Chapter 52: Tang Ruan the Meat Shield

Having Tang Ruan act as a meat shield is fine too.

After all, Zhao Chi only has 5 points in Constitution right now.

The biggest reason he put his stat points into the survival route was to live longer.

And Tang Ruan could truly serve as a frontliner soaking up damage.

Such a petite woman, yet she has to act as a big meat shield.

It really feels a bit mismatched.

"My lord… why are you looking at me like that?"

Tang Ruan was still rubbing her little belly.

But she noticed that the look Zhao Chi was giving her was very strange.

She couldn't help feeling a chill down her back.

Zhao Chi said, "Tang Ruan, your Constitution is very strong. I'm planning to train you into a damage-soaking role. Are you willing?"

Tang Ruan asked, "Soaking damage? Is that protecting you, my lord, at the front?"

"Mm… not entirely, but if that's how you understand it, that's fine too."

"I'm willing!"

Tang Ruan didn't hesitate at all.

"Soaking damage is very dangerous, and you'll get hurt often."

"So what? If I don't get hurt, wouldn't it be you who gets hurt instead? I'm willing to take the hits for you."

"You…"

Zhao Chi was a little moved.

No wonder so many Lingzhu Society members end up together with their citizens.

It probably isn't entirely out of lust for their citizens' beauty.

There must also be plenty of sincere feelings involved.

Gu Qing smiled and said, "Tang Ruan, if you get hurt, I'll heal you right away. But it will hurt a lot when it happens, so you need to be mentally prepared."

Tang Ruan nodded, "Mm, of course getting hurt will hurt. I understand. Thank you, Sister Gu."

Gu Qing chuckled lightly, "What's there to thank me for? If you're the one soaking damage, it should be us thanking you. But don't worry, my Constitution is 8 points too, so I'll help share the pressure."

Tang Ruan nodded, "So that makes me even more grateful to Sister Gu."

Gu Qing gave her a gentle smile.

Then she said to Zhao Chi, "This little beauty of yours has quite a nice personality. I like her."

Zhao Chi said, "That's great. I was actually a bit worried about you two having conflicts. If there really is a conflict, you must talk it out as soon as possible and not leave any grudges behind."

Gu Qing said confidently, "Don't worry. I'm a woman, so I know exactly how women think. With me here, I guarantee I'll keep all your women happy and cheerful, working hard for you every day."

Zhao Chi laughed, "How is it you're good at everything?"

Gu Qing licked her lips.

A strange smile appeared.

Her expression became extremely seductive.

"I'm good at plenty more. When the chance comes, I'll make sure you can't tear yourself away, your legs going weak."

Hearing this, Zhao Chi inevitably pictured certain scenes.

Like the 108 positions of sowing.

He felt a bit thirsty.

He subconsciously swallowed.

Seeing him swallow, Gu Qing covered her mouth and laughed coquettishly.

At that moment, a female villager called Tang Ruan over.

Tang Ruan quickly came back.

She was holding two small vests in her hands.

One was big, the other even bigger.

"Sister Gu, our little vests are all done too. Yours is the biggest, hurry and put it on."

Gu Qing extended her index finger.

She hooked the little vest over.

The vest's size really was very large, after all Gu Qing's figure was absolutely explosive.

If it weren't made bigger, she wouldn't be able to wear it.

Gu Qing asked in a coquettish voice, "Lord, would you like to help me put it on?"

Tang Ruan was stunned, "Huh? My lord is going to help us put them on?"

Zhao Chi knew Gu Qing was just playing around with him.

It was her personality acting up.

After all, her loyalty was only average, and the intimacy level hadn't been unlocked yet.

If he really tried to take advantage and grope the big soft melon, the Qingyebu Society wouldn't let him touch it either.

Zhao Chi looked away, "No, just put them on yourselves."

Gu Qing smiled and stopped teasing him.

Soon, everyone had put theirs on.

And each person also had a simple pair of cloth shoes.

These women weren't professional seamstresses.

The clothes and shoes made can only be used temporarily.

Probably won't last more than a few days.

But this is enough. Once the tailor shop is built, I can train them into professional tailors.

Next, I need to go wipe out the goblins.

If I don't wipe them out in time, they'll very likely launch a sneak attack under cover of night.

That would put me on the back foot.

And most importantly, there are some supplies in the goblin camp.

Such as wood, stone, fur, iron ingots, and so on.

I could obtain these resources myself, but it would take time.

Capturing them directly is the most convenient and fastest way.

Every lord, after first opening up their territory, will have one enemy camp.

The race and difficulty vary.

Yang Xiong said his orc hero smashed a bandit flat, so the camp in his territory is a bandit camp.

The one in Lu Yi's video just now was a troll, so the camp in her territory is a troll camp.

Trolls are high difficulty, but the resources you can obtain are also greater.
