skin is useful, isn't that killing two birds with one stone?

"You're not angry, are you, my lord?"

It really was her skin!?

Zhao Chi wasn't angry, but shocked.

He stuttered a bit: "How can these be mentioned in the same breath? You let Qi Qi Yue hack you to practice the blocking of your skin-armor, making you more proficient. This, this peeling... this is pure pain."

Tang Ruan acted like a spoiled child: "My lord, don't you know what kind of person I am? You should know me best. You're so rough in bed, making me roll my eyes, and I've never seen you stop..."

Zhao Chi was speechless: "No, I... you..."

Gu Qing quickly smoothed things over.

"My lord, Tang Ruan's situation is indeed like this. I felt very sorry for her at first, but what she said makes sense, and it's actually not bloody. If done well, not even blood appears; it just reveals her soft, tender skin underneath."

"But..."

"My lord, if Tang Ruan was even a little reluctant, or even a little truly unwilling, I would be able to see it, and I would stop her for you. But she was truly happy just now, so I think this is really nothing."

Zhao Chi was silent.

People usually say that to practice martial arts, one must first practice taking a beating.

First learn how to take a beating, and then in actual combat, you will know how to minimize your own damage.

So Tang Ruan practiced with Qi Qi Yue every day, and was covered in scars every day, but her defensive skills were steadily improving.

Although Zhao Chi felt sorry for her, Tang Ruan was truly enjoying it, and she knew how to block attacks for the best effect, so Zhao Chi let her be.

But this kind of...

Zhao Chi found it very hard to accept.

Gu Qing said again: "My lord, when Tang Ruan feels pain, she feels happy physiologically. If her skin is truly useful to you and can help the sisters, she will also feel happy and proud from the bottom of her heart, and she really doesn't mind, so why not satisfy her? Let her be happy both physiologically and psychologically."

Zhao Chi sighed: "Alright... but when did you do this? Listening to this, you were also a participant in Tang Ruan peeling her skin?"

Zhuang Ya lowered her head and raised her hand, not daring to look at Zhao Chi: "I also participated."

These women...

Gu Qing replied: "Yes, I participated too. Tang Ruan came to me for help just now; I didn't agree at first, but she stated these reasons, and I really had no reason to refute. But I couldn't bring myself to do it, so I went to Zhuang Ya without authorization..."

Zhuang Ya glanced at Zhao Chi: "I was actually very hesitant... but if I didn't help, Tang Ruan would peel it herself, and it would end up crooked, and... so I helped her..."

Good heavens...

This was a gang.

Zhao Chi covered his forehead: "So, you peeled two skins?"

Tang Ruan smiled and took out another piece of white skin that had been peeled very messily.

Zhao Chi's worldview was colliding.

Gu Qing said again: "My lord, the silk I spin is theoretically also my body fluid, and even contains my blood; why didn't you have such a big reaction? Don't be constrained by form; in this matter, no one has lost anything. Tang Ruan is also very happy."

Tang Ruan was also nodding: "Yes, yes, look at my morale, the talent bonus is already full."

Zhuang Ya's talent bonus was also full; he didn't know if she had increased her morale because of peeling Tang Ruan's skin...

Tang Ruan continued: "My lord, don't look at it as my skin; look at it as my hair, or my nails; wouldn't it be easier to accept? And it's not a bloody peeling, but like a snake shedding its skin, taking off the old outer skin, and the inside won't be injured."

"Like a snake shedding its skin?"

"Yes, inside this layer of armor of mine, it's not muscle and internal organs, but a very thin layer of skin. If I'm careful and peel along the space between the two layers of skin, I have no pain at all, just feeling a bit cold."

Zhao Chi was stunned.

Tang Ruan continued: "So, I can actually have no pain at all, you don't need to feel sorry for me. Of course, if the knife is a bit crooked when peeling, I will still get injured, but I'll be even happier if I get injured."

Zhuang Ya added: "My lord, I discovered that when I helped her peel the skin, I was actually very good at it. I don't know if I was born good at it or if I practiced it just now by peeling the ogre skin. So I can be the one to peel Tang Ruan's skin, ensuring as little damage to her as possible, and the skin can be very complete."

"It's okay if I get injured," Tang Ruan added softly.

Zhao Chi considered it repeatedly and finally nodded.

"Tang Ruan, don't have any psychological burden, and don't have any psychological pressure. If you ever feel even a hint of unwillingness, you must tell me, okay?"

Tang Ruan smiled like a flower.

She nodded happily: "Of course, I'm actually afraid you have psychological pressure and burden. If you feel sorry for me, just be a bit rougher in bed, consider it compensation for me~"

Zhao Chi said nothing more.

But he hadn't seen Qi Qi Yue.

"Where is Qi Qi Yue?" Zhao Chi looked around.

Gu Qing said: "Qi Qi Yue couldn't bear to watch, so she went to the tailor shop to wait for you."

Zhao Chi looked at the white skin in his hand; the shape was exquisite, like Tang Ruan's cicada slough, and it carried the beauty of her figure.

Zhao Chi found it hard to describe his current mood; it was very complex and also very moving.

Since that was the case, he shouldn't waste Tang Ruan's good intentions.

He would go try again.

Zhao Chi walked into the tailor shop hesitantly, and Qi Qi Yue looked at Zhao Chi with concern.

"My lord, don't have psychological pressure, and don't have any moral condemnation of yourself. Tang Ruan and all of us hope that the territory can get better and better. Although I couldn't bear to watch, I also know Tang Ruan's thoughts; she is sincere."

Zhao Chi nodded: "Understood, then let's try it."

"Alright, please come in."

There were two pieces of Tang Ruan's skin in total.

But one piece was ruined, and only half could be used.

A total of 3 pairs of high heels could be made.

Zhao Chi activated the Quick-Work Talisman and entered production mode.

In this mode, all materials were different.

Zhao Chi could clearly feel the difference in this skin that was as white as beautiful jade.

Tough yet soft.

Smooth and delicate.

He had to tan this jade skin first before it would become leather.

Under the blessing of the Quick-Work Talisman, it was completed quickly.

What he held now was white jade leather; the scale-like surface had disappeared, completely turning into a smooth, flexible surface.

The color was even whiter.

Before making anything, Zhao Chi knew this leather was definitely extraordinary.

Make, make, make.

Soon, the three pairs of high heels were finished.

When Zhao Chi performed the improvement, the system popped up a prompt:

[The current fashion has unconfigured improvement points, do you want to configure them first?]

It was indeed like this!

Zhao Chi clicked configure.

The familiar improvement interface appeared.

[Please select the improvement direction]

[High heel improvement points] 10 points

[1. Evasion 5%] 10 points

[2. Kick 20%] 10 points

[3. Fall damage -5%] 2 points

[4. Comfort 10%] 2 points

[5. Cleanliness 20%] 2 points

The high heel technology had already maxed out evasion, reaching a +50% evasion effect, and could no longer be improved.

These 10 improvement points could only be chosen from the remaining 4.
